Chapter 35: The General Returns

After two days and one night of marching, the Qin army finally came to the ten-mile long pavilion outside the east gate of Xianyang City, the national capital.

Wei Wei dismounted and came to the long pavilion, tidied up his clothes, and sent someone to find Su Qin, he first asked about Su Qin's injury with concern, Su Qin said that he asked Ning Jun to cut the muscle of his left shoulder, pull out the short crossbow, and apply trauma medicine, which was no big problem.

Wei Wei told Su Qin Guojun the news that he had come to greet him, and asked Su Qin to go to see Qin Jun together after entering the city.

"Why is General Wei so urgent?" Su Qin was unprepared.

Wei Wei replied: "Taking advantage of today's Qin Jun's gratitude for my tiring journey, I proposed to him to let you go and live in my house temporarily, and he will give the old man a little thin noodles." If I talk about it in the future, I am afraid that the opportunity will be delayed. ”

"If you fall into the hands of Gao Sheng or Gongsun Yan again, they will definitely not let you go easily." Wei Wei was worried.

"General Wei is so good to me, Su Qin is grateful!" Su Qin hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

Wei Wei waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to be polite. Then he instructed: "After a while, I will go to see Qin Jun, you will follow me with Ning Jun, and I will introduce you to Qin Jun at the appropriate time." Su Qin promised again and again.

When he arrived at the east gate of Xianyang City, far away from the city gate, Wei Wei dismounted, followed by Ning Jun and Su Qin on the left and right. When Gao Sheng learned that Qin Jun had come to the East Gate, he secretly envied Wei Wei's esteemed status, and he hurriedly followed Wei Wei.

Gongsun Yan was placed in a chariot, and he wanted to get up to see the driver, but he couldn't get up, so he gritted his teeth and beat his chest.

Wei Wei led the generals of the expeditionary force to Yingsi's chariot, and when he saw him standing in front of the car, Wei Wei and the others hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Weichen see the king."

Ying Si personally lowered his body to help Wei Wei, Su Qin and others also stood up with Wei Wei, Su Qin saw that Ying Si was about thirty years old, capable and neat, and his eyebrows were solemn, not angry and arrogant.

Su Qin secretly praised in his heart: "No wonder the Qin State has risen rapidly, with such a capable monarch, the country will prosper day by day." ”

When Qin Jun saw Gao Sheng, he stepped forward to hold his hand and greeted, "Mr. Gao Sheng has also returned." Thank you. ”

Gao Sheng bowed down to thank Qin Jun for his care, but in a hurry, he didn't have time to report the completion of his task. He glanced at Su Qin, and said in his heart: "Why did Wei Wei bring this person at this time, it's just too inappropriate." ”

Qin Jun looked at Ning Jun and Su Qin, and saw that both of them were arrogant and talented, however, they didn't know each other, Qin Jun thought that they were both Wei Wei's personal entourage, so he didn't ask much.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and Qin Jun said: "General Wei and Mr. Gao have worked hard, and the widow will set up a small banquet in the palace today to personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." Wei Wei hurriedly said that he didn't dare to do it, Qin Jun couldn't help but say, Wei Wei could only obey orders.

When Qin Jun turned around and drove back, he suddenly remembered Gongsun Yan, so he raised his hand to summon Wei Wei to him and said, "Why didn't the widow see General Gongsun, did he press the formation behind and didn't return?" ”

Wei Wei was worried in his heart, tried his best to stabilize his mind, and said: "General Gongsun Yan is greedy and arrogant, and has repeatedly violated military orders, so it led to the defeat of Quwo City, and I will punish him. ”

"Really? So where is he now? After hearing this, Qin Jun was quite unhappy in his heart, but he asked very calmly on his face.

"He is resting in the car, and he is not in good health, so I am afraid that he will not be able to come to see you." Wei Wei replied cautiously.

Qin Jun let out an "oh" in astonishment, intending to go and see Gongsun Yan in person, but he felt that it was inappropriate to do so in front of Wei Wei, so he didn't care too much, he himself boarded the Jun Driver and led the returning Qin army into Xianyang City.

