"General Shu, you are here, I thought you weren't going to come today!"

Early in the morning, the dark commander waited at the gate of the palace, and after a while, he saw Shu Sirui coming on horseback.

Yesterday he waited for a day, Shu Sirui couldn't arrive, and the dark commander couldn't go back to his life by himself, so he could only wait at the palace gate, and today he finally waited for Shu Sirui.

Hearing the dark commander's complaint, Shu Sirui arched his hand apologetically, and the dark commander could understand, after all, it was Xiao Biesheng's newlywed.

"How are you doing at home?" Shu Sirui is not there, and everything must be borne by Yunzhu alone, and the dark commander opened his mouth with concern, asking about Yunzhu's condition.

"Commander Lao is worried, everything is fine at home, and Neiko is also very good." Guessing that the dark commander would also ask about Yunzhu, Shu Sirui answered directly.

"It's good, it's good." Shu Sirui guessed correctly, the Dark Commander really planned to ask Yun Zhu to come, but Shu Sirui had already answered, so he didn't need to continue asking.

The two tied their horses to the palace gate, and then entered the palace together.

"Emperor Qi, the secret commander and Shu ...... Master Shu asked to see him. ”

Now that Shu Sirui is no longer a general, and he doesn't seem to have any official position, the chief eunuch really doesn't know what to call for a while.

"Pass them in." Knowing that the two of them were back, the emperor was very happy and gave an order to the chief eunuch.

In response, the chief eunuch went out and invited Shu Sirui and the dark commander in.

"Two Aiqing, you're finally back." Seeing the two of them, the emperor seemed very happy, he looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but speak again, "The two Aiqing have lost a lot of weight, and it seems that this journey is very hard. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are not hard, but they almost died."

Shu Sirui opened his mouth and saluted the emperor, so he called himself a minister, because he was helping the emperor this time, and he was also a courtier, and it was okay to be a minister.

"No life? Is the southwest border so dangerous now? The emperor was a little surprised, looked at Shu Sirui and asked.

"The two Aiqing sit down quickly and tell me in detail about going to the southwest this time."

You must know that whether it is Shu Sirui or the dark commander, they are all capable cadres around the emperor, and they almost died, how can this not shock the emperor?

Hearing the emperor's words, the two sat down after saluting, Shu Sirui glanced at the dark commander, and motioned for him to speak, after all, he usually likes to talk.

Noticing Shu Sirui's gaze, the dark commander was a little helpless, so he had no choice but to open his mouth and tell the story along the way.

Of course, it's a short explanation, after all, I've been out for months, and if I talk about it day by day, I don't know when I'm going to talk about it.

Even so, it took a lot of time to say this, the emperor listened carefully, and when he heard that the two of them almost died, the emperor's face couldn't help but change.

If this is because of the incident in the southwest, the two generals are lost, and the emperor is afraid that he will regret his death.

"Good thing you're okay." With some emotion, the emperor looked at Shu Sirui, "If Mrs. Shu knows that you have encountered such a thing, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for you to go out on an errand next time." ”

When the emperor said this, the dark commander couldn't help but snicker, and the expression on Shu Sirui's face didn't change much, but he agreed with what the emperor said in his heart.

Motioning for the Dark Commander to continue, the Dark Commander continued to speak, and it took a while to finish everything.

"Your Majesty, is that General Wang really sent by you?" This question has been haunting Shu Sirui's heart for a long time.

used to often lead troops to fight, Shu Sirui understood that the guards at the border pass could not move easily, but in a short time, the border pass changed guards, although it was General Wang who he had gotten along with, Shu Sirui was still not at ease.

"Shu Qing rest assured, that General Wang was indeed sent by me, you are different now, you have concerns, otherwise, this time, the matter will be the one who is stationed at the southwest border pass, it will be you."

Although the emperor knew that sending General Wang out might not be a long-term solution, and General Wang was also very concerned about his family, but at the moment, the most suitable person was only General Wang.

Hearing the emperor say this, Shu Sirui and the dark commander were relieved, since it was arranged by the emperor himself, there must be no problems.

As he spoke, the emperor kept observing Shu Sirui's reaction, and saw that he didn't react at all, knowing that no matter how much he said, it would be in vain.

sighed in his heart, to be honest, the emperor really wanted Shu Sirui to return to the court, but his mind was not there, even if he let him come back, it would be useless at all.

A general who only cares about his family in his heart is afraid that he will not be able to be a good general, because some things can only succeed if he has the determination to die.

"The two Aiqing have worked hard this time, I don't know what reward you want?"

Looking at the two of them, the emperor asked, and the dark commander looked at Shu Sirui, wondering how he answered.

