I have seen the shadow of the capital, and the group is full of speed, they are all soldiers who have not returned to Beijing for several years, and they can't help but feel a little timid.

Su Jingyuan suddenly reined in his war horse and looked ahead vigilantly, and the others also stopped.

"Who?" He frowned and looked into the distance.

The next moment, a team of more than 20 people, dressed in uniform black crane robes and wearing brocade knives at their waists, rode war horses and appeared like ghosts, firmly surrounding Su Jingyuan.

"The crane robe is a splendid sword, and the face is handsome...... You are the Crane Control Division that Princess Yongning has just established," Su Jingyuan obviously also knew something about the Crane Control Division, and said coldly, "Why, the princess wants to prevent Ben Hou from returning to Beijing?"

Not many people know about his return to Beijing, but if Princess Yongning, who is in charge of the Yulin Army and the Crane Control Division, pays attention to his movements, it doesn't mean that she finds out some rumors.

Ding Chen Zhu, the Fan Mansion family who died outside the bamboo forest before, may have already been noticed, if Princess Yongning realized that Fan Mansion had something to do with him, it was possible to deliberately stop herself here.

"Second uncle, it's me."

A familiar voice came.

Su Bai, who was also wearing a black crane robe, rode a horse from behind the others, his deep peach blossom eyes with a light and bright smile, and on his waist, he was pinned with a waist tag belonging to the Crane Control Division.

"Xiaobai?" Su Jingyuan's face was slightly gloomy, "Why are you here?"

Su Bai said with a smile: "My nephew was recommended by Lord Gu, and now he is serving in the Crane Control Division, and he obeys the orders of the princess."

"Gu Chengqian, no wonder."

"And me." Another muffled voice rang out.

"I've seen the Marquis of Sekinai." Su Xuan, who was wearing a dark hall black armor, rode out on Su Bai's side, his expression as calm and restrained as ever.

Su Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, over the years, Su Bai had been a personal soldier with him in the army, at least he could see each other often, but only half a year ago, he planned to sneak attack the barbarian tribe, and he didn't want Su Bai to participate in this matter, so he deliberately let him return to Beijing.

But Su Xuan, he hasn't seen him for too long.

Su Jingyuan looked at the young man's solemn and tough face, his eyes were slightly moist, as if he saw his brother Su Jingqing in his memory standing in front of him.

"Like your father." His voice choked and he could only utter four words.

The last time I saw Su Xuan, he was still a child, but now he has given birth to a powerful man, which is very similar to Su Jingqing.

"Second uncle, what about me?" Su Bai asked curiously, "Am I like my mother?"

After Su Jingqing died in battle, not long after the news reached the capital, his wife also left, leaving only two children, which were entrusted to his younger brother Su Jingyuan.

"Your eyes are like big brothers, but the others are like the previous ......" Su Jingyuan took a deep breath and said softly.

Su Bai is just like him before.

Su Jingyuan looked around at the two of them and the Crane Division, and asked, "Could it be that Princess Yongning is murderous and has to let the two of you prevent Benhou from returning to Beijing?" Or is it that His Majesty sent you?"

Could it be that the emperor already knows everything?

His expression became heavier and heavier, and he silently clenched his fists, and slowly released them.

It's better to know......

Su Xuan's eyes flashed with some doubts, and he replied, "It is true that Your Majesty sent me, and Your Majesty specially called me to come after learning that Su Bai was ordered by the princess to wait for the second uncle here, but he did not tell the reason."

Su Bai's eyes lit up, and he was finally able to win his eldest brother, and immediately said, "I know!"

"You know?"

"The princess sent me here for the sole purpose of asking me to stay with my second uncle for a while, she is really the best and kindest princess in the world." Su Bai's smile was harmless, his peach blossom eyes were bright and bright, and Chu Yi's appearance appeared in front of him.

Su Jingyuan and Su Xuan were stunned, only to hear Su Bai gush:

"The princess said, the second uncle has not returned to Beijing for many years, as soon as he returns to Beijing, I, the junior, should accompany the second uncle to take a stroll, let the second uncle see how prosperous and lively the capital is now, how the people live and work in peace and contentment, and also, second uncle, you don't know yet, a few days ago, Your Majesty ordered the curfew to be canceled because you won the battle with Your Highness!

Now every night in Changle Fang

There will be fireworks on the side, but it's beautiful! Alas, if the second uncle had come back a month earlier, he would still have been able to see the fireworks bloom all night in the capital before that......

Also, let's pretend to go into the city later, and don't let others know that you're back, Second Uncle, or there will be a curfew, and I'll have to lose a lot of fun."

"Princess, that's all you say?"

Without waiting for Su Jingyuan to ask, Su Xuan asked first.

Su Bai snorted, "Otherwise? What did Your Majesty tell you to do?"

Su Xuan said helplessly, "Your Majesty asked me to obey the princess's orders, and he said that what the princess commanded you was what she commanded me."

