The servant shot off for a hundred miles, and then said goodbye.

Before parting, Ulan Hatu gave Li Xun his personal golden knife.

Li Xun felt that this person was really interesting, for so many days, he was playing with him, eating and drinking with him, and he wanted to give himself a few beautiful concubines, such a person is worth intersecting.

Ulan Hatu hugged Li Xun and said solemnly: "Have a good journey, I hope we will meet one day." ”

"Yes."

Li Xun nodded, someone else gave a gift, how can he return the gift, he touched it on his body, and there were only a few thousand taels of silver tickets on his body, this kind of thing is used as a return gift, it is a bit insulting, Li Xun is not so idiotic.

Touching his waist, there is a piece of jade pendant there, smooth and unpretentious, it is not ordinary at first glance, it is the last battle of Jiangnan, Li Xun performed well, and Zhao Zhi rewarded him as a special reward.

"Hatu, this is for you, it can be regarded as a testimony of our friendship."

Ulan Hatu took the jade pendant, and saw at a glance that this thing was worth a lot, so he hurriedly wanted to return it: "Li Xun, this thing is too valuable, I can't ask for it." ”

Li Xun pushed back the hand that Ulan Hatu stretched out, and said unhappily: "Between friends, don't look at these external objects, unless you are not a friend of Li Xun when I am." ”

Ulan Hatu nodded and accepted the jade pendant, and at the same time felt a little ashamed in his heart, he could see that Li Xun was not pretentious, but really regarded him as a friend.

In fact, Ulan Hatu befriended Li Xun, not his original intention, but the servant shot to let him do it, the reason is very simple, Li Xun's aunt is the noble concubine Li Yi, the favorite concubine of the Jin Dynasty Emperor Zhao Zhi, so young is to achieve the position of the general of the fourth grade, his future is limitless, let his son befriend Li Xun, there must be only benefits, not harm.

After getting along these days, Ulan Hatu has some understanding of Li Xun, this person has a free and easy personality, straightforward, big grin, informal, very approachable, Ulan Hatu also from the beginning of the perfunctory, slowly Li Xun really as a friend, otherwise he would not give him his beloved personal golden knife at the time of parting.

Ulan Hatu patted Li Xun on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "I have made this friend of yours, if you need it in the future, send someone to come to me with this knife, and I will definitely help if you can." ”

Li Xun said with a smile: "I have also made a friend of yours, if you need it in the future, send someone to come to me with this jade pendant, and I will definitely help if you can't help." ”

Ulan Hatu was stunned, glanced at Li Xun, and both of them looked up and laughed.

"Take care."

"The same goes for you."

The two said goodbye one last time.

Li Xun and the others returned the same way, passed through Anbei, joined Li Zhong, and then returned to Fengjing together.

There were also 20,000 elite cavalry returning with Li Zhong, as for Li Qingying, in the last few days of Mobei, Anbei sent someone to send news that his mother was seriously ill, Li Qingying hurriedly returned to Anbei, and Li Xun didn't have time to say goodbye to her.

Li Zhong returned to Fengjing to report on his work.

Every year in July and August, many local officials will continue to go to Beijing to report on their work, that is, to report their work, once every two years in remote areas, and Li Zhong is an outsider, he is once every three years, the last time he returned to Beijing to report on his work was two years ago, it is said that there is no need to return to Beijing to report on his work this year, but the war with Tubo, and even the war of the Dashi Empire, led to great changes in the situation in Longyou, and the military did achieve brilliant results, but politically, it is not the case, such as the hundred officials of the court in Fengjing, there is a great discussion about this, As a result, rumors spread, and Li Zhong had to go back to deal with it, explain the situation, and appease the emotions of the officials.

With the recovery of the seven states of Longyou, the 60,000 forbidden troops brought from Fengjing want to stay in the local area and guard the place, obviously they can't go back, and the military strength of the capital has weakened, in order to make up for this shortcoming, Li Zhong will use 20,000 Anbei elites to fill the forbidden army.

The crowd entered the pass through Fengzhou and Xiazhou.

Ten days later, on the sixth day of the seventh month, we finally arrived in Fengjing.

Twenty miles ahead is Fengjing City, Li Xun rode on a horse, looking at both sides of the road, there were many people trotting to follow, their faces were full of happy smiles, and some people even took food and stepped forward to give it to the soldiers.

Li Xun was puzzled: "Brother Shan, these people are all relatives of these soldiers? ”

Shan Qiu laughed and said, "Not exactly. ”

"And what are they doing here?"

Mao Anfu said with a smile: "Of course, my Great Jin army has won a big victory, and they are here to welcome." ”

Li Xun frowned and said nothing, the previous battle of Jiangnan was also a big victory, but I had never seen the people of Fengjing so enthusiastic.

Shan Qiu saw Li Xun's doubts and said: "Li Xun, in the internal war, no matter who is right or wrong, the people who die are Han people, and no one wants to see such a thing happen, but in this battle of Longyou, all the people killed are people of foreign races, and it is to recover the seven states of Longyou, and greatly increase the prestige of my Jin Dynasty, such a grand event, many people have never encountered it in their lives, how can they not be happy?" ”

Li Xun nodded, somewhat understanding.

Ten miles away from Fengjing City, Li Zhong asked the army to stop and was about to order the army to be stationed on the spot.

Dozens of horsemen came at speed from a distance.

The left attendant of the military department rushed to the front.

"His Royal Highness King An, how was the journey?"

Xie Han approached, and smiled at Li Zhong.

Xie Han is half a military general, although he was born as a jinshi, he was a local governor for many years in his early years, and he was just promoted from Xingyuan Mansion Yin to the left waiter of the military department at the beginning of this year.

Li Zhong nodded: "Everything is fine, but Your Majesty asked you to come?" ”

Xie Han smiled and said: "That's right, Your Majesty asked me to come and pass on his message, Your Highness can lead the army directly into Fengjing City, and there is no need to be stationed outside the city." ”

Li Zhong's whole body was shocked, his face was excited, and he arched his hand in the direction of Fengjing and said, "Your Majesty, Li Zhong is grateful. ”
