Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

This year's New Year's Eve in Jiuyuan is even more deserted than last year. Xing Yanping dare not slack off. He did not go back to the Xing Mansion, but continued to nest in the tent in front of the city gate. So did Xing Lingjun. The two of them were drinking in the tent. Xing Ying heard from outside the tent The shouts of the soldiers drinking and guessing, this year's New Year's Eve they seem to be no different from last year, they are still the two of them, but it seems that something has changed, Xing Yanhong is back.

These days Xing Yanping has seen all the hard work of Xing Yanhong, but he has not said anything. He just gave him a free time for one night today. Fengtian.

Xing Yanping drank a bowl of hot wine, so hot that his throat was about to smoke. He coughed twice. Xing Lingjun handed him a bowl of milk tea. When Run came back, he put down the bowl, sighed and looked at the wine bowl he had only drank once tonight, the candlelight was so bright that the wrinkles on Xing Yanhong's face had no place to hide: "I'm really old, I can't even drink wine Had a great time."

Sitting opposite Xing Lingjun, she filled the bowl with wine, imitating Xing Yanping and downed it in one gulp, the pungentness exploded in her throat. What's better to drink than milk tea, if daddy likes to drink, I'll drink it for daddy."

Xing Yanping shook his head, looked at the empty bowl in front of him, and said: "You can't replace daddy, daddy likes to drink spicy wine." He said and brought the wine over: "You can't, you like to drink not strong. "

He filled up the wine again: "The Xingying soldiers all know about this, and the barbarians also know about it, and Huth understands it even more thoroughly."

Xing Yanping seemed to be talking about wine, but he didn't mean wine at all. Xing Lingjun could understand it, but she was limited to listening, but she couldn't change it.

"That's why we played in such a roundabout way. Huth knows us too well. That's why we couldn't fight, and they didn't dare to take the risk of attacking. It's been so roundabout for too many years." Xing Yanping still took a gulp of wine , he held back his cough, and his old face turned red.

This is not to be outdone, but helpless.

Xing Yanping is really old, he can't drink the spirits he used to love, and it's hard to fight with a knife again, but he has to hold on, Xing Lingjun is not enough to support Jiuyuan alone, fresh blood should be injected up.

"We haven't figured out Hong'er's taste, and it's even more impossible for him to be Hute. Maybe even Hong'er hasn't figured it out yet." Xing Yanping drank all the wine left in the bowl and looked at him through Xing Lingjun. The oil lamp behind him: "It's time for Hong'er to figure it out."

Chu Xinle and Huo Gang are busy preparing for the banquet. What kind of banquet is it? It’s just a simple homely meal. The people who are supposed to come have not yet come. At the table, Xing Qingzhang and Ping An also wanted to do something, but were stopped by Chu Xinle, and they could only sit at the table doing nothing.

Xing Qingzhang couldn't tell what mood he was in, Chu Xinle told him everything that happened in Qinchuan, without any concealment, including what Yun Jiming said.

He sounded annoyed at first, but then he gradually calmed down and found that his annoyance seemed to have no reason at all. He had vowed to sever contact with Yun Zhiming and never had anything to do with it again. Ji Wuya's death was a catalyst. Ming's huge ambitions were exposed before Xing Qingzhang's eyes, but disappeared at an accelerated rate where Xing Qingzhang didn't see them, leaving only strong love and longing behind.

But Xing Qingzhang didn't know, he was afraid, all the deceit was Ling Chi's knife in his chest, he didn't dare to open his heart to Yun Jiming again, and his admiration was even more shameful, that was what Xing Qingzhang didn't want to face fact.

From anger to indifference, and now to restlessness, Xing Qingzhang is learning to cut Yun Zhiming out of his own world and become an insignificant stranger.

"What are you thinking bro?" Ping An looked at the dishes on the table, drooling, and finally held back his ready-to-move hands, only to see his brother's absent-minded appearance in a blink of an eye.

Xing Qingzhang did not answer.

"Brother...Brother!" Ping An called a few more times, and only then did Xing Qingzhang regain his senses.

