Matsukaze Castle.
Yin Shuwei and Zhao Fuyi stood on the renovated city wall and looked to the east and west from a distance. The defense formations of the three cities had been successfully connected.
The large array of light curtains spans the east and west, shining in the dark night, like the skylight in an extremely cold place, and complementing the crape myrtle stars in the sky, which is touching.
"Thanks to your help this time, we were able to build this formation within half a month."
Yin Shuwei bowed to Zhao Fuyi with a sincere attitude.
Zhao Fuyi gave him a hand, "This is what I should do. Besides, I also promised Wangshu to complete the formation as soon as possible. She is still waiting for you in the Taixuan Mountains. If she stays there for one more day, she will be in more danger." .”
Yin Shuwei nodded and said, "She is very good. I have read all the information sent back and found out almost all the guards of the demon clan. Don't worry, this time the three-city coalition will definitely take back the Taixuan Mountains, drive out the demon clan and kill them all." Your good nephew must be brought back in full."
"That's all up to you."
Yin Shuwei was still a little worried when she thought about setting off tomorrow, "Do you really think you can defend this place by yourself?"
Zhao Fuyi chuckled, "This formation is the one I used when I resisted the ghost tide in the earth spirit world. With the help of my friend Li Jiuchuan, I withstood tens of thousands of ghost tides for three days."
"Now, this formation has been improved and perfected by me, and it has been integrated with my soul, which is equivalent to the natal magic formation. As long as you can return to support within five days, even if the demons come with an army of 100,000, I will not be able to do it here. question."
Yin Shuwei looked in the direction of Taixuan Mountain, her eyes shining with the hope of victory.
"Don't worry, it won't take five days, but three days to retake the mine."

"Yue'er, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were pierced by the light of the scorching sun, and the sharp ringing in her ears made her brain dizzy. She staggered back, and was supported by generous hands on her back.
A dark-skinned man squatted down in front of her, lifted up her hat to protect her from the sun, and used his sleeves to wipe the hot sweat from her face.
"You silly girl, the sun is so poisonous. You always stand under the sun and stare at it. You are not afraid of being blinded by the light. What will you do if you can't get married in the future?"
My nose was pinched by the man's rough fingers, and there was still a fragrance of rice.
Jiang Yuebai suddenly realized and stared blankly at the man in front of him. His mind went blank and he couldn't think of anything. He just felt special... and something was wrong.
Just like heat stroke after being exposed to the scorching sun, the world is spinning, the noise, the chirping of insects and the croaking of frogs make me feel bored and sick.
"Yue'er, you go over there to rest under the shade of a tree and drink some water. Then go back to the village private school to pick up your brother. Your mother should prepare lunch quickly and give the remaining rice to dad."
His head was rubbed, and the bamboo hat was put back on to block the scorching sun.
Jiang Yuebai slowly regained her memory. It was summer, the rice was ripe, and she was harvesting the last bit of rice in the field with her father.
Yes, she is already twelve years old and can work in the fields and help her parents.
If I don't help my parents more now, I will get married in three years, and it will be difficult to see my parents and younger brother.
Jiang Yuebai walked to the edge of the field, opened the clay pot filled with water and poured a bowl of it. After drinking the sweet well water, she wiped her mouth clean with her sleeve. She felt that her whole body became refreshed and she felt like she was alive.
"Girl Yue, give Grandpa a bowl too."
The old man carrying the sickle walked under the tree, hunched his back and beat his waist. Jiang Yuebai smiled as soon as he saw him.
"Okay, Grandpa Tao."
Mr. Tao took the water bowl with one hand and stuffed a piece of dried meat into Jiang Yuebai's mouth with the other hand.
Jiang Yuebai ate with a smile, "Grandpa, you treat me so well. Ever since my grandparents passed away, you have been the best to me in the whole village."
Mr. Tao smiled and said, "Grandpa loves to see you smile. When you smile, grandpa feels like honey is filling his heart. Okay, go pick up your brother. After finishing the farm work in the afternoon, remember to go to grandpa's house and read the things you didn't finish reading yesterday." Finished reading the book.”
"okay!"
Jiang Yuebai agreed with a smile and walked to Jiangjiacun in the west with a bamboo hat.
The village has white walls and black tiles, every household has smoke and birds, and the air is filled with a mouth-watering fragrance.
