"No, why are there so many people missing?"

Suddenly!

Second Uncle Xiang Kuo noticed!

The number of people in the Xiangfu nursing home doesn't seem to be right.

Xiang Yan turned her head to look at Xiang Kuo, gave a thumbs up and said:

"Haha, second uncle, you can see that the number of people is not enough, and it is much stronger than my father!"

"If the second uncle didn't say it, my father might not have found out until now."

Truly.

Xiang Guozhong patronized his son and returned.

Rejoice in that!

I didn't realize it at all, there were 100 less nurses!

Forthwith.

The five members of the Xiang family all looked at Xiang Yan in unison.

They didn't know that Xiang Yan had sent a hundred guards to help the Yanmen Pass garrison transport grain.

Xiang Yan said proudly:

"The military department has already issued a document to give me a total of 900,000 quintals of old grain."

"What? 900,000 quintals! ”

Even Xiang Guozhong, who had seen the world, was taken aback at this time.

"A military order from the Duke of Qin personally?"

Xiang Guozhong asked tentatively.

Xiang Yan then told everything that happened, no matter how big or small, one by one.

"Anyway, this deal was probably reached, arranging vegetable greenhouses for other military camps."

"It's like no condition at all!"

"Actually, even if I don't say it, I will slowly popularize the vegetable greenhouse."

Xiang Guozhong was greatly relieved and patted Xiang Yan on the shoulder.

"Very good, worthy of being my son, for the country and the people, dedicate his strength."

"There is a saying: learn from literature and martial arts, and goods are in the emperor's house."

At this time, Xiang Yuyao said magnificently:

"Today is a good day, the stone is back, the Yuxianglou has set up a banquet, let's not get drunk and not return!"

The location of the Imperial Fragrance Building.

It is located next to Suzaku Street on the straight road of Suzaku Gate!

The Xiang family and his party.

Nature in the best location of the Royal Fragrance Building.

You can just see Suzaku Avenue below!

Suddenly!

There was a commotion on the street, and I saw that a large number of people ran over to watch.

"What's going on at the gates?"

With the psychology that watching the excitement is not a big deal, Xiang Yan stood up and leaned on the fence to look at the scene below.

Xiang Guozhong as the right minister!

Of course, he can be one step ahead of others and know the secrets that are difficult for ordinary people to know.

"Look at the current time, if you guess correctly, it is Guo Ziyi's eldest son, Guo Qi's class teacher has returned to the dynasty."

"Or rather, come back and confess!"

Xiang Yan smiled slightly after hearing this.

"What's the matter, I'm right, just that group of old soldiers, I don't believe that Guo Qi can turn decay into magic."

Xiang Guozhong remembered Xiang Yan's analysis in the carriage that day, and marveled at Xiang Yan's clever calculation.

Just between the words of a few people!

Guo Qi, who was leading the war horse and was embarrassed, broke into Xiang Yan's sight.

Last time I saw Guo Qi.

It was still at the court meeting before the Yanmen Pass in the north.

At that time, Guo Qi was in high spirits, and his armor was cold and bright.

Guo Qi, who now entered Xiang Yan's sight, looked depressed, and his battle armor was covered with knife marks, and some places were tattered.

See this scene.

The people in the city, who did not know the cause and effect, let out bursts of exclamations.

Some people even think.

Guo Qi lost the glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty's victorious division, and pointed at Guo Qi and pointed at him.

"Isn't this General Guo's eldest son?"

"A few years ago, I heard that he went to quell the bandits by holy order, and he brought five hundred royal divisions, and I heard that the local government soldiers were all obeying his dispatch."

"Why haven't I fought a bandit here, I really don't know what to eat."

"Bah, it's also the house of Zhong Ming Ding Food, in my opinion, it's simply a corpse vegetarian meal."

Guo Qi did not refute these accusations.

He just walked with his head down and his hammer down.

If only it were before the expedition!

Whoever dares to treat Guo Qi like this is simply a good death.

Guo Qi was followed by several pro-soldiers, who were not under the jurisdiction of the military department, and only obeyed the orders of his own commander.

Originally, according to Guo Qi's military position, he could have twenty personal soldiers.

But now he is still following behind Guo Qi.

There were only a handful of people left.

As you can imagine, the rest has already been lost.

According to the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the generals who were in the military affairs returned to Beijing to report on their work, and the troops they led were to be stationed ten miles away from the imperial capital.

You are not allowed to approach the Imperial Capital without a holy decree.

This is both to avoid suspicion.

It is also to show surrender to the Son of Heaven!

Guo Qi only brought a few personal soldiers into the city.

First of all, I have to report to the military department of the six departments, and then at the court meeting tomorrow, I will routinely face the saint.

When Guo Qi walked to the bottom of the Yuxiang Tower, Xiang Yan leaned against the railing, he held a glass of wine, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Yo, this isn't Guo Qi, it's triumphant, it looks like your battle is not easy."

"Would you like to come up and have a drink? I'm here to pick you up. ”

Guo Qi ignored Xiang Yan.

It's just that the hand holding the reins is pinched harder, and the joints are white.

Xiang Guozhong also came over, looked at Guo Qi's back and sneered:

"This is enough to relieve anger, Guo Ziyi's old horseman is going to hold his tail again."

……

At the next day's meeting.

After the regular court meeting, the secretary of the military department came out and said to Zhao Longji:

"Your Majesty, General Guo is back from suppressing bandits."

Zhao Longji was originally going to commend Xiang Yan at the court meeting, but as for Guo Qi's affairs, of course Zhao Longji knew something.

With so many soldiers and horses.

actually failed to suppress the bandits, and even he Guo Qi himself almost died at the hands of the mountain bandits.

Zhao Longji was angry when he thought about it.

"See you."

Guo Ziyi's face was bitter.

He thought of what Guo Qi mentioned in the letter he sent back.

The soldiers of the left battalion are all a group of soldiers, and they have long been hollowed out by wine.

One by one, they have no combat power, and they can't work hard.

If it weren't for Guo Qi's pro-soldier combat strength, plus the government soldiers who could still be used.

Then this zhang can't fight at all!

Guo Ziyi was simply aggrieved in her heart, thinking that even if she played, she would not be able to win.

However, it cannot be said that it was the strength of the left battalion that was too overwhelmed to be used, which was the reason for the failure of this battle.

That's it!

It's equivalent to slapping Zhao Longji in the face!

The soldiers at the feet of the Son of Heaven are so useless.

So he Guo Ziyi was wronged, but he was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't speak of his suffering.

can only look forward to Zhao Longji, to be able to look at his old face, don't be too embarrassed Guo Qi.

Guo Qi enters the palace!

As a loser, he knows how difficult his situation is today.

With two dark circles under his eyes, Guo Qi's face was withered.

"The guilty minister greets Your Majesty."

Finished!

He fell to his knees, and fell to the ground.

Zhao Longji looked at Guo Qi's appearance and suddenly became furious.

"Is that how you disgraced me?"

"As an official of the imperial court, he can't even help the grass bandits."

"He also made himself look like a person who is not a human being, a ghost or a ghost."

Guo Qi has always kept Guo Ziyi's words in mind:

It must not be said that it is the problem of Zuo Daying, and it is determined that it is because the bandits are too powerful.

Bandits take advantage of the terrain!

There is also collusion with local mountain people!

That's why it's so difficult to quell the bandits!
