The imperial decree soon spread to Jueling City, and Emperor Yanxi ordered Jun Lixuan to lead his army back to Beijing immediately, and rewarded the second prince, Jun Chengjing, for his meritorious service in the war. After returning to the fiefdom, he will be rewarded.
Jun Lixuan arranged for soldiers and horses, and three days later he left the camp and returned to Beijing.
Before leaving, King You came to see him off.
"Thanks to the help of King Lin this time, otherwise the country of You would be in danger." Thinking of the twists and turns of the final battle, King You also had mixed feelings in his heart, but fortunately everything has passed.
"Your Majesty is polite. The country of You is a country belonging to Daye, and it is right to help you when you are in trouble." Jun Lixuan said.
"In any case, King Lin helped the people of our country escape the sea of suffering. I will never forget this kind of grace." The vicissitudes in King You's eyes have not dissipated because of the end of the war, which shows that he is still working hard.
"This is all the grace of the father, and this king is only acting according to the order." Jun Lixuan thought that he could not bear King You's praise.
"My lord is too modest. To be honest, if someone else leads the army this time, it may not be able to repel the Blazing Army. Just look at your methods of dealing with the Blazing Pioneer Army." King You is also telling the truth To be honest, there is no half-flattery meant.
"It's just that there is a way." Speaking of which, the credit should not go to him.
King You said with a smile: "Sometimes I think it's a coincidence, but don't you know it's not God's will?"
Jun Lixuan didn't answer the words, maybe some things were really arranged in the dark.
King You took a step forward, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "If King Lin wants to be the crown prince in the future, I will definitely support you fully and will not hesitate."
Jun Lixuan looked at King You, and said: "I don't care about the throne, King You thinks too much." After all, he is not familiar with King You, and even if the other party expresses his attitude towards some things, he has to be cautious. Besides, he is really not interested in that position.
King You looked at him in surprise, "You..."
"I appreciate the king's kindness. I also hope that King You can restore the country to its former state as soon as possible. This is the blessing of the people." Jun Lixuan said seriously.
King You retreated back to the original distance, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I don't have much to say. After a while, I will go to Ye Kingdom to pay tribute, and then I will drink three cups with King Lin."
"Very good. It's getting late, and this king will leave." Jun Lixuan clasped his fists and said.
You Guojun nodded, "I wish you a smooth journey, my lord."
Afterwards, the army left Jue Ling City in a mighty way, and embarked on the road back to Beijing...
After walking with the army for a day, Jun Lixuan took Ling Qiyang, took Ling Qiyang, left the army team in the prepared carriage, and ran towards the direction of Jun Chengjing's fiefdom. In order not to arouse suspicion, Jun Lixuan asked the two hidden guards to pretend to be him and Ling Qiyang to fill the ranks in the army. And leaving Mingli there as a pretense, coupled with Ling Hongzhi's cover, can be said to be foolproof.
The carriage was running on the small road, and it was driven by Jun Lixuan's shadow guard, who usually only appeared when he was on his way, and when the carriage stopped, he didn't know where to hide.
It's summer, and the weather is already hot, but it's not yet the hot season. It's just the right time for a trip. The lush trees and wild flowers on both sides of the road are also very pleasing to the eye.
In two days, we will arrive at Jun Chengjing's fief. Originally, we wanted to go together, but considering that it would be difficult to cover up, Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang went one step later.
On the carriage, Ling Qiyang leaned in front of Jun Lixuan, looking at a history book that he picked up from the study yesterday, while Jun Lixuan broke open the slightly sour apricots, removed the pits, and sent them to Ling Qiyang's mouth.
Ling Qiyang looked at it for a while, then yawned, put down the book, and closed his eyes.
"Sleepy?" Jun Lixuan pulled up the thin quilt covering Ling Qiyang's body. Although the weather was already hot, it was inevitable that the weather would change during the journey, so it was better to cover it with an extra layer to avoid getting sick.
