Half a month has passed since Lan Qianzhen sent the peach to return to Yanguan.

The messengers and baggage teams that had arrived from Luoyan Pass repeatedly told him,

His son and the Tao brothers left Luoyan Pass ten days ago and rushed to the royal court.

At the beginning, when he heard that his son only brought three people out of the fortress, and did not bring more defenders from Luoyan Pass, Lan Qianzhen was very happy.

"In the end, it's my son, who has courage" Lan Qianzhen thought at that time,

But slowly Lan Qianjin began to worry,

Especially after a general who escorted grain and grass came back and reported that Lan Ziyi and his party had changed their route in order to avoid horse thieves, Lan Qianzhen was even more worried.

Originally, the four of them came out, and they didn't delay all the way, and they could get to the royal court in five days, even if they changed the road, it wouldn't be too far.

But now that it's been ten days, could it be that there was an accident on the way? Or even ......

Lan Qianzhen didn't dare to think about it, he rubbed his temples and sighed softly.

Now he was pacing back and forth in the big tent,

There is a lot of paperwork backlogged on the desk, and if it had been left in the past, he would have already dealt with it.

But in the past few days, Lan Qianzhen was unable to concentrate on these documents no matter what.

Lan Qianzhen walked to the door of the tent, lifted the curtain and walked out,

It's been a while since the morning,

Although the sun did not rise to its head, it also hung high in the sky,

The snow on the ground had long since melted, and the camp was muddy with people treading on the roads.

When Lan Qianzhen saw it, he somehow started a fire, and shouted at the guards: "Pass the quartermaster!" ”

After the military order was passed down, it didn't take long for the quartermaster to rush over.

Lan Qianzhen pointed to the road and said:

"I told you to prepare some hay to pave the road, but now the road is full of mud, you tell me how to go? If there is a military situation, this roadbreaker has slipped all over before the war, and you let me be the governor of the five towns to command who to fight? ”

Seeing Lan Qian's anger, the quartermaster didn't dare to say anything, but just stood aside and promised,

Seeing that the quartermaster didn't speak, Lan Qianzhen was even more furious and scolded:

"Let you talk, you're pretending to be dumb here, asking why don't you lay hay, what are you sending me here to be in a daze?"

The quartermaster was frightened by this explosion, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and clenched his fists back:

"Back to the general, a few days ago, the general asked about this matter, and the last general specially counted the grain and grass for this, and the hay in the army was barely enough to feed the horses, and there was no rich hay to pave the road, so the snow could only be shoveled and piled up to avoid slippery roads. Now the roads in the camp are muddy, but there is really no hay to pave the roads! “

Lan Qianzhen seemed to remember this incident when he heard the quartermaster's report, and he didn't know what to say when he looked at the quartermaster kneeling on the ground.

I had to scold: "Get out!" ”

Then he lifted the curtain and went back to the tent.

Lan Qianzhen's thoughts are now confused, his heart is restless, and he wants to get angry when he sees people.

He also knew that it was not the quartermaster's fault, and he remembered that there was such an arrangement, but he just couldn't help but want to get angry.

Just yesterday, Hu Yanhao, who stayed behind in Luoyan Pass, sent a letter, which was full of self-blame, saying that he did not insist on sending troops to escort the young master, and was deeply ashamed, and had sent scouts out of the fortress, but no trace had been found.

Lan Qianzhen had already written a reply, and it was written in the letter that this matter had nothing to do with Hu Yanhao, and there was no need to send more scouts, even if he sent someone to find it, once the grassland was vast, it would be difficult to find it; There are many horse bandits, and it is not safe for scouts to send out. Although the front-line troops have withdrawn to Luoyan Pass one after another, they still have to be careful.

Although the letter has been written, it has not been sent out yet, and for some reason, Lan Qianzhen has never wanted people to send the letter back.

The only thing that made Lan Qianzhen happy was that his wife sent him a letter for the first time,

It is said to be a letter, but it is actually a note, which reads, "Child, don't worry." ”

Lan Qianzhen flipped out Madame's note and looked at it again and again.

