At this time, the three armies arrived under the palace walls amid the welcome of the people.
Civil and military officials waited under the palace gate and greeted them in a mighty manner.
I haven't seen such a battle in Kyoto for many years. Most of the officials are civil officials. I heard that the war is also separated by thousands of miles.
Xiao Xule tightened the reins and made a gesture, and the subordinates who followed him immediately stopped walking. From this we can see that Xiao Xu managed the army rigorously.
No horses were allowed in front of the palace gate. Xiao Xu turned over and dismounted, and the reins in his hand were taken over by the subordinates beside him. He stood upright and looked up at the towering palace walls. His eyes were light, and no one could see what he was thinking.
The Minister of Rites, as the person in charge of the welcome, did not dare to neglect. Although His Royal Highness the British King had an amazing aura and looked unapproachable to outsiders, he still held back his trembling and led Baiguan towards him with a smile.
"Congratulations to the triumphant return of General Pingnan."
This sound fell, and more than a hundred officials behind him cheered in unison.
The soldiers behind Xiao Xu all smiled, and to be able to get this praise from these high-ranking officials, all the hard work was worth it.
Xiao Xu nodded lightly, his expression calm as usual.
According to the normal procedure, after they finished speaking, the protagonist should have a few words of greetings, but unfortunately, the main lord, apart from nodding, did nothing else, and everyone swallowed. Four or five years later, His Highness is still as cold as ever.
At this time, Xiao Ran, who had been poking his head and looking at Xiao Xu, was awakened by the servant of the Ministry of Rites beside him, "Fourth Prince, Fourth Prince, what are you looking at?"
Xiao Ran immediately returned to his senses, seeing that several ministers beside him were looking at him, his face became hot, he coughed lightly, took a step forward, and bowed his hands to Xiao Xu in front of him with a sincere smile, "Brother, welcome back. , Father Huang is already waiting for you in the hall at this moment."
Xu Shi saw Xiao Ran, and there was a hint of color in Xiao Xu's eyes, "Okay."
"Brother, all the soldiers, please!" Xiao Ran asked respectfully with a sideways smile.
Xiao Xu saw the emperor's younger brother Luo Luo, who was generous and able to be his own, with a warm look in his eyes, nodding at him, and then walking towards the scarlet palace gate with a few soldiers behind him.
Xiao Ran was at his side, and the civil and military officials surrounded them and sent them in.
In an instant, the crowd became lively, the victory came back, and the soldiers returned with honor. This is an exciting thing.
Many of these officials are young people who have never been on the battlefield, but they are also enthusiastic young people. They are full of curiosity about the battlefield. They dare not disturb Xiao Xu, so they ask and discuss with the soldiers around them. These soldiers are also willing to share, so The two were in harmony, and the estrangement disappeared at once, and it became more lively.
Xiao Ran saw a good opportunity at this time, sneaked up to Xiao Xu, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what about Qingyan? Why don't you see anyone?"
Xiao Xu was a little surprised that he mentioned the little guy on this occasion. He looked deeply at the imperial brother in front of him, and raised his brows slightly.
And when Xiao Ran asked this question, he didn't dare to speak up. At this time, he was stared at by the elder brother, and he felt even more guilty. He scratched his head and whispered, "I didn't recognize her in the military camp last time, I feel very guilty. I want to apologize to her."
Xiao Xu nodded lightly, "You don't have to worry about it, Ayan won't care about such trivial matters."
These words made Xiao Ran touch his nose involuntarily. He didn't care about this matter, but he was uneasy, but here, he couldn't be more cheeky and entangled, and he couldn't help but look a little disappointed.
Yu Guang swept Xiao Ran's lost look, Xiao Xu frowned, looked straight ahead, with a voice that the two of them could hear, in a light tone, "Chu Yan has returned to his hometown, and will not appear in Kyoto in the future, Ayan is now It should have arrived at the palace."
Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, and his brows suddenly rose. He couldn't hide his excitement, and his face really came back.
Just in his excitement, he heard the overtone of the first emperor, that is, the identity of the charming Chu Yan cannot be exposed to the public eye, and now in the capital, only Chu Qingyan does not have Chu Yan.
Therefore, Qingyan's current identity is a family member, and it is a normal thing not to appear in the team.
He immediately calmed down and took the task seriously.
As long as you come back with your face, why can't you find anyone
Soon, the group entered the palace, climbed the steps, and the discussion hall was already in sight.
Emperor Xixuan and the rest of the civil and military officials were waiting, and soon they heard voices from far and near, everyone was overjoyed, and people came.
Although he was always afraid of this eldest son, but after not seeing him for many years, Emperor Xixuan also had a look of hope on his face. I wonder how he has become in the past few years
Soon, a figure appeared at the entrance of the temple.
So many people walked in, surrounded by a tall and cold man. The silver helmet, silver shirt, silver mask, and the light flickered slightly, giving those present an awe-inspiring vision.
Emperor Xixuan watched the man approaching in a hurry. If it weren't for those eyes, he would probably not have recognized this man as his eldest son while walking in the crowd.
At that moment, he was suddenly a little stunned.
The memory suddenly dates back to more than ten years ago, when the fire had not yet ignited, the handsome young man was walking towards him with a book, "Father, can you understand this sentence like this?"
Today, he is still walking towards him slowly, but he can no longer find the familiar Ru Mu in his brows and eyes, only a bottomless pool of water.
It seems that there are very few fragments about this eldest son in memory.
Emperor Xixuan couldn't help asking himself, is it because he is often not in the capital? Or do you barely notice him
Before he could answer this question, a group of people had already bent over and saluted in front of him.
"See the father and the emperor, the son is fortunately not humiliated." Xiao Xu cupped his hands and said sternly.
Emperor Xixuan pulled away from his memory, with a slight smile on his face, "Xu'er, you are indeed the most courageous and skilled prince of your father. This time, thanks to you, you saved the people from the fire."
"This is what Erchen should do." Xiao Xu lowered his eyebrows and replied neither humble nor arrogant.
This attitude, Emperor Xixuan was very satisfied.
At this time, the other ministers also stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is young and promising, which is the blessing of the Sheji and the blessing of the people."
"The eldest prince is truly a dragon and a phoenix among people!"
"… "
Everyone could see that His Majesty was in a happy mood, so he spared no effort to praise Xiao Xu.
This made the left counterparts laugh from ear to ear, while the right counterparts laughed reluctantly, and the leftists felt really out of breath.
When Xiao Xu finished reporting the war, everyone sighed. Nan Cang was really ambitious and cruel. Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Ying rescued Xi Xuan.
After sighing a few times, Emperor Xixuan comforted the ministers, and then said to everyone, "Tomorrow night, there will be a banquet in the palace to entertain the soldiers, and the ministers will also come together to have a good time."
The crowd cheered.
