For Wang Xiaolai's return to the court, the empress was considered to have given enough face, and as soon as she entered Sizhou, officials from the court would greet her every ten miles.

At the beginning, he was still a petty official of the fourth or fifth grade, but with the pace of progress, the official position he greeted gradually increased.

By the time Tongguan arrived, the person who greeted him had already become Fan Lin.

At the beginning of the war, Fan Lin was sent to Qingzhou by the empress to control the situation.

And Fan Lin did not disappoint the empress, if he hadn't been in Qingzhou, I am afraid that in the early days of Zhao Sui's rebellion, those who looked up to Zhao Sui would have to respond to Zhao Sui.

"Marshal Wang!"

Seeing Wang Xiaolai from afar, Fan Lin laughed.

Wang Xiaolai saw Fan Lin Yele, and respectfully put his hands together: "Old Fan." ”

Fan Lin smiled, dressed in a purple official robe, he walked to Wang Xiaolai's side, patted Wang Xiaolai's shoulder and laughed: "I haven't seen you for many days, the marshal has changed a lot." ”

Wang Xiaolai didn't understand, so he looked up at Fan Lin curiously.

Fan Lin smiled and said: "The marshal's punches and kicks were not light. ”

Wang Xiaolai was a little embarrassed at that time.

He also knew that Fan Lin was talking about the meeting at the beginning of the previous year, when he sent Suizhu to Silla to return, and when he went to the fireworks field with Shen Xiping to have fun, the two sides had a conflict, and he caught Fan Lin and punched him several times.

Fan Lin sighed: "Last time, it wasn't for the old man's age, and he couldn't tell who would win and who would lose, but now it's not good, the old man has listened to His Majesty, Marshal, you also have kung fu now, you can't beat, you can't beat." ”

Wang Xiaolai also laughed: "At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I caused a lot of trouble, and I made Your Majesty worry a lot, eh." ”

Fan Lin hugged Wang Xiaolai's shoulders and said with a smile: "Young man, how can you succeed without a little blood, to be honest, you can successfully quell the rebellion this time, but everyone didn't expect it." ”

"After all, Your Majesty trusts me so much, I can't live up to Your Majesty."

"Okay, don't talk about it yet, let's go, let's go to Tongguan and talk about it."

"Hmm."

With a promise, the 150,000-strong army entered Tongguan.

Chen Zhong, the general of Tongguan, led his men to greet the soldiers who had returned victoriously.

Ning Shiguang looked at the grass and trees in Tongguan, and there were still some traces left by the war, and he sighed: "I think that at the beginning, when Zhao Sui hit Tongguan, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of Lu Houye, I am afraid that the general trend would have gone at that time, but unfortunately, Lu Houye fell for the villain's trick by mistake." ”

Jin Shichang sighed: "But although Marquis Lu is no longer here, we have Marshal Wang." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Fan Lin and Wang Xiaolai walked in front, followed by a large number of senior generals in the army.

Everyone came to the general's hall, where wine and food had already been prepared, and there were a variety of dishes, flying in the sky and swimming in the water, because there was everything.

Fan Lin beckoned Wang Xiaolai to sit down, picked up the tin pot on the table, and said: "This is the imperial wine in the palace, it is rare to taste it usually, this time I came, brought enough quantity, and the marshal drank it freely." ”

"Where's the brother below? How do they arrange it? Wang Xiaolai is not particularly interested in wine and asked.

Shen Xiping picked up the cup and rushed to Fan Lin: "Old Shangshu, bring me a cup, give me a cup." ”

Seeing this, Fan Lin deliberately glared: "Little rabbit cub, now you know to call me Lao Shangshu, when you were in Fengyue Street, you kid didn't take it lightly." ”

Shen Xiping smiled.

Fan Lin turned his head to look at Wang Xiaolai again: "Don't worry, marshal, I came to Tongguan this time, but I brought 200,000 taels of silver, the imperial chef in the palace, the chef of the folk restaurant, I brought half of it, enough for the 150,000 soldiers to eat and drink." ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded.

Eat, then what else could there be.

At the wine table, a group of generals were a little restrained at the beginning, after all, they were also having fun in front of Wang Xiaolai, which is understandable, and the party with the boss can't let go at all.

Anyway, there is Shen Xiping's tamping to adjust the atmosphere, others are restrained by Wang Xiaolai, he is different, and then everyone sits, I am afraid that only Liu Mianyi and Shen Xiping are comparable, of course, it is about the time when I met Wang Xiaolai.

However, when staying together, there are still many Shen Xiping.

Therefore, he also knows what kind of temper Wang Xiaolai has when he has nothing to do.