"It's okay, but I'm a little tired." Ling Qiyang smiled, took the apricot that Jun Lixuan fed to his mouth, stuffed it into Jun Lixuan's mouth, and said: "I ate too much, my stomach is a little bloated."
"Well, let's eat later." Jun Lixuan put the apricots into a box on the side, "It's always boring to go on the road. It's not bad to see the scenery at first, but it will be boring if you look at it too much. Wait until the second brother's place." , and take you to have fun again."
"I'm not bored." Ling Qiyang grabbed Jun Lixuan's fingers, "If you stay with me, you won't be bored wherever you go."
Jun Lixuan laughed, and kissed his forehead, "The next life, the next life, and forever, I will be with you, okay?"
Ling Qiyang nodded seriously, and replied: "Okay."
"Well, I think that's good too." Jun Lixuan tightened the arms holding him.
When the two arrived at the fief, Jun Chengjing counted the time and was waiting for them at the gate of the city.
Seeing their carriage, they walked over quickly and said with a smile: "It can be counted."
Jun Lixuan lifted the curtain of the car, and said in surprise, "Why is Second Brother here?"
"I'm afraid it's hard for you to find the way, so I'll come here and wait. Just in time to take you to the market and try the snacks here." Jun Chengjing laughed heartily.
"Second brother, come up first." Jun Lixuan gave up his seat and invited Jun Chengjing up.
Jun Chengjing said to the entourage behind him: "You guys go back first."
The entourage responded, and only Jun Chengjing was left to serve him personally, and the rest left first.
Jun Chengjing explained the route to the shadow guard driving the car, and then sat in the car with peace of mind.
"Didn't you sleep well?" Seeing Ling Qiyang's tired face, Jun Chengjing asked.
"It's okay, maybe it's because of the rush, I'm a little tired." Ling Qiyang smiled.
"When you arrive at the place in a while, take a good rest." Speaking of this, Jun Chengjing said again: "By the way, I didn't ask you before, do you live in my mansion, or do you want to live alone? Live with me, and I can take care of you at any time , living alone is more comfortable than living in my house, you can choose."
Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang looked at each other and smiled, Jun Lixuan said: "Second brother is very thoughtful, it's good for me to live alone with Qiyang, this kind of opportunity is too rare, I don't want to let it down."
"Well, I'll take you to the house in a while." Jun Chengjing has both sides ready, so no matter which Jun Lixuan chooses, he can move in immediately.
The market was extremely lively, the three of them didn't get out of the car, they just lifted the curtain to look out, the carriage was running slowly, it didn't get in the way.
"It smells so good." Ling Qiyang sniffed and looked out of the car.
Jun Chengjing laughed, and said: "This is our signature here, called Fragrant Tofu." As he spoke, Jun Chengjing ordered his valet to buy some, and said, "This Fragrant Tofu is our time-honored brand." Now, there is no shop, so the boss and his wife push carts to set up stalls to sell. Use the soft tofu that is made every morning, cut into two-inch squares, hollow out the middle, and stuff them with seasoned meat fillings. Deep-fry them in hot oil, then drizzle with their special dipping sauce, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it’s delicious.” When it comes to this delicacy, Jun Chengjing seems to be eloquent. Ling Qiyang couldn't help but feel a little greedy when he said it.
After waiting for a while, the boy ran over with the freshly fried fragrant tofu. There were too many people queuing up, and he couldn't use his master's authority to affect his reputation.
Jun Chengjing took the things and handed them to Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang. Ling Qiyang opened the paper bag, took a bite, and sucked in air from the heat.
Jun Lixuan said with a smile: "What's the hurry, didn't you say 'you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry'?"
Ling Qiyang also smiled embarrassedly, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he was very greedy when he smelled this smell, he took another bite carefully, the meat filling was exposed, and the meat sweat also flowed out, with the sauce added Spicy, what a must.
"It's delicious." Ling Qiyang praised.
