After the sacrifice, Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi led the officials to reward the three armies and celebrated the festival with the soldiers.

Those officials who originally planned to go home for the festival had to stay. The emperor and the heroes didn't go home, so how dare they go home early.

Xiao Yu personally toasted the soldiers, and then sat back at the main table to have dinner with Pei Linzhi.While eating and chatting, I asked about the specific situation of fighting Dongrong.

In Pei Linzhi's letters, he always reported the good news but not the bad news. The number of casualties of the enemy army was clearly reported, and the number of soldiers killed and wounded by one's own side was a total number every time. In addition, there was a sentence that the casualties were much lower than that of the enemy army, but there was no exact death in battle. data.

So until the end of the war, Xiao Yu didn't know exactly how many soldiers died in battle.

Of course Pei Linzhi didn't intend to hide it from Xiao Yu, he knew that Xiao Yu always cherished human life the most and cared about the soldiers, if he knew that so many soldiers had been sacrificed, he would definitely be worried and have trouble sleeping and eating.

Now that he has returned after winning the battle, there is no need to hide it anymore. He truthfully told the number of soldiers killed in battle.

Xiao Yu heard this, and the wine glass brought to his mouth stopped in mid-air.Compared with the 10,000+ Eastern soldiers who were wiped out, the An army killed more than 6 soldiers, which is considered to have a considerable advantage.

However, these more than 6 soldiers are all living lives. In addition to the soldiers who died when they fought against Xirong, they unified the world, and a total of 10,000+ soldiers gave their lives.

This also means that 10,000+ families have lost their loved ones. Even if they win the battle, who can feel completely relaxed.

Peace and unity, dignity and glory are all bought with life and blood.

Xiao Yu raised his wine glass and slowly poured the wine in the glass on the ground, pouring three glasses in a row to comfort the souls who sacrificed heroically.

At the end, Xiao Yu sighed and said, "The posthumous pensions for the soldiers must be done properly. There will be a lot of things in the past few months, Teng Yun, please don't worry about it. You must distribute the pensions in place before moving the capital."

Min Chong replied respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the minister will make proper arrangements."

Pei Linzhi noticed that Xiao Yu's mood was affected, so he signaled Guan Shan and the others with his eyes.Guan Shan immediately understood, and quickly got up to toast Xiao Yu.Seeing this, the other generals quickly followed.

Guan Shan was quite discerning, and took the initiative to tell Xiao Yu the interesting things that happened during the war.

Xiao Yu saw that everyone was so enthusiastic, so he put his bad mood behind him and started drinking and chatting with everyone.

It was time to return to the palace, and the sun had already set to the west.Xiao Yu had already fallen asleep in the carriage, no wonder, he almost stayed up all night last night, went out early in the morning to pick up Pei Linzhi, it was a sacrifice and a celebration banquet, and he drank a lot of wine, even if it was rice wine, he drank too much still get drunk.

Pei Linzhi didn't ride a horse, so he rode in a carriage with him.As soon as he relaxed, he fell asleep on Pei Lin's lap shortly after getting in the car.

After the car stopped, Pei Linzhi didn't wake Xiao Yu up, but carried him off the carriage and walked straight to the bedroom.

A Ping followed behind, watching the master hugging his father frankly, not paying any attention to other people's eyes, as if what he was holding in his arms was not the most noble person in the world, but the one he loved the most.

Daddy is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, everything in the world is under his control, and he can be sure of victory in the face of any difficulties and obstacles. Only in front of the master can he really relax and slack off, no longer the emperor who looks down on the world, but A living human being who is afraid and vulnerable.

A Ping is 14 years old. When he was a child, he didn't understand the relationship between his father and his master. He just subconsciously felt that it was only natural for them to sleep together. After all, these are his two favorite people, and three people should sleep in the same bed. .

Later, when he grew up, he was asked to sleep by himself, and found that his father still slept with his master. At that time, he was puzzled for a while, and asked the people around him. They told him that his father's status was important, and someone would be against him. , he slept with daddy to protect daddy.

No matter how old he was, these reasons could no longer convince himself. He gradually understood the relationship between father and master, and he didn't find it too abrupt. responsibility on their shoulders.

Father and master cannot have children, they only have themselves as the heir, so he must work hard to be a qualified successor.It is also because of this awareness that he has become increasingly strict with himself.

Pei Linzhi carried Xiao Yu back to the bedroom, and when he put him on the couch, he found that Xiao Yu was wearing complicated clothes and couldn't lie down directly, so he had to hug him and remove the crown for him.

A Ping stood at the door and said, "Master, do you need my help?"

Pei Linzhi raised his head and glanced at A Ping: "Okay, let's help your father pick off this crown."

Aping hurried over to help.

Pei Linzhi looked at the little apprentice and said, "Ah Ping has grown a lot taller." This is because he looked at him carefully after he came back.

While busy, A Ping said, "After Master left, I grew an inch."

Pei Linzhi smiled and said, "That's right, you haven't missed your homework and kung fu, have you?"

"Responding to the master's words, I didn't fall behind. I hope I can learn it as soon as possible so that I can help my father."

