Sou...

The Titan Python stayed in the mountains for a long time, developed a ferocious nature, and actually took the initiative to attack Yuan Xi.

"Looks like you're itching again..."

Yuan Xi had been vigilant, and when he saw that the Titan Python was ruthless, he immediately controlled it and smashed it on the stone wall in the distance. It was almost broken to the bones before he let him go.

"You've been here for a few months, you must be bored, come back to Hebei with me. In order not to attract attention, when you wait for the Huai River, you dive into the Huai River and go back by water.... ”

Yuan Xi explained to him.

The Titan Python was taught a lesson and nodded honestly.

It followed Yuan Xi and, under the cover of the woods, headed for the Huai River.

Late April.

The spring ploughing season is about to pass.

Yuan Xi took the giant python back to the capital Yecheng first.

I don't know who spread the news, but the officials in the city knew that Yuan Xi was coming back, and they all stood at the door to greet them, as well as Yuan Xi's two wives, Zhen Mi and Gao Ling, all went outside the city.

Bright flags are everywhere, swaying in the breeze.

The people of the city stood at the corners of the streets, and they all waited on the ground.

Yuan Xi wanted to enter the city quietly without alarming anyone, but seeing such a scene, he couldn't bear to ignore the intentions of the officials and the people.

"Go down."

Yuan Xi said to the four of them.

Oh...

With a long roar, it carried Yuan Xi smoothly on the official road, and then ran to the city gate at the usual speed.

"Greetings to my lord..." The ministers saluted.

"Husband..." Zhen Mi and Gao Ling also ran over without any scruples.

Gao Ling was the most daring, and he actually threw himself into Yuan Xi's arms.

Zhen Mi was shy, half a foot away from Yuan Xi, and bowed: "How is the husband?" ”

"All right, all right..." Yuan Xi helped Gao Ling and said in a low voice: "Aren't you ashamed to hug me in front of so many people?" ”

Gao Ling took a step back and stuck out his tongue: "Then don't hug it." ”

"Everybody get up."

Yuan Xi walked to the front and waved his hand naturally.

The head of Wenchen bowed his hand and said: "Congratulations to the lord, pacify the Central Plains, and return victorious." The people of Yecheng knew that the lord had won a great victory, and they all came out to bow down to greet him, which showed the kindness of the lord and the desire of the people. ”

"Congratulations, my lord..."

The officials spoke in unison.

The victory of the Central Plains War showed that Yuan Xi became the greatest prince in the world. If nothing else, calming the world is just around the corner. This is something that all officials and generals are looking forward to day by day, and Yuan Xi is also extremely excited.

But this excitement must be hidden in the heart and not get carried away.

Yuan Xi said: "The victory of the Battle of the Central Plains is all about everyone working together and using their lives. Later, I will set up a banquet and invite all the ministers to congratulate me, and I hope you will enjoy it. Now get up, and come with me into the city. ”

"No..."

Yuan Xi walked in front.

Zhen Mi and Gao Ling followed.

After that, there were the ministers of civil and military affairs, as well as the legions of soldiers, guardsmen, and janissaries.

A group entered Yecheng in a mighty way.

Soon arrived at the state capital.

Yuan Xi said: "Let's all go back." If there is anything, we will talk about it in the evening. I will hold a banquet in the state capital, and all military lieutenants and above, officials and county commanders can participate. Wouldn't it be nice for us to drink and talk about things at the same time? ”

"Obey the Lord's decree..."

Under the leadership of Fu Zhi, the civil and military officials retreated one after another.

Yuan Xi took Zhen Mi and Gao Ling's hands into the house. The maids in the house were all busy, serving tea to those who served tea, those who handed water to those who handed water, and instructed the kitchen to prepare a dinner party.

"My husband has been out fighting for a long time, and he has only come back now, did he forget me and my sister?" Gao Ling said a little unhappily.

"Who said that I have been thinking about you."

"That's weird..."

Yuan Xi and Gao Ling quarreled.

Zhen Mi was listening, but she was not annoyed, Xu had been married to Yuan Xi for a long time and was used to it. Or she has a good impression of Gao Ling, even if she flirts in front of her, she doesn't have any discomfort.

The maids brought tea.

Yuan Xi was thirsty, so he took a few sips.

"How's Zhuo'er's studies? Is there any progress? Yuan Xi asked.

Zhen Mi replied: "With Mr. Chen Lin's teaching, natural progress is very fast, but..." ”

"Something to say."

"Yes."

Zhen Mi said: "It's just that there is a lack of good martial arts masters, but the matter of learning martial arts has been left behind." ”

Yuan Xi said: "According to this, in this year, Zhuo'er has not learned martial arts?" ”

"Not really. Before General Wenchou set out on the expedition, he told Zhuo'er to exercise. So... Throughout the year, Zhuoer ran almost every day. I don't know if it will be effective for martial arts training. ”

"Of course it works." Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Although I don't know martial arts, there is no harm in exercising." If you don't have a good body, how can you practice martial arts well? ”

"But... You are also right to remind you, in the future, leave Wen Chou in Yecheng and teach Zhuo'er martial arts, and easily prevent him from going on the expedition. ”

Counting the time, Yuan Zhuo should be seven and a half years old.

This is the time to learn.

Yuan Xi advised: "I'm busy with affairs, and I don't have time to take care of Zhuo'er's affairs, so you have to pay more attention." ”

"Yes."

Zhen Mi responded.

In addition to the eldest son Yuan Zhuo, there is also the second son Yuan Wu and Yuan Zhao born to Gao Ling, who is only about a year old, so he doesn't need to study for the time being, but he also has to take care of him, Yuan Xi repeatedly told Zhen Mi and Gao Ling.

..............

Night.

All civil and military officials went to the state capital.

The back kitchen is also ready for a wine banquet.

In the back garden, a hasty celebration was held.

"My lord, I respect you." Frustrated with a smile.

"Isn't there a toast?"

"The lord returned from an expedition and won a great victory, which not only met the hope of all the people, but also made us admire. I would like to express my heart with this wine, and I would like to ask the lord not to refuse. Frustrated.

"Ministers respect the lord..."

The officials present stood up one after another.

Yuan Xi picked up the wine bottle and said loudly: "Okay, for the victory of the Central Plains War, let's drink a bottle together." Because this is the credit of all of us, and I also wish our Hebei Army will not be defeated in a hundred battles and invincible. ”

"A hundred battles are invincible. Invincible.... Everyone was in high spirits and shouted slogans.

"Come, don't get drunk today!"

Yuan Xi drank the wine as soon as he drank it.

Everyone is doing the same.

"Sit down, feel free." Yuan Xi sat down and said: "This war has been fought for a year before it can be considered calm, and we have successively captured Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Shouchun, the capital of Yangzhou. This is undoubtedly a huge victory. But we all know in our hearts that victory is bought with blood. While we inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, we also paid a terrible price. ”

"Zhang Jaw's vanguard battalion, Li Dian's wolf cavalry, and Liu Yi's spearmen were almost killed and wounded. The elite cavalry transferred from Youzhou also lost most of it, and there was not one out of ten chariots. Hundreds of thousands of our Hebei troops entered the Central Plains, and only a few tens of thousands came back, except for those stationed in the Central Plains. ”

"Every time I think about this, my heart cuts like a knife. I wonder how you guys feel? ”
