Chapter 42, Return to Beijing
The road back to the capital is much smoother, Mo Wen is also in a very good mood, this way can be said to have done two major things, one is to complete the emperor's mission, and the second is to reunite Zhao Tianjing's father and daughter, of course, this matter is only known to Mo Wen, Chu Xuanyi, Gao Meng and others.

And these people won't be stupid enough to say this damn thing.
After returning to the capital, Mo Wen did not go to the palace, but went to the palace, and he had to return to the emperor first.
And the emperor was first shocked when he saw Mo Wen's return, and then he was covered up: "General Mo is back, I am overjoyed, presumably General Mo has completed his mission!"
Mo Wen's face was ugly, and he bowed down in front of the emperor: "Please ask the emperor to punish the crime!"
The emperor pretended to be stunned: "General Mo has worked hard and made great achievements, what is the crime? ”
Mo Wen refused to get up, and kept his head down: "The minister is guilty, not to mention the loss of soldiers along the way, and almost killed the princess, please punish the emperor!"
The emperor's eyes flashed: "Oh? General Mo has something to say slowly." ”
Mo Wen raised his head and looked at the emperor, his eyes were full of pain: "Your Majesty, this road was originally very peaceful, but then a person ...... appeared."
The emperor stood up suddenly: "Who?"
Mo Wen shook his head: "I don't know, but he said that his name is Zhao Tianjing, and the minister was startled, the surname Zhao was originally the emperor's surname, and this name is also ...... The minister couldn't help but ask about his identity. ”
The emperor's face sank: "What did he say?"
"He said he was the prince of the day!"
The emperor's face was no longer shocked at this time, but he couldn't see joy and anger: "Go on." ”
"He wanted to invite the princess to his place as a guest, the minister didn't know his identity, he didn't dare to agree easily, who expected him to send cavalry to chase and kill the minister, the minister lost dozens of people in the first battle, and the princess was also frightened, fortunately, the minister protected the princess day and night and hurriedly delivered the princess to Huorong Country safely, and Zhao Tianjing did not chase after him, otherwise the minister's sin would be too great!" Mo Wen said heartbroken, as if he didn't dare to raise his head.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's heart blossomed, but his face did not move: "Aiqing, please hurry up, although some people have been broken, but it is a big deal to deliver the princess safely, Aiqing has worked hard, how can I punish the crime?"
Mo Wen looked at the emperor in disbelief: "Your Majesty, this ......"
The emperor waved his hand: "Aiqing has worked hard all the way, and I have promoted Aiqing to earl, hereditary replacement!"
Mo Wen clasped his hands into fists and was very moved: "Thank the emperor for the grace of heaven!
"Aiqing is too modest, as for the soldiers who died this time, each of my families will give ten times the appeasement silver, hey!"
Mo Wen landed on his knees: "The emperor cares about the soldiers, and the ministers thank the emperor for the dead soldiers, long live the emperor!"
The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Well, Aiqing, go and rest." ”
Mo Wen stood up and slowly retreated, out of the palace, the corners of Mo Wen's mouth rose slightly, and he strode away.
The emperor sat alone on the dragon chair and laughed: "Zhao Tianjing, Zhao Tianjing, when you meet the soldiers of the Huorong Kingdom, it will be the time when I will level your extreme north!"
In the emperor's opinion, Zhao Tianjing chased all the way to the border of Huorongguo and did not cross the border without authorization, but according to the emperor's understanding of Zhao Tianjing, it is very likely that he was reorganizing his army at this time and preparing to go to Huorongguo to snatch back his daughter.
Don't you know that Princess Rong Ling has already been replaced with a stand-in, and that stand-in will only speak ill of him, the emperor, but will not instigate Huo Rongguo to start a war against Zhao Tianjing!
