In the early morning, Gao Xianzhi and the overseer Bian Lingcheng stood in front of the abandoned post station on the post road, and the lieutenant envoy and judge Wang Tingfang prepared to go on the road with their earnest entrustment with a letter, because it was the most critical part of this war to send the news back to Beijing to tell the emperor.

The emperors are happiest when they win the battle, and only when the emperor is happy, can their efforts be truly effective. Wang Tingfang is also the highest-ranking official who has always reported success. And there is a doorway here, but whoever wins the battle and goes to the court to report the emperor's victory, when he comes back, he will be promoted to the next level, which is an unwritten convention, so this is also the way Gao Xianzhi wants to take care of his own people.

Wang Tingfang and his entourage rode three fast horses on the road, and soon disappeared at the end of the post road.

The Tang army also began to prepare to set off on the road, and it was also the time to separate from the participating allies. Friendly forces played a great role in the war, especially in the kingdom of Zhiyin, even the lord of the country, Gayancong, was killed in battle, and his son Ruoshiro was wounded. As an ally of the Tang Army, of course, he will receive a greater reward.

It's just that now there is a problem, no matter how many sons Gayan has had, only the true heir of the kingdom can inherit the reward of the saint. Gao Xianzhi had to figure this out before he could return to Hexi to write a note asking for gong.

At this juncture, Gayan's eldest son Cha Loss disappeared, this matter is really weird, what happened last night that made Zha Lost Dry disappear? What's even more strange is that the Hidden Awareness Department did not mobilize the crowd to look for it, giving people the feeling that this person's disappearance is a matter of course.

Gao Xianzhi was at the juncture of victory excitement, and nothing else was important to him. Isn't there still a younger son after the disappearance of Gayan's eldest son, although he once served in the Tang army, it is reasonable to return to the clan to inherit the throne.

He summoned the Hidden Ministers to him and asked them to agree on who the heir would be. These elders no longer need to think about it, they can only be the little prince. Moreover, no matter who is in charge, they must have the support of the Anxi Protectorate, and Ruoluo is well-deserved in every aspect.

"In that case, you will wait for the saint's reward, if you lose it, the future is immeasurable."

Before leaving, Li Siye decided to say goodbye to the Ruoluo brothers and sisters, although the mood and occasion were not quite right, but it was necessary.

He walked into the shed at the foot of the mountain, where his sister Aranda was feeding her brother medicine with a short wooden medicine bowl, and when she saw Li Siye enter the door, the wooden spoon in her hand stopped for a moment, and then continued to feed, as if she didn't see him.

Ruo Lost coughed and choked the medicine out of his mouth, and Aranda hurriedly wiped the liquid from the corner of his brother's mouth with a sackcloth. Ruo Luo shook his head, and his sister had no choice but to put down the medicine bowl.

"I'm going to follow the army back to Shule soon, so I'm going to come and see you."

Ruo Luo replied softly: "Thank you, Envoy Li." Thank you, thank you. ”

Li Siye understood what he meant by saying thank you twice, so he just pursed his lips and said with a smile: "You don't have to thank me, this is your father's last wish." ”

Ruoluo hesitated for a while, and suddenly asked him: "Check if the loss has been ......?"

Heiye didn't know how to answer him, and was silent for a moment in front of the two.

Aranda burst into tears and stood in a corner of the shed with her mouth covered. Ruo Luo squirmed the corners of his mouth for a moment before he slowly spoke: "I have followed you since the beginning of the Green Ridge Guard, and I have always thought that I can continue to do it under your command, I don't know what you will think, what happened last night, I am willing to treat it as if I did it, I am also very grateful to you, I am really grateful to you." ”

"If you lose it, you, you don't have to think like that...... Get well soon. ”

Yan Xiaosi stood at the door of the shed and reminded, "General, the team is about to leave." ”

Li Siye nodded, and said to Aranda who was standing in the corner: "Aranda, your father asked me to take care of you before he died, would you like to go back to Shule with me?" ”

Aranda shook her head stubbornly: "No, I want to stay in the Hidden Division, and I just want to stay in Green Ridge." ”

"Okay, when you change your mind, come to Shule Town to find me. Goodbye. ”

Li Siye turned around and walked out of the shed, Yan Xiaosi brought the black fat over, he turned over and waved the horsewhip to whip the horse's buttocks, and ran in the direction of the team.

