After all, King Qi couldn't resist Xie Jingan's temptation, and followed him back to Chang'an.

It was early summer when they walked, and when they arrived in Chang'an, the weather in August was already unbearably hot. It wasn't that Xie Jingan didn't want to walk faster, it was because he brought too many things, the official road was difficult to walk, and they couldn't resist falling. It has only been about two months since I walked away for precious things. Fortunately, Xie Jingan is no longer the weak physique that he had before crossing. He was taught by Lin Yan to practice martial arts with him every day. Although he is not a martial arts master, he is also Waiting for two or three strong men are not opponents, so they can withstand such a bumpy journey.

Xie Jing'an has been living in his fief since he crossed over, and this is the first time he has seen Chang'an. According to his thinking, no matter how the original owner is not welcomed by the people in the court, there should be many people coming to pick him up when he returns to Chang'an this time, but he doesn't want to There were indeed a lot of people, but they were all people who heard the news and came to see the excitement. The only ones with some status were King Tai and Kang An.

Although the King of Thailand and Xie Jingan are both princes, they are different from concubines, and their relationship is not very deep. Therefore, seeing Xie Jingan was only a little excited, and he walked towards him slowly with his servants, intending to salute, but Kang An just It's different, looking at Xie Jingan from a long distance, jumping up and down, even ignoring the identity of the princess, she lifted her skirt and ran towards him, the palace people behind couldn't catch up, they waved their hands and called him happily, " Third brother, third brother."

Although Xie Jing'an had never met Kang An, in his imagination, Kang An should be a very cute child, and now that he saw him, he was indeed so. Except that he was a little thinner, it was completely in line with his fantasy of his sister, so even if It was the first time we met, and Xie Jingan was not unfamiliar at all. He really regarded Kang An as his younger sister. When he saw her running over, he couldn't help showing a smile. He immediately got off his horse and walked a few steps forward to meet her. When she threw herself into her arms, she caught her and hugged her, and said with a smile: "Why do you come to greet me outside the city in person? If you just ran out like this, can the mother and concubine dare to rest assured?"

Although King Shun was very kind to Kang An in the past, but he has never been so close before. Kang An was surprised for a moment, then laughed more happily, hugged Xie Jingan's neck and said happily, like jumping beans: "Mother and concubine are naturally worried. I begged my father to come out. When I came out, mother and concubine was very angry. I'm afraid she will reprimand me when I go back."

After the two of them said these two sentences, the palace servants who were chasing Kang An also came to them. Seeing Xie Jingan hugging Kang An, their faces turned pale with shock, especially the older aunt who had a dark face. It seems like, if others would have come up to reprimand, but due to Xie Jingan's reputation, he dared not say anything radical, but he bowed and said: "His Royal Highness Shun put Princess Kang An down quickly, your highnesses As the heir of the emperor, how could he behave in such a bad manner, if this spreads to the empress empress, she will be held accountable again for concubine Hui to teach Princess Kang An."

Hearing this, Xie Jing'an knew the relationship between the Empress and Concubine Hui. He had heard that the Crown Prince didn't like the Empress, and heard that the Empress often made things difficult for Concubine Hui, and he didn't like her. As a man, now that he has made such great contributions, as long as he doesn't rebel, he can at most reprimand him for any wrong things, not to mention that he came back to Chang'an to make troubles, and he doesn't care if there is more or less, so there is no need at all. Taking the words of my aunt's education to heart, I waved my hand casually and said: "The king's fiefdom is far away now, and it will take a long time to come back under the order. Besides, Kang An is the king's own sister, so it doesn't matter if you get closer. If the stepmother blames her Come down, the king will bear it himself."

Then he turned around and ignored the nurturing aunt, still holding Kang An in his arms and asked with a smile: "Why are you and the fifth brother here to pick me up today, where are the other ministers? Could it be that they hate me so much that they don't even care about my appearance?" gone?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Kang An couldn't help but want to laugh, and leaned on Xie Jingan's shoulder and whispered: "Third brother returned to Chang'an, those ministers naturally dared not not come to pick them up, but they all fell ill, especially Lu Shangshu, listen Speaking of high fever for several days, I was too sick to get out of bed."

