"Brother Zhao, I'm much better, can I go back to town?"

Zhang Xiaochi asked.

"No, you are still very weak now, and the emperor's holy decree has not been sent yet, and when you receive the holy decree and go back, your health will be much better at that time."

"Besides, if you go back like this, my brother and sister will definitely be worried."

Zhang Xiaochi looked down at himself, although he recovered quickly, it would take some time before he healed, and the scars on his body were fine when he was dressed, but once he took off his clothes, he would all be seen.

When Lin Xiaoxi saw the scars on his body, he could definitely think of how dangerous he was when he was on a mission.

As a man, you can't give your own woman the best life, but you must not let your woman worry about being afraid.

"Okay, then I'll wait."

When the words fell, Zhang Xiaochi looked up in the direction of Jin Guo, his face became solemn, although this assassination made Jin Guo withdraw his troops, but it did not kill Hamza, Hamza did not die, for him and the people, it is a hidden danger.

Hamza had seen Zhang Xiaochi with his own eyes, and this operation directly offended him, he was a warmonger, and after recovering, he would definitely not give up.

Looking at Zhang Xiaochi's solemn face, Zhao Qiankun seemed to know something, and also looked up in the direction of Jin Guo.

"Hamza is lucky not to die, which is indeed a big hidden danger for us, but this guy is very seriously injured and cannot be healed in a short time, so we don't have to worry about Hamza's revenge for the time being."

"Moreover, if he wants to start a war, he will have to wait at least a year or so, and we are all in Da Viet Country, and it is not so easy for him to retaliate."

"Don't think about it, take care of your injuries, and strive to go back to meet your younger siblings as soon as possible."

……

Time passed, Zhang Xiaochi recuperated in the camp for another seven days, and the holy decree of the capital finally came.

There are two holy decrees, one is to reward Zhao Hongde and his son, and the other is to canonize Zhang Xiaochi.

Everyone knelt on the ground and waited for the eunuch to finish reading the holy decree, and after receiving the decree and thanksgiving, the eunuch was taken down by Zhao Hongde to be rewarded.

Zhao Qiankun took the holy decree in Zhang Xiaochi's hand, and after reading the content of the holy decree, a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiaochi, you finally got what you wanted."

"Brother Zhao, now that I have the status of a baron, what authority can I have?"

Zhang Xiaochi asked.

"Because you don't want a fief, you have almost no rights, only a noble status, plus the ability to build a mansion within your authority, and raise a few subordinates."

"Oh, by the way, you can also raise a convoy, because you are a baron of the first rank, so the number cannot exceed twenty."

"There is another year, and it is fifty taels."

"Because of the different statuses, when you see officials in the future, you don't have to bow down."

"Even, ordinary officials, when they see you, they still have to salute you."

……

Zhao Qiankun told Zhang Xiaochi all the identities of the nobles, such as the officials saluting Zhang Xiaochi, because some local officials have small official positions and no titles, in terms of identity and status, they are naturally under Zhang Xiaochi.

Of course, officials who generally go to the prefect of the county, such as the prefect, although this kind of official does not have a title, but has a large official position, so both parties do not need to give each other a big salute.

After Zhang Xiaochi learned about the baron's situation from Zhao Qiankun, he proposed to go back to the town.

"That's okay, you've recovered a lot anyway, and when your father-in-law leaves, I'll send you back to town."

The eunuch rested in the camp for a day, and before leaving, he found Zhang Xiaochi and said that the emperor wanted a bow and crossbow, Zhang Xiaochi naturally agreed, after such a long time of manufacturing, the number of bows and crossbows now has exceeded a thousand.

Zhang Xiaochi selected a well-made bow and crossbow for his father-in-law, and gave him the method of use, and his father-in-law experimented and found that it was not only powerful, but also accurate, and immediately smiled.

"With this, the miscellaneous family will have to hand over to the emperor."

After sending off the eunuch Xuanzhi, Zhang Xiaochi and Zhao Hongde said goodbye and went straight to Qingwa Town under the escort of Zhao Qiankun.

Since the last time I said goodbye, I haven't seen Lin Xiaoxi for more than a month.

Returning to Qingwa Town again, looking at the people coming and going in the town, Zhang Xiaochi had a sense of intimacy.

"When the war broke out, the number of residents in Qingwa Town was halved, and the people were scared and fled, but fortunately the war didn't last long, and when we heard the news of our victory, the people came back."

Zhang Xiaochi nodded slightly, if there were half of the people in Qingwa Town, it would be impossible for the streets to be so lively.

Sitting in the carriage, because the curtains were opened first, many residents who saw Zhang Xiaochi greeted him one after another, but most of the people were complaining, asking him what he had been there for, and why he had disappeared for so long that he couldn't eat his fried dishes.

In this regard, Zhang Xiaochi could only laugh at it.

Qingwa Town is not big, and the carriage soon came to the door of Chixi Restaurant.

At this time, there was no one at the door of the restaurant, and after entering the restaurant with Zhao Qiankun, they found that everyone was sitting lazily at the table chatting.

"Creek."

Zhang Xiaochi saw Lin Xiaoxi who was settling accounts at a glance, he hadn't seen each other for nearly two months, he seemed to have lost a lot, the whole person looked preoccupied, and his good-looking eyebrows were frowned.

A familiar voice appeared at the door, Lin Xiaoxi raised his head suddenly, looking at the man in his heart, his eyes instantly turned red.

"Husband!"

Lin Xiaoxi put down the account book and excitedly threw herself into Zhang Xiaochi's arms.

"Creek, I'm back."

Zhang Xiaochi blamed himself in his heart, Lin Xiaoxi has always been very shy, and at this time, he threw himself into his arms in front of so many people, which showed how excited he was.

"Husband, you're finally back!"

"There's been no news for so long, I'm really scared that something will happen to you!"

Lin Xiaoxi's voice was choked, and he cried even more sadly.

"Brother Zhang, in the days you left, Sister Xiaoxi didn't think about tea and food every day, and everyone lost weight."

On the side, Zhao Linger explained very seriously.

"Xiaoxi, don't cry, I'm not coming back!"

Zhang Xiaochi gently stroked Lin Xiaoxi's soft hair, feeling her much thinner body, and felt even more guilty in his heart.

"Husband, let me see you!"

Lin Xiaoxi left Zhang Xiaochi's arms and began to revolve around him, choking at the same time.

"Husband, you've lost a lot of weight too!"

"It's okay, it's healthier to be thinner."

Zhang Xiaochi stretched out his hand to wipe Lin Xiaoxi's tears away, took Lin Xiaoxi's hand, and began to greet the others in the restaurant.

"Kid, just come back!"

The second aunt wiped a handful of tears, she knew that Zhang Xiaochi was born and died, and now she can stand in front of everyone again, she is happy from the bottom of her heart.
