Chapter 461: Returning To Beijing
The rebellion was pacified, and the news quickly spread to Yongzhou. After hearing the news, Zhao Guozheng couldn't wait to lead the mission team to Fengzhou City.
This time it has passed the agreed return time, Zhao Guozheng is already a little anxious, and he also took a box of colored glaze from Chu State, if he doesn't hurry up and go back to complete this matter for Chu State, he will not feel at ease.
Take whoever's money to do their business.
He is a very principled person.
In Xu Qing's room
Xu Qing and Long Bing'er had just finished eating hot pot, or in other words, they had just finished the breakup meal.
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er and said, "Do you really want to go back to Zhao Country?"
Long Binger hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "En."
Xu Qing said: "I'll see you off."
Long Binger said: "Okay."
When the two reached the gate of the embassy, Envoy Zhao Guozheng was already waiting there with a motorcade.
Zhao Guozheng looked at Xu Qing cupped hands and said: "Congratulations to your country for suppressing the rebellion and returning the world to a bright future."
Xu Qing also cupped hands and said: "We're all happy, we're happy together. Thanks to the help of your country's deputy envoy, the suppression of bandits went so smoothly."
Zhao Guozheng said: "The imperial court is pressing hard, so I won't stay any longer, and I will leave."
Xu Qing suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait a minute."
After speaking, he returned to the room, took out the candy in the room and put it on the mission's carriage, Long Binger's candy.
When it was time to say goodbye, Long Binger, a silly girl, was so preoccupied with her that she even forgot the most important candy in her room, she couldn't look at her like that.
Long Binger took one last look at Xu Qing and said, "Goodbye."
After finishing speaking, she got into the carriage and moved it into the carriage together with her sugar.
...
"Reluctant?"
When Xu Qing stood at the same spot and quietly watched the mission go away, a voice suddenly came from beside him.
Xu Qing turned her head to look at Xiao Ye who walked to her side without knowing why.
I remember that during the last two farewells, the Xian Wang suddenly appeared beside him for no reason, but now the Xian Wang did not come, and his son was replaced.
Does this family love Eight Trigrams so much?
Xu Qing said: "Does Brother Xiao's family like to suddenly appear beside others so much?"
Xiao Ye shook his head: "No, it's time for us to set off and return to Beijing. Brother Xu, really don't want to chase after him? We won't be able to catch up if it's too late."
Xu Qing sighed and said, "Let's go."
Xiao Ye was a little excited and said: "Brother Xu is going to catch up?"
Xu Qing said: "Go back to Beijing."
...
Xu Qing and Xiao Ye led the Shadow Guards to escort the prisoners from Fengzhou to Yongzhou.
When he arrived in Yongzhou, he was warmly received by Governor Dong. Because he was bored, he was dragged by Xiao Ye to listen to the music in the Piaoxiangyuan.
When departing from Yongzhou, Xu Qing invited Li Dong and Liu Ji to go to the capital again, but there were old people at home to support, so it was not suitable for them to travel far away, so Xu Qing had no choice but to go with them.
Because the prisoners are being escorted, it will take more time to return, not only the prisoners but also the three family properties escorted behind the team.
The family properties accumulated by the three families for decades now belong to the virtuous king.
It took a full six days before Xu Qing saw the gate of the capital.
It can be said that the city gate is quite lively at this moment.
The Emperor of Chu personally took all the civil and military officials to welcome the returning soldiers in front of the gate of the capital.
Originally, there was no need for the emperor to personally lead civil and military officials to greet them in front of the gate of the capital to suppress bandits and ransack homes.
But the banner they played this time was counter-insurgency.
Moreover, the state treasury of Chu State was severely affected by the disaster and the treasury was short of money, so they needed to pawn the royal family's treasures, and they even put down a group of rebels who were approaching the city of Zhou even when they could not spend much troops.
Bandit suppression and rebellion are two concepts.
It's a full set of acting.
So the emperor also sat on the imperial chariot against the sun and went out of the city to welcome the triumphant soldiers who had returned from the rebellion.
In fact, who knows, as long as the shadow guards are not handed over to the idiot King Qi, they can win any fight.
Speaking of King Qi, his current situation is not very good. He was already badly spoiled by bandits, and at the end he was kicked by Xiao Ye with personal grievances.
Until now, I still have gauze wrapped around my body.
It seems that he can be honest for a long time again.
...
Xu Qing got out of the carriage, and was a little surprised when he looked forward. Why were the civil and military officials who came out of the city to greet him a little different from when he left Beijing?
A lot of old faces were lost, and a lot of new faces were added.
However, without thinking too much, he followed Xiao Ye who got off his horse and walked to the front of Yu Chuan, bowed and said: "I see Your Majesty."
The Emperor of Chu supported Xu Qing with one hand and Xiao Ye with the other, and said with a smile, "It's been a hard journey to suppress the rebellion. I have already prepared a royal banquet for you in the palace. Follow me back to the palace to have the banquet."
After all, the Emperor Chu didn't go up to the court, just turned around and walked towards the palace with a smile on his face.
Xiao Ye and Xu Qing followed behind.
Xiao Ye looked around for a while, then looked at Xu Qing who was at the side suspiciously: "Why didn't the father come?"
Xu Qing looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "It must be too hot outside."
The smile on Chu Huang's face who was walking ahead finally took on a far-fetched look.
Brother Damn it!
You are noble! You are amazing!
On such a hot day, you are eating smoothies in the study, but I have to go all the way out of the city to welcome you!
At this time, Emperor Chu could still recall what his brother said to him today: "Everyone has made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion. As an emperor, shouldn't he go out of the city to greet him in person? Shouldn't he personally reward the soldiers who returned from suppressing the rebellion?" ?”
Emperor Chu asked him at the beginning: "Why don't you go?"
The words of King Xian still ring in my ears at this moment: "It's so hot outside today, and I'm not stupid. By the way, the concubine specially prepared grape smoothies for me today, so I really can't leave..."
...
Xu Qing and Xiao Ye followed Emperor Chu all the way to the Great Hall where the imperial banquet was held.
Originally, it was a great honor to be favored by the emperor, and to attend the imperial banquet, but Xu Qing had already seen through the "brothers and brothers respectful" between Emperor Chu and King Xian, and he was not interested in this imperial banquet at all. No.
Rather than having dinner here with the emperor and all civil and military officials, he wanted to go home and take care of his wife.
It was not easy until the end of the banquet.
Just when Xu Qing was about to return home, he was invited to the palace by the people of Prince Xian's Palace.
After Xu Qing walked through the front yard of the palace and the martial arts arena, he came to the study of the virtuous king.
However, Xu Qing felt that the Xianwang Mansion was a bit empty.
King Xian is a man of martial arts, there are many weapons in the front yard, martial arts arena and even in the study.
At this time, not to mention that there were not many weapons left on the martial arts arena, even the black iron sword that had been placed on the wooden stand in the study room all year round was gone.
Seeing Xu Qing coming in, the virtuous king behind the desk case put down the military book in his hand, looked at Xu Qing and said, "Here, sit down."
Xu Qing asked suspiciously: "Where did the great black iron sword that the lord always loves go?"
King Xian looked at Xu Qing with a bit of resentment on his face: "Go to your martial arts arena and see, maybe you can find it."
