Lord of Nine Stars

Stone courtyard - in front of the courtyard gate.

Two Qingshan Army soldiers who were on guard duty heard the light footsteps from behind and couldn't help but cheer up and hold their heads high.

"Happy New Year, brothers." Rong Taotao held two large bowls with chopsticks on them. As he spoke, he quickly came to the courtyard gate and handed a large bowl to the soldier standing guard on the left.

Qingshan Jun did not hesitate and hurriedly took the bowls and chopsticks handed over by the young leader.

The big steaming bowl was filled with large stuffed dumplings. There was soup at the bottom of the bowl, and the porcelain bowl was still a little hot.

"When will you two change the guard?" Rong Taotao asked, walking towards the soldiers standing guard on the right side of the courtyard gate.

"Report! 0 o'clock!"

"Ah, then you two should take care of your stomach first. Remember to go to the cafeteria after get off work. I've prepared a New Year's Eve dinner for you." As he spoke, Rong Taotao smiled.

Celebrating the New Year in the army is like opening a blind box.

Because the changing of guard time within the Qingshan Army is almost the same, after 24:00, a group of soldiers who have been rotated will go to the canteen.

This year, who the soldiers spend time with depends on how they are arranged.

But they are all Qingshan Army's own brothers, so it doesn't matter who they live with.

At the entrance of the courtyard, two soldiers held bowls and chopsticks and looked at each other.

Rong Taotao also came to his senses and said with a smile: "Eat quickly and follow the order."

Upon hearing what Rong Taotao said, the two warriors did not dare to hesitate any longer. They stood at the gate of the courtyard, holding bowls and started eating.

There were twenty large stuffed dumplings in a bowl, including soup and water, and they were all eaten by two strong men in no time.

"Thank you for your hard work." Rong Taotao took back the bowls and chopsticks and turned back to the small stone room.

Precisely because Rong Taotao also had the experience of standing guard at night, he knew how hard it was for him to work here.

Back then, when the Qingshan Army had not yet risen, Rong Taotao followed the Three Walls garrison and worked on the Wan'anguan City Wall for four months.

Having said that, such unshakable shifts back and forth day and night did make Rong Taotao behave a lot.

Under the falling snow, Rong Taotao passed by two archangel sculptures and replaced their hands with a new Hoshino Soul Skill Star Lamp before continuing to walk home.

In front of the window of the living room on the first floor, a girl was looking at him as he returned.

Due to the backlight, the warm light only reflected the outline of her body, but Rong Taotao could feel that her eyes should be very gentle.

When Rong Taotao walked to the two Rong Ling ice sculptures, the girl in front of the window also disappeared.

Rong Taotao stepped forward and the door had already opened before he could open it.

"It's very clean." Gao Lingwei reached out and took the two big bowls. At her feet, the velvet cat and Yunyun dogs had already brought the cotton slippers for Rong Taotao.

Rong Taotao lowered his head and changed his shoes: "It's an order, why can't I eat cleanly? I'm always allowed to put on official airs."

Gao Lingwei smiled and glared at Rong Taotao, then turned and walked towards the restaurant.

Rong Taotao looked around. The entrance to the small stone house was the living room, and the inside of the house was clearly visible.

Jin Yu was lying on her side on the carpet, leaning against Yue Yue Leopard lying beside her, holding a small remote control in her hand and watching the TV curiously.

She was indeed wronged in this human structure.

Even the huge Rongling could straighten his back and stand up, but Jinyu could not stand up.

However, looking at her lazily enjoying herself, she wasn't that aggrieved.

As Rong Taotao entered the living room, the little guy playing at his feet also jumped onto the coffee table and jumped on Jinyu's body.

The huge convex and concave goddess statue immediately turned into an amusement park for kittens and puppies.

At the same time, the peacefully resting Yueyue Leopard has also become an amusement ride. The three little guys are chasing each other and barking wildly.

Since Cheng Yuan, an ordinary person, was at home, Jinyu was not wearing silk and mist clothes made of frost and snow, which would cause the temperature in the house to drop sharply. Jinyu is wearing the dress of the Queen of Tsarist Russia custom-made for her by the Manlie family.

The pale golden dress is extremely gorgeous, and combined with her noble and charming appearance, it is as beautiful as an unrealistic dream.

This beauty was also broken by the bulging skirt.

Rong Taotao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, because Yunyun dogs are very good at choosing places. While chasing and playing, a Yunyun dog got into Jinyu's long skirt, all the way up.

Along with it, another cloud dog and velvet cat got in and climbed all the way up.

Rong Taotao was not sure who the leading Yunyun dog belonged to.