"Okay, I'm going to invite the second uncle to eat the sugar cake on East Third Street, the sugar cake there is very delicious, and people won't sell it later, and I'll take the second uncle shopping, so I'll ask the eldest brother to line up to buy the sugar cake." Su Bai said unceremoniously.

Su Xuan: "......"

Sugar cake ......

Su Jingyuan looked at the two, his Adam's apple rolled, and his closed eyes slowly opened again.

"It turns out that Her Royal Highness already knows the decision I made." He muttered under his breath.

When Su Bai heard his words, he asked curiously, "What decision did Second Uncle make?"

"The generals obey orders." Su Jingyuan looked back at the exhausted soldiers who rushed back to Beijing with him all the way, and suddenly his expression was solemn, and his voice was quiet.

"General, please command!"

More than a dozen soldiers of the Dingyuan Army looked at him together, and the black armor on his body let out a clanging sound.

Su Bai looked at it seriously and nodded secretly.

Now that the Yulin Army has been trained by him and Captain Rong, it is very different from before, and he can even say that the combat effectiveness of the Yulin Army has surpassed that of the Gyeonggi battalion led by Cen Zijing.

But if compared with these Dingyuan army soldiers, it is far inferior.

This cannot be compensated for with money and sweat, it can only be forged with the blood of the battlefield.

However, he was confident that as long as the Yulin Army was given a chance to train, they would not lose to any army.

Su Jingyuan's gaze looked at their faces one by one, and slowly spoke:

"Benhou has an order, after returning to Beijing, everyone will immediately return home, if the parents are still alive, accompany the parents for three days, and if the wife and children are still there, accompany the wife and children for three days, and if the relatives are there, accompany them for the New Year.

If they are all gone, the treasurer of Kangrui Restaurant is Ben Hou's old friend, and you will report Ben Hou's name to prove that you are the Dingyuan Army, and you can eat and drink at will for three days, and you can also go there to eat on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve next month."

"General, we're all home, what about you?" The subordinates looked at each other and hurriedly asked.

Su Jingyuan looked at Su Bai and Su Xuan and said:

"The biggest regret in the world is that the son wants to raise but does not treat the family, everyone has not returned to Beijing for many years, and we must cherish the people in front of us. Ben will naturally reunite with his family."

"My subordinates obey orders, so after Chinese New Year's Eve, what should I wait?"

"Go to the Yulin Army," Su Jingyuan said, "Then, follow Su Bai's orders."

The subordinates were surprised, they were absolutely loyal to Su Jingqing's personal soldiers, and they were even ready to follow Su Jingyuan on the way back to Beijing in a hurry...... Preparations for rebellion, but I didn't expect to get only such an order.

However, looking at the tired and serious expression of their own general, they did not dare to show objections and nodded silently.

Anyway, Su Bai Gongzi is also a member of the Su family, and the general can't harm them.

After Su Jingyuan finished ordering these soldiers, he looked at Su Bai, his cold and serious face, and showed a smile for the first time.

Because he hadn't smiled for too long, his smile was a little stiff.

"When you go back, tell Princess Yongning that Benhou is grateful to her."

Su Bai didn't know why, but still nodded: "Okay, thank her for what?"

"She'll understand."

Su Jingyuan raised his head and looked at Shangjing City in the distance, his eyes were far and deep:

"The eldest husband fought on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud, all he wants is the peace of the people and the prosperity of the country, let's go, didn't the princess let you accompany Ben Hou to see the capital, Ben Hou really wants to see what the place Ben Hou guards is like now."

Su Xuan and Su Bai followed him left and right, the former feeling a little bit of mountain rain coming, and the latter kept talking.

"Drunken Immortal Residence and Changle Fang, where the wine is the best......

"Yes, you've only been back in Beijing for half a year, and you know a lot."

「……」

"I heard that in the past six months, Princess Yongning has done many feats, you can tell me about it."

"That's nature, princess, she'......"

The group entered the capital like this, and after entering the city, the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army returned home, and the people who controlled the crane division also hid in the crowd.

Only the three uncles and nephews changed into civilian clothes and wandered around the streets at will, and Su Bai kept introducing everything around Su Jingyuan.

Su Jingyuan looked at the bustling and lively street, recalling nineteen years ago, when he was a teenager.

If he were still the same as before, if everything that came after had not happened, how good it would be.

He'd rather give up everything he has now.

"Ah Yuan, you know, this Fan Qian's sister Fan Qiongran once had a relationship with her brother, and now she has discussed with the prince, it is really inconvenient for her brother to go to Fan Qian's appointment, this Fan family's Hongmen banquet, let you go."

In my memory, the handsome young man unceremoniously stuffed an invitation into his arms, obviously giving birth to a pair of frivolous peach eyes, but the young man smiled gently and calmly.

