ps: Today's two more, each more than 5,000 words!――

Liu Yi knew that under the gaze of everyone, this person ran over to greet him in public, and he was going to be brilliant.

In such a scene, he couldn't escape, Liu Yi had to take a step forward and respectfully salute Princess Taiping, who ran over to him despite the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes: "The last general has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Almost all the generals around Liu Yi held back a smile, and after saluting Princess Taiping, they walked forward, each with a rich expression on their faces.

"Yi'an, you have made such a great contribution to this expedition, I am really happy for you!" Princess Taiping said and smiled, her smile was very bright, and her beautiful face was a little dazzling.

"The last general is just a small achievement, and he doesn't deserve such praise from the princess!" Liu Yi said with some hatred.

However, Liu Yi saw that there seemed to be tears hanging in the corners of Princess Taiping's eyes, still shining in the reflection of the sun, and this demon girl was happy to cry when she saw her coming back, thinking of this, Liu Yi was slightly moved.

All the generals went to the front, and Princess Taiping seemed to feel that the two of them were standing like this abruptly, and hurriedly said: "Yi'an, go over quickly, when the ceremony is over and everything is settled, I will come to talk to you again, and you have to tell me everything about the expedition!"

Without waiting for Liu Yi to reply, Princess Taiping beckoned the maids behind her to leave, and crossed the generals in front of her and followed behind Wu Zetian.

Liu Yi also quickened his pace to keep up.

The emperor's imperial drive has been restarted and traveled to the city, and Pei Xingjian, as the leading commander, is also fortunate to stand on the chariot and march with the two saints.

The generals followed the emperor's guard of honor and walked slowly, and entered Chang'an City from the middle of the Mingde Gate.

Outside Chang'an City, there are cheering crowds everywhere, looking at the density of the crowd, it seems that the people in and near Chang'an City have the possibility of all coming out to see the excitement.

After entering the city from the Mingde Gate, the situation is still similar, and the wide Suzaku Street is lined with the same crowd of welcomes, shouts and noise.

Liu Yi and the generals kept bowing their hands to the cheering crowds on both sides, enjoying the feeling of being respected by thousands of people and being heroic in the cheers of the people.

At an intersection, Liu Yi unexpectedly found his mother, two elder brothers Liu Yuan and Liu Mai, and uncle Liu Yanjing, a large group was crowded in a pile, searching for something there, as soon as they saw Liu Yi coming, everyone waved their arms and shouted there, Liu Yi saw his mother, crying there while shouting, but the two brothers were very excited, desperately squeezing forward, and kept shouting Liu Yi's name there.

Liu Yi, who was riding a horse, also waved desperately to his family.

Walking closer to the place where his family was standing, Liu Yi could hear his two elder brothers calling his name, as well as his mother shouting with a cry, seeing his family like this, Liu Yi also felt warm in his heart.

Some people remember themselves, and they are really happy.

After a while, the car drove past the position where Liu Yi's family was standing and headed in the direction of Suzaku Gate.

The further forward he went, the cheers of the people became louder, and the generals who received the people's welcome were also excited.

Such a big welcome ceremony, although it is a bit too pompous, but this is also to convey a message to the soldiers and the people that the imperial court attaches great importance to military merits, and the soldiers who come back from the war will be given high honors.

Being able to see the face of the emperor, being worshiped and welcomed by the people, those who have military merits have been promoted, and there are many rewards, such honors and rewards, how can the soldiers not fight the battlefield!

From today's ceremony, Liu Yi also felt that in the future, the imperial court's attention to military equipment will gradually increase, although it may not be able to reach the same level as the Zhenguan Dynasty, but at least the phenomenon of emphasizing literature and light military force in the past few years will be changed, Liu Yi also hopes that there will be more warlike generals in the court, all foreign invasions can be repulsed, and the border passes of the Tang Dynasty will become peaceful.

It took a lot of time from the ceremony outside Chang'an to the emperor's welcoming of the generals into the city, and then to the downstairs of the Suzaku Gate.

The weather was still quite hot in early autumn, but the sun was still quite interesting today, and it took refuge in the clouds shortly after climbing into the sky, making the ceremony less hot.

After arriving at the Suzaku Gate, Emperor Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian led the ministers and the generals who had returned from the expedition to the Suzaku Gate Tower, and once again received the cheers of the people and soldiers.

