Since Zhao Xuanyi was rescued, the fighting at the border has slowly dissipated. The Tatars and Oaras have withdrawn their armies respectively. After all, they have lost the threat now, and the Tatars and Oaras do not know whether the Far Eastern Army is still there, and their strength is inferior to that of the other side. Zhao Xuanyi, a general who used his troops like a god, was also rescued. There was no hope of victory anymore, so he might as well leave!
On the third day after Zhao Xuanyi was rescued and returned to the military camp, Shen Wei was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so he immediately prepared a carriage to transport the seriously injured Zhao Xuanyi to the capital as soon as possible. As long as he returned to his own territory, he would not be afraid of the enemy capturing him again!
Wang Heqing, Wang Dengdeng and his entourage, plus two hundred bodyguards, became their bodyguards. When Li Hanyan learned that Zhao Xuanyi was leaving, she also wanted to follow him back, but Li Yukun did not agree. After all, she did not know whether the other party would still be there. Killing someone is a turnaround, so now is the time when border officials are officially employing people.
Zi Yuan also advised him that there was no use for Li Hanyan to go back. With the relationship between Li Hanyan and Zhao Xuanyi, there was really no need to go back. Li Hanyan didn't know how to take care of people. For Zhao Xuanyi, the effect of Zi Yuan's return was far greater than that of Li Hanyan. After Zi Yuan With Yuan's persuasion, Li Hanyan stayed at the border, while Zi Yuan followed everyone back!
In order to take care of Zhao Xuanyi's condition along the way, the group did not rush. After all, they were in their own territory and were not afraid of foreign enemies coming to assassinate them, and there were so many brothers and more than 200 bodyguards!
Traveling slowly all the way, Zhao Xuanyi returned to the capital five days later, and the news spread throughout the capital. However, this time there was no cheerful welcome ceremony, but all kinds of boos and complaints. No matter how you say Zhao Xuanyi's identity, The general was captured by the enemy this time and was tortured. Who knows if he leaked the country's secrets!
The thinking of the people is actually very simple. As long as you are caught or defeated, you are no longer a hero in their eyes, and you are no longer the general respected by thousands of people. Ye Yaoming was defeated by the Japanese pirates, and now Zhao Xuanyi is captured by the Tatars. In fact, the results are the same!
Under the escort of more than 200 bodyguards, Zhao Xuanyi successfully returned home, but this time he was still seriously injured. Shen Wei ordered people to carry Zhao Xuanyi back to the backyard, while Wang Heqing and more than 200 bodyguards Shen Wei Everyone was treated well and not allowed to leave!
Du Xinyu was very happy to learn that Zhao Xuanyi was back. He was finally rescued. He took the crutches aside, and with Xiao Xing's help, Du Xinyu came to Zhao Xuanyi's room!
Zhao Xuanyi didn't even have the strength to sit up now, so he could only lie on the bed and admire him. When he heard the door open, Zhao Xuanyi turned his head and saw Du Xinyu limping in with a cane. Zhao Xuanyi's eyes widened.
Du Xinyu came to the bedside and saw the bandages all over Zhao Xuanyi's body. He immediately remembered the same situation as when Zhao Xuanyi came back from the Tianxian Sect. His two big eyes were full of tears. "Master, are you okay?"
Zhao Xuanyi shook his head, "You can't die, what's wrong with you? Why are you still on crutches?"
"Ah?" As soon as Du Xinyu heard this question, she knew that Shen Wei had not said anything about her injury. "It was just a few days ago when I went shopping and I accidentally fell and sprained my foot! It will be fine in a few days!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he felt relieved. Du Xinyu looked at Zhao Xuanyi lying on the bed quietly, feeling very painful in his heart. Although the wound was not on him, Du Xinyu also felt the same, and slowly stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Xuanyi's big hand. , gave Zhao Xuanyi a cute smile.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled. He didn't want to say anything and couldn't say anything. The two of them sat quietly like this. Zhao Xuanyi suddenly discovered that sometimes sitting like this is actually a happy thing. There are not so many worries. There is no need. It’s hard to think of anything, but everything is so peaceful!
Zi Yuan came in with ointment and bandages. When she saw Du Xinyu coming, Zi Yuan's face became a little stiff. Why was she still on crutches?
