For the bigwigs in both the military and political circles of Shaanxi, the Spring Festival of the sixth year of Jiayou was quite a headache.

These officials and generals who settled in the local area generally had the concept of spring break.

I don’t have to be on duty, nor do I have to report official business to my superiors at the end of the year. It’s a rare opportunity to enjoy some free time.

But this year is different. This year, a senior officer was parachuted into Shaanxi, and he came without his family.

In the eyes of Shaanxi officials and soldiers, this behavior of always looking for something to do when alone is simply a waste of time.

What follows is that the Han Da Anfu Transport Envoy is expected to conduct border patrols at the turn of the New Year.

This scared a large group of border troops terribly, many of whom were generals with guilty consciences, as they all knew the methods of this young Han Xianggong.

For a time, the border troops were in a panic.

However, Han Ming still turned a blind eye and explained to the outside world that it was approaching the New Year and it was a good opportunity to bring some supplies to the border guards as a reward.

But Han Ming's "notoriety" is known to everyone, so who knows what purpose this gentleman has in coming here.

So Han Ming was also very troubled. It was not a good thing for him to use too many conspiracies and tricks, as it made these smart guys on guard.

But I figured I was free anyway, so even if I couldn't find anything interesting, I might as well just relax.

Originally, Xue Xiang wanted to be a guide and accompany Han Ming on patrol.

However, Han Ming rejected Xue Xiang's offer in the name of taking a break during the Spring Festival, and asked him to stay at home and spend time with his wife and children.

But Wang Shao, another person of the same type as Han Ming, was not so comfortable.

On the day of the Little New Year in the north, Wang Shao was pulled out of his warm bed by Han Ming, and he packed his luggage and set off on a journey to the northwest.

Their first stop was Huanzhou, located south of the border of Yongxingjun Road.

According to the plan of Han Ming and Wang Shao, they planned to start from Huanzhou, gradually move northward, pass through Dingbian Army, Qingzhou, Bao'an Army, Yan'an Prefecture, and finally arrive at Suide Army at the junction with Hedong Road.

The time limit was also guaranteed to be around two months for this round of inspection, and Han Ming had handed over all the official duties after the New Year to Xue Xiang.

This made Xue Xiang feel a little weird. These jobs were mine before you came, and they are still mine after you came.

Then didn’t you, Han Ming, come here for nothing?

Of course, this kind of complaints can only be kept in Xue Xiang's heart and cannot be expressed.

Watching Han Ming and Wang Shao leading some troops out of Jingzhao Prefecture and heading north, Xue Xiang felt that the haze over his head seemed to be much less.

As expected, Han Ming brings a cloud of darkness wherever he goes.

. . . . . .

On the day of the Little New Year's Eve, Han Ming and Wang Shao stayed in an inn in a certain city, drinking some wine and chatting comfortably over a few hot dishes.

"Sir, is there anything you want to say about the day you chose?"

Wang Shao poured a bowl of wine for Han Ming, leaned on the couch and asked in a low voice.

"What can I say? I just have nothing to do and want to have some fun."

Han Ming took a sip happily to warm himself up.

"If your Excellency says so, you are looking down on my wisdom."

Looking at the funny Wang Shao, Han Ming chuckled.

"I'm telling the truth. Your brother and sister-in-law are not here. What's the point of spending the New Year? I might as well entertain myself."

Wang Shao rolled his eyes, not believing it at all.

"Actually, I just wanted to have a drink with my old buddy, but you know my current reputation is so influential that it affects everyone."

"If I don't find a reason, I won't be able to leave Jingzhao Prefecture."

"I can use the border patrol excuse to get them off the hook. It puts their minds at ease, and it also gives me peace of mind."

Han Ming picked up a piece of peanuts with chopsticks and chewed them slowly in his mouth.

"From my humble opinion, your Excellency's real intention is not to go to the bar."

Han Ming glanced at Wang Shao, who looked like he understood everything, and poured him some wine. "It just shows how capable you are, doesn't it?"