Regardless of Shen Xiping's eating and drinking, Wang Xiaolai stopped his chopsticks and asked Fan Lindao: "What is the situation in Daxing City now?" ”

Fan Lin picked a thumb up: "Yes, Your Majesty has also transferred Brother Lu back, and he is committed to developing the economy of Daxing City, although it has only been more than 20 days, but Daxing City has already had a thriving appearance." ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded, and suddenly seemed to think of something: "By the way, did Your Majesty say something else?" ”

Fan Lin smiled: "Something else, something else?" ”

Looking at Fan Lin's appearance, Wang Xiaolai knew that Fan Lin had misunderstood what he meant, so he could only say clearly: "Over there in the north." ”

As soon as it came to the north, all the generals at the wine table looked back.

Wang Xiaolai said: "Isn't the eighth prince still dealing with Huyan Zhuozhuo in the north?" I've been dealing with Zhao Sui these days, and I haven't cared much about things in the north, what's the situation? ”

"Okay."

"Okay?"

Fan Lin nodded: "Well, it's okay, do you think, the Eighth Prince dealt with Huyan Zhuozhuo and Helian Weiwu alone, the two masters of the Heavenly Ranks, and he could hold on for half a year without letting the second line of defense in the north fail, isn't it okay, what else can it be?" If you want me to say, the eighth prince is simply amazing. ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled: "Old Fan, why are you sloppy with me." ”

Fan Lin pretended to be confused: "What a sloppy eye." ”

"For example, what is Your Majesty's next move? Don't tell me to recuperate, after all, there are still hundreds of thousands of jackals at the north gate. ”

Fan Lin was waiting for Wang Xiao to say this, he smiled and said: "I have just been transferred back to Daxing City, Your Majesty has many decisions, I don't know, if the marshal has the heart, go back and ask Your Majesty directly, anyway, it's not an outsider." ”

Wang Xiaolai's shoulders shook: "Forget it." ”

"Why? Are you at odds with Your Majesty? Fan Lin was puzzled.

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "No." ”

Fan Lin frowned, not knowing what was going on.

Shen Xiping crawled over to the side and said with a smile: "Old Shangshu, you don't know." ”

Fan Lin looked up at Shen Xiping.

Seeing it, Shen Xiping grinned and said: "The marshal is afraid of His Royal Highness Suizhu, after all, he owes the merry..."

Without waiting for Shen Xiping to finish speaking, Wang Xiaolai picked up a plate and slapped it directly on his face, and at the same time said to Fan Lin: "Don't bother with this product, he is talking nonsense." ”

Although Wang Xiaolai had already explained, Fan Lin looked suddenly enlightened, followed by an expression of "I understand, I understand, I understand".

Wang Xiaolai said in his heart that he wanted to publicize according to Shen Xiping's big mouth, even if he didn't have anything to do with following Zhu, he could still have an accident.

Thinking of this, he glared at Shen Xiping fiercely.

The latter was agitated and hurriedly hid.

Fan Lin is also an old fox, knowing that Wang Xiaolai didn't want to say more about this matter, so he changed the topic: "That's right, marshal." ”

Wang Xiaolai looked back at him.

Fan Lin smiled and said, "Your Majesty bought you a piece of land in the city. ”

"Ground?"

"Well, it's right next to your Foxconn shop, but it's big, it is said that the foundation has been laid to build a house for you."

Wang Xiaolai didn't expect the empress to do this, and smacked his tongue and said: "Then you have a lot of silver, Zhao Sui's property is still in the army, where does Your Majesty get the money?" ”

Fan Lin smiled and waved his hand: "Not much, not much, as soon as the people heard that they were going to build a house for the marshal, they all came to help for free, as for the silver to buy the land, the landlord said that it would be sold at a low price and would not make money." ”

"So good?"

"Of course, you don't know how high your prestige is among the people now, after all, you are the savior who saved Sui Yang, and many big girls and little daughters-in-law worship you to the marshal."

"Ahem..."

"Marshal, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Shen Xiping seemed to have seen through everything, shook his head and sighed: "Now, in front of Your Majesty, the adults will be unable to tell again." ”

The other generals nodded thoughtfully, all agreeing with Shen Xiping's opinion.

On that day, it was lively, and the soldiers were drunk for most of the night, but the next day, the trip was delayed.

Wang Xiao came to take a look at the sky, waved his hand, continued to rest, and set off tomorrow morning.

The soldiers, who had already had a headache from the hangover and didn't want to move, cheered.

The day passed like this, and the next day, when the sun outcropped, the 150,000 army, packed up neatly, headed towards Daxing City.