Lan Qianzhen couldn't say why, he forgot all the other women from the first time he saw his wife, he hadn't touched other women in the past ten years,

The generals who were with him also said that he Lan Qianjin was like a different person, and he was no longer as romantic as when he was a teenager.

In the past ten years, Lan Qian's array has been innumerable, and how many times his life has hung by a thread, Mrs. has never ignored it.

Although he didn't care about him this time, every time he saw this note, Lan Qianzhen still felt warm in his heart.

Just when Lan Qianjin was distracted, the camp suddenly remembered the sound of drums, and the surrounding people and horses neighed,

Lan Qianzhen retracted his thoughts and stuffed the note into his sleeve,

At this time, the deputy general in the army, the commander of the Ghost Gate Pass, Dugu Leopard, entered the account with several partial generals and thousands of households in armor.

After seeing Lan Qianzhen, he hugged his fists and shook his fists,

Lan Qianzhen asked:

"There are drums, does anyone want to attack the camp?"

Dugu Leopard replied:

"General, there are people coming from the west, there are quite a few people, I don't know what the intention is."

Lan Qianzhen asked again:

"Where's the Wai Kugai? What's going on? ”

Dugu Leopard replied:

"I have already sent people over, waiting for the instructions of the Chinese army, whether to send troops. It doesn't seem to be with this wave of people. ”

Lan Qianzhen nodded and said:

"Ordered Oi Kugai to send troops immediately. Come! Pierce my armor! ”

A few Qianhu who followed up helped Lan Qianzhen put on the scale armor.

After Lan Qianzhen put it on, he picked up his helmet and walked out of the big tent, and Dugu Leopard followed,

Someone has already signed a horse, and several people have come up with the horse guard.

The battalion had been mobilized, and the vanguard cavalry had almost opened the camp gate to set up their formation.

The large camp on the south side also moved, the men and horses galloped, and the cavalry began to march out of the camp.

Then suddenly I saw a man riding a horse galloping towards the camp.

The sentry at the door saw it sharp-eyed, and shouted:

"It's General Peach Chase Tiger! Own! “

When Lan Qianzhen heard that it was a peach chasing a tiger, he didn't order his subordinates, and directly urged the horse to run to the camp gate.

Dugu Leopard hurriedly led his men to follow,

The group rushed out of the camp, and after walking a short distance, they met the peach and the tiger.

Tao chased the tiger and saw Lan Qianzhen and Dugu Leopard go out of the camp in person, and immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted.

Kneel and hug your fists:

"The last general will die, the escort of the young master is late, and I ask the general to forgive me!"

When Lan Qianzhen heard this, he was both annoyed and happy, and scolded:

"What about Ziyi? Why now? The emperor decreed that he should marry the Khan's daughter, if he can't come and disobey the holy decree, what should he be guilty of?! “

Peach Tiger hugging his fist again:

"The last will be damned! In order to avoid the horse thieves, we changed paths with the young master, and there were many stories that happened, and it was difficult to explain them in a word, and we had to tell the general slowly. The people in the back are the Murowei people who escorted the young master, and they are not enemies, so they asked the general to collect their troops. The last general reported that it was late, and asked the general to forgive him! “

Speaking of this, Lan Qianjin looked at the crowd in the distance, it was really a tribe, it had stopped advancing and began to camp, only seven or eight riders galloped on horseback.

Lan Qianzhen gestured to Dugu Leopard,

Dugu Leopard sent the riders behind him to inform the battalion to collect the troops in a kind way.

At this time, seven or eight riders had already ridden over, and the leaders were his son Lan Ziyi and the Tao family brothers.

Lan Ziyi hugged his fist after seeing his father:

"The child Lan Ziyi was ordered to rush to the royal court, and when he was a little short, he asked the governor to forgive his sins."

Lan Qianzhen silently took a sip and said:

"It's good to come, since there is something difficult to say, let's talk slowly."

