"Actually, Li Yan didn't take you with him when he returned to Chang'an, but it was also for your good ......"

"Li Yan has now paid tribute to the Marquis of Dingbei, if you continue to be his personal guard, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do much in the future......"

"Besides, you also know that with Li Yan's ability, how can he need any guards......"

"You might as well follow the general, and make military achievements in the future, even if you can't seal the Hou, it's possible to seal the south of the county or something......"

Cheng Yanjin had already finished the draft, and at this time comforted people one after another.

Of course, what Cheng Yanjin said always revolves around a core idea.

That's what he wants to kidnap the batch of talents that Li Yan has trained!

Ge Dahai, Zhou Cheng, and Zhang Qiang are definitely the top scouts in the world, and Zhang Dazhu is already a few other people who are also fierce generals.

If there are enough opportunities in the future, these nine people who are from Li Yan's personal guard may make great achievements and enter the court in one fell swoop!

"General Cheng is right! Only by staying in the army can we hope to catch up with the boss! ”

"After this Northern Expedition, everyone has more or less merits, and a few of us may also be divided."

"We are the boss's personal guards, and we will each have to do something when we disperse in the future!"

The effect of Cheng Biting Jin's comforting words was surprisingly good, and after pouring Cheng Biting Jin's soul chicken soup, Zhang Dazhu and others suddenly had pride, and had the idea of "a big husband should bring a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements".

Cheng Yanjin didn't know that his current words directly created a famous bastard group in the court later.

Moreover, this group of nine bastards is not pretending to be stupid like himself, these nine people are really innocent......

Of course, that's all for later.

……

On the Mobei grassland, Li Yan drove a genetically modified acceleration horse from "Minecraft" and galloped all the way.

With no one holding back, Li Yan directly soared his speed to one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour, and it didn't take long for him to enter the desert.

After that, Li Yan continued to gallop non-stop, and arrived back at Monan before the sun went down.

At this time, Mo Nan was already controlled by the elite sent by the imperial court, and he was always on guard against Xue Yantuo's harassment.

After the sun went down, Li Yan had no idea of going to the Tang Army camp to rest.

Anyway, he himself is not very human, and his mount is not an ordinary war horse, this person and horse are not tired, staring at the cold night of the grassland and continuing to hurry without stopping.

In the end, Li Yan arrived in Fengzhou before dawn.

The people of Fengzhou were not too familiar with Li Yan, so Li Yan was recognized when he arrived at the city gate.

Under the enthusiasm of the military and civilians of Fengzhou, Li Yan stayed and rested all day.

On this day, Li Yan rested for half a day as usual, and then talked with Wang Yu, the assassin of Fengzhou, for a long time.

Li Yan probably explained to Wang Yu the future development direction of Fengzhou and the idea of building Fengzhou into a commercial center in the north of the Tang Dynasty.

All in all, Li Yan is still quite attentive to Fengzhou, a city that has been in it for more than half a year.

"After returning to Chang'an, I will suggest to Your Majesty that you become the envoy of the Commercial Bank, as long as you develop Fengzhou with your heart in the next year or two, this merit will definitely be enough for you to go further in the court."

Before leaving, Li explained to Wang Yu earnestly.

"Congratulations to General Lee!"

In the end, Wang Yu, who deeply felt Li Yan's great kindness, personally led the people of Fengzhou to see Li Yan leave and said these five words in unison, which gave Li Yan a headache......

After leaving Fengzhou, Li Yan didn't rest much.

On this way to Chang'an, you will pass through many cities, but the recognition in these cities does not recognize Li Yan's face.

After all, although Li Yan's reputation has spread all over the world, there are still a few people who really know Li Yan in the final analysis.

The most common thing that happened along the way was that Li Yan showed his token when he entered the city, and then left the city before the city owner could react.

Many officials along the way regretted that they did not wait for Li Yan to pass by at the city gate early, thus missing the opportunity to make friends with Li Yan.

In this way, with regret, these officials stepped up to write letters and informed Li Yan's friends who would pass by the city in the future.

It's a pity that the horses that delivered the letters to these officials could have run faster than Li Yan, and when the letters arrived, Li Yan had already gone far away to an unknown place.

……

Two days later, under the city of Chang'an, Li Yan barely looked tired of hurrying, and he walked on the official road and led his war horse around with interest.

"It is worthy of Chang'an, and this commercial development is much better than that of Fengzhou." Li Yan commented.

You must know that Li Yan hasn't even entered the city gate now, and he is still on the official road.

Li Yan clearly saw the caravans around him that were preparing to enter the city, and the size of these caravans could compete with the largest caravan that arrived in Fengzhou last autumn.

The most important thing is that these caravans are all local caravans of the Tang Dynasty, not those Hu merchants who went to Fengzhou.

"It doesn't seem that Datang is poor, it's just that the treasury is poor."

Li Yan could see something at a casual glance.

It can be seen from the clothing of the people in the caravan that behind these caravans there are shadows of nobles.

Those who are really self-made merchants are almost difficult to form caravans, they are almost all self-employed people fixed in one or several cities, and a considerable part of them will be absorbed by these caravans, and eventually become the tools of those gatekeepers to accumulate wealth.

"Tsk, so it seems that my voice should be good in the future."

Li Yan quickly thought of the dessert shop he still had in his mind.

Since the family is so rich, then Li Yan will be at ease when he is alive (earth) and willing.

Of course, the premise of all this has to be that Li Yan can "retire" smoothly, so that he can live an independent life as a petty bourgeois liver emperor.

While thinking about the future, Li Yan slowly moved along the team entering the city.

Compared with entering the city with a special and direct identity, Li Yan obviously prefers a leisurely and slow-paced life......

After it was Li Yan's turn to enter the city, the soldiers guarding the city instantly saw the Fang Tian painting halberd on horseback, and he immediately cheered up.

This is the ordnance, and when the ordnance enters the city, there must be strict procedures.

"I am Li Yan of Fengzhou, and I came to Chang'an to listen to the seal on the orders of His Majesty."

It was only at this moment that Li Yan revealed his identity, which instantly attracted the attention of the audience.

Li ...... Plum...... Checkmate? Dingbei Hou? ”

The brains of the soldiers defending the city were short-circuited in an instant.

This soldier only felt that his life in defending the city had never been so exciting, first he was the first to hear good news from the front line, and now he was the first to see the Marquis of Dingbei who was preparing to enter the city.

In this regard, the soldier could only say: "Guarding the city gate for Chang'an has never been so exciting!" ”

"Master Hou, please wait a moment, I'll go and report!"

Although Li Yan showed the token, this was Chang'an after all, and Li Yan wanted to carry such a big weapon as Fang Tian's painting halberd into the city, so he naturally had to confirm his identity strictly.

In this way, the soldier once again repeated the route he had just run before, trotting all the way to find today's defender......
