In the side hall, the woman was huddling on a chair covered with blankets and gnawing on candied haws.

Standing by the table, Mu Chu, who was making dumplings, looked at her from time to time. Seeing that her little face that was still a little pale, had a happy smile on her, he sighed helplessly and said softly: "Wait a little longer and you will be able to eat soon."

"What is the dumpling made by Achu?" she asked biting the candied haws, blinking her clear eyes.

"There are fleshy and tidy." He raised his sleeve and wiped his face. If Qiqi could see things now, he would definitely be able to see his beautiful handsome face, which was now covered with flour shavings.

He is actually... not a master of cooking.

"I'll try the meat for you later to see if I can continue to eat it. If not, we will be vegetarian." He said, his eyes falling back to the wooden dumpling skin and carefully wrapped it up.

"Yes." Qiqi nodded vigorously, but his empty eyes were shining with a bright luster: "Hurry up, I'm so hungry."

"I know, I'm boiling water." She walked in the forest for more than half a day and did not eat at noon. She was naturally hungry at this time.

Actually, when I look back now, I don’t know how I was so cruel at that time. Even though I knew that she was in poor health, I still let her walk in the cold wind for a few hours.

When I think of her helplessness and panic at that time, my heart will still be hurt.

But he knew very well that if this girl didn't suffer any hardship, she would really not have a memory. In the future... she would still be wronged when she returned to Chu Xuanchi's side.

Someone looked at her and sighed, no matter whether he wanted to do so or not, he would always go back in the future.

After the water boiled, Mu Chu put some of the dumplings in it, and as the dumplings slowly cooked in the water, the fragrance slowly drifted away.

It’s New Year’s Eve, and the year is almost completely over here.

On this New Year's Eve, she was still next to him. Where will she... be? New Year's Eve, it should be a day for every family to reunite, but outside the gate of Beiliao City, thousands of troops were approaching the city.

Above the world, the silver armor shone with a scarlet luster under the moonlight. I don’t know how many souls this bloody body came from. The big sword in his hand was the Xuanyue sword that he had never used only in charge.

Blood still slipped down at the edge of the blade, and under the pale moonlight, there was a fearful cold light.

The Xuanyue Sword of the God of War in Chu has been sealed for several years. It was not until half a month ago that the sun was re-sealed. However, in the past half month, it has drunk countless blood from the enemy.

On the city tower, the general guarding the city looked at the man and horse below. He had not seen his true face carefully, but was already scared by his cold air so that his blood was constantly condensed.

Dongfang Ming came to Chu Xuanchi, just glanced at him, and continued to move forward. He came to the city gate first, staring at the general on the city tower with bright eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Prince Xuan is here, the surrenderers will treat each other with military salutes, and those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"

The sound was not heavy, but with mellow internal force, it suddenly penetrated into the eardrums of everyone in and outside the city.

Everyone's eyes on the city tower fell on Prince Xuan in an instant. His armor was covered with blood, and even his head armor was covered with blood. He had never stopped fighting along the way, and he didn't even have time to wipe away the blood.

For half a month, his army set out from the border town northwest of Chu. In just half a month, he had already flattened the five countries close to his territory.

Among the ten countries, the four countries have been destroyed. Wherever they go, those who fight to the death, kill and surrender seem to have no rumors of massacre of the city.

At the begging of the brothers below, the deputy general of the city quickly climbed up the city tower and came to the general. He whispered in a trembling voice: "General, brothers... brothers are willing to surrender. General, we are not as good as us..."

"Bastard!" The general shouted loudly. Although he was very panicked, he was even more panicked. This surrender would have to be a slave to the country.

What a humiliation, slave!

"General, there is news from Chilang that Prince Xuan's army has not hurt anyone after entering the city. Perhaps... Perhaps... Perhaps Prince Xuan has no intention of hurting the people of Northern Liao." Although the deputy general has always been afraid of the general, in comparison, he is even more afraid of the Prince Xuan, who is even more terrifying than the King of Hell.

Staring at the general Xiao Suo's face, he continued to persuade: "General, the Red Wolf King has swearing to resist to the death, and his head is still hanging high above the city tower..."

"You..." The general was so angry that his face turned red and pointed at him, because he was too angry and could not even speak.

That kind of thing threatens him!

However, the Red Wolf King is the most brave and good at fighting in this area. If it weren't for the Wolf King, it would have been occupied by someone.

Prince Xuan is simply terrifying. There are rumors that he had only been with Chilang for a day and actually... had killed the Wolf King! And this time he brought the army that swept across the ten countries, and less than half of his troops were still in his power!

Why did he insist on flattening the Ten Kingdoms? Even if they were asked to surrender, could they not use a more gentle way?

