155. Years
The heavy snow stopped.
The red tassels on the Qiansui Army's helmets fluttered on the snowy plain, like a magnificent banner heading north.
Chen Ji rode his horse in the front, and white mist came out of his nostrils and drifted far away with the wind. He felt that the depression in his heart disappeared, and he finally felt that he was alive in this world.
Bai Li, wrapped in a white mink fur coat and with a picturesque expression, rode her horse behind him and asked loudly, "Chen Ji, when we return to Luocheng, what do you most want to do?"
Chen Ji pulled the reins, slowed down his horse, and walked side by side with Bai Li. He smiled and replied, "Take a hot bath, and then have a good sleep."
Bai Li smiled and said, "Your clothes are torn in many places. When you wake up, come with me to Li's shop. I'll ask them to take your measurements and make you two new sets of clothes, as well as boots and a hat."
Chen Ji responded: "You can still wear it if you mend it a little bit."
Bai Li thought he was worried about the money, so he quickly said, "I'll pay for it, you don't have to worry about the money."

"ah?"
Chen Ji was stunned for a moment: "This is not good."
Bai Li pondered for a moment and said, "What's wrong with that? If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't be able to return alive this time. Besides, you helped me vent my anger during the debate. It's nothing for me to buy you two sets of clothes!"
Chen Ji smiled and said, "That's fine!"
Bai Li smiled and said, "There's still a month until the New Year. Have you been back to the Chen family?"
“No!”
Bai Li smiled and asked, "If you don't want to go back to the Chen family, why not come to the palace? Then we can all play Pai Gow together to stay up late, and we can also go to the street to set off firecrackers together."
The New Year is the Spring Festival, followed by the Lantern Festival, where people eat Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings) and visit lantern festivals.
Chen Ji thought for a moment and said, "By then, Senior Brother Liu and Senior Brother She will have to go home to celebrate the New Year. Only Master will be left in the clinic. I have to stay with him in the clinic."

Bai Li thought for a long time, then asked, "How about my brother and I go to the clinic to stay up all night? In the morning, we'll sweep the house. In the afternoon, we'll hang lanterns, make dumplings, and steam buns. In the evening, we'll play mahjong. Stay up all night."
Chen Ji was puzzled: "Don't the princess and the prince need to stay at the palace to celebrate the New Year? They spend the New Year with their families!"
Bai Li was silent for a moment. "There's no festive atmosphere in the palace. The servants steam the buns and wrap the dumplings. My father still has to deal with government affairs, and my mother retired early. It's boring."
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Then the princess and the prince should come to the clinic. Let's sweep the house together, hang lanterns, make dumplings, and steam buns."
Baili's eyes sparkled: "Okay, we've made a deal. By the way, did you secretly look at the red ribbon I wrapped around the apricot tree?
? "
Chen Ji shook his head: "No, don't worry, princess, that's your secret. I won't peek."

Bai Li let out a long "Oh": "...That's good!"
Not far behind them, Prince Jing and Wang Daosheng rode side by side. The red cloak behind Prince Jing was in the white world.
Especially eye-catching.
Mr. Wang said, "Your Highness, there is no order to mobilize the Qiansui Army this time. If this matter gets out to the capital, I'm afraid it will be criticized again."
The Qiansui Army was Prince Jing's direct army in the early years, but it was not a private army after all.
To mobilize more than 300 people out of the camp, an order from the Ministry of War is required.
Now Prince Jing has assembled a thousand soldiers and is besieging Luhun Villa.
This matter can be considered a big deal or a small matter, it all depends on the mood of His Majesty.
Prince Jing, however, was unconcerned. "If I can't even protect my own children, I'd be better off being a commoner. I believe His Majesty will be tolerant when he learns of this."
Wang Daosheng was puzzled: "Over the years, Your Highness has been keeping a low profile and protecting his reputation, fearing that he would do something wrong and arouse His Majesty's suspicion. Why is he so reckless today?"

