After the court meeting.
The civil and military officials retired.
Zhou Cai immediately stopped Cai Yong and Wang Yun.
Cai Yong said with a dark face,"General, isn't it a breach of etiquette in the Northern Liang to block the way?"”
"Humph!"
Wang Yun looked displeased.
Zhou Cai smiled lightly." Please don't be angry. General Yan did not just give the Emperor something. Your things are outside the palace gate. We are in a hurry to return to Beiliang to report, so please bring it back yourself!"”
"We have one too?"
Cai Yong stroked his beard and asked.
Zhou Cai nodded and said," My Yan General is also from the army. Northern Liang is suffering, so he sent two carts of corn and sweet potatoes. It is the only thing that Northern Liang can offer!”
"Alright then!"
Cai Yong's expression relaxed a little.
Wang Yun turned to look at Yuan Kui, Yuan Feng, and the others, who were standing in the distance, and said,""I'll take the item and pass a message to Yan Chuan. Diao Chan is only my adopted daughter. After she gets married, she has nothing to do with me!”
"Understood!"
Zhou Cai's eyes were filled with disdain.
"Swoosh!"
Wang Yun flicked his sleeves and left.
Seeing this, Zhou Cai was not angry. He took out a scroll from his sleeve and smiled."This is the scenery of the Northern Liang. Please hand it over to the young lady of the Cai family.”
"Good!"
Cai Yong took the scroll and nodded.
No matter what, he had no choice.
Since it was a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, he and Wang Yun had to accept it as subjects.
Night fell.
The candles in Cai Manor were bright.
In the study.
Cai Yong opened the scroll.
In the scroll, there was a scene of yellow sand.
There was an ancient city on the yellow sand. The city was simple and solemn, and a Northern Liang flag was inserted in the city tower.
There was not a single living being in the entire painting. There was only yellow sand and a city. It seemed desolate and empty, making people shudder.
"This is?"
Cai Yong held the candle and looked at the upper right corner of the painting, muttering,"Grape wine, luminous cup, want to drink the pipa, immediately urge, drunk on the battlefield Lord Grim, since ancient times have fought, how many people have returned, what does Yan Chongzhi want?”
"Clang!"
Suddenly, the door to the study room opened.
Cai Yan was wearing a black and red immortal dress.
Her skin was snow-white, as if moonlight was dancing on it.
Her brows were slender, and her eyes were clear and bright, reflecting the purity of the world.
His fingers were as white as scallion, and his footsteps were light. He carried a plate of corn and sweet potatoes into the cabinet of the study.
"Zhao Ji?"
Cai Yong was slightly stunned.
Cai Yan smiled warmly and said,"Lord Father, it's late at night, you should rest early!"”
"Yes!"
Cai Yong turned the painting around and said in a deep voice,""The Emperor has betrothed you to the Marquis of Beiliang, and the wedding date is set to be the 18th of March next year. Today, the Marquis of Beiliang has sent you corn and sweet potatoes, as well as this painting.”
"Desert, city pass, a poem!"
Cai Yan's gaze swept over the painting and muttered,"The Marquis of Beiliang is very talented. There must be a deeper meaning behind this painting. An empty city with a Northern Liang battle flag. It seems that Zhao Ji's wedding will have to be postponed!”
"What do you mean?"
Cai Yong raised his eyebrows.
Cai Yan pointed at Empty City and said," Empty City has no one, which means that he is not ready for his wedding. A Northern Liang flag means that there will be war to delay our wedding. This poem might be his sigh, or perhaps it is the wine that will fill the city after the war and the pipa music!”
"The wedding date has already been set. He wants to attack the Western Regions?" Cai Yong frowned and said unhappily.”
Cai Yan's eyes seemed to be illuminated by the stars, blooming with a resplendent light as he said,"Northern Liang's war flag is not facing the Great Desert. There must be an internal war going on in Great Han!”
"So mysterious?"
Cai Yong said with a strange expression.
Cai Yan smiled sweetly and said,"The Marquis of Beiliang isn't a layman. He wouldn't be so careless as to give Zhao Ji a painting of a desert city!"”
"Yes!"
Cai Yong nodded, seemingly believing it but not believing it. Looking at the corn and sweet potato, he smiled bitterly and said,"Yan Chongzhi, why did you give me food for no reason? I didn't expect the taste of the corn and sweet potatoes to be so tempting!”
"Zhao Ji will return to her room first!"
Cai Yan put away the painting without leaving a trace, turned around and left the study.
"Hey!"
Cai Yong nibbled on the corn.
Sighing in his heart, he secretly took the painting away.
Mid-December.
Northern Liang welcomed the coldest days.
In the four prefectures, every household closed their doors and windows and lit up their stoves.
Northern Liang Prefecture.
In the hall.
Yan Chuan was wearing a single garment as he flipped through the statistics of the population of the four counties and sighed,"The White Paper is indeed miraculous. In just one or two months, our Northern Liang has gained 20,000 more people. It seems that Fatty Dong is really being oppressed!”
Xun Yu roasted the corn and smiled." Dong Zhuo is very capable. He has an extraordinary person under him. He has stabilized the lost people!"”
Yan Chuan pulled out the ash bag under the stove and took out a few roasted sweet potatoes. He said lightly,"Li Wenyou, we need to be careful with this person. At least in my heart, this person might not be weaker than Wen He!”
"Not weaker than Mister Wen He?"
Xun Yu, Xun You, Du Xi, Lu Bu, Ma Teng, Guo Fu, and Zhu Wu were all shocked.
Yan Chuan nodded and said in a deep voice,"The Iron Blood Army should be replenished with ten thousand soldiers.”
Zhu Wu nibbled on the roasted sweet potato and asked in puzzlement,"General Yan, Old Zhou said that the emperor has set the wedding date on the 18th of March.”
"Chaos is coming!"
Xun You held the roasted corn, his eyes filled with helplessness.