"It's okay." Xing Qingzhang replied.

Ping An is not good to say anything.

All the dishes here are served, and the people from the other side also came in. Liu Tainiu and the others arrived first, Yun Jiming and Qian Yi followed behind, Chu Xinle stood beside Xing Qingzhang, seeing Chenfan bring them in After that, he greeted people to sit down.

The surrounding atmosphere became very subtle. The moment Yun Jiming looked at Xing Qingzhang, he seemed to have seen the vicissitudes of life that this person had experienced. Xing Qingzhang was thinner than when he was in Lin'an, and his body, which could not support the cloak, was even worse now. Weak, the light that always shines in those black eyes, Yun Jiming didn't see it.

The night of New Year's Eve is bright, and the sound of crackling firecrackers can always be heard not far from the mansion. The fireworks exploded in the night sky in the distance, but they can't reach the mansion. The red lanterns in the mansion are hung high, but you can't see them. Show the slightest taste of the New Year.

"Come on, sit down." Huo Gang was the first to come back to his senses. Although he didn't know the past between Xing Qingzhang and Yun Jiming, he had a wealth of experience and could always see some clues, but it's not the way to always be stalemate like this , Someone must break this silent atmosphere.

Chu Xinle also followed suit.

The table is round, Xing Qingzhang is sitting next to Chu Xinle, Yun Jiming is next to Liu Tainiu, he is just opposite to Xing Qingzhang, Xing Qingzhang can't see him, but Yun Jiming's eyes don't see him at all, except for some answers. At that time, his eyes were always glued to Xing Qingzhang's body, and Xing Qingzhang seemed to be aware of it. He ate with chopsticks skillfully and returned dishes for Ping An.

Xing Yanhong sent a letter early in the morning saying that he would come later, telling Chu Xinle and the others not to wait, just eat first.

When Huo Gang became interested, he raised his wine glass and wanted to clink glasses together. Chu Xinle and others stood up one after another. Huo Wu and Ping An couldn't drink, so they changed the wine into water and stood up as if they were two Looks like a little adult.

Unexpectedly, after the glass of wine was finished, everyone sat down, but Yun Jiming didn't sit down, so he poured himself another glass. To Xing Qingzhang, he said, "This glass of wine is for Shanyuan."

Xing Qingzhang was a little dazed when he heard his name, he immediately picked up his wine glass and stood up, and heard Yun Jiming say: "I apologize to Shanyuan, I have done too many wrong things, and I know I can't make up for it, but I am willing to do it for Fengtian. Contribute your meager strength."

What he said was both clear and ambiguous. He admitted his mistake to Xing Qingzhang and was willing to give up his position as Patriarch to help Chu Xinle, but all of these were based on Xing Qingzhang's willingness to forgive him.

People cannot be changed easily. Yun Jiming grew up with mental tricks, and this has become a deep-rooted habit. It is too difficult to change, so that even if he wants to admit his mistakes, it has become a threat.

Chu Xinle and Huo Gang could hear it naturally, they didn't say anything, they chose to hand over Yun Jiming to Xing Qingzhang, and Xing Qingzhang could also hear Yun Jiming's meaning.

His fingers holding the wine glass were visibly clenched, and the joints were almost transparent white. His hesitation was the silence of everyone on the table. Xing Qingzhang's answer, only Ping An was still in a trance, and when he heard it suddenly quiet down, he stopped and looked up. Just as he was about to ask Huo Wu what happened, Huo Wu snatched the chopsticks and put them on the table.

"What is Patriarch Yun talking about? I'm only a doctor in the first class, so how dare I be angry with Patriarch Yun." He said it calmly, as if all the unforgettable things in the past were excluded, and he drank it in his hand after speaking. After drinking all the wine, he poured another glass on his own, and said to Yun Ji, "This glass is to honor Patriarch Yun for the city lord, thank you Patriarch Yun for your help."

The wine Xing Qingzhang drank was his calm determination, and he sat down peacefully after drinking the wine.

