Slowly, she took a silver piece and stirred it gently from time to time. From time to time, she would add some petals.

As the fragrance gushed into his nose, Yue Pengju took a deep breath. "Haha, it smells so good …"

She smiled sweetly and continued to prepare some dishes and wine. A plate of broad beans, a stack of smoked bamboo shoots, and a stack of dried beans. After that, there were the underlings of the fat pigs and fat cattle that were slaughtered in the New Year army camp. Hua Rong took a slice of the two small plates of stewed pork meat from the kitchen and personally cooked a pig's foot on the stove.

Yue Pengju helped his assistant, all these years in the army, he had never done such a thing. At this moment, he felt a sense of novelty, as though this kind of thing had an endless amount of fun.

Finally, the dishes were served. The wine was boiling hot as well and poured into a set of earthen bowls, each filled to the brim.

Hua Rong held the bowl in her hands as her heart felt boiling hot. Yue Pengju held the bowl in his hands as well.

The two of them sat facing each other, looking at each other, filled with joy. This was also the first time the two of them celebrated together. The chaotic times were different. Humans were not as good as dogs; they had not been together for a long time. To be able to have this day was not easy.

Hua Rong couldn't help but cry after drinking a mouthful of wine.

Yue Pengju put down his wine bowl, sat by her side and gently embraced her shoulders: "Sister Shi Qi, what's wrong?" After saying this, he felt that it was funny. He felt that "Big Sister Shi Qi" sounded so weird, but still called her "Big Sister" according to his old habit. "What's wrong, Sister?"

He reached out his hand to wipe away her tears, but at this time, she smiled, she was so happy, "Pengju, I'm really happy. In all these years, no one has accompanied me on New Year's Day before."

"We are husband and wife now, so naturally, I will accompany you every year in the future."

"Yes."

It was almost dusk by the time they finished their New Year's meal. Both of them were drunk and had peach blossoms on their faces.

Yue Pengju chuckled as he stood up and pulled her hand: "Let's go take a walk in the garden."

"Okay."

When he walked out of the door, the cold wind blew on his face. Yue Pengju hurriedly untied the Big Kew on his body and embraced her in his arms. The garden after the snow, because its owner had been on the run for a long time, did not have the slightest bit of repair, the plants were in a mess, the holly tops were covered with snow, some yellow weeds were lying on the ground, and when the winter boots stepped on, there was a strange slight creaking sound.

The first two rows of Jade Magnolia Trees were filled with white flowers. Although the sky was covered with snow, the difference between the flowers and the snow was so huge that no one would be able to differentiate between them.

There were huge trees in front of him and behind him. There were a few homemade red lanterns hanging from them. In the middle of the wasteland, there was a warm and joyous atmosphere.

The two of them walked forward drunkenly while nestling against each other. The snow was so thick in front that the boots were sunk in.

Hua Rong was small, with her boots stepping on top of her, she almost sunk into a small part of her body. Yue Pengju quickly pulled her back, causing the two of them to laugh out loud.

She happily leaned on his back and hugged his neck. Yue Pengju stood up, but at this time, he looked around and felt his vision widen.

Unfortunately, it was already dusk. It was unknown if it was just a blur or if it was just a blur, but she suddenly discovered that on the road ahead, a tall figure wearing a thick fur coat was walking forward step by step.

It was a path to the outside world, a path to leave this place.

He walked slowly as if he was holding a huge jug of wine. As he walked, he drank from it. His steps were also a bit unsteady, as if he was about to get drunk.

Such a familiar figure was imprinted in his heart, a figure that he would never forget. It was a nightmare of his girlhood, and also the deepest gratitude of his life. His evilness, his goodness, was like an eternal mark on his heart. Every time he thought of it, he didn't know whether it was happiness, sadness, resentment, or hatred …

King Qin!

It's the King Qin!

She almost cried out.

She sat on Yue Pengju's back and couldn't help but straighten his body. However, that big figure had disappeared. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. When she looked again, she couldn't see anyone.

At this moment, the night had already enveloped the land, shrouding this snow-covered world. Looking from afar, the surroundings were blurry, and there were no signs of human silhouettes.

