The twentieth day of the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Zhaohua.
The sky is slightly bright.
There was heavy fog in Wufan.
Li Chenan sat on a small stool in front of the camp to have breakfast.
Breakfast during the march was very simple.
Just a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns.
Everyone is the same.
Xiao Baozi sat next to Li Chenan, glanced at this somewhat delicate and somewhat frail man, and then looked at the two fist-sized buns on the plate.
She put a steamed bun on Li Chenan's plate, "The food is too bad."
She raised her head and glanced in the direction of Feng County: "When this war is over, Wang Zhenghaoxuan has to go to the city to catch some dogs and stew them to replenish his body."
When Li Chenan heard this, he felt a little hot.
Wang Zhenghaoxuan, who was squatting on the ground holding a bowl, his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
He gnawed on the steamed bun and said happily: "It should be replenished. Besides, dog meat will lose its taste after the Spring Equinox."
"Actually, after eating so many dogs over the years, the black dog from the Imperial City Department still tastes the best."
"But if I say the most profound memory... it's still the dog raised by the master."
"That bitch, if it doesn't bark at the little junior sister, it won't die."
Amu turned his head and glanced at Wang Zhenghaoxuan, with a trace of sadness and anger on his face as cold as a knife:
"Have a meal!"
"Don't mention the master's dog!"
“Dogs die from barking, people die from talking too much!”
Wang Zhenghaoxuan shut up and decided to only eat dogs and not talk about dogs from now on... But he still thought about a question in his mind. Every time he ate dog meat, his senior brother would not miss a piece of it with his chopsticks.
Senior brother, he is a duplicitous person!
While everyone was drinking porridge and eating steamed buns, An Zizai walked over.
"The fog is too thick, it would be a chaotic battle."
"When a fight breaks out, you and all of you, don't join the fight!"
"You have only one mission, to protect his safety!"
"I have already made arrangements for the fourth princess. You all can go there for a while. After all, she still has more than 200 people."
Li Chenan did not refute, because he was still a rookie when it came to martial arts.
When it comes to military command, he is obviously not as comfortable as he is.
It's better to hide than to cause trouble.
After all, he doesn't want to die yet.
"Are Ye Po and the others here?"
"It arrived last night."
Xiao Baozi suddenly raised his head, looked around, and asked, "Where is my donkey?"
"Follow Ye Po...Ye Po said that he has served him very well along the way."
Xiao Baozi curled his lips and said, "This donkey is also a profit-seeking owner who is unjust and will be slaughtered for stew!"
Wang Zhenghaoxuan was immediately happy and was about to say that he could do this for him. Unexpectedly, in the thick fog, the little black donkey who seemed to sense danger ran over.
It came to Xiao Baozi's side.
He stretched out his donkey's head and rubbed it against Xiao Baozi's body. He opened his mouth and let out a few "Ahhhhhh" sounds.
"roll!"
Xiao Baozi glared at the little black donkey.
The little black donkey's face seemed to darken. It hesitated for a moment and walked three feet away from Xiao Baozi.
Get down.
Donkey eyes looked at Xiao Baozi.
A sad look on his face.
Li Chenan felt that the donkey had become a spirit.
"General An, there is no need to be on guard against those three thousand people in Maple Leaf Mountain."
"Xie Jing, there is no need to be on guard."
"Has Xiahou Zhuo set off from camp?"
An Zizai glanced at Li Chenan and didn't ask why he didn't guard against these two parties.
"We are breaking camp. It is estimated that it will be noon when we arrive at Wufanhara."
"It's noon... It's good at noon. The fog has cleared and will not affect the fireworks and blur."
"Fight the battle according to your plan last night."
"Let's... let's go to Feng County for a walk."
An Zizi did not stop him because Fengxian was at the rear of the battlefield.
As for what Li Chenan went to Fengxian County for, it was none of his business. As a general, he knew how to measure things.
"Okay, but you have to take them with you. After all, it's not too far from Zhouzhuang. Be careful of those people in the world."
After saying this, An Zizai left with Zhou Shiba.
Although there are only a thousand people, this battle must be fought with the majesty of a hundred thousand people.
Although there are various sharp weapons in hand, making these sharp weapons play their maximum role requires more careful arrangement and deployment.
The last battle discussion began in An Zizai's tent.
After Li Chenan and others finished their breakfast, they reunited with Ning Chuchu, and the group headed towards Feng County in the thick fog.
…
…
Kyoto.
Yuelai Inn.
Wu Qian, the crown prince of Wu Kingdom, was also taking several ministers in three carriages, following Yun Shuxian's carriage to the Imperial College of Ning.
Lifting the corner of the curtain, Wu Qian looked at the people passing by on the street. After a moment, he said to a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes sitting opposite him:
"Ningguo's poverty is really poor!"
"Most of the people in the streets and alleys have patches on their clothes."
"Looking at their faces, most of them look pretty, but the more I look at them, the more confused I become."
The young man opposite is holding a sword.
Upon hearing this, he raised his head and without looking out the window, he asked coolly: "What doubts does Your Highness have?"
"Normally, poor people think about what they can cook in the pot for their next meal all day long."
"They are worried about having two meals a day and feeding their families. Of course, they will have that lingering sadness on their faces."
"But it just so happens that all these people in Yujing City have faces filled with joy... Where can the joy come from after eating one meal and not finishing another?"
The young man pondered for three breaths, turned his head and glanced at Wu Qian again: "That is the joy of poverty."
Wu Qian choked and shook his head, realizing that he and this young master from Tianyin Pavilion were indeed on the same page.
So, he simply closed his mouth and continued to watch.
Of course there are rich people in Kyoto.
But he found that whether they were poor or rich, their faces were really filled with smiles, just like the bright sunshine in this winter.
There were no police officers patrolling the streets.
But the convoy passed through so many alleys, everything was in order, and people were busy...seemingly full of hope.
He was suddenly startled.
hope?
He looked at the people carefully again, hoping that the word "hope" would become clearer in his mind.
It should be right!
Although they are bitter, they have seen the sweetness in the near future!
This is hope!
Who gave them such hope?
Warm boiling rain?
Li Chenan?
He was shocked again, and his eyes slowly narrowed.
The carriage stopped.
He and the young man holding the sword got out of the carriage.
Looking up, there is the huge archway of Taiyue College.
Turning around...he saw the stone tablet in front of the archway.
Yun Shuxian had already walked towards the stone monument, "There was no such stone monument twenty years ago..."
A group of people stood in front of the stone tablet.
Yun Qian raised his eyes, his heart was suddenly shocked again, and he recited unconsciously:
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth,
To establish a destiny for the people,
To carry on the unique learning to the saints,
Read to create peace for all eternity!
——Li Chenan! "
