It's the end of winter again.

At the beginning of December, Hua Nanhe led the old army of the northern defense land replacement totaling 35,000 people to return to the capital to the territory of the wing state, was stopped by an imperial decree.

It was mentioned in the bull that the Ninth Princess had safely given birth to her son, and that the mother and son were now safe and sound in the palace.

St. order Hua Nanhe immediately lead the change of defense army turn rut Guiping, and the East Qing Shui division of the joint efforts to fight against the Ying army, to recapture the island of Kunhuang, must not be wrong.

The news was like bad news!

The team burst into tears.

Most of the veterans of the change of guard are far from home, far from their wives and children, and have been stationed in the polar regions for many years.

The Northern Border Rebellion saw many men die in battle for their country.

The rest of these, filled with the desire to reunite with their wives and children not far from home, do not want to meet obstacles in the middle of the road, and then receive orders, is about to go to war again.

These veterans, wounded and crippled, many of them old and physically and mentally ravaged by war, could not withstand another battle in any case.

Hua Nanhe was clear that this holy decree in front of him was the emperor's intention to send him to his death.

He was fortunate enough to escape the battle of the Southern Border, his mission to the Ying Kingdom, and the Northern Rendezvous, which was enough to make the emperor furious.

Since he, Hwa Nang Hyuk, can fight, let him fight until he dies!

In the capital city of Da Yi, learning that Hua Nan He was forced to accept the imperial decree to roll over to the east, Yu Xuan Ji is determined to rescue his sister Xiao Ruo as soon as possible, and can no longer allow her to become a tool for Hua Nan Xin to blackmail his own uncle.

In addition to stepping up the publication of the private residence newspaper, Yuxuanji

Hundreds of talented disciples of the Red Flame Sect were also sent out to serve as Lotus Flower Drops or Counting Treasures artists, as well as female pioneers of storytelling and flat-string playing.

These people spend their days traveling around the capital juggling, talking and singing about the incident of the Nine Princesses being detained in the palace.

Overnight, the fact that the Tian family was bullying others and wanted to use the opportunity of the Ninth Prince's eastern expedition to get rid of the commoner Princess who had no family origins had become a household name in the capital.

At first, Huananxin dispatched the East Chamber and Jinyiwei to arrest these rumor mongers, not realizing that behind them there was also a supporting force of the East Chamber Governor.

The result is that the person is arrested on the front foot, and after being well fed and watered in the cell, he is released on the back foot.

After some twists and turns, on New Year's Eve, Yun Shi was finally released from the palace.

Regrettably, the World Son, Hua Nan Ying Yu, is still being held in the Duanben Hall, being raised by the palace's Sisters.

Not having returned for a year, the Ninth King's Mansion did not have an obvious weather of decay.

Some of the underlings left to make a living, and some stayed, working hard to this day to guard the home for the King and Princess.

The first moment they met with Yun Shi, they all embraced each other and cried.

Yun Shi wipes her tears and looks at the group: .

"It's New Year's Eve again, and I'm back today, so let's all clean up and we'll have a good New Year's Eve tonight."

"Wak!"

The cry behind him was familiar, choked out of his throat with uncontrollable excitement.

Yun Shi turned back and saw that it was an old man with a burden, and in the bamboo basket was fresh meat and vegetables.

The old man looked to determine Yun Shi's doubt and eagerly let go of his stretcher, and as soon as he uncovered his false face and flowery white wig, he revealed Yu Xuan Yi's clear and cold jade-like face.

"Brother!"

Yun Shi rushed into his arms and burst into tears.

Yukenji puts his arm around her and comforts her.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Step into the bedchamber, brother and sister two to the table and sit, a cup of hot tea, each other to tell this year in the palace outside the palace things.

The subordinate brought a hot lunch, Yun Shi did not have much appetite.

Jade Xuanji was trying hard to clip fish and meat into her eyes, and earnestly said.

"Xiao Ruo, eat more, don't think too much. Look at how thin you are, people gave birth in the palace, they must not have given you a good body tonic."

Yun Shi's feathery eyelashes stirred, instantly reddening her eyes.

She thought of the child who was still in the palm of Huananxin's hand.

"Brother, I'm sorry Hyuk, I'm not a good mother ......"

She was pale and self-conscious, lost in thought and looking somewhere on the table, her eyes watery and vacant: .

"It was in this room last year that Hyuk told me that when my child with him is born, the boy will be called 'Yingyu' and the girl...will be called 'Yinghen'.