Pei Linzhi smiled: "Ah Ping has really grown up, and his words have become more reserved. We master and apprentice can be regarded as like father and son, so you don't have to be so polite."

A Ping was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Okay. Master, what is it like in the north? Is it really that cold?"

Pei Linzhi thought for a while: "It's still quite cold in winter, longer than here, with four distinct seasons, and the conditions are worse than those in the south. But the north has a thickness and atmosphere that the south doesn't have. I think that's where an emperor should stay The living environment in the south is too gentle and comfortable, and it is easy to wear down people's fighting spirit. Your father said that you want to move the capital, and I agree."

"It makes me look forward to it too." A Ping finally took off Xiao Yu's crown.

Pei Linzhi laid Xiao Yu on the bed, turned around and patted A Ping on the shoulder: "You and your father should both like it very much."

A Ping nodded vigorously: "Then master and dad can take a rest, I'll go first, we can talk after master rests."

Seeing him leave, Pei Linzhi ordered the attendant at the door: "Have someone prepare water for me to bathe in."

The attendant said respectfully: "Go back to the general, the hot water is ready."

Pei Linzhi took off Xiao Yu's heavy gown, wiped off the thin beads of sweat on the tip of his nose with his hand, and looked down at his face carefully.

I don't know if it was caused by drinking or because of the heat, but Xiao Yu's cheeks were rosy and pale. Over the years, his appearance has not changed much, but he has become more mature and stable, with more and more flavor, just like fine wine, getting better and better with age .

Pei Linzhi couldn't help but lowered her head and kissed him on the lips.Xiao Yu, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know what he had dreamed of, so he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.Seeing that Pei Linzhi's throat tightened, he couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her again, condensing the long-term longing and longing into a deep and tender kiss.

Although Xiao Yu didn't wake up, he responded subconsciously. Pei Linzhi's heart ached from the kiss, afraid that he couldn't help it, so he backed away, straightened his martial robe, and turned to take a bath.

After cleaning, he returned to the bedroom, lay down beside Xiao Yu, took him into his arms, and hugged him for an afternoon nap.

When Xiao Yu opened his eyes, there was only faint yellow candlelight in the room, and it was already dark outside, he was at a loss for a while, what time is it?How do you sleep in bed?By the way, Rinzhi is back, where is he?

Xiao Yu hurriedly sat up: "Come here!"

There were footsteps outside, and a familiar voice said, "Are you awake?"

Xiao Yu's expression instantly relaxed, he looked at Pei Linzhi with a smirk, and stretched out his hand to him: "Scare me, I thought I was dreaming." His tone was a little coquettish.

Pei Linzhi came in, put the tray in his hand on the table beside him, turned around, walked to the bed and sat down, and smoothed his hair in front of him: "I'm here."

Xiao Yu raised his arms around his neck, buried him on the side of his neck, breathed in his scent: "Great, you're back."

Pei Linzhi hugged him tightly, and said in a gentle voice, "I won't leave when I come back this time, and I will always be with you."

"It's settled, I won't leave in the future." Xiao Yu rubbed against him vigorously, like a cat reunited with its master after a long absence.

Pei Linzhi smiled lightly: "Well, don't go."

Xiao Yu asked: "What time is it? I have been asleep for so long, why didn't you wake me up?" He had never slept until dark.

Pei Linzhi raised his hand to caress the back of his head: "Why did you wake you up?"

"You finally came back, of course I want to accompany you well. I actually fell asleep, what a waste of time." Xiao Yu felt unwilling, feeling that he had wasted a lot of time with Pei Linzhi.

Pei Linzhi suddenly turned his head and bit his ear lightly, and blew into his ear: "It won't be wasted. I deliberately didn't call you, so that you can get enough sleep during the day and sleep less at night."

Xiao Yu was blown to the bone by this breath. Thinking of the deep meaning of what he said, he suddenly felt an electric tingling sensation from his tailbone, and couldn't help but raised his hand to pinch his waist.

Pei Linzhi suddenly laughed out loud: "It seems that Your Majesty is getting impatient. My Majesty, do you eat first, or me first?"

Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect this guy to be quite dishonest, so he turned his head and licked Pei Linzhi's earlobe. Pei Linzhi trembled, put his hands on his neck, and was about to kiss him.

Xiao Yu raised his hand to cover Pei Linzhi's mouth, and said slowly, "Wait a minute, I'll eat first, and then you." There was a narrow smile on the corners of his eyebrows, eyes and mouth.

Pei Linzhi looked at him helplessly and dotingly, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to tease people, so he kissed him on the palm of his hand: "Okay, you eat first, and then I will eat you."

Xiao Yu came back after being teased, withdrew his hand, his face flushed a little: "I'll go wash my face first."

Pei Linzhi chuckled, and liked to see him flustered: "Go."

It was already past dinner time, Pei Linzhi personally brought Xiao Yu's meal to the bedroom, if he didn't wake up, it's time to wake him up.Now he was awake, just in time to get up and eat.

The two sat opposite each other around the candlelight, Xiao Yu was eating, and Pei Linzhi watched him eat from the opposite side.

