Chapter Seventy-Seven: Returning Triumphantly Listening to the conversation inside the tent, Xiong Dabiao, who had been guarding outside and quietly listening to the movements, smiled innocently, stood on tiptoe and walked away quickly.

Worried about the affairs of the capital, Shen Chongming and his soldiers rushed non-stop on the rest of the way, and finally arrived at Qinghedian, which was located thirty miles north of the capital in the evening three days later.

This time it was a triumphant return, and Shen Chongming had already received an official letter from the Ministry of War on the way, saying that Emperor Longqing had prepared a grand welcome ceremony, and asked him to inform him in advance of the exact time to return to the capital.

However, the official road in the winter is not easy to walk, and Shen Chongming is in a hurry to find out the exact time of arriving in the capital in advance. Although I have been thinking about this for a long time, it is only at this time that I am sure when I will be able to return to the capital. Thirty miles away, I climbed and climbed back.

Naturally, there was no welcome ceremony to be held on the big night, so the idea of going back to the city tonight was in vain, so I could only camp in Qinghedian for one night and wait for tomorrow to go back.

"Set up camp outside the town, strictly order the soldiers to go out of the camp without permission to disturb the place, and the violators will not be severely punished." Shen Chongming rolled off the horse, and before he could stand on his feet, he turned his head and commanded Brother Erdan.

Brother Erdan had to be ordered to go, but Shen Chongming was in the mood to enjoy the rare winter sunset with a sad face, he had a wife and children at home, how could he not miss it outside.

"Little Shenzi, do you miss your two sisters?" The little junior sister is also a ghost, and when she looks at him like this, she can't help but laugh.

Shen Chongming's face turned red, and he waved his hand pretending to say: "Nonsense, how many days have we been apart, where can I miss it so easily." ”

The little junior sister didn't believe it when she heard this, "Hmph, that's what you said, that person will tell them what you said when they see the two sisters tomorrow." ”

Shen Chongming was taken aback, and hurriedly said with a flattering face: "Good junior sister, don't tell them this, Yumeng is fine, in case your sister Jiayi knows, do you think I can have good fruits to eat?" Do you just want to watch your little Shenzi being bullied? ”

Only Shen Chongming can say such a numb word, the little junior sister smiled mischievously, shook her little head and said: "People don't care, the two sisters treat others like their own sisters, if you don't tell them, how can you make the family happy?" ”

Shen Chongming scratched his head for a while, this girl was forcing herself to make a killer move. With a ruthless heart and a stomp of his feet, Shen Chongming decided to carry out the flesh and numb to the end. With a big mouth, he said with a flamboyant tongue: "Good junior sister, the reason why I don't want them is because my heart is here with you, and I can't spare time at all." ”

Knowing that this was a lie, the little junior sister immediately blushed her cheeks and said coquettishly: "Flim tongue, people ignore you." With that, he took small steps and ran into the distance.

"Huh." Shen Chongming shook his head and smiled bitterly, this girl will eat this trick. Thinking about it, I have to raise my feet to visit the soldiers, so as to reflect my love for soldiers like children.

"Hey, hey, hey." But at this moment, the laughter of Brother Erdan suddenly came from behind. Shen Chongming looked back and saw that this guy was standing less than five steps behind him at some point. Looking at his expression, it was obvious that he heard what he had just said. There were three black lines on his forehead, and Shen Chongming's eyes widened and he shouted, "Come here." ”

The second brother who had already found out that something was wrong and was about to slip away, was stunned, and stood pitifully in place and didn't dare to move. "Big, big, big, my lord, my subordinates have something to look for you."

With this look, Shen Chongming couldn't tell that he was making excuses. glared at him fiercely and asked, "Say, what is the matter?" ”

"That ......" Brother Erdan's eyes rolled, and his heart was also very anxious. It's bad, and I patronize and see my adults lying all over my mouth, but I forgot about the business.

In the panic, Brother Erdan didn't choose to speak: "My lord, since the officers and soldiers in the army are not allowed to go out of the camp without authorization, then you can't go out either?" ”

Looking at Shen Chong's head with countless black lines, Brother Erdan couldn't wait to slap his mouthful, doesn't this add fuel to the fire?

"My lord, it's not like this, my subordinates want to ask, are you going to the town to rest tonight?" Trembling all over, Brother Erdan finally remembered what he was doing here.

"Hehehe, you still have a heart." Shen Chongming suddenly laughed, and quietly approached him when Brother Erdan relaxed his vigilance when he heard this. "Erdan, what did you just hear?" When he asked this, his face changed back in an instant.

Brother Erdan was shocked, and when he turned around, he wanted to escape. But where would Shen Chongming give him a chance, he grabbed his ears with his big hand and pulled the second brother back.

"My lord, my subordinates haven't heard anything, and I will never tell the two ladies when I go back, so you can let me go." Brother Erdan said the wrong thing again in a hurry, and when he saw Shen Chongming's wrist, he immediately howled miserably.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Shen Chongming set off with the men and horses to pull out the camp, and the road was slow, and he arrived in the capital at noon.

"Lord Gao, isn't it a little bad to do this, after all, Lord Shen has indeed made a great contribution this time." Li Chunfang looked at the dozens of officials scattered around, and couldn't help but say to Gao Gong.

