Since entering Yecheng, Gao Changgong and others have found that the scene in the city this time is even more lively than the previous ones.

There are many more people than before, from the city gate, and even the streets and alleys of the city, in front of the house, in front of the store, there are people standing in front of the house.

"His Royal Highness, the old general Hu Lu and others have returned victorious!"

"This battle was really well fought."

"And that's not all! I heard that His Royal Highness appeared under Luoyang City, only brought 500 light horses, and then went deep into the enemy's encirclement alone, single-handedly, bravely fighting the enemy! ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Lanling, obviously he was born with such a handsome face, why do you still wear such a hideous and terrifying mask?"

"There was a new song in the army before, I don't know if you heard about it?"

"What is it? You said to hear about it? ”

"Eh, don't say it, don't say it! Look! His Royal Highness the King of Lanling, they are already coming in this direction! ”

“...”

Bustling, crowded with people, it is even more lively than the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival. All the way to the Yecheng Palace, Gao Changgong, Duan Shaohu, Luguang and the others naturally listened to the discussion of the results of their battle in the noise.

It's just that most of this discussion comes from topics such as Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, leading five hundred light horsemen, going deep into the encirclement of the enemy army alone, and fighting the enemy army single-handedly.

Regarding this, Gao Changgong just wore that polite smile and waved to the people who greeted him, even if it was regarded as a reply.

However, from the visual point of Hu Luguang and Duan Shao, since this journey, they have been accustomed to hearing the joyful voices of the people congratulating them, and this facial expression has always been so complex and incomprehensible. Absent-minded.

At this side, Zheng Qingqing also thought that if Gao Changgong and his party entered the palace, the emperor must be indispensable to reward them today. If the battle is won, this celebration banquet must be indispensable.

It won't be long before Yecheng will send someone to invite her to the banquet with her.

After all, her current identity is not only the daughter of the Zheng family, but also the identity of Princess Lanling, and even more for his wife, Princess Lanling.

Since this is the case, it is natural for the husband to sing and the wife to follow.

Yes, she is also unsettled.

When he instructed the housekeeper to prepare for today's dinner, he called Orchid Dance to dress up for himself, and did not let Jiechen and others prepare a car, so he borrowed a horse from Jiechen again.

At this moment, she completely abandoned the etiquette and demeanor that a woman and a princess should have, like a heroic female general, got on the horse heroically, and went straight to the direction of Yecheng.

When I arrived outside the gate of Yecheng Palace, it was close to dusk and sunset, and the moon was full of dead branches.

"Stop! Who are you? How dare you be so bold and trespass into the palace without permission? You think this is your home, can you come and go as you please? ”

She had long expected that this would be the result if she didn't take any car.

But she also has a foolproof way to deal with it.

Without saying a word, he directly took out enough arrows to prove that she was the wife of Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling County. After the two guards guarding the door confirmed one by one, she went to the palace alone.

"Is she really the princess of Lanling? If it is an ordinary princess, shouldn't you let a maid or housekeeper drive into the palace when she enters the palace? This one was unique, and he came alone on a fast horse, which almost made me mistake it for an idle man at first glance. ”

After Zheng Qingqing completely disappeared from his sight, one of the guards did not forget to turn around and look in the direction she left, with emotion.

"His Royal Highness the King of Lanling said that he was the king of the county, but in fact, since he was young, he led troops to fight in all directions, fighting on the battlefield, how can he be said to be half a general. What's so strange about seeing the princess occasionally riding into the palace on horseback? What we saw before, the daughter of the old general Hu Luguang, the current crown princess, was not the case when she was not married to the crown prince by the emperor? Although a person answered, he did not forget to deny his words, and waved his hand.

"You're really special, what's the comparison between the two?" Halfway through the words, he glanced around vigilantly, "Come on, how can these royal relatives and nobles be discussed casually?" Don't talk about it, I don't know if the wall has ears! Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he stopped the other from blurting out the words, took the lead in cutting off the topic, and continued to guard dutifully with another guard.

Finding a place to tie the horse, he asked all the way.

Only then did I learn that the palace banquet had not yet begun, and Chang Gong and a group of brothers and sisters were in the imperial garden at the moment.

Zheng Qing Dynasty thanked the people of the palace and went straight to the direction pointed by the people of the palace.

When I got there, I realized that it was not very lively.

It seems that Chang Gong is telling his siblings about the situation and the process of this battle.

Xu Shi talked about the key point, although it was because the distance was still a little far, and it was not very real, but it seemed that the brothers and sisters were surprised by Chang Gong's description, and it seemed that they were really shocked.

"The fourth brother is not a big husband! Seeing such a clear situation, why didn't you take advantage of the victory to pursue it, and let Yu Wenyong and the Zhou army go? It's just a pity that I was sent by the Ninth Uncle to defend against the Turks that day, if my Gao Yanzong faced such a situation, where could he survive in his little Northern Zhou? ”

But when she had already approached them, the gloom drifted in Gao Yanzong's usual cynical words and disapproving tone.

