When Blue Moon Pass was breached, the Mobei people burned it down to the ground. The current camp and meeting hall were built later.
"Well, let's go to the city wall and take a look. It's just that the wind is a bit strong."
"good."
Everything was rebuilt later, with only vague traces of its former appearance. The stone-paved pass was solid and majestic, spacious enough for two carriages to run side by side. The piers, trenches, and arrow towers were arranged separately, and the inner city and gables were all built to an impeccable strength.
"These are newly reinforced ones. The previous ones were already in ruins. If the people from Mobei attack, a few stone cannons can knock them down." Yan Suizhi explained when he saw her carefully inspecting these defensive facilities.
"Did you repair it after you came here?"
"Yes, General Liu had submitted a memorial a long time ago requesting to strengthen the defense and send more garrisons, but it had always been suppressed by the Prime Minister Huang Yanjing. He had no choice but to go to the Regent Han Cheng again. He somehow persuaded him to submit the memorial to the emperor on his behalf." Yan Suizhi also admired this auxiliary general who was truly concerned about the safety of the country.
The wind was so strong that Yan Suizhi had to speak loudly to be heard.
She looked ahead, and saw the desolate Gobi Desert stretching out before her. The sky was high and the land vast, vast and desolate. In the distance, the Tianshan Mountains lay silent under the azure sky, rolling and rolling.
Lonely saxaul trees, poplar trees and low shrubs are growing tenaciously in patches.
This was where she lived in her childhood.
My father stood quietly on the high city wall of Blue Moon Pass, his eyes always looking into the distance, but they seemed empty.
She curiously asked her father what he was thinking about. Her father rubbed her little head and smiled, "Dad is thinking about when my little one will grow up."
Perhaps at that time, my father already had a premonition in his heart.
"Let's go, the wind is too strong." She didn't care, but she was afraid that Yan Suizhi's body couldn't bear it.
The two of them descended the tower. The wind had died down a bit, and the sun shone through the dark clouds, bringing a touch of warmth. Neither of them could bear to part, so they tacitly found topics to talk about.
Yan Suizhi told her about Jin Bai's success on the hunting grounds. Xie Wanyun listened intently and said with a smile, "This kid hasn't lost his martial arts skills, but his actions are a bit ostentatious. I sent him a few messages hoping to meet him, but I didn't receive any replies. I wonder if he didn't receive them."
"He must not have received it, otherwise why wouldn't he come to see you. Go find someone who can contact Jin Bai." Yan Suizhi told her an address and a name.
Xie Wanyun took note and said, "Tell me about Jinbai's childhood."
Yan Suizhi thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about the winter when he was three years old. It was extremely cold, and his cold symptoms recurred. He had a high fever and was unconscious, and he couldn't take medicine. At the time, there were many things to do at court, and I was so anxious that I stayed by his bedside for three days and three nights without closing my eyes. I was so sleepy that I actually fed medicine down his nose, and it choked him awake!"
Yan Suizhi laughed as he spoke, then shook his head. "Meimei, you don't know. At that time, I thought this child couldn't be saved. I didn't expect that the medicine that was supposed to go into his mouth went into his nose and brought him back to life."
Xie Wanyun's eyes grew hot and moist. Her heart trembled. Yan Suizhi had made light of it, but she could imagine the torment and despair he felt at that moment.
Seeing her like this, Yan Suizhi comforted her softly, "It's okay, Meimei. It's all in the past. Now the child has grown up. I finally lived up to your expectations for so many years."
Xie Wanyun said softly, "Thank you for teaching Jinbai so well."
Yan Suizhi laughed. "What are you thanking me for? He's my son too. Meimei, you don't blame me now, do you?"
Xie Wanyun nodded slightly.
Her upturned eyes were as bright as stars, and her cheeks were as red as if drunk.
An overwhelming passion suddenly surged in Yan Suizhi's heart.
"Then... can we... can we..." Yan Suizhi's words stopped abruptly.
Xie Wanyun looked at him, waiting for his next words.
Yan Suizhi pursed his lips, regretting his impulsiveness. His future was filled with thorns, traps, and dangers, all waiting to devour him. How could he possibly drag her into it?
