Although the real Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day have long passed, the lively and peaceful atmosphere in the barracks still makes Xue Jinyi really feel the joy of the New Year.

Especially when you have a happy holiday with your loved one, this feeling is satisfying and happy.

Looking at the people dancing by the bonfire, the firelight reflects the hideous faces, and the "jingle bells" between the hands and feet are constantly ringing, driving away the "demons and monsters" and praying for peace and auspiciousness.

She remembered that after her relatives passed away one after another, every New Year was either full of work, or sitting at home alone, looking at the fireworks outside the window, eating a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner alone.

Now, in this different time and space, there is the company of her lover and family, as if there is a warm current injected into her heart, which makes the whole person full of vitality and makes her feel "home" again.

Xue Jinyi thought about it and nestled into Pu Yangxuan's arms.

Pu Yangxuan stroked her hair and asked with a smile, "Ah Jin, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about it...... Xue Jinyi touched her chin mysteriously, and didn't tell Pu Yangxuan for a long time.

Pu Yangxuan looked anxious, and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, "Huh? ”

Xue Jinyi sighed: "It's like a dream." ”

"It must have been a very beautiful dream."

"yes." Xue Jinyi rubbed and rubbed in his arms, and in the cold and freezing of Mobei, he felt endless warmth, "Everything is getting better." ”

She meant something, and she was also referring to everything they would have to face when they returned to the capital.

It may be a bit of a disappointment to mention this on a joyous day, but they face it with confidence.

"Yes, everything will be fine." Pu Yangxuan hugged her tighter, and her eyes were full of Xue Jinyi's face.

Someone noticed them, laughed and whispered a conversation, with happiness in their eyes.

Xue Jinyi coughed dryly twice, smiled and gently poked Pu Yangxuan with her elbow, "I want to see you go to dance?" ”

"This ......" He had never danced the dance, Pu Yangxuan pinched his eyebrows.

Xue Jinyi said with a smile: "The sword dance is so good-looking, will the dance stump our His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" ”

Pu Yangxuan raised the corners of his lips, picked up a mask, put it on, and then blended into the crowd of dancers.

The figures overlapped, but Xue Jinyi's eyes kept following Pu Yangxuan's body, and he danced very hard, although it was said that there was a superstitious component, but who wouldn't want to do a good wish?

Not far away, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks comes and goes, and the atmosphere is more enthusiastic with the dance by the bonfire.

Later, with or without masks, they all joined the dancing crowd to celebrate the New Year and the hard-won victory.

Pu Yangxuan came to Xue Jinyi and stretched out his hand to her.

Xue Jinyi looked up at him, and the brilliant brilliance of fireworks fell on his blood-red hideous mask, which also illuminated his smiling face. She jumped to her feet, reached out and lifted his mask to the top of her hair, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips involuntarily.

Pu Yangxuan hugged her deeply with a smile.

More fireworks exploded above their heads, like colorful flowers, shining on them who embraced each other affectionately.

When the fireworks dispersed, the tiny flames streaked across the sky like meteors, and the people around the campfire let out even louder cheers, as if they were about to overturn the night sky.

A new year is coming, and it is also a new beginning.

The emperor's order was finally sent to the barracks, and the matter of peace continued to be presided over by Pu Yangxuan.

Although Pu Yang Xuan participated in the specific discussion, when the peace negotiations really began, he was like a statue sitting on the main seat, and Xue Zhao and Pu Yang Xuan were in charge of everything.

After the negotiation is completed, Pu Yangxuan and his party can leave for Beijing.

Xue Zhao stayed in the barracks to deal with the follow-up matters, and asked Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan to bring Xue Shen back to the capital.

Xue Shen's guilt has not been announced, Xue Zhao can't be fair and clear in everything, he is also selfish, because behind him is the glory of the Patriotic Mansion and hundreds of lives, so he must conceal it and protect the reputation of the Patriotic Mansion.

But this does not mean that he can forgive Xue Shen for what he did.

knew how brutal the Suo people were, and how miserable the dead and wounded Great Zhou soldiers and people were, but because of a little coercion and fear, he actually helped the Suo State spies to do that kind of thing.

Maybe there should be a chance to correct after making a mistake, but this thing touches the bottom line, and Xue Zhao is unwilling to give Xue Shen a chance to reform a little bit.

Among them, there are also reasons for Sun Suci, when he saw Xue Jinyi and thought of all kinds of things about her, he couldn't forgive Sun Suci and her children for appearing in front of him.

He couldn't guarantee that Xue Shen would not do the same thing again, so it was better to let him go back to the capital.

Being a gentleman is much better than a fool who is not firm enough and does something wrong to endanger the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xue Shen cried bitterly, kept kowtowing to express remorse, hoping that his father would give him another chance, but Xue Zhao was hard-hearted and no longer willing to give Xue Zhao a little hope.

Xue Shen saw ruthlessness and indifference in his father's eyes, and he knew that he was finished.

Mother wholeheartedly looked forward to his achievements in the frontier, and now he was driven back to the capital in such an embarrassment, I don't know how many people will laugh at him.

He almost wanted to die, but when he thought about it—

Isn't it better to have fine clothes and food in the Patriotic Mansion, and to enjoy glory and wealth endlessly, than to suffer on the frontier?

Besides, the capital is the center of the Great Zhou, as long as his mother helps, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the capital!

Hmph, he must let his father and Xue Jinyi, that slut, take a good look!

The night before departure, everyone had an early dinner and checked that everything was ready, and somehow, the legend of the ancient city of the West Night began to spread among the people again.

When there was nothing to do, there was a lot of small talk about people, and although the ghosts that appeared at that time were confirmed to be human disguises, and the cries were reasonably explained, they were somewhat eager to see what the thousand-year-old ruins were like.

As Xue Jinyi expected, someone suggested to Ma Zhong that on the way back, he should take a look at the ancient city of Xiye from a distance, after all, many people may only have such a chance to come to Liangzhou once in their lives.

Pu Yangxuan "happily" agreed, and everyone was happy.

After Xue Jinyi and Xue Zhao finished talking about some words between father and daughter, they came out of the main tent and deliberately went around, and saw Shen Qingmo and many people sitting around the bonfire, talking about something with great interest.

She stood next to her for a while, and everyone didn't notice her arrival, it was Shen Qingmo who raised her head first, as if she had just seen her, and greeted her with a smile.

"Princess Chu, how is my story?"
