Countless vehicles blocked the road, making it impossible for pedestrians to pass, these were carriages, donkey carts, transporting a large number of supplies, the groom was in a hurry, these were the materials to be sent to the side, it could not be delayed, the groom jumped on the car, shouted to the front: "Ahead! Get out of the way! If you delay my delivery, Zhuge Linggong will not be able to spare you!! ”

It is said that a few thin horses died of exhaustion on the road, causing a big accident, and the horseman's angry rebuke did not cause a trace of waves, and the horsemen in front of them did not even turn their heads, here, which one is not here to transport supplies? Private carriages are not allowed on the road at all, and this is not the first time that such a noise has been made.

Only the groom, who was responsible for the forced labor, hugged his thin horse by the neck of his tired horse, and couldn't help crying.

This scene brought a bit of excitement to the snowy world, and several grooms gathered behind him and laughed.

"Didn't this guy raise horses as concubines?"

A few not-so-funny jokes make up this real joke.

Similarly, there are many people who went to Hezhou to serve in the conscription, these people walked towards Hezhou under the leadership of the local officials, their faces were a little tired, but they would not be as tired as those beasts who could not speak, their lives were much better than those animals, at least, Zhuge Linggong was still very concerned about their arrangements, and a lot of post stations were built along the way, and they could rest for a while every distance.

As for the slaves brought from Xizhou, they are not so lucky, most of these poor people are from Guishan, for Guishan, the Han is contemptuous and hostile from the heart, especially in Hebei, it is these Guishan people who killed their brave camp, therefore, these slaves from outside Xizhou, life is even more miserable.

Listening to the scolding of the people in a daze, some people cursed them, they should be burned to death to sacrifice to the Xiaoyong camp, but they didn't know anything, they were sold to the Han merchants by the Guishan nobles, and they were bought by the Xizhou Mu and sent to the people outside the Hezhou Saiwai, just as they didn't know why it was so cold here, they didn't know why the people here were so hostile to themselves.

They don't know what the Xiaoyong Camp is, and even, what these people are shouting at themselves, they don't know, along the way, this cold winter alone has taken the lives of more than 6,000 people, but they have always lowered their heads and endured, after all, they have long been used to it, in Guishan, in Dahan, for generations.

In such a long dragon leading to Hezhou, there is still a group of people, surrounded by elite soldiers, strong horses recklessly stepped across the snowfield, towards the heart of the Central Plains, galloping away, this line of people, is the prince and his entourage who returned to Luoyang, Hu'er rode a horse, drove by, the surrounding scene, can not attract his attention, he has long been used to it.

After learning from Zhuge Liang that his master was seriously ill, Hu'er rushed back to see Zhang Liao, and informed Zhang Liao of these things, Zhang Liao naturally would not stop the prince, and even sent Jiang Wei to let Jiang Wei follow Hu'er and accompany him all the way.

In the end, Jiang Wei went back with Hu'er alone, and Lu Meng was demoted by Zhang Liao, and in the name of disobeying military orders, he was demoted to a military marquis, and everyone was not surprised, after all, this is not the first time that Lu Meng has been demoted, if he hadn't been confused, he would have become a real-name lieutenant by now.

The prince was anxious, and Jiang Wei also understood that he didn't dare to stay all the way, and finally, in the autumn of the twentieth year of Yankang, the group returned to Ruoxian.

The captain of the city gate has changed, it is not the Sima Fu that Hu'er knows, it is a young guy, when Hu'er and his party rushed to the city gate in a hurry, they were immediately intercepted by the soldiers with spears, Jiang Wei was furious and reprimanded: "Don't be rude!" The soldiers were frightened by his momentum, and only then did they take a few steps back.

Then, the young man who served as the captain of the city gate came over, to Hu'er's surprise, this person's appearance was somewhat similar to Zhuge Liang, the man just glanced at Hu'er in front of him, and asked very calmly: "I don't know who is coming?" Hu'er didn't speak, but Jiang Wei walked up and passed the test to him.

The man took the inspection pass, looked at it for a while, did not panic, respectfully saluted Hu'er, did not speak, just let the soldiers get out of the way, Hu'er looked at this person with some surprise, in his possession of the great worship, walked into the city, entered the city, Hu'er then asked: "Who is the captain?" Do you know him, boyo? ”

Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, hurriedly shook his head, and said, "I haven't seen it in military science, I think it's a talent with an assessment background... However, I think he...", he wanted to say something, shook his head, still didn't say, and for some reason, just met for the first time, he didn't like this young man very much, he seemed to be a very city person, but his appearance was good, and he was a little similar to Zhuge Linggong.

