The sky is covered with heavy snow and the fire is raging.
In the biting wind, a burly man looked back at the flaming forage yard and walked eastward without any regrets.
At this moment, the snow fell more violently, and large flakes fell down, covering the man's bamboo hat and clothes. This man who was proficient in martial arts but weak at heart suddenly let out a long sigh.
He had just drunk and killed someone, but he felt that this was the most sober moment in his life. Many things and the past appeared in his mind, right or wrong, and those who didn't know what was right or wrong. of.
From his childhood to the present, it has not been smooth sailing, and he has never encountered any major setbacks. There is only one thing that makes him feel pain and hatred from the inside out when he thinks about it.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly stopped in the snow and started playing with the fancy gun. His shooting skills were so wonderful that the snowflakes were flying everywhere, and not a single piece could get to him!
At the end, the gun was thrown hard, and he suddenly fell down in the snow, covering his face with his hands and crying bitterly.
The thing he hates and hurts the most in his life is practicing martial arts, and the thing he regrets the most is practicing martial arts. How much he wants to go back to the past, to the time when he was a child. At that time, he would never touch this gun or stick again. !
He plunged his face into the snow, letting the snow mix with his tears and freeze. He felt that this was not enough, and began to bang his head on the ground again, until a bright red appeared on his forehead.
He sat up blankly on the snow. Within a moment, the heavy snow completely submerged him, and he looked like a snowman.
He couldn't move, but his heart beat even harder. He thought of Zhenniang, Zhenniang, Zhenniang!
It would be better for Zhenniang to marry any man in the world than to stay with him. Even a guy like Yanei... would be better than him!
He wrote the letter of divorce for Zhenniang's sake. He just wanted her to live happily in the future, rather than follow him for the rest of her life.
A woman must have a child no matter what!
On his face, snow, tears and blood mixed together, and he could no longer open his eyes.
He suddenly let out a long roar, and the voice was full of unwillingness, regret, grievance, and anger!
Zhenniang, he shouldn't have married her in the first place. He was too selfish. If he married her, he would harm her and waste her life!
Lin Chong is the most selfish, hypocritical and cowardly person in the world!
It was he who had wronged her, let her go!
But, how can we really forget?
The snow gradually became lighter. He slowly stood up from the ground, wiped his face gently, and his eyes could see again.
He walked over and pulled out his flower gun. He turned back and glanced in the direction of Tokyo City. His expression was joyless and worry-free. At this moment, he seemed to have changed into a different person. Even the leopard's head, ring and eyes seemed a little blurry...
Zhao Tong was sitting in the room of Longyou Governor's Mansion and reading letters. There were two letters, one from Tokyo and one from Fujian Road.
Liu Suiyun sat opposite him, using a wooden stick to stir the charcoal in the brazier. The charcoal was so strong that it made his hands turn red and even his blue clothes seemed to turn purple.
Zhao Tong threw both letters into the brazier and turned them into ashes in the blink of an eye.
He said slowly: "The matter has been decided by the court."
Liu Suiyun's hand holding the wooden stick trembled slightly: "It's settled... is there any possibility of change?"
Zhao Tong put his hands behind his head, leaned back on the chair and said, "No!"
Liu Suiyun said: "Then, my lord, if you advance..."
Zhao Tong said: "I don't have that much power in the court. All the ministers in the civil service are very optimistic about the third brother. Even the prince only has Liang Shicheng to support him. I have a good relationship with Tong Guan, but Tong Guan's attitude towards this matter is very ambiguous." .”
Liu Suiyun thought for a moment and said, "Tong Guan wants to fight?"
Zhao Tong said: "He is old, and what he is thinking about now is his life and death. He must make a last ditch effort."
Liu Suiyun put down the wooden stick in his hand and thought: "As a eunuch, he already knows everything about the Privy Council, what else does he want to fight for?"
Zhao Tong glanced at him and just smiled.
