Although Mr. Fenghan lived with lighters and dogs all his life, he had fought against two unreliable emperors. His passion was repeatedly suppressed all his life, but he never shed a drop of it. When his country was on the verge of collapse, he held up the soul of Lingshu with his stinky and hard old bones.

"What a pity, ugh." Gu Yun put away the Black Eagle Armor, spat out a mouthful of sand, and said expressionlessly, "There is no successor - this fat Ge is even less reliable than Lord Fenghan who produced a Lady Cao... That kid, can you do it, or I'll carry you?"

The little Lingshu beside him was almost scared to tears. He did not dare to trouble Marquis Anding at all, and limped and shook his head into a spinning fire wing.

In front of them was the deserted grassland outside the Great Wall, and behind them was a pile of burnt copper and iron that was unrecognizable. Anding Hou leaned on the awning and glanced in the direction of the sun, then waved his hand helplessly: "I know this place well, come with me. Instead of going back to the capital to enjoy the good life, you have to join in the fun of you unfortunate kids. I have nothing to do either."

This is a long story...

The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and Marshal Gu, who was inspecting the border, was delayed for a few days by border defense affairs. By the time he was about to set off, it was already August 13th, and the steam railway in the west was still under construction. If he wanted to celebrate the festival with Chang Geng in time, he had to use the Black Eagle Armor to fly back directly.

Chang Geng was reluctant to let him travel so much, so he found an excuse to leave Beijing early and sent someone to tell him not to rush back.

In the past few years, the country has been peaceful and the people have been safe. With Gu Yun in charge, there are naturally no wars to fight. The enthusiasm of Lingshu Academy has been used to mess around. They have created a combination of a black eagle and a giant kite. The name has not yet been decided, and they are still experimenting in the sparsely populated northwest border. This thing looks very similar to the wooden bird used by Linyuan Pavilion to pass on letters. It has a big head and a big belly, and can bear more than 20 black armors.

When the idle Marshal Gu heard that Lingshuyuan was walking his birds in the northwest, he became curious and ran over to watch.

"Giant kites, even those who eat shit can't catch up with the hot ones. It takes half a year to get out of the customs. It's slow and wastes purple gold. What use can it have except showing off the country's power? Eagles are fast, but they travel alone, have limited carrying capacity, and not everyone can control them. It's also painful for people to fly long distances." Ge Chen shook his head and showed off to Marquis Anding, "Our new thing has both speed and load capacity. It can also be used for civilian purposes in the future. It's specially made to kill people like Lao Du. My Lord, it's better to come at the right time than to come early. We just succeeded in the test flight. Would you like to go up and take a look?"

It was common for Gu Yun to wander around wearing the Black Eagle Armor. He thought to himself, isn't it just the last time, he can fly left or right without suffering any loss or being fooled, so he gladly accepted the invitation.

...As a result, during the holiday season, he really got into trouble.

The Black Eagle Armor needs to keep its balance by itself, but this big-bellied wooden bird is in someone else's hands. The one who flew the wooden bird into the sky is a little Lingshu, who looks to be about 18 or 19 years old. He dared not even breathe when he saw Gu Yun, and seemed quite unreliable. Marshal Gu looked at the little round face, feeling a little suspicious. Before he could sit still, the wooden bird flew into the sky like a white rainbow arrow. This thing has a big belly, but its speed is not much slower than that of the Black Eagle. It made a shrill sound in the sky and flew to a deserted place in the wilderness.

Unlike the slow giant kite, and also unlike the black eagle armor that was still blown by the cold wind even with a mask on, it was refreshing. Gu Yun flew a circle and was very happy, and asked the little spiritual axis to fly higher and farther. Unexpectedly, a real bird happened to fly by on the way. When it saw this thing, it thought it had run into a spirit ancestor in broad daylight, so it forgot to flap its wings and crashed into it.

In order to reduce the weight, the wooden bird was not as solid as the black eagle armor. During the high-speed flight, it was directly hit by a small bird the size of a palm, and its wings were pierced through. The golden box immediately exploded into fireworks, and Gu Yun in the wooden bird's belly was almost thrown out. The wooden bird, which seemed to be flying high into the sky, fell from the sky, with a billowing trail of thick smoke on its tail, and headed straight to the north.