Jiang Yuebai remembered that Mr. Tao came from outside. It seemed that because his wife died young, he wandered here in despair and was taken in by the village chief.
He used to be a private school teacher. Girls in the village could not go to private schools, but he was willing to teach them how to read.
Walking on the road, Jiang Yuebai recalled every bit of her life in Jiangjia Village. She was satisfied with everything. The only thing that worried her was getting married in the future.
She didn't want to get married and resisted from the bottom of her heart. She always felt that her life should not be like her mother's, marrying as a woman and making soup with her hands.
So what should she do?
Jiang Yuebai lifted up his bamboo hat again and looked into the dazzling sun.
That nagging feeling came over her again, making her feel that everything was a little out of place, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
When he arrived at the private school, the morning class had just ended, and Jiang Yuebai was standing in the shadow under the wall.
Two very luxurious carriages were parked under the poplar trees across the road, with servants waiting for them.
One has a lantern with the name 'Lu' on it, and the other has a 'Xie's' lantern on it.
The Lu family is a famous family in their area, and the Xie family is a merchant family, extremely rich.
Because Mrs. Li of their private school was an anonymous celebrity who liked to stay in the countryside. A young lady of the Lu family and the only son of the Xie family learned about Mrs. Li and came to ask for advice.
The young lady from the Lu family was disguised as a man, and only Jiang Yuebai knew about this.
"It's a pity that I don't have money to pay Shu Xiu, otherwise I would have disguised myself as a man and went in to listen to the lectures."
Jiang Yuebai drooped his head, thinking about how he could make a lot of money. It would be great if he could dig gold mines into the mountains.
"Yue'er!"
A voice full of joy came from the door of the private school. Jiang Yuebai looked up and saw Lu Nanzhi, disguised as a man, smiling at her.
"Anan!"
Lu Nanzhi walked quickly to Jiang Yuebai, turned around and took a stack of paper from the book boy's hand.
"This is the article Master Li talked about today. I have written it all down and given it to you."
Jiang Yuebai accepted with a smile, "Anan, you are so kind."
She and Lu Nazhi had never known each other without fighting. Once, she and her brother were discussing an article by the river. They had some different opinions. Lu Nazhi, who was out for an outing, heard them and started arguing.
Lu Nanzhi couldn't tell her apart, but he never got angry or disliked her background. He became sworn sworn brother to her and treated her like a sister.
After that, Lu Nanzhi would copy down all the articles written by Master Li and give them to her every day, and discuss them with her.
"Ahem, cough, cough, what are you two doing? Men and women can't understand each other!"
Hearing this voice, Jiang Yuebai tilted his head and rolled his eyes. It was Xie Jingshan, the second ancestor of the Xie family again.
Xie Jingshan, who was dressed in fine clothes, followed by two boys, walked up to Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nazhi, glanced at Lu Nazhi unkindly, and suddenly changed his face to a smile when he turned to Jiang Yuebai.
"Jiang Yue'er, I brought you some snacks made by my cook. Do you want to try them?"
Jiang Yuebai took a breath and refused, "Thank you, young master. I can't distinguish between men and women. Please stay away from me."
"Sister!"
When his brother came out, Jiang Yuebai said goodbye to Lu Nanzhi, stuffed the pile of paper into his clothes, and welcomed his brother home.
On the way, Jiang Yuebai asked his younger brother what he had learned today. His younger brother had a grimace on his face and could not say a few words. Jiang Yuebai became so angry that he twisted his ears and started scolding him.
"Sister, please forgive me. I really can't go to school. Tell your parents and let me learn the carpentry trade from you. Can't you go to school?"
"If only it were that simple!"
"Yes, it's really possible. Master Li said today that our country of Yun can have women as officials. Moreover, Master Li read the article I copied from Sister A and said he wanted to see you."
Jiang Yuebai was stunned on the spot, yes, the Yun State allowed women to serve as officials, how could she forget such an important matter.
But she still didn't seem satisfied just to be a female official in the court.
Jiang Yuebai looked up at the scorching sun, and the pinching feeling became stronger and stronger. No, she wanted more than that.
"Ah, sister, look, that charlatan is here again. Why do you think he is so good-looking?"
Her sleeves were pulled by her younger brother. Jiang Yuebai raised his eyes and saw a swordsman in blue shirt standing beside the side wall of her yard, looking like a bright moon and a clear breeze.
Jiang Yuebai sighed and pulled his brother over.
