After leaving Kyoto that day, Qin Yao kept going all the way.

They rode at full speed in the snow and arrived at Wangcheng on the eve of New Year's Eve.

Celebrate the New Year with my brother and Dalang.

By the way, pay tribute to the original body's deceased parents and family members.

After not seeing each other for a year, Dalang has become much more mature and stable.

After following Qin Feng for a year, the young man gained a lot of knowledge.

After learning about the changes in Kyoto from my mother, I also want to go back and take a look.

After the New Year, the mother and son were temporarily separated.

Dalang took a horse team from his uncle and tried to lead the team to do business independently.

Qin Yao stayed in Wangcheng for a month to help her brother clean up all the local opponents.

Just after the first month of the lunar year, one man and one horse continued their journey northward.

When Dalang finally succeeded in bringing his caravan back to the capital after stumbling all the way.

Qin Yao has started a happy life of training eagles and racing horses with the Barbarian Princess Hu Hetixiang and the Barbarian King Huiyang.

The spies from the Imperial City Bureau were always able to deliver news about Qin Yao to Liu Ji in a timely manner.

Before Dalang entered the capital, the old father happily ran to Nanlou Pass to greet him.

When the father and son met, Dalang was very moved.

The old father came up and searched him all over.

While searching, he asked expectantly, "Did that vicious woman Qin Yao ask you to bring anything back for me?"

Dalang: “.”

If possible, he really wanted to whet his father's appetite a little longer.

But when he thought of how he was abandoned in Kyoto by his mother and looked so pitiful at the stone where he waited for his wife, the young man felt soft-hearted.

Dalang waved away the untidy bearded man who was standing in front of him and was no longer as handsome and elegant as before.

He walked to the carriage and took out a treasure box from a pile of cargo.

Liu Ji took it and opened it immediately.

Inside was a finely crafted dagger, densely inlaid with hundreds of gems of various sizes, shining brightly and looking extraordinarily gorgeous.

Liu Ji took a deep breath, it was obvious that this dagger was more valuable than his life!
Dalang explained, "On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wangcheng Treasure Pavilion held an auction, and my uncle took me and my mother to see the world."

"When the dagger was brought up, my mother said: It's so showy, your father will definitely like it."

"So I spent a lot of money to buy it. When I return to Beijing this time, let me bring it back to you, father."

Liu Ji touched the dagger again and again, and asked with sparkling eyes: "Is it true or false?"

"Fake!" Dalang jokingly stretched out his hand to grab it, "If Dad doesn't like it, you can give it to me. I like it very much!"

Liu Ji angrily slapped the boy's hand away, sneered at him, and put the dagger preciously into his arms.

This was a picture my wife took specially for him, so don't even think about it, you little brat!
From then on, Liu Ji’s anger and resentment subsided, and the vicious woman he had mentioned became his dear wife again.

From that day on, he changed his previous image of a resentful husband and returned to his former handsome and cool appearance.

Even when she is busy with official duties, she never forgets to take time to go home and look after her children.

If I have free time, I will take a few family members to play around nearby and supervise the children's studies.

When Liu Ji received news from Qin Yao again.

It was when Erlang took part in the county examination for the first time and got good results.

Liu Ji was in a very good mood. While he skillfully dealt with the insincere congratulations from his colleagues, he took a thick stack of news about his wife home to share with his family.

But when Liu Ji learned that Qin Yao had run away from the prairie to the Western Desert and lived a free and unrestrained life every day, he felt jealous.

February of the third year in Cangxu.

The Xisha chieftain, located in the southwest of Sheng State, invaded the territory of Sheng State with great force and unstoppable force.

Just when the whole court was shocked.

The Imperial City Secret Agent was forced to submit a brief letter.

Why is it forced?

Because their secret base was actually found, and that extremely brave mysterious man forced this short letter onto their carrier pigeon.

It says: Someone wants to fuck my sister, I'm going first, remember to resupply me with supplies!

There is no signature and no names appear.

But when Liu Ji received this letter, he knew that it was written to him by his beloved wife who had been bohemian and freedom-loving all her life.

Thinking of the aggressive approach of the Xisha chieftain, Liu Ji's heart skipped a beat and his scalp went numb.

Wasn't this woman Qin Yao in the Western Desert before?
Why did you go to Xisha Tusi again?
Do you still want to fight with others and do it first and report later?

The director of the Imperial City Department slammed the table and roared: "If you are so capable, why don't you go to heaven! Two fists can't beat four hands. If you die on the battlefield, I will be a widow!"

After cursing, I feel good.

They rushed into the palace without stopping and quickly asked the emperor to order the requisition of food supplies from all over the country and send them to the southwestern border.

As reports from the southwest war were delivered to Kyoto City one after another, Liu Ji became so anxious that his mouth was covered with blisters.

But there was no trace of Qin Yao in those battle reports.

Liu Ji was so anxious. Didn't she say she was going to help her sisters fight? With her abilities, how could there be no news at all?

Liu Ji, who was worried, broke into the Ziwei Palace at night.

He asked for the job of delivering supplies and went to the Xisha Islands in person.

When I got there, I saw that they were using another name and not the original name at all.

They had just captured the Xisha chieftain alive and were drinking happily with the male and female soldiers of the Manchu army.

The general of the southwestern border defense admired this capable general very much and gave her twelve beautiful captives from the Paracel Islands.

They were eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls, hugging women left and right, looking very happy.

Look at Liu Ji again. He was exhausted from the journey, with a tangled beard, messy hair, and sunken eye sockets. He was lying among the dead bodies. It was impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive.