It was only then that Yun Jiming discovered that his goodness seemed to have changed, and he looked the same. He looked the same as before, but he was thinner than before. If you treat him well, he will return it ten million times. for you.

The only difference is that he will no longer rub the red earlobe helplessly in front of him again.

Chu Xinle was still thinking about how to tell Xing Qingzhang that he was in Fengtian, but after drinking for three rounds, Xing Qingzhang was overwhelmed with alcohol, so he wanted to go back to the house to rest, Chu Xinle asked Ping An to take care of him, and Yun Jiming drank too much. Qian Yi helped him into the guest room.

Liu Tainiu didn't drink much, fearing that Qinchuan would be attacked again, he rushed back overnight after eating.

Huo Gang was still waiting with Chu Xinle, but after all, Huo Wu was still young, and Huo Gang was also old, and the two of them would be sleepy when the time came, and they had no habit of watching the age, so Chu Xinle persuaded them to go back to the room, On the entire dining table in Nuo Da's front hall, only Chu Xinle and Chen Fan were left.

Chen Fan stayed by Chu Xinle's side, and was also persuaded by Chu Xinle to leave. This year's New Year's Eve was much colder than last year. They escaped from the invisible prison in Runan, but they didn't feel any joy. They lost their green bamboos. Yulian, Shi Haoming is missing, obviously not many people are missing, but it is so worrying.

The candles in the room flickered on and off, and the already quiet fireworks outside started to ring again. It seemed that it was already midnight.

Chu Xinle sat upright, almost never touched the dishes on the table, but Chu Xinle only ate the steamed fish. He used to be the most annoying and the fishy smell, but now he has become unknowingly. Habit.

He was concentrating on picking stabs, but the plate in front of him was taken away. Chu Xinle followed her hands and looked over, and saw Xing Yanhong sitting beside her in a dusty way, with a layer of frost on her shoulders, and her hands were red with cold.

Xing Yanhong picked out the thorn, put the white and tender fish meat on a clean plate and placed it in front of Chu Xinle. After Chu Xinle finished eating, he asked with some resentment: "Why did you come so late?"

"Jiuyuan can't get away." Xing Yanhong picked out all the fish, and then went to eat some other dishes to fill his stomach: "I'm sure Hut will attack again."

Chu Xinle brought him some food. Although the food was a bit cold, it was a relief to see him gobbling it up.

"Then when will we leave?" Chu Xinle asked.

Xing Yanhong took a mouthful of rice, paused for a moment, and said while eating the rice, "Finish the meal."

Chu Xinle nodded, but still didn't stop putting vegetables into Xing Yanhong's bowl. There was selfishness in what she said, but there was also concern: "Eat slowly, and be careful not to choke."

But the meal was finished in the blink of an eye. Seeing that Xing Yanhong wiped his hands clean, Chu Xinle was still thinking about how to tell him about Xing Qingzhang, when he saw someone take out a small thing from his arms.

When Xing Yanhong opened his palm, Chu Xinle could clearly see the appearance of the hairy dumpling in his hand. It looked like a little sparrow, but its feathers were multicolored, and its wings fluttered. Its round eyes did not blink, and it tilted its head to look at it. Looking at Chu Xinle, she occasionally uttered a few tiny chirps, showing no fear of the person in front of her.

"It's called Hua Cai Queying. It's not afraid of people. If it keeps staring at you, it means it likes you." Xing Yanhong asked Chu Xinle to stretch out her forehead and put the sparrow toward him. With Xinle's palm in his hand, he chirped at him.

"Golden eagles are difficult to tame, and they are too big. I thought Yi An would not like it, so I found this little thing and gave it to you." Before Chu Xinle could answer, Xing Yanhong grabbed Chu Xinle's waist After two mouthfuls, he buried his head in his neck and sniffed greedily, until Chu Xinle couldn't control it, and then rubbed Chu Xinle's ears with his breath: "You are more fragrant than plum blossoms."

Xiao Quying jumped from Chu Xinle's palm to the dining table, tilted her head and looked at the two suspiciously.

This night, Xing Yanhong left an hour late.
