A troop of Tang Army cavalry that had been beaten by the wind and rain came to the outside of Chang'an City with great momentum.
Although there was no welcome, Xu Yunyan finally felt the joy of returning a victory as a general after returning with an army of hundreds of people.
In the past, I led troops by myself. Although I was very proud when I defeated eight generals and led troops back to the court at Xuanwu Gate, it felt completely different from being recalled after repelling foreign enemies.
Now Xu Yunyan still feels that he was responsible for defeating Tuli until almost the entire army was annihilated. Li Shimin wants to celebrate for himself. Now that he is an earl, will Li Shimin be assigned the title of marquis?
At that time, his status will be improved again.
Xu Yunyan thought happily, leading more than a hundred cavalry into Chang'an City. With his current rank and position, there is no problem in leading troops into the city and into his own courtyard, not to mention his status as a count.
When Xu Yunyan and Zhai Peng arrived at the courtyard, they looked at the locked door with great curiosity.
Li Dejiang went to the Hanlin Academy to take up a post. Could it be that Zhang Ping moved out? How could there be no one? The lock is a bit rusty, but it doesn't look like it was just locked when I went shopping.
Xu Yunyan thought about the same scene again, pulled out the knife from his waist, and opened the lock on the door with one blow, leaving Zhai Peng who was following him stunned.
The hundreds of soldiers behind him were also a little surprised.
Is this really the general's home? It seems a bit too arrogant to use a knife to break the lock when entering a house, right?
While they were muttering here, Xu Yunyan opened the door and saw that no one had lived in the courtyard for a long time, and he couldn't help but become more curious.
What's going on here? Did something happen to Zhang Ping and Li Dejiang?
Xu Yunyan was surprised and walked out of the gate quickly, just in time to see two patrolling Wuhou walking by not far away. One of them was Niu Er, but he saw that Niu Er's clothes were a little more gorgeous than before. It should be Got promoted.
Xu Yunyan saw Niu Er, and Niu Er also saw this side.
Xu Yunyan was surprised when he saw a group of Tang soldiers standing at the door. Before he could figure out what was going on, a general in the distance had already waved to him.
Niu Er came over reluctantly, but as soon as he came over, he saw Xu Yunyan hurriedly saluting here.
"General Li, are you back?"
Xu Yunyan nodded as a greeting.
"Niu Er, do you know where Li Dejiao and his wife went? Aren't they living in my courtyard? I haven't seen me like this for so long. Did they move away?"
Xu Yunyan asked Niu Er here, and Niu Er immediately said, "In order to let General Li know, Mr. Li will not be released as an official. He took his wife to Huainan Road, as if he was going to Chuzhou to take office."
"Where? Chuzhou took office?"
Xu Yunyan suddenly became curious. Chuzhou could be regarded as half of his hometown. However, when Xu Yunyan was sighing here, the Niu Er said another earth-shattering sentence.
"General, Mr. Li seems to be bringing your sister with him."
"With my sister?"
Xu Yunyan never expected that Yue'er would go to Chuzhou with Li Dexuan. However, there were Wang Ergou's mother and two brothers from the Niu family in Chuzhou, as well as the fellow villagers from Zhaojia Village. It would be easy to go back. It is better than Xue Li who is waiting in Chang'an City for joining the army and now doesn't know where to hang out.
But I returned to the capital myself, didn't I investigate where Xue Li is now? Transfer him north to serve under General Li? During the war against the Turks next year, I have to give him some credit no matter what, so that the young couple can get married as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be inappropriate for them to be separated on this day.
Just after Xu Yunyan had arranged the hundreds of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty who were following him in his courtyard, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"What's going on? Aren't there two brothers standing guard outside the door?"
Xu Yunyan looked at the door suspiciously. Zhai Peng, Xu Yunyan's little follower, also looked at the door hurriedly, but after taking a quick look, he immediately ran towards the door and opened it to see what was going on outside.
It was just the opening of the door that shocked Zhai Peng. Outside, there were several soldiers in Forbidden Army armor knocking on the door. One of their hands was still raised there. If Zhai Peng had opened the door a little later, this hand would have fallen. Then Zhai Peng's face was photographed.
Looking at them, Zhai Peng then looked at the two soldiers standing guard at the door, "You two idiots, you don't even know to come in and report someone."
Zhai Peng is very dissatisfied with these two guys here, and these two guys are quite entangled here.
"It's not that we won't go back and report, it's just that they..."
But before the two of them finished their excuses, the Imperial Guardsman who opened the door looked at Zhai Peng, who was wearing a school captain's uniform, and cupped his fists.
"This general is very polite. Li Daochuan, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, is here to invite General Zhongwu to the palace to discuss matters under your Majesty's order."
"Oh, what's going on?"
Zhai Peng, who didn't care at first, said "oh" and looked at the pro-military brigade commander Li Daochuan in front of him. No matter what, there was one thing that everyone present knew, this was definitely a member of the clan.
After he saw that Zhai Peng didn't move, he wanted to say something else, but the two soldiers next to him, who Zhai Peng said were wooden and from the north, hurriedly stepped forward and pushed him.
"Captain Zhai, His Majesty has arranged to find the general. Who are you?"
At this moment Zhai Peng reacted, "Oh, look at me, I'm scared to death. Go talk to the general now."
Zhai Peng dropped this sentence, which relieved the embarrassment just now, and Li Daochuan was full of good impressions of him. Regardless of whether he just said something, it was because His Majesty was scared to move when Xu Yunyan was looking for him, or what happened, anyway, this matter It's quite wonderful.