Liu Ji was filled with rage. He strode up to the woman who was surrounded by women and knocked her wine cup away.

He was so angry that he was angry. When he woke up again, he was already in the general's tent in the military camp.

The couple, who had not seen each other for more than two years, fought three hundred rounds at night and even collapsed their makeshift camp bed.

The general wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He voluntarily gave up his own tent to accommodate the ferocious couple.

During the time they were on the southwestern border, the couple followed their husband's lead and lived in love and harmony.

But suddenly one day, Qin Yao left again, leading her Arabian horse.

This time she left a long letter to comfort the man in the family, so he didn't get angry.

Liu Ji returned to Beijing obediently to look after his family and children.

Qin Yao kept walking and traveled all over the beautiful land.

Sometimes she would ask people to bring some gifts home, including trees from Lingnan, cats from Siam, pearls from the South China Sea, pine cones from the north, rhino horns from Henan, and butterflies caught in the primeval forest.
She is not at home and seldom comes back.

He would occasionally appear in the capital or Liujia Village, but only for a few days.

But all the people in the family talk about is her. This person is far away, but it seems like she is always with them.

In the past ten years, Qin Yao's footprints have been all over Shengguo.

Ten years have passed, and Liu Ji still gets excited and happy every time he receives news about her.

He couldn't quite describe the feeling, it was as if someone was living another wonderful life for him, so he was always full of expectations.

In the autumn of the eleventh year of Cangxu, three major happy events happened in the family.

First, Sanlang married into the Xu family and married Xu Jiajia. The two heartless young people who only cared about eating and drinking set up their own small family.

The second is the siblings Erlang and Si Niang.

Erlang successfully entered the officialdom.

Si Niang also became the first female inspector of Sheng State as she wished.

Liu Ji doesn't need to worry about these two.

Of course, the brother and sister have their own ideas and he, as a father, can no longer control them.

Not being controlled by them was the old father’s last struggle.

The third big happy event was that Qin Yao returned home.

She returned to Liujia Village and waited for them in the small courtyard where she used to live.

After Liu Ji learned the news, he lied that his parents were in poor health and might die.

After taking a half-year leave, they took Awang and happily returned to Liujia Village.

As soon as he entered the village, he was chased and beaten by Old Man Liu who was blocking the entrance of the village with a hoe.

"Liu San, you are such an unfilial son. Your father and your mother are alive and well. Who are you cursing to death?"

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a lowly official. If you dare to act arrogantly in front of your father, I'll beat you to death!"

Old Man Liu was chasing behind and Liu Ji was running in front.

He accidentally bumped into two people. When he looked up, Liu Ji was almost scared to death.

One of these two people is Zhen Yubai, a teacher in their village school.

The other one was actually the former emperor, now the wise king Baili Qingyang.

He was dressed like a teacher and looked weak and frail. Together with Zhen Yubai, he helped the shocked Liu Ji up. He smiled at him briefly and left.

Behind the two of them was a group of village children, among whom a ten-year-old girl with pigtails was shouting the loudest.

She was the girl born to my second sister-in-law, Qiu, and now the new generation of little bully in Liujia Village.

Jinbao is married, and the couple opened a tavern in the county and lived a prosperous life.

Jinhua did not marry out of the village. She found a good young man in the village and took over the village stationery factory. Now she is the general manager of the factory.

Damao is a capable person who loves studying and is ambitious.

Liu Fei sent someone to bring him to the capital two years ago.

I found the best private school and teacher, and plan to take part in the county examination next year.

Speaking of Liu Fei, Old Man Liu was even angrier than when he saw Liu Ji.

After so many years, he still hasn't married and started a family. I'm afraid he's going to be a bachelor forever.

Thinking of this, Old Man Liu couldn't help but sweep the hoe in his hand towards Liu Ji.

"As an elder brother, why don't you take care of your younger brother? If he continues to be alone like this, there will be no one to throw tiles on his head when he dies, and he will just become a lonely ghost!"

"Liu San'er, tell me the truth, was it you who instigated this?!"

Liu Ji had just recovered from the shock of seeing the virtuous king when he was hit head-on by a hoe from his own father.

Feeling the strong wind, his eyes widened in disbelief.

The old man is going to kill him!

Unfortunately, he had not practiced with his wife by his side for many years, so his reaction had deteriorated a lot. He could not avoid the hoe that was about to fall down.

In the blink of an eye, a hand suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ji and grabbed the hoe that was falling down.

"Dad, I know you're angry, but don't be angry yet. Leave this man to me, don't worry."

Hearing this familiar female voice, Liu Ji raised his eyes in surprise, "Madam!"

Qin Yao turned around and smiled, raised her eyebrows. Ten years had passed, but time didn't seem to have left too many traces on her body. Her skin was just a little darker and her figure was a little stronger.

That full sense of security is still so reassuring.

For Qin Yao's sake, Old Man Liu withdrew.

The couple walked home side by side, chatting about the people and things happening around them.

Liu Ji rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to make her something delicious. Qin Yao sat under the osmanthus tree in the yard and took a nap, as usual.

But in the midst of his busy schedule, Liu Ji took the time to look back at the courtyard and couldn't help but wonder, is she a human or a monster?

If it is a monster, what kind of monster is it?
I think it should be a good one, the kind that doesn't eat people.

Unfortunately, they met too late and he never knew her past.

But now I can still stay in this small courtyard with her and cook soup for her, which makes me very satisfied.
