A few days later, Zhao Muyun returned to Shuozhou and summoned civil officials such as Fan Nan, Huang Chang, and Zhao Wen to discuss important matters.
The meeting lasted until late at night.
Everyone took their orders and left, feeling very satisfied.
Zhao Muyun did not rest immediately. He walked out of the government office and climbed up the city wall of Shuozhou. Li Si and other guards followed behind him.
"Hello, Governor!"
The soldiers guarding the city wall greeted Zhao Muyun with admiration in their eyes.
Zhao Muyun went from being a frontier soldier with no background to becoming today's Governor of the Northern Territory, Jiedushi of Hedong, and General Zhenbei, and has become a role model for ordinary soldiers like them.
Zhao Muyun quickly stepped forward to help the soldier adjust his armor and patted his shoulder: "Are you cold?"
"Report to the Governor, we will be changing guard in an hour and go to the tower to warm ourselves by the fire. It won't be cold!"
The centurion guarding the city also hurried over at this time. Seeing that it was Zhao Muyun, he also hurriedly saluted.
"No need to be so polite! You've worked hard!" Zhao Muyun said with a friendly look on his face.
"Commander, the wind is strong on the top of the city wall, please go to the tower!" said the centurion.
"Don't worry about me, I just want to take a walk on the city wall, you guys go about your business!" Zhao Muyun smiled and gave them a military salute in return.
After Zhao Muyun and his group walked away, the centurion and soldiers were still excited: The governor spoke to us and cared about us.
The night wind was chilly, blowing away the fatigue from days of fighting.
The mountains in the distance were undulating, looking like a giant beast lying in the dark night. That was the Black Camel Mountain that Zhao Muyun was very familiar with.
The cold moon is like a hook, the stars are bright, what a beautiful night sky in the north!
It has been a long time since Zhao Muyun looked at the night sky carefully.
He stared at the night sky, lost in thought.
The night sky is deep, and the meteors are streaking across it, so brilliant.
"My dear, it's a cold night with heavy dew. Please take care of yourself."
Suddenly a gentle and concerned voice sounded behind him.
Zhao Muyun turned around and saw Bai Ruolan wearing a plain cloak and holding a small lantern, standing prettily in the moonlight.
Behind her was her personal maid Chun Xiang, holding a black fox fur coat in her hand.
It turned out that she learned that Zhao Muyun had returned to Shuozhou, and had a meeting with his subordinates but had not returned to the backyard, so she came out to look for him.
After asking, Zhao Muyun came to the top of the city wall, so he took a robe and asked Chunxiang to accompany him and hurried over.
She appeared quietly behind Zhao Muyun. She must have asked Li Si, the former bodyguard of the Bai family, not to remind Zhao Muyun.
Her beautiful face showed a trace of fatigue from the journey, but her eyes were still clear and bright, full of concern for him.
"Ruolan, why are you here?" Zhao Muyun's tone was filled with loving reproach. "I'll be back soon!"
"Seeing that my husband had been discussing matters for a long time and then went up to the city alone, I thought he must have something on his mind, so I hurried over to talk to him and relieve his worries."
Bai Ruolan gently put the fur coat on Zhao Muyun, her voice as gentle as the night wind, "The Northern Expedition was a great victory, and it's time for you to relax a little, my husband."
Seeing the undisguised affection in Bai Ruolan's eyes, Zhao Muyun's heart moved slightly: "Thank you for your help. However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, the undercurrent surges, I have to prepare for the rainy day!"
Bai Ruolan said softly, "My husband is a master of strategy and will surely defeat the enemy. However, my husband must take care of his health first."
Her words were full of a wife's selfless concern for her husband, which warmed Zhao Muyun's heart and soul.
"Husband, go back first! Don't let Sister Xue worry." Bai Ruolan advised again, "Sister Xue will be giving birth in the spring of next year."
"Oh!" Zhao Muyun's eyes became extremely gentle when he thought of the little life Huan Naxue had given him. "I'm so ashamed. I'll go see her now! But, Ruolan, why haven't you seen any movement?"
"Husband, it's me..." Bai Ruolan hesitated to speak, her face full of loss.
Zhao Muyun hurriedly pulled her closer and whispered, "No hurry, no hurry! I'll try harder tonight!"
The two walked back to the inner courtyard side by side. Huan Naxue was pregnant and couldn't wait to fall asleep, so they went to another room to rest.
The room was warm as spring.
As soon as Bai Ruolan entered the room, Zhao Muyun suddenly attacked and picked her up.
Bai Ruolan exclaimed: "Husband, don't..."
"You really don't want it?" Zhao Muyun laughed, "Women always say one thing and mean another."
As he spoke, he had already taken off Bai Ruolan's silk dress, and soon the room was filled with the beauty of spring.
......
The next day.
Zhao Muyun struggled out from the encirclement of Bai Ruolan, who was sleeping sweetly like a puddle of mud, dressed himself neatly, and told Chunxiang not to disturb Bai Ruolan.
Then he went to Huan Naxue's room, asked about her well-being for a while, ate something, and then rushed to the governor's mansion.
The name has been changed, but it is still the original Xiaowei Mansion.
Li Si and others had already lit a charcoal fire here, cleaned the place, and brewed tea for Zhao Muyun.
Zhao Muyun read the official documents for a while, and then heard Li Si report that Princess Qinghe was here to see him.
Unexpectedly, just after returning to Shuozhou, Yin Yao actually came to see him actively. Could it be that she came to urge him to get married again?
"Let her in quickly and make her a cup of jasmine tea." Zhao Muyun ordered hurriedly.
Yin Yao was wearing a white fox fur coat and a white felt hat. Her snow-white body made her face look particularly fair, showing her nobleness.
However, after not seeing her for a while, she looked thinner and there was a hint of sadness between her brows.
But as soon as she saw Zhao Muyun, her worries disappeared and an unconcealable light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"Zhao... General Zhao."
She bowed gracefully, her voice choking. "I've heard the General's successive victories in the Northern Expedition, and Yao'er is incredibly happy. However, the battlefield is treacherous, and every time I hear the battle reports, I'm... terrified."
