The parade was held in front of the audience.

The parade platform.

The soldiers were dressed in armor and holding spears, their weapons sparkling in the sun.

These were the elite troops assembled in Chang'an, Wu State. After the parade, they would head to the northern border soon.

"Soldiers, you are all veterans who have fought with me in China. All of you are warriors who can fight against hundreds of enemies. Today, do you dare to fight with me in all directions?"

Wu Linyue stood on the high platform, looking at the neatly arranged soldiers below the stage, with a loud voice.

"Dare!"

The word dare gathered into a wave of sound, rushing straight into the sky, with a powerful momentum.

"Hahaha, good!"

Wu Linyue laughed, "Today, I will drink with you!"

After saying that, Wu Linyue waved his hand, and carriages carrying imperial wine came in from the door. The aroma of wine immediately filled the air, causing the soldiers to stare and swallow their saliva.

"Come, remember for me, drink a bowl here today, and when you go to the battlefield, you must kill at least one Hun for me!"

"I will live up to your majesty's trust!"

Soon, the jars were opened, and the aroma was fragrant. The jars of wine were divided into bowls and entered the stomachs of the soldiers.

Wu Linyue, wearing a phoenix robe, mixed among these soldiers, and casually raised the bowl to drink with the soldiers.

Drinking happily, it was so happy.

At this time, a guard came to Wu Linyue's side and whispered a few words in Wu Linyue's ear.

Wu Linyue frowned slightly.

"Tsk, this little man, he's not at home taking care of the kids but running around."

"Your Majesty, how about I go and invite the emperor's husband back?"

"Let him go, I don't have time to deal with him now."

"Yes!"

Wu Linyue said angrily.

Just as Situ Kong thought, if he told Wu Linyue in advance, Wu Linyue would definitely not let him go, so it was the best way to kill first and ask for permission later.

.............

"Haha, I'm Situ Kong, eighteen years old again!"

"Haha, Lord Situ Kong is so happy."

Xiaoyan and Xiaozhao couldn't help laughing as Situ Kong jumped out of the carriage.

For so many days, they rarely saw Situ Kong so relaxed and cheerful.

It's not Situ Kong's fault. His eighteen years have been sealed. Only after leaving the two children can he unlock the seal and return to the mentality of eighteen years old.

Maybe people can't turn back to youth, but the mentality can.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle."

Situ Kong put his hands on his hips and said to the dog slaves behind him.

Without the seal of the two children and the oppression of Wu Linyue, Situ Kong walked briskly.

The burden of being a father disappeared, and he felt like he was flying in the sky, running around casually on the clouds. In one word,

Cool!

"Emperor, should we go through the small path or from here..."

The dog slave pointed to the turbulent river.

"Of course we swim down. The door is sealed. Unless we open it from the inside, we can only swim down."

"Swim down?"

The dog slave looked at Xiaoyan with some embarrassment.

"Why are you looking at me, idiot."

"No, Xiaoyan, you are not good at swimming, I am afraid of you..."

"What am I afraid of? I expected that I would come back one day, so I went to learn swimming with Xiao Zhao."

Xiaoyan glared at the dog slave.

"Okay, let's go~"

Situ Kong suddenly jumped into the water, not afraid of the turbulent water at all.

Then the dog slaves Xiaoyan and Xiao Zhao took turns to jump in, like ducks into water.

The rest of the guards waited outside and acted at will.

"The mountain breeze sways its tail~"

A group of girls and boys sang and played at the dam head, innocent and happy, unrestrained.

The adults did not need to worry about their children being abducted by human traffickers, and they worked in the fields with peace of mind.

"Huh? What is that?"

"Is it a big fish?"

"It's a water ghost! Go back and tell Mom!"

"..."

The children saw the water shadow and quickly scattered.

"Ahhhh, the water ghost found me, woooo, don't eat me."

"Hehe, children are the most fragrant, I must eat you!"

