The north wind blows the white grass and turns the ground, and snow falls in August.

The winter in the north came earlier, and the army headed south, but instead ran through the season. After entering the Bazhou territory, it was obvious that the weather was warming up slightly.

In September, the cold winter in the south has not yet arrived, and the cooling is still lukewarm. Most of the few who can detect the changes are early vendors.

Quietness, peace and prosperity, it can be said that living in China (the country of the Central Plains) in the twelfth century is happy.

At the same time, other famous big cities in the world, such as London, had less than 50,000 people, and most of them struggled in hunger and cold.

The Kaiyuan period was the first time in the same period, which was already a large city with a population of one million, covering an area of ​​equivalent to a Xicheng District in Beijing in later generations.

There is no war everywhere, prosperity, no curfew, loose trade management, loose laws, and very few prisoners executed every year.

There is no second place like this prosperous place on the entire earth, which is simply a lighthouse of civilization.

But this kind of happiness is also dangerous.

Around the surroundings, the son emperor sold the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and had no danger to defend in the north. The second-hand capital position led to the enemy being able to go around all the city and fortresses and killing the capital city. Although the capital was based on the natural danger of the river, it was now in the Little Ice Age. Every winter, the queen would freeze, and the freezing was very solid, so she could run around at will...

Fortunately, Li Xingzhou has solved some of the dangers, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the north have been recovered, and even more solid Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, Juyongguan, Datong Prefecture and other places have been found.

But there are not many dangers left yet...

......

Li Xingzhou sat in the tent of the central army headquarters. The area inside was large and it was no problem to accommodate dozens of people. When he came, he despised his movements slow and inconvenient to mobility, and he mostly rode a horse.

In fact, riding a horse is very tiring, a bit like riding a tractor on a bumpy road in the countryside in later generations. The bumps are fine for a short time, but most people can't bear it over time.

Older people can't stand it at all, and the march with the moon can even drag down many people's bodies.

Like the heroic ruler of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, Chai Rong, died young, which made countless people sigh. If he had not died early, the Liao Kingdom would not be so arrogant. Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures might have been taken back long ago. After all, he once defeated the Liao Kingdom in the north and conquered three passes and three prefectures in a row, and won consecutive victories in the battle against other countries.

Historians speculate that the big reason why his body could not withstand it was that he fought all year round, and he was in charge of the army in person every time. He was busy with boats and carriages all year round, and the bumpy horse back made his body unable to bear it.

The Central Army Headquarters is not only a synonym for the central command organization of the army, but also refers to the carriage. The carriage in the head coach is much larger than ordinary carriages. The interior is equivalent to a small house, and although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

If the emperor commands the army in person, it will be even more particular.

This is still limited to road issues, and if it is even more exaggerated on the grassland.

For example, during the expedition, Temujin had a golden tent that was directly a golden tent, and it required dozens of horses to pull it away. There was a reduced palace inside, and you could also enjoy it with your concubines and beautiful concubines.

When Li Xingzhou went north, he thought his central army was too bulky and troublesome, so he rode Meixue most of the time. He couldn't stand it and got off the horse and walked for a while. The soldiers were very fast. Facing a battle without any confidence, Li Xingzhou did not dare to take risks.

Now that I am reunited, I naturally don’t have to be as rushing as when I went north. It’s easier to be comfortable in his exclusive cabin than riding a horse. And there is also a beautiful woman like Pu Chaling. The so-called “stop and sit in the maple forest at night” is probably the whole thing.

Li Xingzhou glanced at the honest and peaceful woman beside her, but her eyes were unwilling. She smiled and hugged her slender waist: "Tell you a joke."

Pu Chaling did not dare to disobey and nodded obediently. In the past few days, Li Xingzhou had been asking the maids to teach her Chinese language. She had a foundation and learned very quickly.

"By the way, there are three old men over 100 years old who discuss the secrets of longevity..." Li Xingzhou spoke.

"After a hundred years old, that's not an old god." Pu Chaling interrupted.

"It's almost the same, then you just treat three old gods discussing why they live a long life." He smiled. Pu Chaling, who was originally a little resistant, also became interested. The bizarre legend of gods and ghosts has an indescribable attraction to people of this era.

"The first person said, I live to be one hundred years old because I always smile."

"The second person said, I live to be one hundred years old because I like to move far away."

Pu Chaling listened curiously, but looked forward, not looking at him.

Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, she finally spoke: "Where are the third ones?"

Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "The third person looked embarrassed and said in a low voice, I can live to be one hundred years old because my wife is ugly."

Pu Chaling didn't react at first, with a pretty face full of confusion. After she reacted, her snow-white neck turned pink in anger. She subconsciously beat him up, and then she reacted that she shouldn't have acted, and she was at a loss when she was at a loss.

Li Xingzhou didn't care. Sometimes he said some small jokes with colors in advance just to stir up the atmosphere. As he spoke, he had already taken Pu Chaling into his arms with a look.

"Oh, it seems that I will be about to die in this life." As he said that, he looked down through the gaps in his collar with malicious intentions.

Pu Chaling was helpless and embarrassed, and felt that he didn't know how to avoid it.

The more powerful the big man is, the more afraid of death. The more he is in a high position, the more he is afraid of saying that he will never die. However, he speaks without restraint and even says it as a joke, probably because he is fighting in the south and north, and has seen many things...

But soon, she couldn't think anymore and her mind was in a mess.

......

Afterwards, Li Xingzhou was pillowing Pu Chaling's smooth and white legs and suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette.

The war ahead has come to an end, and it is time to think about the rear.

Jingguo still has many problems that he needs to solve.

However, you can take a short break for a while and wait until after the New Year to consider it.

