Zhao Ziliang came to the post house accompanied by Bi Sichen, followed by a Sogdian, and Zhao Ziliang specially found him to be a translator. The two jumped off their horses, handed over the war horse to Hu Cong, and walked into the post house together, talking about the training of the garrison of the city in the past few months, Bi Sichen's introduction said that in the past few months, the garrison of the city has completed all the plans made before Zhao Ziliang left, and the army of more than 1,000 people is now not what it used to be, whether it is infantry or cavalry, it is very elite, in Bi Sichen's eyes, the garrison of the city is now more elite than the Shule army directly under the command of the capital protectorate.

Only listening to Bi Sichen, Zhao Ziliang was not at ease, and decided to rush back to the city after Bi Sichen handed over.

When the post house heard that two generals were coming, they ran over and nodded to greet them, Zhao Ziliang did not look at this kind of person differently, but he would not be disgusted, and it was not easy for people to mix in the officialdom.

There are Zhao Ziliang's servants guarding the post house to prevent the bad guys from being unfavorable to the lions and fire rats offered by Cao Ye Naji and King Shi Guo, so the post house is very quiet, no one speaks loudly, and no one dares to make trouble among the past merchants who live in the post house.

"Yi Cheng, are the Hu Maiden, lions, fire rats and other tributes that Fanbang presented to His Majesty the Emperor okay?" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand to the cautious Yicheng and asked.

Yi Cheng hurriedly said: "General rest assured, with you soldiers guarding here, who will be presumptuous?" If there is such a person, then he is really impatient."

Under the leadership of Yi Cheng, Zhao Ziliang and Bi Sichen first checked the situation of the lion and the fire rat, these beasts are in good condition, even if they are locked in a cage, the cage has not been covered with a black cloth, and they are still alive and well.

Finally came to the Tianzi No. 1 room where Cao Ye and the two maids lived, Yi Cheng walked to the door first and bent down and said, "Two generals, this is it!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "You go down first, there is something that the general will call you!" ”

"No!" The post respectfully stepped back.

The door didn't close. Zhao Ziliang and Bi Sichen walked in one after the other.

In the room, Cao Ye sat in front of the dresser dressed as a Sogdian aristocratic woman, and her clothes were full of gold, silver, jade, agate, and jade.

"General Zhao is here, please take a seat!"

After the Sogdian translator, Zhao Ziliang clenched his fists, sat down and arched his hand: "Cao Ji is still used to living here in the past two days?" ”

Cao Yena nodded: "Fortunately, although the customs here are many different from those of Shi Guo, there are still similarities. Everything else is fine, but I can only stay in the room, which makes people feel panicked."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "I will leave for Chang'an in two days, the further I go, the more different the customs along the way from the Zhaowu countries, as long as Cao Ji holds the mentality of 'coming here, then being safe', she will be able to make her feel happy, and she will slowly get used to her life and diet." If Cho Ji brought soil from her hometown, she could brew it with boiling water and drink it, which was said to cure discomfort and illness caused by not adapting to the soil and water. In addition, since staying in the room all the time will make Cao Ji feel very bored. In the end, he could arrange for Cao Ji to go for a walk on the street, visit the market, and if Cao Ji saw something she liked, she could buy it and take it to Chang'an. Everything bought is paid for by the end of the world. It's just that when you set off again, it will not be escorted by the last general, but by this General Bi escorting Cao Ji all the way to Chang'an."

Cao Ji got up and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said, "Thank you General for everything you have done for Cao Ji." Along the way, for a few months, Cao Ji felt that the general was completely different from others, this difference, Cao Ji couldn't say what it was, in short, the general was a very special person, Cao Ji always heard that it would be sad to be far away from home, but along the way with the general, Cao Ji didn't feel this way, except for the first few days of reluctance, everything was fine. Cao Ji was puzzled, why was the rest of the road not replaced by the general Bi instead of the general continuing to escort Cao Ji? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Presumably, Cao Ji has heard in Shi Guo that we are going to send troops to attack the Turgish, so this time I will stay and go out with the army, and the contact between my Tang Army and the Zhaowu Kingdoms also needs to be carried out in the future, so I really can't get out!" This general Bi Sichen is a combat experience, martial arts are not lost to the last general, by him escort you along the way, you will be very safe, from here to Chang'an although there are thousands of miles away, but this road is the land of my Tang Dynasty, the residents do not close their doors at night, the road is not forgotten, Cao Ji can rest assured of his own safety. If Cao Ji is favored by His Majesty after entering the palace, when the last general goes to Chang'an in the future, he also asks Cao Ji to take care of the last general in terms of friendship along the way in the past few months."

Cao Ji nodded: "The general's meaning, Cao Ji understands!" If there is a day, as long as the general speaks, Cao Ji will do his best! ”

After coming out of the room, Zhao Ziliang said to Bi Sichen: "Brother Bi, let's count this as the official handover, today I will rush back to the city overnight, the day after tomorrow when you set off, I can't come to send it, when you pass through the city, I will go out of the city to greet you!" ”

Bi Sichen nodded: "Okay!" ”

The escorted soldiers and horses were all replaced by two hundred elite cavalry sent by the town guard, Zhao Ziliang brought back all his subordinates, and Bi Sichen led the troops to take over the security of the post house.

