Great Tang princess

Chapter 311 Homecoming

It was expected that Tubo would send envoys, but Li Yuechen did not expect to go with them.

After sending away the messengers, Li Yuechen couldn't help laughing: "These people are quite courageous, aren't you afraid that I will cut them off halfway?"

Geng Yunqiang thought for a while: "Will there be other purposes? For example, to save Lun Qinling..."

"Do they have the guts?" Li Yuechen asked back.

"Your Highness, no matter what, you must be on guard!" Geng Yunqiang reminded.

"Well..." Li Yuechen nodded, "I leave this matter to you. In short, you must be optimistic about Qinling! I want him to go to Dongdu alive!"

Geng Yunqiang immediately saluted and agreed: "Yes!"

Li Yuechen didn't take this matter too seriously. Now that Lun Qinling has been arrested, it is absolutely impossible for them to rescue him!

If they dared to make trouble on the way to Dongdu, Li Yuechen would dare to launch the hot air balloon into the sky and bomb the Potala Palace with the remaining grenades.

After all, if you dare to make trouble and save people on the road, you can say that you are trying to assassinate the princess. If you really go to bomb the Potala Palace, you don't have to worry about making excuses on your face.

……

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

After all, the Shangyuan Festival in the city is not as lively as Dongdu or Chang'an. The main reason is that there is no curfew system here, and the people are more used to traveling at night.

In addition, the local economy is not developed enough, so there are not many lanterns. Basically, some businessmen with better family conditions will make some lanterns of various shapes on the street at the entrance.

Ordinary people basically gather on the street, and it is considered a festival to put off Kongming lanterns and the like.

On the night of Shangyuan Festival, Li Yuechen sat in the courtyard of the Dudu Mansion with his master Liu Rengui and Heizhi Changzhi, and put a Kongming lantern together. Afterwards, they sat down to enjoy the moon and drink wine. It was considered a festival.

There are not many clouds tonight, and the nearly full moon hangs in the sky, making the surrounding Kongming lanterns look like stars.

"Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head to think of your hometown..."

Li Yuechen whispered something softly, and then said to himself: "Speaking of which, I miss the two adults a little."

"Huh?" Liu Rengui was slightly taken aback: "What a poem!"

"Hey, it's just that I feel it again." Li Yuechen pretended to be aggressive, and apologized to Li Bai in his heart.

But if you think about it carefully, now that history has changed so much, whether Li Bai can still be born is probably a big problem.

The black-toothed Changzhi next to him drank a little too much, and he started talking with his tongue, muttering something in his mouth.

He is from Baekje, and he used to speak Chinese with an accent, but now he has a big tongue, so I can't tell what he is saying at all.

Li Yuechen and Liu Rengui looked at each other and smiled, and began to chat about some homework.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed by like this.

……

Two days later, on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the new governor of Yizhou, Tang Sui, finally arrived with his family.

Li Yuechen sent Geng Yunqiang out of the city to meet him, and then met him in the governor's mansion.

Tang Sui is now close to 50 years old, but his beard is not very long, and his head looks pretty good.

He was about the same height as Li Yuechen, and he was thin and thin. When he got off the carriage and saw Li Yuechen, he immediately brought his family to salute.

"Okay, the governor of the Tang Dynasty is exempt from the ceremony. You have been working hard all the way during the New Year's Eve. Let's take a good rest. Tonight, the palace will welcome you." Li Yuechen said with a smile.

Several of Tang Sui's children are now 30 years old. After saluting, they all looked at Li Yuechen with admiration.

There is no way, her reputation is too loud in the army now, almost everyone wants to see what this princess actually looks like.

As soon as they meet, they can basically capture a lot of fans.

After all, Li Yuechen is not only famous, but also very beautiful in appearance. In Dongdu, he is also called the number one beauty in the Tang Dynasty.

At least none of the women in the minister's family can compare with her in appearance.

In terms of appearance alone, there are actually quite a few people who are similar to her. For example, Wei Lian'er, the current Crown Princess, is no worse than Li Yuechen in appearance.

But the temperament on the body is completely different.

Because of her personality and attire, the heroic spirit on Li Yuechen gave her a kind of neutral beauty, she could be very beautiful and cute, and she could also be handsome and cool, it didn't violate her harmony at all.

