#599 - Did you eat wood butterfly too?

On the second day of the first month, Wei Changtian and Ning Yukeh, who had spent the night at the Ministry of Works, went to Datong City again.

From groundbreaking to the present, nearly a year has passed, and the overall construction of Datong City has basically been completed, and the popularity in the city is also getting stronger and stronger.

Under the instructions of Wei Changtian and Qing Xian, many transformed demon beasts have quietly moved into the city, but they have not yet revealed their identities.

The people in the city do not know that many of their neighbors who get along with them day and night are actually monsters, but even if they know, it is estimated that there will not be much reaction.

After all, under the continuous "public opinion guidance", the people of Da Shu, especially in the Shu region, are no longer so afraid of demon beasts.

As long as this kind of gradual transition continues for a period of time, the "full opening" of Datong City will probably not be too far away.

After visiting the various "infrastructure" conditions of Datong City, they stayed in the city for another night.

On the third day of the first month, Wei Changtian ended this short "inspection tour" and returned to Shuzhou City at dusk.

It is still early from the Lantern Festival, even though the city is full of tension before the war, there is still a residual New Year's atmosphere.

Many people have not yet started work, but are spending this rare peaceful New Year with relatives and friends at home.

However, Wei Changtian can no longer enjoy this comfortable time.

According to Xu Suisui, the four countries were originally scheduled to send troops at the end of the first month.

However, this was the situation when Fengning was still in civil strife.

Now that the civil strife has subsided, the four countries will definitely not give themselves too much breathing time, and may advance the time of the attack.

Therefore, whether it is Da Ning, Xin Feng, or Da Shu, which is temporarily far away from the war, they must start deploying defenses as soon as possible to avoid being caught off guard by the enemy.

Jizhou, Yuanzhou, Fengyuan, Huailing.

In the past two years, Wei Changtian has spent more time "out" than "at home".

And this time going to Liangzhou is different from the previous situation.

No matter where he went before, whether he achieved the purpose before leaving, Shuzhou was always Wei Changtian's base camp.

But this time, Da Shu will no longer be his retreat.

If Liangzhou cannot be defended, and the armies of Jue and Ji countries directly face the entire abdomen of Da Ning, it basically declares the fall of the entire territory of Da Ning.

After that, the entire northern part of Da Shu will become a war zone, and eventually the flames of war will definitely spread to Shuzhou City.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities for Wei Changtian to return this time.

Either he successfully repelled the armies of the four countries and returned in triumph.

Or he failed to help Ning Wenjun defend Liangzhou, or Xu Suisui failed to hold on, causing him to have to return to defend the last Shuzhou City.

Apart from this, there is no other possibility.

"What time are you leaving tomorrow?"

That night, the candlelight in the room flickered slightly, shining on Xu Qingwan's face in a trance.

She lowered her head slightly, her voice was very soft, and it sounded like she was trying to make her tone easier.

But the reluctance and worry in her words were like water that was already full in a glass, and would overflow with just a slight shake.

"I'll leave at Chen Shi."

Sitting opposite Little Comrade Xu, Wei Changtian's face was a little unbearable.

Liang Qin had already left with Liang Zhenxian, leading troops to Liangzhou.

And Yang Liushi will still be with him this time.

So after they leave, only Xu Qingwan and Lu Jingyao will be left in Shuzhou City.

In fact, the situation of the two women "guarding the empty boudoir alone" has happened before.

But before, Little Comrade Xu still had a lot of things to do with Yingfengsheng, so life was not too boring anyway.

But now that the food prices in various places have returned to normal, Yingfengsheng no longer has so many things that need Xu Qingwan to deal with, so she may have a hard time in the future.

Wei Changtian had thought about taking her with him.

But this is not a trip after all, but a war.

Although Xu Qingwan's strength is acceptable, it is only compared to ordinary people, and she cannot play any role on the battlefield at all.