"Sick?" Xie Jingan was a little disbelieving, "It's fine if one is sick, but they are all sick, maybe they are pretending to be sick."

"I don't know," Kang An shook his head and said, "However, I heard from the palace people that the emperor also suspected that those ministers were pretending to be sick, so he specially sent an imperial doctor to see them, but the imperial doctor came back and reported that those ministers It wasn't pretending to be sick, it was indeed sick, but except for a few people who knocked their heads or hands and feet, everyone else felt cold. Many palace people in the palace said privately that they were afraid that those ministers would not dare to come to greet the three. Brother, I fell ill after taking a bath in cold water."

Xie Jing'an thought for a while, and felt that this was a ridiculous thing done by those ministers, so he couldn't help laughing, and said contemptuously: "They are clever, but do they just think that they can avoid this king? Since this king wants to When you meet them, you will naturally not let them go because they are sick."

Xie Jingan still had something to say that looked down on those ministers, but after all Kang An was a bit younger, some words were not suitable for her to listen to, so he stopped talking halfway, and asked about Concubine Hui's recent situation.

The two brothers and sisters, one asked seriously and the other answered seriously, and it took almost an incense stick of effort before they stopped. The king of Thailand is wide and fat, and he is not a person who can bear hardships, not to mention that the sun is so big now, he has long I got impatient with waiting, but he was not afraid of others, but he was afraid of this third elder brother. After all, he held back his temper and finally waited for the two of them to finish talking. He was afraid that the chat would continue, so he hurriedly interrupted and saluted: "Brother Sanhuang Traveling thousands of miles back to Chang'an, the boat and the car are tiring, you must be extremely tired, brother Yichen thinks that brother Sanhuang might as well go to the palace to meet the emperor earlier, and then go back to the palace to rest?"

Although Kang An was a child, he was eight years old after all, and it was fine to hold him for a while, but after holding him for so long, Xie Jingan's arms were already sore, and when he heard his words, he hurried down the slope to respond, Putting Kang'an down, he saluted King Tai and said with a smile: "What the fifth brother said is that I will meet my father first when I enter the palace, and I will talk to my fifth brother after I leave the palace."

Finally, he didn't have to continue basking in the sun anymore, the King of Thailand breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly returned the gift, and said that he is waiting for the third brother.

Although the King of Thailand was extremely respectful to him in words and deeds, Xie Jingan had the intention of sending the God of Plague to him no matter what he saw. It made him so frightened that he wished to send him away earlier, but that's fine, with the reputation of the original owner, even if he did something shocking again, it wouldn't be surprising.

Since the King of Thailand was not on Xie Jingan's list of troublemakers, Xie Jingan naturally didn't want to talk to him, so after exchanging a few words, he planned to get on his horse and set off, but Kang An who was standing beside him pulled the hem of his clothes just as soon as he made a move.

Xie Jingan looked down, and saw Kang An poking his head and looking behind him, while looking at something, he bent Xie Jingan down, and whispered in his ear: "Third brother, who is that general? Is there someone who is capable around you? But I always feel that he is very familiar, as if I have seen him around the prince, you just put him by your side, but have you checked out his details?"

At such a young age, he knows that the employer should check the details first. It seems that those who come out of the palace are not fuel-efficient lamps, but he has always been suspicious of the prince. In his impression, the prince should be very deep in the city, although not so Old, treacherous and cunning, he should be a scheming person, but seeing the crown prince doing such absurd things again and again, it really doesn't suit his status. Xie Jingan thought about it for a long time, and it can only be attributed to the reason that he was spoiled by Emperor Kang Ping and the empress.

A lot of thoughts turned around in a mess in his mind, Xie Jingan also looked back in the direction Kang An was looking at, then laughed, and said: "Your third brother is not a fool, as a feudal lord, what about someone who doesn't know the details?" Dare to put it by your side, that general is named Lin Mingyan, and he did serve as a guard by the prince's side earlier, but later his father was framed and sentenced to exile, so he moved to my side to do business. Speaking of which, you have to thank him General Lin, if it wasn't for him, your third brother wouldn't be able to win against Jaheo. It was he who led less than a thousand soldiers into the tiger's den and took back Tanping Pass. Can, such a hero with high martial arts, strength, bravery, and loyalty to your third brother, do you think it should be reused?"

