The officials of Honglu Temple saw them taking out several boxes and opening them for inspection. The contents were either gems or spices.
He couldn't help but open his mouth.
After dividing the things, Nie Canjun asked people to pile the boxes onto a cart and take them away together. Those that could not be stacked were carried away. Everyone planned to go back to the camp like this.
For some reason, Man Bao looked a little unbearable, so he stopped them and said, "There are many of our ox carts over there at the inn. Let me lend you one."
When Nie Canjun heard this, he happily thanked his brothers and Zhou Man.
Man Bao said: "Remember to return it to me later."
Yin You, who was about to get in the car and leave, suddenly turned around and said, "That carriage belongs to my family, so I must remember to return it to my family."
Nie Canjun: "...Yes."
So everyone held hands and said goodbye at the entrance of Honglu Temple, then turned around and went back to their homes.
Liu Huan was very uneasy. He always felt that what was waiting for him would be a stick when he returned, so he was unwilling to ride a horse. Instead, he tightly held the message hand and said, "Is it true that Grandpa won't beat me?"
He was also worried about the message, but comforted him: "Don't worry, didn't Mr. Bai say that he specially sent Manager Li to see us off, just to ask Manager Li to praise you. The old man just got angry again when he heard Manager Li praise you like this.
It's hard for you to do anything, not to mention the old lady is here."
Liu Huan felt more at ease now.
Yin You, who was temporarily traveling with Liu Huan, was also a little nervous, but it was not fear, but joy.
It was the first time that he had been away from home for so long, and this time he came home with gifts for everyone.
He couldn't help but curl his mouth slightly just thinking about it.
Man Bao and the others rushed home without anyone informing Old Zhou and the others, so Old Zhou's house was quiet. When there was a knock on the side door, when Zhou Lang, who was nearby, came to open the door, he saw Man Bao outside the door.
Surprised, then delighted.
Man Bao was also surprised to see Zhou Lang and exclaimed: "Third brother, when did you come to the capital?"
Zhou Lang laughed so hard that he almost couldn't see his eyes, "I came here in October, and your second brother and sister-in-law went back and said that Erya's marriage was over, and the second one was engaged. My parents asked me and your third sister-in-law to take five
I came to the capital firstly to see the marriage of the fourth person, and secondly to send the fifth person to study."
Zhou Lang quickly opened the door, welcomed them inside, and shouted inside, "Dad, Mom, Manbao is back——"
Bai Shan looked around and asked, "Brother Zhou Zhou, where is the concierge?"
Zhou Lang said with a smile: "It has been very cold these past two days, and no one has come to the door. Now they have gone to eat and warm themselves by the fire. We live close to each other, and we can hear anyone knocking on the door."
Bai Shan smiled and nodded, and together with him he opened the threshold to let the carriage in. Mr. Zhuang had hardly rested during this period of travel and was very tired. Bai Shan then said to the ten maids who were tied up: "You will take Mr. Zhuang's luggage with him."
Take it down, someone will take you down in a while, and first serve the gentleman to wash up and eat."
Lao Zhoutou and the others came over after hearing the news and looked at them in surprise.
Man Bao then ran up and hugged Mr. Qian and Mr. Qian. It was so lively here that some servants finally came to see what was going on.
Immediately, servants came forward to help them take down the things, and then went to notify Mrs. Liu and asked the kitchen to boil water for cooking. There was a lot of excitement.
Lao Zhoutou held Mr. Zhuang's hand and was very grateful, "Mr., I have been tired from the journey."
Mrs. Liu came over and was also pleasantly surprised, "Why don't you ask someone to come back in advance to notify you when you come back? We can send someone to pick you up."
"Yes," Mrs. Qian also nodded Man Bao's head and said, "You guys are so naughty. You scared us a lot today."
Bai Erlang stood alone, squeezed in and asked, "Uncle, my eldest brother and the others are not here?"
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Your elder brother-in-law went to the capital to take the exam and is temporarily staying with your elder brother. Today, your elder brother is accompanying your elder sister-in-law to go back to pay New Year greetings. He will probably have dinner before coming back."
She reached out and touched Bai Erlang's head, and said with a smile: "It's been a lot darker this time I went out."
When Bai Erlang heard this, he immediately felt aggrieved and said, "Uncle, it's really hot in the desert."
He looked left and right, pointed at Bai Shan and said, "He can't get a tan no matter how hard he tans. We all get a little tan. Even Yin or Chang sitting in the carriage are tan."
Yin You was indeed tanned. Not only was he tanned, but he also looked much more energetic. As soon as he returned home, not only Master Yin nodded approvingly, but even Mrs. Yin had a look of relief on her face, holding his hand and saying:
"You haven't suffered along the way, have you?"
Yin You said with a smile: "No, everything was well arranged along the way."
This was just a lie to Mrs. Yin. Yin Li knew that they had encountered horse thieves and Tubo troops on the way.
After the meal, the father and son sat down to talk, and Yin Li asked him in detail about his experiences along the way, and then said: "I asked General Ashina when he came back. At that time, you almost died when you encountered horse thieves in the desert?"
Yin Yue said: "Nie Canjun and the others fought tooth and nail to protect each other. We were just frightened. General Guo soon came to rescue us with his troops."
Yin Li nodded, "I accept the love between the Guo family and his son. The people who were chasing you at that time were the remnants of Xue Yantuo?"
Yin You paused and nodded, "The two leaders are now serving under General Ashina."
Yin Li smiled and said: "General Ashina said that Bai Shan had told him that although Jin Kui'an was brave, he had no strategy, but he was vicious. He was only interested in profit, and he was greedy for beauty and money. Using him
Be extra careful.”
Yin You smiled slightly and said, "This is not only Bai Shan's opinion, but also his son's."
Originally Jin Kui'an and Erge should stay in the Anxi Army, but after meeting Chai Duhu, Bai Shan approached General Ashina for advice, believing that staying in the Anxi Army would do more harm than good to Anxi. General Ashina
I also feel that Chai Duhu's bullets cannot suppress Erge and Jin Kuian.
Especially Jin Kui'an, this man is very powerful and unyielding. If Chai Duhu has the ability, he can always suppress him, but Chai Duhu obviously doesn't have the ability of General Guo. If Jin Kui'an is left behind, I'm afraid he will make trouble in the army.
, once the two people have a conflict and cannot convince each other, Jin Kui'an will probably not rebel under any psychological pressure.
So after thinking about it, Bai Shan approached General Ashina for advice.
General Ashina took Jin Kui'an to his side on the grounds that he had made an outstanding contribution in attacking the Kucha Royal City, and directly asked his subordinates to take him back to Lanzhou.
As for erg, it was mentioned in passing.
Yin Li is not a stingy person. Since Jin Kui'an has made meritorious deeds, he will not do anything until he does nothing wrong again, but once the other party does something wrong...
Yin Li sneered in his heart.
Yin You breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Father, is your Majesty angry that we have not returned for a long time?"
Yin Li glanced at him and said: "Your Majesty is quite happy about the great victory in the Western Expedition. Although you are among the envoys, it is not you who is in charge. You don't have to worry about this matter. Take a good rest first. Your Majesty may be there in a few days."
Only then will I summon you.”
But in fact, the emperor sent people out of the palace early the next morning to call all five of them and brought them to the palace to lecture them.
