Uncertain Chang'an

After a short rest, Xiao Wuding brought Wu Yi and Yang Yong back to the state prison with his soldiers.The people of Linyi got the news and waited on both sides of the street one after another. Su Hengqing hurriedly sent government soldiers to maintain order and led a group of officials to wait at the gate of the city.The scorching sun of the past few days was finally covered by the drifting clouds, dispelling a bit of the heat.Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuding rode in front, and saw a group of people waiting at the gate of the city from a distance. She looked back at Wu Yi who was being detained, and felt a little emotional: "It was like this not long ago, a group of officials greeted us here , I don't want to, but in less than a month, Zhou Mu has become a prisoner. But I only hate that I didn't clean up Wu Yi earlier, and let him do harm to the people like this."

"Your Highness has done a good job. It's my fault in the investigation. If I found something wrong earlier, I wouldn't let him run away, and Your Highness and the people wouldn't suffer that much." Xiao Wuding apologized with eyes full of guilt.

Zhou Jinhe turned his head to look at her, couldn't help but chuckled, and said: "I thought the general was so decisive, not to mention hard-hearted, he should be a bit cold-blooded, but he is so soft-hearted when he doesn't want to." His heart was so soft that he didn't want her illness that night Aggravating, he did not hesitate to expose his identity.

"Decisive killing is only due to the current situation. If I don't make a decisive move, the casualties will be my comrades-in-arms, the people I swear to protect, and the people I cherish." Xiao Wuding turned his head to look at Zhou Jinhe, With desolation and helplessness in his eyes, he whispered: "In troubled times, the only way to end war is with war."

Zhou Jinhe looked into those pitch-black pupils, unconsciously sinking into them. There was too much in those pupils, which made it impossible for her to read them through.She suddenly wanted to hear her story, and wanted to know what kind of experience created such unfathomable eyes.

"Welcome Your Highness, General Xiao to return to the city!"

Before Zhou Jinhe could speak again, the team had already reached the gate of the city. Su Hengqing led a group of officials to kneel down to greet him. Zhou Jinhe had no choice but to stop talking, and said loudly: "Everyone, please forgive me." After entering the city, the people on both sides knelt down and saluted At this time, she felt a little excited, looked around in relief, and said to everyone with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth: "Thanks to General Zhenbei and the soldiers of Dingbei Army, Wu Yi and Yang Yong, the bandit leader of Heifengzhai, were captured alive. Those who are persecuted by Fengzhai and unknown to the government, report to the state government within two days, the Palace and the imperial court will deal with it according to the law, and give everyone justice!"

For a moment, the people were full of voices, thanking Princess Yongning and General Zhenbei for their kindness, countless stones spit at Wu Yi and the bandits, shouting and cursing endlessly.

With the destruction of Heifengzhai, most of the affairs in Yizhou have been completed. After the people are dealt with, and the disaster situation is almost handled, the teacher can return to the court.The soldiers who attacked Heifengzhai at night stayed up all night, Zhou Jinhe waved his hand and told them to take a day off and hold a celebration banquet in the evening.The soldiers of Dingbei Army really didn't pay attention to those bandits, if they followed Xiao Wuding, at most they would return to the capital and drink, but since Her Royal Highness has spoken, how can there be any reason not to follow?What's more, the soldiers have really worked hard in the past two months, Xiao Wuding thanked Her Highness the Princess on behalf of the soldiers, went out to give orders and then came back.

Zhou Jinhe was discussing with Su Hengqing about the matter of hearing the case, when he saw Xiao Wuding came back, he was puzzled and asked, "Why is the general still busy?"

"Your Highness is here, so I should be here." Xiao Wuding looked at Zhou Jinhe innocently, what's wrong?

Seeing the innocent look of the man, Zhou Jinhe couldn't laugh or cry for a moment: "Didn't I just say rest?"

"I have ordered the soldiers to rest in rotation."

"I mean you, from yesterday afternoon until now, you haven't slept for a whole day, isn't the general sleepy?"