Zhao Ziliang led his entourage to his manor outside Shule Town, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Chen Qingying's mother and daughter drying clothes, and the two mother and daughter saw him come back and immediately saluted.

Zhao Ziliang's face was a little unpleasant, and he frowned: "Mrs. Wang, didn't we say that when your mother and daughter enter the land of the Tang Dynasty, they will leave on their own?" How did you get here? ”

Chen Qingying's mother and daughter both lowered their heads, not knowing how to speak, at this time Chu Ge walked over quickly and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said: "General, it is the idea of subordinates to keep them, their mother and daughter don't have much money in their hands, this money won't last long, and when the money is spent, they haven't found a job yet, and they have no place to live, so they can only wait for death?" Since the general saved them, he simply saved them to the end. In addition, the subordinates thought that the general was surrounded by some men, and could not do without women to do laundry, cooking, and housework, so they took the initiative to leave their mother and daughter, pay them every month, and wait for them to save enough money to settle down outside, and let them leave if they wanted to leave at that time! ”

Zhao Ziliang listened to Chu Ge's words, and he had to make some sense when he thought about it, so his face looked a little better, and he nodded: "Okay, you just stay for the time being, do what you can, and when you save enough money, when you want to leave, just tell Chu Ge!" ”

If the mother and daughter were amnesty, they were grateful: "Thank you general, our mother and daughter will serve the general wholeheartedly!" ”

This was too ambiguous, Zhao Ziliang shook his head helplessly and walked towards the courtyard.

As soon as he drank a cup of tea, a servant came over to report: "General, there is a carriage outside the door, and a woman has sent a letter from above, saying that it is for the general to open it himself!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang took the letter and opened it to look at it.

After reading the letter, Zhao Ziliang knew that it was Mrs. Meng who came, thought about it, and said to Hu Cong: "You go and lead the carriage to come in through the side door, don't make a noise, don't let others know!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Ziliang's feelings for Mrs. Meng are complicated, just like Mrs. Meng's feelings for Zhao Ziliang, the relationship between the two is not a normal lover, but it is closer than a normal lover.

The two met this time for a long time and a rainy day, lingering from the afternoon to the evening, because Zhao Ziliang had already given the order, even Chu Ge and Chen Qingying were blocked out of the backyard by Hu Cong, and they didn't come out of the backyard until Zhao Ziliang sent Mrs. Meng away from the side door.

Mrs. Meng came over this time not simply to complain to Zhao Ziliang, nor did she completely solve her physiological needs, but also brought her to eavesdrop on the conversation between Bian Lingcheng and Steward Gui in the morning, Zhao Ziliang was also quite emotional after listening, I didn't expect that Bian Lingcheng This kind of traitor also has a good side, although this person is treacherous and ruthless, but this person's loyalty to the emperor and the Tang Dynasty is beyond doubt.

After dinner, Zhao Ziliang took more than 100 people from the overnight to the city, as for Chen Qingying's mother and daughter and blacksmith Fu Kun and others on the road the next day and then rushed there.

Zhao Ziliang and others hurried up, and it only took three days to rush to the city, and on the afternoon of arriving in the city, Zhao Ziliang didn't even go to the mansion to guard the city, and came directly to the barracks.

Not long after Zhao Ziliang entered the barracks to watch the soldiers drill, the generals and colonies who got the news stopped training one after another and rushed over.

"Welcome the general back to the camp!" Wei Meng, Li Siye, Huo Kan, Lei Wu, Chen Biao, and Liang Qi bowed down at the same time.

Since the last time Zhao Ziliang and Panzhu Junxiu escorted the captives back to Shule Town, they have not returned, and then they all heard that Panzhu Junxiu died in the ambush, and Zhao Ziliang was also in a slump, they were very worried about Zhao Ziliang, and then Zhao Ziliang led the servants to the land of Zhaowu Jiu, they were even more worried, now Zhao Ziliang came back safely, and returned to his previous mental state, after the death of Panzhu Junxiu to him also disappeared, they were finally relieved!

"Get up!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and walked towards the high platform.

At the suggestion of Zhao Ziliang, the lieutenants of each school quickly assembled their teams, assembled under the troops' platform, and conducted a confrontation drill of queues, various formations and tactics.

The effect of the drill made Zhao Ziliang quite satisfied, but it still did not achieve the results he expected, which may be related to the fact that he has not been here to supervise in the past few months, although Bi Sichen is here as the deputy envoy of the guard, but Bi Sichen does not understand the intention and essence of the training plan formulated by Zhao Ziliang after all.

After the drill, Zhao Ziliang said: "Soldiers, just now General Ben watched your drill throughout the whole process, to be honest, the effect did not meet General Ben's expectations, in fact, you can do better, it may have something to do with my absence for nearly half a year, this is not all your fault, I am also responsible." So next, we're going to continue our intensive training! (To be continued.) )
