On this day, Li Suo had a delicious meal in his yard.
Not only does he have a huge table of Central Plains delicacies, but he also has a variety of Central Plains tea products and fine wines from many places, all of which are included in his inventory.
In the evening, he used Qi Menstruation to shed the hair of a sheep, and took it to everyone to make a roasted whole sheep.
As for what he and Li Jing talked about in the room in the end, no one knows.
But in short, Li Kuo refused to return to the Central Plains.
The next day, Li Jing led everyone to say goodbye.
The yard returned to silence, except for the unripe wheat fields on all sides, swaying in the wind.
Li Suo played with the small purple clay pot and watched Li Jing's horse riding figure getting further and further away.
This kid is much taller than his father.
Behind him, Yuan Tiangang walked out with his hands behind his back.
The two were silent for a long time.
In the end, Li Xi laughed out loud: "It's a good thing I didn't listen to you back then——"
"It's not to my liking if I actually sit in that seat."
Yuan Tiangang raised his head, looked at the clear sky, and said hoarsely: "Of all the things in the world, what can be understood thoroughly."
Li Suo took a sip of tea in an easy-going manner and returned to his yard.
Then came his laughing voice.
"He can be a holy king——"
"It's worth waiting for you for three hundred years."
Yuan Tiangang opened his palms and looked at them, then chuckled and disappeared.
In the yard, Li Suo leaned comfortably on the lounge chair.

When he saw Qianwu, Jiangchen was very satisfied.
Now that Hanbao is married and has children, and Yinggou is playing soy sauce beside her, only Hou Qing is left talking like a fortune teller all day long.
It would be suitable if he could find a wife for him.
Bago and Yelvzhiwu now have a good relationship. I wonder if it’s because they both grew up on the grassland. There are some things that resonate with each other inexplicably.
When Li Jing came out of Twelve Cave, they had just traveled through most of the Miao territory.
Chi Meng has been hanging around Xian Ginseng these days, and she has experienced a mother's love that she has never experienced before.
As for the King of Snakes——
Miaojiang has been tormented by Du Gong for nearly ten years, and it is at a time when everything is waiting to be revitalized. In addition, with the intervention of the imperial court, he needs to make arrangements for construction and personnel transfer.
He is very busy now and can't see anyone all day long.
The previous plan to retire in the Central Plains has been abandoned.
What is worth mentioning is that Li Jing asked the owner of Dadong to untie the Gu worm on the Longquan treasure box, and then asked him to take the Miaojiang doll who was responsible for guiding Li Tang's descendants to find the treasure back to Twelve Cave.
Li Maozhen still had a lot of resentment towards Li Jing, but he was no longer suitable to stay in Twelve Cave, so he was taken to Yuan Tiangang's side, intending to make him truly understand the situation in the world and see the support of the people of the world for the emperor. Let him go free again.
This is the end of Miao Jiang and his party.
…………
"As for the officials who come here, they are mainly promoting school education and population statistics, as well as crop cultivation and research, etc. All of this requires dad to put some effort into it..."
On the way, Li Jing and King Hu walked side by side, discussing in a low voice the future of Miao territory.
Behind him, Xian Ginseng's hand was wrapped around the white snake that had followed Chi Meng for many years. In the past few years, he hasn't had many fights, but he has gained a lot of weight.
Xian Ginseng cultivated it again and gave it to Chi Meng.
"When you go back, please write to us more often. If you give birth to a baby, my mother will come to Luoyang to see you!"
Chi Meng was a little reluctant to leave, but still said happily: "I know! When you come to the Central Plains, I will take you and dad to eat delicious food all over the world!"
As she said that, she glanced at Li Jing, who had been talking to King Jiao, and lowered her voice.
"Xiao Guo Guo promised me many years ago, but he hasn't taken me there yet," she then said unconvinced
Lifting his chin: "We'll go by ourselves then!"
Xianshen squinted her eyes and smiled: "Alang is the emperor. There are so many things going on in a day, so you can't bother him."
Chi Meng was a little puzzled and said doubtfully: "Then mom, aren't you..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking and put these things away quickly!"
…………
Parting with King Jiao and the others in the small village, the continuous banners continued to fly and returned to the Central Plains.
Li Jing turned around and could see the figures of King Jiao and Xian Ginseng still standing there, not leaving for a long time.
There are many more relatives in the Miao border than in the Central Plains.
That pure and natural family affection made Li Jing feel a little nostalgic.
But he just turned around and climbed into the carriage.
In the carriage, the women talked and laughed.
The Empress, Chi Meng, Yelu Zhiwu and Bage, as well as the overly elegant surrender in the middle.
Also, Ji Ruxue, who was hostile to him at first sight, but eventually got to know each other slowly.
He rested his head on the back of his head and leaned against the car wall easily, with a smile on his face.
There are some things you should understand.

Western Region, Shazhou.
In the city lord's palace, there were women and children kneeling on the ground crying.
In the house, Cao Yijin, the governor of the Guiyi Army, lay on the bed with his face thin and dying.
He stared at the roof.
Next to him, Li Cunren leaned over the bed and chuckled softly.
"If you are homesick and your descendants are well, have you thought clearly about what you should and should not say later?"
"In the past two years, you also know my elder brother's ability. As long as you finish this last thing later, my elder brother will naturally treat you with respect."
There was silence in the room for a long time, Cao Yijin closed his eyes and nodded slowly.
Li Cunren laughed lightly and stood up with satisfaction.
After a while, countless people poured into the house.
Among them were generals from the Jin army in the past, as well as generals from the Guiyi army and representatives from various small tribes in Tubo and Uihe.
The leader is naturally Li Siyuan.
Cao Yijin's former confidant stood beside him with a sad look on his face.
"The deadline for Lord Cao is approaching, and he has specially summoned all of you to come here to make arrangements for your future affairs——"
Everyone was shocked, but saw his close followers helping the dying Cao Yijin up.
The latter panted slowly, but his eyes slowly moved across everyone's faces, and then stopped on Li Siyuan.
He waved reluctantly: "General Li, come closer..."
Li Siyuan strode forward, and then held Cao Yijin's hand with concern, with tears in his eyes.
"Mr. Cao——"
The latter was silent for a moment, then looked at the crowd and spoke as loud as he could: "General Li Siyuan, a man of upright moral character and a great talent. I am seriously ill now and can no longer afford to be in the position of returning to the rebel army. I would like to invite General Li... ...Temporarily for Jiedu... Recover the Beiting for a certain person and rebuild the Anxi Protectorate—"
Li Siyuan was instantly shocked, and then immediately declined.
But Cao Yijin had already closed his eyes, unable to speak any more.
Although everyone in the room was sad, they also spoke out together to persuade Li Siyuan to accept Cao Jiedushi's appointment to unify the Guiyi army and the tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers.

A man in green clothes and a bamboo hat pulled up the head of a corpse, felt for its pulse, and then put it down.
"Thousands of households are all dead."
"Um……"
The little man with an actor's facial makeup took his feet off the table, then stood up and walked out.
But he stopped at the sign outside the inn.
It has paper attached to it.
"Today, the Jiedu envoy Cao Yijin suddenly died of illness. The great cause of conquering the Western Regions was not achieved. He returned to the rebel army, senior generals, senior soldiers and civilians..."
The actor laughed dumbly, then tore it off casually.
He scoffed.
"Li Siyuan..."
"It's time to finish."
