Hello Chang’an

Hearing the sound, Cui Jing made a movement with his hands and turned around in surprise.

A split-second reaction cannot be faked.

Chang Sui Ning saw an incredible look on his face for the first time.

Beneath that incredible feeling, he saw endless joy again, his brows and eyes as cold as pines and snow, suddenly like the east wind entering the cold river, all things left in winter and turned into green mountains and soft water.

The clear mirror-like mountain water reflects the girl standing with her hands behind her hands, and her smile after a long absence.

Behind her was the hanging curtain, and she appeared in this place where she could not have been at this impossible time, and broke into this landscape.

Seeing that he was stunned and silent, Chang Suining asked with a smile: "We have not seen each other since spring. How is everything going for Governor Cui this year?"

Cui Jing finally nodded: "I'm fine."

Especially at this moment, he couldn't even think of a better possibility.

Chang Suining walked towards him and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

what is the problem?

Cui Jingqiang collected his thoughts, and after a moment, he finally realized, is it a hibernating Tibetan rat...

He came back to his senses and said: "You just fought against the Japanese country for the first time, so you should take more rest."

"I've been recuperating for a while." Chang Suining looked at him: "We have guests coming from afar, why don't we invite them to sit down and talk?"

Cui Jing suddenly realized, took a step sideways, raised her hand and said: "Sit down quickly."

There is a long case in front of him, and he sits behind the case. The place he shows is the side of the case. There is a brazier here, so you can sit nearby to keep warm.

Chang Sui Ning sat down cross-legged and was not at all polite to him.

Cui Jing also sat down, quickly poured tea for her, and then pushed the eight-percent-full teacup in front of her.

Lieutenant General Yu gasped inwardly as he saw this. He had never seen his Governor, who was high in the clouds, so attentive and considerate... Upon closer inspection, the Governor was even a little at a loss!

Lieutenant General Yu looked a little blankly, but he was afraid that he would get into trouble if he looked too much, so he hurriedly said: "I'll go ahead and ask someone to arrange a place for Governor Chang to live!"

With that said, he bowed and left, taking away the two guards who were in the tent but were watching with interest even though they didn't know the situation.

After leaving the tent, Lieutenant General Yu immediately opened his mouth with pride.

Who knew, when he went out, he actually brought Governor Chang here!

This incredible achievement was hit by him just like that!

This year has been so festive!

Listening to the faint sound of drums beating in the distance, Vice General Yu was so happy that he almost wanted to dance a Hu Xuan dance.

Seeing that there was no one else in the tent, Chang Suining thanked Cui Jing for the earlier formation drawings and for arranging the Huzhou Navy to support Runzhou.

Cui Jing said as usual: "No need to thank me, I didn't do anything. Even without me, you can still win."

"I can win because I am powerful enough." Chang Sui Ning raised his eyebrows slightly: "But if you help me, you are helping me."

Cui Jing agreed with the first half of her sentence, and a smile overflowed from his eyes: "Yes, it's great."

Chang Suining: "Don't say anything anymore about what you didn't do."

The two of them felt like they were talking about their own things, but at this moment, Cui Jing heard this and nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll take note of it."

Chang Suining also nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Cui Ling'an, after today, next year will be your zodiac year, right?"

Hearing the sound of "Cui Ling'an", Cui Jing's ears felt slightly warm for no reason: "Yes."

"It just so happens that I have something to give you."

Chang Suining had just finished speaking. Not long after, He Wuhu went out to see him. When he entered the tent, he carried a bulging large sack on his shoulder.

Cui Jing: "..."

According to his understanding of Chang Sui Ning, the "thing" she mentioned should not be a thing, but a person.

After He Wuhu saluted Cui Jing, he untied the sack and poured out the "stuff" inside.

Hong Chen looked like he was dying, and he could hardly open his eyes. His hands and feet were tied, and he looked around hard, but he could only see blurry figures.

He Wuhu pulled out the cloth gagged in his mouth, and he asked in a weak and unclear voice: "Where is this place..."

Chang Suining: "In the tent."

Hong Chen asked again with difficulty: "I'm asking... where am I at this moment...!"

Chang Suining: "On the ground."

"..." Hong Chen didn't know whether he was angry or too weak. His vision went dark and he fainted completely.

Cui Jing then asked: "Who is this person?"

Chang Suining: "Hong Chen, a subordinate of Kangding Mountain, was the one who took the lead in assassinating Wei Shilang and others. I think keeping him alive will be of some use."

Cui Jing nodded. Although the gift she gave was ingenious, it was actually useful.

Not long after, Doctor Cao was invited over.

As soon as he entered the tent, Doctor Cao saw Chang Sui Ning. He couldn't help but look surprised and raised his hands to salute.

Doctor Cao was overjoyed, but also regretted that the governor, who didn't know how to make good use of his face after a long separation, didn't even have time to shave!

Doctor Cao wished he could take a doctor's knife and shave his head clean on the spot.

But what needed him more at the moment was obviously the one lying on the ground.

Doctor Cao looked at Hong Chen's injuries and said concisely and concisely: "He can still be saved."

"Then take him down for treatment and keep him under strict supervision." Cui Jing said, "We'll talk about everything after he wakes up."

Two soldiers came in and carried the person out, and Doctor Cao, who was filled with regret, could only leave temporarily.

As soon as they left, someone else came into the tent. The person came with a big bowl in his hand and said, "Grand Governor, my subordinates have brought you a bowl of dumplings. The first one is hot!"

After the visitor finished speaking and saw the situation in the tent, he couldn't help but be startled: "?" Was the way he came in wrong? Why... would he see his sister in the metropolitan governor's tent?

Chang Sui'an, who was stunned in place, even blinked hard.