Gao Gong brushed his beard and smiled: "Hehe, although what Lord Li said is not bad, but this battle is all thanks to the lives of the border soldiers, and Shen Chongming is only a small achievement." If I wait in the capital to celebrate him, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the border soldiers. And it's not bad to be so simple, after all, there are so many things in the yamen, where can you let all your colleagues come. ”

Li Chunfang shook his head helplessly, he really couldn't understand what this tall man was going to do, and even rejected the idea of the emperor himself to welcome the Triumphant Division, could it be that he had some ulterior motives?

Gao Gong deliberately let Shen Chongming act in a low-key manner, so naturally he would not let Emperor Longqing handle this matter in a big way. is still the same sentence, in order not to let others envy, envy and hate Shen Chongming.

You must know that once the emperor really personally led hundreds of officials to greet him, it would be a great honor, and there would definitely be people who would envy him, so it was inevitable that there would be a little jealousy.

This point is completely more harmful than good to Shen Chongming, after all, his credit is clearly there, no one can erase it, there is no need to find others to be jealous for some vain things.

rode a fast horse and galloped back, but he was ordered to go to the yacha who was waiting for Shen Chongming halfway. "Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Shen has arrived at the Ten Mile Long Pavilion, and he will be able to reach the city in a quarter of an hour."

Hearing this, Gao Gong couldn't help but smile, although he made up his mind to let Shen Chongming act in a low-key manner, but this time he made such a great achievement, Gao Gong was not happy in his heart. "Master Li, then let's work hard to welcome them." Gao Gong turned his head to Li Chunfang and said.

Only by doing this can Li Chunfang's heart be considered down-to-earth, it seems that there is really no ulterior motive for the tall man to arrange it like this.

The majestic city wall was already in sight, and at this time, Shen Chongming saw dozens of small sedan chairs coming towards him.

"Your Excellency, it's your Excellency." Relying on his good eyesight, Brother Erdan saw at a glance that it was a high arch that came out of the official sedan chair.

Shen Chongming also saw it clearly, and hurriedly got off the horse and hurried over. "Student Shen Chongming, meet the teacher." I haven't seen him for many days, and I saw Li Chunfang on Gao Gong's side, Shen Chongming directly knelt on the ground and gave Gao Gong a big salute, which is called knowledge.

"Hehe, hurry up and be polite, it's been hard all the way." Gao Gong smiled undiminishedly, and reached out to help Shen Chongming up and look up and down. It seems that marching and fighting is really hard, this kid has lost a lot of weight.

Shen Chongming accompanied the smiling face, and then turned his head to Li Chunfang and said, "I have seen Elder Li Ge, you can come, the lower officials are afraid." said beautiful words, but Shen Chongming was a little puzzled in his heart.

According to the official letter of the Ministry of War, it was supposed to be the emperor who came with hundreds of officials, why are there just so many people, could it be that something happened in the capital? Thinking about it, he quietly turned his head and glanced at Gao Gong, hoping to see some clues from the teacher's face.

It's just that Gao Gong's face is as usual, as if he hasn't encountered anything that troubles him. At this moment, Shen Chongming was even more puzzled.

"Hehe, Lord Shen is polite, this time Lord Shen led the army to triumph, and this official is honored to have the honor to come to greet him." Li Chunfang was polite, but her face was a little unnatural. To be honest, the welcome specs are a bit too low.

"Lord Gao, Lord Shen and the soldiers have worked hard all the way, let's hurry back to the city." Li Chunfang was really embarrassed to face Shen Chongming, so she didn't be too polite.

Back in the city, Li Chunfang, who was a little embarrassed, took the lead and took a group of officials to say goodbye, and Shen Chongming asked eagerly: "Teacher, is something happening in the capital?" ”

Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Hehe, don't think about it too much, go home first, and go to the house at night to have something to say to you." ”

After that, without waiting for Shen Chongming to ask again, he turned around and walked into his sedan chair, leaving only Shen Chongming standing there and the monk who was the second zhang was confused, what the hell is going on?

I couldn't figure it out, and Shen Chongming didn't bother to think about it anymore, after all, looking at the teacher's expression, even if there was something, it had nothing to do with him, so it was better to hurry home and take a look at his wife and children.

When they arrived at the door, before Shen Chongming could turn over and dismount, Xiao Ershao and Shi Bingzheng greeted him.

"Haha, Brother Shen returned triumphantly, and the younger brother is here first to say hello." I haven't seen him for many days, and Xiao Ershao still hasn't changed in the slightest, and he is still so disgusting with a hippie smile.

"Haha, Pengcheng, let's talk about the fleet." I had been thinking about this in my heart, and Shen Chongming asked before he had time to get off the horse.

"Brother Shen, today we will only talk about brotherly love, and we will not talk about official affairs, let's go for a walk and go in for a drink." Xiao Ershao also sold the guanzi, and directly pulled Shen Chongming, who had a somewhat tangled face, towards the courtyard.

Shen Chongming is indeed very entangled, what the hell is going on, why does everyone have to sell money to themselves?

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, and while the three of them walked forward side by side, Shen Chongming asked Shi Bingzheng on the side. "Ah Bing, what's going on, why don't you understand the situation in the capital when you go out for your brother?"

Shi Bingzheng had expected him to ask this question, after all, he was also clear about the affairs in the court. Not like Xiao Ershao who likes to sell Guanzi as much, Shi Bingzheng lowered his voice and said: "Brother Shen, this matter will not be clear for a while, but it is precisely because Gao Ge Lao is above the court and strongly opposes the emperor's reward to you, but no one knows what he thinks when the old man falls to the ground." ”

Shen Chongming couldn't help but be stunned, and then his brows furrowed, the teacher objected to the emperor's reward for himself, what kind of reason is this?