……

In the evening, Li Yuechen hosted a banquet to welcome Tang Sui and his family.

The princess personally hosted a banquet to welcome the wind. This is an honor that ordinary people can't even imagine, and it makes Tang Sui's family feel deeply honored.

I didn't talk about work at night, just to meet the trend and get to know each other.

At the dinner table, it is always the fastest way to meet and understand a person.

Although Princess Taiping had a great reputation, it was only after having dinner together that Tang Sui could understand what kind of person she was.

But the easy-going princess seemed to make his sons admire him even more.

I didn't talk about any work that night, and Li Yuechen and Tang Sui started handing over work after waking up the next day.

It took three days to hand over all the work. On the 21st of the first lunar month, the team of Tubo envoys also came to Yizhou to meet Li Yuechen.

I don't know if it was because I was afraid of causing the princess to misunderstand, but the number of Tubo envoys this time was not large, and there were only a little over 100 people in total. In the envoy team, the number is very small.

And the leader among them was actually an acquaintance, Zhong Cong, Li Yuechen had met this person once when he was a child.

Inside Li Yuechen's tent, Zhong Cong saluted immediately after entering: "I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

"Excuse me." Li Yuechen raised his hand, then smiled slightly, "When I saw you when I was young, the plateau red on your face was not very obvious, but after a few years, it became thicker."

"Living on the plateau for many years, it is unavoidable." Zhong Cong smiled, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for willing to go with us this time."

"To be honest, I am a little curious." Li Yuechen asked, "Now that the war has just ended, aren't you afraid that I will order you to be killed halfway?"

Zhong Cong lowered his head and said, "The two countries are at war, so don't behead them. I believe Her Royal Highness will still abide by the rules."

His tone was very calm, and it could be heard that his emotions were very calm, without the slightest fear.

Regarding this, Li Yuechen just smiled, and then paid his respects to the orc Ang Fulai and poured him a cup of tea: "You must be very clear that Lun Qinling is in my hands at this time. If you propose to go with me at this time, I have to doubt your purpose..."

"Because of this, there are only a hundred people in the mission team this time..." Zhong Cong replied, then took the tea cup that Fu Lai handed over, and took a sip.

"Well...don't worry, I won't let my guard down just because you have a small number of people!" Li Yuechen laughed, "No matter what, I will let him see the saint alive!"

When saying this, Li Yuechen especially emphasized the word "alive".

Zhong Cong still had no expression on his face, just smiled to show that he understood, but this smile was a bit stiff no matter how you looked at it.

Although the number of opponents is small, Li Yuechen will not let down his vigilance just because of this.

In any case, the news that Lun Qinling was captured alive has probably been shown off to the ministers by the old man.

In this case, if Lun Qinling died after returning, although there would be no problem, it would still be a small blow to the princess's reputation.

Seeing the lovely smile on her face, Zhong Cong couldn't help but sigh.

It's really unexpected that the cute little girl at the beginning has become so difficult to deal with now...

Perhaps the only thing that remains the same is the cute smile on his face, but now it seems that there is a little sinister in this cute smile.

……

After the Tubo envoy team came to rest for a day, the army set off the next day.

It was very fast when it came over, but it was a bit troublesome to go back this time.

Because there were more than [-] prisoners and Lun Qinling, Li Yuechen decided to let the Heyuan Army return to the Eastern Capital with him.

By the way, when he was writing the letter, he asked his sister-in-law to inform the Shangyi Bureau to speed up the work on the loom, and to produce [-] bolts of silk to reward the Heyuan Army, as a token of their not looting the people in Yizhou. award.

So let them go back by the way, and give them the reward silk at that time.

With such a huge team, the speed of travel was naturally much slower. Li Yuechen estimated that it would be April when they returned to the Eastern Capital.

……

On the way back, Zhong Cong proposed to meet Lun Qinling and talk to him, but was rejected by Li Yuechen.

Tell them that they can wait until they meet the saint in Dongdu, and they will have time to meet alone.

Before seeing the emperor, Lun Qinling could not see anyone.

At the same time, he also ordered Geng Yun to forcefully send soldiers to guard him. In short, he cannot be let out of sight, and he must be guaranteed to be alive.

Zhong Cong and others tried many methods, but they all ended in failure. Let alone seeing Qinling, they didn't even know where he was imprisoned.

