The grassland in late autumn is already a little chilly.

After arranging the affairs of the remaining army, under Li Jing's order, the soldiers who went out on the expedition began to embark on the way home, and the long line stretched into the distance, with no end in sight.

Different from the heaviness when they came, the soldiers at this time all had a kind of triumphant joy and wanted to return home early and reunite with their loved ones.

Li Jing's mood was a little complicated at this time, Wang Shi won the victory, and he attacked Tuyuhun and returned triumphantly, which should have been a happy thing, but he was mixed with a trace of loss in his heart at this time.

Li Jing thought that this might be the last time he led the troops, firstly, because he was old and wanted to make way for the young generals of the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, his merits were high enough, plus this time he led the troops to Tuyuhun, and the entire Datang was unmatched.

Although His Majesty Li Er does not have the habit of killing meritorious heroes now, Li Jing himself has to avoid it, and it is a taboo thing for the emperor to be a master of high merit in any dynasty.

No matter what kind of psychology he had, it was very unlikely that Li Jing would go out to lead the troops in the future. In the future, it is also wrong to be an idle farmer, and to teach a few apprentices in idleness, a figure appeared in Li Jing's heart, "This kid, I don't know if I want to." He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

If this is the final battle of his life, and ending his life's battle with such a glorious battle, it can be regarded as perfect. Thinking of this, Li Jing's mood improved a little.

"Uncle Cheng, I don't know how the business in Chang'an City is going?" Chu Ze rode on the tall Zhuyue, ran to the side of the Great Demon King Cheng, and asked with a smile.

Cheng Da Demon King didn't know what to do, and said with a puzzled face, "What business?" ”

"Our business? Did Uncle Cheng forget? "Chu Ze is a little anxious, don't hack me.

Great Demon King Cheng said loudly: "What business do we have? The old man never does business, you kid don't want to dirty the old man's innocence, be careful that I smoke you! ”

"Innocence? Phew! How many businesses in the west city of Chang'an City belong to your Cheng family!! The villain in Chu Ze's heart began to be uneasy.

You have to let me say yes, okay, you're ruthless! "Uncle Cheng, wine, wine.." Chu Ze's attitude when he spoke at this time, as if he was kneeling in front of the ancestral hall, he was respectful, there was no way, the money was held by others, he didn't dare to be disrespectful, I didn't get angry, I just put up with it, money is the most important thing, Chu Ze kept telling himself in his heart.

"Oh, you say this, don't worry, the old man is an honest man, and your share is indispensable." Cheng Da Demon King pretended to be like waking up from a dream and said.

"Yes... Yes, Uncle Cheng is an honest man. After speaking, Chu Ze looked up at the sky, fortunately the sky was clear, there was no thunder, and if he lied, he would be struck by thunder.

"Chu Ze, we will go back to Chang'an soon, what do you want to do after we go back?" Cheng Chuliang, who was by Chu Ze's side, said that since Chu Ze rescued Cheng Chuliang in the military formation that day, Cheng Chuliang was like a fart, following Chu Ze every day, but he didn't follow the toilet.

Chu Ze lowered his head and said, "Eat, sleep." ”

"That's so boring, I want to go to Cuiyuan..."Thinking that the Great Demon King Cheng was on the side, Cheng Chuliang stopped halfway through speaking, and his mouth seemed to be zipped, and it was closed instantly.

Chu Ze stroked a middle finger, it's really cute, no matter what the occasion, you dare to say anything, wait for the big demon king to pump you.

Although Cheng Chuliang reacted quickly, the Great Demon King Cheng still heard it, turned his head and glared at Cheng Chuliang fiercely, did not scold him, nor beat him, in Chu Ze's opinion, it should be the Great Demon King Cheng who saved it for him, waiting to beat him hard.

"Cuiyuan Building is really good, the old man hasn't been there for a long time, and he must go secretly once when he comes back to Chang'an City." Cheng Da Demon King rode on the horse and thought seriously, closing his eyes and recalling the glorious moment in Cuiyuan Building.

"Chu Ze, when we return to Chang'an, it's almost the New Year, I wasn't in Chang'an last year, and I'll take you to a fun place this year."

Cheng Chuliang was quiet for a while, seeing that his father didn't beat him, Cheng Chuliang, who was riding on the horse, began to be active again.

"Yes, it's almost the New Year again, what's so fun in Chang'an City?" ”

When Chu Ze was in his previous life, the pace of social life was very fast, and the taste of the New Year became weaker and weaker, and even some people used mobile phones instead of New Year's greetings. Chu Ze wanted to know how the ancients celebrated the New Year, and asked curiously.

Cheng Chuliang said with a smile, "That's too much, hehe.. You'll know when the time comes. ”

Seeing that Cheng Chuliang didn't say anything, Chu Ze didn't plan to ask any more, it was good to leave some expectations for the unknown.

Time flies quickly, it has been almost a year since Chu Ze came to Datang, a year ago he was on a mission in the desert, and a year later he was riding a horse on the shore of Qinghai Lake, although he had adapted to life here, but Chu Ze still felt a little unreal.

Here Chu Ze is like a dream, everything he has experienced in Datang seems to be a dream scene, and only when he wakes up from a dream can he clearly realize that these things are still in reality.

Riding on the horse, Chu Ze thought a lot, thinking of his parents in his previous life, and for a moment he seemed to have returned to his previous life, in that desert, under that bright moon, with his team members waiting for the appearance of the target.

"What do you think Chu Ze, so engrossed?"

Cheng Chuliang's voice sounded in his ears again, Chu Ze woke up from his fugue, rubbed his face and said, "Homesick." ”

"I'm homesick too, I want to go..."Turning his head to look at the Great Demon King Cheng next to him, Cheng Chuliang didn't dare to continue. After a pause, he said, "We'll be back soon, hehe." ”

Chu Ze nodded and did not speak again.

"This home is not the other home, and that home can never go back." Chu Ze said in his heart.

Thinking of my current family, I have been on the expedition for so long, and I don't know what is going on at home, my mother must be looking forward to my return in the small courtyard, and my sister must be playing crazy every day, I don't know if my mother has found a family affair for my eldest brother, thinking of these Chu Ze feels that he has roots in Datang and has concerns.

The army that went back, because there were countless more livestock, was much slower than when it came, and the army walked for half a month before arriving in Liangzhou City.

After nearly a year, Liangzhou City has returned to its former prosperity at this time, as if nothing had happened in the past.

Looking at Liangzhou City, Chu Ze remembered that in the battle of Liangzhou City, Zheng Erbao, a young man who was not a few years older than Chu Ze, was in the same group as Chu Ze, and was pierced through the chest by the scimitar of the Tuyuhun soldier in that war, and never fought again, staying at that moment forever.

Chu Ze hates war, but he has to face war, because the weak and the strong naturally exist, the country is weak and people are bullied, passive or active, and it is inevitable. War can only be mastered when the country is strong.

"Maybe it's time for me to do something." Chu Ze thought in his heart.

The triumphant army rested in Liangzhou for two days and replenished its supplies, and then continued its march to the southeast of Chang'an City.
