This time the service period is over, and many of the nobles who led the troops to the war are the surrounding lords, but they don't go home directly, they need to go to Xintian, the national capital, with the army general Han Ju.

The main reason for going to Xintian is to complete the procedure of going out on the expedition, and then to evaluate the merits, and wait for the completion of the procedure before disbanding and returning to the territory.

It's just that, including Lu Wu, the nobles who were feudal in the surrounding areas, they left the necessary number of samurai, and if there was any spoils, they let the retainers lead other samurai and the subjects to bring back first.

The only retainer brought to the battlefield by Lü Wu was Song Bin.

The matter of bringing the loot back will naturally be completed by Song Bin.

He also got Lu Wu's instructions to find a person (Cheng Ying) immediately after he went back, if he was no longer in the old Lu family, he needed to send someone to inform Lu Wu immediately.

The lower army has been marching in a southwesterly direction along the edge of the Fenshui.

It may be that they opened up a passage when they came, and when they went to Xintian, they followed a less serious avenue.

This march took nearly half a month to reach the other side of the river at Xintianbian.

Of course, it is related to the snowy weather, and it has a lot to do with the various imperfections of the road.

Fenshui does not freeze in winter, and it is obviously unrealistic to step on the ice to get to the south shore.

In fact, even if it freezes, it depends on the thickness of the ice.

They turned around and walked west for half a day, and came to a bridge across the river, and crossed the bridge in batches before they reached the south bank.

And here's a team that's been waiting for a long time.

That team set up a considerable battle, and a high-ranking official holding the "festival" was responsible for receiving Han Ju and Zhifu.

The "knot" is a bamboo pole (or wooden pole, metal pole), with a trident style at the top, and a lot of animal fur and tails, representing the will of the king.

The other crowd greeted them, and as the troops approached, they began to dance without music.

The dancing men and women were dressed in strange clothes, dressed in various animal skins, with their hair disheveled, and their faces wearing hideous masks.

said it was dancing, more like dancing Dada.

To put it simply, it is actually a very religious ritual.

The marching brigade followed closely by a column passing by the edge of the dancing venue.

As Lu Wu's chariot passed by, he kept looking at it with great interest, and found that even dancing required a lot of physical strength, and many exaggerated movements could find the physical shadows of some animals.

And that's right.

In fact, dance began by imitating some body movements of animals, and then slowly processed and shaped by artists, and evolved into various types of dance in later generations.

"The gentleman's illness ......" Dong Wei is a doctor who is familiar with Lu Wu, he and Lu Wu are in a posture of keeping up, and said: "Heavy? ”

Jin Jinggong is seriously ill, and it is really not a good thing for them to be in the middle and lower classes.

Dong Wei looked a little worried, and replied: "There is a problem! ”

If Lu Wu didn't know that Dong Wei was a nobleman and a retainer attached to the Xun family, he would really be loyal to Jin Jinggong.

In these days, the ministers of the subordinates are not the ministers of the king.

In other words, several ministers or doctors are the courtiers of the king, but the subordinates of these ministers and doctors are not the courtiers of the king.

The king can give orders to his own ministers, but he cannot give orders directly to his ministers.

Dong Wei's concerns are very reasonable.

The monarch of the Jin State no longer has real power, but he is also the king of a country, which can play a role in stabilizing the situation in the country.

Usually there is a monarch, and the various secretaries are so bloody in fighting, if there is a change in the throne, it should be the turn of those secretaries to compete for power.

In the Jin Kingdom, there are traces of the competition between the secretaries.

They usually let the nobles who are attached to them be the vanguard, and when they fight, the nobles who are dependent on each secretary will fight first.

Many times the nobles who are attached to the various ministers are fighting, and they kill a river of blood, but the ministers above are getting better, which means that they can't get any benefits from dying in vain.

The troops came to a detour and came to the east gate of Xintian.

From a distance, Lu Wu saw a thorny gate with a large shelf.

This thorny gate is far more elaborate than the old Lu family's, and it looks much more gorgeous.

The troops passed through the thorn gate, which was tantamount to completing the obligation to serve.

The samurai immediately relented, and they dispersed in twos and threes, intending to go to the city for fun.

The nobles were not angry when they saw the samurai like that, but their faces were full of joy, and they called their friends to go for entertainment.

It was Lu Wu's turn to lead his family warriors through the Thorn Gate, and he kept the warriors assembled at the same time beforehand, and the warriors did not immediately scatter away.

He didn't know what was going on with the rest of the nobles, so he politely declined the invitation of a few good nobles, and he thought about finding a place to stay first.

Once they had found a place to stay, the samurai would go to play if they wanted to, lest they not know where to go back to the meeting.

No one in Xintian cares about the whereabouts of this group of troops returning from the battle, but the troops returning from the expedition do not return to their respective territories, and Si Kou is destined to enter a busy period.

Lu Wu rented a place and signaled that the warriors who did not need to be on duty could go out and have fun.

He himself went to the city first.

Xintian is the capital of the Jin Kingdom that has just been relocated, and the whole city looks quite new, but it is just like that.

The samurai went to some weathered places, so there was no need to say much about what kind of fun they had.

Lu Wu actually wanted to see what the place was like in those years, but he just thought about it a little.

Jin Guoxing is the art of governing the country, and he can't help but weathered the operation of the place, and even vaguely encouraged.

Xintian is the old nest of the monarch, and most of the weathered places are operated by the monarch appointed by the people.

Lu Wu walked around, didn't find the project he wanted to play, and returned to his residence and got up.

He needed to stay in Xintian and wait for the military merit evaluation, but he already knew that Jin Jinggong was seriously ill, and he was worried that he would wait for a long time, and even things would be yellow.

Wait, wait, wait, three or five days will soon pass.

Lu Wu, who had enough of the house, inquired that Xintian was also the largest slave market in the Jin Kingdom, so he brought the samurai over if he couldn't be idle.

When the nobles go out to fight, in order to show their respect for the king, whatever they gain needs to be contributed to the king first, and then the king will give it back in the form of a reward.

If the monarch is not a pro-conscription, the minor nobles can pay it or not.

Most of the time, in fact, it is the great nobles and the monarch who go through a process, expressing the situation of harmony and love between the monarch and the minister.

The monarch will leave some according to his preferences or mood, but unless the monarch is stupid, he will completely accept what the great nobles have contributed.

Sometimes, in order to show his affection for a certain nobleman, the king will even give something in return.

Even if the monarch only left a small amount at a time, the accumulation was a large amount, resulting in the monarch not lacking slaves and goods to sell.

Lü Wu came to the slave market run by the monarch and found a trace of weirdness.

He had seen this scene once in Huocheng, and no one came to buy slaves from the monarch, and the scene looked very deserted.

And not far away, the slave market run by Sanhe looks so lively.

Lü Wu stood in front of the slave market run by the monarch, and he noticed that the people in the vicinity were looking at him strangely, and he saw the monarch who ran the slave market waiting for him to enter.

This situation is obviously wrong, so he doesn't know whether to enter or not.