At the end of the ceremony, Li Zhi announced that the triumphant army would return to the camp and rest in the camp, and the generals would return to their homes, and three days later, a grand reward would be held in the Hanyuan Palace.

Pei Xingjian and several other major generals at the general level followed the emperor into the palace, and a general of Liu Yi's level could still return to the house first.

It's a pity that Shangguan Wan'er followed Wu Zetian into the palace, and Liu Yi couldn't say hello to this beauty.

After Liu Yi left the palace, he also went out of the city immediately, settled the part he led, and then returned to the house with his personal guards.

Liu Yi returned to the mansion with his guards in the evening.

At the gate of the house, the housekeeper Liu Nian and many domestic servants were looking forward to it, and as soon as they saw Liu Yi and his party coming back to the house, someone immediately ran into the house to report, and a large group of domestic servants came up to greet them.

Liu Yi also greeted the servants with a smile, just jumped off the horse, and before he entered the mansion, the eldest brother Liu Mai and Liu Yuan trotted all the way out of the mansion.

"Big brother, second brother..."Seeing the two elder brothers, Liu Yi also felt very cordial, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Liu Mai and Liu Yuan rushed over without returning the salute, holding Liu Yi's shoulders one by one, and pulling Liu Yi into the house, Liu Mai also complained and said: "Third brother, you are only coming back now, the two of us have been waiting for you at the door of the mansion for a long time, and even my mother has been waiting at the door, just went in to rest for a while, I didn't expect you to come back!"

Before Liu Yi could reply, his mother's voice had already come from afar, "San Lang, you're back..."

With the voice, the mother Zhang, supported by several maids, walked over quickly, and there were two sisters-in-law behind her.

"Mother, the child is coming home," Liu Yi broke free from the hands held by the two elder brothers, took a big step forward, took off his helmet, knelt on one knee, and respectfully saluted his mother, and a warm current surged up in his heart.

"Saburo, hurry up... Get up, just come back, just come back... Mother, and your two brothers, but I am thinking about you every day, remembering you, afraid that you will have an accident, come, let my mother see if you are thin," Zhang's eyes had big tears rolling down, and he didn't care about wiping them, he reached out to help Liu Yi up, stared at Liu Yi's face carefully, and stretched out his hand to comb Liu Yi's scattered hair, choked and said, "I've lost so much weight, it's still so dark, and people are haggard like this, at first glance, I can't recognize it..."

Seeing Wang crying, Liu Mai and Liu Yuan's wife, who were standing behind her, also shed tears together.

"Mother, it's okay, it's okay to be outside for such a long time, the wind is blowing and the sun is blowing, and it is always inevitable to get darker and thinner!" Liu Yi handed the hat and helmet in his hand to Liu Nian, the housekeeper who was also wiping tears beside him, straightened up again, and turned around twice, "Mother, eldest brother, second brother, two sisters-in-law, you see, this expedition, I didn't even have a little injury, don't worry, I have nothing to do!"

"It's okay, my mother is relieved!" Zhang came up to relieve Liu Yi of the clothes, still choked up, "I don't know how many times I have undressed your father in the past, but I didn't expect that this time it was for my son, I hope there will be no such times in the future..."

"Mother, don't be like this, didn't San Lang come back safely?" Liu Mai wiped his eyes, took the bright light armor worn by Liu Yi from his mother's hand, handed it to his subordinates, and went over to hold his mother's hand, "Mother, let's go inside and talk!"

The family stood in the courtyard in front of their subordinates, crying and crying, somewhat unorthodox.

"Hmm," Zhang wiped away the tears in his eyes with the handkerchief in his hand, nodded, and entered the front hall with the support of Liu Yi and Liu Mai.

The family banquet for Liu Yi has been set up, and it is steaming, and it is all dishes that Liu Yi likes to eat.

Liu Yi helped his mother sit down, and at the same time beckoned his brother and sister-in-law to sit down together.

In the front hall, near the door, there were also a few tables of banquets, which were sat by the guards who followed Liu Yi on the expedition.

Several of the dozens of guards who followed Liu Yi on the expedition this time were also injured, but fortunately, the injuries were not serious, and they had all recovered on the way back.

During the banquet, Zhang, who was sitting next to Liu Yi, kept pouring wine for Liu Yi's dishes, but she didn't care about eating a few bites.

