Only two walls were built in Tianshan County. Officials, troops, and people all lived in tents. Yang Ji could not expect to have a house to live in. However, when Li Jing and Yao Junsu were building ice walls, they also built many igloos to keep out the cold. Build four ice walls and then set up a tent, which can keep out the cold and not worry about the tent being blown away by strong winds. It also has a unique elegance.

As Yang Ji came back, the courtyard where he had been accommodated suddenly became lively. Xiao Ying, who was sitting at the door carving ice sculptures, heard the sound of stepping on the snow, looked outside through the door curtain, and immediately opened the curtain happily and came out. She held an ice rabbit and brought it to Yang Ji: "Lang Jun, this is the rabbit I carved. What do you think?"

Yang Ji took the ice rabbit in her hand. The ice rabbit was carved lifelike and vivid. He couldn't help but praise: "It looks like the real thing. Who taught you?"

"It's Sister Rumei. The pony she carved looks like it's alive." Xiao Ying heard Ai Lang's praise, and the smile on her face became even more joyful.

Yang Ji was not surprised. Liu Rumei was so clever that she could make one person look like another. Isn't it easy to carve ice sculptures? He straightened the messy sideburns on her face and said with a smile: "I will appreciate your work later. Now let's eat."

Xiao Ying said quickly: "The food is ready, just waiting for Mr. Lang!"

Yang Ji took her cold little hand and walked into the ice room that served as the main room. The main room was divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The inside room was a dining room, and there were two rows of very rough bookshelves in the outside room. After taking a closer look, he was immediately happy. I saw various lifelike ice sculpture animals placed on empty shelves, each one alive and looking around.

Yang Ji put the rabbit on the shelf and stepped inside. A rush of hot air hit his face. It felt like he was in two worlds. It was cold outside, but warm inside.

The spacious hall looked very empty because there were only tables, mats, and half of a tree trunk used as a clothes hanger. In the middle of the table was a round earthenware pot with a round bottom. The small square door below was filled with burning charcoal, and the round earthenware pot above was boiling water. It's boiling and steaming. The soup has snow leopard spine in it, as well as ginger, garlic and other condiments.

The side dishes are also very rich. Vegetarian dishes include dried bamboo shoots, dried mushrooms, fresh fungus, radish slices, yams, frozen tofu, rapeseed, and water spinach. There are even more meat dishes, such as deer tongue, chicken breast, camel hump, leopard meat, mutton, and snowflakes. Chickens and more.

However, the dishes were ready, but no one was there, not even Liu Rumei. Seeing that it was too hot inside, Yang Ji took off his coat, hung it on the branch of the tree trunk, and asked: "Madam, how many of them are there?" ?”

"They ate in a hurry in the kitchen, and then happily ran to dig for fish." Xiao Ying also took off her thick coat and said with a smile.

"I've only heard of digging wild vegetables and bamboo rats, but never of digging fish." Yang Ji asked curiously: "They are not cats, how can they dig fish at night?"

Xiao Ying said with a smile: "We saw someone digging a hole in the frozen river during the day, and the fish jumped out on its own. They thought it was fun, so after they settled down, they also tried it."

"I heard that people over there in Liaodong seem to dig fish like this. They disembowel the fish, pickle it with sea water, and then bake it into dried fish!" Yang Ji laughed when he heard this: "Why don't you go? Don't you want to go?"

Xiao Ying's eyelashes trembled, and there was a gentle smile in her beautiful eyes. She said softly to Yang Ji: "I want to go, but I want to accompany my husband even more."

Yang Ji's heart was greatly shaken, and he felt that the happiness was heavy. He suddenly opened his arms, hugged her tightly, lowered his head and took a sip on her crystal pink lips.

"Take advantage of me again!" Xiao Ying frowned, but she couldn't hide the happiness on her lips. There was spring in her brows. She was extremely beautiful, but she could move restlessly with the hands that were originally on her waist. He left, quickly pushed Ai Lang away, and said in embarrassment: "Mr. Lang, let me go quickly, let's eat."

