The golden sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the sunset fades away, the end of the sky has turned into a deep blue, dusk quietly descends between heaven and earth, and the moon, obscured by clouds, gradually climbs to the top of the mountain.
Wan Jinlan stretched out her palm, raised her head and looked sideways. The moonlight shone through her fingers, as if the moon was in her hand.
When Wan Zhijing woke up, he found that the two were not in the courtyard, so he went straight to the "Observatory" on Changyuan. As expected, he saw the two of them snuggling together and watching the moonlight.
He looked at the peaceful and warm atmosphere at this moment, said nothing, and retreated back the way he had come.
Standing so close to the moon and the clouds, the wind felt chilly.
"It's really cold up there. If the wind blows any further, you'll catch a cold." Wan Jinlan turned around and hugged his waist, looking up at her, his eyes filled with stars. "Husband, let's go take a hot spring bath."
Xiao Feng felt a surge of heat in his ears. He knew that she wanted him to lead the way, not invite him to go together, but he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Guo Ming has been stationed on Yanyun Trail for many years and has built a house next to the hot spring pool in the mountains.
Wan Jinlan felt a little disgusted with the house, so he simply went upstream and found a good place to soak.
When I returned to the yard again, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.
Xiao Feng let her settle down, and he went to the hot spring to take a good bath and soak in the bubbles to relieve his fatigue.
Wan Jinlan couldn't sleep for a while, so he sat in the courtyard with his clothes on.
"Yu Song, go find out where Anyang's wedding procession is tomorrow."
Yu Song responded in the darkness.
Wan Zhijing was also one of those who couldn't sleep, so he found a jar of wine, poured the bottom of a bowl for Wan Jinlan, and poured half a bowl for himself.
Wan Jinlan took a sip and found it sweet with a hint of plum fragrance, not as strong as she had imagined. "Not bad, not bad. Fill it up for me."
Like Wan Jinlan, Wan Zhijing didn't like strong liquor. They preferred this kind of liquor that was mild and fruity. Both brother and sister thought it was delicious. Yu Song then went ahead and cut a large plate of beef from the kitchen.
Guo Ming took a concubine yesterday, so there is a lot of food in this yard.
As he ate and drank, Wan Jinlan unknowingly became full and drunk.
When Xiao Feng came back, covered in sweat, Wan Zhijing had just helped her back into the house.
"She's drunk too much, so I'll have to trouble Your Highness to look after her tonight."
When they were at the mansion, Wan Zhijing had never entered his sister's boudoir since he understood the difference between men and women. Now that he was out of town and there was no one to serve his sister, Wan Zhijing had no choice but to help his sister in. He didn't stay long, and after seeing Xiao Feng's response, he left.
Although Xiao Feng's black hair was tied up, it was still half dry. He let his hair down and wiped it again, then took off his coat and got on the couch.
Wan Jinlan subconsciously moved closer to him, and the smell of plum wine filled his nose.
Moonlight streamed in through the window, and the moon in the mountains seemed even brighter than outside. Xiao Feng looked at her fully grown eyebrows and eyes, which now showed an unguarded closeness. His slightly cool hand touched her temples. Wan Jinlan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him fixedly.
Xiao Feng lay sideways, resting his head on one arm, his eyebrows slightly raised. He felt her hand on his face, and then heard her say, "My husband is darker than before, and not as handsome as before."
Xiao Feng frowned slightly, "You don't like it?"
Wan Jinlan shook his head.
Xiao Feng's heart suddenly felt empty and he was a little confused. If she didn't like him, how could he come back in the future?
"No, I like it better."
Wan Jinlan smiled, narrowed her eyes, held his face and kissed him.
At this age, full of passion, Xiao Feng slept on the same couch with her day in and day out, yet they never crossed the line. Tonight, her anger was particularly intense. Wan Jinlan was like a fish about to die of thirst, pushing him just as she was gasping for air. They still had some sense left, and they couldn't have sex for at least a year, if not three years.
Xiao Feng's breathing gradually calmed down. Wan Jinlan hid her head against his chest, too embarrassed to look up, and then slowly fell asleep.
The night was long, but Xiao Feng couldn't sleep. Seeing her sleeping soundly without knowing anything, he got dressed and went out, drinking up the half jar of wine left on the stone table.
After sorting out all the matters at Yanyun Pass, Xiao Feng sent letters to the governor of Beidi County and all the county magistrates, ordering them to come to Wei County for an audience.
Being able to capture Yanyun Pass within one night is a deterrent in itself.
Fan Du, who was in Gaoling City, did not receive the post sent by Xiao Feng.
Three hours before the county governor and county magistrate received the post, he had already received the news that Yanyun Pass had changed its owner.
Fan Du is incredible.
None of them expected that Xiao Feng would go for Yanyun Pass. Yanyun Pass was notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the King of Qi was able to capture Yanyun Pass in just one night.
"Father, the King of Qi didn't send you a letter, but the governor and county magistrate of Beidi Commandery have received it. What should we do?" Fan Yi admired Xiao Feng, but was also wary of him. His Fan family couldn't afford to offend both sides. Was the King of Qi trying to undermine his Fan family?
Fan Yi thought so, and Fan Du also had the same guess in his mind. Needless to say, he felt a little nervous.
According to the garrison troops stationed in Wei County, when Xiao Feng attacked Yanyun Pass, the sound of explosions in the air was particularly clear in the night, which must have been the sound of the "magic weapon".
Even Yanyun Pass was easily captured by Xiao Feng. Fan Du was afraid of being attacked from both sides. He sighed and said, "Let's get ready. We will also go to Wei County to meet the King of Qi."
The county government office of Wei County had been occupied by Xiao Feng at this time. The county magistrate followed Xiao Feng diligently and personally arranged the banquet for tomorrow.
"Husband, why don't you send a message to Fan Du?" Wan Jin combed her hair back into a bun and bought two sets of women's clothing from the city. At this time, she and Xiao Feng were in the granary in Wei County in the city.
The granary in Wei County supplies the soldiers at Yanyun Pass, and it is still quite sufficient.
Xiao Feng said, "When these county magistrates surrender, do you think he will be nervous? When we reach Gaoling City, will he take the initiative to open the gates to welcome us?"
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that these county magistrates and prefects will be intimidated by Fan Du and dare not come?" Wan Zhijing asked from the side.
Xiao Feng chuckled, "Then we'll wait and see."
The magistrate of Wei County at the foot of Yanyun Pass even offered him the granary. Xiao Feng believed that this magistrate was not the only one who was so considerate.
On the second day, the seven county magistrates of Beidi County arrived one after another, either early or late, and all arrived before the end of the You hour.
When the banquet started, a burst of hearty laughter was heard outside the hall.
Wan Jinlan looked up at the entrance of the hall and saw two men with very similar faces coming in. One was older and slightly thinner, with a knife on his waist. The other was younger, wearing a sky-blue brocade robe. He had a handsome face and a jade pendant on his waist. He looked like a typical young man from a noble family. He was holding a long object covered with brocade in his arms.
Two incense sticks ago, Xiao Feng had received the news that Fan Du was coming with his eldest son. Without his permission, the two of them could not enter the city or the county government office. At this moment, he calmly looked up at the two of them.
