Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 144
After thinking for a long time, Ji Mingde finally strengthened his determination, success or failure depends on one move!
He used to work in Zhan's affairs, so he is the most familiar with the prince. This is the son of the empress, who has taken advantage of the benefits of the heir, but he is very mediocre. A fool who walks with his tail will not do anything big.

But the King of Lingnan is different. He is ambitious and courageous, and he is also secretly planning for thousands of miles. I believe that there will always be a day when he will shine brightly!
There are many Gobi deserts in the northwest, with endless yellow sand that can't be seen at a glance. It is dry all year round, there is not much rain, and only inch-long withered yellow weeds are pulled out from the ground, and there are waves of small hills rolling up and down.

Pei Yan was silent in his heart. He had been squatting like this for several days. His whole body was immersed in the sandpit, with the pile of weeds on his head, and he only kept a pair of eyes to watch closely the movement outside.

"A Yan, if we don't meet anyone again today, let's go back and rest. General Luo values ​​you and won't do anything to us!"

The haystack on the side moved, revealing a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, shining brightly, only one face was covered with yellow sand, and the appearance could not be seen clearly.

Pei Yan turned his head and glanced at him, but remained silent without answering.

"A Yan, you were not so temperamental in the past, when we were young, we still..."

Dongfang Tou suddenly stopped talking as he was talking, and looked at Pei Yan nervously as if remembering something, and was relieved to see that his face was still expressionless.

He remembered that Pei Yan was not like this in the past, if he was mischievous, no one in the capital could compare to this kid, but now he looks like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, which makes people feel very boring.

Of course, this is also related to the changes in the Pei family.

"Atou, this time you came out with me to complete the mission. If the mission cannot be completed, I will not be merciful if I am dealt with by military law."

Pei Yan finally spoke, but his voice was indifferent and his eyes were cold, which made people feel cold.

The Dongfang Tou family and the Pei family are family friends, Master Dongfang is now in charge of the military department doctor, so he sent his son to the front line to practice, let him start from a small soldier, and sharpen his temper as a son of a family, but he did not expect to be divided It was only under Pei Yan that he received this mission.

"understood."

Dongfang Tou immediately shrugged his shoulders like a deflated ball, pursed his mouth, and looked sullen.

Pei Yan turned his head and glanced at him, an unknown light flashed in his eyes, and then he said in a deep voice: "My current situation is no better than yours, this opportunity is something I have worked so hard to get, you should know how to treat me How important!"

"Yes, I understand."

Dongfang Tou was stunned, then looked at Pei Yan's serious eyes, and immediately nodded solemnly.

Pei Yan's father was dismissed from office, and the only thing the Pei family can count on now is Pei Yan, but if they take the road of imperial examinations, there will be no one to point them out. Yes, Pei Yan regards this as the only future, why doesn't he know?
If they successfully complete the task this time, General Luo promises to promote Pei Yan from a hundred households to a thousand households, and even himself can be a leader of the general banner. Yes, thinking of this, Dongfang Tou cheered up again.

"My lord, there is movement ahead."

Not far away, the scout soldiers rushed over, rolled up a puff of fine smoke, and waited in front of Pei Yan, and then respectfully replied: "There are hundreds of riders listening to that movement, it should be the person we are waiting for. .”

Regardless of Pei Yan's young age, everyone in the team admires him. His kung fu is first-rate, he is brave and resourceful, and he is rewarded and punished clearly. This makes all the soldiers below him full of motivation. As long as Pei Yan can advance step by step, Aren't they also rising like a tide, and it's their blessing to follow this leader.

"it is good!"

Pei Yan clenched his fists, his eyes glowed with excitement, and even Dongfang Tou, who was at the side, felt his blood boil.

Although the King of Yan issued an imperial decree to recruit the barbarians in the northwest, these people catered to them on the surface, but they were full of bad things behind their backs. It was not good that several caravans were hijacked on the road, not to mention that there were no goods left, and even human lives were lost. Not one was left behind, and that cruel act was heinous.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court is unwilling to confront these barbarians head-on, but the King of Yan cannot tolerate this kind of evil again and again, so this group of guerrilla teams led by Pei Yan came into being.

After wandering on the Gobi desert for several months, the scattered savages managed to clean up a few, but they never met their large troops. Pei Yan had been looking forward to such a hearty battle for a long time.

Looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance and the horns hanging from the swaying flagpole of the first rider, a determined smile appeared on Pei Yan's lips, and he clenched his fists heavily. He will definitely win this battle!

And Ji Chonglian, who is far away in Danyang, is celebrating her 13th birthday.

After eating longevity noodles in the morning, Ji Haitang came to call her. Today the two sisters made an appointment to go to the Longevity Pagoda to pray, but Ji Youlan still didn't like to leave the house, so Aunt Zeng only asked Ji Chonglian to pray for her.

This Wanshou Pagoda was built in Baota Bay, Danyang. It was originally called Wanshan Pagoda. It was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Wooden beams are erected, floor slabs are laid on top, and wooden escalators go up and down on each floor. There are one door on each side of the square room inside the tower, and one door on each side of the outer eight sides. The dew plate and phase wheel are topped by a treasure cover, and then a copper vase, on which is cast "Wanshan Pagoda, Danyang County, Zhenjiang Prefecture, Zhili".

The Wanshou Pagoda was built in Dingta Bay, facing the water on all sides, like a solitary pagoda in the water, standing tall and straight to the sky.

To enter the Longevity Pagoda, one would just pass by in a boat, watching the waves on the lake, Ji Chonglian felt in a good mood for no reason.

Most of the women in the boudoir in ancient times did not go outside the door, and they rarely had the opportunity to go out. The rare one is naturally cherished.

Bi Yuan who was on the side was also as happy as something, and Mother Liu couldn't help but glared at her, and pulled her sleeves to let her sit down.

Ji Haitang's maid, Chuncao, is well-behaved, even though she is happy in her heart, but seeing her master sitting upright, she doesn't dare to be presumptuous.

"This tower is really tall!"

I didn't feel it from a distance, until I stood in front of the Longevity Pagoda, I felt a thick and distant breath rushing towards my face, Ji Chonglian couldn't help but took a deep breath.

"It's my first time here too, and it's really different from other places."

Ji Haitang's apricot eyes were shining brightly, and her pink cheeks carried a bit of girlish tenderness, just like a blooming flower, with a youthful breath rushing towards her face.