Riding a horse, all the way to Taixue, Hu'er and others turned over and dismounted, Hu'er hurriedly walked towards Taixue, at this moment, he was not recognized by those brothers in the past, in the past few years outside the Saiwai, his whole person has undergone great changes, from appearance, from character, from momentum, are different from before.

Outside the familiar study, Hu'er pushed open the door and walked in.

In the house, Cui Yan, who was quietly flipping through the book, was stunned for a moment, and raised his head with some annoyance, who dared to be so bold and enter without telling him? When he raised his head, he was stunned, Hu'er looked at Shi Jun excitedly, he was already taller than Cui Yan, standing in the middle of a group of tall entourage, he didn't feel short, his complexion became much darker, and his momentum was a little stronger.

"Master!" , Hu'er screamed and bowed to Cui Yan, with tears in his excited eyes.

"Tiger?? How did you.. When did you come back? Cui Yan hurriedly stood up, walked to Hu'er's side, looked at the disciple in front of him, and asked, "I heard that Shijun is seriously ill!" I'm in a hurry to come back... Master, how are you? Are you alright? When I saw my father's letter, I was so anxious to die...", Hu'er took Cui Yan's hand and chatted.

"Seriously ill?" , Cui Yan was a little puzzled, and suddenly remembered something, so he nodded and said: "Yes, I had a small illness before, and I annoyed Your Majesty and forced you to come back, but I have already recovered, there is no big problem, you have just come back, you should go to see your parents first, and then come to visit the teacher, how can you run to me first?" It's better to go back to the Houde Hall as soon as possible, and come back to see me in a few days. ”

Cui Yan said solemnly, Hu'er got up, "It's good that Shijun is okay, I'm scared of Hu'er, it's okay, then I'll go to see my parents first, and I'll come to see Shijun tomorrow!" Hu'er bowed to Cui Yan and left the study.

Seeing Hu'er leave, Cui Yan frowned, and he didn't know what he was worried about.

Jiang Wei still came to the palace for the first time, as the crown prince's personal entourage, he encouraged himself, must not show cowardice, the palace guards are very vigilant, as early as when they came on horseback, they have already stopped them, Hu'er looked at the person who stopped him, and scolded: "Wang Hu, you are a fool, you dare to stop me when you are promoted?!" ”

The man's eyes widened, looked at the young man in front of him, only then did he recognize him, and hurriedly led everyone to worship, Hu'er led his relatives into the palace, however, Jiang Wei and the others were still taken away weapons, Hu'er ordered a eunuch to take Jiang Wei and others to the East Palace, but he walked towards the Houde Palace, and just walked in front of the Houde Palace, he met an acquaintance, Qi Yue.

"Hahaha, Husband Qi? Long time no see! Hu'er walked up with a smile, Qi Yue also smiled back, and bowed to the prince, "Slave and maid meet Bingdian!" Hu'er nodded, and didn't say anything to him, so he rushed into the Houde Palace, "Father!" I'm back!! ”

Entering the Houde Palace, Hu'er was stunned.

Liu Xi sat in front of the desk not far away, his hair was pale, even his beard was mixed with a touch of silver, his handsome face was also thin, and the whole person looked very tired, the Son of Heaven slowly raised his head, and he was also looking at his eldest son, seeing the burly and sturdy prince in front of him, the Son of Heaven also showed a smile, and stood up, but Hu'er was already as tall as him.

Only then did the Son of Heaven notice his height and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "You're back?" ”

"Hmm!"

Before Hu'er arrived, he obviously had a lot of words in his heart and hid a lot of stories, but at this moment, he didn't know what to say, looking at his father's appearance, his eyes were a little red, as for Liu Xi, the same is true, all kinds of words are blocked in his throat, without speaking, the two were silent for a long time, and Liu Xi said: "Your mother has been talking about you all day long, you go and take a look." ”

"Respectfully!" , the tiger possessed and bowed.

Returned to the palace, Hu'er was very happy, his mother hugged him, crying loudly, Hu'er persuaded for a long time, the queen stopped crying, as for his younger brother, to get sick, now he has grown up, afraid to hide behind his mother, he didn't know his brother, Hu'er didn't bring any gifts, I don't know how to coax him, in short, in the palace, with the return of the prince, it looks jubilant.

It's just that Father's slightly rickety figure has been engraved in Hu'er's mind, and he can't forget it.
