"Second brother, is there still no news about the spices and seeds I want?"

Jin Yan spoke slowly and lazily, but Xiao Quji was not impatient at all, and he himself was very calm and calm.

He shook his head, "We haven't found it yet, but yesterday I heard from an uncle who was in charge of this matter that a Yuezhi people who had returned had seen the spice you mentioned, and they had arranged for that Yuezhi person to be their guide. Someone has been sent to look for it.”

After that, he touched Jin Yan's soft face with distress, "I know you are worried about the food problem, but the second brother promises you that no one will starve to death in the North this year. You As a little person, don’t worry about these things.”

Jin Yan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him, looking up and down. Xiao Quji immediately understood what her look meant. He was angry and funny at the same time, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a little kid like you."

"It's not that big."

Jin Yan said this.

If the person who said this was Xiao Jinan, the naughty king, then Xiao Quji would get up and give him a few slaps on the butt even if he was lying on the hospital bed.

But it happened that Jin Yan said these words. He couldn't hit or scold him, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.

Soon, amid the cheers of the people, their carriage arrived at the city gate.

The guarding soldiers stepped forward and guided the onlookers to give way and stand on both sides. After Princess Jinyang and others got off the car and walked out of the city gate, the crowd gathered together again.

Xiao Quji was still telling Jin Yan, "My father will be here soon. If he still wants to hold you and ride a horse, don't agree."

The last time my father came back from Chang'an, the two little ones secretly ran out to greet him, and they were taken for a ride by their father. After returning home, their sister fell ill.

Jin Yan nodded his head, indicating that he would be obedient.

At this moment, the ground began to shake, and the waiting crowd became excited.

"The general is back!"

"The Crown Prince is back!"

Xiao Jinan was already extremely happy. He broke free from Princess Jinyang's hands and ran away happily thinking about it.

At this moment, both Xiao Buyi, the eldest son and grandson of the family, and Xiao Quji, a mature and steady man, could not hold back the admiration and excitement in their hearts. One stood on tiptoes and looked excitedly into the distance, while the other wanted to get out of the wheelchair. He stood up and wanted to catch his first glimpse of his great hero father.

In this cheerful and warm atmosphere, even Jin Yan, who was used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, was deeply touched.

She just moved a little, and Xiao Quji noticed it, and then pulled her back into his arms.

When Jin Yan complained dissatisfiedly, rows of neatly arranged military flags appeared, solemn, mighty, and invincible.

The flags were flying, the horses neighed, the soldiers came back bloody, and the people greeted them with pots of food and drink.

This scene, in the eyes of the court envoy, became a dazzling scenery.

However, at this moment, even though they knew that many people in the court did not want to see such a scene of military and civilian intimacy, no one paid special attention to the messenger's mood.

They just want to use the loudest voices and the prettiest smiles to greet the soldiers who fight to the death against the Huns' wolves to protect them and maintain peace on the border.

Xiao Ji is eight feet long, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. His body is very majestic and he is a very conspicuous existence.

Now he is riding on a horse, wearing a black armor tailor-made for him, with a sword on his waist and a riding crop in his hand. His casual movements make people unable to take their eyes away.

From a distance, he saw the red-faced little baby running in the middle of the road. Xiao Ji whipped his horse whip and hurried up.

He reached out with his long arm, and the crowd exclaimed. In the blink of an eye, the little baby had fallen into Xiao Ji's arms and sat in front of him.

"You brat, did you make your mother angry?"

Xiao Ji lowered his head and kissed the round little head in front of him. The child shook his head and played with the reins with great interest, but he did not forget to prove his innocence, "Father, I didn't mess with my mother. Angry, my sister can testify!" As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ji burst into laughter.

The soldiers and soldiers on his left, right and behind him also laughed.

Although the third young master has told many lies, the young master’s words must be true.

Even if it’s false, it’s still true!

Amidst the harmonious noises, Xiao Ji led the people to the city gate. He first looked at Princess Jinyang and found that her eyes were slightly red. Knowing that his assassination in the previous battle report had worried her, he immediately Dismounted and walked towards Princess Jinyang.

"The princess is worried. I brought her a gift."

Xiao Ji held Princess Jinyang's hand.

Princess Jinyang shook her head slightly, "The best gift is for the general to return safely."

Xiao Ji stared at the reddish lips of Princess Jinyang, and the thoughts in his heart were ready to move, but he was surrounded by soldiers who had returned from the bloody battle and the people who greeted them. If he kissed the princess at this moment, those so-called learned people would have to go to the memorial to interfere with him. We have been fighting with the Xiongnu for so long that we have even forgotten our etiquette, justice and honor.

He wasn't afraid of those people, he just didn't want to listen to those people talking endlessly.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Ji noticed the sight next to him. When he turned his head, he saw his little daughter sitting in the arms of his second brother, tilting her head to look at him.

Jin Yan: “Father~~”

A big smile immediately appeared on Xiao Ji's face.

The general, who had just returned from the battlefield, and the bloody smell on his body had not yet completely dissipated, had a loving and gentle look in his eyes, and stretched out his hand towards his daughter.

"Why did you bring my precious daughter out in such a cold weather?"

He lowered his head slightly and wanted to touch his daughter, but he gave up the action after hearing that he was still wearing armor.

As a result, something soft and warm suddenly stuck to my face.

Xiao Ji was stunned, looking at the pink face so close, he couldn't help but prick it deliberately with his beard, "Miss your father? You are indeed my father's darling~"

When Jin Yan wanted to run away in disgust, Xiao Ji stopped teasing her.

He hugged Jin Yan tightly and looked at his eldest son again, with relief in his eyes, "No doubt, you did a good job this time."

During the six months of his expedition, the eldest son had been in charge of Beidi, assisted by ministers such as the Prime Minister. Originally, he just wanted to train this boy, but unexpectedly, this boy did very well, and even the court rewarded him.

Even though Xiao Buyi was more mature than his younger brothers and sisters, he was still just a child in front of his father. He was very moved when his father, whom he had always admired, praised and affirmed him so much.

Xiao Ji looked at his son in the wheelchair again, as if scolding him, "You are disobedient and your body is not well yet. What are you doing out here?"

His tone was a little fierce, but everyone knew that he felt sorry for his son.

Xiao Quji: "My son is fine, I want to congratulate my father for defeating the Huns and promoting the prestige of our Xia Kingdom!"

Xiao Ji laughed happily.

Soon there were sounds of congratulations all around.

Amid the commotion, there were even shouts of long live.

When the court envoy saw this, a cold dark light flashed in his eyes.

The problems in the Northland and the Northland Palace seem to be far more serious than the court feared!
