On a new day, the weather seems to be exceptionally clear, the morning sun has risen, and there is no special change in today's Zhongjing Imperial City compared to the past, but there are guards and family members on the street in front of the Lufu Gate to block pedestrians, drive away the hawkers, and give way to a direct lane to the Lufu on the road.

As for the Marshal's Palace, it was still so deserted, and the civilians, officials, and nobles in the Imperial City all knew the rules of the Marshal's Palace, and they generally didn't go to trouble the garrison if they had nothing to do, so few people passed through the streets there.

Military Aircraft Department of the Marshal's Office.

Yelu Yanyan sat on the table, staring at the "Northeast Prefecture County Map" on the previous plan, and fell into deep thought.

Yelu Tuji is also here, he keeps walking back and forth in this hall, Yan Yan has his back to him, so Tuji can't see the puzzled expression on his face, looking out of the door, two rows of burly halberd sergeants, sighed, as if talking to himself, and said softly: "This day, the cavalry has also been sent out and has not replied for many days, how is the safety of this master, so people are worried!" ”

I don't know if Yelu Yanyan heard it, but he didn't speak, looking at the city and pond on the map, hoping to find a clue, but no.

"Hey, I'll talk to you!" Yelu Tuji turned to look at his back, and aired.

After a while, he heard Yan Yan gasp, turned his head sideways and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, then turned back and continued to look at the map in front of him, and replied, "A group of mountain bandits, can't the heavenly cavalry of my marshal's mansion deal with it?" The training team members of the Lu Mansion also went, and besides, Master Lu still has the family and guards by his side, so he will be fine. What worries me now is the movement of this Bohai Country, the sudden opportunity..."Yan Yan turned to look at him and continued, "This Bohai has deployed an army of 100,000 in my northeast, if they join forces with the Jurchens, it will be too much of a threat to us, and now the loss of Ningjiang is very unfavorable to us..."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Yelu interrupted him and asked suspiciously, "Didn't Yingjie send back a report on the movements of the army?" You didn't see it! After that, he came to the table, flipped through the neatly stacked information on the table, took out a copy after a while, handed it to him, and said at the same time, "Yingjie has already thought of a countermeasure, hasn't our right-wing army already entered the city of Aodong, this is like a sharp sword against the heart of the Bohai Kingdom, if he dares to act recklessly, the cavalry will be able to make the entire Bohai Sea worse than dead without much effort, besides..." The Bohai Emperor knew what kind of army the Heavenly Cavalry was, and I thought... Since the battle of Shalanqiu, Bohai has not had the courage to oppose us again. ”

"It would be great if it was as simple as you thought, and I hope it will save you a lot of trouble, but do you really think that we have conquered Bohai in the battle of Shalanqiu?" Yan Yan exhaled lightly, turned to the map, pointed to Aodong City, and continued, "Aodong is an important town in the southwest of the Bohai Sea, a transportation hub and military center in the southwest, and has always been known for its golden soup. Do you still remember the tragic situation of the war and the number of dead and wounded when we attacked Aodong City? Yan Yan returned to the table, picked up the information on the table, and looked at him, "But now the information sent back by Yingjie is only lightly replaced by the word 'stationed'... Heh" smiled coldly, and threw the information on the table, "It can't help but make people think of Pianpin, how did he get in?" I am afraid that this will be a conspiracy of Bohai and the lives of 12,000 soldiers on the right wing! ”

"You..." Tuji just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a long report outside the door, the two looked together, only to see a sergeant running in quickly, kneeling on one knee, clasping his hands into fists and saying: "Report to the general, according to the news from the Lu Mansion, Master Lu's convoy has arrived in Zhongjing City." ”

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then showed a relieved smile, Yelu Yanyan looked at the sudden machine, and chuckled: "What do I say, a rogue is not enough to worry about, Master Lu will be safe." After speaking, the expression on his face became serious, and he was silent for a moment and then said, "Sudden Machine, you bring your troops and horses, and I will work with you with eight hundred strong archers to eradicate this group of mountain bandits who attacked the master!" ”

"Good!" After hearing this, Yelu Tuji responded happily, took the order to transfer the army, and left the military aircraft department.

The lord is back! This is a big deal for the entire Lu Mansion, and the whole mansion is immersed in joy, of course, the news that the master met the robbers also spread in the Lu Mansion, and everyone sweated for the convoy, and no one knew the scene at that time, so they could only wait anxiously.

"Daddy!" Zi Mu couldn't hold back his excitement for a long time, when Lu Yaozong just got off the carriage and rushed over as soon as possible, and pounced on him, the entourage on the side also looked at each other and smiled, they finally went home after two years, and breathed a long sigh of relief, although this journey was difficult and dangerous, they did not regret that they resolutely followed the master to the Song Dynasty two years ago, and now they have also received the highest standard reception from the Lu Mansion, of course, not only the third young master Zi Mu, but also Mrs., Her Royal Highness the Princess, the eldest lady, The second young master and their personal maids and the three chief stewards and four deputy chief stewards of the Lu Mansion, this ceremony is not grand, but it is absolutely warm, is there a more solemn ceremony for a person who has been away from home for a long time than seeing the greeting of his family?

