The sudden retreat of the White Lotus Sect's protector army on the other side of the city was bound to solve the urgent need of Lingnan City being besieged.

After almost two days, because of the heavy gold brick boxes to be escorted on the road, although hundreds of thousands of White Lotus Sect bandits retreated day and night, they only withdrew twenty miles away from Qianzhou City.

However, they had no intention of stopping, but continued all the way south, straight to Guangzhou Mansion, the southernmost part of Guangnan Road.

As for what method Yuan Tiangang used to make Duguyu, who had always been suspicious and deceitful, agree not to attack Lingnan City when his own strength was superior to that of the official army, and then retreat from the city, it was not something that Guo Ye could guess.

At least, there is a hidden existence in it that Guo Ye can't guess.

After a two-day break, the 30,000 soldiers on Guangnan Road who were guarding the city on the side of Lingnan City were also relieved.

After two days of rearing, Yu Shinan also began to urge Guo Ye to leave as soon as possible and return to Chang'an as soon as possible to resume his life.

Now that the southern counterinsurgency has been suppressed with the internal strife of the White Lotus Sect, and with the retreat of the White Lotus Sect's protector army to the south of the Guangzhou Prefecture, it has completely deviated from Guo Ye's previous plan, and in his opinion, it is a waste of one more day for him to stay here for one more day. Therefore, he was unwilling to spend his time here in Lingnan City from the bottom of his heart.

At present, he can return to Chang'an by escorting Yu Shinan to Chang'an, and he is even more desperate.

He could see that His Majesty Li Er arranged for him to go south with Li Jing to quell the rebellion at the beginning, which was just a false trick, and His Majesty Li Er and Yuan Tiangang had already had a complete set of plans.

Spending time in Lingnan is a waste of time.

When I returned to Chang'an, I could just ask His Majesty Li Er for justice and come back, at least I couldn't be used as a gun for no reason, right? Anyway, you have to get some credit back.

Subsequently, he summoned Pang Feihu, Cao Luxun, Cheng Erniu, Zhu Fatzi and others to discuss the matter, and arranged the deployment after he left, so he selected five hundred black-armored soldiers from Cao Luxun's black-armored Xuanbing barracks, and asked Zhu Fatzi to prepare some Lingnan specialties, so he left Lingnan City in the early morning of the third day and rushed back in the direction of Chang'an.

Yu Shinan was also anxious, looking forward to returning to Chang'an as soon as possible, so he repeatedly told Guo Ye along the way that he must be low-key and concealed to hurry up his journey back to Beijing this time, and there is no need to disturb the officials of the state capitals, let alone make a big deal at the post stations of the state capitals.

Therefore, they made their way north with great speed, and arrived in Chang'an nearly seven days earlier than the original estimated date.

After entering Chang'an City, Yu Shinan was sent to the three gates of the imperial city safe and sound, and it was already dusk.

One evening in early August.

Yu Shinan entered the palace to meet His Majesty Li Er, and returned to his life in time for the matter of going south to Xuanfu.

But Guo Ye did not accompany him into the palace, after all, he did not return to Beijing by order when he came back this time, and he had to let Yu Shinan enter the palace to make a foreshadowing of him, so that he could go to see His Majesty Li Er.

Otherwise, if His Majesty Li Er is indiscriminate, he can be punished for the crime of bullying the king when he sees that he has not been edicted to return to Beijing.

Seeing Yu Shinan enter the imperial city, Guo Ye was in a trance a little in front of the Suzaku Gate, and counted with his fingers, it has been several months since he left Chang'an.

Alas...... It's time to go home!

Guo Ye sighed in his heart, so he temporarily sent five hundred black-armored Xuanbing soldiers to the Commander's Guard Mansion for temporary stationing, otherwise he couldn't let these hundreds of black-clothed, black-armored and black-masked black-armored Xuanbing soldiers swagger in Chang'an City and scare the people of Chang'an, right?

He is now also a leading general of the Guard, and he has every power to allow these five hundred black-armored soldiers to be temporarily stationed in the Commander's Guard.

One of the captains of the Black-Armored Xuanbing took Guo Ye's token, and then led the remaining five hundred Black-Armored Xuanbing soldiers to leave on their own in an orderly manner.

And Guo Ye did not stop in front of the Suzaku Gate, and rode straight to the Pingyang County Mansion in Taipingfang non-stop.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the county mansion, the porter with troubled eyes found that his master had returned to Chang'an without a sound.

The porter was naturally very excited to let the guards of the county mansion open the middle door to welcome the return of the county lord.

And he left Guo Ye and ran directly to the house, shouting that the county grandfather had returned to the house.

After a while, the news of Guo Ye's return spread throughout the Pingyang County Mansion.

A group of female dependents came out to greet them, including Kang Zhiru, dressed in fiery red clothes and holding a horsewhip in her hand, who looked like she had just returned from riding a horse; There is also a happy Zhenniang holding the child in her hand, isn't the porcelain doll carved in her hand Guo Ye's daughter - Xiao Guo Xiang?

Xiao Guo Xiang waved his hands at Guo Ye, babbling in his mouth: "Daddy, Daddy, hug ~ hug hug ~!" ”

I'm going to go!

