Li Shimin was naturally very happy to receive the good news from Xue Dingshan, but in the past few days, because of how old he was and the fatigue of the saddle horse for many years, the weather was getting colder and colder, and he didn't realize that it had caused a disease, Xu Maogong hurriedly summoned Cheng Yanjin and other old princes to discuss with Fan Lihua. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here.

Fan Lihua pondered for a moment and said, "Chitose, it's better to ask the saint to return to the court as soon as possible and return to the palace to meditate and cultivate!" Xu Mao said fairly: "This is exactly what the old man meant, now that the pacification of the Turks has been completed, only one important minister is left with full authority to take care of the alliance with the new Turkic king, there is no need to let the saint stay in the former enemy, and after two or three years in a flash, it should be returned to the court as soon as possible!" All the old princes also agreed.

Xu Maogong went to the dormitory and Li Shimin said that Li Shimin had long wanted to return to Chang'an, but because the generals were desperate in front of the enemy, he was afraid of chilling the hearts of the generals and did not put it forward.

As soon as Xu Maogong came out to tell everyone, all the old princes were very happy, and they decided to return to the court in three days, and each went back to prepare.

Fan Lihua returned to the camp and ordered the 100,000 horses and more than a dozen generals who stayed in the camp to escort back to the court, and she only left the 10,000 horses stationed in Baihu Pass.

On the morning of this day, Fan Lihua personally went to the palace to invite Li Shimin's Luan to drive, and sent out the ten-mile long pavilion, Li Shimin led the old princes, the old generals and Cheng Yanjin, Fan Lihua waved goodbye, and boarded the class to return to Chang'an, Beijing.

Seeing off Li Shimin, Cheng Yanjin rushed to Shajiang Pass with hundreds of personal soldiers.

Xue Dingshan heard the news and personally took him into the Shuai's mansion, and passed by after saying goodbye.

After a while, on this day, Tanma reported: "The new Turkic king personally led the civil and military forces to Shajiang Pass to ask for peace with the Tang Dynasty!" Xue Dingshan and Cheng Yanjin took out more than ten miles and took the new king Jianfeng into Shajiang Pass, Cheng Yanjin said that Li Shimin had returned to the dynasty due to ill health, and the affairs of the alliance were handled by himself, Jianfeng expressed his understanding, and ordered the old prime minister Han Erzhan and Cheng Yanjin to negotiate the specific matters of the alliance.

A few days later, a consensus was reached, and a bloody alliance was formed in front of Shajiang Pass, and the next day, Jian Feng led the ministers back to the royal court, and Xue Dingshan and Cheng Yanjin led the soldiers of the three armies to return to Baihu Pass.

There are more than ten miles away from the White Tiger Pass, just see the flag in front of the White Tiger Pass, the ribbons are fluttering, from time to time there is a melodious sound of the painting corner, the big flag is in the middle of the big book and the big "Fan" word, at the foot of the flag, Fan Lihua is full of military uniforms and sits on the thousands of miles of rouge snow, majestic, heroic and cool.

After Fan Lihua sent Cheng Yanjin away, she arranged the affairs in the city to return to the Shuai Mansion, and did not go out when she had nothing to do, and only accepted Huan in front of Princess Liu during the day, and returned to Yilanxuan at night to be tossed and turned, thinking about Xue Dingshan in Shajiang Pass, thinking about when he would be able to return, and the people in the mansion have had more respect for her since they heard that Fan Lihua came back from the dead and became an immortal.

On this day, she accompanied Princess Liu to gossip for a long time before resigning and returning to Yilanxuan, just after purifying her face and taking a book to open it, Yunlan came in with the curtain and replied: "Miss, the second aunt and grandmother, Miss Dou and Miss Chen are here!" ”

Fan Lihua was slightly stunned, and hurriedly put down the book and greeted her downstairs in person, Xue Jinlian, Dou, and Chen Ernu were waiting downstairs in a cloak, and when they saw Fan Lihua coming down, they hurriedly came over to give a salute, and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law has only been talking to my mother these days, and I have left my sister out in the cold!" Fan Lihua smiled: "My sister is my aunt and grandmother, how dare I snub my sister!" It's just that my sister only cares about your sister-in-law's reunion and doesn't have time to come to me, two young ladies, sister, please come upstairs and talk! It's weirdly cold out there! With that, he let the three sisters-in-law upstairs.

