When the mission arrived in Tongzhou, it was a rainy evening.

Chu Huan originally thought that Xu Congyang, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, was still guarding Tongzhou, but after arriving, he learned that Xu Congyang had returned to the capital a month ago. The grain and grass that was transported to the northwest through Tongzhou had already turned around and was transported to the southeast.

The grain and grass supplied to the northwest were originally raised from Xishan Road and Anyi Road, which had also reached the extreme of supply, and could no longer be connected in the future, and the materials left in Tongzhou also turned to the southeast.

After Zhao Guangqing, the governor of Tongzhou, was killed for his rebellion, the position of the governor of Tongzhou is still vacant to this day, and Qiao Mingtang, the governor of Xishan Province, replaced Xu Congyang and temporarily sat in Tongzhou.

Qiao Mingtang can become a governor, naturally he is not a man who eats white rice, and he still has a lot of talent under his hands.

At the beginning of the war in the northwest, Xigu Pass had not yet been blocked, and more than 100,000 people poured in from Guanxi, and when these people arrived in Tongzhou, they had been intercepted by officers and soldiers, and all of them settled in Tongzhou.

In order to avoid the transportation route to the northwest being obstructed by the refugees, the refugees were all moved to the refugee area specially set aside by the government, the order of the refugee area has been very chaotic, after Qiao Mingtang arrived, he specially selected strong men from the refugees, formed a security team, and did not have to use the regular army, so as not to be unhappy in the hearts of the refugees.

Although there has been a shortage of food, Qiao Mingtang has also tried his best to ensure that the refugees can fill their stomachs.

When the mission arrived in Tongzhou City, Qiao Mingtang had to briefly introduce the situation in Tongzhou to Xue Huai'an, he naturally didn't expect that Chu Huan had been in Beijing for less than a year, and he would be mixed up, in his heart, Chu Huan was from Yunshan Mansion, even if he was a person from his own faction, he was also very kind to Chu Huan, and when he talked about it, the governor of Xishan Road suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Chu Huan: "Lord Chu, I almost forgot a big thing, the first few days ago, the Wei Command came to Tongzhou and brought a piece of news, which is related to you." ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan was stunned.

Qiao Mingtang said: "The Wei system didn't know that you were sending an envoy to Xiliang, he sent someone to the capital, only to learn that you had already sent an envoy. Wei Tongzhi knew that Tongzhou was the only way to enter Xigu Pass, and sent someone to come over to say hello to the official, if you rush back to the capital through Tongzhou, let you go back to Yunshan Mansion. ”

When Chu Huan heard this, his heart sank.

Of course, he understands that Qiao Mingtang's Wei system is Wei Tianqing, Wei Tianqing sent people to Beijing to find him, and even sent people to Tongzhou to spread a message to himself, which can only show that something big happened in his family.

After he entered Beijing, Wei Tianqing took the initiative to take care of Chu Huan's family, if it wasn't for something happening at home, Wei Tianqing would not have made such a big move.

Thinking of this, Chu Huan was anxious and hurriedly asked, "Governor Qiao, are you ...... Is something happening to my family? ”

Qiao Mingtang said: "Lord Chu doesn't have to be too anxious. Wei Tongzhi also said that it seems that Lord Lingtang is not in good health, so he ......! ”

Chu Huan's heart tightened even more, and immediately looked at Xue Huai'an, Xue Huai'an had already frowned and said: "It's about Lord Lingtang, all good and filial piety come first, Lord Chu, if that's the case, you can go back to Yunshan Mansion first and take a look." ”

"Just the Mission?"

"You don't have to worry about this, with this official and General Xuanyuan, it will be fine." Xue Huai'an said: "You can't delay returning to Beijing to resume your life, Lord Chu, you go back and take a look first, if Lord Lingtang is in good health, you have to return to Beijing as soon as possible to resume your life, otherwise, ...... The official will explain to the Holy One, and the Holy One will certainly understand your difficulties. ”

Qiao Mingtang also said: "Lord Chu don't have to worry, I will also make an excerpt and explain to the Holy Lord for Lord Chu." The saint is a person who is filial and will not be blamed. ”

Chu Huan saluted the two respectfully, said goodbye to the two, and did not leave immediately, but called Sun Zikong and the wolf baby, and went to the side alone and ordered: "Zikong, Wushuang, I want to go back to Yunshan Mansion, and you follow the team directly back to Beijing." Zikong, Wushuang is not familiar with the capital, you are familiar with it, after returning to Beijing, you take them back to the house first and settle down properly. ”

The grandson hurriedly asked, "Master, how do you arrange those two girls?" Also arranged in our house? ”

Chu Huan thought for a while and sighed: "I will also arrange them in the mansion, and everything will be dealt with when I go back." After returning to Beijing, find a doctor to give the white blind man a good look at the injury, the monk, you find a separate courtyard to settle down, Zikong, you personally feed him every day, he is unconscious, porridge and water can still be fed. ”

Sun Zikong nodded and said, "Don't worry, master, I understand." ”

"Wushuang, you follow Zikong back to Beijing, and those camel brothers will also stay in the house with you first. You must remember that after returning to Beijing, until I go back, stay in the house, and don't go anywhere, let alone cause trouble. Chu Huan said with a stern expression: "No matter who of you causes trouble, when I go back, don't blame me for turning his face." ”

Sun Zikong nodded, the wolf baby thought about it, and made a gesture, but it meant to go back to Yunshan Mansion with Chu Huan, Chu Huan understood it, shook his head and said: "No, I will deal with things soon, you can return to Beijing with peace of mind." He took the silver ticket from his bosom, gave a few to Sun Zikong and the wolf baby, and carefully told him, and then he found Xue Huai'an again and said goodbye to him.