The general was extremely confused!

At the bottom, Dongfang Ming's low voice continued: "King Xuan has an order. If you don't open the city gate within a stick of incense, you will surrender immediately!"

The soldiers stationed in the city suddenly became a fuss. Now everyone is worried. Some people can't wait to open the city gate, like Prince Xuan bowing his head to surrender.

They were willing to belong to the State of Chu, so why did Prince Xuan use such a fierce way to force them to submit? But the other party was King Xuan, and no one dared to say a word.

On the city tower, as time passed by, the general's face had turned from black in the border town and turned pale.

Finally, after half a stick of incense, he asked softly: "Where is the King of Western Liao now?"

The deputy general's face turned up, and surprise flowed in his eyes. He hurriedly said, "Although the King of Western Liao has now withdrew from the throne, Xiliao has become the lord of a city, at least he is still the lord of Xiliao City!" After a while, the general hurried down from the city tower, led the soldiers to the city gate, and shouted in a deep voice: "Open the city gate!"

The city gate in the city was slowly opened, and the general led the soldiers out to greet him. The vast team came to the Silver Armor Xuan King in a neat step and knelt on the ground, shouting in unison: "The soldiers are willing to follow Xuan King until death!"

The shouts soared into the sky, and the night was completely broken by the shouting sounds.

That night, King Xuan's army entered the city, and Bei Liao became the sixth conquered small country after he led his army into the ten countries.

Even the Northern Liao Dynasty bowed down and surrendered to the surrender. I am afraid that no one dared to disobey the remaining four countries. In a short time, the plan to unify the ten countries will be successfully concluded.

It should have been a happy thing, but the man on the horse was always cold with a handsome face covered in blood, and there was no turbulence in his eyes.

The ten countries have recovered the six countries, and the remaining four countries can be calmed before the Lantern Festival.

Lantern Festival...

He looked up at the sky and didn't know that during the Lantern Festival, that girl... would she miss him? Yecheng in the north of Chu, which was the first city she entered among the three cities belonging to Qiqi. Here, she had conquered the hearts of all her brothers with her wit.

There is no cloud tonight. A simple white figure stands in the wind on the tower of Yecheng. The cold wind blows on him. There is no snow, but it gives people a feeling of white snow.

His clothes were as beautiful as snowflakes, and their clothes were fluttering, and they were indescribably elegant and charming.

However, the plain white clothes on his body were a little thinner.

Xiao Yu'er was holding a thick fox fur robe, which was as white as white and plain, and her solid hair was so clean that it was not stained with any dust.

This is the color the prince likes, just like his people, clear and pure, without any trace of fireworks on earth.

"Prince, it's very windy here, please put on your outer robe." Walking behind him, she didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing his peace, but seeing that his clothes were so thin, she was always a little worried.

The night was cold and the wind was cold. Although his body had recovered almost perfectly, it was true that he had been treated by a girl and a fairy doctor in the clinic before, but it was not long after he recovered from the old illness.

Chu Jiangnan did not respond, but just looked at the night sky quietly.

Tonight, the stars are twinkling, the crescent moon is hanging high, and the cloudless sky is densely covered with stars, and the indescribable blur is beautiful.

If that girl was there, she would definitely not blink and say something about "There is no pollution in this era, and even the stars are particularly beautiful." Unexplained words.

But at this moment, where is this girl? Mr. Mu is by her side, have she taken good care of her? Is she full? Is she wearing warm clothes? After so long, why haven’t she come back to find him?

He knew that she was wronged and knew that she must have resentment in her heart, but it would be fine if she didn't go back to the Fourth Emperor's side, why didn't he even want it?

The news of his return to Yecheng had already been ordered to be spread out. As long as she went out, she would definitely hear it. He waited here for more than half a month, but there has not been any news about her yet.

Not to mention that she didn't take the initiative to come here, even the people he sent out could not find out any news about her.

Yecheng, a place with simple folk customs, if she likes them, they can settle here in the future. When will this girl come here?

He looked down at the bloodline in the palm of his palm that was so obvious that it could not be ignored no matter how hard it was. His eyes became even heavier.

Her bloodline has almost completely recovered. She should have a good body, so why haven't she appeared yet?

What exactly is she doing on New Year's Eve tonight?

"Prince." Behind him, Xiao Yu'er called out softly again.

"I'm not cold." He finally replied, but his words were cold and there was no warmth in his voice.

"Prince, if the girl knew you were standing here in the cold wind, she would feel uncomfortable." Xiao Yu'er continued to persuade.

Girl... Hearing these two words, Chu Jiangnan's stiff back finally loosened slightly, and the person seemed not as cold as before.