Raised the curtain to come in, gave up his seat, ordered Yunlan to serve tea, and said with a smile: "My sister and the two young ladies suddenly came to me, there must be something!" Xue Jinlian said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from my sister-in-law, the two sisters are leaving, and I came to say goodbye to my sister-in-law today!" ”

"Uh......" Fan Lihua was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "The two young ladies are leaving!" Chen Jinding nodded his head and said: "The New Year is approaching, the old father is left alone to receive the heavenly pass, there is no close relatives around, the slave wants to go back to serve the knee, in order to comfort the old father's loneliness!" Fan Lihua nodded lightly and said, "Cheng Huantian's ethics should, but it's a pity for me, alas! 'The son wants to raise but the kiss is not waiting'! Xue Jinlian saw that Fan Lihua's face was desolate, and hurriedly persuaded: "Sister-in-law, it's been so many years, sister-in-law, don't be sad anymore!" Fan Lihua smiled and said, "Yes! Time flies, seven or eight years have passed, Miss Dou has no other relatives, she should be reunited with her brother and sister-in-law, why should she leave! ”

Dou Xiantong smiled bitterly: "Although the slave has no dear parents, but there is still a master in the high mountains, the slave's parents died when he was a child, it was the master who brought the slave to the mountains to raise adults, the master treats the slave closer than his parents, it has been several years since the art man went down the mountain, the master and apprentice have never met again, a few days ago I saw the sister of Yuxian grieving in front of the princess's spirit, the slave couldn't help but think of the master, the slave wanted to go back to the mountain to see the master, do his best as a disciple!" ”

Fan Lihua heard Dou Xiantong say that she wanted to go back to the mountain to serve her teacher, and her heart couldn't help but move, and she hurriedly said: "Miss Dou has the intention of being born!" ”

Dou Xiantong smiled bitterly: "This ...... I can't say it, I just want to be quiet and sort out some things, I think the princess has also heard of it, and the slave once admired Lord Xue, and also wanted to ...... Alas! Later, when he heard that the princess was going to die for the country, the slave was secretly happy and dreamed of replacing the princess.

"That night, the slave happened to hear the flute and song of the princess and King Xue in the garden, and thought that the princess was going to die soon, and the fairy couple was just a red face in the end, a widow to old age, the red dust was chaotic, what was the interest of grievances and hatreds, and the heart of admiration turned into smoke and clouds, so the slave wanted to go back to the mountain and listen to the master's teachings again!"

"Alas!" Fan Lihua listened to Dou Xiantong's words, her heart was tumbling, she sighed softly, and said, "It's General Xue who mistook Miss!" Dou Xiantong shook his head and said: "No, it has nothing to do with Xue Shizi, Xue Shizi has never given any promise to the slave, how can he mistake the slave family, it is the slave family who is obsessed, maybe ......" Dou Xiantong smiled and said: "After the master has been enlightened for a while, I will go down the mountain to find the true love that belongs to me!" ”

"It's okay, it's rare that Miss Dou has this wisdom and spirituality, and the slave has also thought about going back to the mountain to meditate on the body of the afterlife, but it's a pity that it's ......" Fan Lihua sighed: "The red dust is entangled, the fate is not over, and you can't leave if you want to, but the slave is envious that Miss Dou is free to come and go!" ”

Dou Xiantong said with a smile: "The princess has soared into an immortal, which is a positive result that we mortals can't get even after a few lifetimes of penance, how can you still envy us!" Fan Lihua smiled and said nothing,