What bad thoughts can a dog have?

It's just trying to hide and seek.

Until Yunyun Dog climbed over the mountains and ridges, a little head popped up on Jinyu's chest, spitting out its pink tongue, with a happy smile on its face.

"Haha~" Jinyu couldn't help laughing, and gently tapped the furry little head with his finger.

Afterwards, Yunyun Dog was knocked down, the three little guys rolled into a ball, and the entire northwestern Shanxi became a mess.

"What are you looking at?" Gao Lingwei's voice suddenly came from beside him.

Rong Taotao pointed to the Yunyun dog rolling on Jinyu's chest: "Tell me, how could there be such a cute dog?"

Gao Lingwei: "."

"Where are dad and the others?" Rong Taotao asked.

The living room and dining room are both open-plan. Rong Taotao only saw his mother and sister-in-law working in the restaurant, but not his two fathers.

Gao Lingwei: "The two fathers went to the study on the second floor to play chess. Brother Yangyang just came over with tea."

"Rongling went too?"

Gao Lingwei: "Rong Ling and Meng Mengxiao have gone somewhere."

"Oh, by the way, Dawei." Rong Taotao whispered, "You know I am spiritually connected to my brother."

"Um."

Rong Taotao: "You also know that my brother is a soldier with excellent qualities."

Gao Lingwei: "So?"

Rong Taotao: "He will inevitably see and know some information.

It's just that we didn't tell him explicitly, so Brother Yangyang just kept pretending not to know and didn't ask us. "

Gao Lingwei nodded lightly and whispered: "Then you should take the opportunity to talk to him."

"Taotao." Suddenly, Jinyu's soft voice came from beside her.

"Eh?" Rong Taotao turned around and saw a peeled ugly orange in Jin Yu's palm.

The large ugly orange looked like a grape in her hand. I really don’t know how she opened it.

What's even more interesting is that the three little guys looked at Jinyu longingly, especially the two Yunyun dogs. Yunduo's tails were almost shaking like propellers, but they still couldn't get Jinyu's favor.

I thought the oranges were for them, but unexpectedly, they were actually for the owner.

"Thank you." Rong Taotao stepped forward and reached out to take the orange. At the same time, a voice suddenly left his mind.

"You don't have to tell me."

Rongyang's voice was as gentle as ever: "Dad has also emphasized many times not to tell others this news. Don't worry, Taotao, I will keep this secret for you."

"Yeah" Rong Taotao smiled helplessly.

Under the pitiful gazes of the three little guys, Rong Taotao actually put the orange segment into his mouth.

His thoughts were clearly not on his pet. Now that Brother Yangyang has made everything clear, Rong Taotao is relieved.

Thinking about it, the two brothers are always connected in spirit, and his brother cares about him so much that he always comes to check on the situation. How could he not know?

Not every time they talk about this matter, Rong Taotao will cut off the spiritual connection between the two brothers. There are always times when things happen suddenly.

And cutting off contact is obviously an attempt to cover up. As early as when Rong Taotao and Xu Fenghua took the Crystal Dragon Group and returned to the Snow Realm from the Cloud Peak Planet, Rong Taotao and his mother suddenly cut off their spiritual connection after chatting, which already indicated a big problem.

In the subsequent work and life, this topic will be mentioned all the time and filled in Rong Taotao's journey. Even if Rong Yang doesn't know the specific details, he at least knows the general outline.

Rong Taotao hesitated for a moment and asked in his mind: "Do you have anything to ask?"

There was silence in my mind.

It wasn't until Rong Taotao finished the orange mechanically that Rong Yang said, "Father, mother, Ling Wei and I are all your strong backing.

If you need anything at any time, remember, I am always by your side and always ready. "

"Yeah" Rong Taotao breathed a deep sigh of relief. The warmth of family that he had not experienced when he was young was all made up for in the process of growing up.

Facts have proved that whether it is father or brother, they really just don't have time and can't help themselves. The love deep in their hearts is always there.

Seeing Rong Taotao's reaction, Gao Lingwei also realized something, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and whispered: "Have we chatted?"

"Ah, let's talk." As Rong Taotao spoke, Yunyun Dog jumped into his arms, licking his palm with its pink and tender tongue, looking for possible orange juice.

"Don't worry, he's not angry." Rong Taotao leaned over the coffee table and picked up an orange, being a good master and picking the orange for his pet.

Seeing this scene, the Snow Velvet Cat and another Yunyun Dog also came over and jumped on his knees. The three little guys raised their little heads and looked at Rong Taotao pitifully, waiting for his food. .

Rong Taotao looked strange. He was not sure if these three little guys would explode if he ate this orange again.

