"The Hua family has four sons, the eldest daughter fifteen into the palace, Ying very much loved, after the queen died, given the name Mrs. Hua Jade Butterfly, the number of Mrs. Reward. Mrs. has three brothers, one from the text, the other from the military, the literati is in charge of the quercus oak in the court, the warrior is one in the court, and the other is in the opposition. When the dynasty is a Chinese flag, the emperor gives the 'mighty general' is also. ”

——"The History of the Qi Kingdom, Volume 3 * Zongmiao Chronicles"

After secretly entering Beijing and meeting Wei Ying, the general Hua Qi retreated to the vicinity of Gyeonggi, just waiting for today's auspicious day to arrive. Only then did he lead the crowd again and enter the gate of the capital generously to pay homage to the king.

The gongs and drums shook the earth, and a thousand soldiers wearing vermilion armor were divided into two rows at the moment when the gate of the palace city was opened, and the fish came out in an orderly manner. Hua Qi saw it clearly on the horse, this person who came to greet him seemed to have seen him in the capital a few years ago, when he seemed to be the close guard who followed the Eagle King Wei Lie, the leader of the Yu Lin Wei in the capital. Hua Qi's eyes darkened, the so-called things are human and wrong, but that's it, there is no Wei Lie in the capital, and his guard Kalai has already gained the Tao during his lifetime. There is a momentum to replace Wei Lie.

Beside Hua Qi, someone whispered softly, "When the general returns to Beijing, it should be greeted by the lord of the country." Hua Qi's face was like still water, obviously he heard the words of the people around him, but he didn't have any expression.

His gaze rested on the man's mount. The person who came to greet him, and the horse he sat on should be the Dawanliang horse from the Western Regions. More than a head taller than any of their horses, his own mount seemed shy at the sight of it, and let out a low Herodian chirping.

Hua Qi stroked the horse's mane and gave it a little comfort.

This is the dismount that Wei Ying gave him.

Although Wei Ying's words were very cordial when they met secretly yesterday, the indifference in his eyes did not escape his eyes. He was able to return to Beijing today not because of how favored his sister was, but because of the sudden death of the only general who could resist the invasion of the Xiliang Kingdom, so that he could have the honor of returning to Beijing on horseback.

It is an honor, and it is also a mockery of his previous ten years.

He was also a general of the dynasty, and he was demoted to the south by a holy decree to guard the land of projectiles!

Huaqi is Huaqi after all, his face was silent, but he rode forward and greeted him. The man on the other side smiled and looked at the famous general, who seemed to be a little different from the Chinese flag he had seen a few years ago. At least, there was no sharpness in his eyes.

It is no wonder that it is said that adversity wears down a person's sharpness, and it seems that this is true.

With both hands clenched into fists, the person who came didn't even get off the saddle, so he immediately bowed slightly, "The general has always been good, and his subordinate Qin Zimo was ordered to welcome the general into the city." ”

Qin Zimo......

Hua Qi wrote down the name, nodded slowly, swept the rank he was wearing, and also clenched his fists, "There is General Lao Qin." ”

Qin Zimo opened the way, greeted Hua Qi in front of him, and led the crowd to follow behind him, and couldn't help but secretly say hello in his heart! Although this man is sinking his waist and washing his side, his anger is worn out almost to nothing, but the heroic aura that he inadvertently exudes on his body makes people have to be in awe.

There weren't many people brought by Hua Qi, so the others followed behind the team and entered Miyagi. Many people came to the capital for the first time, and their eyes couldn't help but show some surprise and envy. It turns out that the capital is so glorious and prosperous, no wonder even those scholars are eager to seek a little fame, and they can go to the capital to seek an official and a half-job. There is indeed an invisible temptation for people in this place.

One of them couldn't help but sigh, "The capital is really prosperous!" ”

Someone saw the envious look in their eyes and whispered, "The barbarians of the south have never seen such a big scene." "It's low, but it's loud enough for everyone around to hear it clearly. The man who had spoken turned red and said no more.

They are all people who practice martial arts, and their ears are excellent, Qin Zimo was walking in front, and he also heard the disrespectful words of his subordinates, so he couldn't help frowning, and then looked back at the Huaqi beside him, as if he hadn't heard anything, as always, his face was like still water, and there were no waves.

"The general has come from afar, and His Majesty has ordered us to ask the general to settle it properly, and then go to the Jinluan Palace in the afternoon to catch up." Qin Zimo brought the Huaqi to the palace city, and the direction was not to walk towards the core of the palace city, but to turn a corner, and stop in front of a very magnificent palace. Hua Qi had an impression of this place before, this is the place where the lord of the country used to welcome foreign guests and envoys, looking at this situation, Wei Ying still has doubts about himself. This imposing looking palace is actually far from Wei Ying's Great Hall, and ...... Hua Qi glanced around slightly, and saw more than a dozen guards at several important sentry positions.