Xue Huai'an comforted him, and even ordered Xuanyuan Shengcai to select ten skilled guards warriors from the guards and go to Yunshan Mansion with Chu Huan to ensure Chu Huan's safety.

Chu Huan thought about it for a while, and did not refuse, but the service of the guards was too eye-catching, and he and the ten guards warriors all changed into civilian clothes, worried about family affairs, and did not delay much, and said goodbye.

Along the way, the horse is like a tiger, the horse is like a dragon, and there is no delay, Chu Huan is anxious, Wei Tianqing is eager to find himself, it can be seen that Chu Li's health must be very bad, otherwise Wei Tianqing would not be so aggressive.

It was Chu Huan's heart that Chu Li's physical condition had not been very good, and he only hoped that the old man could hold on, at least see him.

Before arriving at Yunshan Mansion City, there was a heavy rainstorm, Chu Huan was still fast, galloping in the rain, and the ten Guards warriors were also able to bear hardships and stand hard work, following closely behind.

This rain is indeed not small, at dusk this day, Chu Huan finally rushed to Yunshan Mansion City, after a long time of more than half a year, Yunshan Mansion City has not changed at all, and it is still towering.

Before the city gate was closed, Chu Huan and others galloped over, and the city gate guards saw that the more than ten horsemen were raging in the rain, and immediately a soldier stepped forward with a gun and shouted: "Stop the horse, what are you doing?" ”

A Praetorian Guard warrior beside Chu Huan shouted, "Get out of the way!" "They are the most elite soldiers of the Empire, and they are also the most honorable soldiers of the Empire, ordinary local soldiers, they never pay attention.

The horses flew like flies, and when the soldiers saw this, they were afraid of being trampled by the horses, so they hurriedly dodged away, and Chu Huan and his party entered through the door like lightning.

The soldiers guarding the gate were all taken aback, and someone had already shouted, "Are they bandits?" He waved his hand and said, "Let's chase!" ”

One person said in a deep voice: "Chase a fart? You didn't see it, the one at the front was wearing official boots, this is the official master's civilian clothes, if anyone is not afraid of death, just chase it! ”

When he said this, the people did not dare to say anything.

The rain was a lot lighter, the wind was drizzling, Chu Huan and his party were already soaked, passing by an inn, Chu Huan reined in his horse, ordered all the soldiers not to accompany him, and threw a piece of gold ingot to the guards around him, so that he could take people to settle down in the inn now.

The guards were sent to protect Chu Huan, how dare they slack off, they all wanted to escort Chu Huan to his home, Chu Huan saw that everyone insisted, and it was not easy to refuse, so he continued to move forward at the moment, fortunately, on a rainy day, there were no pedestrians on the street, passing through the streets and alleys, thinking that he would be able to see his family immediately, Chu Huan's heart was excited, and his heart was already praying, everything must be safe at home, and there must be no misfortune.

The familiar street appeared in front of him, Chu Huan slowed down his horse, and the cavalry behind him were in a row, following closely behind, and when they arrived at the door, Chu Huan turned over and dismounted, and walked forward, the door was closed as always, so familiar, he hesitated, finally raised his hand, patted the door, and no one agreed at first, Chu Huan immediately increased his strength and patted again, this time it didn't take long for the familiar voice that had been imprinted in his heart to come from the house: "Who?" ”

Chu Huan said loudly: "It's me!" ”

"Who are you?" Su Niang's voice came again, and it seemed that she didn't expect Chu Huan to come back for a while: "On a rainy day, there is no one at home!" ”

Chu Huan was amused and said loudly: "Sister Su Niang, it's me, I'm Erlang!" ”

Su Niang immediately screamed in the house, Chu Huan could even clearly hear the sound of Su Niang running, and soon, I heard the door "creak", the door opened a gap, and a familiar pretty face appeared in the gap, the pair of beautiful eyes were wide open, and when I saw Chu Huan, I was stunned at first, and then my face showed a look of surprise, and I opened the door at once, standing in the door, looking at Chu Huan in a daze, and soon, I saw Su Niang's nose was sour, her eyes were red, and she bit her red lips, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

Chu Huan even wanted to hold Su Niang in his arms at this time to express his longing, but intellectually he naturally wouldn't do this, seeing Su Niang wearing a royal blue skirt, and the upper body was a purple autumn dress, her face was like a hibiscus, her lips were like dots, and her skin was much whiter and more greasy than before. The hips are thin and the waist is thin, and the wonderful figure is like an undulating graceful wave, but the simple atmosphere of the countryside that Chu Huan is familiar with has not disappeared.

"II...... Jiro, you ...... You're back......! Su Niang had already seen the group of cavalry outside the door at this time, all of them were tall and majestic, thinking that Chu Huan was going to be the master when he entered Beijing, and he didn't know if this group of people was Master Chu's subordinates, so she suddenly became a little nervous.

Chu Huan turned around and said, "Brothers, you have worked hard, go and rest first!" ”

One of the cavalrymen said, "My lord, we will leave two people to wait for the dispatch!" ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "No need, you just stay in the previous inn, if you need it, I will go to you!" ”

The soldiers looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say more, and they all bowed their hands together: "Obey the order!" They turned their horses' heads and galloped away at the sound of the horses' neighing.

Su Niang looked at the street, and suddenly felt a gaze looking at her, turned her head to look, but saw Chu Huan looking at her with a pair of eyes, she actually felt a little fever on her face, and asked, "Erlang, are those people ...... Are they all your subordinates? ”

Chu Huan smiled: "I can't call it a subordinate, but now I do listen to my orders." ”

Su Niang stuck out her tongue and couldn't help but say, "Erlang, you are really amazing." But she didn't know that such a fragrant tongue was spit out, but it was very charming and seductive.