Wei Wei wiped the cold sweat from his face, and was glad that he had passed the hurdle. He summoned another entourage named Pang Hui and instructed him to bring his luggage and the carriage with the music and dance class back to his house, and wait for him to settle down when he returned from the palace.

Pang Hui led the order, Wei Wei, Gao Sheng and others, riding war horses, followed Qin Jun Yingsi's chariot all the way to the Qin Palace.

Qin Jun's chariot was pulled by six pure white horses, tall, short, fat and thin, four horses in front, two horses in the back, and the horses' heads and bodies were covered with black and shiny armor, majestic.

On both sides of the streets of Xianyang, a large number of people had already gathered to watch, they were separated by the Qin Janissaries who maintained order three or four zhang away, and people saw Qin Jun's chariot and Wei Wei and others riding war horses, and they were excitedly clamoring and cheering one after another.

Su Qin saw that the Qin people spontaneously warmly welcomed the returning Qin army, and admired their unity very much. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the people of Qin have the desire to make meritorious contributions, and they go to the battlefield, which is not a heroic soldier.

Su Qinxin said: "The strength of the Qin State is not only the right time and place, but also the people, no wonder Senior Brother Sun Bin said that, it seems to be a conclusive fact." ”

Su Qin followed Wei Wei, less than an hour, came to Xianyang Palace, it lies in the north of the city, stands high on a plateau, and looks down at the soup and flowing water of the Wei River, towering from a high house, majestic and magnificent, as if it is showing the ambition of Qin to dominate the world.

Su Qin and the others stepped over the long and wide steps and walked towards the side hall of Xianyang Palace, where Qin Jun Yingsi had already set up a banquet.

Ning Jun and Su Qin's qualifications were not enough to enter the hall and dine with Qin Jun, so they waited under the corridor wall outside the hall. Qin Jun, Wei Wei and Gao Sheng entered the palace, sat down in the second order of the monarch and the minister, the palace E came and went, served the food and poured the wine, and the three of the monarch and the minister talked very happily.

Wei Wei's expedition lasted more than half a year, from the winter of previous years, until the summer, in the west bank of the Yellow River to kill the Wei general Long Ji, capture Shaoliang, and even crossed the Yellow River again, besieging the old capital of Wei Quwo.

Although he failed to conquer Quwo after the last time, the credit for his achievements was unprecedented. Qin Jun was particularly appreciative of Wei Wei, and he also expected Wei Wei to capture more cities of the eastern princes, so he was very polite, put down his status as a monarch, and frequently raised his glass to drink with Wei Wei.

Since Wei Wei was captured into Qin more than ten years ago, he has been extremely generously entertained by two generations of monarchs such as Qin Xiaogong and the current Qin Jun.

However, this time when he hit the hometown of Wei, he resurfaced a difficult kinship for his ancestral country, and the implementation of Qin Junyingsi's instructions was also discounted.

After all, Wei Wei is a Wei person, no matter how honorable he is, he can't become a Qin person. Moreover, this time it was a coincidence that he was reunited with his children, so he was even more determined to go.

Wei Wei has been silently reciting the words of saying goodbye to the old man and returning to his hometown in his heart, but because Qin Jun Yingsi celebrates his achievements diligently, he has not been able to say it.

After drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine, Wei Wei remembered to intercede for Su Qin, and was afraid that it would be too late if he didn't open his mouth, so he took advantage of the break in drinking, looked at Qin Jun, and reported loudly: "Do you know that there is also Mr. Guigu's disciple Su Qin who came to the palace with me today?" He is now in His Highness. ”

Qin Jun actually saw Gao Sheng when he first saw him, and he always wanted to ask him about arresting Mr. Guigu, but because Wei Wei had made outstanding contributions, he had to give Wei Wei enough face first, so he endured it and didn't ask.

He was waiting for the banquet to disperse, leaving Gao Sheng alone to ask, but he didn't expect Wei Wei to mention it first, and said that Su Qin was in His Royal Highness, Qin Jun unexpectedly "ah".
