The officials of Honglu Temple saw that they took out several boxes and opened them for inspection. The contents were either precious stones or spices.
He opened his mouth involuntarily.
After distributing the things, Nie Canjun asked someone to pile up the boxes on a car and take them away, and those that couldn't be piled up would be carried away, and everyone planned to go back to the camp like this.
For some reason, Man Bao couldn't bear it, so he stopped them and said, "There are still a lot of our ox carts at the post station, let me lend you one."
When Nie Canjun heard this, he happily thanked his brothers and Zhou Man.
Man Bao said: "Remember to pay me back later."
Yin Hu, who was about to get in the carriage and leave, suddenly turned around and said, "That carriage belongs to my family, so remember to return it to my family."
Nie Canjun: "... yes."
So everyone waved goodbye at the gate of Honglu Temple, turned around and went back to their respective homes.
Liu Huan was very nervous. He always felt that there would be a stick waiting for him when he went back, so he didn't want to ride a horse. Instead, he held Jiyu's hand tightly and said, "Grandfather really won't beat me up?"
The message was also worried, but he comforted him and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Bai said, he specially sent Guanshi Li to see us off, just to let Guanshi Li praise you. You, it's not easy to start, let alone the old lady is here."
Only then did Liu Huan feel relieved.
Yin Or, who was traveling with Liu Huan for the time being, was also a little nervous, but he was not afraid, but excited.
It was the first time he had been away from home for so long, and this time he returned home with gifts for everyone.
Just thinking about it, he couldn't help but raise his mouth slightly.
Man Bao and the others rushed home directly, and no one had notified Lao Zhou and them, so Lao Zhou's house was quiet. When the side door was knocked, when Wednesday Lang, who was close, came to open the door, he saw Man Bao outside the door. Surprised, then happy.
Man Bao was also very surprised to see Zhou Zhoulang, and exclaimed: "Third brother, when did you come to the capital?"
Zhou Zhou Lang laughed so hard that his eyes almost lost sight, "I came up in October, and your second elder brother and second sister-in-law went back and said that Erya's marriage was over, and the second sister-in-law was also engaged. My parents asked me and your third sister-in-law to bring five Head to the capital, first to show the fourth to see the marriage, and second to send the fifth to study."
Zhou Zhoulang quickly opened the door, and while welcoming them inside, he shouted inside, "Dad, mother, Man Bao is back—"
Bai Shan looked around and asked, "Brother Zhou Zhou, where's the concierge?"
Zhou Zhou Langhan said with a smile: "It's been very cold these past two days, and no one came to the door. Now they go to eat and warm up. We live close to each other, and we can hear someone knocking on the door."
Bai Shan nodded with a smile, and together with him removed the threshold to allow the carriage to enter. Mr. Zhuang hardly rested during the journey, and was very tired. Bai Shan then said to the ten maids who were tied up, "You take the luggage of Mr. Take it down, someone will lead you down in a while, first serve the master to wash and eat."
Old Zhou Tou and the others rushed over after hearing the news and looked at them in surprise.
Man Bao ran up to hug Qian Shi and Xiao Qian Shi. It was so lively here, finally someone came to check on the situation.
Immediately, some servants stepped forward to serve them and took the things down, and then went to inform Mrs. Liu, and went to ask the kitchen to boil water for cooking, and there was a lot of excitement.
The old Zhou was very grateful for holding Mr. Zhuang's hand, "Mr. has been exhausted this journey."
When Madam Liu came, she was also pleasantly surprised, "Why didn't you call someone back in advance when you came back? We can also send someone to pick you up."
"Yes," Qian also nodded Man Bao's head and said, "You guys are too naughty. You gave us a big surprise today."
Bai Erlang stood aside alone, squeezed his way in and asked, "Aunt and grandma, my eldest brother and the others are not here?"
Mrs. Liu laughed and said, "Your sister-in-law's elder brother is going to the capital to catch the exam, and he is temporarily staying with your elder brother. Today your elder brother will accompany your sister-in-law back to pay New Year's greetings. He probably won't come back until after dinner."
She reached out her hand to touch Bai Erlang's head, and said with a smile, "It's darkened a lot this trip."
When Bai Erlang heard this, he immediately felt aggrieved, "Grandmother, it's too hot in the desert."
He looked left and right, pointed at Bai Shan and said, "Only him, he can't get tanned no matter how much he tans, we all got a little tanned, even Yin or Chang got tanned when he sat in the carriage."
Yin Or was indeed tanned, not only tanned, but also looked more energetic. When he returned home, not only Lord Yin nodded approvingly, but even Mrs. Yin was very pleased, and took his hand and said: "You didn't suffer along the way, did you?"
Yin said with a smile, "No, everything was well arranged along the way."
These words also deceived Mrs. Yin, Yin Li knew that they had encountered horse thieves and Tubo soldiers on the road.
After the meal, the father and son sat down to talk, and Yin Li asked him about his experiences along the way in detail, and then said, "I asked General Ashina when he came back. When you met a horse thief in the desert and almost died?"
Yin Ju said: "Nie Canjun and the others fought to protect each other, we were just frightened, and General Guo came to rescue us soon with soldiers and horses."
Yin Li nodded, "I accept the love between the Guo family and his son. The people who chased and killed you were the remnants of Xue Yantuo?"
Yin or nodded after a pause, "The two leaders are now serving under General Ashina."
Yin Li smiled and said: "General Ashina said that Bai Shan told him that although Jin Kuian is brave, he has no strategy, but he has a vicious mind. He only cares about profit, and he is greedy for beauty and money. Be extra careful."
Yin Ju smiled slightly: "This is not only Bai Shan's opinion, but also his son's."
Originally, Jin Kuian and Erge should have stayed in the Anxi Army, but after meeting Chai Duhu, Bai Shan approached General Ashina for advice, thinking that staying in the Anxi Army would do Anxi more harm than good. I also feel that Chai Duhu can't suppress Erge and Jin Kuian.
Especially Jin Kui'an, who is strong in force and unconvinced. If Chai Duhu is capable, he can always suppress him, but Chai Duhu obviously does not have the ability of General Guo. If Jin Kui'an is left behind, I am afraid he will make trouble in the army However, once the two have conflicts and cannot subdue each other, Jin Kuian may not have any psychological pressure to rebel.
So after thinking about it, Bai Shan approached General Ashina for advice.
General Ashina brought him to his side on the grounds that Jin Kui'an had made great contributions in attacking the King City of Kucha, and directly asked his subordinates to take him back to Lanzhou.
As for Ergo, it was mentioned in passing.
Yin Li is not a stingy person either. Since Jin Kui'an has made meritorious service, he will not do anything until he does something wrong again, but once the other party does something wrong...
Yin Li sneered inwardly.
Yin or heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Father, is Your Majesty angry that we have not returned home so late?"
Yin Li glanced at him and said: "Your Majesty is quite happy with the great victory in Zhengxi. Although you are in the mission, you are not in charge. You don't have to worry about this matter. Take a good rest first. Your Majesty may wait a few days." will summon you."
But in fact, the emperor sent people out of the palace early the next morning to gather all five of them, and took them to the palace to give lectures.
