Pu She saw him off for a hundred miles before saying goodbye.

Before leaving, Ulanhatu gave his personal golden sword to Li Xun.

Li Xun felt that this person was indeed interesting. For so many days, he had been playing with him, eating and drinking with him, and even wanted to give him several tall and beautiful concubines. Such a person was worth getting to know.

Ulanhatu hugged Li Xun and said solemnly: "Have a good trip. I hope we can meet again someday."

"Will do."

Li Xun nodded, someone else gave him a gift, but he wanted to reciprocate the gift anyway. He touched his body and found that he only had a few thousand taels of silver notes on his body. It would be a bit insulting to use this kind of thing as a gift in return. Li Xun also

Not that idiotic.

Touching his waist, he found a jade pendant there. It was smooth and smooth, and it looked like it was not ordinary. It was given to him by Zhao Zhi as a special reward for Li Xun's good performance in the last battle in Jiangnan.

"Hatu, I give this to you as a testimony of our friendship."

Wulanhatu took the jade pendant and saw at a glance that it was of great value, so he quickly returned it: "Li Xun, this thing is too valuable, I can't have it."

Li Xun pushed Ulanhatu's extended hand back with force, and said displeasedly: "Friends don't look at these external things, unless you think that I, Li Xun, am not a friend."

Ulanhatu nodded and accepted the jade pendant. At the same time, he felt a little ashamed. He could see that Li Xun was not pretending, but truly regarded him as a friend.

In fact, it was not his intention for Ulanhatu to befriend Li Xun, but Pushe asked him to do so. The reason is very simple. Li Xun's aunt is the imperial concubine Li Yi, the favorite concubine of the Jin Dynasty emperor Zhao Zhi. She was so young and

He has achieved the position of a fourth-grade general, and his future prospects are limitless. Letting his son make friends with Li Xun will definitely only bring benefits, not disadvantages.

After getting along with each other for these days, Ulanhatu got to know Li Xun a little bit. He has a free and easy personality, straightforward, carefree, informal, and very approachable. Ulanhatu also started to be perfunctory at the beginning, and slowly began to understand Li Xun's true nature.

As a friend, otherwise I wouldn’t have given him my beloved golden sword when I was leaving.

Ulan Hatu patted Li Xun on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "I have made you a friend. If you need it in the future, send someone with this knife to come to me. I will definitely help whoever I can."

Li Xun chuckled and said: "I have made you a friend. If you need it in the future, send someone with this jade pendant to come to me. If you can't help, I will definitely help."

Ulanhatu was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and Li Xun, both of them raised their heads and burst into laughter.

"Take care of yourself."

"the same as you."

The two said their last goodbyes.

Li Xun and others returned the same way, passing through Anbei, and met Li Zhong, and then everyone returned to Fengjing together.

There were 20,000 elite cavalry who returned with Li Zhong. As for Li Qingying, in the last few days in Mobei, someone from Anbei sent news that his mother was seriously ill. Li Qingying hurriedly returned to Anbei without Li Xun.

There was no time to say goodbye to her.

Li Zhong returned to Fengjing to report on his work.

Every year in July and August, many local officials will go to Beijing to report on their work, that is, report on their work. In remote areas, it is once every two years, but Li Zhong is an exception. He comes to Beijing every three years to report on his work.

It was two years ago. It was said that there was no need to return to Beijing to report on the work this year. However, the battle with Tubo and even the battle with the Dashi Empire led to great changes in the situation in Longyou. Militarily, brilliant results were indeed achieved, but politically,

But this is not the case. For example, the officials of the imperial court in Fengjing had a lot of discussion about this, and rumors spread. Li Zhong had to go back to deal with it, explain the situation, and appease the officials.

With the recovery of the seven states in Longyou, the 60,000 forbidden troops brought from Fengjing obviously cannot go back if they want to stay and guard the place. The military power of the capital has weakened. In order to make up for this shortcoming, Li Zhonghui

Use 20,000 Anbei elites to fill up the Forbidden Army.

Everyone passed through Fengzhou and Xiazhou and entered the pass.

Ten days later, on the sixth day of July, we finally arrived in Fengjing.

Twenty miles ahead was Fengjing City. Li Xun was riding on his horse and looked at both sides of the road. There were many people trotting to follow. Their faces were filled with happy smiles. Some people even came forward with food and presented it to them.

To the soldiers.

Li Xun asked in confusion: "Brother Shan, are these common people relatives of these soldiers?"

Shan Qiu chuckled and said, "Not entirely."

"Then what are they here for?"

Mao Anfu chuckled and said: "Of course our Jin army has achieved a great victory, and they are here to welcome us."

Li Xun frowned and said nothing. He had achieved great victory in the previous battle in Jiangnan, but he had never seen the people in Fengjing be so enthusiastic.

Shan Qiu saw Li Xun's confusion and said: "Li Xun, no matter who is right or wrong in the internal war, the Han people will die. No one wants to see this happen, but this time in the battle of Longyou,

All the people killed were foreigners, and the seven states of Longyou were recovered, which greatly increased the power of our Jin Dynasty. Many people have never experienced such a grand event in their lives, how can they not be happy?"

Li Xun nodded, somewhat understanding.

Ten miles away from Fengjing City, Li Zhong asked the army to stop and was about to order the troops to station on the spot.

Dozens of riders came quickly from a distance.

Jie Han, the left minister of the Ministry of War, rushed to the front.

"Your Highness Prince An, how have you been on your journey?"

Jie Han came closer, raised his hands to Li Zhong and smiled.

Jie Han is considered to be a semi-military general. Although he is a Jinshi, he served as the local governor for many years in his early years. At the beginning of this year, he was promoted from the governor of Xingyuan Prefecture to the left minister of the Ministry of War.

Li Zhong nodded: "Everything is fine, but His Majesty asked you to come?"

Jie Han smiled and said: "That's right. His Majesty asked me to come and deliver his instructions. His Majesty can lead the army directly into Fengjing City without stationing outside the city."

Li Zhong's whole body was shaken, and there was excitement on his face. He raised his hands in the direction of Fengjing and said, "Your Majesty, I am so kind to you. Li Zhong is very grateful."

Jie Han chuckled and said: "His Royal Highness, King An, come into the city quickly. Your Majesty has been looking forward to you for a long time!"

Li Zhong nodded heavily, raised his hand and waved vigorously: "The army is entering the city."

The army entered Fengjing City, and the city became even more lively.

Both sides of the street were crowded with people. When Li Zhong and others arrived, the people on both sides suddenly burst into cheers, clapped their hands loudly, and uttered words of admiration.

Li Xun looked around. All the soldiers straightened their backs and their faces were filled with pride. Even Shan Qiu and Mao Anfu, who had always been calm and calm, had more or less this look on their faces.

"Uncle, can you let me touch your sword?"

A teenage boy ran up to Li Xun, raised his head and shouted loudly.

The boy's father rushed over at this time, hugged his son quickly, and said to Li Xun with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, the child is not sensible, please forgive me, general."

Li Xun smiled, stopped his horse, took off the long sword from his waist and handed it out: "It's a small request, but it's nothing important."

The boy broke away from his father, stepped forward to take the sword, and stroked it with envy.

"You brat, that's enough. Return it to the general."

The boy's father urged him softly.

The boy reluctantly returned the sword to Li Xun, and said with admiration: "When I grow up, I must be like my uncle, wearing a strong sword and protecting the country and family."
