While raising glasses and throwing chopsticks, Zhao Xiaomei was in high spirits as she scolded Fang Qiu. Before, she had never imagined that the scripture theory she had been studying all night long could really come in handy.
Every word she expressed was by no means a sentence pieced together on the fly. The more critical the situation, the more obvious a person's intelligence and character will be revealed. Years of exposure to poems and books have allowed Zhao Xiaomei to develop the habit of staying calm in times of crisis; and the year of experience outside has guided her inner rebellious heart to thrive.
Perhaps in the eyes of these rich and powerful people, they still think that Zhao Xiaomei is still the timid and timid little girl she used to be. In fact, she was the timid one, and she was the one who became brave enough to face challenges after going through hardships.
The two may sound contradictory to each other at first, but they actually happen to everyone - people can become completely unlike themselves at a certain moment for their own beliefs, but they are not the same as their original self. The ambition remains the same.
After that, Zhao Xiaomei and everyone initially agreed on a series of plans to consolidate the rear area to ensure that there would no longer be a shortage of air force food and military pay, leading to low morale of the frontline soldiers. This sounds simple, but the specific implementation is another new problem that needs to be solved urgently.
Speaking of this, it coincides with Bai Feng returning from seeing off his guests.
Ma Shitu, who is good at adjusting to the situation, saw this and immediately recommended: "Miss Zhao, why not let General Bai Feng take on this important task? General Bai Feng has won the hearts of the people, and the army officers also love him. There is no one more suitable than this." Someone has been chosen!”
Zhao Xiaomei smiled knowingly, and then followed the trend and said: "Just follow Uncle Ma's words, Mr. Bai, what do you think?"
"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
After this formal handover, most of the wealth and military supplies of Yuyi Town have been controlled by the Zhao family. Just as Ma Shitu said, people love General Bai Feng and trust the Zhao family who supports General Bai Feng even more.
The next day, wealthy businessmen and heroes from all walks of life, headed by the Zhao family, opened granaries to provide disaster relief, help the poor and help the people, and stabilize people's livelihood. Later, General Bai Feng personally posted notices to recruit militiamen to protect the smooth flow of grain transportation channels and to find opportunities to open new grain routes. When everyone saw this, they all cheered loudly and whistled all the way. People gathered Bai Feng on their horses and followed him all the way back to the military camp.
This was not a young man used as a corvee, nor was he captured at random. The grand occasion was truly unprecedented.
Has Yuyi's dusk ever been so vibrant? Those who were recruited to serve as militiamen were lined up from inside the military camp to outside the military camp. The work of recording names was not over until the sky was dark. Those who failed to be recruited ran home quickly in the evening breeze of the city. They were not They didn’t feel lost, but because General Hakuho told them, “Rebuilding your own home is as important as supporting the front line!”
However, in just three days, the military camp was nearly overcrowded.
Bai Feng strategized in Yuyi Town and won people's hearts; Zhao Kuo and Huang Yixiao fought steadily on the frontline battlefield and made many military exploits. Although the two are thousands of miles apart, they have always maintained a wonderful tacit understanding.
Relying on General Bai Feng's prestige and extraordinary means, the transportation efficiency of the army's baggage has been greatly improved, which directly affected the advancement speed of the Yuyi Army. The original three-to-five-day journey was now shortened to two days.
Without worries, the Yuyi army's attacks became sharper and hit the critical point. Sure enough, less than half a month later, good news came from the front, just said.
"The Yuyi army defeated the army in succession and has now approached the Heba family and his son who are trapped in Wuchuan Town."
After another three days, I will report again quickly.
"Sudden changes occurred in Wuchuan, the coalition forces collapsed, and the Heba family and his son fled to the fertile wilderness with the rest of their troops."
The next day, good news came again.
"Woye Town surrendered General Tong's official seal, captured Heba and his son alive and presented them outside the city..."
After that, the seven towns ended their separatist rule and returned to unity.
Bai Feng finished reading this last piece of military information and recalled various things in his mind - he thought of Liangping, thought of Mrs. Li, thought of the Holy Land, thought of Tong Yao and Xia... He took a long breath, fell down on the case, and finally closed his eyes and fell asleep. After a nap.
After waking up, he rushed to the Zhao family without stopping, handed over all his rights and duties, said goodbye and returned to the academy, intending to continue to be a small academy master. Zhao Xiaomei understood his nature and did not stop him.
This magical journey brings everyone into this wonderful dream. In the castle in the dream, the city walls are high and strong, the city walls are filled with the fragrance of flowers, and a small river flows slowly through the city. At the end of the river is a high pavilion filled with people's wishes and shining brightly.
"Now, can I fulfill your wish?" The young swordsman asked himself. Suddenly he felt a faint fragrance coming from his nose, and a familiar and warm call woke him up.
"Brother Feng?" The closer the voice came, the more frightened Bai Feng became: "Brother Feng, today is the day when Mr. Zhao and others return in triumph. You have to get up quickly to burn incense and take a bath."
Bai Feng opened his eyes, but he couldn't identify the person in front of him. She should be plumper in his memory, but as long as he felt the loving eyes of the other person, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, "So I was shocked. Yes, one day I will never feel such tenderness again." He said in his heart.
"Look at you, you're disheveled. How many days have you not taken a shower?" Murong Yan wiped Bai Feng's face, and then brought a mirror for him to look at herself.
"Don't you want Young Master Zhao and the others to see you like this?" Murong Yan smiled, and Bai Feng couldn't help but hold her hand, apologized, and said, "Then, I'll leave it to you, Yan'er."
Hot water has been prepared in the house, and incense has been placed beside it. Bai Feng only needs to take off her coat to enjoy the bath. While he was taking a bath, Murong Yan was shaving him from behind. Ordinary happiness is ordinary, but ordinary happiness is the happiest.
"Yan'er, what do you want to do in the future?"
Murong Yan was puzzled and asked: "Why do you suddenly say these things?"
"I'm just asking casually. If you have a wish, maybe I can help you do it now."
Murong Yan snorted disdainfully: "Hmph! Do you really think you are great now?" After that, she pretended to miss and angrily pulled out a beard, causing Bai Feng to cry out in pain, and then continued: "I want to What, I made it clear when we first met.”
"I want to follow you to the end of the world..."
After a while, after washing up, the two of them put on their costumes and made an appointment to go out of the city with Zhao Xiaomei and other wealthy businessmen and nobles to meet the imperial barbarian army.
This day, this day, after experiencing so many things, finally arrived. The boy and the girl stood there as if in a dream, tightly attached to each other. They couldn't believe it was true, but peace seemed to be really coming.
