Rebirth of Tao Yao

The road to the Northern Expedition was arduous and difficult, but in the end it never failed Liang Jun who ventured deep into the grassland.

Under the guidance of that crude map, after several times of finding the wrong way, Yan Li and others finally determined the location of the royal court based on the map that carried too much blood and hope.

What happened afterwards was easier than expected. Yan Li divided his troops into two ways to attack the royal court. Although there were obstacles during the period, it was surprisingly not intense—in the previous battle with the frontier army, all the tribes in the grassland lost all their troops. Not small, and now that the royal court is in decline, these tribes are not so dedicated to blocking and resisting Liang Jun.Most of them chose to preserve their strength, but they forgot that watching and helping each other is the long-term way.

The two armies finally joined forces at the royal court, and it took less than half a month to break through the royal court, which was once out of reach and made Liang Guo fearful.The Huren Khan was captured, and all the nobles in the royal court were captured except those who died in battle, and ten of the soldiers and horses in the royal court were either killed or captured. So far, the Northern Expedition can be regarded as a great victory.

Later, on the way back, Yan Li took advantage of his aura and broke through two big tribes, taking the opportunity to beat up these barbarians who were entrenched in the grassland even more. The name of "Wolf General" spread throughout the grasslands, making the barbarians frightened when they heard about it.

Yan Li and the others walked for more than four months from the border town to the royal court, but the journey back seemed much shorter.

It was early winter, and the weather was getting colder, but Liang Jun, who had returned from a great victory, could not feel the chill at all... The pain of years of fighting was vented on the day they broke the royal court. They avenged their revenge and returned home After that, there will be a peaceful and stable day waiting for them.In addition, the wealth of the nobles in the royal court also exceeded everyone's expectations, and everyone got some spoils of war more or less.

Thinking about the days after returning home, the pace of everyone marching was much lighter than usual.Including Yan Li, she is more eager to go home than anyone else. Although the young general looks calm, his eyes are full of vigor and vigor, and people familiar with her can see her excitement at a glance.

Everyone thought that Yan Li's high spirits were due to the complete victory of the Northern Expedition, and that after she returned to Beijing, the reputation of the Yan family would be revived, and most of the people were also looking forward to this.However, what everyone didn't expect was that General Yan, who led them into the grassland, broke the king's court, and spread his fame all over the grassland, suddenly disappeared when he was still a few days away from the border town!

It is not entirely true to say that he disappeared, but in fact, after setting up camp for the night that day, Yan Li disappeared from the tent the next day.She left, taking only two dead guards trained by the Yan family, leaving behind the commander's seal and a letter - directly hang the seal and leave.

The little general walked very gracefully, leaving all the people in the army who had worked until the truth were dumbfounded.The generals who were close to Yan's family felt at a loss. They didn't understand that Yan Li had made great contributions, and it was time to revitalize the family, so why did he retreat in a hurry?The generals who were recruited or placed in the army by the new emperor were even more at a loss. They were still discussing how to suppress Yan Li a few days ago, but in the end the back foot disappeared!

Fame and wealth, prosperity and wealth, just eight words are admired by the world.

However, these things seemed to have become floating clouds in front of Yan Li, and even the military achievements made by desperate efforts were never taken seriously by this person.She walked gracefully and without hesitation, as if she had slapped those people with evil intentions in the face, and she sneered along the way.

There was a long silence in the main tent, and finally Gao Dashan stood up, glanced at the handsome seal on the case table, and said: "General Yan is gone, we are only a few days away from the border town, and we are not alone. Let's break camp and set off."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and someone asked, "Aren't we going to chase?"

Gao Dashan smiled, and that smile seemed to be tinged with sarcasm, and his gaze inadvertently swept across the people in the tent: "What are you chasing? General Yan is leaving, I don't believe anyone can catch up! And even if So what if you catch up, do you think she has decided to leave, will she come back?" After a pause, he continued: "For the time being, it's better not to let too many people know about the general's disappearance."

After getting along for several months, everyone has also understood Yan Li's temper, and they know that she has a temperament that is uncompromising.Although there are still people who are confused and don't understand why Yan Li left in such a hurry that he couldn't wait to go back to the border town, but they all know that Gao Dashan's words are true.And now that Yan Li's prestige in the army is at its peak, if she suddenly said that she had left with her seal, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of turmoil in the army.

Finally, with the sigh of the veteran in the battalion, everyone finally accepted this fact.I just don't know how the new emperor will feel when he sees the letter of resignation left by Yan Li on the court case when the news comes back to Beijing in the future.

Will he regret it?Or will you be overjoyed?But these have nothing to do with Yan Li.

****************************************************************************

After Yan Li left the barracks, he changed into regular clothes, rode his horse and led his men for hundreds of miles overnight, and ran directly out of the scope of Liang Jun's scouts.She didn't plan to go back to the border town after the seal was signed, so she sent someone back to the general's mansion in the border town to pass the news and pick up her daughter-in-law while continuing to ride south. Find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and live a peaceful life incognito!