Look at that extremely squeathy little look.

If Gao Yanzong really participated in this battle, wouldn't this kid even stand up his tail proudly among his brothers and sisters at this time?

"King Ande, this joke is good, and the atmosphere is suddenly a lot lighter." But seeing that she finally couldn't help laughing, she glanced at Gao Yanzong, who was like an arrogant rooster, and laughed out loud.

After saying that, he smiled politely at everyone present. Bow your head one by one.

"Chang Gong."

The presence of this husband and gentleman can not be ignored. As soon as he came up, he was glued to him like a child.

"Fourth sister-in-law, when did you come?" Xu didn't expect to kill a Zheng Qingqing halfway, and Gao Yanzong, who had just released a large number of arrogant words, was stunned for a moment at this time, as if he remembered what he had just said, and he was actually silent with interest.

"It's just not long...", this sentence came out, it seemed that Gao Yanzong and the others were still a little confused, so they smiled loudly, waved their hands at him, and explained simply: "That is, from the sentence you just said, 'If my Gao Yanzong faces such a situation, where can he survive in the small Northern Zhou?' After that sentence, I happened to be standing behind you and Changgong. ”

"Eh, fourth sister-in-law, do you want to cooperate with me like this to tell such a big truth..."

Zheng Qingqing's words fell, but it made Gao Yanzong's face inexplicably embarrassed, and he was quite embarrassed to be overheard by his ruthless words. It also caused a group of brothers and sisters to laugh.

"Laugh at what, laugh at what! That's true! Seeing this, Gao Yanzong held his breath, stood in the middle of the brothers and sisters like a child, straightened his waist, and said to everyone in a loud voice that was not afraid of heaven and earth: "I, Gao Yanzong, am not frightened. Since the fourth brother began to fight on the battlefield when he was ten years old, I have followed him everywhere to fight against the Zhou army. Now don't say that the Turkic army is standing in front of me, even if they unite with Zhou and attack my Northern Qi again, I, Gao Yanzong, will not be afraid, I will not retreat, I will definitely be the first to jump out, and take the initiative to ask Uncle Jiu Ying and the fourth brother to resist the enemy. ”

"It is worthy of Yanzong, but it is like Qingqing, and he has cultivated the temperament of not being afraid of heaven and earth." Gao Changgong couldn't extinguish Gao Yanzong's high morale at the moment, but he also knew his temperament well, so he just shook his head and praised a few words, not doing much to say.

However, Le'an, the princess who is the eldest sister, was immediately amused when Gao Yanzong finished letting go of the car's unbelievable rhetoric, and said to him with a smile that he was not angry: "Look at you, you are not small, but this tone is quite big." Since you like it so much, if there is a battle like this next time, I will first ask for you in front of the emperor and let you go with Xiaojun! ”

In the end, Gao Yanzong didn't think much about it, and he didn't hear the true meaning of Princess Le'an's words for a while, so he didn't think about it, didn't say a word, and nodded in response, "Okay!" Can't ask for it! As long as Uncle Jiu doesn't make any mistakes at that time, he suddenly asks me to send troops to defend against the Turks and the like. ”

As soon as these words fell, they gave a laugh to the brothers and sisters, and they burst into laughter.

"What a silly boy!" Princess Le'an couldn't help but be slightly stunned by Gao Yanzong's stupid words, so that her somewhat dignified and noble image in front of her younger siblings on weekdays was a little different, but she really couldn't hold back, and she covered her mouth and smiled very happily.

The atmosphere of the Imperial Garden was also unexpected by Zheng Qingqing, and it was surprisingly good.

It's just that when Gao Yanzong wanted to open his mouth to defend a few words, there was a person who shouldn't have appeared at this moment, destroying the warm moment that belonged to these half-brothers and sisters that he had built up with great difficulty.

"Your Highnesses, princesses, slaves, you can be regarded as having found you."

But I saw that the person who came was wearing a royal blue palace costume, and his hand was dusty. It looks like he should have been in a hurry to run along the way, and he was talking at this time, and he was a little out of breath.

This palace person, why don't they recognize it?

"It's a palace person, what's the matter, you might as well say it slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"Yes, it's not in a hurry." But when he saw that the monk Kai and the others finally eased up, he brushed the dust in his hand, and put on a dog-legged and flattering smile to everyone without any sense of disobedience, and said: "The emperor said that this celebration banquet is about to start, but he can't see your highnesses and princesses in the main hall of the banquet, so he ordered the slaves and maids to come out to find them." Coincidentally, I asked many girls and other palace people along the way, and the slave was able to find here. ”

"In that case, there will be Father-in-law Lao, who will take me and others."

"Princess Le'an, where is this, this is what a slave should do. Please—"
