Xiao Ce was also subconsciously uneasy about this matter, but seeing that Li Hanning insisted on going, he didn't do much to stop it, he always respected what she wanted to do, but for her good, he made other plans, and he would know when she returned to Luoyang.

Right now, in front of the other generals in the camp, Xiao Ce just looked at Li Hanning in front of him and said simply: "Be careful on the road, don't be alone if there is anything in Luoyang, remember to pass the book to me." ”

If the matter that she couldn't solve in Luoyang was handed over to him, he almost guessed that if she really encountered any trouble in Luoyang, the trouble should come from his brother, and there would only be Xiao Sheng and him in Luoyang, and Li Hanning was the general under his command after all.

Li Hanning bowed slightly, although even if something really happened, she didn't plan to make trouble for Xiao Ce, after all, they were going to Tianwei City, and Lu Changfeng complained in a letter a few days ago that there were many troubles waiting for them.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere around him, Feng Zhe also comforted Li Hanning on the side and said:

"You can rest assured that the position of General Dongying will always be reserved for you, and no one else is suitable except for you, except for you, those people will not listen to other people's words."

When Li Hanning heard this, he remembered the Dongying soldiers he was carrying, smiled rarely, and nodded.

He was going to leave the barracks early tomorrow morning, but Li Hanning looked calm tonight, as if he had spent countless nights in this barracks.

Xiao Ce's side has secretly taken care of everything in the camp, and even gave his personal jade pendant to Li Hanning, with this jade pendant, he can mobilize his hundreds of secret guards in Luoyang, in case there is really something on the Luoyang side, those people can also help.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Li Hanning was ready to get into the carriage, I don't know if it was because yesterday's things were too busy, or because he was too relieved of her, when he saw him off this morning, Li Hanning waited for a while, but Xiao Ce still didn't come to see him off.

The envoy saw that she got into the carriage, but still did not lower the curtain, thinking that he knew who she was waiting for, so he simply asked:

"General Li is waiting for someone?"

If he was really waiting for someone, the envoy was naturally not in a hurry.

Li Hanning heard this, if he was going to appear, he would have been here a long time ago, maybe there were really a lot of things to be busy, he shouldn't be coming, and he didn't know what he was expecting, there were not many precedents for masters to send their subordinates away throughout the ages, and between them were originally masters and courtiers, Li Hanning thought of this and put down the curtain:

"He's not coming, let's go."

Probably because she thought about it too much, but she didn't see Xiao Ce among the people who saw her off, she was indeed a little lost for no reason, maybe because of the injuries on her body, so people also became a little hypocritical, thinking that maybe it would be better after this time.

The wheels rolled on the road ahead, and gradually out of the barracks, and the envoys rode their horses to the front of the carriage, and they returned to Luoyang from the south on the way, and spent two full days, during which they also stayed at an inn, and all of them were untroubled.

When he arrived in Luoyang, Li Hanning first went back to the Ming Palace, and the next day he went to visit the King of Luoyang, and the rewards he received were also placed on Xiao Ce's mansion, although these rewards were one after another, but he didn't need so many gold and silver treasures, and there was no place to use them, so he simply put them in Xiao Ce's mansion, and then concentrated on recuperating in the mansion.

The days passed uneventfully for two days, until the chief steward of the palace suddenly introduced him to a guard, who was much taller than him, and looked very thin, and wore a half-silver mask on his face.

Li Hanning glanced at the chief manager on the side with some puzzlement, and the chief manager hurriedly explained to her:

"This is the leader of the secret guard left in Luoyang by His Royal Highness King Ming, who was ordered by His Royal Highness King Ming to follow General Li, you can call him Wuzhao."

She likes to be quiet and comfortable alone, she doesn't like to get along with others, and she is not used to knowing people, she came to a personal guard coldly, and she was somewhat repulsed in her heart, not that she rejected him as a person, but she was used to being alone, and she felt more convenient.

Li Hanning looked at the main pipe in the house in front of him:

"Actually, don't bother, the injuries on my body are actually almost healed."

There is no need for anyone to watch, she has returned to Luoyang in the past few days, and she has not encountered any danger, and the injuries on her body have also been seen by the doctors in Luoyang City, the wounds have almost healed, she has also suffered more serious injuries in the past, and those injuries in the north are nothing to her now, not to mention that half a month has passed.

The chief manager glanced at the shadow guard and then at Li Hanning, and hurriedly rounded the matter back:

"General Li, don't be too troublesome, the open guns in Luoyang City are easy to dodge and the dark arrows are difficult to defend, this is a piece of the prince's heart, and besides, if you let him stay by his side, His Royal Highness King Ming can rest assured, otherwise he will not rest assured if the general is left alone in Luoyang."

