Chapter Seventeen Going Home

Puyi's army finally arrived before the Rong people launched a general attack.

Mu Luotian was blocked in the city of Xinyi and was immediately in disarray.

He didn't dare to fight. Since Puyi's army had arrived, Ganlu's army was not far away either.

As soon as Mu Luotian closed his eyes, the wound began to feel severe pain.

"king!"

Mu Xingri supported Mu Luotian. At this time, Mu Luotian's face was whiter than wax, and he kept saying: "Why is it so fast...how is it so fast!"



The Rong people retreated.

They rolled and climbed down from the mountains and forests on both sides of the road to the high ground where Xinyi was located.

Puyi's army did not pursue them. In such a battle, it is enough to drive people away. There is no need to stalk them.

Mu Luotian has been in a semi-conscious state. He can't figure out why Puyi's army arrived at Xinyi today despite the smoke ignited yesterday afternoon?

Has the distance between Puyi and Xinyi become shorter?!

Puyi's army came up along the bad road.

Puyi doctor Fan Ni was the first to come to the rural school in Xinyi.

"Xinren, I'm late!"

Wherever you go, go hand in hand.

During the Zhou Dynasty, people liked to add the word "人" after the name of the city, which means Xinyi doctor.

He is about the same age as Xin You, slightly fat, with narrowed eyes, and looks very honest.

"Thank you to Pu people for saving me. I, Xinyi, finally escaped."

Xin paid a great tribute to Fan Ni again, which came from the bottom of his heart.

This honest and honest Fan Ni had known Xin You since they were young. Since the two were close neighbors and often helped each other, the relationship between the two was quite good.

"I'm really shocked that the people of Xin could think of a way to ask for help." Fan Ni helped Xin You up and said, "Our Sima of Yi still doesn't believe it!"

"The Rong people blocked our way and lost our way of contact." Xin added: "This is also a last resort. If we are really isolated and helpless, we in Xinyi will suffer."

"It's been raining heavily these past few days, and there have been many collapses in the ring. As you know, the Yetu clan in Wangji Nei is all for decoration, so I rushed over and wasted a little time." Fan Ni quickly explained.

The so-called Huantu refers to the road 200 miles outside Wangji.

These roads are managed by dedicated people, called "Yotushi".

It's just that now that the royal family has declined, the Noto family is too busy with people and has no intention of managing the roads in such remote areas.

"Just come here. What are we doing here? Let's go to my room for a while. I also want to thank everyone in Puyi." Xin said with a smile.

"Excuse me?" Fan Ni was a little surprised, and his eyes that had been narrowed to a slit opened: "Xin You, when did you..."

"Let's talk about it later..." Xin added, "I'll arrange something first."

The so-called "taking a break" is a term used by people in the Spring and Autumn Period, which refers to drinking less alcohol during the break during important activities.

Later it came to mean drinking because of trivial matters.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were strict etiquette for drinking at rural banquets. Nobles naturally could not hold troublesome ceremonies every time they wanted to drink.

The saying "take a moment" slowly spread among nobles of all strata.

Xin is also an old-fashioned person. Before this, he would never have said such words as "It's a while."

If you want to drink alcohol, drink it only in Yanyin (banquet) where you eat together and follow strict etiquette.

After knowing Xin Zao for so many years, this was the first time Fan Ni saw Xin and asked for a drink.

In such a remote place, taking a break has become synonymous with drinking and having fun.

"Cowman, hurry up and retrieve those cows that were disturbed by the fire.

"Sima, you first clean up the losses of this battle, and at the same time release the smoke to show that we are safe in Xinyi.

"Situ, please arrange for Fan and Xin to repair the road.

"Uncle Zhu, you will be responsible for transporting the food back to its original place, cleaning the rural school, and providing food and accommodation for the people of Puyi."



Things after the war were complicated and busy, but Xin arranged them in an orderly manner.

Even the meals needed by the people of Puyi have been arranged. He has settled all the people in Puyi among various families in Xinyi, and they are responsible for their food and accommodation.

After everything was arranged, Xin You and Fan Ni returned to Xin You's home.

Although Xin You was not a doctor in the city, he still had a private residence in the Xin family's ancestral land.

The Xin family lived in the northwest of Xinyi and occupied the largest piece of land in Xinyi.

In the center of the Xin family's settlement is a quaint courtyard, which houses the Xin family's ancestral temple.

The Xin family, who was once honored as the Third Duke, declined and was demoted to an ordinary scholar, with only one ancestral temple.

This ancient ancestral temple always brings some heavy memories to Xin You.

In front of these ancestors, the descendants of the Xin family prayed, cried, swore, and were punished...

Xin You didn't know about the others, but he knew clearly that every time his predecessor "Xin You" came here, he only had fear in his heart.

Behind the dark gate, there is not only the ranking of the Xin family's ancestors.

There is also the past glory of the Xin family, and the infinite expectations of the ancestors for their descendants.

After the battle, the first thing Xin did when he returned here was to pray to his ancestors in front of the ancestral temple and report back on the battle.

The whole process was not very long, and Xin was just performing the ritual mechanically under the guidance of Xin Wuzuo.

My heart has long been free to fly.

"...Hey, the expectations of several generations and hundreds of years have been placed on one person. I wonder if this person is not crazy!" Xin You thought to himself.

At the same time, he also thought of a certain generation of talented people who determined to restore the country, but later drove himself crazy.

The previous Xin You grew up under this invisible pressure and became a reverse Murong Fu.

Nowadays, Xinyou will naturally not put so much pressure on himself.

But he did restore the Xin family to its former glory, but not for the sake of this ancient ancestral temple, but for the sake of a better life for himself and to leave some mark on this era.

"Ancestors, please protect me! At least become an official in the royal family, acquire some land, and improve the environment for you!"

Xin prayed seriously again.

It wasn't until Xin came out again that he and Fan Ni returned to their yard.

As a descendant of the Xin family, Xinyou lived in a very inconspicuous place.

At the end of a street, in a courtyard facing north and south, is Xin You's residence.

The walls of the courtyard are still constructed of rammed earth.

A black-painted door looks very majestic at first glance, but in fact the black paint has peeled off and the door bricks are broken.

Open the door and there is a small courtyard.

There are firewood sheds on both sides of the yard, and the front is a common structure of "one hall and two interiors".

The middle room is a hall, which is inevitably open, has no walls, and is very bright.

This is where the nobles received guests and held political affairs.

On both sides are the inner rooms, which are places to rest.

At the back is where the family members live, and Xinyou's old-fashioned mother lives there.

Thinking of this mother, Xin couldn't help but shudder.

This old woman has a worse face than Kong Si.

Why Xin was so autistic and cowardly in the past was inseparable from this old woman.

So when Xin woke up, he didn't go back to see the old woman at all, and went directly to the rural school.

After not coming back all day and all night, the old woman must have become angry.

"Who cares about her! I'm Doctor Xinyi!"

Xin cheered himself up again and walked into the hall with Fan Ni.

Fan Ni and Fan Ni sit facing each other, Xin You lives in the west, and Fan Ni sits in the north.

"Gentleman, you are back."

Wei lowered her head and stood in the hall.
