Lu Dun's army retreated, and the Jin army of the Northern Expedition to Yan returned to Jiankang one after another, and the day before yesterday, Lu Dun and Xu Daofu led the only remaining 780,000 soldiers to retreat to Jiujiang.

Since Liu Yi, the general of Wei, was defeated by Lu Dun, he has been looking for an opportunity to be ashamed, and now he heard that Lu Dun was defeated, so he asked the court to lead the army to fight Lu Dun.

Liu Yi and Liu Yu both rose when Huan Xuan was in turmoil, in order to compete for power and profit, now the relationship between the two is already tense, how could Liu Yu let go of such a great opportunity, and then ordered Liu Yi to be responsible for raising grain and grass in Jiankang, and he led more than 100,000 troops to kill Jiujiang and Yuzhang who retreated to Lu Xuan.

Yesterday, the imperial court added Liu Yu as a lieutenant, and Huang Yue, the middle secretary, to lead the world's soldiers and horses. Liu Yu only accepts Huang Yue, and does not accept anything else. The rest of the generals were crowned as dozens of people, and Wang Ben was crowned General Longxiang and was responsible for the defense of Jiankang City.

What Li Yan didn't expect was that Emperor Jin crowned Li Yan as a general to capture him, and the right was a reward for Li Yan to help Wang Ben annihilate the thief army in Jiankang City, and Li Yan didn't care about it at all, and he would return to Xiliang the day after tomorrow.

Liang Xing learned that he would leave for Xiliang the day after tomorrow, and he changed his previous decadence, his face was full of red light all day long, and he felt full of energy when he walked.

"General Li is really a hero, and he was rewarded by the imperial court in a few months in Jiankang City, which is really gratifying." Liang Xing walked into the hall and arched his hand to Li Yan and said with a smile.

"Haha. I really didn't dare to be it, so Lord Liang laughed. Li Yan said in return.

"I heard that the general plans to leave for Jiuquan the day after tomorrow, but is there such a thing?" Liang Xing hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

"Oh? Isn't Lord Liang attached to the prosperity of Jiankang City and unwilling to return to Jiuquan? Li Yan joked with a smile.

"General Li laughed, Liang has an old bone, and it is the duty of a minister to be able to share the worries of the prince, how dare he be nostalgic for the prosperity of Jiankang."

"Haha. Li Yan was just joking with Lord Liang, and early the day after tomorrow, we will set off for Jiuquan. Please also ask Lord Liang to prepare early. Li Yan got up and said.

"Good. With General Li's words, the old man was relieved. Liang Xing said to Li Yan again.

After Liang Xing went out, Wei Liang ran in immediately, clasped his fists and said, "General, are you looking for me?" ”

"Hmmm! When you leave for Jiuquan early the day after tomorrow, you tell your brothers to be prepared, not to cause trouble in the city, and to be more careful on the eve of your departure. ”

"Yes. The general is reassured. Wei Liang knew what to do. Wei Liang knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Yan and said.

"Go ahead." Li Yan waved his hand and motioned for Wei Liang to go down.

Li Yan lay on the bed, carefully recalling the past from Jiuquan to Jiankang, it has been half a year since he left Jiuquan, if there was no Lu Dun's army to attack Jiankang, I am afraid that he would have returned to Jiuquan by now.

Li Yan thought of his mother who was thousands of miles away, thought of Yue'er and Xin'er, and didn't know how they were doing now. There is also the West Sea that worries Li Yan, it has been half a year since he left the West Sea, and there is still thunder in Longshoujian.

It wasn't until midnight that Li Yan fell asleep, and Li Yan woke up early the next morning.

Today, Li Yan and Han Qian went to Langya Palace, to bid farewell to Sima Dewen, if it weren't for Sima Dewen to transfer himself and the Blood Wolf Guard to the inner city, the Blood Wolf Guard would have lost more than half.

Li Yan and Han Qian explained to the steward at the gate of the Langya Palace's mansion that they wanted to resign to the Langya King, and Li Yan had been to the palace several times, so the steward did not embarrass them.

After a long while, the steward trotted over, gasped and said, "General Li, the prince is in the pavilion, please come with me." The steward said and led Li Yan towards the house.

"I've seen the prince." Li Yan and Han Qian said in unison.

Sima Dewen in the pavilion was wearing a brocade robe, sitting on a jade stool, and several maids stood beside him. Sitting with Sima Dewen was a girl in a pink skirt, holding fish food in her hand and throwing it into the lake alone, laughing like silver bells from time to time.

"General Li is here, sit down."

Sima Dewen motioned for Li Yan to come forward and sit down, and then waved his hand to the maid beside him, who bowed to Sima Dewen and exited the pavilion.

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

"Huh...... Brother Li Yan, it's you who came. The girl turned around and saw Li Yan sitting on the jade stool, put down the fish food in her hand and pounced on Li Yan.

"Li Yan has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." When Li Yan saw that it was Lin'er, he hurriedly got up and saluted and said.

"Brother Li Yan, I finally saw you." Lin'er said excitedly when she saw Li Yan pulling her sleeves.

"General Li is here today, has he decided to go back to Liangzhou?" Sima Dewen asked with a smile on his face.

"Lord Qi, Li Yan has been away from Jiuquan for half a year, and he is worried about his mother, and now that the thief has retreated, Li Yan wants to return to Jiuquan as soon as possible. Today, I have come to bid farewell to the prince. Li Yan bowed and said.

"Now that General Li has decided, then King Ben won't say anything more. This goes to Jiuquan, thousands of miles away, all the way to cherish. Seeing that Li Yan was determined to return to Xiliang, Sima Dewen sighed deeply.

"Thank you for taking care of Li Yan and the sergeants under your command, the prince's great kindness and virtue, Li Yan will never forget it in this life." Li Yan said and bowed deeply to Sima Dewen.

"General Li is serious, this king is also a gesture to transfer you to the inner city, if you want to thank her, thank Your Royal Highness the princess. It was Her Royal Highness the Princess who asked the King to transfer you to the inner city. ”

Li Yan looked at Sima Dewen with a surprised face, and after glancing at Lin'er beside him, Lin'er saw Li Yan looking at herself in surprise, her little hands on her waist, and her little nose made a "hum" sound.

"Li Yan, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess." Li Yan saluted Lin'er and said.

"Alright. Brother Li Yan, you taught me a lesson about Liu Sheng's bad guy, and I want to thank you. Seeing Li Yan saluting herself, Lin'er said with a smile on her red cheeks.

"That's right, General Lee. I heard that you have offended the righteous son of the general of the chariot cavalry in the city, this person will be revenged, narrow-minded, and dare not attack you in Jiankang City, you return to Xiliang this time, remember to be cautious. Most of the imperial army is now in Liu Yu's hands, and it is still easy for Liu Sheng to secretly borrow some soldiers and horses, so you have to pay more attention. Sima Dewen said in a low voice.

"Thank you for reminding me, Li Yan remembered."

"Brother Li Yan, can Lin'er see you again?" Lin'er saw that Li Yan was about to leave Jiankang and was about to leave, so she asked with a sob.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, if there is a chance, Li Yan will definitely come to Jiankang, Your Royal Highness Princess doesn't need to be sad." Li Yan looked at Lin'er, who was teary-eyed, and comforted.

"Really?" Lin'er looked up and asked.

Li Yan nodded, Lin'er instantly burst into tears and laughed, pulling Li Yan's sleeve to wipe away the tears.

"Lord Wang, Li Yan retires."