Kang An never expected that such a slightly thin and indifferent young man would make such a miraculous achievement. He couldn't help being startled for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. He hurriedly stepped back to reveal his figure from behind Xie Jingan, facing Lin Yanyao He bowed down, and said gratefully: "Thank you, General Lin, for saving Kang'an from the fire and water. Kang'an is very grateful, and I will be rewarded in the future."

Lin Yan has always been a person with a cold expression, but for some reason, looking at Xie Jingan's smiling expression, and seeing Kang An saluting and thanking him, he always feels a little uncomfortable, and his ears are hot. He turned his body sideways to avoid Kang An's salute, and returned a salutation: "As a military general, the general should guard the border. This is the duty of the general. How can he receive such a great gift from Her Royal Highness? Please don't let the princess not We must destroy the young general."

It was the first time for Kang An to thank someone in such a serious manner. Furthermore, she was sincerely grateful to Lin Yan. Seeing that Lin Yan was not being greeted by her, she was immediately unhappy, and was about to insist on bowing down again. Once, Xie Jingan interrupted, waved his hand and said: "One is my dearest sister, and the other is my most trusted military commander. They are all considered as my own. Thank you for whatever you do. It's better not to stick to these vain rituals, let me enter the palace quickly."

After Xie Jingan said that, Kang An had no choice but to give up, but she didn't see Xie Jingan after a long time, and she didn't know when it would be until the next time. Looking back at each step, it was very pitiful. Xie Jingan felt soft when he saw it. He immediately forgot all the rules and walked back to Kang An's side. He bent down to look at her and said with a smile: "Kang An is so big, I'm afraid you have never ridden a horse before, how about I take you to ride a horse today?"

Xie Jing'an's words were really shocking, Kang An's eyes widened in surprise, and the palace officials were even more stunned. When they came back to their senses, they hurriedly tried to dissuade them, but Xie Jing'an had already hugged Kang An, and looked very winking at him. After Cui Tong brought the horse over, he stretched out his hand and lightly lifted Kang An onto the horse's back, stepped on the stirrup himself, and landed behind Kang An, pinched the horse's belly, and the horse immediately trotted up, screaming and screaming. The palace man who called threw it behind his back.

Xie Jingan guessed it right, as a princess, Kang An had never ridden a horse since she was a child, but now she was riding on a horse with Xie Jingan half in her arms, and she was chattering happily all the way.

Xie Jing'an was very impatient with those descendants of the ministers and aristocratic families in the court, but he was extremely patient with Kang An, listening carefully along the way, echoing a few words from time to time, and even coaxing Kang An into laughing non-stop.

The two rode together on the same horse for less than half an hour, and they were about to arrive at the palace, but when they passed by an alley, Xie Jingan suddenly noticed a gaze fixed on him, that gaze was very sharp, as if Holding his back like a sharp sword, he subconsciously pulled the reins to make the horse run slower, and at the same time turned his head to look in the direction he was looking at.

Xie Jing'an didn't see anyone, but saw a carriage parked by the side of the road surrounded by a few servants and guards, who looked like officials' children.

Xie Jingan guessed the identity of the owner of the carriage, and couldn't help frowning. He was about to send someone to ask who the carriage belonged to, when Kang An asked strangely: "What is Third Brother looking at? But that carriage?"

Xie Jingan nodded, looked at the carriage again, looked away, looked at Kang An and asked, "Do you know whose carriage it is?"

Kang An also glanced in the direction of the carriage, and said uncertainly for a while: "There is no emblem on the outside of the carriage, and I don't know who it belongs to, but I vaguely recognize a maid among the servants, who seems to belong to Miss Lu's family. Personal girl."

"The Lu family?" Xie Jingan recalled the materials of those ministers he had memorized, and said, "But Lu Shangshu from the Ministry of War?"

Kang An nodded and said: "This is the Lu family, probably the young lady of the Lu family heard the news that the emperor would marry her to the third brother, so she brought people to wait on the side of the road to see the third brother."

"What? What did you say?" Xie Jingan was shocked, and said incredulously, "A marriage?"