Qin Zimo completed his task and bowed to Hua Qi to retire, "General Kurama tired, please take a short rest first, after noon, someone will come to invite the general to the court." Hua Qi didn't care, "Thank you, General Qin." ”

The guards guarded the door, and someone came to remove the armor on Hua Qi's body, this set of armor is made of pure gold, in addition to being able to prevent sharp weapons such as knives and guns, its weight is also unbearable for ordinary people. Hua Qi wore him all the way, and he was already sweaty. As soon as I got rid of it at this time, I felt an indescribable joy in my body.

Strategist Yuan Sheng handed over a hot towel, Hua Qi took it and wiped his hands and faces, and saw that the guards in the room except for Yuan Sheng all had angry expressions, and sighed, "I have been away from the capital for many years, and it is reasonable to be treated with such courtesy, but even you can't raise your head in front of people." ”

Those young generals were full of shame, and they didn't even dare to say it, and the young general who had lost his words just now stepped forward, "It's my gaffe that makes everyone ashamed." He was indeed too surprised by the beauty of the capital just now, so he lost his temper for a while, but he didn't want to give those people a good opportunity to ridicule them.

Hua Qi waved his hand slightly, "The capital has become very bad over the years, and even I can't help but be shocked when I come back, you are all entering Beijing for the first time, joy and envy are inevitable, I don't blame you." The young general was even more ashamed, bowing his head and saying nothing.

"The beauty of the capital is just a beautiful skin, you should know, if he is not really afraid, why did he recall the general to the capital? Why didn't he dare to come to greet him in person, but just sent an unknown Qin Zimo to come? ”

The young general who had just spoken frowned and pondered, and suddenly said, "Could it be that there are no more people in the capital?" ”

Yuan Sheng glanced at Hua Qi with a tired face, "This is good, it is that there is an emptiness of military generals in the capital, it seems that over the years, there have not been any well-known figures among the military generals in the capital, or the armed forces in the capital have been in the hands of the Eagle King Wei Lie over the years, and the power has been monopolized, resulting in some martial arts talents not being able to come forward." ”

Yuan Sheng glanced at the young generals with different faces, "Any one of you can compare to them, so anyone who has an inferiority complex and humility should think more about it." After he finished speaking, several of them lowered their heads, Yuan Sheng changed his tone, and said, "Of course, you should only know these words in your heart, we may stay in the capital for more than a month, during this period, you must inform your subordinates not to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and everything is to calm down people." ”

"The last will obey." Several people clasped their fists together, remembering the words of the strategist, Yuan Sheng pondered for a moment, feeling that there was nothing to entrust, so he asked Hua Qi, "Does the general have anything else to train?" ”

Hua Qi smiled heartily and approvingly, "You've said all the good things, what else do I have to say?" You just have to remember what Mr. Yuan said. ”

"Today we are all tired, go back to our lodgings and have a good rest." The others withdrew.

Only Yuan Sheng and Hua Qi were left in the room.

Hua Qi closed his eyes and rested on the back of the chair, Yuan Sheng sat next to his table, picked up the tea and was just about to drink it, when he heard a sound outside the door, Hua Qi opened his eyes slightly, Yuan Sheng took a sip of tea and smiled, "What kind of person, such a quick action, I can't wait to see the general before I get to the lord of the country." ”

Hua Qi got up and changed into casual clothes, with a strap on his hand, "There are many officials in the capital who don't do their jobs, and there are many who will win over." Go open the door and see who it is. ”

Yuan Sheng got up to open the door, looked out, and couldn't help laughing even more, "The general guessed wrong this time, it's not a Beijing official, it's the palace that has come down." ”

Hua Qi's lips hooked up a smile, this highness, he thought that he was the first to get the moon near the water, but he didn't know that as early as when they just arrived in Gyeonggi, someone had already taken the lead and took the lead, he had a plan in his heart at this time, straightened the hem of his clothes, and Hua Qi went out to greet him, but he wanted to see what this nephew, who had been smart since he was a child, could say.

"The general will enter Beijing today." Ruoxi held the kettle to water the small potted plants on the table, and the fine and dense droplets of water fell on the petals, adding a little more enchanting and delicate in vain. The days are really fast, she only heard that day that Huaqi will enter Beijing in the future, and she doesn't want to arrive today.

"You can't imagine who is going to greet General Hua." Xiaoxiao removed the potted plant in her hand, and brought a new pot and put it in front of Ruoxi to facilitate her watering.

Ruoxi didn't look up, "General Hua is also a general-level figure, why can't he be greeted by the lord of the country?" ”

"Wrong." Xiaoxiao smiled proudly, as if he had guessed that Ruoxi would definitely guess wrong, "If the lord of the country welcomes him personally, it won't be interesting, right?" ”

"Who's that? I can't think of anyone who is qualified to meet a great general. Ruoxi put down the kettle and asked.

"It's Qin Zimo, the original head of the Yulin Army." Said with a smile.

"A little general who was born as a captain of the guard can do this errand?" Ruoxi was smiling on her face, but she actually knew a little more in her heart.