She thought silently, the King Qin has already returned to the island, they have not chased us all the way, how could it be him?

It couldn't be his!

It definitely couldn't be him!

He should be on the island at such a time, with women in his arms, drinking big bowls of wine and eating meat and living happily as a pirate.

How could it be him?

How could it be him walking alone in the snow so far away?

It couldn't be him!

It was definitely not him!

Grief, fear, heartbreak and sorrow. After all, he was someone who had shared life and death with him, and he was a man who had treated him so well. He felt incredibly depressed and just wanted to not let him be.

As if her tears were about to fall, she stretched out the back of her hand and rubbed them hard. She rubbed her eyes until they were extremely bitter, forcefully forcing the tear back.

"Pengju, let's go back."

"Alright, it's cold outside. Let's go back and rest early."

Yue Pengju did not know that her "delusion" was this, he was extremely drunk, happily carried her on his back as he walked back, after a few more turns, he would "return home" and return to their new home.

The room had long since been cleaned up and there were a few branches of Snow White Orchids cut down by Yue Pengju from the garden outside the window on the Desk s. The faint red and purple dots on the flower petals looked exceptionally beautiful.

A candle was lit, and a bouquet of sweet fragrance wafted through the room.

A piece of paper was placed on top of the Desk. Yue Pengju raised the brush and started drawing on it. He drew a few strokes and looked up at her from time to time.

Every time he looked at it, he couldn't help but smile.

Hua Rong watched him draw a rough outline after a long time, but only had eyes. She clicked her tongue. "Pengju, that's good enough."

"No, I have to finish it this time. It must be very beautiful."

As she spoke, she no longer stopped him and continued to grind the ink on the side and build the hot tea for him. At this time, Yue Pengju's expression was the same as a man at home, he was no longer as solemn and respectful as before.

The atmosphere of the peace talks between Song Jin and Han was getting increasingly thick. This also gave a stabilizer to the little imperial government who had just gotten off his feet after a long journey. The Hangzhou City Palace had an extremely lively New Year.

On this day, the palace invited the envoys of the Jinguo. After eating his fill, the auricula flapped his chest and said to the Kanggong with a drowsy look, "Zhaojiaji, I can't forget about the return of Wei Xian Fei. How hard is it to make the return of the Consort Xian? As long as Song Kingdom sends envoys to negotiate … "

After chatting and laughing for a while, the auricula left.

Zhao Deji sat in his study, facing the warm stove, holding a brush. Humans were not like plants and vegetation. At this moment, he thought of his mother and wondered what kind of inhuman torture she was going through in a foreign country.

Kanggong bowed. "old slave has repeatedly tried to sound out Golden Man's tone. They were willing to let the empress dowager have her back …"

The only person Zhao Deji wanted to see was his birth mother. The result of their discussion with the Jinguo was that they had to treat him with high standards. Currently, they had already sent out a peace mission headed by the Vice Prime Minister, who would set off after the Spring Lantern Festival.

However, he was still worried, especially the "Spring Palace Map" that Jin Wushu had mentioned before. He was afraid that Golden Man would make a big fuss during this trip. How to make the Empress Dowager return in full without being questioned by the subjects of the world about her innocence and integrity was a headache.

And since he was in contact with the Empress Dowager, it would be better to have a woman among the members of the envoy. Thus, the person who was going must be a woman who was capable, capable, good at keeping secrets, and whom he completely trusted. But, outside the palace, where could he find such a woman capable of taking on such a great responsibility?

Kanggong whispered, "Shangguan Family, there is one candidate in old slave …"

"Who?"

"Hua Rong!"

Zhao Deji muttered to himself for a while, it was not as if he had never thought about this problem, but he had just returned from the ocean and experienced a boundless escape, so his body was not too well.

The Kanggong saw that he did not say a word, and said softly: "Shangguan Family, Hua Rong is smart and meticulous, moreover she is loyal to the Shangguan Family, and she knows the female language, if she were to go, it would be perfect …"

Zhao Deji's character and style of handling things, Zhao Deji naturally definitely trusted his. However, he was still very hesitant: "She is just a woman, so it's not convenient for her, and I don't know if she's willing to part ways with Yue Pengju …"

"Shangguan Family is overthinking, Hua Rong is smart and alert, furthermore, this time it is the Vice Prime Minister leading the group, the quality of the peace is very high, she won't be in any danger. "Besides, the empress dowager …"

He did not continue. Zhao Deji knew in his heart that the life of the empress dowager in Jinguo must not be easy. If those ugly things were to be spread around, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"Alright, I'll think about it."

