Chapter 370: Back to Flame City
"What you said on this issue is very pertinent and your understanding is completely correct. Without Xu Baichuan, it is difficult for Zhao Zhenduo to make a difference. Yan Xue praised Liang Haichuan, and Liang Haichuan suddenly became happy.
Xu Baichuan is back, back to the Flame City where he has been absent for more than a year.
As soon as his carriage entered the north gate of Flame City, he was recognized by many people.
"Isn't that the City Lord Xu?"
"City Lord Xu is back. ”
"It's really Lord Xu. ”
......
The people who recognized Xu Baichuan talked a lot, and everyone still spoke quietly at first.
I don't know who shouted loudly: "City Lord Xu, are you back?"
"Yes, it's me back. But I'm not a city lord anymore, I'm Xu Baichuan. ”
"No, you will always be the Xu City Lord in our hearts. ”
"Yes, you will always be Lord Xu in our hearts. ”
"You will always be the Boss Xu in our hearts. ”
......
Immediately, countless people cheered, and countless people followed behind Xu Baichuan's carriage.
The more people gathered, and everyone spontaneously followed behind the carriage.
At the beginning, Xu Baichuan was still standing in the carriage, but later he had to jump out of the carriage and move forward on foot.
The hometown father is too enthusiastic about him, he will not go up to hurt the hearts of his father and fellow villagers.
As he walked, he gave up his hands. The more people gathered, the slower he walked.
"I heard that Brother Baichuan is back, he came in from the north gate of Flame City. Wang Dahua quickly came to the City Lord's Mansion and told Zhao Zhenbiao the shocking news.
"Is the news reliable?" Zhao Zhenbiao hurriedly asked
"Absolutely reliable, the city of flames has gone crazy, and many people have rushed to the north gate to greet them. Wang Dahua said repeatedly.
"Then what are you hesitating about, hurry up and meet him. Zhao Zhenbiao hurriedly got up and ran out quickly.
"Inform General Li Sanchang and let him go to the north gate. ”
"And let the kitchen prepare the dinner, prepare more good wine and food, and I will pick up the wind for Brother Baichuan in the evening. ”
Zhao Zhenbiao arranged while running out.
Wang Dahua trotted all the way behind Zhao Zhenbiao, and they quickly ran towards the north gate.
There were more and more people, and his way was blocked.
"Get out of the way, the lord of the castle is here. ”
I don't know who shouted, and people automatically made a way for Zhao Zhenbiao and Wang Dahua to enter.
"Thank you, folks. Zhao Zhenbiao and Wang Dahua clasped their fists and saluted.
"Brother Baichuan, are you really back?" Zhao Zhenbiao really saw Xu Baichuan, and it was really Xu Baichuan who came back.
Xu Baichuan was not told in advance that he was coming back, and his sudden return surprised Zhao Zhenbiao.
"Fourth, it's me back. Why, I've only been away for two years, and you, the city lord, don't welcome me back?" Xu Baichuan joked.
"Haha. How could it not be welcome, we always welcome you back. Fathers and fellow villagers, am I right?" Zhao Zhenbiao said loudly.
"Yes, Flame City will always be your Lord Xu's home. ”
"The fathers and fellow villagers of Flame City will always be with you, Lord Xu. ”
"Lord Xu, we will always be with you. ”
......
Listening to the local sound and looking at the enthusiastic people of Flame City, Xu Baichuan burst into tears, this is his home, and this is his relatives.
He didn't let the tears fall, he kept waving at everyone, and he was very excited and even more moved at this time.
People took the initiative to make way for a way, and accompanied by Zhao Zhenduo and Wang Dahua, Xu Baichuan walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"Brother Baichuan, welcome back to Flame City. Li Sanchang came with more than a dozen generals to welcome him.
From the north gate of Flame City to the City Lord's Mansion, both sides of the road were full of people, and the people of Flame City welcomed Xu Baichuan's arrival.
More than ten miles away, Xu Baichuan walked for a few hours, and this was because it was dark immediately.
