The road to Jiangyu is not too short, but it is rare and smooth. With Bai Xiuchuan clearing the way, the carriage did not encounter obstacles at all, and the passengers no longer had to worry about it, hide and hide, and even had the time to look around and appreciate the surrounding scenery .

Winter is coming, spring is not coming, there is not much scenery in the mountains and rivers, Jiangyu City is located in the southwest of Liangzhou, very far away from the Central Plains, surrounded by mountains and sparse plains, not suitable for fishing and farming, so it has been barren and desolate since ancient times. The so-called Bashanshushui is desolate.

The ancients who left this assertion must have never imagined that one day, the residents here will live better than the people in the Central Plains.

Rao is a lofty mountain, but it did not stop the pace of business travelers.

Rao is barren hills and barren soil, and it has not taken away the enthusiasm of farmers.

The villages and towns that the horse-drawn carriage passed were all orderly, the officers and soldiers were harmonious, the people lived in peace, and there were few refugees and beggars.In today’s Yu Kingdom, this is really a rare grand scene.

All this is due to Lord Baihou.

Nine years ago, because of his strong opposition to the ban on martial arts, Lord Bai Hou was demoted to Jiangyu to guard the border. After taking over a stall with no oil and water, everyone in the court thought that the Bai family’s energy was exhausted, and without the promotion of the prince, the future No matter how hard it is to turn over.

In the next nine years, the Bai family did not leave Jiangyu, but during these nine years, Yu State banned military forces and increased troops, the court imposed heavy taxes, officers and soldiers everywhere oppressed the people, and the people everywhere lived in dire straits. Under the jurisdiction, everything is stable and orderly.

The terrain of Jiangyu is not suitable for farming, but there are rich mineral deposits buried between the mountains, which are inexhaustible, especially the colored stones used for refining glaze are more than other regions.Lord Baihou keenly discovered this, so he set up official kilns around Jiangyu to make colored glaze, and handed it over to merchants to sell to various parts of China. Not only can he make money, but he can also use it to compensate part of the grain tax and corvee.

These colorful colored glazes are the key to comforting the people in Jiangyu City.Master Bai Hou worked hard day and night to govern Jiangyu, almost sacrificing his own health in exchange for today’s results.

Before the dawn of spring, the terraced fields in the mountains and fields were still covered with a layer of fine snow and could not be cultivated, but the official kilns everywhere had started construction, which was a lively scene.

Di Dongqing looked at the fire slowly rising in the mountain furnace, recalled the desolate and deserted porcelain kilns in Wutong Town, and couldn’t help sighing from the bottom of his heart.

While sighing and regretting, his admiration for Lord Bohou spontaneously arose.

Since the road was unimpeded, the carriage did not delay for too long, and after a few days, the city walls of Jiangyu could be seen.

Di Dongqing and her master hid everywhere. Since they left Anyi, they haven’t been to the real city for nine years. They have seen the real downtown. Now they see the flags flying on the towering green brick wall, and they can’t help but feel excited and look into the distance.

As soon as he saw the outline of the city gate, he saw a group of people rushing towards him.

Bai Xiuchuan showed joy and said, “The person here is brother.”

Si Yutong raised her eyebrows and looked at him, “You mean Yunfeng?”

Bai Xiuchuan nodded heavily and said: “I called someone at the post station to inform him earlier, he must have come out of the city to pick him up.”

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and Di Dongqing saw the person in the middle of the team. His face was somewhat similar to Bai Xiuchuan’s, and he probably was his brother.

Although they are brothers, the looks of the two are completely different. The visitor is riding on horseback, wearing a bright red general robe, tall and straight, with a wider forehead than ordinary people, piercing eyes, and two sword eyebrows flying obliquely into the temples. The mail armor on his body made a clear sound in the bumps, and it looked like he had just returned from training in the school grounds.

Si Yutong was even more surprised, and asked, “So you have reached the age to lead the army.”