When Du Xinyu saw Zi Yuan coming back with various ointments in her hand, she immediately stood up, "Master, take a good rest first, and I'll go back first!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded lightly, and Du Xinyu left the room with Xiao Xing's help. Zi Yuan sat on the bedside with a cold face, slowly untied all the bandages on Zhao Xuanyi's body, and gently changed Zhao Xuanyi's dressing!
"Are you really dishonest? You just came back to find a beautiful girl?" Zi Yuan said calmly.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "What do you think I can do with my current physical condition? Xinyu came to see me!"
"Yes, yes, you are infinitely charming! I think you should be beaten lightly. You should be beaten to a disability by those Tatar people, so that I can stay by your side in the future, and the more others dislike you, the better!" Zi Yuan glared Looking at Zhao Xuanyi, he said.
Zhao Xuanyi tilted his head helplessly, "Am I not miserable enough now?"
Zi Yuan smiled, changed the ointment all over Zhao Xuanyi's body, and then bandaged Zhao Xuanyi with a new bandage!
Shen Wei walked in from the outside with a pot of hot water in his hand. After seeing Zhao Xuanyi changing the medicine, Shen Wei smiled, "Young Master, drink some hot water! You have endured enough this journey!"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei with a swollen face full of bruises, "Brother Shen, it's all thanks to you that this little life can come back!"
"What are you talking about, young master? You are better off safe than anything else, but young master, please ask Miss Ziyuan to give me the key to the underground treasure house. I have to pay back the money now!" Shen Wei said with some indignation. .
"Pay back the money? What money should I pay back?" Zi Yuan thought that Zhao Xuanyi was spending money outside buying things again!
Shen Wei turned his head and looked outside, "Du Xinyu came here just now. You saw it too. She borrowed 30,000 taels of silver from her father, and she paid double interest!"
"What did you say? She borrowed money from her father?" Zhao Xuanyi asked in surprise.
Shen Wei knew that Zhao Xuanyi had not heard about this matter, so he told everything about Du Xinyu's borrowing money, even the wounds on his body!
After Zhao Xuanyi and Zi Yuan heard this, they were both speechless. They didn't expect this little beauty to be so ruthless, even hurting themselves so hard!
After hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi's eyes were filled with mist. He didn't expect that this little girl's love for him had reached such an extent. Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zi Yuan, "Give the key to Brother Shen. In addition to Du Chun's money, your junior brother and sister You also have some money there, they escorted me back, it was a hard journey, you can decide how much you should pay, it’s not like we don’t have any!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei took the key and nodded gently, "Young Master, I think both the master and the madam know about your return. They...?"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "Don't let them come to see me, just say I stay behind closed doors to recuperate, and come see them when I get better, so as not to make them anxious!"
"Yes, I will order someone to tell the master right now! Is there anything else you need to explain, young master?" Shen Wei asked.
After hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi slowly shook his head. Now that things have happened, what else can he do? Although Zhao Xuanyi is seriously injured all over his body now, he feels very relaxed. He no longer has to worry about official affairs or the war at the border. As the saying goes, without an official, you are light-hearted! That’s cool!
The news of Zhao Xuanyi's return to Beijing spread throughout the capital almost in one morning. Zhao Mingqing and his wife wanted to come to see their son, but Shen Wei went there in advance and declined. In fact, it goes without saying that everyone understood the reason. The old lady felt distressed after hearing this. kept crying in the room!
The people in the capital were also talking a lot. In their eyes, Zhao Xuanyi was already a traitor. He was captured by the enemy and then released. If he had not made a deal with the enemy, who would believe him?
In a house in the capital, a man in black was drinking tea in the living room, and his men rushed in. "Sir, have you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
"Zhao Xuanyi is back. Is this kid a bastard? He's not dead yet? Didn't our plan fail?"
The man in black laughed loudly after hearing this, "Failure? When have you ever seen me do useless work? What will happen if he comes back now? He was captured by the enemy, lost the support of the people, lost his army, lost his glory, and gave away his token." , No military power! He was seriously injured and useless! He is nothing more than a toothless tiger now, why should he be afraid?"
When the subordinates heard this, they gave thumbs up repeatedly, "It's still the master's clever plan. Now Zhao Xuanyi is like a rat crossing the street. Everyone shouts to beat him. The glory of the past is gone!"
The man in black smiled coldly, "Where are we now? The second gift is waiting for him to open the gift box himself. This is the most interesting thing!"