Lu Yaozong took a deep breath, looked at Zimu in his arms with a kind and kind smile, leaned down to pick him up, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Zimu is heavy again, um... Have you been obedient during this time? ”

"Obedient! Obedient! Zimu replied again and again, revealing a cute little dimple, which was so splendid, "If your father doesn't believe it, you can ask your mother, and your brothers and sisters can also testify to Xiangrui." After saying that, he turned around and looked at the family in front of the house and laughed happily again.

Lu Yaozong nodded after hearing this, touched his pink little face, and said with a smile: "Okay, go home with Daddy." With that, he put him down, took Zimu's little hand and walked towards the door of the mansion.

"See the master." The people all performed etiquette and said in unison. Lu Yaozong stepped on the steps, and the first person to be greeted was Lu Lan, and she took Xiao Jiaqi and walked in front of Lu Yaozong.

Since Xiao Jiaqi made trouble in Dongyuan Ju that night, Qin Xirui didn't say anything about her, but he told Lu Lan that although Lu Lan was wronged, Xiao Jiaqi was indeed too young to live alone, so since then Xiao Jiaqi moved from Guixiangyuan to Tilting House, Lu Lan took her with her for twelve hours, and she was not allowed to leave for a moment.

"Uncle." Xiao Jiaqi saw Lu Yaozong's quirky greetings.

Lu Yaozong stroked the little girl's head with a smile on his face, "Jiaqi is also there." Although there was a little surprise, I didn't care, Xiao Jiaqi was originally a princess, and she often played in the Lu Mansion, and Lu Lan on the side also exhaled a long breath when she saw her father's safety, obviously the hanging heart was as comfortable as after it finally fell to the ground, and then she still pouted and said softly: "Dad, you are a cliff and a robber on the way, so that your daughter is worried." After Lu Lan finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Xirui, then looked at Lu Yaozong, and continued, "Since I received a letter from my entourage and learned that you met robbers in the area of Niutou Mountain, my mother has not closed her eyes for several days and nights, and everyone has lost a lot of weight. ”

"Lan'er..."

Lu Yaozong was stunned when he heard this, and the smile on his face also dissipated, and he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, looking at Qin Xirui, but she seemed to be deliberately avoiding his gaze, her eyes were secretly red, and she had obviously shed tears. walked past Lu Lan and came to her, "Don't listen to the child's nonsense, there's nothing wrong with it." Qin Xirui looked away and didn't face him.

Lu Yaozong suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand to wipe the faint tears on her cheeks, so gently, like pity, but like pity, sad and melancholy, Qin Xirui looked back at him like flattered, Lu Yaozong withdrew his hand, his eyes also became dim, but he sighed slightly in his heart, I'm sorry, Xirui! After a moment of silence, he looked at them and said softly, "Madam, thank you for your hard work." ”

Qin Xirui was slightly stunned, and then shook his head for a long time and replied: "The master can come back safely, which is the greatest gratitude to me." ”

A personal entourage of Lu Yaozong explained to Lu Lan: "The eldest lady doesn't know, although the gang of robbers is menacing, they are still vulnerable under the iron hooves of my Chaotian cavalry. The minions should not pass on such information, so that the lady, the young lady, the young master and the chief steward are worried, and the minions are guilty and willing to be punished. He bowed and apologized to his wife.

Lu Yaozong turned to look at him and said lightly: "You are in danger of me before I can send a message to Steward Yang, Yongcai, you have done a good job, and then the affairs of the team will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes, sir." After nodding in response, Yongcai turned back to the carriage, drove the carriage with the coachman, and led the convoy away.

After Lu Yaozong watched the convoy leave, he remembered another person, so he looked at Zi Biao, who had been silent from the beginning, and Zi Biao looked at the floor tiles with a cold expression! ! He seems to be particularly interested in floor tiles today! Wan Ruoling saw that this little guy didn't know what he was doing, frowned, and gently resisted him. Ziqiao came back to his senses with an "ah", and just met his father's gaze, he was so flustered that he didn't know what to say for a long time, so he saluted and hurriedly said: "Ying Feng has seen Daddy!" ”

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Lu Yaozong laughed, "I knew that this Ziqiao wouldn't stick to me!" As soon as the words fell, everyone present also chuckled, as if the originally dull and sad atmosphere was completely shattered at this moment.

Ziqiao's face turned red, he lowered his head, he was very embarrassed, in fact, his father came home, and he was really happy.

Wan Ruoling also shook her head and smiled helplessly for Ziqiu's absent-minded reply, stepped forward, and saluted: "Master, let's not stand outside the door to make people laugh, the slave has prepared bath water for you, the old car is tired and robbers, although there is no danger, but it must be physically and mentally exhausted, take a bath, eat, just sleep well." ”

"Yes, sir, Ling'er is right, let's go to the mansion to reunite with the family." Yang Liang paused for a moment and continued, "Since everyone is safe and sound, it would be great, rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will not give up on this matter, and they will definitely do their best to investigate this gang of robbers and eliminate them in one fell swoop!" ”

Lu Yaozong nodded, everyone got out of the way into the mansion, he took Zimu to the mansion, and everyone followed him in an orderly manner according to their identities