Ruo Luo turned his head, looked at his sister who was crying in the corner and asked, "I remember that when he was guarding the Green Ridge, you wanted to marry him, why do you want to refuse now." ”

Aranda crouched on the ground and cried, shaking her head incessantly.

……

At the end of September, the Tang army returned to the Green Ridge to defend and capture, leaving a small number of captured cattle and sheep in the city in recognition of the logistical support of the Green Ridge Garrison for the expeditionary force.

At the beginning of October, the Tang army went to Shule Town for rest, and the Shule army returned to the state cities, and Gao Xianzhi took the initiative to divide the captured cattle and sheep herdsmen into five equal parts, and let some of them stay in the Gobi pasture east of Shule to settle.

Li Siye thought that his expedition to Shule City would be over, and he would just sit at home and wait for the imperial court to reward him. Who knew that Gao Xianzhi asked him to go to Hexi together, because the envoy of the camp had to return the rune to Meng Lingcha, the envoy of the festival, in order to complete the handover.

"Don't forget that you are not only the envoy of Shule Town, but also the deputy capital of Anxi, so you must also go together."

Li Siye also felt regretful, thinking that he could accompany his wife at home.

Gao Xianzhi seemed to see through his thoughts, and snorted and said, "Look at the appearance of your lover." ”

"If a man does not love his family, all his struggles and struggles will lose half of their meaning."

"I love to hear this, you can rest assured, the troops will stay in Shule Town for five or six days before leaving, giving you and your lady enough time to keep warm."

"Thank you, Ambassador Gao. Ha ha. ”

Gao Xianzhi set up camp in the Shule Governor's Mansion, and the local officials and businessmen in Shule kept coming and going, walking the relationship and the relationship, and everyone could predict who the future master of the four towns of Anxi was. The gifts given by these people, Gao Xianzhi also did not refuse, which made Li Siye can't help but sigh that no one is perfect, it seems that this kind of person can't be a clean official.

Li Siye came out of the camp and led Ma and Yan Xiaosi to the town guard embassy, but one person followed behind him and crossed his hand at him: "Li Duhu, the lowly Kang Huaishun is polite." ”

Yo, this guy is obsessed with coming to collect debts so soon.

He pretended not to know, turned his head and asked, "Kang Huaishun, what is the matter with you saluting me?" ”

"Of course there is something, Li Duhu forgot? The night we were in Lianyunbao, you promised me? He stretched out his hand and pointed to his face, for fear that Li Siye would repay the debt.

"What did I promise you?"

Kang Huaishun showed disappointment, and an expression was really like this: "Li Duhu, honesty is the foundation, an official like you should be more trustworthy, if you lose your trust with me today, you may lose your trust in the world in the future." ”

"Gotta get it," Li Siye raised his hand to stop him from talking: "I just returned to Shule City, I haven't gone home yet, do you know that my lady is waiting for me outside the gate of the mansion, and you follow my ass like a debt collector, will you pick a suitable time to beg me again?" ”

Kang Huaishun hurriedly bowed down to apologize: "General Li can't help it, I know that Mrs. wants to wear it, and I also want to wear it to Daorou, please forgive the general, I will come tomorrow, no, and ask to see the general the day after tomorrow." ”

He crossed his hands and took a few steps back, just as he was about to turn and leave.

Li Siye raised his hand to stop him and said, "Hey, forget it, I see that you don't want to wait, so I'll give you a good day and follow me to my mansion." But I'm telling you up front, this is the only chance you have to pack up and bring out the best in yourself. ”

Kang Huaishun grinned: "Thank you Li Duhu for your concern, I just entered the city this morning, and I took a half-day leave to General Gao, and I went to the perfume shop in the city to take a bath, and I went to the women's red shop to buy incense, and I was completely ready." ”

Li Siye looked him up and down carefully, only to find that he was brand new from head to toe, the black gauze was clean and clean, the wrapped hairline was black and shiny, and his hair was still wet. The patches on the crimson robe are all patched with a red background, and you can't tell if you don't look closely at it that it's old. Especially the black hexagram boots, the linen strip on the edge of the sole is white. This outfit and the fragrance emanating from the body, as soon as it is compared with the gray-faced pedestrians in this desert border city, the effect is completely out.

Even the groom on the wedding day of the rich and noble families in this city did not have such novelty and refinement as him.

Li Siye sighed sincerely: "It's really humble. ”

"Li Duhu, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, let's go."