The question to consider now is how to appease the women in the family.

Li Xingzhou thought about it and felt that he would really lose his life in the future. Alas, who can understand this pain?

People say that when people reach middle age, they have to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup. Before he reaches middle age, he has begun to consider whether to put some wolfberry and ginseng and other things to prevent problems before they happen.

Qiuyue and Yue'er served him since childhood. The two little girls have always been centered on him. In their hearts, everything they do is right, and they don't care about outsiders or outside judgments.

So two cute little girls can rest assured.

Yelu Yali is a complete political marriage, so she should not have much opinion on this.

He Qian might complain to him directly, but no matter how much she complains, she always goes straightforward, and as long as she coaxes it, it will be over.

The most difficult ones are Shiyu and Ajiao.

Gillian looks gentle and well-educated. For the sake of him, she would rather be wronged than say it, so she would definitely not say it outright, but there will definitely be a small resentment.

The best way to have a small temper in his heart, but he is considerate of him and does not speak out. The best way is to prepare a small surprise, then open up the words and coax them well.

As for a talented woman like Gillian, what is a surprise? It is naturally a top-notch good poem. He has already started to search in his mind about which love poem can coax Gillian well.

Shiyu is a little arrogant. If you don’t say it, your face will definitely be bad and will show it directly. However, it is difficult to deal with such a girl, and it is simple and simple. As long as you understand that her arrogance is actually a concern for you, follow this idea and say more good things. Don’t feel numb, as long as you have thick skin, you can coax it well.

As for Qifang, she must be sarcastic and the most difficult thing to deal with... Oh, why do I think of Fang? She is not her own woman...

Li Xingzhou shook his head and drove those irrelevant thoughts out of his head. Kaiyuan is still far away.

When they returned, they were not as urgent as they came. The army marched slowly. People from all states along the way welcomed each other, and officials went out of the city to welcome the reward army. After this battle, no one dared to compete with Jingguo on the south side of the grassland.

Li Xingzhou's reputation has reached an unprecedented level, which can be seen from the enthusiastic attitudes of the people from all over the country.

He also felt Pu Chaling's subconscious alienation. Although she was always obedient due to threats, she would always feel a little uncomfortable when she wanted to get close to her at night, and would get up at night, which was obviously a resistance.

Li Xingzhou was so compassionate that he told her some ghost stories from the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio during the day.

Pu Chaling was innocent and didn't know the intention. In addition, he was very curious about these bizarre ghost stories and listened very seriously.

"In our Jingguo, there is a place called Yangxin County. There is a Caidian Village five or six miles outside the county town. There is an old man in the village. The father and son opened a shop on the side of the road to allow passers-by to stay.

Usually there are coachmen who transport things back and forth to make money, and often live in his house.

One evening, four people came to stay in the hotel, but the old man's store was already full.

The four of them thought there was no other place to go, so they insisted on asking to stay. The old man had no choice but to think of a place, but they were afraid that the guests would not be satisfied.

The guest said, "As long as you stay in a place with tiles, you will never dare to pick up any places."

It turned out that the old man’s daughter-in-law had just died shortly after she died, so she parked the body in the house. Her son went out to buy a coffin and had not come back yet. The old man thought that the house where the spirit bed was put on was very quiet and could allow them to stay for a night......"

Li Xingzhou was talking about a story called "Corpse Transformation" in the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Although he was a child, he was scared to death with only half of his knowledge. Moreover, he is now full of passion and speech in detail.

Pu Chaling was so angry that he didn't dare to pant, and was scared from time to time screaming.

But this is just the beginning, and the effect will only be reflected at night.

Sure enough, when the army camped outside Yizhou City that night, Pu Chaling, who had been making excuses for the past few days, pulled his sleeve pitifully and begged him to stay, but she did not dare to spend the night alone.

Li Xingzhou tsk his mouth and smirked and teased: "The uncle didn't want to do it at first, but I can't refuse if you ask for it so proactively. Who said I'm kind?

That's it, beg me and I'll stay."

Pu Chaling was embarrassed and angry, and his face turned red and bit his lips without saying a word.

Knowing that she couldn't give up her face, Li Xingzhou was not a bad person, so she took the opportunity to make the conditions: "It's okay to stay, you have to take the initiative and be on top."

.........

Life is so wonderful. Practicing Jin Guo can bring him a great sense of accomplishment, and the same is true for plotting young women.

Pu Chaling was deeply entangled. On the one hand, she was very curious about the novel stories Li Xingzhou told. On the other hand, she was so scared that she didn't dare to fall asleep alone after listening to it. She curled up in Li Xingzhou's broad chest and could only sleep peacefully when she was close to him.

It seems that she is in a dilemma again, but people will always give themselves a way out. In the end, she feels that it is not that she is not reserved and firm enough. It is because Li Xingzhou is too hateful and cunning, which makes her unconsciously unable to resist.

...........

As the army moved south, it became closer and closer to the prosperous areas of Jingguo. The villages, towns and cities outside the window were getting bigger and bigger and more grand.

Pu Chaling also looked out of the car window curiously. The prosperity of Jingguo was unexpected, which opened her eyes and made her blindingly live.

Pu Chaling rarely goes out along the way. Even if she stays overnight in the city, she tries to choose to live in the tent of the Central Army Headquarters. When she has to go out, she will try to wear a veil so that people can not recognize her.

Although Li Xingzhou was one of the most powerful people in the world at this time, she did not think that her experience was a glorious thing.

Li Xingzhou's image in her heart is becoming more and more perfect. Many of the previous imaginations are fake, such as five big and three thick, green face and fangs, and can eat children.