"My brother knows that it is the Hongmen Banquet and wants me to go, and I also asked Miss Zhao from the Drunken Immortal Residence to drink and chant poetry, if I don't go, I won't go." The young man Su Jingyuan refused unhappily.

He was wearing a loose brocade robe, his skin was fair, his appearance was delicate and handsome, his black eyes were sharp and clear, and he was a little more flamboyant and graceful than the young man next to him.

"Just what you are doing, you don't study well all day, your father and mother died early, and my brother will teach you a good lesson for my father today, so as not to lose the face of the Su family again......" The young man said, rolling up his sleeves.

"Okay, okay, I'll just go, isn't it Fan Qiongran, I have to compare, Fan Qiongran, the first beauty in the capital, who is better looking compared with Sister Gu, the princess of Chu." The young man hurriedly said goodbye and put the invitation away.

Only then was the young man satisfied: "Of course the princess is better-looking, you are ready to prepare, for my brother is going to buy sugar cakes for your sister-in-law, she likes to eat sugar cakes from East Third Street the most, if you go late, people will not sell them."

"You, you know your sister-in-law's sugar cake—" The young man Su Jingyuan raised his finger angrily.

"What am I? After the prince and Fan Qiongran get married next month, my brother will go to Beifu with the prince, and I don't know how many years before I come back, I can't accompany your sister-in-law and Xiaoxuan Xiaobai for a few more days?"

The young man patted him on the shoulder and walked away proudly.

The emperor has decreed that he will marry Fan Qiongran, the eldest lady of the Fan family, to Chu Tingxiao, the king of Chu, as a side concubine, and choose the auspicious day of the eighth day of the next month to marry into the palace.

After waiting for this matter, the king of Chu will replace the eldest prince who died in Beifu a year ago, and go to quell the barbarian rebellion in Jianmen Pass with Su Jingqing, the eldest son of the Jiangmen Su family, that is, the eldest brother in front of him who is very unhappy.

The king of Chu has a good relationship with the eldest brother, and he has gone on several expeditions before, and I heard that the king of Chu has also saved the life of the eldest brother.

However, these have nothing to do with him, the second son of the Su family, he just wants to live a chic life and be his own merry son.

Anyway, the eldest brother took on everything, he didn't want the official position of the Su family, and he gave up the reputation of the Su family to the eldest brother.

"Get out of here." The young man drove Su Jingqing away.

The next day, Su Jingyuan sullenly took the invitation and went to the spring poetry meeting held by Fan Qian, the eldest son of Fan Mansion, to attend a banquet.

The music of the water is flowing and the sound of the piano is curling, but he has no intention of appreciating these, hiding in the corner and drinking alone, and his mind is still the flower and moon appearance of the drunken immortal residence Oiran Zhao girl.

The young man's heart was so simple, at that time, Su Jingyuan was even thinking that if he redeemed himself for Miss Zhao, and then entered the gate of the Su family for the concubine, I don't know if the eldest brother agrees.

It should be possible, right? Anyway, their Su family is a general, and Miss Zhao is indeed a good girl.

Well, he'll ask when he gets back.

While he was in a state of his thoughts, a maid appeared and asked, "Your Excellency

The son of the Su family?"

Su Jingyuan nodded: "Are you?"

"My young lady has something to discuss with you, so I invite you to come."

He suddenly remembered what his eldest brother Su Jingqing said yesterday: I have a relationship with Fan Qian's sister Fan Qiongran, and I can't help but be a little interested, and I followed the maid to the back house of Fan's mansion.

The sister-in-law is so good, the eldest brother won't do anything to be sorry for her, right?

If the eldest brother really has any entanglement with Fan Qiongran, the quasi-side princess, it is better to break it off as soon as possible, so as not to involve the Su family.

Su Jingyuan thought about it, and suddenly found that there was no maid around, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, and he was a little strange.

"Jingqing, can you come in? Qiong Ran has something to say."

The door in front of me was closed, and a soft voice came.

Jingqing?

Qiongran?

This eldest lady of the Fan family, think he is the eldest brother? Could it be that she really wants to destroy the relationship between her eldest brother and sister-in-law?

Su Jingyuan frowned, pushed the door in, and said coldly, "Miss Fan is mistaken, I am Su Jingyuan, the second son of the Su family, and Su Jingqing is my brother."

Sitting on the chair was a beautiful woman in a blue dress, looking at the door with teary eyes.

After seeing his face clearly, a hint of discoloration flashed in the beauty's eyes, and immediately, tears rolled down.

"It turned out to be the second son...... I didn't expect Su Jingqing to refuse to even see me."

She wept and said, wiping her red and swollen eyes with an embroidered handkerchief.

"My brother has already married a wife and had children, and Miss Fan has also been given marriage by the emperor, and she is about to marry the prince of Chu, the prince of Chu is noble and noble, and she is also a talent, is Miss Fan still not satisfied with such a marriage?" Su Jingyuan asked casually.