Fortunately, there was an eagle armor on the tail of Gu Yun's wooden bird. At the critical moment, Gu Yun grabbed the small spiritual pivot, poked open the belly of the wooden bird, and jumped down with the eagle armor on his back before the wooden bird hit the ground. Unfortunately, the eagle armor had been in disrepair for a long time and could not bear the weight of two people. After Gu Yun barely stabilized himself, he flew a hundred feet almost close to the ground, and there was a loud "bang" behind him.

The wooden bird was fried into a mushy mess.

Poor Ge Chen waited for a long time, but Marquis Anding went away on his bird and never came back. He was so frightened that he lost his mind. While crying and asking someone to write an urgent letter to Chang Geng, he rode his horse north in a hurry to search for Marquis Anding.

"The giant kite is slow, but it won't fall down." Gu Yun quickly removed a wing from the eagle armor and used it as a crutch for the little Lingshu. "Come here and I'll help you. Hey, I don't bite, don't be afraid."

Little Lingshu was no more than twenty years old. When Gu Yun defended the capital and recovered the four borders, he was still a child. He grew up listening to the legend of this man, and never thought that one day he would be able to see the real person... He almost fell into the grass pit with the real person. He was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He let Gu Yun hold him tremblingly. He didn't dare to breathe for a long time, and his legs were weak from holding his breath.

"Hey," Gu Yun saw that little Lingshu fell to one side, raised his hand and grabbed the back of his neck, "I was wondering if Lingshu Hospital had withheld your food rations, why are you so weak at such a young age?"

Because the wooden bird slid a long way after being hit, the place where it fell was very delicate. It was probably out of the boundary of the beam. Now the wooden bird had been burned. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was not advisable to stay for long. With such a burden, Gu Yun could not walk fast. The two of them had been walking in the uninhabited grassland for a day.

Little Lingshu knew that he had become a burden and was in such an awkward situation that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself along the way. As the sun was setting, he was about to cry: "My Lord, why don't you just leave me behind and go first, and then find someone to pick me up later, I...I..."

"Your life is in danger, why are you still crying?" Gu Yun joined the army at the age of fifteen, and he had never seen such a crybaby. His head became twice as big as before, and he raised his hand and pointed, "Look, isn't there a human habitation over there?"

Although Gu Yun's poison wound had been cured, it was too late to reverse the situation. It was dark and he still couldn't see clearly. He was just walking by feeling and didn't see anything. He just pointed at the child to comfort him. Unexpectedly, the little Lingshu heard it, wiped his eyes hard, and screamed: "My Lord, there is really smoke!"

Gu Yun: “…”

The further they walked, the more familiar the surroundings seemed to Gu Yun. Gradually, there was a sense of life. He looked at the underground river that led from the outskirts of the Great Wall to the town, and suddenly stopped. It suddenly dawned on him that they had arrived at Yanhui!

The small town of Yanhui has changed a lot. The original site of the ancient town has become part of the border trade area. The old neighbors in the town have moved 15 miles south. People are coming and going on both sides of the underground river, and there are many merchants from the north and south. It is no longer the poor and remote place it used to be. Gu Yun is not afraid of being recognized on the street. He found a small shop that treats injuries and puts the lame little Lingshu down, then goes out for a stroll. He sees a hawker from afar selling osmanthus sugar cakes by the underground river. He remembers that Chang Geng liked this when he lived in Jiangnan when he was young, so he buys three taels.

Then, he noticed that people and vehicles were all rushing towards Jiangjun Slope, and he felt a little curious - in the past, the locals thought that Jiangjun Slope was an ominous sign - so he followed with great interest to find out what was going on.

At some point, a small ancestral temple was built on the originally deserted Jiangjunpo, which became very popular and attracted a constant stream of tourists who came to burn incense.

Gu Yun caught a vendor selling incense and candles and asked him, "What kind of temple is this? Which deity is it worshipping?"