In his sight, the girl blinked along with him and asked him: "I haven't seen you for a year. Brother, you don't recognize me?"

Chang Sui'an reacted and was immediately ecstatic: "Ning Ning! It's really you!"

He walked over quickly, and the dumpling soup splashed out. He bent down and placed the big bowl on the counter in front of his sister: "Eat a bowl of hot dumplings quickly to warm yourself up!"

Not to mention that it was served to Governor Cui.

Faced with this rapid decline in status, Cui Jing accepted it well and asked someone to bring warm water to Chang Sui Ning to cleanse his hands.

Chang Sui Ning was disrespectful and grabbed Cui Jing's first bowl of dumplings. After washing his hands, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Soon, Yuan Xiang and others also brought dumplings in, and everyone had a share.

Only Chang Sui'an, who was too surprised, couldn't bear to eat. Chang Sui Ning sat cross-legged and ate dumplings. He kept chattering to the side: "Ning Ning, why did you suddenly come to Youzhou?"

Chang Suining took a swallow and said, "I thought we were not far apart and I had nothing to do, so I came here whenever I wanted."

Chang Sui'an couldn't help but feel hot in her eyes after hearing this, so Ning Ning came here specially to reunite with him and celebrate the New Year with him!

When Chang Sui Ning put down his chopsticks, Chang Sui An's mouth didn't stop.

He asked about A Dian from his father, and Huang Shuiyang from Jiangdu.

Chang Sui Ning did not tire of taking the trouble and answered seriously - it was the Chinese New Year, and it was a great blessing to be able to sit with her family this night, which was very precious to her.

In the middle of the night, the camp became more and more lively. At Chang Sui'an's suggestion, Chang Sui Ning and Cui Jing also left the tent and went outside to join in the fun.

As usual, there were soldiers patrolling in the camp, and the rest of the people were celebrating the New Year. Cui Jing followed the custom of Chang Sui Ning in governing the army. He was strict when he should be strict, and he should be obedient to people's hearts when he should be celebrating.

The bonfires were bright all around, giving the snow in the distance a warm color.

Lieutenant General Yu got his wish and danced Hu dance with his colleagues.

The beat of the drums was distinct, the Hu Xuan dance was galloping and cheerful, and the soldiers surrounding them clapped their hands and cheered rhythmically.

He Wuhu didn't know how to dance to music, so he refused the request to dance together and turned around to fight with others - he was still good at wrestling!

He was a good hand at cornering and had great strength. He defeated three Xuance soldiers in a row. Qihu and others were standing next to him, shaking their fists and applauding.

Someone in the Xuance Army couldn't stand the arrogance of this outsider. They vowed to clear up the name of the Xuance Army. They took off their armor and robes and stepped forward: "It's the New Year, I have to earn back my face!"

A colleague grabbed him: "Do you know who he is!"

The man looked unruly: "I don't care who he is, the King of Heaven is here, and today I will only talk about the rules of the horns and the field!"

"He is a subordinate of Governor Chang!" said the comrade: "Chief Chang is here in our army...Vice General Yu specifically told you not to make it public! I am afraid that you will do something wrong, so I am giving you a warning!"

The man was startled: "...the Chang Governor? The Chang Governor of Jiangdu?!"

After he came on the field, he was defeated by He Wuhu not long after.

On this night, He Wuhu's victory was astonishing, and he felt a little elated.

As Jiaozi approaches, it is customary to light firecrackers to drive away the beasts of the year and bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

A Xuance military general in his forties or fifties took a short bamboo pole tied with a peace knot and a string of firecrackers hung on it. He handed the bamboo pole to Chang Sui Ning and said with a smile: "March and fight. It’s good luck! I’ve heard for a long time that the young general Chang Jishi fought a rare victory on the Yellow River. Today, it’s better to let Chang Jishi burn the firecrackers to bring good luck to our army!”

Chang Suining looked at the general's face that still had traces of the past, smiled at him and nodded: "Okay."

She reached out and took the short bamboo pole.

The moment he met the girl's smiling eyes, the general was stunned for a moment.

Cui Jing took the torch and personally lit the firecrackers set off by Chang Suining.

The sound of "crackling" suddenly erupted. Yuanxiang laughed and covered his ears, while some soldiers cheered: "New Year!"

“Celebrate the New Year and win the battle!”

"Victory soon!"

Firecrackers burst into flames, Chang Suining picked up the bamboo pole in his hand and swung it left and right, with a smile in his eyes.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

When the firecrackers in Chang Suining's hands were burned out, more firecrackers sounded everywhere.

While the soldiers were cheering, someone laughed and started chasing each other. As Chang Sui Ning ducked, an arm was raised above her head, and a virtual ring was placed behind her head to block the flow of people for her.

The music of Hu Xuan Dance has not stopped, the sound of firecrackers, fire smoke fill the air, and it is noisy.

Chang Sui Ning raised his head slightly and looked at the young man in front of him.

His slightly drooped eyes seemed to be reflecting starlight, and his arms were so connected that they seemed to encircle a world that only two people could reach.

He suddenly asked with great seriousness: "Has Your Highness ever listened to "Cen Junge"?"

He went on by himself and said: "There is a word cloud - I am happy with my life, and I am alone."

He was extremely lucky and happy to be born in this world with her.

Chang Suining's eyes overflowed with a smile, and he said like a New Year's prayer: "Well, the mountains are long and the moon is far away, and we will go to the Ming Dynasty together."

This is not a year of peace, but he and she are both on the road to pursuing peace. They are destined to walk together, even if they split mountains and seas, they must go forward together.

Firecrackers splashed with sparks, rising with the wind, turning into stars all over the sky, looking down at the new year in the world.

(Ning Ning and Xiao Cui are in another time and space, celebrating New Year’s Eve with everyone. Happy New Year’s Eve!)
