Chapter 52: Brother
Northern Xinjiang, Qizhou
Since the imperial court sent back to the barbarians the news of "inviting" the second prince of the barbarian tribe, Anton Zan, to study in the capital, although the barbarian army has not yet withdrawn, it has also restrained the tribes that sent troops, and no longer harassed Jiuzhai in northern Xinjiang from time to time.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, as the barbarian Great Khan led his troops back to Qilian Mountain, the atmosphere in Qizhou City has gradually relaxed.
In the Tang State Mansion, that is, the original Marshal Zhenbei Mansion, Li Yuan and his son sent off the generals from all sides and turned around and entered the study.
"Che'er, the Marquis of Jinghai in Shuzhong has already made arrangements, and now I am afraid that the matter of going to Beijing will not be delayed. When do you plan to go? "My son is going to the capital, and I don't know when I will see him again.
"Father, everything on the road has been arranged, and my son is ready to leave tomorrow and go to Shanzhou first." Li Yuanche knew his father's reluctance, so he changed the topic. "My son has prepared some New Year's gifts and is ready to send them to Shanzhou, and let the third prince send them to the Wang family in Jiangzhou on my behalf."
"That's right," Li Yuan nodded, "Although the Wang and Li families are secretly married due to the limitations of the time and cannot tell the world, but the number of etiquette that should be there is still no less, we can't let the Jiangzhou Wang family think that my Li family is the one who doesn't know the etiquette." This year's ceremony secretly dragged the third prince back to Jiangzhou, which is the most appropriate. ”
"Yes, that's what my son thinks too." Li Yuanche saw that when he talked about this, the parting sorrow on his father's face really faded a lot.
"It's not early, you have to hurry tomorrow, so go back and rest." Li Yuan patted his son on the shoulder and walked to the rest room inside the study.
"Yes, father, you should rest early, too." Li Yuanche bowed and retreated.

In Shanzhou City, in the study of the garrison mansion, Wang Zeren looked at the family letter in his hand and was silent.
A letter from Jiangzhou's family told me to find a way to return to Jiangzhou no matter what year I did. According to the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, the border generals were not allowed to leave without an edict. It's not that the family doesn't know this rule, but at this time, they are urging with a letter. It seems that something really happened at home, otherwise such a letter would not have been delivered.
"Third son, but there is something going on in Jiangzhou's family?" The little guy next to him asked when he saw this.
"It's okay," Wang Zeren put away the letter and asked instead, "Is there any news from Qizhou?" "If you want to go back to Jiangzhou, I'm afraid you have to think from that barbarian prince.
"According to the news from the scouts, the prince of Tang Guo and his party of the barbarian prince will arrive in Shanzhou this evening." The little guy looked at the hourglass, "It seems that it's only a matter of one or two hours." ”
Oh, Li Yuanche's kid will be in Shanzhou today? Speaking of which, the Li family father and son have been in Northern Xinjiang for more than half a year, and they have not yet met Li Yuanche's kid. Since that kid has come to the door today, he has to take the school exam to see if this young general who became famous in World War I is worthy of his sister.
"Prepare your horses and go to the north gate."
"Yes. The Three Princes"

As soon as Li Yuanche and his entourage came to the outside of Shanzhou City, they saw a group of officials waiting here at the gate of the city. From the news from the scout before, he knew that the two adults at the front were Ma Yuan, the prefect of Shanzhou, and Wang Zeren, the garrison.
"Lord Shizi, it's hard work." Ma Yuan, the prefect of Shanzhou, stepped forward first and saluted. This prefect Ma knew that the king who was born in a family next to him was very arrogant, and he was afraid that he would not salute the prince of Tang Guo, whose ancestors were born recklessly.
"Master Ma," Li Yuanche clasped his fists and saluted, then turned his head to look to the side, "This is Wang Zeren, General Wang, look up for a long time!" ”
Wang Zeren only nodded, did not speak, and only stared at the other party with a pair of sharp eyes. Wang Zeren didn't speak, and the other people behind him didn't dare to squeak, and for a while, the scene suddenly became a little embarrassing.
Seeing this, Governor Ma chuckled in his heart. It's bad, this prince of the family next to him really doesn't look down on this prince of Tang Guo, this prince is a hot-blooded man who has just come down from the battlefield, and he is a young hero who became famous in the first battle, I'm afraid I can't stand this snubbing. God forbid, don't fight these two at the city gate in front of everyone.
Here, Governor Ma is still thinking about how to make a fuss for a while, how to save everyone's face. Over there, Li Yuanche was silent, and his face calmly let his future third uncle look at him. He knows that if he can't pass this hurdle today, he is afraid that it will be difficult to marry his sweetheart in the future.
Wang Zeren stared at Li Yuanche fiercely for a long time, and when he saw that this kid was still looking as usual, he nodded secretly. Yes, this kid is not very old, but he can calm down, and his appearance and bearing are barely eye-catching, as for his ability, since he can kill the general of the barbarians, it must not be bad. Thinking about it like this, it's barely worthy of his own sister.
Thinking of this, Wang Zeren hugged his fists and performed a common salute in the army, "General Li, please!" ”
Seeing this, Governor Ma and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly arranged for people to receive and wait for the group to rest in the annex in the city.
That night, Ma Zhifu originally prepared a reception banquet in the mansion, but was politely refused by Li Yuanche on the grounds that he escorted the barbarian prince to Beijing, had a heavy responsibility, and did not dare to be negligent.
Li Yuanche refused the reception banquet arranged by the Ma Governor's Mansion, but he quietly sneaked into the Shanzhou Garrison Mansion at ten o'clock in the middle of the night.
"Third brother, I've kept you waiting." In the study of the garrison mansion, Li Yuanche stepped into the door and saluted.
"General Li, you and my family haven't made up their minds yet, I'm afraid this third brother is calling earlier, right?" Wang Zeren couldn't see that the other party looked determined to win, as if his sister-in-law was marrying him Li Yuanche.
"Third brother, we are all soldiers, so we won't talk around the corner." Li Yuanche's face was as usual, but he said loudly, "I, Li Yuanche, must marry a gentle wife in this life, and no one can stop me." Man prevents killing, God prevents killing God! ”
"Why do you think we're going to marry you lightly? Just with that marriage certificate? When Wang Zeren heard this, he couldn't stop nodding at this kid in his heart, but his face was deliberately dissatisfied.
"Third brother, whether you agree or not, I will marry her," Li Yuanche glanced at his third uncle, "I am standing here today to embarrass you, but I hope to get the approval of Qingqing's family, and I can give her a wedding with family blessings in the future, so as not to embarrass Qingqing." ”
"Could it be that third brother, do you still think that I am afraid of your Wang family?" As soon as the words turned, the momentum on Li Yuanche's body that came out of the sea of corpses and blood suddenly exploded.
"Good boy, good." Wang Zeren laughed, and he no longer had the appearance of being embarrassed before, "You have to have this kind of momentum to be worthy of my family." The laughter fell, but he also said with a straight face, "You have to remember what you said just now, if you dare to be bad to you in the future, our brothers of the Wang family will definitely not let you go." ”
"Third brother, don't worry." Li Yuanche raised his right hand and solemnly swore, "I, Li Yuanche, will marry Qingqing, accompany her, protect her, cherish her, never let anyone hurt her, and never let her suffer the slightest grievance." ”
"If you violate this oath, may the sky thunder and never enter reincarnation."