"Hey, sir, what's our relationship? Is there anything to hide?"

Han Ming was at a loss for words when he heard this, and he poured wine for Wang Shao repeatedly.

"Drink your wine, this won't stop you from talking."

Then Han Ming stared at the clear snow outside the house with a melancholic look, and said meaningfully: "This year's snow season comes later than in previous years..."

Hearing Han Ming start to make riddles again, Wang Shao shook his head helplessly, and drank the wine in the bowl with a gulp.

. . . . . .

Huanzhou, located at the border between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty, was one of the battle points in the Song-Xia wars throughout history.

At the same time, because it is the closest to the Xixia capital Xingqing Prefecture, Huanzhou has become a place of key defense and attention for the other side.

Now the defense of Huanzhou City is handed over to the Di brothers.

Before this, Huanzhou was governed by Zhong Shiheng, the father of Zhong Yan, and later by Di Wuxianggong, the father of the Di brothers, who also served as garrison here.

This time, the two brothers returned to Huanzhou, where they had been away for a long time, and they were familiar with the place.

Here are not only some of the direct descendants left by my father, but also former comrades-in-arms.

Di Liang and Di Zi felt a different feeling from Bian Jing.

Of course, if it weren’t for the bonus of his sweetheart, Di Liang would feel that Huanzhou would be more comfortable than the capital.

The two were conducting their routine inspection of the city defenses when they received the document from the herald.

This is a necessary daily military duty on the border.

After all, no one knows whether the so-called "neighbor" next door will invade the next second.

"Oh my! Brother, our comfort and transfer envoy is coming."

Di Zi handed the documents that Han Ming wanted to Di Liang.

"Hey! This kid, running to the border during Chinese New Year, I don't know what he's up to."

Di Liang put it away without even looking at it.

"Maybe he misses us?" Di Zi answered in a low voice.

"No, that's for sure. If this guy thinks of someone, someone will definitely get into trouble."

After guarding the border for more than half a year, Di Liang has picked up his original military temperament and started to speak in a ruffian tone.

While the two were still complaining, a teasing voice sounded behind them.

"Why, from the sound of it, Han is possessed by a calamity star?"

Hearing the long-lost voice, Di Liang and Di Zi were delighted at first, then turned back with embarrassed expressions.

It's so embarrassing when the person involved hears you talking behind someone's back.

Seeing Han Ming's half-smile, the two immediately changed their attitudes.

"Oh, it's been a long time since we last met, Jingyuan."

"I really miss you, brother. Come on, let's go back home and talk."

Di Liang and Di Zi are much more shameless than when they were in the capital.

"Brother Zichun, I think Huanzhou is pretty good. There's no need to patrol. Let's go to Dingbian Army."

Han Ming flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Di Liang and Di Zi didn't dare to let Han Ming go, and immediately reached out to hold Han Ming.

"Master Han, I was rude. Please be magnanimous and bear with me."

Di Liang immediately put away his usual calmness and pulled Han Ming with a smile.

"Brother is right, Lord Han, you are known as 'Little Han Xianggong' and 'Little Minister', you can't be on the same level as us."

Di Zi took advantage of the situation and continued with his brother's words.

"What? What are you doing?"

Han Ming pretended to be panicked and kept tossing and turning, trying to break free from the Di brothers.

"I'm warning you, you're making a mistake. Let me go, or I'll accuse you of disrespecting your superiors!"

Hearing Han Ming's stern but weak words, Di Liang and Di Zi didn't care at all. They smiled and carried Han Ming to the government office in the city.

Di Zi didn't forget to shout to Wang Shao, who was watching the show, "Master Wang, follow us. We'll host a banquet to welcome you."

Wang Shao's face lit up, and he bowed with a smile: "Thank you both generals for your kindness. I will be right there!"

The three of them ignored Han Ming's shouting and rushed into the city laughing.

Han Ming couldn't help but smile. This feeling made him feel comfortable after a long time...