When I was pregnant with Yingyu, I loved him so much. I told him stories about his father and me every day, and I spent every day imagining the moments when we would be reunited as a family.

I finally expected him to be born, but I couldn't hold him or touch his face before they took him away!

Brother...brother! I think of him every day with a blank baby face in front of me! I'm his mother, but I don't know what he looks like ......"

Tears flowed freely as Yun Shi covered her empty belly with her hand :)

"Go to the second day of the year, Yingyu is still in here, he accompanied me to the palace together, and I won't be alone in the days and nights with him.

But this New Year's Eve, I went out of the palace alone, but left him alone.

If I see Hyuk one day, I don't know what to tell him. He went north for me and the baby, but I lost his yingyu!"

Yun Shi slumped over the edge of the table, crying in despair and pain.

"Wakey, stop it, you stop it!"

Jade Xuanji rushed to her side and hugged the sobbing woman, shedding tears with her.

"It's not your fault, Ying Yu he's fine now, he just stayed in the palace for now. When Hua Nanhe comes back, he won't blame you for anything."

Yun Shi collapsed into Yu Xuan Yi's arms, crying her heart out : .

"Xiao Bei said he would try to save Ying Yu from the palace first, but why did he send him to the Duanben Hall? Why, why!"

"You have to sympathize with him, Yingyu is too young, if he wakes up crying on the road, everything will be all over ......"

Yu Xuanji's five trembling fingers stroked his sister's green silk, and said with tears in his eyes.

"It is my brother who is useless, and only then did I ask you to be so sad and grieving. Xiao Ruo, brother knows that you have endured too much suffering that should not be endured by you. Go ahead and cry, just cry it out. In the future, you will have brother to take care of you, and we will wait together for Hua Nanhe to return."

Yun Shi tightly grasped Yu Xuanji's lapel, her face buried in his chest, her cries were mournful and heartbreaking.

......

The New Year's Eve dinner was set up at three tables in the flower hall, and apart from Yun Shi and Yu Xuan Yi, the rest were the subordinates and guards of the mansion.

Everyone says that of all the great things that have happened in this year, there are three that are most worthy of celebration, the instant victory of the Northern Expedition, the overthrow of the Time Party, and the return of the Nine Princesses to their homes.

They would still pray day and night, expecting the fourth great joy to come sooner, that is, the victory of the eastern expedition and the safe triumph of the Ninth Prince.

After the dinner, Yun Shi left his guards Xiao Wu and Hei Liu behind to deliberate with Yu Xuan Ji around the table.

These two guards were Tianyan Sect disciples, loyal to the twin brothers Hua Nanxian and Hua Nanhe.

There is also the fact that they know the terroir of Terra Nova very well.

"How are the recent battles in the Eastern Conquest?" Yun Shi asked the three.

She held the teacup in her hand, warming her cold palm by the temperature of the hot tea in the cup.

Jade Xuanji's face was grave, his head shook and shook: .

"There is no room for optimism. Today's Higashi-Kiyoshi Sailors are long gone from the days when they were led by Min-seo, and were broken up by Kamakawa's Kamicho Sailors in the 'Bokun' battle a year ago.

The veteran battalion of Huananhe and the remnants of the sailor division have been able to sustain themselves until now, and what has survived is purely will."

Yun Shi's eyes were hazy, her brows knitted up in a faint shade: .

"This won't work, we must think of a way... The Ying people are arrogant, if we can force them to disorganize themselves, perhaps they can retreat without a fight... Xiao Wu, Hei Liu, do you know of a way to avoid the fighting on the eastern coast and take another route into Ying?"

Little Five Roads.

"As far as I know, there is a natural channel between Goryeo and Ying Kingdom formed by a special vortex, and many Goryeo bootleggers use this channel to go to Ying Kingdom.

"Goryeo?"

Yun Shi lowered her head and bit her finger, her sideways eyes deep in thought and speechless.

"Ruo, you don't want to go to Terra Nova, do you?"

Jade Xuanji's heart churned and she turned her horrified face to her.

Yun Shi tantalizingly smiled, her eyes were as firm as iron: .

"Not want, but must go. Da Yi's vassal state of Bula is only a river away from Goryeo, we can go out of the capital to the northeast, to Goryeo and then smuggle the waterway.

I am to go to Terra Nova myself and move the knife from the back of my enemy!"
