As Zhou Changfeng worried, even if the big victory sent by Zhu Yuntao can determine the final belonging of the Huayu Continent; But at least the current Sanqin court has fallen into the dilemma of having dry claws and running out of ammunition. Even the 20,000 guards in Chang'an City were also loaned by the Bashu army, and they only listened to Zhu Yuntao's shouting.

Regardless of wishing Yuntao to fight the country, it is the merit of the earthquake that cannot be rewarded and sealed; Even if Zhou Changfeng wanted to reward the Bashu army, the land had not been recovered, the jade seal had not been pocketed, and there was not even a daughter in the family......

However, these small troubles at the moment are not big troubles for Zhou Changfeng, who is aspiring to reign in the world. Since there is no beneficial benefit to give away at the moment, it is at least to make up for the face, so that Zhu Yuntao can enjoy unprecedented respect and favor, so as not to bend his heart.

"Where is the King of Bashu? Where is Zhu Aiqing? ”

saw Zhu Yuntao riding a high-headed horse and breaking out of the wind and sand; The perimeter wind immediately staggered forward like an arrow off the string; The great eunuch Liang Bao was desperately chasing after him, and he also felt a mistake in his heart.

I knew that His Majesty was going to play the set of "Corporal Lixian and Greet each other backwards", so why did I bother to wipe it so hard!

Zhu Yuntao, who was riding on a horse, looked at a "golden" figure running in the distance, the corners of his mouth pulled, and he immediately turned over and dismounted, and knelt in front of the horse with a pop:

"The last general wishes Yuntao to be ordered to suppress thieves and hoes; Relying on His Majesty's blessings and soldiers' lives, they finally succeeded in the first battle. ”

When the words fell, Zhou Changfeng had already staggered to the front; He grabbed Zhu Yuntao's arms and dragged him up:

"Zhu Aiqing is now a prince, and he doesn't have to kneel down to greet anyone! I had heard from the sentry that the bloody battle had been fought for a day and a night; The battle is so fierce, has the king of Bashu ever been injured by a thief? That's it, don't be sloppy in this matter, I brought the imperial doctor with me, you come with me......"

"Your Majesty is compassionate, and the last general is unharmed and uninjured; It's just that at the moment, there are indeed thousands of seriously injured Bashu soldiers who are recuperating in the villages and counties near Huanglong Gudu; I also hope that Your Majesty can send more medical officers to treat it. ”

"That's nature, that's nature! Liang Bao, did you hear the words of the King of Bashu? You'll be in charge! If I make the slightest mistake, I'll take off your old dog's head! ”

"The old slave obeys."

After explaining, Zhou Changfeng took Zhu Yuntao's hand and wanted to walk towards Chiyang County; But Zhu Yuntao deliberately slowed down, clasped his hands into fists and reported again:

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing to do in the end. I don't know how to settle Zhou Chang'an, the imperial court? ”

As soon as Zhou Changfeng heard this, he immediately raised his hand and patted his head:

"I forgot about my cousin...... I don't know where the prisoner is? ”

"Walk with the last general."

"In that case, and send him to me."

Zhu Yuntao nodded when he heard this, and waved his hand to a personal soldier in the distance; After a riot in the Bashu army in the rear, eight strong men, pushing five-flower ties, wearing hair and covering Zhou Chang'an, came to the king of Qin.

Zhou Changfeng stretched out a hand and brushed away the other party's messy hair, revealing a middle-aged man with a full beard, blood-red eyes, and dark and yellow skin......

"This ...... This...... King Bashu can't be mistaken, right? Could this rough man be my cousin Zhou Chang'an? I have seen my fourth brother a few times, and he is clearly a handsome boy with a face as white as jade and eyes as bright as stars; But this person's face ......"

"Phew! Who is your cousin? Lao Tzu is your ancestor! ”

"Look at it, look at it, just like this, like a scholar? King Bashu can't have caught the wrong person, right? ”

Zhu Yuntao held back a smile and smashed a punch into Zhou Changan's lower abdomen, making him unable to speak disobediently; Then he grabbed Zhou Changan's hair and exposed his facial features to the sun:

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general has also been guarding the southwest border for a long time, and he has never had the honor to see the true face of the four princes. As for whether it is true or false, I still ask His Majesty to look at it to identify the authenticity of the identity. ”

Zhou Changfeng carefully identified it and found that this person's eyebrows, eyes, facial expressions, and face contours all had typical Zhou family characteristics......

"This ...... Is it really Zhou Chang'an? ”

"It should be true that this person is correct. Your Majesty doesn't know that it is nothing new for all generals who command troops to fight abroad to "waste" themselves into this appearance. Moreover, this person wears the sword of the Son of Heaven at his waist, and he has the dragon pattern jade body of the heavenly family; There are a lot of handsome seals, customs defense, holy decrees, and tiger talismans, and all of them are true, and the last general can't think of any other possibilities. ”

At this time, Zhou Changfeng was already clear about the identity of the other party's four princes. And this caution and suspicion is only because the long-awaited victory in his heart has finally arrived, which makes him somewhat suffer from gains and losses.

"Good! Good! Good! The king of Bashu captured the commander of the enemy army, and this immortal achievement is enough to pass on to future generations for hundreds of generations! When the world is unified, I will reward the meritorious ministers! Someone's coming......"