Besides, she doesn't have Yang Liushi's scheming, and she hasn't even touched a knife for a long time.

In this case, if he takes her with him, Wei Changtian will have to distract himself to take care of her safety, which does not seem like a wise move.

So...

"After we leave, the three little girls will be handed over to you."

Forcing a smile, Wei Changtian smiled and said: "Agou and Achun are fine, they have always been quite diligent on weekdays."

"But Qiaoling is not very diligent, and only knows how to play with her group of rare ancient animals all day long."

"Lu Jingyao is reluctant to be fierce to her, so you have to be stricter with her."

"In short, you must not let her delay her cultivation."

"..."

The vague shadows of the two people were reflected on the wall, and Wei Changtian talked about taking care of Wei Qiaoling.

After listening, Xu Qingwan covered her mouth and smiled:

"What?"

"Sister Lu is reluctant to be fierce to Qiaoling, so I have to be this villain?"

"What if Qiaoling bears a grudge against me because of this?"

"What does she, a little girl, know."

Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Lu Jingyao has never cultivated, and does not understand the importance of cultivation, there is no way."

"But you are a cultivator, you should understand how far Qiaoling's talent can go in the future."

"Yes, yes, I know."

Smiling and nodding, Xu Qingwan gently tucked a strand of blue silk behind her ear: "Don't worry, I will definitely discipline Qiaoling well, and will never let her be lazy."

"That's good."

"Oh, by the way, Yingfengsheng should also prepare early, I plan to let Ning Wenjun hand over the matter of requisitioning food and grass to Yingfengsheng."

"When it is decided, I will immediately send a letter to tell you..."

"..."

The light clouds are gone, and the cold is overflowing, and the Milky Way is silent and turns the jade plate.

In the next quarter of an hour, Wei Changtian kept telling some things that he had, and Xu Qingwan kept listening silently, and occasionally responded with a word or two.

She never showed too obvious emotional fluctuations from beginning to end, as if she had become accustomed to staying in this mansion and waiting for Wei Changtian to go back and forth, back and forth.

And this situation only changed when the two took off their clothes and went to sleep.

Little Comrade Xu tonight... seems to be particularly eager, and the degree of initiative is beyond any previous time.

She seemed to want to leave all her tenderness to Wei Changtian, and stay in this night.

"..."

"Wan'er, how are you today..."

Nearly an hour later, Wei Changtian, sweating profusely, lay on his back on the bed, and was about to ask something in confusion, but his mouth was suddenly covered by a piece of softness.

After a while, the wet heat moved away, and a soft request sounded in his ear.

"Changtian, I, I still want..."

"..."

"? ? ?"

What? Did you also eat a wooden butterfly? ?

Wei Changtian was greatly surprised in his heart, but of course he would not spoil the scenery, and immediately came a "second bloom".

Then it was a "hat trick".

After three times, Little Comrade Xu finally stopped making demands.

And Wei Changtian, who was exhausted, soon fell into a deep sleep.

"Changtian..."

The tears that had been suppressed for half the night finally filled her eyes, and a call trembled slightly.

Xu Qingwan lay on her side beside Wei Changtian, staring at the man so close at hand, and then arched into the latter's arms little by little.

She is actually much more tired than Wei Changtian now, and drowsiness is constantly surging into her heart like a wave.

But Xu Qingwan tried her best to fight against this drowsiness, and was always unwilling to fall asleep.

It seems that this way she can stay with Wei Changtian for a while longer.

"..."

"Chirp chirp ~ chirp chirp chirp ~"

I don't know how long it took, the fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky outside the window, and the birds' calls were clear and happy.

Little Comrade Xu, who had not slept all night, reluctantly left Wei Changtian's arms, put on her clothes, tiptoed out of bed and washed her face with cold water.

She walked to the bronze mirror and looked carefully, feeling that she was much more energetic, and then she returned to the bed and gently shook Wei Changtian's shoulder.

"Changtian, get up!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!"