The vendor replied enthusiastically, "We are worshipping the mountain god. Sir, is this your first time here? You may not know this, but this mountain is called 'General Slope', and it is the most famous place in Yanhui. In the early years, the three divisions of the Black Iron Army returned to the court and abandoned their discarded armor here, which formed a hill. In those days, Marshal Gu captured Gala Yinghuo alive in Yanhui Town and brought back the fourth prince, who is now the emperor. I heard that the emperor often practiced swordsmanship on General Slope when he was young. Think about it, this hill is blessed by the three divisions of the Black Iron Army, and there is the aura of a real dragon. With the help of the emperor, how can it not be effective?"

Gu Yun was proud of it and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it works."

The vendor then struck while the iron was hot and said, "You should also buy a stick of incense and pray, and your wish will come true."

"Thank you for your good wishes." Gu Yun found it interesting, so he reached out to touch the change, intending to worship the true dragon spirit left by his ancestor Chang Geng, and asked casually, "What are they praying for, to get a place on the imperial examination? Since it's Jiangjun Hill, it's more effective to pray for the top martial arts champion than the top literary champion, right?"

The vendor waved his hand and said, "That is for the Bodhisattvas to take care of, not us mountain gods."

"What does the mountain god care about?"

"Promotion, wealth, marriage, and even children!" The vendor said with a smile, "How many wives and concubines does your master have? How many children do you have? Do you have both sons and daughters? If everything is already perfect, why not pray for your relatives and friends! Do a favor, it will definitely work!"

Gu Yun: “…”

"Hey, master, don't go! If you don't want to have a child, asking about getting rich is also very effective. I guarantee that you will have good luck and a lot of money next year. You can also ask about your marriage! I see that you are handsome and have peach blossoms in your eyes. You will be entangled with peach blossoms for the rest of your life..."

Gu Yun laughed and scolded: "Go to hell!"

He was both amused and confused. On the battlefield of Liangjiang that year, he chatted with Shen Jiping and said that he "would like to stick to his family and country and become a famous general in the world." A hundred years later, the people would confer the title of a divine general on him, make a living from incense and offerings, and do business like "swindler, matchmaker, and fertility-giving Guanyin."

Unexpectedly, within less than a hundred years, the small hill where Chang Geng practiced swordsmanship would receive this honor.

Gu Yun released the wooden bird, informed Ge Pangxiao and his men, and found an inn to rest. When he looked up and saw the moon like a silver plate, he was surprised to realize that it was already Mid-Autumn Festival night. Everyone had gone home to reunite with their families. No wonder the inn was so quiet.

It has been less than twenty years since he picked up the dying little Chang Geng outside Yanhui City. Time has passed like water.

Gu Yun seemed to have sensed something in his heart, so he used the force to leap onto the roof, took out a white jade flute that he carried with him, put it to his lips and started playing... and he didn't even go out of tune.

This was written for him by Chang Geng on a whim one year. Marshal Gu took three years to learn one piece of music, and during that time he tortured Chang Geng to the point that he almost became an immortal. He wished he could chop off his own dragon claws that were causing trouble, and at one point he got a migraine when he saw the white jade flute.

At this moment, a long cry suddenly came from the sky, and several Black Eagle Armor flew down. Gu Yun looked up in surprise: "These guys came so quickly..."

Before he could finish the word "fast", a leading Black Eagle suddenly swooped down, and a strong wind swept past, almost blinding Gu Yun. The next moment, someone grabbed his collar, and under the huge power of the purple gold, Gu Yun was lifted up off the ground with his feet. With a "whoosh", the rows of wind lanterns in the inn were extinguished by the eagle's wings.

Before Gu Yun could see who was so audacious, he heard someone beside him say angrily, "Gu Zixi!"

Gu Yun was startled, and suddenly turned his head to see clearly the emperor who was said to be "out on patrol": "You are not..."

The Black Eagles following Chang Geng landed on the ground and knelt on one knee with a "whoosh".

