In this way, the female thief did not appear again, and the situation in Kyoto was still tense, especially at night, when everyone closed their doors tightly, and patrolling soldiers could be seen everywhere in the streets.
In the blink of an eye, ten days later, the day when King Yi and Zhao Xiang returned to Beijing.
Ping An has been looking forward to their return recently, and on this day, she immediately took Shui'er and the guards in the mansion to pick them up.
Meng Huo also got the emperor's order, and together with several princes went outside the city to meet the triumphant generals and soldiers.
King Yi and Zhao Xiang came back on horseback. When they got outside the city gate, they saw the prince and common people who were picking them up.
Several princes got off their horses immediately, and came to King Yi to salute and say hello to him, and King Yi asked them to get up.
Zhao Xiang has been stretching his neck to find Ping An, but he was a little disappointed that he didn't see her.
Just as he drooped his head and muttered, suddenly a group of girls rushed out, each holding a bouquet of flowers in their hands, and someone behind him was holding a red cloth with white characters on it.
"Welcome the soldiers to return in triumph! Win glory for the country!"
Standing in the middle of the girls, Ping An looked extraordinarily eye-catching in a red dress, with a lily wreath on her head.
The soldiers were stunned by this operation, but then became excited.
The soldiers who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy were close to death, and those who went would probably be considered good if they came back, so many of those soldiers lost their companions.
Victory and them are very happy, but their hearts are still empty, as if they have lost something.
They never thought that there would be such a special welcome ceremony when they came back.
Moreover, some of them also saw their family members.
"Soldiers who have contributed to our country present flowers!" Ping An ordered, and the girls and those behind them all rushed to the soldiers and handed over the flowers to the soldiers.
Ping An gave flowers to Zhao Xiang.
Zhao Xiang was very happy, got off the horse, quickly took her hand and retracted it.
However, Ping An took his hand directly, and frowned, "Where are your fingers!"
Zhao Xiang, "..."
He didn't want her to see, who knew Hao could observe so carefully.
"Accidentally injured a little bit, one finger was cut off." Zhao Xiang looked at her with a smirk.
Ping An took his hand and saw that his right hand was missing a little finger. She felt uncomfortable. Ever since the two of them worked together, she had regarded him as her best friend and confidant, so when she learned that he was going to go out with the army, she would Worried about his safety, I would write out the Art of War to him, just hoping that he would come back safely.
"It's nothing, the little finger is useless, it's gone if it's gone, and it won't affect my daily life." Zhao Xiang looked at her and quickly comforted her.
"Why do you still accept Yihe? Why don't you just destroy Yi Guo!" Ping'an's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his eyes shot at the carriage not far away.
The people sitting there are all Yi Guo people!
"Don't be impulsive, it's not up to us, don't worry, I'm really fine." Zhao Xiang said quickly.
But, no matter what he said, Ping An looked at the carriages of the Yi people very badly, Meng Huo came over, he was jealous at first, but when he got closer and heard what the two of them said, he couldn't eat anymore .
He didn't expect Zhao Xiang to be able to fight so hard, and he came back with a wound, and he still lost a little finger.
