"Oh~"
Chen Kan said oh, and a look of sudden realization suddenly appeared on his face.
Then he threw an angry look at Xu Huan, meaning you said it earlier, why didn't you say it earlier?
Don't you just want to return to the warm Jiangnan, but don't want to give up the power in your hands? What a big deal.
I couldn’t do it anyway, why didn’t you tell me earlier?
Noticing Chen Kan's angry eyes, Xu Huan's face lit up, and then he looked at Chen Kan and cupped his hands and said: "To be honest with you, Mr. Marquis, I still have a seventy-year-old mother at home. What I think about every day is how to return to my hometown to die." Xiao, then I thought of mentioning this matter to Mr. Hou today, and wanted to see what Mr. Hou thought about this matter."
Chen Kan looked at Xu Huan with a smile and said: "General Xu's innocent heart moved the world. If so, why not resign from the post of Shanhaiguan guard and return to his hometown to support his old mother?"
"this......"
Xu Huan's face froze, the script was not quite right.
At this time, shouldn't the bid be made and the two parties then engage in a mental game?
Chen Kan chuckled lightly, and then said with a smile: "Among the capital, General Zhu Neng serves as the commander-in-chief of the five army commanders, Longping Marquis serves as the commander-in-chief of the front army, and the remaining left, right, middle and rear commanders are all appointed by Licheng Marquis of Taining, Marquis of Xincheng, etc., I wonder which one of them will General Xu squeeze out when he returns to the capital?"
As soon as Chen Kan said this, Xu Huan's expression changed instantly.
There is shame and anger, but mostly powerlessness.
Because he can't squeeze out any of the people Chen Kan mentioned.
In terms of military exploits, seniority, and even closeness to His Majesty, he can't compare to these people. What can he do to squeeze these people out, and how can he risk his life to squeeze them out?
Chen Kan's words were clearly telling him that the position of the capital had always been a carrot and a pit. Even if he, Xu Huan, could get on the boat of Marquis Jinghai, there was no way he could be forced into the pit.
If he wanted to return to the capital, he had only two options, either, as Chen Kan said, give up his rights in Shanhaiguan and return to the capital to be an idler.
Either he would squeeze out a certain general in terms of military exploits, and Zhu Di would have to make room for him.
It can only be said that he made a mistake in placing his hope for help on Chen Kan from the very beginning.
Chen Kan was just Zhu Di's son-in-law. He did not have that much energy to allow a military general with 20,000 troops to wield such power after returning to Nanjing.
After a while, Xu Huan stopped the expression on his face, cupped his hands towards Chen Kan and said, "Master Hou, I have lost my composure."
Chen Kan smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. I enjoyed General Xu's meal today. Thank you so much for your hospitality, General."
Xu Huang calmed down and said with a smile: "No matter what the Marquis said, it is the general's honor that the Marquis is willing to stay in Shanhaiguan."
"I've been harassing you for a long time. It's time for me to return to Beijing. Let's say goodbye."
Chen Kan stood up first and bowed his hands to Xu Huan before leaving.
When Xu Huan heard that Chen Kan was about to leave, he hurriedly came out to persuade him to stay: "Why is the Marquis leaving in such a hurry? How could the general not treat him well?"
"General Xu is overly worried. I am simply thinking about Beijing. No, after entering Shanhaiguan, I have eaten enough and slept enough. It is time to go home."
Chen Kan smiled and said something to Xu Huan, then turned around and went down the tower, heading towards the room Xu Huan had arranged for his brothers.
And for some unknown reason, Xu Huan actually stopped pursuing her.
When Chen Kan went downstairs, he saw Cheng Feng who was bored.
"Master Hou!"
Chen Kan raised his hand to interrupt Cheng Feng's greetings and said lightly: "Send the order and go back to Beijing."
When Cheng Feng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly went to gather people.
He didn't want to stay in Shanhaiguan for a moment, especially when he saw Xu Huan's hypocrite face, he felt a little nauseous.
Why is a guy who can only flatter others now have a higher official position than him?
Chen Kan smiled and shook his head, found a pillar to lean against, and waited for the soldiers to gather before going home.
Chen Kan knew why Xu Huan didn't chase him out. He just felt that he was of no use and there was no need to please him anymore.
There is no problem with this, and Chen Kan doesn't want to have anything to do with him.
Cheng Feng's loud voice was definitely the best weapon to call people. With just one roar from behind the door of the room, everyone knew that the Marquis was leaving.
What else is there to say, then let’s go!
Soon everyone gathered, and with a wave of his hand, Chen Kan led the soldiers out of Guancheng and embarked on the road home.
Xu Huan finally chose to stand on the tower and watch Chen Kanyuan go, but the helplessness in his eyes could not be concealed.
For a person who is good at flattery, there is nothing more painful than giving up the power he has obtained.
In comparison, a seventy-year-old mother doesn't seem so important.
...
...
After entering the pass, it was a day when the sun was shining brightly.
But now in this season, even on a sunny day, the wind blowing in the air is a bit cold.
Feeling the tingling sensation on his skin, Chen Kan knew that another winter was coming.
It was early summer when I left Beijing for the grasslands, and it was already early winter when I returned to Beijing.