"Mother, that's enough, the child can't finish eating, and it will be full in a while!" Liu Yi looked at the big bowl full of dishes in front of him, and whispered in protest.

It has been almost two years since my father died of illness in the camp of the Tibetans, and no banquet has been held in the house, which is an exception.

"Mother knows that you can't eat well when you go on the expedition, and your father used to talk about the hardships when you went on the expedition, and when you come home, you have to make up for it!" Zhang's ignored Liu Yi's protests, still put vegetables in Liu Yi's bowl, and ordered Liu Yi to eat it.

"San Lang, big brother toasts you!" Liu Mai raised his glass and toasted to Liu Yi, "Big brother has heard about your deeds a few days ago, you have made the first contribution, and made the greatest contribution in the battle to annihilate Ashid's service department, the court has issued a decree to reward you, big brother envy you, and I am happy for you!"

"Big brother, that's the opportunity given by Mr. Pei, the little brother is just lucky, he picked a few military merits!" Liu Yi got up, clinked glasses with Liu Mai, and was clean!

"Uncle, after your story came back, Da Lang and Erlang didn't know how happy they were, they were all proud of having a younger brother like you!" Liu Mai's wife, Wang, also raised a glass to Liu Yi, "You are the pride of our Liu family!"

"Thank you sister-in-law for the compliment!" Liu Yi was also busy raising his glass.

"San Lang, tell us about the expedition, and tell us all the battles you have experienced!" The second brother Liu Mai asked after toasting Liu Yi with a glass of wine.

"Okay..."Liu Yi agreed after having a drink with Liu Yuan.

Liu Yi sat down and recounted the interesting stories encountered along the way from Chang'an, and the whole process of launching a surprise attack on the Turks under Pei Xingjian's planning after arriving in Anbei.

Of course, Liu Yi led more than 2,000 soldiers to attack the camp of Asid in the middle of the night, such a risky move, Liu Yi did not elaborate, but said that together with other departments led by the generals, a large-scale offensive was launched against the large camp of the Turks, and as a result, the Turks could not resist, and most of them surrendered.

Liu Yi was afraid that his mother would be worried, 2,000 people would attack the camp of tens of thousands of people, and if something happened, he would not be able to come back, and he didn't want to stimulate his mother, who was still a little excited.

The family members also stopped their chopsticks and listened to Liu Yi tell the story of the expedition, the difficult itinerary, and the thrilling war scenes. In the back, even the other guards and servants were attracted over, and there was a big circle around the main table, and some of Liu Yi's personal guards also added some more oil and vinegar, saying that Liu Yi was an invincible general like a god.

It was almost midnight, and under Zhang's urging, on the grounds that Liu Yi had just come back and needed a good rest, the family members were dispersed, and everyone went to rest.

Liu Yi held up a well-fed stomach, with a slight drunkenness, returned to his room, took a shower, and prepared to sleep.

After relaxing physically and mentally, he did feel a little tired, Liu Yi really wanted to lie down and not get up, and slept enough.

As soon as he fell asleep, Liu Yi heard movement outside the house, and immediately got up from the couch and went to the door.

"San Lang, third brother, have you slept?" Liu Mai's suppressed shouts came from outside the door.

"Big brother!" Liu Yi opened the door, a little surprised.

Liu Mai flashed into the house quickly and closed the door with his hand, "Third brother, eldest brother can't sleep, I still want to talk to you about something!"

"Big brother go inside and talk," Liu Yi said with a smile, and turned on the lamp, "Big brother wants to hear about the little brother leading his troops to rush to the camp?" ”

"Exactly," Liu Mai nodded a little embarrassedly.

The two brothers sat down on the couch, Liu Yi looked at Liu Mai, who had a strange face, and told Liu Mai in detail about the war he remembered.

After hearing this, Liu Mai looked surprised, "The third brother is really brave, he dared to lead 2,000 men and horses to sneak attack the camp of more than 100,000 people served by Ashid, no wonder the imperial court will issue a special order to commend him..."

"Big brother, the Turks are defenseless, and I don't know how many people there are in our department, plus the fire is big, there will be chaos immediately, Asid also fled, plus the men and horses of Chief Pei Da have also followed, and the Turks have been wiped out!"