The family was having a good time, and as it approached eight o'clock, Yang Chunxi's gentle voice came from the restaurant: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat, Taotao, ask the dads to come down for dinner."

"Okay~"

Rong Taotao, however, had no intention of going upstairs. As he rushed to the restaurant, he informed Rong Yang in his mind.

The kitchen was originally open, so Rong Taotao walked over looking for the aroma. There was a table full of dishes, which made Rong Taotao's appetite whet his appetite!

"Shh." Cheng Yuan took advantage of the time when the dishes were being arranged to give a silent command, picked up a small crispy fish on the plate, and stuffed it into Rong Taotao's mouth.

"Kachi~kachi." Rong Taotao nodded repeatedly and chewed big mouthfuls.

It happened that Yang Chunxi came over with chopsticks, looked at Rong Taotao with a bulging face, slapped Rong Taotao on the back of his hand, and said with an angry look on his face: "Don't wash your hands!"

Rong Taotao: "."

I don’t have any hands either?

Cheng Yuan felt bad, turned around and left, continuing to serve the dishes.

Gao Lingwei, who took everything in her eyes, couldn't help but laugh out loud. She never expected that there would be a time in her life when her mother would feel guilty about being a thief.

A table full of good wine and delicious food, steaming hot and full of aroma.

As everyone took their seats, Rong Taotao also felt that his life schedule was almost full.

After eating this meal, this life will be complete.

"Dad, Mom, uncles and aunties." Unexpectedly, after the family members sat down one after another, it was Rong Yang who spoke first at the table.

For a moment, Xu Fenghua looked at Rong Yang in surprise. This mature and steady son always acted well in front of his parents and didn't talk much.

With Gao Qingchen and Rong Yuanshan here, the first words at the table were not what juniors like Rong Yangyang and Rong Taotao should say.

This is not a hard and fast rule, but more of a matter of courtesy and respect.

While Rongyang was talking, Yang Chunxi had already stood up and left the table to get something.

Rongyang said: "Before going home, we were ordered to go to the command headquarters. He Siling asked me to hand over something to my mother, Taotao and Ling Wei."

Rong Taotao's heart moved, and he seemed to realize something.

Yang Chunxi, who returned with the things, also handed certificates and small square boxes to the mother and son.

Xu Fenghua couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "It's not in line with the rules, but it fits the atmosphere."

"Obtained the Snow Burning Army's first-class Astrolabe Snowflake Medal, with a potential value of +10."

Rong Taotao touched the exquisite snowflake medal. If nothing else, this should be their merit medal for solving the dilemma of the whirlpool at the top of the cloud, retrieving the snow lotus, and escorting the crystal dragons back home.

"Haha." Rong Yuanshan laughed heartily. It could be seen that he was really happy. "Is this the care given to you by your superiors? Is this also a New Year gift?"

Xu Fenghua nodded with approval: "Although Taotao and Ling Wei fought for it themselves, at this point in time, it can indeed be regarded as a New Year gift."

Gao Qingchen looked at his children with pride, especially his daughter who was sharing the merit medal with Cheng Yuan. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, double happiness, okay!"

Rong Yuanshan: "Taotao, fill it up for your father quickly."

Gao Qingchen covered the small wine glass with his cold hand: "Pour it for your dad first."

Rong Taotao: "."

For a moment, everyone at the table looked at Rong Taotao with mocking expressions on their faces, waiting for Rong Taotao's next move.

Rong Taotao was also a little confused!

Good guy~

Waiting for the boss, I have to call Yaolian Tao back to pour wine for you two?

"Report!" Jiao Tengda's voice suddenly came from the door of the restaurant, "Wan'an Pass headquarters issued an order."

Everyone turned to look and heard that it was a letter from the headquarters. In addition, He Siling had just presented a "New Year's gift", so at the first moment, everyone was in a very good mood and looked forward to it.

However, when Rong Taotao saw Jiao Tenda's solemn expression, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Don't?

Something will happen on New Year's Eve?

This son of a bitch world is playing tricks on me! ?

Gao Qingchen: "Say."

Jiao Tengda: "The superior ordered Rong Taotao to contact the Star Candle Army immediately to communicate about the Dark Abyss Dragon Clan's mission. Be prepared, be on standby, and obey the call."

"Cup!" Rong Taotao was so angry that his hands were trembling, "Cup, give me the wine glass quickly, I've decided to pour this wine!"

Rong Yang was startled and hurriedly helped Rong Taotao open the lid of the wine.

Rong Yuanshan and Gao Qingchen looked at each other, no longer modest, and handed over their wine glasses.