Chang Geng couldn't bear to see him running around, so he decided to run around himself, so he flew all the way here in the Black Eagle Armor, intending to give him a surprise. However, before he even reached the Northwest Camp, he was frightened to death by the news from Ge Chen. Now his hands were still shaking, and he couldn't speak for a while.

When Gu Yun saw that he was covered in dust, he immediately guessed that it was almost certain. He thought to himself, "Oh no!" It must be that he had criticized the general Poshan God, which angered the god and sent this person here - it was both his peach blossom and his disaster.

He waved his hand to disperse the black eagles, and quickly stepped forward, holding Chang Geng's elbow, and continued the first half of his sentence in a slick way: "Aren't you a deity from the Moon Palace? Why did you sneak down here?"

Chang Geng suddenly threw his hand away... but failed to shake him off. He laughed in anger: "Don't give me that. Let me go!"

Gu Yun used his strength to pull him into his arms: "Don't let go. Now that you are in my hands, don't even think about joining the immortal class again in this world."

Chang Geng glared at him, but when he saw the face he hadn't seen for three months, his raised brows and erect eyes collapsed halfway.

"I was thinking, if the wooden bird is really made, wouldn't I be able to go back and see you next Mid-Autumn Festival?" Gu Yun continued, staring at him intently, "Don't blame Xiao Ge, ok?"

Chang Geng had always been very lenient with him, and after hearing those soft words, the anger on his face collapsed by half, and he could only keep a straight face.

"Besides, don't I carry the Eagle Armor with me? I must know it's foolproof. How dare I make you anxious?" Gu Yun curved his eyebrows and used his trump card. He took out an oil paper bag from his arms. Before he opened it, the scent of osmanthus was already wafting out. "Look, what is this."

Chang Geng: “…”

Gu Yun held his hand tightly and pressed on: "Otherwise you won't have a chance to go back to Yanhui to take a look. Do you still remember this?"

Chang Geng carefully took the osmanthus sugar cake into his arms, a complicated expression flashed across his face, and then he said unhappily: "Remember, I still remember that you were deaf and blind, and you insisted on squeezing into the crowd to go to the market, and almost fell into the underground river..."

When he said this, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and glared at Gu Yun, "I was so worried about you twenty years ago, how come you are still like this twenty years later, without any improvement?"

Gu Yun laughed and dragged him out: "I have improved, isn't that enough? Come on, I'll take you to visit the new Yanhui Town. There won't be any strangers here to join in the fun today, just the two of us."

"Sweet talk is considered progress? You..."

Before Chang Geng could finish his words, he heard a voice of sobbing and sighing on the wind: "My Lord..."

Ge Chen came.

Gu Yun pulled Chang Geng and went out from the back door of the inn: "The outsiders are here as they say, let's go!"

Chang Geng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was dragged by him into the alley.

Gu Yun turned left and right, leaving Ge Chen behind, and announced with a sly smile: "I will take you from one end to the other, along the dark river to the north, Jiangjunpo is lively. The dark river is open tonight, and there are many cruise ships. We can take a boat back."

Chang Geng smiled and said, "We can also go by boat."

"Hmm, what?" Gu Yun was stunned, and then he heard a familiar sound of piano. He turned his head suddenly and saw Shen Yi with his beloved son sitting on his shoulder on a huge pleasure boat in the middle of the dark river. He was nodding his head and listening to Miss Chen playing the piano. When he met his gaze, he bowed to him from a distance and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth, which was particularly conspicuous under the night river with flowing lights.

"General!" Several black eagle armors landed on Shen Yi's pleasure boat. The one in the lead with the loudest voice was Lao He. He was holding the wooden bird that Gu Yun had released earlier, and he was so happy that his mouth was about to burst. "I heard that you fell down while walking the bird, hahaha!"

Gu Yun: “…”

It was rare to see this man so angry, Chang Geng couldn't help but smile.

The sound of water rumbling in the underground river and the shadows of the trees dancing in the clear moonlight, he looked around and found that the place where he grew up was a little unrecognizable to him.

The barbarians have been wiped out and the expedition is over.

The autumn wind cannot blow away the bright moon, and now, the moon is full and people are together, and the world has changed.
