Regarding the arrangement of the imperial court, the soldiers of the Xingyang army inevitably had some complaints. Fortunately, after Li Xuanba left the palace, he arranged for everyone to go home, which slightly eased their grievances.

The soldiers who still remained in the camp, there were only more than 2,000 people, they were homeless, no one could think about it, Li Xuanba ordered people to buy wine and meat and send it to the camp, taking advantage of the absence of Li Jing and others, carnival until late at night, and the camp was full of laughter and laughter.

On the night of October, it was slightly cool, and in the quiet city of Luoyang, there was only this noisy place, which was extremely enviable. The imperial court has an order for a curfew, but the Xingyang army is about to go on an expedition, and no one will go to the camp to dissuade them without a long eye.

"Lord Tongshou, what does the palace look like?" A soldier ran to Li Xuanba's side curiously and asked, "I heard that the palace maids in it are all as beautiful as the people in the painting." ”

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Li Xuanba raised his eyebrows, with an encouraging face, the soldier nodded desperately, Li Xuanba glanced at his crotch, and said with a smile: "As long as you are willing to give up that thing, Lao Tzu will take you into the palace tomorrow." The soldier's face changed, and he shook his head like a rattle, and fled away, causing a burst of laughter.

"Why don't you drink, sir?" Some generals found that Li Xuanba only cared about eating meat, and did not drink alcohol from beginning to end, and said curiously: "This wine is much better than home-brewed, and the last general can't wait to hide a few jars." ”

"If you're not afraid that General Li Jing will cut off your head, feel free to do so." Li Xuanba glanced at him, and said angrily: "No matter how good the wine is, it's not the same as horse urine." As soon as he put a glass of wine into his throat, he was savoring it, when he heard Li Xuanba's words, he suddenly felt that the taste on the tip of his tongue was strange, and he couldn't help but go away in shame.

Everyone tried every possible way to find a topic, wanting to make fun of Li Xuanba once. As a result, they all returned defeated, and Li Xuanba looked at everyone with a smug look on his face.

"Childe, why don't you go to see Her Royal Highness?" Liang Xiao, who had been silent, asked with a full hiccup.

Li Xuanba's face turned red and threw away the mutton bone in his hand. Annoyed: "It's not to accompany you single dogs!" After saying that, he ignored the surprised eyes of others, got up and walked back to the camp. He won dozens of rounds, but after all, he was defeated by his own people

For Li Xuanba, Hedong is his hometown, but when he led the Xingyang army back to Hedong County, he did not have the slightest feeling of returning home. Li Yuan led the army to besiege Hedong County, he is Li Yuan's son, and the people naturally will not give him a good look.

As soon as the army entered the territory of Hedong County. Li Xuanba followed Qu Tutong's order and sent Li Jing and others to lead the army to be stationed in Ruicheng first, and he personally took more than a dozen people to Hedong with Sang Xianhe to meet Qu Tutong.

"If we venture into the city and get such treatment, aren't they afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers?" Luo Shixin said indignantly. When he followed Zhang Xutuo, he greeted him everywhere he went, when did he receive such treatment?

Jia Yanfu made a color and said, "The Taiyuan army is besieging the city. It is inevitable that the people will be nervous, and they will see General Qu later. Don't talk nonsense. Luo Shixin muttered a few times in dissatisfaction and stopped talking.

Qu Tutong did not greet the Xingyang army in person, but sent Huyalang to greet Sang Xianhe at the gate of the city, he heard Luo Shixin's complaints, and thought to himself that everyone could see the reason, why did you come out of such a fool?

"General San. Xuanba heard that you once led an army to fight against the Taiyuan army, I don't know how powerful they are? Li Xuanba's face was the same, and he asked calmly: "Where is their camp?" ”

"My lord, the last general did lead thousands of Xiaoguo troops to attack the enemy camp at night, and it went well at first. Seeing that he could kill the thief generals Liu Hongji and Wang Changhuan, a group of Turkic cavalry suddenly came out from the side, and the last general was worried that there were reinforcements in their rear, so they could only withdraw to Hedong. Sang Xianhe replied: "According to another report from the spies, the main force of the thief army lives in Fenyin, and some thief troops are also camped in Liangshan and other places. ”

"Turkic cavalry?" Li Xuanba frowned and said, "General Sang confirmed that there are Turks in their army?" ”

"The last will not dare to lie." Sang Xian and Gong Sheng said: "Although those people are wearing the clothes of our dynasty, their bodies and faces cannot hide their identities. ”

"Those people may be the Turkic cavalry captured by Tang Guogong before, right?" Jia Yanfu reminded: "It is not strange that the Turkic cavalry can fight well, and the Duke of Tang is reluctant to kill them. ”

Li Xuanba heard Jia Yanfu's comfort, smiled at him, bowed his head and said nothing.

Along the way, Li Xuanba saw many familiar places.

The Guiyue Tower back then was dilapidated, and the girl upstairs was obviously not as good-looking as before, and I don't know how the thin woman is living now? The owner of the restaurant had a sad face, and the guy was wiping the table boringly, and he couldn't even save his life, who still had the leisure to come to the restaurant to eat?

The seal on the main gate of the Li Mansion has been stained with a lot of dust, I don't know how long no one has entered or exited, and many branches have stretched out from the courtyard, telling of coldness and depression. Revisiting the old place, but there is no familiar face.

When he was lost, Li Xuanba suddenly saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure. In the crowded crowd, Shizuka looked at him with teary eyes, and the two looked at each other, as if they had been separated by many years.

"Are you okay?" In a very cliché opening remark, Li Xuanba jumped off the horse, walked in front of Shizuka, and said softly.

"The slave is good, what about the childe?" Shizuka wiped away her tears, squeezed out a smile, and replied to herself, "Childe is a little darker." "Every day when the wind and sun are blown, it will naturally turn black.

Li Xuanba touched his face and said with a smile: "My son doesn't rely on his face to eat, it doesn't matter if it's dark, but you, how can you lose weight like this?" ”

"The slave is not thin." Shizuka shook her head slightly flusteredly, her hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes.

Sang Xianhe looked at the sky, and said behind Li Xuanba: "My lord, General Qu is waiting for you, why don't you send someone to take this lady to your mansion first, and you and her will talk later?" Qu Tutong has prepared a temporary mansion for Li Xuanba for him to live in on weekdays.

"That's fine." Li Xuanba didn't give Shizuka a chance to refuse, nodded and said, "It just so happens that there is a shortage of people to take care of in the house, Shizuka should be willing to help my son, right?" ”

Shizuka's face was slightly red, and she responded softly. Li Xuanba was in a slightly better mood when he saw his old man, he asked Liang Xiao to take Shizuka to the mansion first, while he rode on his horse and continued to the camp.

"That lady is very good-looking, but she has lost a little weight." Luo Shixin rode his horse to fill Liang Xiao's position, grinned and said, "Brother Xuanba, dare to ask if that lady is already married?" ”

"I'll ask you when I get back in the evening." Li Xuanba looked at Luo Shixin carefully, felt quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "Tsk, I didn't expect that Brother Shixin also had a time to open up." ”

"The way that lady looks at you, even I understand." Luo Shixin said angrily: "If you don't believe it, ask others." Li Xuanba looked left and right, and found that everyone nodded with a smile, and even Sang Xianhe couldn't help but congratulate him. (To be continued.) )
