Lu Heng didn't dare to say more at this time, he had to pay attention to the timing of his words, and he had to be able to observe his words, since this matter did not involve his own net worth and life, there was no need for him to make the Son of Heaven unhappy, and he would make trouble for himself in vain.

Lu Heng, who just lowered his eyebrows, disagreed with Li Qitian's approach at this time.

The saint is a resourceful person, to say something disrespectful, where can a person who can pull the banner of Zhongzheng and succeed in sitting on the throne, where will it be a straw bag? It's just that now, maybe people have been high for a long time, and they don't like to use their brains to do things, and they prefer to suppress them by thunderous means.

Xiao Zhixi seems to be a reckless man, but he is thick and fine, and he knows how to make good use of it.

I heard that Qin Yining had come back a long time ago, but Xiao Xiao did not return for a long time, and when Xiao Xiao returned to Beijing, the capital was such a situation, it was obvious that this was a scene planned by the husband and wife, and the saint didn't care at all and stepped into the trap!

The most terrifying thing is that the husband and wife may have already anticipated the character of the saint and the psychology of the courtiers, knowing that none of them, who are courtiers, will stop the angry saint from drilling into the trap himself.

So there's nothing missing......

What came to Lu Heng's mind was Qin Yining's little face and wise eyebrows.

His heart was gloomy for a while, this woman did not belong to him after all.

The amazement and unwillingness in his heart could not be explained, but Lu Heng could only pretend to be calm and not let his thoughts leak in the slightest.

In front of the city gate, there are more people than at the beginning, the lively scene is comparable to a temple fair, and there are even small vendors who carry their burdens to shuttle through the crowd to sell baked cakes, tea eggs and other food, and teenage girls carry baskets to sell sweet noodles, fruits and caramel candy.

The capital is still very cold in early spring, and everyone has been waiting for so long, and they are already hungry, so they naturally buy it to eat if conditions permit.

At this moment, a fast horse suddenly galloped past on the street, and immediately sat an internal supervisor in an iron-gray round-necked sunflower shirt.

The common people all stared at the direction in which the inner prisoner left, and when they saw him arrive at the city gate, they said a few words to the soldiers guarding the gate, and naturally they were let go, and went all the way out of the city.

There was speculation in the crowd.

"Didn't you come out of the palace to deliver the decree?"

"Very likely."

"But the prince has such a great merit, even if the saint doesn't greet him personally, he will arrange a big official, this only sends a eunuch to call people in, what does this mean."

"Whoa! You kid doesn't want to live anymore, you dare to talk nonsense! ”

……

Although some people say that some people will be persuaded, but it is not a person who has this kind of thought, the topic that has been discussed in the crowd for a round just now has been brought up again, and the people are eating snacks and exchanging their ideas, and there are even people who are speculating that they have made meritorious contributions and are still treated coldly, and eighty percent of them are highly meritorious.

"Hey, someone outside the city saw that the eunuch went to see the prince."

Someone shouted at the city gate.

The news was spread by word of mouth, and soon the onlookers knew that the eunuch really went to spread the holy message, and the speculation and discussion were even more difficult to suppress, and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were sweating profusely to maintain order and scold those who were talking nonsense, but there were so many people present, where could they manage it?

In the temporary camp outside the city, Xiong Jinshui saluted Xiao Xiao with a smile on his face, "Lord, the Holy Lord has ordered you to enter the city immediately and enter the palace to face the saint." The prince has been out for so long, and the saint must have missed the prince. ”

Xiao Xiao smiled, and arched his hand in the direction of the capital: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Then he turned back and ordered the camp to be pulled.

Xiong Jinshui didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

The prince returned to Beijing, but he was stationed in front of the city gate and refused to enter the city gate, he must have his own plan, and the saint called people back with a word, and still arranged for him to be a court official to pass the word, which was already an indirect expression of the saint's dissatisfaction with the delay in entering the city.

His status is humble, he is soft-spoken, he doesn't dare to question the saint, and he doesn't dare to say more in front of the prince, it is really difficult to do, what he is most afraid of is that the prince is dissatisfied, and he will be arrested and punished, not to mention the punishment, that is, he will be killed, the saint still will not be the prince, isn't he lost his life in vain?

Fortunately, the prince is not an unreasonable person.

Huzi and the others had already prepared to pull out the camp, and when they heard the words, they neatly packed everything up, and soon, Xiao Xiao ordered the team to set off.

Seeing him so happy, Xiong Jinshui was also full of smiles, rode on his horse, and followed the team of the owls to the city gate.

Soon in front of the city gate, there were already many people here who stopped to watch.

Gong Zongqi hurriedly greeted him and saluted respectfully, "Humble Gong Wen, see the prince!" ”

Xiao Xiao turned over and dismounted, picked up Gong Zongqi, and said with a smile: "It's you kid, I haven't seen you for more than two years, and your kid hasn't changed much." ”

In the face of such a bold and unrestrained man, Gong Zongqi naturally remembered the days under the at that time, and a wave of joy and respect arose.

