Zhao Xuanyi walked very boringly during the next journey, either camping in the wild or resting in an inn in the city. In order to keep his whereabouts secret, Li Yukun ordered everyone not to leave the city as long as they entered the city. Zhao Xuanyi also guessed that it must be Li Hanyan. I was caught sneaking out at night!
After a journey of twenty-three consecutive days, I finally returned to the capital. Not far away, I saw the gate of the capital. Hundreds of soldiers lined up on both sides of the gate. There was an endless stream of merchants and merchants coming and going at the gate, and there were countless people. , the wide city gate now turned into a crowded narrow alley!
And anyone who wants to enter the city must be inspected by the soldiers at the city gate. If they carry any contraband, they will be taken away and questioned. It can be seen that these soldiers are very serious and check everyone carefully.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei who was standing aside: "Brother Shen, what kind of contraband do these soldiers usually check for?"
"That's a lot. Weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, or some royal items, as long as they are not things that ordinary people should get, they are contraband and will be carefully investigated!" Shen Wei was very excited at the moment, and finally I'm back. I wonder how the master is doing now? I must be so happy to see my second son who has now been reborn!
Li Yukun looked at Li Hanrui who was standing aside, "Who is on duty today?"
Li Hanrui looked from a distance and took a closer look, "Commander Father, he seems to be Han Tianliang from the Hunting Tiger Camp!"
Li Yukun nodded, "Let's go ahead and let's go into the city in batches, so as not to cause a commotion, and leave twenty people outside the city, on standby at any time!"
"Yes!" Li Hanrui looked at Liu Bo, "You enter five people every half an hour. There is no need to cause trouble innocently. After the capital, go directly back to the general's mansion, leaving twenty people outside the city to listen to orders. If anyone dares to cause trouble, Direct military action!"
"I obey my orders!" After Liu Bo finished speaking, he began to make arrangements!
Li Yukun waved his hand and took Li Hanyan, Li Hanrui, three maids, Shen Wei and Zhao Xuanyi. These people started to walk towards the city gate. Zhao Xuanyi was very curious, is this the capital of the Ming Dynasty? I have to broaden my horizons this time!
When several people arrived at the city gate, a soldier stepped forward to stop them, "Guys, what's in your car?"
Li Hanrui smiled, "Of course the carriage is filled with people!"
"Let's take a look!" The soldier guarding the city had a very arrogant attitude. As he said this, he walked over and planned to check inside the carriage.
Zhao Xuanyi didn't pay attention. He was the one inside. He could look at it if he wanted to. But at this time, Li Hanyan didn't want to. She sat on the horse and raised Fang Tian's painted halberd. With a wave of her hand, Fang Tian painted the halberd's crescent moon. Lift it directly to the soldier's neck, "How dare you! I blind you, don't you see whose carriage this is?"
When the soldiers guarding the city saw that the woman was carrying such a large weapon, their faces changed with fright, and they hurriedly shouted, "Brother, someone is making trouble here!"
At this moment, Han Tianliang, who was sitting in the city gate cave drinking tea, heard someone making trouble and quickly ran over with more than a dozen soldiers. He was about to yell loudly when he saw the middle-aged man at the head and was frightened [Plop! 】 Kneeling on the ground with a cry, "General? The city guard Han Tianliang greets the general!"
In one sentence, all the soldiers were frightened and knelt down, not daring to speak any more! When the people saw it, they didn't know what was going on. After all, not many people knew Li Yukun, so they were all here to watch the fun.
Li Hanyan looked at the soldier beside her, her eyes widened, "Do you still want to check?"
"No, no, no... I made a mistake!" The soldiers guarding the city hurriedly knelt down and apologized to Li Hanyan!
After Li Yukun saw it, he smiled slightly, "Why is this necessary? Han Yan, how long have you been out of the capital? You actually forgot the rules and didn't punish you when I came home. Han Tianliang, long time no see!"
Han Tianliang smiled and did not dare to get up. "Yes, General, you haven't been back for five years! Brothers miss you very much!"
Li Yukun pointed at the carriage, "No matter what, the rules cannot be broken. Check the carriage quickly so I can go home!"
"No, no, no, how can the general's carriage be inspected and let go directly?" Han Tianliang said with a smile.
"How can this be done? If this reaches the ears of the emperor, wouldn't I be asking for trouble? Don't waste my time, hurry up!" Li Yukun said very kindly, and did not seem to be angry because of the soldiers' obstruction. !
Han Tianliang's face was filled with confusion, and he finally looked at the soldiers beside him, "Check quickly and then let us go!"
"Yes!" The soldier stood up, came to the carriage, and looked at Li Hanyan, who was holding Fangtian's painted halberd. Holding a fist, "Miss Third, I'm offended!" He opened the curtain of the carriage and took a closer look, and saw a man sitting inside. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment!
"Inspection is correct, let go!" the soldier shouted.
Han Tianliang stood up in a hurry and moved out of the way. Li Yukun led everyone into the capital, and the people around him dispersed!
When Zhao Xuanyi saw this scene, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Li Hanyan came here today not to protect himself, but to deliberately give the city defenders a disdain. But didn't Li Yukun secretly enter the capital? Isn't this completely exposed? What is Li Yukun doing?
Li Yukun looked at Li Hanrui, "Hanrui, you guys go home first. I haven't been back for a long time. I don't know if the teahouse in Lixia Lane is still there. I'll go have a cup of fragrant tea and go back later. Tell your mother, don't worry." !”
"Yes!" Li Hanrui didn't say much. He seemed to know something. He flicked the reins and left with the others!