Night came.

The former Hangzhou, the present Lin An.

The Golden Army descended from the south, but stopped. Since it had not reached Hangzhou yet, it was able to preserve the golden powder land of the south.

After the north retreat of Golden Army, there was a very dense atmosphere for the peace talks. Furthermore, just after the new year, everyone was busy preparing for the Spring Festival, streets and alleys, all sorts of lights were being lit. Even the air was no longer cold, and the smell of the festival's wine and food filled the air.

In a room at a brothel, the old procuress welcomed them from afar with enthusiasm, "Masters, please come in, we have a real Lian City's best girl here …"

Suddenly, she realized that she had not reached the tall man's chest yet. The strong sense of oppression made her involuntarily take a step back.

"Get all of the second floor for your father …"

"Oh? Great sir, do you need so many girls?"

The old procuress carefully tried to curry favor with him. She looked at the eight muscular men around him and guessed, "Why do they want to rent a floor like this?"

"I don't want a woman, come to sleep."

"If you don't want a woman, then go to the inn …"

"Damn it, do you want to die …"

A follower slapped out a few gold ingots. At this time, Song Jin was at peace. After the citizens had gone through various raids, very few gold and silver were left in his hands, and when the old procuress saw the few jades of yellow gold, her eyes immediately turned green. She hurriedly said, "Welcome, welcome, quick, girls, come out and serve …" "Good wine and good dishes, serve up …"

A group of well-dressed women turned around like the wind and walked out. "Uncle …"

"Great sir, quickly come in …"

"Great sir, what tune would you like to hear …"

"…"

In his charming voice, King Qin stomped up the stairs and entered a room on the second floor. Behind him was a crowd of cheers from the pirates who had been travelling for a long time and needed to completely relax. Thus, coming to a brothel was naturally the best place for a man to have fun.

The two prostitutes saw that he was going upstairs alone, so they said tenderly, "Wait a moment, that grandpa …"

One of the pirates shushed her, "Be careful of your life, don't meddle in others' business …"

The prostitute twisted her waist and spat.

The door closed, shutting off the bustling activity downstairs as people laughed and talked merrily.

There was a table of dishes on the table. It was cold all around and hot all over. A jug of wine was placed on top of it.

As the alcohol entered his stomach, it felt extremely painful, as if his limbs and bones were all in extreme pain.

"Damn, why is the wine so sour?"

He ruthlessly threw the wine pot on the ground and took another bite of the dish. However, the dish was also bitter. Everything was bitter.

With a wave of his hand, he ruthlessly swept down all the food and wine on the table.

The two Attendant s that were waiting outside heard the potential customer getting angry, but they didn't dare to make any noise. They only stood at the door, and didn't dare to knock on the door to clean.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from the door, and the old procuress personally brought a man up. The man's face was fat and white, there was no moustache on his lips, and beside him were two servants dressed in green. The old procuress knew his identity, and she was extremely respectful.

The moment the old procuress saw Attendant, she immediately said: "Where's Uncle Qin? Why didn't you serve Uncle Qin properly? "

The two of them did not dare to make a sound, and could only point their mouths inwards.

The old procuress shouted in a low voice, "Useless thing, scram!"

The two Attendant s retreated to the side. The old procuress knocked on the door and said in a flirtatious voice, "Great sir, a guest has come to visit …"

"Come in."

The door opened, and Kanggong entered. Seeing the mess on the floor, he exclaimed, "King Qin …." Seeing that King Qin's face was still filled with anger, he immediately waved his hand and two Attendant s walked forward to clean up the mess on the ground.

The old procuress tried to curry favor with him, "Do you want more wine and food?"

"No need. If I don't call you, you're not allowed to come in again."

"Yes."

The old procuress led the crowd out, and only the Kanggong's two attendants stood guard at the door.
