Before the army returned to the court, all the injured generals were sent back to Beijing first.

Hongye personally escorted King An. The two of them had an intersection. At that time, everyone had their own ulterior motives. Who would have thought that one day they would go to the battlefield to defend Northern Tang?

King Wei and King Shun accompanied the team to protect the three giants. They returned with the team, leaving behind 100,000 soldiers at the border, and the rest returned to Beijing first.

When Prince An returned to Beijing, Princess An had already learned that he was injured in front of the formation and had one arm damaged. Therefore, when Hongye and others escorted him back to Beijing, they reported their itinerary and arrived in the capital. Princess An brought his daughter Princess An to greet him at the city gate.

The setting sun shone on Princess An's tears in her eyes. Her lips were filled with a trembling smile and she watched the light cavalry arrive slowly as she watched the city gate arrive.

She held An Zhi in her hand and didn't get off the carriage, just waiting for him to come.

King An is now basically injuring. Seeing the princess greeting the city gate, he wiped the stubble on his face randomly, smiled from afar, walked forward immediately, took a deep look, then turned over and fell off the horse, and quickly stepped forward.

He first picked up An Zhi, and An Zhi was already asleep. After her father came over, she woke up for a moment, glanced blankly, and then fell asleep again. King An covered his head and kissed her on the cheek. The stubble on his face made her uncomfortable. He woke up with a sensation all over his body, took another look, and pouted and fell asleep again.

Prince An laughed, asked An Zhi to hold the wet nurse away, stared at Princess An, and said hoarsely: "I'm back!" Princess An tried not to look at his empty arms, but focused on his face. The tears she had to hold back still slid down her cheeks, and even said: "Okay, it's good to come back, I'm proud of you!"

He hugged her in one hand, and Princess An's nose felt sore. She smelled the wind and frost of war on his body, stretched out her hands and hugged him tightly, murmured: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"

Hongye rode his horse and took a light look, "I'll leave first!"

No one paid attention to him, a single dog. People around him walked by, and they were also seeing the loving couple. However, the city gate guard handed him a pole of dry tobacco and hot tea and said a few flattering words.

The red leaves didn't pick them up and rode their horses away.

When I returned to the mansion, the yard of the mansion was filled with fallen leaves, the house was covered with dust, no one was inhabited, and it was deserted. I had to burn it myself if I wanted to drink some water.

He brought a handful of dried grass for horses. Seeing that the horses were so delicious, he couldn't help but murmur: "I live worse than you."

The door was kicked open, and Yu Wenhao's voice poured into his ears, "Old Hong, are you back?"

Let’s go and have a drink in the mansion!”

Hongye turned around and saw Yu Wenhao bringing Xu Yi and Gu Si in excitedly, followed by Calm Yan Yan. He held his hands behind his back, and his eyes came through the gap between the three of them, clear and deep.

Hongye reached out to hold the horse's head and said lightly: "Eat wine?

I may not have time to go, I have to be busy with something."

Yuwenhao stepped forward and looked at him, "What are you busy with?"

We came here to invite you specifically. Today we should have greeted you at the city gate. If something happened temporarily, we rushed to the yamen to deal with it. When we handled the matter, we rushed to the city gate and said you were gone, so we came to find you quickly."

Hongye raised her eyes and felt very embarrassed, "But this matter is also quite urgent. I really can't drink with you. Next time, I'll do it next time!"

Yu Wenhao was a little disappointed, "Is it so urgent?"

Hongye gently swept the horse's head, "Isn't that?"

Gu Si said: "Then I will invite you next time, but the banquet has been booked. The young master has no time, so we have to go too."

Yu Wenhao nodded and turned around and said to Hongye: "Then tell us when you have time, and we will arrange our time to gather."

After saying that, he took everyone away.

Hongye lowered his eyes and hated his teeth. He couldn't believe that they left like this. He was sincere in treating someone to drink, so why didn't he ask for a few more times?

After a while, the door opened again. Leng Jingyan stood at the door, looking at him with quiet eyes, "I really can't come?"

Hongye kicked over the material trough, "Wait for me, I'll change my clothes!"

Yuwenhao booked a banquet at Hengfu Restaurant. There were no one else, and he was not called a minister in the court. He knew that Hongye was not used to being with too many people, so he accommodated him, which was considered to be a thank you for going to the battlefield in person.

The atmosphere at the beginning was a bit restrained, and the red leaves were slow to heat up, but when everyone talked about the things on the battlefield, they drank a few more glasses of wine, and the atmosphere became warmer.

Leng Jingyan basically didn't speak much, and just listened quietly to them and poured wine for them. When he was nervous, he seemed nervous. Although he knew that it was a victory in the end, the process was really terrifying.

Hongye finally became the one who talked about the most. He talked about King An because along the way, he escorted King An back to Beijing.

He looked at Yu Wenhao, "There is a saying that I don't know whether to speak or not."

After three rounds of wine, Yu Wenhao was already slightly drunk. After hearing this, he raised his hand and said, "So mother-in-law, just say something."

Hongye looked at him, "Actually, I and General Qin had contacted King An. At that time, King An really wanted to use external forces to help him compete for the position of crown prince, but in the end, there was no agreement. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

When everyone saw him suddenly talking about such a serious matter, they couldn't help but stop and look at him.

Hongye turned the cup and looked at Yu Wenhao, "It was because King An was unwilling to betray the Northern Tang Dynasty. He was even unwilling to provide some military intelligence from Northern Tang. He asked him to put it in the inner circle, and he was even more unwilling to."

Yu Wenhao knew about the matter of installing the inner person. It was all planted by Aru for the eldest son of Hong Lie, and it had nothing to do with Hongye.

This is also the reason why Hongye did not occupy an internal share in Northern Tang Xun.

Gu Si smiled and said, "Does that mean that he just wants to make a fortune?"

"He can pay the price, but what he is willing to pay is his own price, not the Northern Tang."

Hongye put down the cup and smiled, "Don't get it wrong. I'm not talking to him, but looking at all this person, it's not a big traitor, it's a heavy self-interest, and it doesn't care about brotherly love. This is better than Yuwen Jun. For the position of prince, Yuwen Jun will be willing to let him betray me, because he took the initiative to contact General Qin. This was what he mentioned when I handed over a letter to General Qin. Unfortunately, General Qin was not willing to help him, and he was useless."

Xu Yi said: "Whether anyone is talking about the traitor or evil is not counted. The people he has harmed him are the ones who have said it. The King of Wei was the most miserable thing. He was really almost destroyed, but the King of Wei is now good with him."

Gu Si said: "They brothers are really destined to be together, and they all broke their arm."

Xu Yi hurriedly swallowed the wine, "This is better than King An, and King An has no ear yet."

Gu Si glanced at him, how can he fight for the victory or defeat?

He looked at Yu Wenhao again, "This is not difficult to break the arm, just go to Dazhou."

Calm Yan shook his head, "It's useless to go, the Regent will not help him."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Leng Jingyan. Yu Wenhao asked, "Why?"