Gong Zongqi's face turned red with excitement, and he grinned: "The prince still remembers me." ”

"That's nature. Why don't you remember, brothers? ”

When the people not far away heard the conversation between the two people, some people whispered:

"The prince is really a benevolent and righteous man."

"The prince doesn't have a shelf at all."

……

If it was usual, Xiao Xiao would not deliberately go to talk to the people on the side of the road, and at this time he was already about to turn over and go directly into the city.

But today, he greeted the people on the side of the road with a smile.

When the people saw this, they felt that a big pie fell from the sky and hit their heads, and they were already dizzy with joy for a while, some gave their hands, some saluted, some kowtowed, some praised, some grateful, and excited could not say a word.

The excited expressions of the people mixed with the cheerful voices, and the enthusiasm almost warmed up the early spring into the middle of summer.

Xiao Xiao smiled and bowed back to these people, and even responded to some greetings that he could hear clearly, answering some questions such as "how is the south?", "is life hard?", "will Nanyan raise troops", "have the thieves who killed the Qin family caught".

Qin Yining returned to Beijing in plain clothes, the palace was sparse, and new people were re-purchased, and the news that all the family members of the Qin family and the old lady and the old lady of the palace were killed by bandits on the way to the south had already spread.

For the sake of the country and the people, the big hero guarded the south so that they could live and work in peace and contentment, but his mother, elders, and his wife and family all died.

Such a tragedy, many people empathize with it, feel compassion, and compare the suffering of the owl, they are even more pity and admiration, so there are people to greet and comfort the owl.

When he took a few steps to the city gate, he had to stop to answer the people's questions, and when he saw that he was so easy-going, the people were also bold, and there were even more people who talked to him.

Xiong Jinshui followed Huzi and led the horse behind Xiao Xiao, sweating on his forehead.

He was still happy too soon.

Xiong Jinshui had a villain shouting frantically in his heart: Slave beg, my lord, hurry up and enter the palace, Shengshangbai has waited so long, I'm afraid it's not going to be a dragon! Slaves can't afford it!

However, this time, Xiao Xiao didn't understand Xiong Jinshui's inner wail at all, and still greeted the people kindly.

As soon as they saw that the owl had returned, the people all rushed to the city gate, and the great hero in their minds was really born like a heavenly immortal, and the style of the whole body was even more powerful than the angry King Kong in the temple, although it was powerful, but he was so gentle and unpretentious to talk to them.

The people who have been listening to the book reviews for a while are full of fantasies, and now they have seen the big hero up close, and they can't be more excited.

The owl was surrounded by the people, and even the soldiers and horses of the five cities scolded it to no avail, and the owl did not stop the people, but behaved more and more gently.

Just entering the city gate and walking a hundred steps forward, the team of the owls walked for more than an hour!

Gong Zongqi, Xiong Jinshui, and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were all about to cry at this time.

The biggest problem is that there are many people in the city, who heard that the big hero has entered the city, and they are all hurrying here.

There is enough chaos in front of the city gates, but I don't know how many more people will come!

Seeing that there were many people, he was afraid that someone would be trampled on if he accidentally fell, so he said in a loud voice: "Don't crowd, pay attention to safety, don't fall." ”

As soon as he spoke, someone in the crowd responded, and the crowded people were embarrassed to push hard.

Qin Yining was sitting at the window on the second floor of the teahouse at this time, smiling at the crowd surrounded by water at the city gate.

Bingtang also smacked his tongue: "It's been more than an hour, and the prince has only walked so far, how long will it take to get to the palace." ”

Qin Yining smiled helplessly, "The people are too enthusiastic, and he can't help it." ”

Qin Yining nodded to Tang Xiu behind him.

Tang Xiu immediately nodded and quietly retreated.

Soon, another voice was heard from the crowd.

"A big hero like the prince, who is so good, sacrificed his own home to protect our Great Zhou Dynasty, why is it only us mud-legged people to greet him, why don't you arrange people to come in the court!"

When it comes to this topic again, those people who have been in close contact with the owl and have talked to the owl are the most righteous indignant in their hearts.

As the voice said, their hearts were also dissatisfied with the fact that they were treated so coldly.

There were more people complaining.

In the hearts of the people, Xiao Xiao is a hero and a famous general.

If the Son of Heaven is a Ming Jun, he should be courteous to famous generals as Mr. Shu said, and if he can greet him in person, it will be more in line with everyone's imagination.

This kind of imagination is whether it is reasonable or not, but most people think so.

When someone says whatever comes to mind, there are more complaints.

In the imperial study, Li Qitian waited for two hours before anyone came, and he was angry and slapped the case fiercely.

"Xiong Jinshui's dog slave is getting more and more incapable of doing things, and it's so hard to pass on a message!"