As soon as he said "come here", Zhou Changfeng suddenly stopped again. He originally wanted his guards to send Zhou Changan to the Weiyang Palace Heavenly Prison for detention; However, in order to show his full trust in Zhu Yuntao, he only mobilized a very low defense force. This trip out of the palace, the light and dark guards together, is only about 200 people. Although Chang'an City is far from Chiyang County, it is only fifty miles away; But Zhou Changan is the founder of Chiwu after all, and there are fewer escorts, so it is easy to be robbed and imprisoned by Chiwu spies halfway; There are many escorts, and their own safety is not guaranteed......

So, Zhou Changfeng pondered for a long time, and then asked:

"Wait! I heard that this battle was very tragic, and I don't know if there are any soldiers in the Bashu army who urgently need to be treated? ”

Zhu Yuntao clasped his hands into fists and replied with tears in his eyes:

"The last general thanked His Majesty for his great benevolence, and there were indeed nearly 100 soldiers in the army who were in a coma with high fever and were struggling on the edge of life and death. I also begged Your Majesty to be extra kind and allow them to enter Chang'an City to seek medical advice. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Changan twisted his brows into a big pimple, and asked with some doubts:

"Hyperthermic coma...... I heard that there was a plague in Sanjin, are these high-fever soldiers ......?"

"Nope! Your Majesty is too worried, they are not infected with the epidemic! Yesterday, when I passed through the mountain village of Ye County, I was diagnosed by a local doctor that it was just an ordinary summer heat. It's just that they lack medicinal herbs, so they can't help them in time. ”

"If only it wasn't a plague! Then ask the king of Bashu to send a part of his men and horses to send the Qin prisoner Zhou Chang'an and the wounded and sick back to Chang'an City. I and the soldiers of the Bashu Army continued to stay in Chiyang County to celebrate and congratulate! ”

Eating wine in a big bowl and eating meat in a large piece is always the most affordable reward for those who march in the army. Although the trip of the Bashu army was not an expedition of laborers, it also suffered heavy losses. Now this celebration banquet, placed in front of all the soldiers and soldiers, can also re-energize the morale of some "sinking".

What Zhou Changfeng thought about was that the next thing was to let the Bashu army protect his own "royal conquest" and collect the Yanjing City, which was already ripe, and become an immortal achievement. And the strange thing is that the soldiers of the Bashu army are also worried; There is no intention of gobbling up or swallowing cattle at all.

So the atmosphere of this celebration banquet is actually a little weird. The enthusiastic master is drunk and babbling; As a guest, the Bashu army was restrained and restrained, and acted on the spot.

If it is a perimeter wind on weekdays, it is difficult to ignore this doubt; But now Sanqin is shy and Zhou Changfeng is suffering from the inability to reward meritorious deeds, and he wants to use this way of "enjoying himself with the people" to comfort the merits of the soldiers.

Since the guests were a little unable to let go, the host first drunk himself to show his sincerity......

From noon, Chiyang County has entered a sea of jubilation and hustle; Whether it looks good or not, whether it is hot or cold, this celebration banquet still lasts until midnight, and then the curtain comes to an end. And Zhou Changfeng, who was drunk, and Zhu Yuntao, who was also drunk to the point of confusion, collapsed and fell asleep......

In the early morning of the next day, the king of Qin, who was still drunk, and the Bashu army, who had accumulated food and stomachs, staggered on the way back to the city.

Zhu Yuntao's gaze was still a little confused, but he had not forgotten the way of being a courtier. He arranged all the soldiers of the Bashu army in the camp outside the city; He took four personal guards and returned to the old Qin Palace's palace to rest; And Zhou Changfeng, with the support of the great eunuch Liang Bao, staggered back to Weiyang Palace and continued to supplement sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already midnight. Zhou Changfeng, who was swept away from exhaustion, rubbed his sour eyes, and sat on the edge of the bed to relieve himself. When he drank a sip of the cold tea, his appetite immediately turned back to a sore and painful state. Zhou Changfeng walked to the door, stretched out his hand to push open the two doors, and was blown by the cool and pleasant night breeze, only to feel his spirit also shaken......

"Liang Bao! Liang Bao! ”

shouted twice and didn't reply, Zhou Changfeng turned his head to look, only to see the direction of the White Tiger Hall in the distance, with a slight candle flame flickering; After recalling it carefully, he shook his head and laughed.

Liang Bao, an old slave, is really very careful. He knew that after that battle, tomorrow morning the dynasty would inevitably be turbulent; And as the head of the inner court, it is also reasonable for him to personally supervise the clean-up preparations in the White Tiger Hall overnight at this time.

The imperial study is not far from the White Tiger Palace, and it is only half an hour to walk. Zhou Changfeng wore a bright yellow bedrobe and accompanied by the cool night breeze, and walked slowly outside the gate of the White Tiger Palace......

"Zhou Chang'an! How did you end up here! ”

As soon as King Qin raised his eyelids, he saw a middle-aged Confucian scholar sitting on his dragon chair reading the recitals; And the old eunuch beside him is also the chief administrator of Weiyang Palace, Liang Bao!

As soon as Lao Liang Bao heard the voice of his master Zhou Changfeng, his face immediately appeared with incomprehensible horror and panic; However, when he looked down at Zhou Chang'an, the fourth prince who was immovable, he had to bite his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he shook off the dust on his arm, and reprimanded sharply:

"Bold! Rude! On your knees! How dare you call Your Highness by name! ”
