Xiao Xiao said: "It's almost reported a long time ago." ”

Ji Zeyu jumped off the horse in a dashing manner, threw the reins to the entourage behind him, and walked side by side with the owl.

"The surname is Qin, you killed it?"

"Nope."

The two entered the city gate and walked on the bustling streets of the capital, without speaking for a while.

They were all tall and handsome, one wore a black mink velvet, and the other wore a white fox armpit cloak, cold as frost, walking side by side, which really attracted the attention of many people in the capital.

Many people recognized that the black-clothed man was the commander of the Tiger Army, Prince Zhongshun. The one in white is the commander of the Long Xiang Army, and he is waiting for Ji Zeyu in the north.

However, because they were outside, and I didn't know if these two big men in charge of the military had anything important to discuss, no one came forward to disturb them.

As he walked, he was worried about Qin Yining's body. The capital is located in the north, it is a place outside the border that Qin Yining has never been to, she is cold like that in the winter in the south, can she stand it when she arrives here? What's more, her body is weak, her qi and blood are insufficient, and she was still coughing when they parted.

When he thought about this, there was a worry in his expression that he couldn't hide.

And Ji Zeyu saw his look in his eyes.

After a long time, when he had forgotten what he had talked to Ji Zeyu just now, Ji Zeyu suddenly said, "It's okay." ”

There was no beginning or end to the sentence, and he was stunned.

Ji Zeyu had already taken the reins from the hands of his entourage, turned over and jumped on horseback, "The Holy Lord ordered me to set off, so I will leave." ”

Xiao Xiao said in surprise: "So urgent? ”

"Hmm. See you next time. Ji Zeyu rarely raised the corners of his lips, showed a smile, and arched his hand at the owl.

Xiao Xiao sighed lightly and said, "Okay, we'll meet next time." He also gave up his hand at Ji Zeyu.

Ji Zeyu put away his smile, glanced coldly at Xiao Xiao and the people around him, and then turned around and rode away.

Huzi shuddered, "Dingbeihou's temperament has really not changed for many years, and the eyes that look at people are as if they have an enmity with you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao just shook his head with a smile and sighed: "That's it, since you have come back, let's enter the palace first." "Lest he be seized by those who have eaten enough to support him, and then impeach him for not respecting the Holy One.

Back in the capital, Xiao Xiao naturally had to tense all his nerves and deal with the things around him.

The water of officialdom is already deep. In order to fight the world for the Zhou Dynasty, he came out of all the bad things, and many people were late to avenge his father, so he didn't say that his murderous reputation was outside, that is, those ministers of the Northern Hebei Kingdom, and now when he sees him, it is like seeing the enemy who killed his father. The open sword and the hidden arrow are invincible, and he must fight with the spirit of 120,000 points to deal with these.

Besides, the one on the throne has always had a grudge against him.

And so it really happened, as he expected.

* Atmospheric palace in the middle of the palace.

A middle-aged man dressed in bright yellow imperial clothes, with a medium stature and a kind face, supported the kneeling owl in front of him with both hands, and his voice was full of joy:

"Brother Xian, please get up quickly, you have been out to fight for so long, our brother has not spoken for a long time, but I really want to die as a brother!"

Xiao Xiao took a few steps back and stood at the bottom of the steps, and said respectfully: "The same is true for the minister." How is the saint in good health these days? ”

"Good, all right. It's just that I miss you, Dayan's affairs, you did a great job, but the situation of surrender and handover is too complicated, I don't want you to be burdened anymore, so I simply called you back, you won't blame me, right? ”

"What did the Holy One say?" Xiao Xiao smiled, "It's too late to be happy, you know, the minister is the most impatient to do these troublesome things." If you have that effort, you might as well have a few more glasses of good wine! ”

"Haha! That's right! Li Qitian laughed loudly, and then said, "You have worked hard this time, you have also been fighting outside for a long time, the old people in the family miss you, and you should be more filial piety by their side, in addition, you are too hardworking, I plan to temporarily let Zuo Jinwei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, act as the commander of the Tiger Ben Army, and you can rest in the capital with peace of mind, what do you think?" ”

This is to take back his military power!

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and respectfully bowed: "The Holy Lord's instructions are in line with the minister's wishes, and the minister is grateful to the Holy Lord." ”

Li Qitian didn't seem to think that Xiao Xiao would agree so easily, he was stunned for a moment, and smiled quietly: "Okay, good, I will give you 100 acres of fertile land, 100 taels of gold, and 10 beautiful women as concubines, you must have a good life and recuperation during this time, my Da Zhou, I still rely on you!" ”

"As long as the Holy God commands, the ministers are willing to do whatever they want." Once again, I respectfully thanked him.

When he entered the palace, he was still the commander of the Tiger Army.

When he left the palace, he had already been deprived of military power, handed over the military talisman, and became an idle prince who only had a prince and no official position.

In addition to the guards behind him, he also followed the eunuchs who gave rewards, and at the end of the team, there were ten great beauties with their own characteristics.

Huzi frowned his face, lowered his voice and said in Xiao Xiao's ear: "Lord Wang, if the fourth young lady knows that she hasn't passed the door yet, you have ten concubines from the imperial gift, what will you do?" ”

It's really a pot that can't be opened!

Xiao Xiao's face was expressionless, but he couldn't be more impatient in his heart.

When I returned to the palace of Prince Zhongshun, I asked people to take the ten beauties to settle down, and then I went to greet my mother, grandfather, and grandmother.

Just when Xiao Xiao was reunited with his family, he didn't know that Ji Zeyu, who left the capital and was supposed to go to the direction of the northern Tatars with his own soldiers, came out of the north gate, made a big detour, and went straight to the south where Dayan Chao was located.

"Miss, you hold this hand stove, but don't catch a cold again."

On the spacious carriage, Jiyun stuffed a brass hand warmer into Qin Yining's arms.

Qin Yining hurriedly took it and put his cold hands on it, which made him feel a lot more comfortable, and said with a smile: "Where am I so prone to colds?" Don't worry, I'm getting better this time. It's just that I didn't expect that the winter of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be so cold, and it was really hard to catch up with the big winter. ”

Ten days ago, King Yanjun led his family, as well as the first batch of officials and family members who surrendered to the Great Zhou, and embarked on a journey to the capital of the Northern Great Zhou.

The Yan Dynasty is located in the south, and even if it snows in winter, it is difficult to stand on the ground.

However, the more they went all the way to the capital, the colder the weather became, until they crossed the border between the two countries and entered the territory of the Great Zhou.

Such cold weather is not suitable for people from the south.

Thanks to Qin Yining, who lived on the border in the early years, he adapted better than the rest of the family.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front of the convoy, and the carriage slowly stopped.

Qin Yining said strangely: "What's the matter?" ”

"Slave maid go and see." Jiyun jumped out of the carriage.

On this trip, Yu Chiyan, concubines and palace people walked in the final finale of the team, the team of the Li family of An Guogong in front, the emperor Gu family in front, and the fourth family from back to front, which is the Qin family.

And before the Qin family, there were dozens of carriages in front of them.

Jiyun stretched his neck and looked forward, and suddenly his expression changed drastically.

I saw that in the snow, there was a large group of big men wearing animal skins and masks, brandishing knives, guns and sticks into the convoy, and cut people when they saw them, especially the ladies who were riding in the carriage and the pannier chair, they were all dragged out and cut to the ground one by one!

"Miss, get out of the car, quick, quick! It's bandits! Jiyun shouted in a panic!
