Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan rushed to the city gate and saw Long Chen and Li Heiniu coming in.
"The general will pay homage to King Wu."
The two of them bowed before the horse in surprise.
They had been away for almost four months, and the two of them waited anxiously for news every day, and finally waited until Long Chen came back.
"Why are you staying here and not returning to Jinling City?"
Long Chen smiled, Li Heiniu and others dismounted and bowed: "Master Gongsun, General Li."
Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan were of higher rank, so Li Heiniu and others dismounted their horses and saluted.
"Thank you generals for their hard work."
Gongsun Ming returned the gift with his hand.
The five Li Heiniu were not of high rank, but they followed Long Chen and had high status, so Gongsun Ming returned the favor.
"Okay, let's go to the city and talk."
Long Chen dismounted and walked back slowly with a few people.
"King Wu has been away for several months and has been cut off from all contact with him. This really scares us."
Gongsun Ming shook his head and sighed.
Long Chen smiled and said: "The place where Zhao Kingdom is located is not big, but the mountains and rivers are rugged, making it difficult to walk."
"The most troublesome thing is Bamboo's poison. I don't dare to act rashly until I figure it out."
Speaking of the poison, Li Xiannan asked: "I want to know, what exactly is the poison? How was it eliminated in the end?"
Long Chen turned around and pointed at the two large jars on the horse's back: "Those are Zhubu's poisons, which I brought back."
Li Xiannan and Gongsun Ming looked back and were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat.
"Why did King Wu bring poison into the city?"
Li Xiannan jumped up in fright, and Gongsun Ming turned pale.
Zhennan City was wiped out due to the poison poison, and Long Chen actually brought back two large jars of poison poison.
"Didn't I say in my letter that poisonous poison can cure corpse poison? Of course I brought it back to Yuncheng to cure corpse poison."
Long Chen was also very surprised. This matter had already been mentioned before, why were the two of them still so surprised?
"I know, we have all seen it, but King Wu didn't say he brought the Gu insects back."
Li Xiannan was so frightened that he hid in front of Long Chen, staying far away from the war horse behind him.
Li Heiniu smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, General Li. They have been sealed. There will be no problem."
"We took these two jars from Zhugu to here for almost a month without any accidents."
Li Xiannan was still afraid and stayed away from him, not daring to get close.
Suddenly, Li Xiannan caught a glimpse of the Flower Goddess walking at the end, and was shocked.
The Flower Goddess wears a bamboo hat to cover her face, and her clothes are very plain. Even so, her graceful and swaying figure when walking gives people a sense of enchantment.
"King Wu, who is that?"
Li Xiannan pointed at the Flower God and asked.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Guess."
Li Xiannan couldn't guess it, so he turned around and asked Li Heiniu: "Who is she?"
>
Long Chen was a womanizer and could seduce beautiful women wherever he went. Li Xiannan had a bad feeling.
"The Flower Goddess, the patron saint of Bamboo, is the one who makes the poison."
Li Heiniu looked indifferent, and Mao San and the others were not surprised.
Gongsun Ming was startled and asked in surprise: "Why did King Wu bring Poison Girl back?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, she obeys me now, it doesn't matter."
Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan hid far away.
"Niu Sanjin, the magistrate of Heling County, pays homage to King Wu."
The county magistrate and the government office ran to the door to pay their respects.
Long Chen said: "You're welcome, take a day off and leave tomorrow."
Niu Sanjin has made arrangements and is waiting for Long Chen to return.
After settling down, the flower god lived alone, and the jar was taken care of by the flower god.
Sitting in the courtyard, Gongsun Ming asked about Long Chen's affairs in Zhaoren, and then asked: "Will King Wu go back soon?"
Long Chen said: "It's been a long time. Your Majesty should be worried. There are so many people in Yuncheng and Yanmen Pass, and they are all waiting to go home."
Li Xiannan said: "The Holy Emperor has sent several letters asking about King Wu's whereabouts."
"Fortunately, King Wu wrote a letter, otherwise we wouldn't be able to explain."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, you two. Let's go back to Jinling City tomorrow."
After eating, Long Chen went back to his room to rest, and Li Xiannan followed him.
"King Wu, isn't that flower god very beautiful?"
"Huh? Why do you ask this?"
Li Xiannan chuckled and said: "It's nothing, just a reminder. The fourth princess is very jealous. The Flower Goddess is so beautiful. King Wu had better make it clear to the fourth princess first to avoid misunderstandings."
Long Chen thought for a while, nodded and said: "It makes sense. You better understand Luo Xi. I'll write her a letter to explain it first."
Li Xiannan chuckled: "Right, that Flower Goddess is so beautiful. If she has an average appearance, it would be fine, but if she is so beautiful, it would be difficult to handle."
Long Chen put his hand on Li Xiannan's shoulder and asked with a smile: "I also want to ask you a question, what do you think of Gongsun Ming?"
Li Xiannan looked at Long Chen in confusion and asked: "Do you doubt Gongsun Ming? No need, Lao Zhuguo is loyal, there will be no problems with the Gongsun family."
Li Xiannan thought that Long Chen suspected Gongsun Ming of treason.
Long Chen was speechless and said: "I mean, what do you think of Gongsun Ming? Is it possible for him to be your husband?"
Li Xiannan looked at Long Chen in astonishment, and it took him a long time to react. His face instantly turned wine red, and he said angrily: "King Wu, don't talk nonsense! I, I, Gongsun Ming and I have nothing."
Long Chen laughed and said: "Look at your face, why are you so embarrassed? A female general is like this."
"male
It's time for marriage, and it's time for women to get married. I think Gongsun Ming likes you, and if you are interested, I will make the decision for you to propose marriage."