Qianniuwei's camping method is quite special, and the patrol time is extremely precise. It is impossible for people of this era to sneak into it.

As for entering from the front, don't even think about it.

One night, Zhong Cong sent someone to try to sneak in at night, but he was still more than ten feet away from the opponent's camp. A dozen soldiers had already run out from the opponent's camp, and asked him what he was doing here.

He knew very well that there must be secret sentries in this camp, but unfortunately, the exact location couldn't be found at all, let alone found out.

……

It was already the ninth day of April when I passed by Chang'an and stepped on the dusty hardened road.

Zhong Cong sighed helplessly, at this point, it seemed impossible to kill Lun Qinling under the eyes of His Highness.

In this way, Tubo will fall into a very passive position in the next negotiation.

However, Li Yuechen has been in a good mood recently, and he will be able to see his parents soon, and at the same time, he will be able to see what his nephew looks like.

Walking on the dusty and hardened road, Zhong Cong felt very complicated.

He had thought about whether he should try to forcibly storm Qianniuwei's barracks, but he was suppressed as soon as the idea was born.

It's so unrealistic!
Qianniuwei is like a princess who is in the army. The princess is in Qianniuwei's camp every day, forcibly attacking her, which is no different from assassinating the princess, and it will lead to more complicated and terrible consequences.

Not to mention whether it can rush in is another matter. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, judging from the way Qianniuwei usually behaves, his combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to that of ordinary troops.

Not to mention that there are vehicles that can fly into the sky and weapons that can explode. If you forcefully attack such an army, you may be blown to ashes if you can't even enter the gate.

In the Battle of Yizhou some time ago, the [-] Tubo soldiers were not wiped out, and many people ran back.

So whether it is a hot air balloon or a grenade, it has spread to Tubo.

It's hard to believe, but since so many people who ran back have said so, I guess there can be no falsehood.

Under such circumstances, it is a trivial matter to forcibly attack the princess barracks, but it may bring catastrophe to Tubo.

After deducing all the possibilities in his mind, Zhong Cong sighed helplessly...

……

On April [-]th, Dongdu is within sight.

While walking, the soldier in front suddenly came running back: "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince and several other Highnesses have already met him ten miles outside the city."

Hearing the report, Li Yuechen agreed, then turned his head and said, "I will go ahead!"

After finishing speaking, he galloped on his horse and headed straight for the luxurious four-wheeled carriage that had appeared in his field of vision and gradually enlarged.

Before reaching the carriage, he could already see the familiar figures standing in front of the carriage.

The war horse stopped in front of several people, Li Yuechen turned over and jumped down, without saying a word, immediately opened his arms to embrace the two princesses Yiyang and Xuancheng in his arms.

"You two sisters, haven't seen each other for a long time, do you miss me?"

"I think about it every day!" Princess Yiyang also hugged her with a smile on her face.

Li Yuechen let go, turned around and gave the two brothers a hug: "Where are the two brothers? Miss me?"

"I want to, how can I not want to?" Li Xian raised his hand and patted his sister's back.

Li Lun also said next to him: "I came here early today and waited, so it can be regarded as my return!"

Princess Xuancheng took Li Yuechen's hands: "Chen'er is completely famous now, Qianniuwei captured the enemy's leader alive without a single soldier, and the students are talking about joining Chen'er's army every day."

"Is it in the newspaper?" Li Yuechen turned his head and asked.

Princess Yiyang smiled and nodded.

At this time, the second brother Li Xian also rode over from behind and chatted with the brothers and sisters.

"Second brother, tell me, how did Yuechen capture Lun Qinling alive?" Li Lun asked excitedly.

Li Xian smiled and said: "It's too complicated, I won't be able to explain it clearly..."

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Go back and talk about it slowly, are parents okay?"

Hearing this sentence, the brothers and sisters were silent for a while, and then Li Xian said: "It's not too good, Grandpa is drowsy every day, most of the time he is in a coma, and he rarely wakes up every day... ..."

Li Yuechen's heart sank: "Why is this so? What did Liu Fengyu say?"

For her question, neither brother nor sister answered, but lowered their heads and sighed.

Li Xian shook his head lightly: "I've tried everything I can, but..."

"I'll go back and have a look!" Li Yuechen said, frowning.