The winter on the plateau is long. Even after the New Year and the Lantern Festival, it will take a long time for the weather to warm up and for the grass to grow and the flowers to bloom.
The war horses were well raised, and the people brought by Hong Qi got along well with the acquaintances in Tubo. These men, who were originally living in Tokyo and living in poverty, were all very happy, and they really planned to live in Longyou. Take root in the soil.
From time to time, Zhao Tong would go to the front of Longyou. His prestige in the hearts of the familiar soldiers was getting higher and higher. He also walked south, crossed the West Sea, walked to the opposite side of the Tubo tribe, and met with the Tubo tribe. The leaders talked and even sat down to drink together.
As for the third Uighur princess, there has been no news, and she will harass the city in the future. Zhao Tao will think of her from time to time, and it is always a pity that he could not kill her. That sword, if it were not for the bottom-up terrain, Li Yananza must die.
Zhe Hanmei became addicted to raising horses. She only returned home once during the Chinese New Year. During the rest of the time, she went to the racecourse almost every day. She even gave names to some of the ponies she was optimistic about and told Zhao Tong to see if they could run more horses in the future. Several horse farms.
As for the Western Army, no one has ever visited Longyou, not even Zhe Yanzhi has paid a visit to the future, or even written a letter. Xizhou only sent some simple gifts during the New Year.
They are very cautious!
February 2 passed, and March had not yet arrived, when the imperial edict from Tokyo came.
After receiving the order, Zhao Tong called everyone over to discuss matters regarding returning to Beijing.
Yang Zhi and Shi Jin were not leaving, and Hong Qi was staying temporarily. Zhao Tong looked at Liu Suiyun and said with a smile, "Liu Wulang can't go back to put the kites down."
The March 3rd Kite Festival in Tokyo City is extremely lively.
Liu Suiyun smiled and said: "There are no mountains in life. Your Majesty, you'd better hurry up and ask Suiyun for the post of Deputy Protector, otherwise everything will be difficult!"
Zhao Tong said: "It was originally extremely difficult. This deputy governor is no better than the deputy commander of the Guards and Military Department."
Liu Suiyun smiled and said: "That's the case. After all, both departments have chief officers, and the deputy ones are greatly reduced. The prince of the Longyou Protector's Mansion is in charge, so doesn't it mean that the deputy governor has the final say?"
Zhao Tong also smiled and said: "But fortunately, you have the reputation of being a prodigy. I have to put in some effort to operate it, and you will also put in the effort at home. Of course, that thing is indispensable."
He pointed to the table, where there was a wooden box containing a letter of credence.
This letter of credence was sent by someone from the Ling Kingdom in the southwest of Tubo a few days ago, along with a secret letter from Ling Jia Bana.
After Linggabana returned, he was successfully recognized by Gersa and became the third generation successor after Gersa. As for his two brothers, the one who went to Uighur came back more than a month later than him. As for the one who went to Xixia But there was no news at all and everyone was missing.
The letter of credence is a tribute to the establishment of diplomatic relations, but the secret letter is a secret communication.
Liu Suiyun said politely: "It's all thanks to the prince, but Suiyun is disrespectful!"
Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "I give you the credit for running Longyou well. Lu Da, Yang Zhi and Shi Jin are all here. The three of them are all members of the same family. They have made the Duhu Mansion monolithic. As for other things... you Know what to do.”
Liu Suiyun's face gradually became serious: "Suiyun knows that he will not let the prince down."
Zhao Tong nodded and looked at Luda and the others: "Don't mess up by drinking!"
The three of them lowered their heads in shame after hearing this. Zhao Tong looked at Zhe Hanmei again: "Qingmei, the horse raising depends entirely on you."
Zhe Hanmei's eyes were clear: "When will the prince come back?"
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "When you want to go to the capital, go. I can talk to General Zhe."
Zhe Hanmei smiled when she heard this.
