Xiao Han, who had already entered the city, naturally would not know what was happening at the city gate.

Today was the first day he came back from Qinling, and he wanted to go home directly, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better to go back to Chang'an to explain it first.

The donkey cart ran over the stone road of Chang'an Avenue, although it had just experienced a thrilling invasion, but Chang'an City was still as prosperous as ever.

Hawkers with baskets on their heads dance to sell their goods to pedestrians.

The old man carrying a straw stick and a sugar gourd was also patiently dealing with the group of children circling around him.

Of course, there are more passers-by who are in a hurry.

"Xiaodong, do you remember the first time we came to Chang'an?"

Looking at this crowd of living beings, Xiao Han, who was sitting in the car, suddenly remembered the time when he first entered the city, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"First time in town? How could you forget that! Xiao Dong, who was driving in front of him, heard Xiao Han's words, and said with a smile: "When we were in Gaoshu, we lost the fight against Xue Ju, and we were chased into the city like a rabbit. ”

"Haha, yes, I didn't expect it to be like this in a few years!" Looking at the familiar street outside with a hint of unfamiliarity, Xiao Han smiled and sighed.

"That's not it!" Xiao Dong shook the whip and made a sound in the air, and said while driving the lazy donkey forward: "But how young are you now, Master Hou?" How do you talk, a little old-fashioned? ”

"Young?" Xiao Han glanced at Xiaodong and smiled bitterly, saying in his heart that if the two lifetimes were combined, he would be in his thirties by now.

Xiao Dong didn't see Xiao Han's wry smile, but because of what he said just now, it reminded him of his memories, so he continued: "I remember that time, we ate together and slept in the tent together, and you often did wrong things and were kicked by Doctor Hua Shen......"

"Yes, that old man, it hurts to kick someone!"

was told by Xiaodong to recall the beginning, Xiao Han didn't think of anything else, but remembered the days when he was kicked.

I remember that at that time, what he wanted to do most was to remove the old man's legs.

As a result, the old man's legs are still fine, but they are no longer the same as before, and he picks up his big feet and kicks his ass when he has nothing to do.

"Hehe, Master Hou, you are also in the blessing and don't know the blessing." Xiao Dong glanced back at Xiao Han, and a narrow smile appeared on his face: "You don't know yet, there were so many apprentices of Doctor Hua at the beginning, but he just kicked you, which is also the best meaning for you." As a result, because of this, those apprentices were jealous! Later, those people united and wanted to secretly make you stumble, but the old man Hua found out, lost his temper, and expelled all those people. ”

"Huh? And what's going on? Hearing this, Xiao Han couldn't help but be stunned, if Xiaodong hadn't talked about it, he really didn't know about it.

Xiaodong nodded proudly in front of him and said, "That's right! At the beginning, I secretly told those military men that these people wanted to deal with you, so they were driven away by Doctor Huashen. As a result, when they were driven back to the army, they were brutally cleaned up by those who thought hello to them. ”

"Oh? I said how come in the end, the old man's apprentice is left with me......"

Xiao Han scratched his head, a little embarrassed, he also knew that he was really rough in many times, if it weren't for a group of people around him to take care of him, he would have been unlucky now!

"Also, when I nailed the horseshoe in our house, the fat cook scared those followers ......"

Maybe it's been a long time since I've talked about this, the more Xiao Dong talks, the more excited he becomes, and a large list of secrets that Xiao Han either knows or doesn't know spit out from his mouth, but Xiao Han who listens to it becomes more and more emotional.

Over the years, I always feel that my journey in Datang has been extremely smooth, but I never thought that there are so many undercurrents surging under this surface.

In this way, we talked all the way, and soon, the donkey cart came to the Suzaku Gate.

The tall and majestic Suzaku Gate is still standing there, but the two soldiers standing in front of the door are no longer the two little soldiers who were full of blind thoughts at the beginning.

"In the beginning, it was here."

After getting off the donkey cart and subconsciously looking back at the place where he was stationed, Xiao Han actually had a feeling of being separated from the world.

At the beginning, I had nothing but one person! Where would you have thought that now you are in a high position and there are a lot of slaves?

"yes, right here." Xiaodong didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Han's words, and thought that he simply remembered that when he first came to Chang'an, he also echoed it.

"What was I thinking at that time?"

Slowly closing his eyes, the long-lost memories rose to his heart in an instant, and those memories that were forgotten or deliberately not mentioned again clearly crossed his heart again.

It was also at this time that Xiao Han's hazy heart finally shot into a ray of sunshine.

"One day, man will live as he once hated!"

Chewing this sentence slowly, Xiao Han realized that it was not Li Shimin, nor the princes in the court, but his own heart!

I remember that at the beginning, when I was here, the first decision I made was to help Datang be called a world-renowned existence.

At that time, he was poor and white, but his heart was happy.

But after experiencing so many things, I have more, and I also begin to compete for power and profit, worrying about the loss of bits and pieces.

"It turns out that it has always been me."

Laughing, laughing, tears flowed.

This scene scared Xiaodong enough, and he hurriedly stepped forward and shook Xiao Han: "Master Hou? Master Hou, are you okay? ”

"Haha, it's okay, I'm just thinking about a bastard."

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Xiao Han took a deep breath, and his vain steps became firm again.

"Let's go, enter the palace!"

Chang'an City is big, but it's small.

In less than a cup of tea, the news of Xiao Han's entry into the palace spread among high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and as for the palace gate, there were many more people who probed their brains, waiting to see the reaction in the palace.

"Hey, this matter, no matter how you say it, it's an old house that is not authentic! If Xiao Han really can't swallow this breath...... No, I'll have to check it out. ”

Huo Guogong's Mansion, Chai Shao, who learned the news, muttered in a low voice, and hurriedly got on his horse and rushed to the palace.

In other places, there are also many fast horses, galloping towards the same goal, I don't know if Xiao Han, who is in the palace, should be surprised or relieved to see that his simple move can attract the attention of so many people.

The fast horse came to the palace, flashed the palace tooth card, and Chai Shao, who was the first to arrive, hurriedly entered.

As a result, before he could reach the main hall, he heard a very hearty laugh from inside.