Although they hugged and hugged her countless times, this girl couldn't bear to be teased. Her water-cut eyes were as hazy as drunkenness, and her delicate and frail and charming appearance only made her seductive and charming look more prominent.

Yang Ji kissed her on the forehead and gently combed her hair before letting go and sitting down to eat.

Take a few slices of fresh meat and roll it in boiling water, then dip it in dogwood juice, which is particularly appetizing.

Yang Ji just arrived today. He discussed the development plan of Tingzhou, and then dealt with the Sogdian profiteers. He felt very tired. Now he spent a while with his lover and had another delicious piece of meat. He felt much better.

Xiao Ying picked up a young rapeseed and boiled it in the pot. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask softly: "Mr. Lang, how is the situation with the profiteers in Sogdia?"

Facing Xiao Ying's caring and gentle gaze, Yang Ji picked up his wine glass and took a sip of the juice-like wine. He said very comfortably: "It's just a few clowns who have been sent to hell by me. This is a small matter. But I have never been in charge of... The governor and general manager of Liangzhou has been fighting against the enemy, He Ruobi, the poor people's livelihood, and the mountains and rivers with inconvenient transportation. He has almost never had a peaceful life, and suddenly felt a little tired. As long as he had a good sleep, he would be fine. you do not need to worry."

Xiao Ying picked up the hot rapeseed and put it in the condiment bowl. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but whisper softly: "Mr. Lang, I think the next few years will be very complicated. Since it's hard, I might as well rest for a few years. Anyway, You are still young, and you will have many days to contribute to the country."

Although Xiao Ying has not been involved in the political field, she has a clear understanding of the current situation. How could she not know that all the forces in Liangzhou considered the Liangzhou Governor's Office as a thorn in their flesh? These political power groups are more and more ready to make moves on the Silk Road that Lang Jun has reopened and firmly controlled. Most people in the world are not aware of the danger. However, Xiao Ying's growing environment and accompanying Lang Jun along the way, This extraordinary experience destined her to have a political insight several levels higher than that of ordinary people and ordinary officials. She knew that once this undercurrent became clear, it would directly or indirectly determine the future ownership of power in the court and several political issues. The direction and future of factions.

The arrow has to be fired. It is foreseeable that the game starting from Liangzhou is destined to be difficult to end easily. In addition, there are too many and too high political power groups involved. The royal family, as the main contender, can only retreat under the situation of not advancing or retreating. Able to face difficulties.

This was a game they couldn't afford to lose. The Xiao family, as an offensive and defensive alliance, also understood this. Under the auspices of the head of the family, Xiao Cong, the Xiao family stood firmly on the side of the royal family and tried to recruit all available forces to help. The royal family fights this tough battle!

Weal and woe are shared. The rise of the prince and the prince has brought extremely effective help to the recovery of the Xiao family. In addition, the future political direction will be roughly the same. Therefore, although the Xiao family cannot become the main force in this game, it will not , can't, don't dare to stay out of it.

And Lang Jun showed his sharpness, and the policies he implemented in Liangzhou became more and more radical. Especially in the land annexation, the corrupt officials he killed and brought down all had strong backgrounds; and in the land distribution in the Hehuang area, he offended the Guanlong nobles who coveted it, forming an inextricable knot. grievances.

What worries Xiao Ying even more is that after the death of Queen Dugu, the saint Yang Jian braved severe cold and rainstorms and traveled hundreds of miles to deliver Queen Dugu to Tailing Cemetery. The old man's belief was that the prince could stabilize his position and continue the rule of the Sui Dynasty. But the saint can use his huge prestige to suppress the dissatisfaction of various factions and suppress all conflicts. If he is gone, the suppressed contradictions will definitely burst out. Can the prince suppress it?