Xu Baichuan came to the City Lord's Mansion, it was getting late, and the people of Flame City dispersed one after another.
"Brother Baichuan, in the past two years since you left, the fathers and fellow villagers of Flame City have not forgotten you. Zhao Zhenbiao said excitedly.
"Brother Baichuan, everyone will remember your dedication to the people of Flame City, and they will not forget you, a great benefactor. Li Sanchang also said repeatedly.
"Huh. I just did what I had to do, and the folks here are so kind. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's drink first, we have to have a few drinks today after a long time. Zhao Zhenbiao was very happy.
"Uncle Xu, are you back?" Zhao Yang also came to the City Lord's Mansion at this time, and he was also very happy to see Xu Baichuan.
"Come, without further ado, now let's toast Brother Baichuan with a glass of wine. Zhao Zhenbiao raised his glass and toasted Xu Baichuan with everyone.
"Thank you. Xu Baichuan took the wine glass and drank it all.
After a few glasses of wine, Xu Baichuan began to speak.
"You've heard about my dismissal, right?"
Everyone nodded their heads again and again, and everyone knew this.
"I'm not used to this deceitful officialdom, especially the big dye vat in the imperial capital. To be honest, if it wasn't for the third child who asked me to go, I wouldn't have gone at all. I'm not interested in being a castle lord at all, I'm still suitable for a small business. ”
Xu Baichuan laughed at himself when he said this, and everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.
"When I come back this time, I won't be going to the imperial capital, it's not suitable for me. I miss my son, I miss my grandson, I come back to see Ruyi, Yu'er and them. Then I stayed in the City of Flames and didn't go anywhere, drinking and chatting with everyone. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Baichuan paused and looked at everyone. Everyone spoke, and everyone looked at Xu Baichuan with strange eyes.
"What's wrong, I have flowers on my face?" Xu Baichuan didn't understand what everyone meant.
"Uncle Xu, you don't have flowers on your face. Because what you say doesn't count at all once my third uncle summons you, you have to go back to the imperial capital again. Zhao Yang said at this time.
"Hahahaha. Everyone burst into laughter.
"What Zhao Yang said makes sense, you can leave anyone behind, but you can't leave my third brother. Zhao Zhenbiao echoed.
"Yes, Qinghuanghou and you are the best partners, and you will not abandon him. Li Sanchang seconded.
"My third brother is absolutely attracted to you, and you are saying this too early. Wang Dahua also thinks so.
"Why do you all say that, if I don't go, I won't go. Xu Baichuan glared at everyone.
"Hahahaha......"
The crowd still burst into laughter.
"Brother Xu, drink, drink, let's not say those words first, we won't get drunk tonight. Zhao Zhenbiao hurriedly persuaded him to drink.
Several people drank until late before Xu Baichuan returned home to rest.
Everyone was happy today, they drank a little too much, and when they left, Xu Baichuan muttered: "Why are these people like this, they don't believe me." ”
Before Xu Baichuan got up the next morning, many relatives and friends came to the door of the house, and everyone came to visit Xu Baichuan.
Although he was tired all the way, Xu Baichuan still warmly received everyone. and arranged for the next person to set up a banquet, and at noon he invited everyone.
Good guy, Xu Mansion set up more than 20 tables of banquets at noon, and Xu Baichuan accompanied everyone to get drunk again.
He spent three days in a row like this, and he was exhausted, but he was still happy.
"You can't drink like this tomorrow, you better go to Qinghuang Town, didn't you say to go see Ruyi and Yu'er? I want to hug my grandson." In the evening, Mrs. Xu persuaded Xu Baichuan.
"Okay, let's leave Flame City and go to Qinghuang Town tomorrow morning, so don't think about leaving for half a month. ”
Before dawn the next morning, Xu Baichuan and his wife left Flame City with their subordinates, and they hurried to Qinghuang Town.
Four days later, they finally arrived in Qinghuang Town.
