"Well, what I'm saying is that we have spent so much effort, and there is no merit but hard work. When we come back to the Holy Master, it can be regarded as a worthwhile trip."

"Hey, we don't expect to get rich by getting promoted. If the Holy Father can praise me a few words, I can still explain to my ancestors."

"Stop talking, stop talking, drink, drink, do it!"

"Hiccup, done!"

"..."

Jing Heng was conscious and did not care about some of their outrageous words. He just drank the familiar wine, but his homesickness became more and more serious. He imagined more than once what the family and the children were doing at this moment, whether it was like him.

As much as I miss them, I also miss him.

Unknowingly, the wine bottle in his hand was empty, but he felt that he was getting more and more awake, and he was frantically calculating the return date. He wanted to summon everyone to stand up and set the return date immediately, but he tried his best to restrain this thought.

Not long after, the drunken deputy said: "Sir, my lord, the New Year's Eve is coming, and I'm thinking that I'm very homesick. I'd like to have the guts to ask you for some advice.

Let them go out and play happily for two days."

Jing Heng frowned: "There are nearly 1,500 people in the entire caravan. They don't understand the language here and may easily cause trouble. It's not appropriate to let them out."

Another deputy envoy said: "It's really, really hard for the navy brothers to guard the ships and cargo day after day."

Jing Heng shook his head and rejected their proposal: "When I return to the capital in the future, I will ask the Holy Lord for a palace for them. Now I am waiting on someone else's territory, so I should be careful in everything."

Along the way, although we have not yet encountered the pirates who robbed the ship, the news that they have a large amount of cargo has probably spread here. If you are not careful, someone may take advantage of the loophole. How can you be careless?

The two deputy envoys had worked with Jing Heng for half a year and had some understanding of his temperament. Seeing that he refused to agree, they did not dare to say anything, so they began to flatter him: "My lord, what you said is absolutely true. It was the lower officials who were rash.

"

Jing Heng shook his head and said he didn't blame him.

The two lieutenants breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to pour him wine and toast him.

Facts have proved that Jingheng's concerns were correct. When the caravan successfully entered the port, they were targeted by local pirates. On New Year's Eve, when everyone was homesick, a group of people boarded the ship in the dark.

, intending to drug the navy troops stationed there, but was discovered.

At that time, the two sides fought together in the port, repelling a fierce pirate group of 300 people, leaving corpses all over the ground. There were also casualties on the caravan side, which cast a layer of loneliness on this lonely New Year.

Deep sadness.

After the New Year, the twins celebrated their third birthday. The two little guys received many gifts, including two emerald pigs sent by Emperor Yuanhe.

I probably heard somewhere that twins like piglets, so I ordered someone to make a pair.

Momo liked it very much. After knowing that his jade pig could buy him more candy bars than he could eat in his life, he liked it even more. He asked Qin Xiaoxiao to help him put it away carefully, for fear of breaking it.

Nao Nao's reaction was very average. He had no special preferences. He took one look at it and asked Qin Xiaoxiao to put it away. When Qin Xiaoxiao joked that he would save it for him to marry a wife in the future, he even showed a look of disgust.

, which means throwing it away.

Naturally, the gift given by the emperor cannot be thrown away. Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the two jade pigs, and it was difficult not to guess the thoughts of Emperor Yuan He. However, the Holy Heart is unpredictable, and she did not dare to make random guesses. Maybe it was just her overthinking.

.

Watching the two little guys finish eating the longevity noodles, Qin Xiaoxiao took out four birthday gifts at once, pointed at two of the gift boxes and said: "Here, this is a gift sent back by your father. See if you like it."

.”

The twins opened their eyes in unison and stared blankly at the beautiful box placed in front of them, unable to believe that they could receive a gift from their father.

"Mom, when did dad send someone to deliver it, why didn't I know?" Mo Mo held the gift box like a treasure but did not open it. Instead, he asked questions eagerly.

Nao Nao didn't ask, but looked at her mother eagerly, waiting for the answer.

"It was delivered early this morning. You two were still sleeping, so I didn't wake you up." Qin Xiaoxiao deceived the two children without any burden, and would not tell them that she had prepared these two gifts in advance.

Seeing the two little guys competing with the back of the chair every day, she could only think of this way to comfort them.

After listening silently, he said dejectedly: "I slept in~"

Princess Protector knew the truth and comforted the little guy: "It doesn't matter. Next time your father comes back with gifts, he will definitely wake you and your brother up."

Mo Mo felt a little happier and said in a sweet voice, "Grandma, you must remember to call me~"

Princess Protector smiled and said: "Grandma must remember it! Open the box with your brother and see what gift dad gave you."

Mo Mo smiled brightly and said to Nao Nao: "Brother, can we open it together?"

"Yes!" Nao Nao nodded heavily and held the latch on the lid with his little hand.

The two brothers opened the box almost at the same time and saw a bunch of strange colored wooden boards inside. They had no idea what they were.

"This is called a color jigsaw puzzle. It can be made into various small animals, including kittens, puppies, and chickens." Qin Xiaoxiao explained while taking out a few colorful jigsaw puzzles in front of them and putting them together on the dining table.

A kitten came out.

"Wow--"