If this undercurrent of the game ends with the prince compromising, the first person to fall may be the vanguard-like Lang Jun.

She said, "Just rest for a few years." She sincerely hoped that the man she loved would avoid the turbulent and bloodless transition between the old and the new, and be an outsider in the game of power between all parties. In the future, whether the prince stabilizes the country or the Other changes occurred, and her husband, who was responsible for defeating Buka Khan and splitting the Turkic Khanate, could live without worries even if he was not reused.

Yang Ji had never doubted his daughter-in-law's political acumen. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it. However, it did not worry her, so he smiled easily and said, "If I take a few years off, will you support me?"

"I'm talking about business!" Xiao Ying glared at him angrily, then puffed up her cheeks and gouged him out unwillingly.

Yang Ji smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about. After the prince was established as the prince, it is not that he has seen big storms and waves, and many things are well understood. And don't forget, there is also a house-controlling beast in the court. As long as he is here, those clowns will not dare to make any big moves, no matter how many troops and powers they have."

"Duke Yue?" Xiao Ying's eyes lit up. She naturally knew Yang Su's importance in the court.

"Not only Duke Yue!" Yang Ji chuckled and said, "There is also Liang Governor Shi Gaojun, who seems to have turned traitor as well."

Xiao Ying's worry subsided, and she warned uneasily: "My mother asked me to watch my husband, and asked me to remind him from time to time. Don't compete with other people like you compete with He Ruobi. Not every time you do that." Good luck, you won in the end."

"You don't have so much confidence in your man?" Yang Ji had nothing to hide from his woman. Moreover, Xiao Ying's wit made it easy to see her responsibility, and said: "Anyway, you can rest assured, I won't be unsure." Moreover, the prince is fighting in the front, and I am just exerting pressure on Guanzhong in Liangzhou and disgusting the opposition. Even if I can't kill them, I can always find some bad luck for them."

Xiao Ying rolled her eyes at him and said angrily and amusedly: "You are so arrogant. You used to fight against the dandies in the capital. Now you have a higher vision and a bigger heart. You don't look down on those dandies in the capital. You actually changed your mind." You want to fight with the elders of the dandy kids. You are so lawless, and I don’t know who else can beat you except my mother-in-law."

"Don't we still have you?" Yang Ji said with a smile: "When my mother-in-law traveled all over the capital to look for her daughter-in-law, she finally tried her best to bring you here. Wasn't it because I expected you to control me?"

Xiao Ying took a sip of wine and said, "I'm not that capable, and I've never seen you go along with me once."

"This is because you have a shallow view." Yang Ji Dundun taught: "For men, since ancient times, they have to start a family first and then start a career. After starting a family, they have heavy responsibilities, and their anxious mind will be completely settled."

"Bullshit! You can bully people." Seeing this guy's malicious smile, Xiao Ying's cheeks were filled with a touching blush. Her heart was filled with panic, and she looked away in shame and embarrassment.

She sighed secretly in her heart, what could she do with such a disciple-like lover?

But then again, the way Ai Lang bullied her made her very addicted, and she couldn't help but want to be bullied by him forever!

At this moment, Yang Ji said again: "Then I won't bully you anymore. Just be a gentleman like your seventh brother."

Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment. If Ai Lang doesn't bully her, what's the difference between being a stranger? How can it be done? Subconsciously he said: "It's okay to bully occasionally..."

Just finished.

Xiao Ying reacted immediately, but now that it was over, she couldn't say anything more, otherwise it would get darker and darker. Thinking about how she felt when she was bullied by Ai Lang, her cheeks flushed and she felt like she was suffocating.

Yang Ji understood her embarrassment, so he changed the topic with a smile: "There is nothing to do in the evening. Let's have a good meal and watch them dig fish."

"Then let's eat quickly!" Xiao Ying smiled sweetly, and the amorous feelings she showed in an instant were like the snow lotus blooming on the glacier.