A child playing in the water was grabbed by the ankle by Situ Kong before he could run away. He held him tightly, made a ferocious look, and claimed that he liked to eat children.

"Woohoo, don't eat me, don't eat me, I stink..."

The child was so scared that tears came out, but when she looked back and saw the water ghost behind her, the crying and fear disappeared, "Hey, is the water ghost so beautiful?"

The eyes were shining, the eyebrows were picturesque, and the pretended ferocious look was not scary at all, but added a bit of liveliness and affinity to the beautiful face in front of her.

The girl was stunned at the sight.

This is not a water ghost, it's my fairy brother!

"Awoo~"

Eh?

Are you not afraid anymore?

Situ Kong pretended to be scary, but he couldn't scare the girl. The other party just looked at him with a silly smile, looking stupid.

Maybe she was scared silly?

"Mom, this is the water ghost!"

At this time, the scared children ran over with their mothers holding hoes and hatchets, looking aggressive, as if they were going to destroy the foreign invaders.

However, when they saw the appearance of the water ghost, they were stunned, and the hoes and hatchets in their hands fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty?"

"It's His Majesty who's back!"

"Little bastard, what are you talking about? This is His Majesty, not a water ghost!"

"Oh~"

The adults came forward one after another and pulled Situ Kong and his group out of the water, their faces full of excitement.

Some parents, with dark faces, gave their children a chestnut each, knocking it with a dull sound.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that after just a few years, the children here don't remember me anymore."

Situ Kong happily glanced at these young children.

Most of the parents of these children were the ones that Situ Kong had helped to matchmake at the last harvest meeting.

In a sense, this was a good thing, indicating that Dihua Country had fresh blood.

"Your Majesty, long time no see~"

The Imperial Censor ran over with a group of officials, extremely excited.

"Hahaha, everyone, long time no see, you all look different."

Situ Kong was touched when he saw the officials, because these people were the ones who had been with him the longest. Although they were the monarch and his subjects, they were also family.

"Your Majesty is still as elegant as ever. Apart from the temperament of a married woman, you haven't changed at all. I really envy you~"

Everyone sighed.

They have all grown old, and some officials even have bent waists.

But their majesty still looks the same, youthful, and charming, and can make people fall in love with him at first sight.

After sighing with the officials, Situ Kong changed his clothes.

The news of his return was like a gust of wind, and everyone knew about it and celebrated.

After several years, it was another day for all the people of Dihua to celebrate.

Singing, dancing, and flickering firelight;

Inspection, teasing, and harmony between the monarch and his subjects;

Playing, celebrating, and having fun with the people.

Situ Kong is here, just as he said, like a butterfly flying in the flowers, free and relaxed.

After an inspection, he saw the efforts of all Dihua people. When he left, this place was still in its infancy. After returning after several years, the appearance of this place has turned the paradise in his mind into reality.

The air and the sounds here are all stained with the breath of freedom.

"Peach Blossom Spring... No, it should be called Dihua Spring!"

Situ Kong smiled happily.

"Your Majesty, this is the genealogy you want to check. Here, here is the ancestral record of General Yili."

In a large courtyard, officials kept looking through the population household registration records of Dihua.

Although Dihua is a multi-ethnic country, each of their ancestors came from all over the world, but they are all recorded in the household registration. By looking through the household registration, you can check who the ancestors of any person are.

"Let me see!"

Situ Kong became nervous and looked at the ancestral record of the general.

Hulun Yili, a native of Dihua, served as a general in Dihua Kongnian... His mother, Hulun Yeer, was also a native of Dihua... His grandmother, Hulun Yue, was originally from Shuogu. She was angry and killed someone because an officer molested her husband. She was hunted down by the Shuogu people and fled to Shenzhou. When the Zhou Dynasty declined and the princes fought, she fled to Dihua and became a Dihua person...

Situ Kong's eyes froze and he was stunned...