After that, he turned back to the commander's department and entered the account, while instructing to go down, "Kill cattle and sheep, and prepare to entertain guests!" ”

Lan Qianzhen felt as if something was very discordant while riding, and then finally figured out that it was his son who could ride a horse.

Thinking of this, Lan Qianzhen's heart couldn't help but be happy,

"Hurry up and have a feast, I want to hear what happened to my son." Lan Qianzhen thought to himself

========================

At noon, Lan Qianzhen led the generals in the army to a banquet for the Khan of Kuo Kugai, as well as the leader of the Muwei people, Kuo Kuo, and his son Timoshenge, who escorted Lan Ziyi.

Lan Ziyi beckoned Kuokuo and Temusinge to be by his side, Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhutu did behind Lan Ziyi, and Tao Zhuhu sat back behind Lan Qianzhen.

Lan Qianzhen, his generals and his party listened to Kuokuo and Temoshenge tell how they met Lan Ziyi, how they made sheep, how they set up a banquet, how they were attacked by horse thieves, how they responded after the sneak attack, and how Temoshenge and Lan Ziyi led the Murwei riders to chase and kill the horse thieves, and turned defeat into victory.

A fascinating story, hearing the two of them making sheep, everyone in the tent laughed,

Hearing how Lan Ziyi also persuaded Kuokuo to command a counterattack, and how he persuaded everyone to send troops to pursue the horse thieves the next day, all the generals in the account turned around,

When he heard that Lan Ziyi was a scholar, he arranged an offensive, personally led the team to charge, and after the victory, he and Timoshenge became Anda, and the generals in the tent applauded.

Oi Kugai even got up to offer wine and said:

"The tiger father has no dogs, General Lan is extremely brave, and Lan Ziyi is even more able to fight well, which is quite the true inheritance of his father. Come, a toast to General Lan! ”

All the people in the tent toasted,

Lan Qianjin was raised high and said:

"My son deserves to be the queen of the gate, but if it weren't for the hospiness of the Son and the protection of my son, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to get here. Come, this wine is not only for me, but also for the brave and warlike Murwei riders. Cheers! ”

As he spoke, he raised a glass to Kuokuo and Timoshenge, and then drank it himself.

Kuokuo and Timoshenko nodded in greeting, and drank a glass of wine with everyone.

After that, Oi Kugai said:

"I can't marry my daughter to such a hero, it's really a blessing of immortality. Come, for the sake of my son-in-law, a toast! ”

After hearing this, Lan Qianzhen said:

"Thanks to the emperor's heavenly might, my Taizheng army drove the royal court and wiped out Qiu Doufa's clown. The Great Khan obeyed the will of Heaven and wished my righteous teacher to quell the riots, and from now on the Great Khan must be loyal to the emperor, and he must not be a traitor, let alone be ill-willed. Everyone is the emperor's people, and serving the emperor well will naturally have a great grace. My son is also married to the Khan's daughter by the emperor's will, and from now on, the two families will be one family, jointly defend the northern frontier, and be loyal to the emperor! Cheers to the Emperor! “

As he spoke, he shouted at the same time: "Long live my emperor, long live!" and then have a drink.

Listening to this, her expression stiffened, she smiled and drank a glass of wine, and stopped talking.

A young eunuch sitting next to Lan Qianzhen finished drinking and said:

"General Lan cares about the emperor, never forgets the emperor's grace, he is really the pillar of the country, I will definitely show the emperor."

Lan Qianzhen smiled:

"The first time my father-in-law was a military envoy, I supervised my northern army to fight such a big victory, this time I went back is a great achievement, how can I Lan Qianzhen, just do something I should do, if I can let my father-in-law say a few good words, it would be great."

The father-in-law smiled and raised his glass, and said:

"Thanks to the general's ability to fight well, I am also stained with the general's light."

As he spoke, he drank another glass of wine,

So everyone talked and laughed, chatted, drank freely, and was happy.
