"The Imperial Courier." Han Qian frowned and thought for a moment, and hurriedly invited, "Please." ”

Hearing the order, the herald turned around and left the big tent, and a moment later, a messenger with a small flag on his back walked quickly into the big tent, knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Meet General Han, the villain is ordered by the emperor to ask the general to go to Beijing to discuss state affairs. ”

As he spoke, the messenger took out a letter from his bosom and presented it in front of Han Qian with both hands.

"Hurry up, thank you." Han Qian stepped forward to take the letter and picked up the messenger.

"General Xie." The messenger clenched his fists in thanks.

Han Qian slowly opened the letter, read it word by word, frowned deeply after only a few words, and couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh after reading the entire content of the letter.

"You go back to your life first, Ben will make a little preparation, and then return to Beijing." Han Qian looked at the messenger standing on the side, and said with a straight face.

"Yes, General, the villain is retired." The messenger clenched his fists, turned and walked briskly away from the tent.

After the messenger left, Chen Xiong couldn't wait to ask: "General, what happened to the imperial court, and I want the general to enter Beijing in person." ”

"See for yourself!" Han Qian glanced at Chen Xiong and handed Yu Liang's letter into Chen Xiong's hands.

"Shi Hu sent 150,000 troops, and after the autumn, he committed my great jin." Chen Xiong only glanced at it, and then exclaimed: "There are so many people here, my Dajin is in danger!" ”

Hua An was even more shocked when he heard this, he had just returned to the Central Plains, and before he could speak, the imperial court had already known the news of Shi Hu's southward departure, and it seemed that the imperial court had always had eyeliner in Yecheng.

"Let me see." Hua An couldn't wait to take the letter in Chen Xiong's hand, read it carefully, and couldn't help but be shocked, what the letter said was completely consistent with the news he had inquired in Yecheng.

"Master, what the letter said is exactly the same as the news that the apprentice is in Yecheng and inquires, it seems that the imperial court has eyeliner in Yecheng, and the apprentice is one step slower than others, so he ran this trip in vain." Hua An said, feeling a little depressed.

He felt that it would be good if he came back earlier, so that the credit for spying on the information would be his own, and the credit was secondary, and more importantly, he was the first to find out the information, and he had a sense of accomplishment that was superior to others.

In fact, this is not Hua'an's incompetence at all, it only took him half a month to go north to the Central Plains, but it took more than a month to come back from Thundercloud Castle.

The reason is also very simple, when he went north to the Central Plains, he was a man and a horse, he moved freely and had a small goal, and he would not attract the attention of others.

And when he came back from Thundercloud Fort, he brought more than 100 horses, and the target was too big, and it was easy to be discovered by the patrolling Zhao soldiers, so he was intercepted and killed.

In order to hide their eyes and ears and quietly go south, they had to take rugged and difficult mountain trails, and from time to time they had to make a detour.

Moreover, Han Xueyu was young and weak, and he had an illness on the road, which was delayed for several days.

In this way, if Hua'an returns to the Central Plains alone, he can at least half a month in advance, and he will not lose to the eyes of the imperial court.

"The master asked you to go north to the Central Plains, mainly to experience your life experience and let you see the splendid rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, just to let you remember that it is also the land of my Great Jin." Han Qian was dissatisfied with Hua'an's frustration and reprimanded loudly.

When Hua An heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth, Han Qian's lesson was indeed very reasonable, although he did not have any great merit in his trip to the Central Plains, he also had a lot of experience.

Not only did he visit the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, and he got acquainted with heroes like Lei Storm and Zhao Wu, but he also met the Murong Ke brothers and sisters of Yan Kingdom.

Thinking of Murong Yan's fleshy face, Hua An felt a sense of beauty in his heart, and he also peeked obscenely at the inn, Murong Yan's fragrant scene of taking a bath and changing dressings.

"It's been such a wonderful journey, it's worth it, how can I be frustrated?" Hua An shook his head again and again, and a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Huaan, what are you laughing at?" Han Qian frowned and looked at Hua An, his tone was quite stern.

Hua An was thinking back to the trip to the Central Plains and a scene where he met the tea shed with Murong Yan, when he was suddenly drunk by Han Qian, and he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly responded: "What the master taught me is that Hua An knows that he is wrong. ”

Han Qian nodded, turned around and walked to the huge military map, looked at the mountains and rivers on the map, frowned and thought about it, for a long time, looked at Chen Xiong beside him, and said softly: "The camp will be handed over to you, and I will enter Beijing immediately." ”

After saying that, he strode away from the big tent.

"Master, wait for me." Hua An looked at Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu, and pulled Han Xueyu to chase him out, Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu understood, and followed closely behind and also stepped out of the Chinese army's tent.

Han Qian left the big tent, gathered a hundred personal soldiers, and stepped on the war horse to march to the capital, Hua'an also hurriedly pulled Han Xueyu on the war horse, and chased after Lei Storm and Zhao Wu.