Li Hanning hesitated for a moment, the person in front of him was just obeying Xiao Ce, who was far away in the sky, why should she make trouble for this old man, maybe in a few days, she would be able to leave Luoyang and go to Tianwei City.

Li Hanning didn't excuse himself anymore, so he had to say, "Then stay." ”

At the end, Li Hanning looked at the shadow guard standing on the side, dressed in black and wearing a half-silver mask:

"Then I'll have to work for you in the next few days."

She didn't have much to do here, and she shouldn't bother him too much.

The chief manager looked at Li Hanning again and said: "I know that the general has always liked to be quiet, Wuzhao has the highest martial arts in the position, and once because of a serious illness when he was a child, his appearance and voice were ruined, he can't speak, and he usually doesn't bother the general." ”

Only then did Li Hanning know that this was the reason why he had not spoken since just now.

The butler's gaze fell on the shadow guard on the side again: "If the general needs anything, just call him, although he can't speak, but his hearing is very good." ”

Li Hanning nodded, and the housekeeper handed over another invitation, Li Hanning naturally took it, and opened it to see that it was from the Prince's Mansion.

"General, this is an invitation sent by the Prince's Mansion this morning, inviting the family members of the Ming Palace's Mansion and General Li, Your Royal Highness has not yet married and is not in Luoyang, so naturally there is no family member, so the person who should want to invite over there is you."

The reason for the invitation was the Crown Princess's birthday banquet.

Although she doesn't know this crown princess, she still went to the morning court today, but I'm afraid that there is no suitable reason not to go, and she always has to come, although she doesn't like to participate in such a banquet the most.

"A few days ago, Your Majesty rewarded you with a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and you have worked hard to pick out some valuable ones in them, and I will bring them with me when I go to the banquet tomorrow."

The manager nodded, although he was a little older, but some things were very clear, and Li Hanning naturally listened to her orders when he was in the mansion:

"Yes."

Li Hanning put it away, although it was an obvious Hongmen banquet, but after all, there were many guests at the banquet, and they should not be in danger in their own place, thinking of this, she suddenly missed the days in the barracks in the past, at least she didn't have to guard against the dark arrows she shot.

At night, Li Hanning had already taken off his coat, leaving only a thin layer of underwear that was close to his body, and was about to lie on the bed to sleep, when he suddenly remembered something, opened a door and looked out through the crack in the hidden door, and sure enough, he saw that the secret guard in the day was still guarding outside, standing there motionless, just like before.

They are all people who have been secret guards, and Li Hanning can also empathize more, in fact, it is very safe in the Ming Palace, and he doesn't have to work so hard.

Li Hanning pushed open the door, glanced sideways at him, and said hello:

"It's so late, you haven't slept yet?"

If she hadn't found out, wouldn't this person have to stand outside all night?

Shadow Guard heard her voice, and subconsciously looked in her direction, and saw that the clothes she was wearing were not as usual, and he immediately turned his head away unnaturally.

Li Hanning remembered that he couldn't speak, so he said again: "Go back and rest, I'm going to sleep too, you will go to the banquet with me tomorrow, have a good rest tonight, you are now my secret guard, you have to listen to my orders." ”

The secret guard turned around and waved at her, and then left the door, Li Hanning relieved himself and closed the door again.

The next night, because tonight was the birthday of the crown princess of the prince's mansion, Luoyang even canceled today's curfew, but the streets at the entrance of the prince's mansion were sealed by Luoyang's Praetorian Guards.

There are two huge red lanterns hanging next to the black gilt plaque of the prince's mansion, the door is open, a lantern can also be seen inside, the candles are bright, and most of the courtyards behind the main hall are placed with the congratulatory gifts brought by the guests, there are many guests, many of them are seen when she went to court during the day, and it is really the prince's mansion, the door is like a city, so it is not lively.

Li Hanning came to the Prince's Mansion with a congratulatory gift and a secret guard, the congratulatory gift had been placed at the door, and someone would be responsible for carrying it in, but the guard in front of him reached out to stop him, and the guard looked at the saber on her waist and said:

"According to the rules, General Li can't bring weapons into the Prince's Mansion tonight, and please don't embarrass us."

Li Hanning himself also glanced down at the sword on his waist, tonight here are all ministers with heads and faces in the court, and it is natural to pay attention to these things, just like they can't carry weapons when they are in the morning court, since this is the case, why not temporarily unload their weapons.

Li Hanning unsheathed his saber and handed it over.

The guard hurriedly said to her: "Don't worry, general, we will take care of the general's sword, and when the general returns after the banquet, we will present it." ”

Li Hanning nodded and entered the mansion with the secret guard behind him.