"Now that Zhao Xuanyi has become like this, there must be many things happening and many people leaving him!"
"It's natural. Now that Zhao Xuanyi has lost the favor of the royal family, we don't have to worry anymore. When the eldest princess loses Zhao Xuanyi, she loses a pillar of support, and when Li Yukun loses Zhao Xuanyi, she loses an arm. This group of people always... I can’t see the current situation clearly!”
After the man in black finished speaking, he threw a golden sieve into the air, grabbed it tightly with his hand, and slowly opened his fingers. It showed three points. When the man saw it, he immediately laughed. It seemed that this was what he liked to see. Points reached!
In the Mingyue Palace, Nan Zhu came to Zhu Yuejun's side and said, "Princess, Zhao Xuanyi is back!"
Zhu Yuejun was very surprised: "You said Zhao Xuanyi is back?"
"Yes! She was rescued by Shen Wei. I heard that in order to save Zhao Xuanyi this time, Shen Wei mobilized all the forces he could mobilize. Tang Mi led the Far East Army, Baijun Hall, and the escort agency of Junior Brother and Junior Sister Shen Wei, etc. , and it took a desperate effort to rescue Zhao Xuanyi!"
After Zhu Yuejun heard this, she frowned and her face was very troubled, "How about Zhao Xuanyi?"
"No... not very good. I heard that he was tortured by the Tatars to extract a confession. Now he is seriously injured and can't get out of bed! After Zhao Xuanyi was rescued, the Tatar and Oara coalition forces also retreated. There is no longer any danger at the northern border! Nanzhu said softly.
After Zhu Yuejun heard this, the expression on her face became even more panicked. She was glad that Zhao Xuanyi was rescued, but she was also a little afraid that Zhao Xuanyi was back. Now Zhu Yuejun's position was very embarrassing. She thought about rescuing Zhao Xuanyi, but it was not this way. !
"Princess, let's... go?"
"No!" Zhu Yuejun immediately refused, his voice very firm, but with a hint of fear.
Seeing Zhu Yuejun's flustered expression, Nanzhu nodded lightly, "I know, my slave, there is one more thing. Just now Qilin Camp sent a discount to the eldest princess for all the military pay. Now Qilin Camp's food and grass are almost empty!"
Zhu Yuejun stared, "What food and grass do you want from me? Isn't Qilin Camp under the jurisdiction of the Tianshi Legion?"
"No! The jurisdiction of Qilin Camp belongs to Zhao Xuanyi, and now the Qilin Order is in your hands. You are now the commander-in-chief of Qilin Camp, and I should ask you for military pay!"
Zhu Yuejun threw the fold aside in anger, took the Qilin Camp fold, opened it, and Zhu Yuejun couldn't help but widen his eyes, "One hundred thousand taels of military pay? That much?"
"Qilin Camp has always consumed a lot of money, and one-third of it comes from food. The personnel stew meat once every three days, and the war horses have vegetables every five days. There are more than 20,000 people and horses, but it is a big expense!" Nanzhu said.
"Zhao Xuanyi never spent so much money before? What are you doing? Taking advantage of me?"
Nanzhu shook his head, "When Zhao Xuanyi was in charge before, Qilin Camp had other income as subsidies, such as dehydrated vegetables they made themselves, and then sold them to other military camps. They would clear out some bandit nests every now and then, and use the stolen money as Military pay and so on!”
"And since Zhao Xuanyi went to the border this time, Qilin Camp has been controlled by the eldest princess. All the external income has been lost, and he has been sitting on nothing, so it has become like this!"
Zhu Yuejun stared, "What are you talking about? Keep cooking the vegetables!"
"The technical core and various tools are in Zhao Xuanyi's hands. If he doesn't give them or teach them, who can make them?"
"Then go and clear out the bandits? This is not only for military pay, but also to help the Ming Dynasty eradicate evil. It is a good thing!" Zhu Yuejun shouted.
Nanzhu's face turned a little ugly. "Princess, did you not read the information sent this morning? In order to save Zhao Xuanyi this time, all the main members of the first batch of Qilin Guards rushed to the border. Enter the Far East Army and Baijuntang people." Not a single soldier was used on the battlefield. Only Tang Tianli, Wang Yunlong, Wang Yunchuan, Su Xiaojing, and Tan Beiping led 5,000 unicorn guards to fight against the 50,000 Tatar army!"
