Chapter 443 Another Birthday
As he expected...
Before Hu Yan's carriage had gone far, it was stopped by a little girl riding a white tiger.
The autumn wind was quite strong, blowing up the little girl's black hair and her flamboyant red clothes.
The old fox opened the small window, always smiling, and asked, "Why did you stop my carriage again, little ancestor?"
Jiang An smiled brightly, her smile was open-minded and free and easy, even the towering city walls and continuous mountains behind her became the background.
"My father said that a military advisor shouldn't be burdened by his body and waste his time in the courtyard. You should stay in your position and continue to be a talented military advisor!"
“So I came…”
She patted Baihu and said, "I came to ask the military advisor if he wants to return to the camp?"
"Jiang An will clear the way for you!"
The military advisor, who was dressed calmly and coldly, suddenly smiled, and his smile was eye-catching and beautiful.
Jiang An watched and remembered this moment in his heart.
Even when I think of him again in my spare time many years later, I can't help but be amazed by the military advisor in my memory.
After hearing what the little girl said, Hu Yan felt that the heaviness in his body was relieved.
How lucky he is...
"I have finished all the official business I needed to deal with today, and will return home with you safely."
He half-jokingly said: "Tomorrow...tomorrow you must remember to send me back!"
The little girl also smiled, turned around with the white tiger, and walked towards the city of Chongzhou.
……
Time flies by, and soon it's Jiang An's birthday...
Jiang An was very happy that day, and everyone in the palace and the entire northern land was very happy.
Everyone the little girl meets says "Happy Birthday" to her, and every corner she passes seems to hide a surprise.
Xie Yunshan, who had disappeared for many days, also appeared on this day.
Together with Qi Shanyuan, Li Xingsang, Huo Changming and others, they pulled the little girl out of bed early in the morning.
They took her to Zhaixing Tower, where Jiang An hid the treasure.
The little girl's eyes were covered with a layer of cloth, and only a faint light could penetrate through, so she could not see the things in front of her...
Jiang An was not afraid and took every step boldly.
Because she knew that with these people around, she would not fall.
"What is this? It's so mysterious!"
Xie Yunshan said arrogantly: "You will know in a moment, it will be a surprise!"
Huo Changming smiled foolishly and echoed, "That's right!"
Outside the door were Jiang Jichen and Hu Yan, who had come to join in the fun after hearing the news.
The cloth in front of Jiang An's eyes was untied, and she opened her eyes carefully.
The winding staircase in front of her was filled with things...
Flowers that shouldn't bloom in autumn bloomed in clusters before Jiang An's eyes; fist-sized, dazzling gems piled up into a small mountain; beautiful soft armor, weapons made by master craftsmen; various unique and precious toys, etc.
There are different surprises on each step.
There are ninety-nine steps here, representing ninety-nine kinds of gifts...
No wonder they couldn’t find anyone these days.
"Look stupid?"
Xie Yunshan poked the little girl's face with his hand, smiling gently and with his usual carefree attitude.
Jiang An blinked and thanked them very seriously.
They never said happy birthday to her, but they kept saying "Jiang An, happy birthday!" with every breath.
General Xie was not used to such embarrassing scenes, and pushed the girl upstairs.
"Let's go check out the presents first, let's go!"
There are many rare treasures among these gifts, and it is not easy to collect each one.
The blooming flowers all over the building were learned by Huo Changming when he became an apprentice to General Meng Bunen. Later, when he accompanied the girl on border patrols, this job was handed over to Li Xingsang.
As for these rare treasures, they were naturally found bit by bit by the wealthy Qi Xiaodongjia who paid for them and Xie Yunshan who provided his connections!
This scene was also secretly arranged by General Xie after staying up all night...
Jiang An had a birthday as peaceful as usual, yet full of surprises and love.
After nightfall, the party ended and everyone went back to the courtyard to rest after eating and drinking.
The little girl set off a prayer lantern in the yard alone...
Every year during the Lantern Festival, her father would take her to light lanterns. She was happy enough at that time, so her wish was the same every year...
I hope the flowers will bloom as usual and spring will come as usual; I hope the world will remain unchanged throughout the year with four seasons! I hope for world peace!
"This year Jiang An only made one wish... I hope Hu Yan lives a long life!"
She let go of her hand, and the bright prayer lantern rose into the sky, floating towards a distant place that Jiang An could not see.
The little girl looked up at the night sky, looking at the stars...
At this moment, she hoped that there were gods in the world who could hear her prayers.
After the birthday, soon... the new year is approaching.
Finally, there is news from Mobei...
Haibieji found a shaman, a shaman from the desert!
Her letter mentioned that this man once brought a dying general back to life on the battlefield.
The revived general led the tribal warriors to drive away the invaders...
The shaman saved a losing war.
Jiang An was not as excited as he had imagined after receiving the letter.
She immediately dispatched the secret team to investigate the shaman...
The little girl has to assure you... this person can really cure diseases and save lives, and it's not just Cang Mo's conspiracy.
She still remembered that when Nan Zhao and Shang Kingdom were at war, Cang Mo instigated Mo Bei to stir up trouble.
Although the death of the National Protection Army's military advisor could not undermine the tightly guarded northern defense line, it could still cause severe damage to the National Protection Army!
Jiang An made some moves, and Jiang Jichen soon got the news...
The prince did not stop it, and even began to deploy personnel in advance to prepare to bring the people mentioned by the King of Mobei back to the north.
Hu Yan was beside him when he was explaining things.
The two are playing a game of chess...
Hu Yan: "The new king of Mobei has been claiming to be ill, and the Mobei Army has not been active at the border this year."
"I don't know what she is planning with our little girl..."
He dropped a word and asked, "Does the prince know?"
The black piece in Jiang Jichen's hand fell and captured several of Hu Yan's pieces.
The chess pieces fell, making a crisp sound...
"You don't need to try to trick me. I don't know either."
Hu Yan frowned, "Your Majesty, don't you want to know?"
He is very curious!
"When the time comes, An will speak naturally."
Look...
Our prince who is in charge of the state has such an open-minded personality!
Hu Yan rolled his eyes at him and said insincerely, "Your Majesty, it will take three to five years to cultivate a character like this in the temple."
"Tsk..."
This old fox is becoming more and more arrogant, and now he even dares to make up stories about me!
Jiang Jichen snorted, "If you have nothing to do, go and help An and the other kids pack their bags!"
"The new year is approaching, and they will soon leave for Kyoto."
