Zheng Fan didn't persuade Tian Wujing to leave the army and go back. Although Paixiu can run much better than the best horses in terms of stamina and speed, since Tian Wujing led the army, it is naturally impossible for Tian Wujing to leave alone, even if his Wife is about to give birth.
To make this suggestion to him is firstly to insult Jingnan Hou, and secondly, to risk your own life to flatter this person who may really kill you.
After marching in the Tianduan Mountains for more than 20 days, the army finally came out and returned to Shengle City.
Siniang and the blind mobilized the soldiers and civilians in the city to organize a big banquet to reward the soldiers of the expedition, which was actually a running water banquet.
Moreover, there are very few meat dishes on the flowing water table, and they are basically vegetarian dishes. However, those soldiers of the Yan army who experienced eating meat for the first time saw these vegetarian dishes as if they were hungry.
Tian Wujing also entered Shengle City. Although he may wish to leave here immediately and rush back to Litian City, he has to have a beginning and an end in doing things.
Today is a big banquet for the whole army. Although the court's reward has not yet come down, it can be regarded as an early celebration. As the commander of the expeditionary force, he can't leave on this day.
After staying today, the army can be left to a few general soldiers to take the whole return journey, but he can drive back with ease.
Originally, this table in Shengle City was cooked by Siniang herself, entertaining Tian Wujing and the general officers of the Jingnan Army.
Whoever imagined it, what Zheng Fan didn't expect was that Yao Zizhan hadn't left yet.
? At the beginning, according to the agreement between him and himself, in fact, this Qianguo literary sage should have left long ago when he was due to teach.
When Zheng Fan set off, he also specifically told the blind man that this old man is not simple, but he is still interesting. Killing him is a bit boring, so let's let him go.
After all, I still have to keep him going back as agreed to help me brag or something.
But the old man didn't leave, and he was brazenly waiting for Tian Wujing and Zheng Fan in the hall.
? After Yao Zizhan reported his identity,
Several general officers of the Jingnan Army informed Tian Wujing and Zheng Fan, the masters, that they felt comfortable going down to eat and drink with the soldiers, so they left without serving the table.
This made Zheng Fan re-examine Yao Zizhan's influence, probably because he experienced the infiltration of "Three Hundred Tang Poems" in later generations,
It made Zheng Fan not feel too much about the poets and poets in this world, but Yao Zizhan's name actually made these general officers feel that they should avoid the seat, which is much more interesting.
Maybe this old man often brags that Emperor Yan is willing to exchange three thousand iron cavalry for Yao Zizhan's old bones, and he is really not lying.
Therefore, the table was originally full of banquets, but suddenly there were only three people left.
Tian Wujing took the first seat, Yao Zizhan took the second seat, and Zheng Fan accompanied the last seat.
Yao Zizhan picked up a glass of water and wine first,
?Respect Jing Nanhou:
"Yao Zizhan, a survivor of the Great Xia, congratulates Lord Jingnan on his victory and return!"
Tian Wujing picked up the wine glass and gave a false response.
In the final analysis, three of the four major countries are the legacy of the Great Xia.
At the beginning, Da Xiazi granted the titles of Marquis of Yan, Marquis of Jin, and Marquis of Chu to deal with the barbarians, savages, and Shanyue respectively. All three families succeeded, not only opening up the territory for Da Xia and sweeping out the foreigners, but also passing it on to this day.
On the contrary, it is the Qian State, the Emperor Taizu of the Qian State has nothing to do with the Great Xia. After the fall of the Great Xia, the area of ????the Qian State has been divided for several generations.
But the Zhao officials of the Qian Kingdom wouldn¡¯t say that. If they forcibly fabricate history, they must also fabricate who their ancestors were under Da Xiazi¡¯s command, and what great achievements they made.
"Master Hou, the old man has also heard about the affairs of Chengguo. Alas, the Yu family has developed for hundreds of years, and now it is falling into a state of exhaustion. It is really embarrassing.
?It is not easy for our ancestors to start a business. If our descendants cannot guard the territory of our homeland, what face will we have to go underground to meet our ancestors in the future? "
Zheng Fan ate the food in silence, and at the same time felt that what old man Yao said was a bit strange and too sensational.
There is one thing to say, Yanhuang dared to hook up with the Situ family and said, "You and I are both survivors of the Great Xia", and we should fight the enemy together, but it is impossible for Yanhuang to say such words or show that he is a traitor to the officials of the Qian state. That's what it means.
? It is really the coquettish operation of Qianren a hundred years ago, which is too memorable.
Old man Yao is sensational at the moment, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
Tian Wujing put down his wine glass and said:
"Mr. Yao, please speak up if you have something to say."
In the end is it given??Why didn't anyone come here ahead of time and wait for the return of Lord Hou's army to report? "
"that's true."
Zheng Fan took a breath,
road:
"I mean, the Marquis of Jingnan is so anxious, he should have noticed that something is wrong, and it's not right. Counting the days, Du Juan may have just given birth not long ago, and Litian City is quite far from us, and the messenger may still be on the way Maybe."
Si Niang knew the relationship between her master and the Marquis of Jingnan, and said:
"I hope so, my lord, shall we go then?"
"No need to prepare anything?"
"What can the Hou Mansion lack?"
"Right."
After Zheng Fan and the blind man explained a few more words, they went to the barracks with Siniang.
The barracks became more lively because of Tian Wujing's arrival, Jingnanhou was walking among the soldiers with wine.
This wine is just for show, no one in the Jingnan Army, from the commander-in-chief to the ordinary soldiers, dared to drink Tian Wujing's wine.
When Zheng Fan and Siniang entered the barracks, Tian Wujing looked over, nodded, and signaled Zheng Fan to wait a little longer, he still needed to see the wounded and sick soldiers.
at this time,
A fast horse galloped from outside the barracks, followed by more than a dozen Jingnan army sentry cavalry.
Even though there is a banquet in the camp, the guard outside is not at all low.
And obviously, those sentry riders should know who came, so they didn't stop or report, but just accompanied and escorted them to the Chinese army camp.
When the visitor lost his left arm and rode past Zheng Fan, Zheng Fan thought he looked familiar. After thinking about it, he remembered that the person should be Ma Kui, one of Tian Wujing's former personal guards. There was a period of time when he went to Beijing in the Jingnan Hou's personal guard camp, so he recognized him.
It's just that he was seriously injured in the Battle of Broken Jin and became half disabled, so he didn't stay in the army anymore, but returned to the Hou Mansion as a "housekeeper".
Tian Wujing watched his former bodyguard come riding on horseback, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Ma Kui got off his horse, rolled and crawled on the ground several times before he ran in front of Tian Wujing,
The soldiers around wanted to laugh at first, but after seeing the tears and snot on Ma Kui's face, everyone subconsciously fell silent;
Ma Kui climbed to Tian Wujing's feet, reached out and grabbed Tian Wujing's boots,
cried out miserably:
"Master Hou, Lord Hou, this subordinate deserves to die, this subordinate deserves to die, this subordinate failed to protect Madam well ?
