Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Gift of Honor

Chu Fan was a little confused after hearing this, so he wanted to ask Li Hao, but Li Hao waved his hand to stop him.

"When the time comes, Lone will naturally have some arrangements, and Andinghou only needs to do what he does, and don't worry about the rest."

Based on his trust in Li Hao, Chu Fan bowed down, and after exchanging some military and political affairs, he took his leave and left.

The next day, Li Hao announced his decision in public, officially handed over power to Chu Fan, and let local officials listen to his orders.

In front of Li Hao, even disgruntled people, such as Zheng Zhuo, who was looking on his face, did not dare to question it in person.

After the transfer of power, Li Hao stayed in Qidu for a few more days, and after helping Chu Fan stabilize the situation, he officially embarked on the road back.

This time, in addition to Li Hao's attaché, there are also those captives of the royal family and nobles of the Qi State, who will also be brought back to the capital to offer prisoners.

In addition, Ren Xin, who wants to return to the state, is also in the team, and will follow the team to leave the land of the original Qi country, and only go north to Hezhou after arriving in Fengcheng.

And the closer to Fengcheng, the worse Ren Xin's mood became, Li Hao smiled when he saw this: "I won't stay in the capital for long this time, since you don't want to go, then wait for me in Hezhou, it just so happens that I should also go to see Niangniang."

Hearing Li Hao's words, Ren Xin, who was still a little gloomy, immediately changed his mood.

It's just that he refuses to admit defeat: "Who is waiting for you, I am there to accompany Niangniang, what does it have to do with you!"

Fortunately, unlike the toughness in his mouth, he softened in his actions, and reverted to his original treatment.

It's just that it didn't take long for the team to arrive in Fengcheng and stop here for a few days.

The external reason is to rest the team, but in fact, it is Li Hao's fake public and private tour of Fengcheng.

After all, I patronized the war before, and I really didn't appreciate it.

As for the entourage, there were only a few simple people, and it was barely Li Hao who accompanied Ren Xin alone, and Ren Xin was not used to it at first, after all, she had never had this kind of experience before.

It's a pity that when Ren Xin began to get used to it, it was time to end the rest, and the night before Li Hao was about to leave, Li Hao deliberately separated Chen Xidu, leaving Ren Xin alone in the house.

Li Hao took out a painting scroll from the cabinet and brought it to Ren Xin, but before he could speak, he was preempted by Ren Xin: "You want to give me a painting, I don't have a hobby of vassal elegance."

Li Hao smiled, "Yes, but I think I'll definitely like this painting, or you should take a look first."

As he spoke, Li Hao took away the rope that tied the painting scroll, and shook the painting scroll upward, and the whole painting was spread out on the table.

Ren Xin stepped forward to see that this painting was a picture of a garden beauty, in which the garden scenery, clothing texture, appearance and complexion were lifelike, and it was Ren Xin himself.

couldn't help but exclaim, and said, "Isn't this the scene of the Shen family's garden that day? Who did you ask for this painting?"

Li Hao smiled: "Why are you looking for someone, don't you know that the person in front of you is a top painter?

I had been thinking about what I was going to give you before I left, but I found that ordinary things were really cheesy, so I simply drew this beautiful picture according to the scene in my impression.

Well, I said you'd love it, right?"

Looking at Li Hao's demeanor, Ren Xin rarely refuted.

It's just that she really couldn't say any sensational words, and she was silent for a long time, and only popped out a few words: "I like it very much."

After saying that, he rolled up the scroll, took it and ran straight away.

Originally, Li Hao only thought she was shy, but when she went to look for her again in the evening, Ren Xin's guest room was already empty.

It was Chen Xi who found a note on the table, which read: "I'm going to the state, I'm waiting for you there."

Li Hao couldn't help but smile when he saw it, and put the note away.

Then he commanded, "Tell me to go down, and we will leave tomorrow, and we will return to the capital as soon as possible."

With Li Hao's order, the team's footsteps increased rapidly,

This is a pain for those arrogance and noble nobles of the Qi Kingdom.

When they arrived in the capital of Suzhou, except for the royal family members who were given special preferential treatment in the car, the others were all shaped like trees.

Therefore, in order to make the scene look better, Li Hao had to stay in the post station and send someone back to the capital to report the situation.

After getting the news, the Ministry of Rites specially sent someone to contact and arrange the follow-up Taimiao prisoner sacrifice and celebration ceremony.

After all, this time he has achieved the achievement of destroying the country and capturing the lord, which has not been done by the previous emperors of the Su Kingdom.

If it weren't for Cui Ming's intention to reduce Li Hao's prestige, I am afraid that at least he would personally lead hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city for thirty miles to greet him.

But even so, this time the arrangement is no worse than the last time when he returned from a big victory.

The people of the capital gathered on the roadside to sing triumphant songs, and Cui Ming led hundreds of officials to greet them outside the city gate.

It was only later that Cui Ming rewarded the soldiers in public, and arranged for them to return to the camp to rest.

Let the forbidden army in the city take over the team and escort a group of captives to Taimiao to offer prisoners.

As for Li Hao himself, this time he didn't get mixed up with the treatment of sharing a chariot with Cui Ming, but was arranged to open the way in front of the jade chariot.

In addition, Li Hao, who should not have appeared on the reward list, also appeared this time, and there was a vague smell of clarifying the duties of the monarch and the minister.

Fortunately, Li Hao was also mentally prepared for this, and he still accompanied him through the whole process without changing his face.

This time, after eating the dinner in the palace, the palace did not say anything to keep people, so Li Hao followed the courtiers out of the palace and returned to the East Palace.

Although it was late at this time, Zhang Han still did not rest.

When he learned the news that Li Hao had arrived at the door, he immediately walked out to greet him: "The concubine congratulates His Highness on his safe return."

When Li Hao saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped Zhang Han up: "Between our husband and wife, you don't have to pay attention to this, it's cold this night, don't let yourself be cold, get up quickly."

Then Li Hao first pulled Zhang Han into the house and sat down, and then said, "Lonely has not returned for a long time, you have to take care of the affairs of the East Palace, and you have to do your filial piety for Lonely, which is really hard."

Zhang Han replied: "This is what a concubine should do, and besides, everything in the capital is going well, and it is not as dangerous as His Highness on the battlefield, where can he dare to call it hard."

Li Hao said: "There is no danger of the battlefield when you have to fight openly and secretly in the house, especially when you are in the royal family.

Speaking of which, when I saw you this time, I felt that you had lost a lot of weight than before, and you must have suffered a little.

But fortunately, I'm back now, and if anyone embarrassed you before, I'll help you find a place this time."

Zhang Han is a smart person, and judging from his recent encounter in the palace, he has long guessed the fact that Li Hao is suspicious.

didn't want to cause trouble for Li Hao at this time, so he immediately persuaded him: "Your Highness is serious, I really haven't suffered any grievances, it's just that my appetite is a little bad."