This was something Yan Li had thought about before going out for the expedition, but at that time he didn't know whether he would return safely, so he didn't dare to make such a wish with Wen Ziran.Now that she has finally fulfilled her responsibilities and returned, she does not want to be entangled with the monarch of her home country for the rest of her life.

Yan Li hurried back, seeing that she was about to reach the border town and see Wen Ziran, but she began to hesitate and worry.

The accompanying personal guards couldn't understand seeing his general riding a horse walking slower and slower, touching his shoulders, waist, and face from time to time.Until the little general frowned, pointed at his face and turned to ask him: "Is this scar on my face very ugly from time to time?"

The personal guard suddenly realized, stared at Yan Li seriously, then shook his head firmly and said: "Not at all. The general was born handsome, he looked weaker at first, but now with this scar, he looks more heroic. After finishing speaking, he saw that Yan Li's face was not very good-looking, so he changed his mouth and said: "Actually, the scar is not deep. If the general doesn't like it, he can take some medicine later and it will disappear."

When breaking through the royal court, Yan Li took the lead, so he inevitably suffered some injuries.In addition to the shoulder and waist, the right cheek was also scratched by Liu Ya. The thin wound was less than two inches long. It didn't look serious or ugly, but the wound was disfigured on the face.

Of course, there is no shortage of scar-removing medicine in the Yan family, even if Wen Ziran is really lacking, he will also prepare it. However, appearing in front of his daughter-in-law in this appearance, the little general still wants to frown unconsciously - after all, the daughter's family still cares about appearance, even if it is Yan Li, who doesn't look like a woman at all, also wants to return to Wen Ziran with the best appearance.It's a pity that she was careful in every possible way, she saved her life but came back disfigured, I was really afraid that her daughter-in-law would dislike her.

Well, such worries are unfounded. Yan Li felt inexplicably melancholy for a while, then turned her head and forgot about the closeness to her hometown—anyway, the daughter-in-law can’t see it, as long as she takes medicine to remove the scars after she returns, then Just let people touch your face.

But before that, it was more important to see his wife!

Speeding up the horse, the army had to go for five or six days, and Yan Li and his personal guards finished the journey in two days.Seeing the familiar gate of the border city from afar, she had no intention of stepping in again. After all, there were too many people who knew her in the city, and she didn't want to reveal her whereabouts.So she only took one look at the city that grew up with her from a distance, and she resolutely pulled the reins, and set foot on the west mountain to circle the city.

A few farmers who happened to pass by looked at her back, and felt vaguely familiar, but they didn't remember who this thin back was.They returned home with empty baskets, and the peaceful life made them quickly forget about those cruel wars.

It took more than half a day to bypass the border town. Outside the south city, there was already a carriage parked at the foot of the West Mountain.

Yan Li saw the familiar face of the driving guard at a glance, and a smile burst out on his slightly weathered face.She drove the horse and ran directly to the side of the carriage. Before the guard got off the carriage or said anything to her, she threw off the rein and jumped directly onto the shaft from the horse's back with a long leg lift.

As a result, the carriage shook, and the woman in the carriage raised her head, only to see that the heavy curtain on the opposite side had been lifted, and a strange but familiar figure was walking towards her in the bright sunlight outside the carriage... Slightly against the light, let For a moment, the person couldn't see the person's face clearly, only from the outline of that glance, it seemed to be a bit different from the image in her mind, but as the person approached, it gradually overlapped with the person in her heart.

Yan Li jumped on the carriage, walked into the carriage, saw his daughter-in-law whom he had been separated for several months at a glance, and greeted her happily.She squatted halfway in front of Wen Ziran who was sitting, her brows softened and her hostility faded, her eyes sparkled and she looked at the man and said softly, "Zi Ran, I'm back."

Wen Ziran stared fixedly at her face for a long time, then frowned and said with a smile: "Just come back."

With only four short words, Yan Li's eyes suddenly became hot - no one is born strong.Yan Li also panicked when leading an army of tens of thousands lost in the depths of the grassland.Yan Li was also afraid when the army ran out of water and food.Yan Li also hesitated when the unrestrained herdsman hated him.But fortunately, she finally came back, let go of responsibility, killing, and honor, and waited for a gentle word.

Gently burying his head in Wen Ziran's arms, Yan Li hugged Wen Ziran's waist for a while before calming down.She raised the corners of her lips, and said to Wen Ziran in a brisk voice: "Okay, I'm back, and my future merits and demerits are no longer my business. Let's go south, choose a place you like, and be safe and sound." Live the rest of your life, okay?"

Wen Ziran raised his hand when she finished speaking, touched the thin scar on her face before Yan Li could stop her, and said softly but refused: "Not good." Before Yan Li changed his face, he smiled again: "There are so many scenery in this world that I have never seen before, Ali will show me, okay?"

Yan Li just took Wen Ziran's hand, but was startled when he heard the words, and immediately raised his head and widened his eyes, facing the smiling eyes of the beautiful woman in front of him - it was the first time there was her in the dark eyes of the past figure!