Li Yukun, on the other hand, walked alone in the other direction, looking around to see if anyone was following him! Without the armor and military uniform, he was not very conspicuous, and he quickly blended into the crowd and disappeared!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the street outside. After a closer look, he was really surprised. He saw that the ground in the capital was not ordinary. The roads were paved with stone slabs and the streets were swept with clean water. The ground was very clean, and the streets were busy with traffic and people. That's all. The number of people can be expressed in terms of congestion.
And not only the people of the Ming Dynasty, but also occasionally some foreigners can be seen. Although they can't tell which country they are from, their beards and slender faces don't look like they are from the Central Plains!
Shen Wei looked at Li Hanrui who was riding on horseback. "Second Young Master, since we have arrived in the capital, I will take the young master home. Please report your troubles to the general. I will definitely let you come to thank me in a few days!"
Li Hanrui did not stop him and nodded lightly, "Okay, let's go back. It's been a year since we left. Mrs. Zhao must be very worried about Xuanyi!"
"Thank you!" Shen Wei looked at the man driving the carriage, "Please follow me!" After saying that, he flicked the reins and led the way. The carriage also separated from Li Hanrui and others. Zhao Xuanyi glanced at Li Hanyan, and Li Hanyan shook her chin indifferently. , don’t look at Zhao Xuanyi.
Zhao Xuanyi was not angry either. He looked at Zi Yuan aside and tapped his lips with his finger. Zi Yuan seemed to remember something and gave Zhao Xuanyi a beautiful smile. Zhao Xuanyi also smiled, then put down the curtain of the carriage and sighed softly. And sixty-two smiles!
Lychee looked at Ziyuan curiously, "Sister Ziyuan, why are you laughing?"
"Ah? Oh, I haven't been back to the capital for a long time. I'm very happy!" Zi Yuan said casually.
Li Hongtian looked at Li Hanyan, "Go home first, wait for father to come back, if there is nothing else, you can come out to play!"
Li Hanyan pouted, "Do you think my father will let me go out to play casually? You must tell me that a big girl should stay at home and take care of her husband and raise her children. It's annoying to hear it! Can I go and play now?" Will I go back when my father comes back?"
"What nonsense? If father knew, why wouldn't he break your legs? Is it possible that you don't miss your mother?" Li Hanrui asked.
With one sentence, Li Hanyan did not dare to play any more. She flicked the reins and ran towards her home. Li Hanrui smiled and slowly walked towards the general's mansion with the other three maids. After all, you can't ride a horse quickly when entering the city. There are too many people on the street. If you lose control of your horse and injure someone, you will be prosecuted!
At this moment, Li Yukun appeared outside a secret teahouse and handed the horse to the waiter. "Xiao Er, is there any good tea recently?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, we have new famous teas from various places here every day. I wonder which one you like?"
"Of course it's Jiangnan's Yanyu Green Willow Tea!" Li Yukun said.
When the waiter heard this, his eyes became very serious. He looked around and saw that no one seemed to be following him. He hurriedly smiled, "Yes, I just arrived this morning. You can come with me!"
As the waiter said, he led Li Yukun into the teahouse. In the lobby on the first floor, there were more than a dozen people drinking tea. They were dressed very ordinary and looked like a group of ordinary people, but their eyes were sharp and they didn't talk. They were quiet. Sitting quietly on a stool drinking tea, it looks very weird!
Li Yukun was taken to the second floor. The waiter hurriedly left. Li Yukun saw that there was only one table on the second floor. A woman wearing a veil and a white dress was sitting there drinking tea. Four beautiful women stood beside her. Two in red, two in green!
Li Yukun came outside several women, lifted up his clothes and knelt down, "Your Majesty, Li Yukun, pays homage to the eldest princess!"
And the person Li Yukun met was the eldest princess of the current dynasty, the biological sister of one of the emperor's mothers, the seventh in line, Princess Yuechen, Zhu Yuejun!
When Zhu Yuejun saw Li Yukun, he did not move, but raised his jade hand: "General Li, please get up quickly. You have guarded the border for me for so many years in the Ming Dynasty. You have worked hard for me, so you don't need to be polite. Please come and give me a seat!"
"Yes!" A woman in a red dress walked aside, took a wooden stool and placed it next to Li Yukun.
"Thank you, Princess!" Li Yukun stood up and sat gently on the stool. "Princess, after receiving the secret order from the Holy Lord, I started to rush to the capital. I wonder what the Holy Lord meant?"
Zhu Yuejun turned to look out the window, seeming to be thinking about something. After a long time, he said, "How is the matter I asked you to investigate?"
"Yes, I am incompetent, and I didn't find out much. But according to what I checked, it was said that the Tatar leader received a letter from the city, and then suddenly withdrew his troops. What exactly was said in it, and who wrote it, I don't know. And I know that the letter has been burned!" Li Yukun said with regret.
"How are the injuries to our Ming soldiers this time?" Zhu Yuejun asked softly.
"No muscles or bones were injured, only the skin was broken. The total loss of soldiers was less than 6,000, but the enemy was injured more than 10,000!" Li Yukun said.
"Not bad!" Zhu Yuejun said with a smile, "I heard you picked up a treasure this time?"
When Li Yukun heard this, a happy smile appeared on his face, "He is the fiancé of my third daughter and the second son of Mr. Zhao Mingqing!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Yuejun nodded lightly, "I've heard all about it. He led eighty people to compete with a thousand people. When weapons were in short supply, he was able to kill more than half of the enemy with very little loss. He was like a live bird of Tatar." Third Prince Latu, this boy is really surprising!”
Li Yukun's heart sank, and sweat appeared on his forehead. He thought to himself: Why does the eldest princess know so much in detail? She knows what she knows? This is establishing prestige for yourself! Li Yukun's face was still smiling, "Yes! I heard that this person's reputation was not good before, but this time is enough to prove that the rumors are not credible!"