"I told the emperor before that I stay in the capital for half a year every year, and it looks like it's almost over, and in September, my subordinates will accompany Neiko home, and I think I won't come back until half a year later."

Shu Sirui knew that Yunzhu, if he went home, he would probably live until the New Year, after all, they were not at home during the New Year last year.

"This ...... Well, I'll give you something to take home with you. ”

Although he didn't want Shu Sirui to go, he couldn't go back on what he had promised before, so the emperor nodded and responded to Shu Sirui's words.

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Shu Sirui didn't have anything to say, after helping the emperor do something, he was a civilian again, and he didn't need any reward.

As long as he allowed himself to come and go, it was already a good reward.

"Dark Lord, what about you?" Looking at the Dark Commander, the Emperor asked.

"Emperor Qiqi, my subordinates don't have anything to want, this time I can pick up a life and come back, my subordinates are already very happy, I can eat meat and drink wine again, my subordinates are already very satisfied."

Hearing the dark commander say this, the emperor was silent for a moment, "Since this is the case, I will reward each of you with one hundred taels of gold, ten jars of imperial wine under the secret command, and ten horses of Shu Sirui brocade." ”

The emperor knew that Shu Sirui didn't like fine wine, so the last time the brocade was given to his wife, it could be regarded as his favorite.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Saluting to the emperor, both of them were very satisfied with their reward.

"I heard that Mrs. Shu has opened another shop in the capital, and she has nothing to do today, so why don't you two accompany me on a trip?"

It is rare for the emperor to leave the palace, and he naturally has to be accompanied by someone, and he must be strong in martial arts, whether it is Shu Sirui or the secret commander, it is all in line.

"Yes." The two saluted again, although it was a little difficult to accompany the emperor out of the palace, no matter how you said it, it was easier to do than going to the southwest before.

Seeing that the two of them should go down, the emperor went to change into his regular clothes, and ordered someone to prepare horses, and went out of the palace with Shu Sirui and the dark commander.

After leaving the palace, Shu Sirui led the way in front, the dark commander pressed the road behind, and the emperor walked between the two.

There are still some guards behind him, but there are not many, after all, there are Shu Sirui and the dark commander, not to mention, if you travel with so many people, it is really too eye-catching.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are really only these people, and in the shadows, there are still many people who protect the emperor, but they will not appear easily.

Walking all the way, the emperor looked at both sides of the street, after all, it was his own capital, and he always had to see the people's feelings.

Finally, the group came to Kelaixiang, but unfortunately, because it was noon, at this time Kelaixiang was full, and many guests were still waiting.

Looking at the many people at the door, the emperor became more and more interested in Yunzhu's shop, and the chief eunuch around him wanted to clear the people, but was stopped by the emperor.

Waiting in line, this is the first experience in the emperor's life.

"You can tell at a glance that this plaque is the character of Tan Lao." Looking at the signboard of Kelaixiang, the emperor smiled and spoke, Shu Sirui looked up, he really didn't know when this plaque was made.

It seems that it should be after he leaves, but yesterday the couple chatted and didn't talk about it.

There are fewer and fewer people, and finally it is Shu Sirui and the others' turn, looking at the satisfied looks that come out of the store, the emperor is more and more itchy.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" There was a commotion behind him, and the emperor frowned in displeasure and looked behind him.

I saw a tall man pushing the person in front of him, and behind him, followed by a man in fancy clothes, looking at his age, he should be in his early twenties.

Behind the man in fancy clothes, there were a few people, looking at their outfits, it was clear that they were subordinates, but the expressions on their faces made the emperor feel ridiculous.

Bully people by flaunting one's powerful connections...... It was the first word that came to the emperor's mind.

"Get out of the way, don't you see our son-in-law coming?"

The people behind the emperor were pushed away, and the big man finally came to Shu Sirui and the others.

Looking at Shu Sirui and the others, the big man stretched out his hand, wanting to push aside the emperor who was blocking in front of him as before.

Before he could meet the emperor, he was stopped by the secret commander, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect someone to stop him.

"Presumptuous, you dare to stop it, do you know who our son is?"

It took some strength, but the dark leader didn't move, and the big man knew that he had encountered a winning stubble, but he couldn't back down, so he scolded the dark leader.

"I don't know who your son-in-law is, I only know who I am, and the acquaintance point is honestly queuing up at the back, otherwise, I'll let you know how to write regret."

Looking at the big man, the dark leader's expression was very serious, which made the big man feel a little weak, but thinking of the identity of the man in the fancy clothes behind him, the big man couldn't help but get angry.

"I don't care who you are, even if it's the king of heaven, you have to get out of the way for me today! Hurry up, or I'll be rude to you!" ”