There was no such thing as a waste of horsepower on the journey home. In less than ten days, Chen Kan and a group of soldiers had already seen the tall walls of Beijing.
The moat outside the city is several feet deep. The only thing that is not beautiful is that there is no water in the moat. However, the moat is actually made of cement. This must be praised.
Returning to the Three Thousand Camp Campus, the three thousand soldiers who stayed in Xuan Mansion to assist in the defense of the city have long since returned. If the war cannot start, their duty will always be to protect the safety of the capital.
Chen Kan was not in the mood to make a speech in the army. After giving orders for a three-day holiday, he rushed towards the Hou Mansion.
There is nothing I can do. After being a monk for more than half a year, I am about to meet my little wife at home. Who can bear it?
When he led a group of guards to fight horses and walked to the Jinshui River, some sharp-eyed servants had already discovered Chen Kan's traces.
"The Marquis is back, the Marquis is back!"
The shouts of the servants of the Hou Mansion instantly alarmed the people on both sides of the Jinshui River. Not only the people of the Hou Mansion rushed out, but also the family members of the wealthy families on both sides of the Jinshui River came out, ready to take a look at the Lord Hou who was roaming the grassland. What does it look like.
Yes, until now, there are still many people who don't know what Chen Kan looks like.
On weekdays, everyone's human relations are handled by the housekeeper. Even if there is any close relationship, it is all between the female relatives of each family.
Not to mention that Chen Kan has never left the house since he came to Beijing. He concentrated on teaching his disciples at home. He didn't know that Chen Kan's appearance was normal.
The past is the past, but now, with Chen Kan's reputation in the Ming Dynasty, they feel that it is necessary for them to get in touch with Chen Kan.
Whose prince would personally lead troops deep into the grassland?
Even if they went deep into the grassland, they also took advantage of the situation and kidnapped the Mongol Khan back to the Ming Dynasty.
This is something that only famous generals like Huo Qubing and Li Jing could accomplish in ancient times. Chen Kan's spirit of not fearing death is enough to make people awe-inspiring.
Everyone held this idea, and the final result was that the streets along the Jinshui River were empty, which was even more lively than Yuan Zheng and others.
Finally, Chen Kan's war horse emerged from the Jinshui Bridge.
He was dressed in dark red fish scale armor, with a horizontal sword hanging on his waist, and two fire blunderbuss hanging on the saddle, one on the left and one on the right. The fierce killing aura seemed to make the entire Jinshui River boil.
The crowds crowded on both sides of the Jinshui River were stunned for a moment. This was not the energetic young Lord Marquis. This was obviously the greedy wolf star who had descended to earth and transformed into a god of death.
Just because the shiny fish scales turned into dark red, everyone couldn't help but wonder if Chen Kan had killed everyone on the grassland. Otherwise, why would there be such a strong evil spirit?
Yes, everyone subconsciously regarded the smell of blood emanating from Chen Kan's body as evil spirit.
How many people must be killed to dye the armor this color?
They dare not imagine.
The personal guards following Chen Kan subconsciously straightened their chests under the gaze of so many people.
At this moment, they are the great contributors to the victory.
"Da Ming, Wan Sheng!"
Li Si, the leader of Chen Kan's bodyguard, was the first to raise his sword and hit his chest.
Immediately, the other guards also shouted: "Da Ming. Wan Sheng!!!"
The deafening sound of victory resounded through the Jinshui River, which made every family member shine in splendor, especially the young ladies of marriageable age who were hiding behind their fathers and brothers. They couldn't help but be fascinated.
"This is what a man should do!"
I don’t know which official was the first to sigh with emotion, and then there were countless echoes.
Under the spotlight, Chen Kan finally walked across the Jinshui Bridge.
As soon as he crossed the bridge, several pairs of small hands waved towards him: "Teacher, we are here, teacher, here!"
The person who spoke was naturally Chen Kan's eldest disciple Zhu Zhanji. This guy had always been a social jerk. Except for him, who would shout in public regardless of his image, there was no one else.
Chen Kan looked towards the direction where the sound came from. Unknowingly, Zhu Zhanji had transformed from a fat little boy into an immature boy. Hua Shi was no longer as thin and weak as if he would collapse in the wind. The one who has changed the most is Zhu Zhanhe, who has actually grown a head in height compared to before Chen Kan left home half a year ago.
Even her face still had the look of a strong little white flower, and she pursed her lips tightly as if she was incompatible with everything around her.
But the joy in his eyes betrayed his heart.
Standing behind the three of them was Chang Ning, whose eyes were slightly red and swollen. She protected the three little ones tightly like an old hen, but there was a bit of inexplicable anger in her eyes when she looked at Chen Kan. meaning.
Chen Kan got off his horse, threw the reins to the servants of the Hou Mansion who came up, and faced Chang Ning.
"I'm back!"
These four simple words make the beauty cry.
Chen Kan didn't care whether he smelled bad or not, and he didn't want to care about the large audience.
He just wanted to hug Chang Ning tightly in his arms.
So he just followed his inner thoughts.
As for the little brats, what kind of hugs do they want?
The next moment, the entire both sides of the Jinshui River were occupied by a shy exclamation.