"It's still bearable, Your Highness don't have to worry."

Zhou Jinhe was about to laugh angrily, and said, "What can happen to me right here? You go back to take a bath and rest, and come find me after dinner."

Seeing that Xiao Wuding still wanted to speak, Zhou Jinhe's face darkened, and he said coldly: "General Xiao is disobedient?"

Uh...why is it suddenly scary?Xiao Wuding curled his lips, lowered his head to hide the doting in his eyes, cupped his fists and said: "The last general dare not, so go to rest now, thank Dian for his sympathy."

That's about the same.Seeing Xiao Wuding backed out obediently, Zhou Jinhe raised the corner of his mouth again, picked up the materials he had put down, turned to Su Hengqing and said, "Master Su, go ahead... Hey, Master Su, why are you so late? very?"

You and General Xiao are so "lovely", isn't this just asking for fun...Of course, this can't be said, he hurriedly picked up the teacup at the side, and said with a smile: "I'm thirsty, why don't you drink it?" Mouth tea."

Zhou Jinhe didn't doubt that he was there, so he took a sip from the teacup beside him and continued talking to him.

Xiao Wuding went back to the room, someone had already prepared hot water, she went back to bed and lay down after washing, remembering Zhou Jinhe's actions just now, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.When I woke up again, it was time for dinner.She changed into casual clothes and met Zhou Jinhe when she went out.

Seeing her coming out, Zhou Jinhe turned towards her and said with a smile, "I just wanted to call you, but have you rested?"

"Thanks to Your Highness, I am full of energy at the moment."

"Very good, I think the soldiers are already waiting, let's go over here." After finishing speaking, Zhou Jinhe went out first.There is not such a big place in the city for the army to station, and a group of soldiers still set up camp outside the city. Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuding led a group of soldiers and rode out of the city.

These days, grain is constantly being shipped over, and many rice merchants come to Laiyi to do business. Qi Haotian has done a good job in this matter, and now there is enough grain in the city. Zhou Jinhe only wrote a letter a few days ago asking him to come back.But in the end, he just experienced famine. Although heifengzhai's food was seized, the food in the city was far from being squandered. Although it was a celebration banquet, it was just that there were more vegetables and wine than usual for the soldiers.

When Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuding arrived, the soldiers had already arranged their seats, waiting for Her Royal Highness the Princess and the general to take their seats.Zhou Jinhe sat in the main seat, seeing that there were small cups on his table and wine bowls on the tables of the soldiers below, he turned his head and motioned to Fei'er: "Change the bowls."

"Here."

Fei'er quickly took the wine bowl and filled it up, Xiao Wuding frowned slightly, but couldn't say anything.Regardless of whether Her Highness the Princess intended or not, this move will definitely make the soldiers respect Princess Yongning even more.

Zhou Jinhe picked up the wine bowl with both hands, got up and looked around at the soldiers below, and then said loudly: "All the soldiers came with me all the way, marching in the rain and traveling with illness, and I didn't have a good meal for you when I arrived here in Linyi, now the black wind has broken The village is a great achievement! There is not much food in the city, and even though the celebration banquet is like this, after returning to Beijing, I will definitely make up for you! When you return to Beijing soon, His Majesty will reward you for your merits. Hard work, Yong Ning will keep it in mind, this bowl of wine should be served first as a respect!" After that, she picked up the wine bowl, different from the usual noble and reserved, a little more bold and unrestrained, and drank it down in one gulp.The wine bowl was turned over, and there was no drop left.Seeing His Royal Highness's move, the officers and men were excited, and they raised their wine bowls and said in unison, "Respect Your Highness!"

Xiao Wuding sat under her right hand, seeing this movement, he picked up the wine bowl, with a serious face, looked at Zhou Jinhe with a smile in his eyes, and said loudly: "I will go through fire and water for your highness, and I will die!" At the end, all the soldiers followed the general and shouted in unison: "Through fire or water, I will die!" Then they drank it all.