Xiao Yu was very satisfied. Such a day was a dream. He picked up a piece of meat on the plate and asked, "What kind of meat is this? I haven't eaten it before."

Xiao Yu smiled: "Donkey meat in sauce."

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Did you bring it back?"

"Well. It's good to eat in the north, so I want you to try it too. How do you like it?"

"Delicious." Xiao Yu stuffed one piece into his mouth happily, picked up another piece, and fed it to Pei Linzhi's mouth. Pei Linzhi opened his mouth to take it.

Xiao Yu swallowed the food and said, "Why didn't Ji Hai come back again? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"He asked to stay. The other generals have families and want to come back and have a look."

Xiao Yu frowned: "It can't be because of this reason that he won't come back. He is 27 years old and hasn't married yet. Yu'er has told me many times to give her second brother a marriage. I can't do it However, I also hope that he can come back to find a marriage by himself. You are his master, so don't worry about him."

Pei Linzhi spread his hands and showed a helpless smile: "It's really wronged, why didn't I mention it? I have said it several times, but his attitude is not very clear. Either I decide, tell him a marriage, it's settled, Just let him come back and get married."

Xiao Yu shook his head: "Then I still have to seek his opinion first. I hope that people around me can marry and love freely. Even if it is a blind date, you have to be willing. Let Ji Hai return to Chang'an after the capital is moved. He has been fighting for so many years, and if he is rewarded for his achievements, he should be named a general of hussars."

Pei Linzhi laughed: "That really sealed his heart."

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Of course, he has been with me for so many years, how can I still not know him? The general he admires most is Huo Qubing. He conquered things and expelled the barbarians, and he made great achievements in battle. He is really similar to Huo Qubing .”

"Then when will we start moving the capital?"

Xiao Yu said: "August, when the weather is no longer hot, we should go to Chang'an anyway in two months. Chang'an is not cold in October. After everyone settles down, we can spend the winter."

Pei Linzhi nodded: "It's so good!" Then he suddenly stretched out his finger, wiped off the sauce on Xiao Yu's lower lip, retracted it and stretched out his tongue to lick the pulp of his finger.

Xiao Yu watched his sultry movements, took a breath, his mind was a little blank, and for a moment he forgot what he was doing.

Pei Linzhi smiled and said: "You eat a little slowly, do you want me to feed you?"

Xiao Yu stuck out his tongue and licked the spot he wiped, his cheeks were slightly red: "How can I be slow!"

"It's not too slow, but I can't wait." Pei Linzhi said with a teasing tone.

In fact, Xiao Yu was already [-]% full. Hearing what he said, he deliberately slowed down, chewed and swallowed more slowly, and made a happy expression while eating, just to whet his appetite.

Pei Linzhi sensed his intentions, so he simply grabbed his chopsticks and put them on the table, walked around to the opposite side, and hugged him up: "I see that your majesty is already full, so don't waste time on it. Next Let me serve Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu laughed out loud: "General Pei doesn't seem to be very good at it, he doesn't even have the patience, how did he win the battle?"

Pei Linzhi put the man on the couch, pressed directly on him, and raised his eyebrows: "I can't do it? Is it because I have been away from His Majesty for too long, and His Majesty has forgotten my ability? Then I will let His Majesty review your ability." .” Then he bowed his head and kissed her.

On the first day of August in the 12th year of the early days, Jianye City was empty of thousands of people, and all the people in the city gathered on the North and South Streets to send His Majesty the Emperor away from Jianye.

Although it had been several months since they heard the news of the capital move, the people were all sad when this day came. They were reluctant to let such a good emperor go elsewhere. It would be nice if he stayed in Jianye.

Many people are appealing: "Your Majesty, stay!" "Stay!"

There were endless voices to persuade him to stay, and Xiao Yu never thought that the common people would be so reluctant to let him move away from Jianye.Although he likes Jianye very much, the world is unified, and this place is no longer suitable for a capital city, so he has to move.

A Ping, who was riding in the carriage with him, turned his head back from the window: "Daddy, the people don't want you to leave."

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly: "I don't want to leave either, but I have to."

A Ping nodded vigorously: "I know. I am just proud of my father, who is so loved by the people. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, so my father can rule the world. In the future, I will also be an emperor loved by the people."

Xiao Yu stroked A Ping's head, and smiled gratifiedly: "Only by putting the people first, can we truly win the hearts of the world."

"My child remembers!"

After leaving the city, there are still dense crowds of people who came to see him off outside the city, many of them came from the suburbs of the city, and some even came from other places to see him off.

Surrounded by everyone, Xiao Yu boarded the dragon boat. Looking back, there were countless people seeing off on the shore.

He raised his hand and waved to the people on the shore, and shouts erupted from the crowd: "Long live Your Majesty!" "Farewell to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yu looked at the crowd, feeling a little sad suddenly, leaving Jianye, will he come back in the future?

Pei Linzhi seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said next to him: "Your Majesty, don't be sad. Doesn't Your Majesty still want to explore overseas in the future? There will be a chance to come back."

Xiao Yu felt a little relieved when he heard his words, isn't it, this is the starting point of the journey of the stars and the sea.

Pei Linzhi waved his hand: "Set sail!"