Li Xiannan spat: "Nonsense, Gongsun Ming is just a brat, how could he do this?"
Gongsun Ming was seven years younger than Li Xiannan, and because Li Xiannan led troops in battles, he looked like a man.
On the other hand, Gongsun Ming, as a son of a high family, is handsome and fair-skinned, and he does look like a little brother.
"Is it possible that you like someone who is tall and thick? Just tell me if you are willing or not? Give me a sweet word."
"Gongsun Ming is not young anymore. If you don't want to, I will stop thinking about him and find another good match for him!"
Long Chen sat down and looked at Li Xiannan nonchalantly.
"This has nothing to do with me. Don't be too troublesome. He will find it himself."
It's not a matter of Li Xiannan leaving, it's not a matter of staying, it's not a matter of agreeing, it's not a matter of refusing.
"Okay, I understand, you go ahead."
Long Chen shook his head and sighed, while Li Xiannan left with a blushing face.
"This Li Xiannan"
Long Chen got up and walked to Gongsun Ming's room.
"King Wu."
Gongsun Ming was preparing to return to Jinling when Long Chen came in and stopped immediately.
"My grandfather and I have a very good relationship."
Long Chen almost said that your sister and I have a good relationship. He felt it was inappropriate, so he changed his mind and said Gongsun Yun.
"Yes, my grandfather often said that King Wu is a genius that comes only once in a thousand years."
Gongsun Ming respected Long Chen very much.
The world was pacified, the ghost clan was defeated, the Northern Hu surrendered, the southern barbarians were subdued, civil and martial arts were governed, and the world became the lord.
"Lao Zhuguo is too praised."
Long Chen sat down and asked: "You are not young anymore, it's time to announce your marriage."
"I think there are many ministers in the court whose daughters are suitable for you. When we passed by the capital, I discussed it with Lao Zhuguo. When we return to Yuncheng, I will ask the Holy Father to grant you a marriage."
Gongsun Ming was anxious and immediately said: "It's not urgent. I'll take a look. I don't like what the family has arranged."
Long Chen smiled awkwardly and said: "That's it. Forget it over there. I thought you and Li Xiannan are a good match. In this case, I will introduce other generals to Li Xiannan."
Gongsun Ming was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, and he asked in a low voice: "I'm just afraid that the immortal man won't want to."
Long Chen laughed and said, "You idiot, how do you know she doesn't want to if you don't ask?"
Gongsun Ming suddenly said: "Oh. Thank you so much, King Wu!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I know your intentions. When I pass by the capital, I will discuss it with Lao Zhuguo and then report it to the Holy One to grant you a marriage."
Gongsun Ming was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, King Wu."
Long Chen stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, wait for the good news."
Stay overnight in Heling County that night.
Early the next morning, Long Chen and others got up and walked towards Jinling City.
Don't be in a hurry on your way back, the road to Jinling is easy to walk.
Long Chen and Flower God walked in front, while Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan walked in the back.
Originally, the two of them walked side by side when they went out, but today they both deliberately avoided each other and rarely spoke.
"Sir, did the two of them quarrel?"
Li Heiniu looked back and asked strangely.
Mao San teased: "Don't you see? There is something wrong with the two of them."
Li Heiniu asked: "Is there a problem? Impossible. How can there be a problem with the Gongsun family and General Li?"
Song Yu smiled and said: "Forget it, don't tell him."
Li Heiniu was confused and asked: "Sir, what do you mean?"
Long Chen smiled but didn't answer.
After walking for a long time from Heling County to Jinling, we finally arrived at Jinling.
Walking into the south gate, Li Heiniu exclaimed: "Jinling City is so prosperous, it is no worse than the capital city."
Long Chen said: "The territory of Nanliang is larger than that of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the population here is also larger. Jinling City used to be more prosperous."
The five of them, Li Heiniu, are all from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The last time they came here was when they destroyed Nanliang.
When there was war and chaos, it was natural that prosperity could not be seen, but now we can see it.
The officials in Jinling City did not receive the news. Long Chen, Gongsun Ming, and Li Xiannan suddenly returned, and the officials in the city hurriedly came to pay their respects.
"Meet King Wu."
Qi Wenhai is at the front, he and Long Chen are old acquaintances.
"Brother Qi, are you still used to being in Jinling?"
Long Chen stepped forward and gave him a bear hug. Qi Wenhai smiled and said: "I'm used to it. The climate here is similar to that of my hometown."
The officials of Jinling City had long heard that Qi Wenhai and Long Chen had a good relationship, but today they found out that the two of them were actually considered brothers.
"Everyone, go back and do whatever you need to do."
Long Chen dismissed all the officials, and the Flower God arranged a separate residence. Long Chen stayed in Jinling.
After being separated for several years, Long Chen and Qi Wenhai drank for two days.
The five of them, Li Heiniu, went on a shopping spree in Jinling City. They left the things in the left-behind residence and took them with them when they returned to Qielan Country.
Three days later, Long Chen continued to walk back.
Crossing the river and following the official road, we returned to the capital.
After arriving at the capital, Long Chen didn't see Qing Meng. Shui Yun and the others returned to the palace first.
When Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan heard that Long Chen had suddenly returned, they ran out in surprise.
"You're back!"
Di Yu was slightly overjoyed and hugged Long Chen. Di Xingwan was more reserved and just laughed.
"I'm back. I'm only staying for one day and will return to Yuncheng tomorrow."
Long Chen pinched Di Yuwei's buttocks and whispered, "I'll spend the night in your room tonight."
Di Yu's cheeks turned red and he nodded slightly.
Emperor Xingwan realized something was wrong and asked: "What are you talking about?"