"Dad, mother, why did you come back, why didn't you tell us when you came back?" Xu Ruyi and Zhao Yuer were very surprised to see Xu Baichuan and his wife.
"Haha, what's the surprise when I tell you?" Xu Baichuan said to them with a smile.
The family was happy and had not been reunited for a long time.
When Xu Baichuan and his wife knew that Zhao Yuer was pregnant with a child again, they couldn't close their mouths with joy.
Most of the juniors of the Zhao family were in Qinghuang Town, and they hurried over to visit when they knew that Xu Baichuan and his wife were back.
"Dad, mother, Sister Xuejiao knows that you are back, she wants to invite you to dinner, we have a big party tonight. Xu Ruyi told Xu Baichuan about the situation.
"Okay, we're going to have a big party tonight. Xu Baichuan happily agreed.
At night, the Zhao family's mansion in Qinghuang Town is bustling. Lin Xuejiao hosted a banquet for Xu Baichuan tonight, and set up more than a dozen tables.
Lu Qianmeng, Granny Yu and others all attended the dinner, everyone is an old friend, an old acquaintance, and they are very enthusiastic when they meet, after all, they haven't seen each other for a long time.
"Uncle Xu, I'm very happy to see you, I miss you for more than two years. Lin Xuejiao was very happy to see Xu Baichuan.
"Haha. Niece and daughter-in-law, we miss you very much, take the child out, we want to see him. Seeing Lin Xuejiao, Xu Baichuan was even more happy.
"Uncle Xu, what are your plans to come back this time?" After dinner, Lin Xuejiao chatted with Xu Baichuan alone.
"You also know the situation in the imperial capital, and it is difficult for me to do anything over there for a while. I still want to go back to Flame City, this is our root after all, and I want to use this place to do something for your father. ”
Xu Baichuan said what was in his heart, and Lin Xuejiao didn't speak when she heard this.
"What's the matter, niece. Am I not right?"
"There's nothing wrong, Uncle Xu, now that the national crisis is at hand, as long as you can serve the country, all choices are right. I also understand the pressure you are under in the imperial capital, I grew up in the imperial capital, can I not know how complicated the environment is?"
"Yang Jian is still young, and it's normal for him to not be able to control those people. The pressure on his father's side is also very strong now, and although the emperor is in charge, his power has not yet been revealed. The real battle is still to come, and now the chaos in the Blue Wolf Empire has not yet begun, and we must plan in advance. In short, you must accumulate strength now, you come back just in time, and you will take this piece of reserve first. ”
"Okay, no problem. I will do my best to do a good job, I know that this is a big thing, so you can rest assured. Xu Baichuan hurriedly agreed.
"Uncle Xu, Zhao Fei doesn't know how many times he will come back, and I'm under a lot of pressure now. The Zhao family carries too much, and it has always been overloaded to run, you know this kind of suffering. We don't have much time left......"
Xu Baichuan kept nodding, he understood that it was really not easy for Lin Xuejiao to support such a big stall with a woman's family.
"Uncle Xu, some things depend on you My own people don't say kind words. ”
They talked about it late, and after sending Xu Baichuan away, Lin Xuejiao was very tired.
"Xuejiao, you are working too hard, you are really not easy. The Jade Lady said very distressedly.
"Mother-in-law, this is no way, I also want to be easy, but can I be easy? I am most worried about my father now, maybe the war is about to begin. Lin Xuejiao looked at the night sky, and her mood fluctuated.
"I know your mind, I just feel sorry for you. The jade lady's face revealed helplessness.
"I've always had a sense of uneasiness these days, a premonition that something big is going to happen recently. Mother-in-law, you keep an eye on Qinghuang Town. Lin Xuejiao's face showed rare caution.
"Well, tomorrow I will discuss it with Lao Lu, and we will definitely strengthen our defenses recently, and we will definitely not leave an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of. The Jade Lady understood what Lin Xuejiao meant.
"Hmm. Please, mother-in-law. ”
"Silly boy, what kind of stupid things does the family say. The Jade Lady said angrily.