Seeing him eating happily, Jun Lixuan was also happy, after all, it is rare to see Ling Qiyang likes to eat like this. He was not interested in this thing, so he gave Ling Qiyang his own share. Ling Qiyang finished his share, looked at Jun Lixuan's, and always felt that it was not good for him to be like this, but Jun Lixuan looked at him lovingly, and he really didn't want to let go.
After thinking about it, Ling Qiyang opened the bag, and first handed the fragrant tofu to Jun Lixuan's mouth for him to bite.
Jun Lixuan reached out to touch Ling Qiyang's hair, and said with a smile: "I'm not hungry, you can eat."
Ling Qiyang still stubbornly did not withdraw his hand. Jun Lixuan smiled helplessly, and then took a bite. Only then was Ling Qiyang satisfied, and continued to eat Jun Lixuan's share.
"Like a child." Jun Lixuan said with a smile.
Ling Qiyang ignored him and continued to eat his stuff.
Jun Chengjing looked at the two people who looked like no one else was there, and smiled and asked the boy to buy some more.
Ling Qiyang ate seven in one go, and leaned against Jun Lixuan so full that he didn't want to move. Jun Lixuan touched his stomach and found that it was not bulging, and he didn't know where all the food went.
After walking around, Jun Lixuan asked someone to buy some snacks and refreshments, and then went to the house that Jun Chengjing had arranged before.
The house arranged by Jun Chengjing is very close to his mansion, just adjacent to the street. The yard is not big, but it is very uniquely arranged, and it feels like home.
"I bought this house because although it is not big, it has all internal organs and a reasonable layout. I thought that if any of you come over in the future, you can just stay here temporarily." Jun Chengjing took the two of them to visit the house, "Now you are here , and it just came in handy.”
"Second brother has a heart." Jun Lixuan is very satisfied with this small house, it is not as spacious and empty as the palace of the king, and has a warm and delicate feeling.
Ling Qiyang also likes this place very much, especially the lounge chairs under the vines, which look cozy and comfortable.
"It's fine if you like it. I've already had people tidy up the things here. Every day I'll ask the people in the house to bring over three meals, lest people come over to serve you. You don't think it's in the way." Just look at their boredom in the carriage. It can be seen that Jun Chengjing knew that they didn't need others to step into their lives at all.
"Thank you second brother." Jun Lixuan said.
"What are you being polite about? That's all right, you guys rest first, and if you have anything to do, let someone come to the house to find me." Jun Chengjing smiled.
"Okay. Second brother, go slowly, I'll see you off." Jun Lixuan said with a smile.
"Well, don't give it away." Jun Chengjing just walked a few steps towards the door, then stopped suddenly, turned his head and said, "That's right. I set up a medical center on the street next to the market for those The people who are struggling to see a doctor, if you are free, can you sit in the clinic for a day or two to solve some difficult and miscellaneous diseases for the people in the fief?"
"Of course, Qi Yang can't ask for it." Ling Qiyang said with a smile: "I have always wanted to see how far my medical skills are, but I have never been able to find a suitable opportunity. If the second brother gives me this opportunity, Qi Yang will definitely do his best."
"Well, I'll come and take you there in a few days." Jun Chengjing said in a good mood.
"Okay, then I will trouble the second brother."
"It's the second brother who troubled you." Jun Chengjing waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."
"Second brother, go slowly." Ling Qiyang said with a smile.
When Jun Chengjing left, Jun Lixuan hugged Ling Qiyang and said, "Didn't you say you would accompany me? Why did you agree to go to the doctor again?"
"Didn't you say before that if I want to go out to travel for medical treatment, would you be willing to accompany me?" Ling Qiyang raised his head and asked back.
Jun Lixuan laughed, "Yes, I will accompany you. Now, should my wife and relatives sleep with my husband for a while to refresh himself?"
"En." Ling Qiyang was also a little sleepy, so he nodded.
Jun Lixuan picked up Ling Qiyang and walked towards the bedroom. The vines behind were blown softly by the wind, with a kind of lingering ease, dotted with the coziness of the small courtyard...