Prince Jing smiled but did not answer.
He looked at the backs of Chen Ji and Bai Li from afar and changed the subject: "Mr. Wang, you said before that Chen Ji would be an observer, not even a registered disciple. How come he has become a direct disciple now?"
Wang Daosheng said calmly, "He's surrounded by monks and can't leave. I guess he violated a major Buddhist taboo during the debate. As his teacher, I naturally have to find a way to protect him. So, if Wu Zhai's master and uncle want to vent their anger on someone, they should come to me, not him."
Prince Jing said cheerfully, "Sir, that's a righteous man. But this boy doesn't study the classics. If he's tested on his knowledge in the future, I'm afraid he'll be embarrassed for you, sir."
Wang Daosheng shook his head: "It's okay. With the prince as an example, Chen Ji is not bad at all."
Prince Jing slowly put away his smile and looked at his eldest son beside him with a displeased look.
The prince saw his father looking at him and thought he wanted to speak to him. He immediately rode forward and said, "Dad, it's been a long time since I saw you in armor. You look as majestic as ever."
Prince Jing responded, "In the early years, we had to send troops to suppress rebellions. These years have been peaceful, so naturally, we don't need to wear it."
The prince suddenly sighed, "Seeing you wearing your old Mingguang armor, I realized you've lost a lot of weight."

Prince Jing was stunned. Sometimes people don't realize whether they are fat or thin. They don't realize they have gained weight until their old clothes can no longer fit them. Or they realize they have lost weight when they find their old clothes are suddenly loose.
He lowered his head to examine the Mingguang Armor on his body, then looked up at the backs of Chen Ji and Bai Li, and suddenly asked, "Yunxi, what do you think of Chen Ji?"
The prince looked forward and saw Chen Ji's whale knife slung beside the saddle. The young man stood with his back straight, like a young knight coming down from the Tianshan Mountains.
He thought for a moment and responded, "Okay, very good. I don't have another friend as good as him."
After saying this, he looked at Chen Ji and Bai Li, then at his father, and said in confusion: "Dad, what do you mean by asking this all of a sudden? Do you want to..."
Before he could finish his words, Prince Jing interrupted him and asked, "Yunxi, do you have a favorite woman in Luocheng?"

The prince replied, "No, the young ladies of noble families are all so bashful and pretentious that they are not worthy of your attention."
Prince Jing casually said, "A few years ago, I wanted to arrange a match for you, but you said you wanted to go to Donglin Academy to study and didn't want to get married before you returned. Now you've been at Donglin Academy for three years and have reached the age of coming of age. If you continue to refuse to get married, you can no longer stay in this palace."
The prince's expression changed: "Are you going to get rid of me?"
Prince Jing was annoyed: "I said I would send you to the border army."
At this moment, a man came galloping on his horse across the snowy field.

The other person was wearing a conical hat and a black cloak, with his entire face hidden in the shadow of the hat.
Three long swords were hung beside the opponent's saddle, and the black scabbards and handles were murderous.
"Protecting the Prince"
The Qiansui Army quickly moved closer to Prince Jing and the Crown Prince.
A group of cavalrymen from the rear, holding lances, stood in front of Prince Jing.
But even though there were thousands of troops here, the uninvited guest had no intention of stopping and would not avoid or give way.
At the critical moment.
Chen Ji followed the sound of horse hooves and squinted his eyes. He suddenly turned to look at Bai Li and said, "Princess, is that the person who has been following you many times before?"

Bai Li was startled: "It's him."
Earlier, outside the clinic, a middle-aged man stood under the bun shop and secretly looked at Bai Li. When Chen Ji wanted to observe the man carefully, the man had disappeared.
According to Bai Li, she had spotted this person four or five times, and it was definitely not a coincidence.
Chen Ji was surprised and wondered why this person appeared here?
The enemy was getting closer and closer. Chen Ji led Bai Li to stop and wait for the Qiansui Army to surround them.
As the middle-aged man's black horse galloped, its hooves kicked up waves of snow.
However, when he got closer and saw the white carp on the snowy field, he actually slowed down.
Chen Ji tightened the reins with his left hand and moved towards Baili, holding the hilt of the whale knife with his right hand, staring quietly at the middle-aged man approaching.

But he gradually realized that something was wrong. The man raised his head and revealed a tough face as sharp as a knife, but there was no hostility at all.
Instead, he seemed to be relieved, his muscles relaxed, and his face became much softer.
The Qiansui Army rushed over to surround Chen Ji and Bai Li before the man arrived.
The man rode his horse past the perimeter of Qiansui's army formation as if no one was around, without saying a word.
Chen Ji was in the military formation, looking out through the gaps in the red tassels on the helmets, but found that the other side was also looking at him.
The soldier holding the royal flag looked at Prince Jing and said, "Your Majesty, capture him?"
Prince Jing looked at the man deeply and shook his head gently: "We are all on the road, there is no need to make things difficult for us."
