"Hey? Let me tell you, look, does the one in front look like the stupid kid?"
As the black spot got closer and closer, the old men under the archway squinted their eyes and suddenly realized that these people seemed a little familiar!
Aren't the two people running at the front the same as Lengzi and Xiaodong who followed the Marquis on the expedition?!
"Hey, it's really him, and Xiaodong! No! The Marquis is back!"
Finally, an old man was the first to react. He jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly.
"What? The Marquis is back?"
"Master Hou is back!"
"Hey, Lord Marquis is back!"
With this shout of joy, the calm Xiao Family Zhuangzi suddenly seemed to be boiling! Before the voice fell, all the people in the Zhuangzi rushed out of the house and rushed to the entrance of the Zhuangzi!
At this time, Xiao Han had already arrived at the foot of the archway on horseback.
Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Xiao Han wanted to yell: "I, Hu Hansan, am back again!"
However, when he really opened his mouth, he felt his throat was hoarse again, as if something was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word. It was so uncomfortable!
"Master Marquis, you have worked so hard in the war! I don't know how the war will be! How many levels of enemies have been killed! How many prisoners have been captured!" In this quiet moment, the oldest old man under the archway walked out slowly with a cane and raised his head towards Xiao Han and Wei Wei.
He asked with trembling hands.
Xiao Han looked at the old man and was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly reacted and shouted with all his strength: "This battle is a great victory! Kill tens of thousands of enemies! Capture 100,000!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The old man laughed when he heard the words and said three good words in a row. Then he threw away his cane and bowed and saluted: "In this way, we should pay tribute to the heaven and earth, comfort the ancestors, congratulate the Marquis, and
Congratulations to the world!"
"Congratulations to the Marquis and congratulations to the world!"
After the old man said these words, he followed closely behind him, young and old! The men bowed down one after another, and the women all made blessings!
Even Liu Zhi, Xiaodong and others hurriedly jumped off their horses and bowed to salute. Only Xiao Han stood upright on his horse, enjoying this much-anticipated honor.
Xiao Han knew that this was the treatment that a general would receive after he returned from victory, and it was also the highest honor that a military general could enjoy after returning to his hometown!
"Remove armor!"
Seeing this rare scene, some excited veterans finally couldn't help but roared loudly according to military practice!
But soon, he discovered that Xiao Han, who was supposed to be wearing armor and returning to his hometown in honor, was now only wearing a light suit, not to mention armor, not even a leaf on his armor.
"this……"
The veteran who discovered this was a little dumbfounded. Just when he didn't know what to do, Xiao Han reacted faster and immediately took off his short sword and threw it to the veteran.
"The armor removal is complete!" The veteran who caught the dagger wiped the sweat on his forehead in embarrassment, and then shouted again: "Drink!"
Drinking to drink, that is, returning to drinking to drink, also called drinking to Ce Xun.
Different from the slogan "Drinking to Victory" that Xiao Han used before, only generals who have returned from victory can enjoy this special title of "Drinking to Victory".
Along with the veteran's roar, a shy beauty was already offering wine.
Well, Xiao’s aged wine is indeed a fine wine!
Ziyi who brought the wine was indeed a beauty!
It's just that Xiao Han thinks that if you give wine, you can give wine. It can be a wine cup or a wine glass. What's going on with a wine jar as big as a man's head?
"Master Marquis, this is a celebration wine, you must drink it."
Liu Zhi was behind Xiao Han and saw Xiao Han staring at the wine jar in a daze, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to explain in a low voice.
"Nonsense! Of course I know!"
Xiao Han turned around and rolled his eyes at Liu Zhi, then looked at the excited crowd around him and Ziyi, whose eyes were pleading, and finally he could only grit his teeth and stamp his feet: "I'll drink!"
After saying this, Xiao Han took the wine jar from Ziyi's hand and raised it above his head, and then the clear wine fell from the mouth of the jar like a waterfall, straight into Xiao Han's mouth.
"Okay! Mr. Hou has a huge amount!"
Liu Zhi watched in stunned silence as Xiao Han drank up a jar of wine. It took him a long time to remember to applaud and cheer!
Only after cheering, he asked Xiao Han cautiously: "Um... Mr. Hou, you drank all the jar of wine without leaving any, are you planning to open another jar later to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth?"
"What? Burp~" Xiao Han, who had had a full belly of wine, was stunned, burped, and looked at Liu Zhi with straight eyes: "You didn't say that just now, don't you have to drink it?"
"Yes!" Liu Zhi rolled his eyes with an innocent look on his face: "I said you must drink it, but I didn't say you must drink it all? You just meant it, but why did you drink it all at once?"
"Fat Liu, let me go to your uncle!"
Hearing this sentence, Xiao Han went completely crazy!
A big jar of wine, at least three kilograms! Even if he spilled it, at least one and a half kilograms went into his mouth! You just need to know what it means, he is crazy to drink so much wine on an empty stomach!
"How dare you cheat me!" It felt like ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping past... Just when Xiao Han was about to smash the empty jar on the dead fat man's head, the originally crowded crowd suddenly separated into a road.
In the middle of this road, a pretty figure hugged a little girl with sky-high braids and slowly walked up to Xiao Han.
"Xue Pan!"
The wine jar slipped from his hand unknowingly, fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces. The remaining wine in the jar splashed on Xiao Han, but Xiao Han seemed not to notice.
At this moment, in his world, there was only the mother and daughter in front of him, the mother and daughter who belonged to him!
"You're back!" Xue Pan smiled sweetly at Xiao Han, her tone as gentle as greeting her husband who came home from work after a day's work.
But those slightly red eyes slightly revealed the unrest in her heart.
"Mom..." An An was holding her mother's neck in her arms, curiously looking at the stranger in front of her. For some reason, she always felt that this person looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
"An'an, this is father, please call daddy!" Suddenly hearing his daughter's voice, Xue Panru woke up from her dream and hurriedly sent her to Xiao Han.
"dad?"
An An stared at her big, watery eyes and was not afraid. She just looked up and down at this familiar stranger until Xiao Han couldn't help but let out a wine burp, then quickly covered his little nose and said, "Stink!"
"Well……"
Xiao Han was a little embarrassed. He really wanted to hug his daughter, but he was worried that the dust on his body would stain this angelic and beautiful child, so he didn't dare to reach out.
Later, Butler Lu, who was still in a hurry, came over and said to Xue Pan: "The Marquis has just come back. Don't wait to frighten the child with the evil spirit all over his body. Go home first and step on the brazier. After bathing and changing clothes, it is not too late to hold the child again!"