Seeing this appearance, Zhou Jinhe suddenly understood why his father often missed the days when he conquered the world with emotion.In the army, there is no politeness, but sincerity, it is the trust that entrusts one's life.It's not like in the court, where there are intrigues and intrigues.

Suddenly, a sentry came to report: "Your Highness, General, a large group of people is coming to the camp!"

"Oh?"

"I will go and have a look at the end, Your Highness, be safe and don't be impatient." After finishing speaking, Xiao Wuding got up and went out, but Zhou Jinhe also got up and said: "Wait a minute, general, I will go with the general, and all the soldiers have dinner first. "

When they arrived at the gate of the camp, the common people were already approaching. When Zhou Jinhe looked closely, he saw many familiar faces. They were all wealthy businessmen in the city, and there were also many common people who were not luxuriously dressed.

Seeing Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuding, a group of common people immediately knelt down and saluted: "Caomin pay homage to Your Royal Highness, General Zhenbei!"

Zhou Jinhe stepped forward to help the leading wealthy businessman, and said: "Everyone please get up quickly, I don't know what you are talking about?"

"Your Highness and the general, apart from Heifengzhai and that Wu Yi, are truly a great kindness. Caomin and others can't repay them. They can only comfort the soldiers with simple tea and light food. It is a little kindness! Caomin invited a few friends to bring their servants, I don’t want to meet many common people who have the same thoughts along the way, and I hope His Highness and the general will accept the kindness of the grassroots.”

Zhou Jinhe saw this battle for the first time, turned his head to look at Xiao Wuding, saw her nod slightly, and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Let the soldiers come out to thank the fathers and villagers for their kindness!"

Xiao Wuding invited many common people to stay and eat together, and the soldiers and civilians had fun together.After drinking for three tours, some people sang Linyi ditties. The soldiers came from all corners of the country, and they also sang folk songs from their hometown, which was very enjoyable.Xiao Wuding and Zhou Jinhe looked at each other with a smile, picked up the wine bowl and said: "Your Highness's demeanor is really admirable, I respect Your Highness."

Zhou Jinhe smiled, and took a drink from the wine bowl, but she seldom drank this kind of strong wine. While everyone was not paying attention, she stuck out her tongue at Xiao Wuding and whispered: "It's so spicy!"

Xiao Wuding snorted, she thought Zhou Jinhe was really good at drinking, but it turned out he was just pretending. "Your Highness should not drink, you don't have to be so polite with me."

"Hey, that's true. I'll take a sip next time." Zhou Jinhe nodded in agreement, smiling like a flower.

The celebration banquet was over, not to mention that Xiao Wuding had practiced his drinking capacity in the army for so many years, she didn't dare to drink too much because of Zhou Jinhe's concern, but Zhou Jinhe didn't pay attention to the strong wine for a while, and was a little dizzy from drinking.Xiao Wuding was afraid that she would be knocked down again later, so after thinking about it he asked: "Your Highness, why don't you share a horse with me?"

It's okay if they're all women.Thinking of this, Zhou Jinhe nodded and asked Xiao Wuding to help her get on the horse.Although the horse was moving slowly, it was really uncomfortable to jolt, Xiao Wuding hugged Zhou Jinhe's waist to prevent her from falling, Zhou Jinhe closed his eyes, leaned back and found a comfortable position.

"If His Majesty finds out about this, I'm afraid he will cause trouble for me." Xiao Wuding laughed and teased in her ear with a gentle tone.

Zhou Jinhe didn't open his eyes, Liu raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile: "Why is the general afraid of trouble?"

"Naturally, it's just that His Highness is not troublesome." Xiao Wuding hugged her tighter and said with a smile.

"Tsk," Zhou Jinhe got up slightly, opened his eyes and looked back at her, and said angrily, "If the general is a man, I'm afraid all the girls in the world should be secretly willing to talk like this." His eyes fluttered in the words, full of touching brilliance.

Xiao Wuding smiled fondly, noncommittal.Just to be honest, if you are troublesome, I hope to be haunted by trouble every day and stay with you for a moment.