After Xu Yunyan heard Zhai Peng's report, she looked at him and pointed at him, "What you do is too..."
But before Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Zhai Peng was scratching his head.
"General, it was my fault. I shouldn't have been so careless."
Xu Yunyan looked at Zhai Peng and said, "I was wrong. I lowered my head to admit my mistake. I changed my mind and patted him on the shoulder."
"Be careful and don't cause trouble. This is Chang'an."
After Xu Yunyan said this, he quickly walked forward to the entrance of the courtyard and gave Li Daochuan a fist.
"Brigade Commander Li is busy. I would like to ask Brigade Commander Li to lead the way. I will go to meet His Majesty soon."
"This is a great thing to say!"
Li Daochuan returned the salute and raised his hand, "General, please!"
Li Daozhen said that he led more than ten imperial soldiers to guard Xu Yunyan and rushed towards the imperial city quickly.
But the further they walked toward the imperial city, the more curious Xu Yunyan became.
"Why doesn't this look like a place to meet His Majesty?"
Hearing what Xu Yunyan said, Li Daochuan nodded.
"The general has a sharp eye. This is the way to see the Supreme Emperor."
Xu Yunyan was a little speechless about this.
Wasn't it summoned by His Majesty? How did he become the Supreme Emperor?
"The Great Emperor? Is it because the seeds are ripe?"
After Xu Yunyan said something to himself, Li Daochuan made a silent gesture.
"General, these things are indeed what the general thought. The seeds are indeed ripe. But Your Majesty, you must not tell outsiders again if you have a decree!"
"I understand, I understand. Please bear with me, General!"
Xu Yunyan's eyes lit up. It turned out that the potatoes were ripe. It was right to count the days. It had been so long. It was strange that the potatoes were not ripe. I just don’t know why Li Shimin is so anxious to find him back?
But you should make a decision after seeing the seeds, right?
Hurrying slowly, a group of people quickly arrived at the palace where Li Yuan was located after passing through layers of communication. This time, Li Yuan was wearing a dragon robe, Li Shimin was also wearing a dragon robe, and even the prince Li Chengqian was also a noble prince. apparel.
The three of them together are spectacular. After all, the three emperors may be in the same frame.
Not far away from the three of them, there were already guards cleaning up some obstructive plants in the open space in front of them.
Soon Li Daochuan came forward to report,
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and General Zhongwu Li Ying are here."
As Li Daochuan said this, Li Yuan looked at him.
"Oh, little Chuanzi, do you still need to be so polite to us? Just wait and watch the excitement."
After Li Yuan spoke, Li Shimin nodded to Li Daochuan, and Li Chengqian motioned to Li Daochuan to calm down and wait here. After all, Li Daochuan was also Li Shimin's brother and Li Chengqian's elder.
Although Li Daochuan and Li Chengqian were similar in age, their seniority was still on display here. He hurriedly ran to Li Chengqian's side and said something.
"Prince, do you think this output is really that incredible?"
But as soon as he said this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Isn't General Li here with this incredible amount? We can find out if we dig it out?"
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Xu Yunyan hurriedly stepped forward.
"My loyal general Li Ying has met His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
After Xu Yunyan saluted, everyone hurriedly pulled him up.
"Get up, get up."
Seeing Li Shimin take action himself, the guards serving beside him couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts. This really penetrated the emperor's heart. Li Shimin pulled him up and waved, "You all can get off."
After a word, except for Li Daochuan who was guarding here, the other soldiers, including the serving eunuchs, etc., all retreated. Watching them go out, Li Shimin pointed at the potatoes in front of him.
"This should be mature, right?"
Xu Yunyan looked at the withered yellow leaves and nodded, "It's mature."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Aiqing, to dig it out and see how many potatoes it can grow from that lump of mud, and see what its yield is."
Li Shimin made arrangements again. Xu Yunyan responded hurriedly.
"I obey the decree."
Xu Yunyan hurriedly stepped forward and took out the knife from the room to start, but this suddenly frightened Li Shimin, Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others.
"General, wait!"
After Li Yuan stopped him, he said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You don't even need tools, just use a knife. What if you get hurt?"
"Don't bother me, Your Majesty!"
Xu Yunyan looked at Li Yuan here and said, "Didn't the Emperor see this when it was planted? It was cut into pieces. As long as there is a sprout, it can grow a potato plant, even if it is cut into pieces." Now, after planting it in the ground, wait for a while and let it grow new ones. Your Majesty, do you think this is okay?"
Li Yuan was already very satisfied with Xu Yun. Seeing Xu Yunyan say this, he nodded.
"Okay, it's up to you."
After Li Yuan said this, the knife in Xu Yunyan's hand was quickly inserted into the ground. The quality of the knife was good, and the potatoes were dug out in just a few strokes.
Just looking at the more than ten fist-sized mud lumps on this potato, Li Shimin was surprised.
"These...are these all potatoes? Can they all be eaten?"
"Your Majesty, these are all potatoes, and they are all edible."
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin was trembling here.
"Is it really okay to eat so many potatoes?"
"Your Majesty, there is no problem. These are really potatoes and they are really edible."
Xu Yunyan didn't know why Li Shimin was not sure whether he could eat it. Who made the potato yield so amazing?
"Great! This is such a blessing! With such a good seed, I, the Tang Dynasty, don't have to worry!"
Li Shimin was yelling here regardless of his status.
