Xue Zhao ...... Not worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess, may she be well. He dodged his gaze for a moment, and looked at him with a slight pretense of calm.

"If even you don't deserve it, then who else in the world can?" General Guanying's rhetorical question was a bit mocking, but of course there was no malice in that kind of mockery.

Xue Zhao has always been a calm and respectable young man, but today, in the face of the repeated and repeated pressure of General Guanying, a respected old general, it is rare to feel embarrassed.

It is precisely because he knows very well, just as well as everyone in the world: Li Xiyun can only marry him if he has the right destination, so he is so embarrassed.

In the face of that kind of thing, even if he is Xue Zhao, it is normal to be a little shy, and there is no shame at all.

And he knew in his heart that although he didn't have any hope that Li Xiyun would be able to come out to greet him in person, and he felt that it was not worth it, but deep down in his heart, he was faintly expecting and a little apprehensive, and at the same time, he was slightly disappointed because Li Xiyun had not appeared for the time being.

Human nature is like this, even if most people have different personalities, but when they encounter certain things in a certain period of time, they will not be able to help themselves, so there is no one more powerful and noble than anyone else, and no identity can escape from this world.

In the face of General Guanying's almost persecutive words, his kind of indifference became more and more obvious, so General Guanying's smile became stronger.

The old general laughed. Xue Zhao shook his head, he didn't want to say anything more on this issue.

Seeing this, it was no longer inconvenient for General Guanying to test or add fuel to the fire to this young handsome man like a joke, but like many caravans and people around, he looked towards the city with a smile, looking forward to the good stories that might appear.

The sound of horses' hooves was neither hurried nor slow, and the footsteps of the troops marching were neat.

Although today's so many Yulin troops look as cold and old-fashioned as in the past on the surface, there is a lot of pride and comfort hidden under their expressionless faces.

Compared with those brothers who are still guarding Chang'an, they have experienced the trip to the north and have more conceited capital.

Their combat effectiveness is very strong, but those legions who fought in the south and the north and the foreign enemy always said for some reason that they had not experienced the kind of tempering of the country's life and death, and now, they let that rumor be dispelled - in the struggle against the Tu people, they are just as glorious, they are not only the Yulin army that threatens Chang'an, but also the army that can shine on the frontier, and from now on, those armies in other places will have no chance to find a sense of existence in this way.

They were proud of the warmth of the people who welcomed them in the streets, and they were a little smug.

A mile outside the city gate, those generals of the Yulin Army, including the two brothers Lin Rong and Lin Hai, were waiting for them with smiles on their faces, no matter what, Xue Zhao was too dazzling, and too unattainable, as young people, they might faintly compete or even be hostile to other young Junyan, but there would be no Xue Zhao in there, probably because they felt that they couldn't catch up with Xue Zhao's pace anyway. Indeed, hostile competitors are exactly the same as each other.

Seeing General Guanying's gray hair fluttering in the wind, but showing his old and strong demeanor, the generals who greeted him sincerely admired, and when the distance between the two sides was more than ten zhang, they stepped forward one after another, and said respectfully: "I've seen General Guanying." ”

He flattered Xue Zhao a little: "General Xue, in the days when you are not in Chang'an, the brothers in the feather forest miss you!" ”

Lin Rong's smile was even stronger, he had a good relationship with Xue Zhao, and shouted: "Xue Zhao, welcome back to Chang'an!" ”

"The old decay is not good, and I am a little active, but I am really sorry that so many of you have to greet you." General Guanying smiled, he had always been an amiable old general in the past.

Xue Zhao was a young man who was not good at words, he bloomed an awkward smile that he thought was very bright, and said to Lin Rong: "You are here too?" ”

Then he looked at Lin Hai again: "Lin Hai also went out of the city today?" ”

He was supposed to be trying to show some kindness, although it was a bit unbelievable, and it didn't look like he was thanking at all.

However, when a person is handsome, famous, and has become a national idol, he can do whatever he wants, and no one else will think that there is anything wrong with what he does. For this, Lin Hai didn't care, Lin Rong didn't care, as long as Xue Zhao spoke to them, he was very happy, at least they could say: They and Xue Zhao are brothers!

"Together with my brother," Lin Hai smiled, "Of course, it's for you, Brother Xue." ”

His voice of "Brother Xue" is cordial, and it is also a kind of closeness, probably because he knows very well that his eldest brother Lin Rong and Xue Zhao have a good relationship, and he, who is in Northern Xinjiang all the year round and does not come back often, is indeed a little estranged, and he wants to have a good relationship with this young man who is destined to become the most powerful figure in the Northern Tang Dynasty in the future.

Xue Zhao nodded and said "thank you", which was regarded as accepting the other party's kindness.

Some of the older of the other Yulin generals chatted harmoniously with General Guanying, and the Lin Rong and Lin Hai brothers also followed Xue Zhao closely, and the young people talked about young people among themselves.

The caravan and the people behind gradually returned to the main road, and began to follow the Yulin army forward, slowly following behind.

They're back, and it's like they're back to normal.

It's just that people began to look towards Chang'an City more and more often, and their faces became more and more anxious, and gradually it seemed that there was a small commotion.

At this point, Lin Hai may be a little ignorant of current affairs, and while talking, he couldn't help but throw out this idea that he had been holding in his heart for a long time:

"Brother Xue, today you returned to the dynasty in triumph, how can Her Royal Highness Princess Guangle ...... Didn't come out to greet you? In the face of the future Captain of the Pony, this is very undeserved, could it be that she was delayed because of something? ”

Lin Rong's face sank slightly, and he quietly pushed Lin Hai, and Lin Hai realized his gaffe and immediately stopped talking.

His words stiffened the atmosphere around the three of them a little.

They were less than a mile away from the city gate, very close, and Li Xiyun had not yet appeared, which made Xue Zhao, who was favored by many people, a little faceless.
