Chapter 104 Returning home in glory

The next day, early in the morning, someone came to visit me.

The one who came was Jiacheng from Li Guangli's mansion.

On the order of Mrs. Li Guangli, he sent a congratulatory gift from the title of Marquis Zhang Yue and twelve maids.

Zhang Yue originally wanted to refuse, but after a second thought, he gave up his original idea and happily accepted the gift and maid.

"Thank you madam for me, I will pay you a visit in a few days"!

The main reason why Zhang Yue accepted the gift from Li Guangli was because he could not manage the Western Region without Li Guangli's support no matter what, so it was essential to have a good relationship with Li Guangli.

After the steward of the Li Mansion left, Prince Liu Ju also sent a congratulatory gift. After Zhang Yue thought about it, he politely sent a piece of Hetian jade as a return gift, but tactfully declined the banquet invitation from the Prince's Mansion.

For more than half a month, there was an endless stream of princes and ministers who came to visit me every day.

In front of Zhang Yue Mansion, it can be said that there is a bustling crowd.

Zhang Yue received all the visitors politely and accepted all the gifts as ordered, but he refused all the invitations.

The repetitive days in Chang'an gradually made Zhang Yue tired, and the emperor did not intend to release him to Luntai now.

After some thought, he planned to return to Yunyang County so that he could see what his fiefdom was like.

Secondly, I hope to recruit a group of people from the township party to go to the Western Regions.

More importantly, he wanted to find out what happened to his father back then.

Although I have learned some things from my father's old friends these days.

I am afraid that the one who really knows the cause and effect is my cheap father-in-law.

He did what he thought of, and the next day, Zhang Yue submitted a memorial requesting to return home.

…

"Your Majesty, Marquis Yunyang has sent me a memorial and wants to return to Yunyang County!"

"Oh, that kid must be tired of staying in Chang'an."

In the Xuanshi Palace, the emperor read Zhang Yue's report.

Mentioned a word on it

"Can!"

"Tell that mat, how can you not return home if you are rich and noble? I agree..."

On the road from Chang'an to Yunyang County, a group of knights with black dragon flags were heading towards Yunyang County.

Each of these knights is equipped with three horses, wearing iron armor, a large cloak, and a sword on his waist. They are very powerful.

Passersby along the way were filled with envy when they saw him.

This group of people was Zhang Yue and others who were preparing to return home.

After turning around a dense forest, a small city appeared on the horizon.

"Junhou, we are almost arriving at Yunyang County!"

Zhang Yue didn't say anything, but quickly rode his horse to the edge of the cliff.

Looking at the small town in the distance, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

This feeling is very complicated, including joy, excitement, but also a little confusion and worry.

Maybe he is timid about being close to home, or maybe he doesn't know how to face his wife at home.

He sat on his horse and remained silent for a long time.

The attendants around him were consciously on guard to prevent anyone from coming forward to disturb him.

After a long time, Zhang Yue finally turned around and looked at the attendants around him, and then looked up at the sky.

At this time, his mood was very complicated, and various pictures flashed through his mind.

"Let's go!"

After a long time, he turned back and ordered.

The group continued to move forward.

As we gradually approached Yunyang County, there were gradually more pedestrians on the road.

The news that Zhang Yue was granted the title of Marquis for his meritorious service has already spread back to the county.

Everyone in the county was proud of the occasion and held spontaneous celebrations. In the past few days, the city was filled with lanterns and colorful decorations.

When people saw Zhang Yue and his party, they moved to both sides of the road from a distance.

Zhang Yue also saw some familiar faces, but he did not stop, and these people did not recognize him.

After four years away from home, Zhang Yue has undergone tremendous changes in both his demeanor and appearance.

Four years ago, he was a skinny son-in-law who was despised by the villagers.

But now Zhang Yue has transformed into a muscular military attache, and is the newly conferred Marquis of Yunyang in Chang'an.

"Junhou!"

One of the attendants rode forward and called.

Zhang Yue turned around and saw that it was Zhao Yi.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Yue asked with a smile.

Zhao Yi said hesitantly, "Junhou, Qingxi Township is ahead of us. I would like to take leave and go back to my hometown to have a look."

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "It should be, it should be. How can wealth not return home? Go quickly..."

Zhao Yi chuckled and said, "Thank you sir, I will be back within three days."

Zhang Yue patted him on the shoulder, "Three days is enough, I'll give you seven days off. I remember that Dong Fei is also from your hometown, so I'm going to visit you..."

"promise!"

Zhao Yi happily agreed.

"I have prepared two gifts, one for you, and the other for me to bring to Dong Fei's family..."

"If I have time, I'll pay you a visit!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

When Zhao Yi left, Zhang Yue sent two attendants to go home with him.

Looking at Zhao Yi's cheerful figure, a smile appeared on his face.

Although Zhao Yi and Dong Fei were ordinary people, they followed them into the desert of the Western Region without hesitation for the sake of the big man, with the tigers and wolves of the northwest as their neighbors and the vast desert as their home.

Why do they and millions of ordinary people choose this way?

This is for the country, and it is also for the family. Those who serve the country should donate their body and soul to the country, keep the country peaceful and the people in peace, and the king's heart will always be there.

It is precisely because of countless ordinary people like this who guard the border that the peace and prosperity of the mainland can be achieved.

Those who are family members only hope that the family will be happy and share a family relationship; they also hope to be able to build a successful career, have a wife and children, return to their hometown in rich clothes, and return to their hometown with honor.

Xiang Yu, the overlord a hundred years ago, vowed to die in Jiangdong.

And to ask what happened, it was just that I had no face to see Mr. Jiangdong again, that's all.

When the overlord of Western Chu left his hometown full of ambitions, all he wanted to do was to achieve hegemony in the future, join hands with beautiful women, return to his hometown in fine clothes, and return to his hometown in glory.

Didn’t Emperor Gao always think about returning home in glory...

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue suddenly became happy.

He laughed at the distant city and shouted, "I Zhang Yue is back!"

His shouts alerted the farmers who were cultivating the fields.

The farmers raised their heads in shock at first, and then realized what was going on.

Soon people also became excited.

"It's Marquis Yunyang who has returned to his hometown!"

"The Lord has returned to his hometown...The Lord has returned to his hometown..."

The shouts came and went, each one containing endless joy and surprise.

This is the case in this era. The township party is one of the closest relationships. It can be said that one is prosperous and one suffers both losses.

Zhang Yue's ennoblement as a marquis benefits not only him alone, but also his family's affairs. It can also bring huge benefits to the township party.

The shouts soon spread throughout the county.

When the county magistrate got the news, he organized people to prepare for Zhang Yue's return to his hometown and sent people to Zhang Yue's home to report the news.

When Zhang Yue and his party arrived at the city gate, there was already a large group of people waiting to greet him.

From a distance, Zhang Yue saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

That is his wife "Zhang Guoshi!"

He was a little hesitant at first, but soon he figured out that he was Zhang Yue, and that was his wife...