Bai Xiuchuan immediately shook his head and said: “The leader of the army is my brother. My father has been in poor health for the past two years, so my brother took the initiative to share his worries. As for me… I still can’t memorize all the military books, and I’m not even qualified to be his deputy general.” The more he talked, the redder his face became, and he simply avoided Si Yutong’s sight, and said in a low voice, “I made the prince laugh.”

Si Yutong reined in his horse and retreated to his side, patted his shoulder, but kept looking at the person who came across.

Bai Yunfeng.

This man was once her father’s chosen playmate and her grandfather’s appointed husband. If that accident hadn’t happened, at this moment, she would have already married this man and shared a family relationship.

The day of her engagement happened to be her twelfth birthday. On that day, she was canonized as the princess, and amidst the applause of all the people, she exchanged swords and crowns with her future husband.

The scenes she had personally experienced at that time came to her mind, like fishing for the moon in the water, looking at the flowers in the mirror, far away and strange, completely unreal.

At that time, the person accompanying her had also turned into a stranger, stopped in front of her, got off the saddle, bowed and said, “Your Highness.”

This call made her wake up from a dream, and she recalled her mission again.

Si Yutong is dead, and at this moment she is reviving in the identity of her elder brother.

So she also got off her horse and went forward, saying: “It’s been many years since Xiu Chuan insisted on calling me the prince, that’s all. Even you are so born, I’m going to be sad.”

Bai Yunfeng raised his head, took another step forward, fixed his eyes on her, and tears seemed to flow from his eyes: “Brother, you…you are really still alive.”

Si Yutong nodded and said, “You don’t have to come here, too.”

Bai Yunfeng took a deep breath, he seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn’t know where to start.So Si Yutong simply turned to the people around him and said, “Xiuchuan, you are finally back.”

Bai Xiuchuan didn’t dare to look him in the eyes, lowered his head, and called timidly, “Brother.”

Bai Yunfeng frowned and said, “You ran out without making a sound. You’ve been away for half a month, aren’t you afraid that your parents will worry?”

Bai Xiuchuan buried his head even lower: “I, I’m going to inquire about Master.”

Bai Yunfeng asked: “Did you find it?”

Bai Xiuchuan nodded first, then shook his head.

Bai Yunfeng sighed: “Oh, you really made up your own mind.”

Bai Xiuchuan said: “If you are punished, I, I will bear it myself.”

Bai Yunfeng said: “What’s the burden? If your parents ask later, don’t say that you sneaked out by yourself, but that I sent you to investigate the people’s situation.”

Bai Xiuchuan was taken aback for a moment: “But you…”

Bai Yunfeng raised the corner of his mouth and said, “They won’t make things difficult for me.”

Bai Xiuchuan showed joy: “Thank you brother.”

Bai Yunfeng put his fist on his shoulder and poked him: “Thank you, I’m not going to be an example.” Then he turned to Di Dongqing and Lu Zhengqiu, and said apologetically, “Both of you are also friends in the same business, thank you for taking care of me, an idiot. younger brother.”

The two haven’t revealed their identities yet, so Bai Yunfeng naturally can’t recognize them, he only thinks they are ordinary people from the world.

Si Yutong went along with the flow, stepped forward to introduce her, everyone greeted each other, and Bai Yunfeng’s eyes returned to Si Yutong, looking at her non-stop, hesitating to speak.

Si Yutong took the lead and said, “I know you have a mountain of things to say, if you stand here and talk, you might not be able to finish it in three days.”

Bai Yunfeng was stunned, nodded and said: “What you said is that there will be many three days and three nights in the future, we can talk slowly, everyone, follow me to the mansion to rest first.”

He ordered the soldiers in his entourage to drive the horses for everyone, and the group turned around and headed towards the city gate facing the bright sun.

Bai Yunfeng walked beside Si Yutong and asked, “Brother, there is one thing I must ask now, Yutong…”

When Si Yutong heard her name, she was taken aback for a moment, then closed her eyes, sighed softly, and shook her head slightly.

Bai Yunfeng’s eyes dropped, his eyelashes and lips trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice, “I understand.”

Si Yutong turned her head to see the undisguised sadness in his expression, and couldn’t help but feel a surge in her heart, as if seeing a real color through a vast mirror.
