The breeze blows on the hills.
Zhao Wujiang and Yang Miaozhen were walking on the trestle connecting the peaks of the Renzong. The beautiful peaks stood tall and the clouds and mist shrouded them, making them feel like they were in a fairyland on earth.
After concluding the Taoist couple's vow, it is time to find a good and auspicious day to hold the Taoist couple ceremony.
However, several elders calculated one after another that during the period at the end of the Kuihai year, there was no good day that matched the two people's horoscopes.
The ceremony can only be carried out in previous years.
Zhao Wujiang's jet-black robe kept swaying in the mountain wind. He lightly put his arms on the ropes of the trestle and looked down the mountain with his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
"What?" Yang Miaozhen pulled back her hair, her brows cold.
Zhao Wujiang shook his head slowly, simply sat down on the trestle, and smiled faintly:
"Just thinking about something."

"The Royal Court of the Northern Grassland has been sending troops to harass Jubei City these days, mostly with the intention of testing." The new Minister of War looked respectful and reported the recent border developments in Daxia.
In the imperial study room, Xuanyuan Jing was sitting on the huanghuali hollow dragon chair, with a majestic look on his face, and he was reading the submitted memorial in his hand.
There were four veterans standing in front of the desk, including Liu Zhe, the Secretary of the Central Committee, Dugu Yihe, the Secretary of the Second Order, Lin Ruhai, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of the Ministry of War, who was currently reporting on the affairs of the Ministry of War.
The borders of Daxia have been under constant intrusion recently. Although no major wars or chaos have occurred, everyone present knows that this is a precursor to war and a test by all parties.
"Zhennan General Xiao Yuanshan also sent news that Southern Xinjiang is also manipulating many strange beasts to attack. These strange beasts are mentally deficient and cruel in nature. They should have poisonous insects in their bodies."
"The Navy of the East China Sea also sent news that the small country across the sea to the east is also ready to move and seems to be crossing the sea."
The Minister of the Ministry of War slowly reported. Feeling the increasingly cold atmosphere in the imperial study room, he lowered his head slightly.
Compared with Liu Zhe and the other three, he is still junior and speaks softly.
Dugu Yihe's sword eyebrows trembled, his demeanor was as high as the Yue Zhi, and he said in a deep voice:
"Age of Jiazi.
The Miao border in the south should be waiting for Jiazi spring to fully revive their poisonous insects, and then invade our Daxia territory.
The royal court in the northern grassland is also waiting for spring to return to the earth, chasing water and grass and heading south. "
"Now that there is no Xuanyuan Yuheng to communicate in the middle, the north and the south are far apart. If they want to attack from the north and the south at the same time, they must find a way to contact each other." Liu Zhe folded his hands in his sleeves, his brows were gentle, and his old eyes were shining:
“No matter what, we must cut off the connection between the north and the south before the war comes.
The two city gates in the north and south must strictly check the people coming and going. It is best that no one is allowed to leave or enter, except for the Daxia grain and baggage teams. "
"Fortunately, the national treasury is full." Lin Ruhai sighed with emotion:
"The fund-raising event organized by Mr. Zhao was actually prepared for a rainy day. Even if the war breaks out, there is no need to worry about the food and grass issues for the border war in a short period of time."
"It's just a pity that Daxia doesn't have enough talents. If we thanked talents like Zhao Wujiang, how could the barbarians from the north and south dare to invade our Daxia?" Liu Zhe sighed:
"It's a pity that I'm old, otherwise no matter how old I am, I would have to put on my armor and mount my horse to fight these barbarians."
"Border defense is the top priority, but the court cannot be without a few beloved ministers." Xuanyuan Jing said in a deep voice:
“Clean up the supply lines of grain, grass and baggage, and anyone who disrupts or destroys them will be guilty of treason.
The inn needs more manpower to avoid delaying the transmission of information in the future.
And we don't have to wait until they attack, we can strike first and catch them off guard.
It's freezing cold in the north, so the soldiers will be overweight and cold, which will be detrimental to the war, so they can just defend the city gates.
As for southern Xinjiang, since they tested it, they fought back.
Zhao Wujiang once said that voodoo insects are afraid of fire. He has also developed a batch of pills that can weaken voodoo insects. Now he can test them in battle. "
Xuanyuan Jing's character is Zhuji, and his majestic aura can't help but spread.
The four ministers sighed. In the past five years, the emperor has become more and more like a wise king and a great dragon.