"Well, San Lang, your first battle was so unusual, and the eldest brother was even more impressed with you!" Liu Mai nodded in response, and then subconsciously looked around, approaching Liu Yi's side, "No wonder Princess Taiping will take a fancy to you!"

"Huh!?" Liu Yi exclaimed in his heart, even the eldest brother knew about this, didn't the other family members also know?

"Third brother, the eldest brother has also been in the palace for several years, and there are some familiar partners, and they told me some things," Liu Mai looked at Liu Yi, the expression on his face was very rich, "The eldest brother really didn't expect that the lawsuit Bo, who has always had no good color for people in the palace, and Princess Taiping, who has eyes above the top, will fall in love with our family's San Lang... Well, the eldest brother is so happy, you can tell the eldest brother about the specific situation, the eldest brother is worried about this matter!"

When Liu Mai spoke, he was full of pride, proud of his younger brother, this is a man's common surname, favored by those women who seem to be high and inviolable, and his heart will be very proud, Liu Mai is the same, although it is said that it is only the younger brother in his own family who is favored by others, but Liu Mai, who loves this younger brother very much, is also naturally proud of Liu Yi.

The most proud thing for a man is that one is fame, and the other is a woman, now Liu Yi's official position is not low, and if he makes military merits, he will definitely have the opportunity to be promoted, which is very proud; There are two more very outstanding, ordinary people don't want to say that they are favored, even if they are close, they rarely have a chance, such several women fell in love with Liu Yi at the same time, which made Liu Mai, who was the eldest brother, very proud.

"Big brother, this..." Liu Yi was a little embarrassed, after entering the palace, although he said that he had done a few things with good influence, he also entangled these two women. These two are not very easy to mess with women, such a hot thing, and was bragged by Liu Mai, I really don't know what it feels like, he doesn't know if his mother, and other family members know, he roughly told the situation of the two daughters at the moment, but it was just some skin, and the key things were not said, and after speaking, he asked carefully, "Big brother, does my mother know about this?" ”

After Liu Mai heard Liu Yi finish speaking, a smile appeared and he nodded vigorously, "My mother knows something, but my eldest brother didn't tell her in detail!"

"Mother, what did she say?"

"She just said, no wonder it's like this..."Liu Mai scratched his head, his mother's reaction was quite unexpected.

Liu Yi understood the meaning of his mother's words, and asked again: "What does the eldest brother think about this matter?" "The eldest son is like a father, his father has passed away, and the eldest brother Liu Mai is the head of the house, Liu Yi wants to know what the eldest brother thinks about this matter.

Hearing Liu Yi ask, Liu Mai's expression became serious, "Princess Taiping is the most beloved daughter of His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, and her love for her even exceeds that of several princes, if she can be her concubine, it is a promising thing!" However, Princess Taiping is a tigress and has become her colt, so it is not very easy, but I heard that she has changed a lot during this time, and she still listens to you, if so, it is also very good, but it is also very troublesome to become a colt... As for the lawsuit... She is just a palace maid in the palace, with a special identity, it is impossible to marry without removing the identity of the palace person, not to mention that she is still the granddaughter of Shangguan Yi, and Shangguan Yi has not been rehabilitated..."Liu Mai glanced at Liu Yi, as if he felt that it was inappropriate to say this, and immediately changed his mouth, "San Lang, if you also like her, you can ask the Queen of Heaven for instructions, and let the Queen of Heaven give her as a concubine... She is such a lowly palace maid, even if she is a palace person, at most she can only be a concubine with you, unless the queen of heaven gives her a marriage... But if you become Princess Taiping's concubine, then..."

Liu Mai stuttered a little as he spoke.

"Big brother, little brother understands!" Liu Yi subconsciously showed an instinctive smile, "It's just that eldest brother, now that my father's filial piety is not yet complete, we shouldn't talk about marriage, let's talk about these things in a year, now Princess Taiping has reached the age of marriage, and so is the lawsuit, no one knows what will happen next year..."

"What the third brother said is reasonable, the royal affairs are really not clear!" Liu Mai also nodded, and seemed to react, "Third brother, the eldest brother is clear, the eldest brother has counted, you have worked hard all the way, you are very rested, there is something to talk about tomorrow..."

Liu Mai said, patted Liu Yi on the shoulder, and went out of the house...
