Li Chengqian sat on the main seat, and all the members of the group sat down, chatting with each other in their rare leisure, but there were also many people who frequently cast mocking glances at Cai Cong.

The commander of the squad did not even receive him when he returned to the dynasty, but a general returned to the dynasty but asked for the prince, and hundreds of officials greeted him, and even the commander had to come to greet him.

It seems that the speculation that Cai Cong's killing was too heavy for the emperor to suspect is not groundless, and the emperor is indeed dissatisfied with him, otherwise he would not humiliate him like this.

"These are some people! is not ashamed or boring, as the commander of the three armies, not only did he return coldly, but he lost his temper and disturbed Chang'an. Now sitting here waiting to greet his subordinates can still talk and laugh with others, I have to say that this cheeky is thick enough! Brother Zhang Liang, do you say yes or no? ”

After all, the eldest grandson Anye couldn't bear it, stood up and said loudly, and asked Zhang Liang at the end, and the nobles of Chang'an had the deepest hatred between him and Zhang Liang and Cai Cong.

Zhang Liang raised his head and glanced at him in surprise, lowered his head and continued to drink with himself, but he didn't hear his words.

The eldest grandson Wuji was still chatting with Fang Xuanling, but when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Anye, his face suddenly turned like frost, and he turned his head to look at him.

The eldest grandson Anye didn't care about his eyes at all, he looked at Cai Cong proudly with his head held high, he had suppressed it for so many years, wasn't he just waiting for Cai Cong to take revenge on him when he lost power?

"Eldest grandson ......"

"It's useless to call adults, you're really embarrassed! Throughout the ages, you are the first to be so embarrassed by the coach. ”

The eldest grandson Anye said proudly, when did Cai Cong look at himself before, but now he wants to call himself an adult.

"Lord Eldest Sun, is this what your eldest grandson family means, or is it your eldest brother making his own decisions?" How could Cai Cong put this mediocrity in his eyes, he asked calmly to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Chang'an Hou, forgive me, this is my eldest brother who is not talented, you are a first-class wise man in the world, I hope you don't worry about him in front of my sister."

The eldest grandson Wuji was extremely annoyed, didn't this stupid big brother know that his words and deeds represented the eldest grandson's family? Humiliating Cai Cong in public like this and wanting to fall into the ground, what will others think of the eldest grandson's family? What's more, who said that Cai Cong must lose power?

"But once and again, Ben Hou hopes that this is the last time, since people are stupid, they should hide at home, don't come out to find death."

Cai Cong said coldly, the eldest grandson Anye was angry in his heart, and he was about to scold, but he saw that Fang Yuan's knife behind Cai Cong was half out of the sheath, and he looked at himself with infinite murderous intent.

was disturbed by him like this, and the good atmosphere also condensed into ice, except for a few top bigwigs chatting with each other, everyone else stopped talking.

Thinking in his heart, why the eldest grandson Wuji would be so polite to Cai Cong, even if Cai Cong did not lose power, his eldest grandson Wuji did not need to be afraid of Cai Cong. In other words, except for offending the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty at one time like last time, his eldest grandson Wuji is not afraid of anyone at all.

Time passed slowly in such a strange atmosphere, and the spies came to report that Meng Baolai was less than five miles away from the Shili Pavilion, and Li Chengqian immediately ordered music to be played, and ordered hundreds of officials to line up and wait to greet him.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like raindrops, and everyone's eyes lit up, although they were all dressed in tatters, and some of them were still missing arms and legs, and carried half of a spear.

However, their spirit was too full, and such a small team was coming, and many veterans were actually nervous, instinctively thinking about how many troops they needed to use to resist their onslaught.

However, before they could calculate it, Meng Baolai and they had already arrived in front of the Ten Mile Pavilion. Meng Baolai waved his hand, everyone turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Li Chengqian.

"The last general, Meng Baolai, came to see the prince."

"Meet the Prince."

Meng Baolai walked up to Li Chengqian and shouted to make a big salute, but Li Chengqian grabbed his arm and grabbed him. He said very emotionally: "General Meng, hurry up and excuse me, you and all the soldiers will fight against the enemy country, raise the prestige of our country, and thank you for everything you have done for my Datang." ”

Li Chengqian said solemnly and made an ancient salute, and the hundred officials also bent down and shouted: "Welcome the general back from a hundred battles." ”

The people in the distance also shouted to welcome the general's return from a hundred battles, and the sound was wave after wave, from Shili Pavilion to Chang'an City.

At such a grand moment, only Cai Cong did not move, standing straight and looking at Meng Baolai, his eyes full of heartache. He counted it again and again, five hundred and ninety-four, how could it be that he had counted it wrong? Even if it's 600 people! At least four more people will live!

After the ceremony, Li Chengqian presented a reward on behalf of Li Shimin, and Meng Baolai was promoted to the viscount of the founding county by virtue of his military merits, making Luoyang a different position, which can be described as a great glory.

After three resignations and three invitations, Meng Baolai took the holy decree from Li Chengqian's hands, Li Chengqian encouraged him a few words, found that his eyes were erratic, so he smiled kindly and made a way.

Meng Baolai glanced at Li Chengqian gratefully, and walked forward slowly, and the remaining five hundred and ninety-three people also followed his pace, and the officials blocking the road automatically and consciously flashed to the side, and at this time, I don't know if they will be beaten.

"Meet Lord Hou, his subordinate Meng Baolai led five hundred and ninety-three people to ask for the reconstruction." Meng Bao said that the tears came down, and he couldn't stop flowing. The iron-blooded man who just had evil in his eyes is now crying like an aunt.

The other soldiers were no better, crying one by one, and the helpless march on the vast snowfield for half a year was supported by faith, and now they finally saw Hou Ye.

"Ben Hou...... Permission was given to Xu Er and other thousands of people to return to the building, make a record of meritorious service, and erect a monument as the goal of our new army's latecomers to catch up. Get up! Stand ~ Positive! ”

Cai Cong shouted with all the strength of his dantian, and everyone got up in unison, stomped their feet, and stood in front of Cai Cong like a spear.

Everyone present was shocked, these unruly and arrogant generals were as docile as little sheep in front of Cai Cong, what charm did Cai Cong have to make them so obedient?

"Baolai, I let you return a thousand people, where are the remaining four hundred and six?" Cai Cong asked loudly, Meng Baolai closed his eyes in pain, their march was too difficult, if they still had to carry corpses, they would only be wiped out.

"The subordinates are incompetent, the corpses of your brothers are still in Goguryeo, and Baolai always wants to be in time, and he can't replace him with his body." Meng Bao said as he said with tears the size of beans in his eyes.

"Don't be sad, you have worked hard, I know all of you. But we have not been in the habit of leaving our brethren behind, not before, not now, and not in the future. ”

Cai Cong comforted Meng Baolai softly, and suddenly said in a loud voice, "Where is Fang Yuan?" ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"I order you to take my edict to Goguryeo, and order Yuan Taizuo to collect the corpses of the four sets, and be sure to return the bodies of all the brothers. But whoever humiliates the bodies of his brothers will hand them over all over the house, otherwise don't blame Ben Hou for being ruthless. ”

Cai Cong's domineering words made everyone feel that they were listening to the Arabian Nights, a prince wanted to give orders to the powerful ministers of the enemy country to blackmail the Son of Heaven, and with a threatening tone, isn't the person who sent the letter dead?
