In Chang'an City, the carriages and horses were sparkling, and on Zhuque Street, the Xuanjia Army, full of bloody aura, escorted Tang Jian and his party slowly toward the imperial city.
Because Xiao Changle kept crying and fussing along the way, and kept trying new ways to escape, even using poison on his body, but it caused a lot of trouble for the Xuan Jia Army and the others. In the end, the person could only be locked in a carriage, and the prince Li Chengqian accompanied him and took care of him.
The imperial army stopped the Xuanjia Army at the entrance of the imperial city. According to the rules, troops going out to fight are not allowed to enter Chang'an wearing armor, and they should disarm outside Chang'an City. However, the Xuanjia Army had an escort mission and could only make a special exception.
Changsun Wuji has been waiting for a long time.
The Xuanjia troops all dismounted and disarmed on the spot.
Zhang Shigui, Zhai Changsun, and Li Junxian came forward to greet them.
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty is waiting at Tai Chi Hall. You can go in on your own, no notification is needed."
Zhang Shigui asked: "Uncle, the prince and the princess..."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Don't worry, just leave the person to me. I will take him directly to the Li Zheng Hall of the harem and hand it over to the queen."
Zhang Shigui breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Very good, very good. It is safest to leave it to the Queen."
"What? What's wrong?" Changsun Wuji asked in confusion.
Zhang Shigui was embarrassed to say it, and even Zhai Changsun didn't dare to say it. Li Junxian smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know, in order to protect the safety of the prince and princess, the champion and Marshal Li stayed behind and let us escort them all the way non-stop. Go back to Chang'an."
"The little princess's character was determined to bring a few strange beasts back to save people. We suffered a lot along the way, so we had to come up with a bad idea and lock her and the prince in the carriage, otherwise we wouldn't be able to bring them back."
Changsun Wuji expressed his understanding and walked towards the carriage with a smile. Next to him, Fang Yiai and Ma Sandao were guarding each other. Changsun Wuji nodded to Ma Sandao, and then patted Fang Yiai on the shoulder. Encouragement: "Good boy, you have made a meritorious service again. Go and enter the Tai Chi Hall with General Zhang and the others. Your father is also there."
"But the prince and princess..." Fang Yiai asked honestly.
Changsun Wuji burst out laughing, "Don't worry, they won't mess around after entering the palace."
Li Junxian came over and took the room and said, "Don't worry, I am the uncle of the prince and the princess."
Fang Er scratched his head, bowed to Changsun Wuji, and then accompanied Li Junxian and others in.
"General Ma, please come in too. We haven't seen you for many years. His Majesty misses you very much."
Masandao arched his hands and followed in.
Behind the carriage was Tang Jian's envoy. Changsun Wuji said to everyone: "Everyone, please go back to Honglu Temple for some repairs. Your Majesty will also summon you later."
Tang Jian took his people and turned around and went to Honglu Temple.
Changsun Wuji walked to the carriage and asked, "Chengqian, Changle, are you okay?"
Li Chengqian replied respectfully: "We are fine. Uncle, don't open the door. My sister is disobedient."
This...this child.
Changsun Wuji shook his head helplessly, and could only board the carriage, sit next to the driver, and personally lead the way and drive straight to the harem.
On the steps at the entrance of the Li Zheng Palace, the queen kept looking around. The moment she saw the carriage, she unconsciously trotted down the steps to greet it.
"Brother, where are Chengqian and Changle? Are they still okay?"
Changsun Wuji pointed to the carriage, then got out of the car and opened the carriage door. Inside were two brothers and a sister with haggard faces.
Li Chengqian urged: "Little sister, stop losing your temper. Are you not going to see me, Queen Mother?"
The moment Empress Changsun saw a pair of children, her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, "Gan'er, Li Zhi..."
The moment Li Chengqian turned his head and saw his mother, the calmness on his face disappeared. The grievances and sadness accumulated in his chest for several months suddenly burst out. He burst into tears, ran out of the carriage and hugged the queen directly. : "Mother..."