Wang San settled a hundred fort soldiers, and the iron bull who rushed to hear the news came to the Chinese army tent in a hurry, but learned that Hua'an had left.

The two hurriedly chased to the gate, but only saw the smoke and dust in the distance, obviously, Hua An had gone away, the two looked at the direction of Hua An, and sighed for a while.

#######

Along the way, Hua'an and Han Qian walked side by side, and reported in detail what they saw and heard during the trip to the Central Plains, especially focusing on the battle of Thundercloud Castle.

How stupid Sun Fudu was, how he and the warriors of Thundercloud Castle, how bravely retreated from the enemy, and how he used fire to attack and annihilate Sun Fudu's 3,000 army, Du Zai carefully told it again.

Although there are some ingredients with oil and vinegar, they are basically more in line with the facts.

Han Qian nodded frequently when he heard this, he was very proud to teach a good apprentice like Hua An, and he was especially surprised that Hua An actually wiped out Sun Fudu's 3,000 elite army.

Although this Sun Fu is not a famous general, but he is very brave, when General Zu Di went on a northern expedition to the Central Plains, Sun Fu led the troops to charge forward and killed many generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Han Qian's deputy general, Chen Xiong, couldn't get used to Sun Fudu's arrogance back then, so he rushed forward, but was seriously injured by Sun Fudu.

"Hua'an, this fire attack plan is well used, when Shi Hu is repulsed, the master will have two important gifts for you." Han Qian looked at Hua An and said seriously.

When Hua An heard the gift, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what kind of gift is it?" ”

"Don't ask, you'll know when the time comes." Han Qian sold Guanzi.

Han Qian was reluctant to say it for the time being, and Hua An didn't want to ask again, but his heart was full of curiosity, these two gifts were like two jumping, tickling Hua An's heart.

Since it is a gift from the master to himself, it must not be very bad, what will it be?

Gold, jade and antiques are definitely impossible, the master does not have so much money, could it be the best weapons and sword scores, Hua An frowned and guessed.

#######

The camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army is not very far from the capital, and it is enough to talk about it all the way.

After entering the capital, Han Qian left a hundred soldiers outside the palace and entered the palace alone, while Hua An took Lei Storm, Zhao Wu and Han Xueyu to stroll through the bustling streets.

Hua An wanted to go home directly, but after being away from home for so long, since he wanted to go back, he had to prepare some gifts for his father and mother and Wang Ling at home.

Besides, in order to cross the river early, they had not officially eaten breakfast, but simply nibbled on a little dry food by the riverside, and it was already past noon, and the stomachs of the four of them were rumbling with hunger.

After wandering around the street for a while, Hua An saw that everyone was hungry, so he found a restaurant and ate it, and after they were full, the four of them returned to the market.

Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu have never been to Jiangnan, and they are very curious about the scenery and characters in Jiangnan, and the people here speak softly, not as rough as the northerners.

There are also many items sold in the street market that are not available in the north, and from time to time they pick up some items that they have never seen before and ask the vendors what they are for.

The hawker explained carefully, but they didn't buy it, which inevitably caused the hawker to be dissatisfied and scolded in dialect.

Hua An pulled Han Xueyu to walk in front, whenever he passed by the stall of delicious dim sum, Han Xueyu always stood there blankly and refused to leave, staring at the fragrant dim sum with a pair of big eyes.

Hua An couldn't resist her longing eyes, and would always stop to buy some, these delicious snacks were not only liked by children, but also by adults.

Hua An remembered that his father and mother and Wang Ling liked to eat these candies very much, in fact, even Hua An himself liked to eat them, but he bought so much, but he worked hard for the thunderstorm and Zhao Wu behind him.

Both of them were carrying large bags of candy in both hands, and they looked at least dozens of catties, but they were strong and strong, and they didn't feel hard.

Passing by a jewelry stall, Hua An was attracted by a pair of white and smooth jade bracelets.

"This pair of bracelets must be beautiful if they are worn on Ling'er's wrist." Hua An took the white bracelet in his hand and admired it carefully.

"It's really good, and the texture is good." Hua An praised himself and smiled inadvertently at the corner of his mouth.

"Childe, you want to buy it for your sweetheart! This bracelet is the most suitable, seeing that childe smiling so sweetly, that girl must be very beautiful. "In order to sell the bracelets, the peddler's mouth is as sweet as honey.

People like to be held, Hua An listened to the sweet words of the hawker, and suddenly became more proud in his heart, and said without thinking: "I bought it, wrap it." ”

"Thank you, Childe, what else do you want?" The peddler asked as he wrapped the jade bracelet.

When Hua An heard this, he thought in his heart, he only bought gifts for Ling'er, if he let his mother know, he would definitely be jealous.

As a son, Hua An is still very clear about the little temperament of the needle mother, and besides, the mother has raised herself for so long, so it is impossible not to buy gifts.

"What kind of jewelry is suitable for my mother." Hua An asked directly about the vendor.