A sound of daddy shocked Guo Ye and almost didn't stop.

Small... Xiao Guo Xiang can speak???

For a while, Guo Ye forgot to reach out to hug Xiao Guo Xiang, and his mind suddenly went blank.

When he left, he was still a little girl who could only cry and couldn't walk, and he hadn't seen him for a few months, but he would call his father, and he also reached out to Guo Ye to hug him.

Regardless of the past or present life, Guo Ye is the first time to be a father, and it is the first time that someone has called him a father, and he is at a loss for a while and doesn't know how to deal with it, which is normal.

But it's more of a surprise, an excitement, a kind of excitement connected by family and blood, almost crying with joy.

Xiao Guo Xiang called his father, and he actually called Guo Ye stupid.

"Giggles~ Sister Zhenniang, you see I guessed right, right?"

Kang Zhiru looked at Guo Ye's appearance of only caring about silly music, and couldn't help but say to Zhen Niangle: "I just said that our little Guo Xiang is a father, and he will definitely be able to call Xianggong stupid." ”

Zhen Niang pursed her lips and smiled, acquiesced to Zhiru's words, and then took a step forward with Xiao Guo Xiang in her arms, and said softly: "Xianggong has been gone for the second month, and our daughter has opened her voice. These days, the slave family is not idle, every day pointing to the portrait of the husband and teaching her to call her father, this girl has not yet called the slave family a mother. ”

Zhen Niang's mouth of vinegar, Guo Ye was even more happy to hear it, and quickly hugged Xiao Guo Xiang over, kissed Xiao Guo Xiang's forehead fiercely, and grinned: "Good girl, good girl, it's not in vain that everyone in the world says that the daughter is the father's personal little padded jacket, haha, come, call daddy again!" ”

"Daddy...... Daddy......"

Xiao Guo Xiang really shouted very cooperatively, with a crisp and tender voice, listening to Guo Ye's heart, he was numb.

Just at the door, under the watchful eyes of a crowd, the father and daughter showed off their happiness fiercely, which made Zhenniang and Kang Zhiru both speechless for a while.

Subsequently, Guo Ye handed over Xiao Guo Xiang to Zhenniang, and was about to go into the house to see the old lady, but found that Xiuxiu did not appear here, so he immediately asked, "Where is Xiuxiu?" ”

"You're still a father."

Zhiru pursed her lips and said mockingly: "When you went south, the county lord of Xiuxiu was already pregnant with Liujia, you can't count your own days?" You have no conscience, the lord of Xiuxiu is about to give birth, and now you are waiting to give birth in the house, how can you move around at will? What if there's a bad one? ”

Now that Kang Zhiru is open to Chai Xiuxiu, a county lord and a county lord, she obviously no longer dares to compete with Chai Xiuxiu, who has won the title of Pingyang county lord.

"Huh?"

Guo Ye exclaimed, quickly calculated the days in his heart, and said secretly, it was really negligent, it was almost the day when the melons were ripe.

Thinking that Xiuxiu was about to give birth, and he was going to be a father for the second time, Guo Ye, who tasted the sweetness of Xiao Guo Xiang shouting his father, was excited again.

Zhenniang gently reminded: "Xianggong, yesterday Mrs. Xiuxiu began to shout that she had a stomachache, she has been taken to her yard by the old lady to give birth, and the doctors in the yard are all at any time, and the old lady is there to accompany Mrs. Xiuxiu herself." Now that you're back, you should go over and meet Mrs. Xiuxiu first. ”

Guo Ye snorted, nodded and said, "Zhenniang is very right, I will go to the old lady to meet Xiuxiu here, and also cheer her up." ”

You must know that today's medical conditions are not as good as those of later generations, especially when it comes to giving birth to children, which is definitely not as safe as the future generations. In this era when the wind and cold can be fatal, a woman giving birth to a child is definitely a walk before the ghost gate, and the risk factor is extremely high.

Therefore, Guo Ye didn't dare to delay any longer, and without saying a word, he left everyone at the door, and went straight to the courtyard where the old lady was located.

However, before he reached the arch of the old lady's courtyard, he collided with a person head-on.

He was anxious to show off his eyes, and he was about to be reprimanded when he was blocked, but he heard the person who collided with him shouting in surprise: "My God, I'm not dreaming, am I?" Master Hou, uh no, Grandpa Jun, you can count it back, woo...... I want to die old ......"

"Yo, who am I?"

Guo Ye interrupted the other party in time and was so excited that he was incoherent, and shouted jokingly: "Isn't this our Guan Lao Xiucai?" Guan dove, are you still alive? ”

The person who came was indirectly controlled by the henchmen of Emperor Taishang Li Yuan and King Lu in Yangzhou, and used it to blackmail Guo Ye to rebel.

Guo Ye saw him appear here, although his mouth was full of strange words, but he was not surprised, because Guan Jiu Jiu escaped and was saved because of the favor of Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and it was Cao Luxun and his black armor Xuan Battalion.

The reason why he said strange things was because since Guan Jiujiu's grandson had been saved and had appeared in his house safe and sound, why didn't he go south to look for him, and he didn't even give himself a letter to report his safety.