There was such a deep love between mother and son that Changsun Wuji beside him couldn't help but rub his sore eyes.
The queen patted her son's back and said softly and apologetically: "Gordon, it's my mother's fault. I shouldn't have beaten you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have run away from home and suffered so much..."
"No, it's not the mother, it's the child who is too stubborn. If the mother educates her right, the child will study hard in the future and never be disobedient again..." Li Chengqian also started to repent.
In the carriage, Xiao Changle curled his lips and looked at the scene of the two hugging each other and crying. For some reason, he wanted to cry too. No, I can't cry, hum, they locked me up all the way, I, I...
The queen saw her daughter in the carriage, beckoned and said: "Li Zhi, come down quickly and let the queen see if she has lost weight? You child... you are so young and you are so stubborn that you want to go to war? What nonsense! What should I do if something goes wrong? Throw it away. It's not enough to have your brother alone, so you also run away from home? Do you want your mother to worry to death? "
Wow……
Princess Changle in the carriage couldn't hold herself any longer and burst into tears. He got out of the carriage, jumped directly on the queen's back, hugged her neck and refused to let go, crying more pitifully by one person than the two just now.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. Come on, hurry up and go back to the palace with your mother. Tell your mother carefully, your father and I have been worried a lot in the past few months."
"Brother, leave the two children to me. You should go to Tai Chi Hall to do your work."
The queen walked into the Lizheng Hall with her children, while Changsun Wuji went back to resume his duties with the emperor.
On the steps of Tai Chi Hall, Emperor Li Er personally stood at the entrance of the hall to greet him. Zhang Shigui and others saw him from a distance and hurriedly ran over to pay their respects.
Li Er helped several people up one by one and said with emotion: "I want to thank you all for escorting two disobedient children back all the way."
Zhang Shigui and others quickly humbled themselves.
Li Er walked up to Ma Sandao, stretched out his hands to hug each other's arms, his eyes were full of relief, "General Ma, if it weren't for this opportunity, I'm afraid you would never want to see me again in this life. How about it, I How about the new leader chosen for the Detachment of Women?”
Ma Sandao solemnly performed a military salute and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Ma Sandao, deputy general of the Women's Army, is reporting to you. Everyone in the Women's Army is willing to follow Her Royal Highness Princess Changle to protect the home and country, defend the territory and open up borders!"
Li Er laughed loudly, "Okay! The famous general Ma Sandao back then is back. Come, bring the gift."
A chamberlain walked out holding a tray, which contained an imperial edict, a set of clothes, and a seal. "Back then, you refused to accept the founding Dukeship because of a knot in your heart. But in the Tang Dynasty, we will reward you for your merits and punish you for your mistakes." , how can you chill the heart of the hero? Today, you can no longer refuse. Lord Liao."
Ma Sandao looked embarrassed, but seeing the emperor's eyes, he could only accept it bravely.
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of myself. I have made no achievements for many years and drank to drown my sorrows, but now I have been named a Duke. I think of the champion marquis who cut off our throne not long ago. He is a marquis with outstanding military exploits. I am... ashamed."
The emperor laughed loudly and said: "Are you talking about that boy Xiao Rui? Don't compare with him. Go and ask. He, the champion, is more majestic than all the founding fathers."
Zhang Shigui agreed with a smile: "Yes, many princes have said in private that if they could exchange their princes for their own princes, who among us wouldn't want the position of champion prince? Unfortunately, without the prince's ability, other people's champion princes would not only Not only is it a title, but it is also a skill. No one is unconvinced."
Ma Sandao nodded. Indeed, no one was dissatisfied with the Marquis' ability.
Li Er said with a smile: "Don't worry, you must have received the intelligence from the front line. The battle ahead is safe. The night attack was overturned that night. Xiao Rui is fine. Come, enter the main hall and tell me about this battle in detail." "
