Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Shaking her head, Du Ruyan reached out helplessly to take off his dirty clothes so that she could wash them or just throw them away.

Li Kuan had just returned from the battlefield and was still nervous. He said suspiciously:
"You... Yan'er, what do you want to do?"

My wife...

Do you want to use force?

Li Kuan seemed to be thinking about something.

"Hey, Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing his thoughtful look, Du Ruyan couldn't help but blush.

"Bah, that can't be!"

Du Ruyan thought so in her heart.

"Hahaha!".
Li Kuan smiled, stretched his back, and said lazily: "I am so tired from this trip. I am so tired from running around..."

He ran out of Yanyun City and then strolled around the Western Regions. He ran at least thousands of miles, riding on horseback. His old bones were almost broken by the shaking.

His face was still full of fatigue!
"You're...I'm sorry!"

Du Ruyan's heart softened as well, as if she had made a decision, but she was hesitant and mumbling, and no one knew what she was saying:
"Actually, Your Highness, you can do whatever you want..."

Although they are husband and wife, they have been traveling around a lot recently. This is quite strange. She feels that it is all her fault and that she was too harsh on him in the past.

Now I am thinking about making up for it!
"What did you say?"

Unfortunately, the sound was too soft and Li Kuan couldn't hear it clearly, so he moved his ear closer.

“No…nothing!
Du Ruyan looked flustered, gritted her teeth, secretly annoyed, and resisted the urge to slap him.

Who told you not to hear clearly?

Regardless of!

Anyway…

It's the man's fault anyway. Do you really want to argue with a woman?

Stuttering, it's really strange...
Li Kuan muttered a few words, a depressed look appeared on his face, and scratched his head, completely unaware that he had been to the gates of hell.

Over the years, Du Ruyan has become more and more courageous after getting married. If provoked, her outbursts can be very terrifying.

A true Iron Lady!

"Your Highness, it's alright."

Du Ruyan glared at him, too lazy to talk any more, and directly took off the clothes on his upper body that had long been stained with blood.

His body was covered in blood, which was stuck together in large clumps, looking quite scary.

Li Kuan was suddenly thrown into disarray by the wind!

Where is the gentleness you promised?

Fortunately, there is a floor heating in the house, so it is warm and there is no need to worry about catching a cold.

"Your Highness, this blood..."

Seeing that the blood on his body had already formed into scabs, her eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

This must have happened after more than ten bloody battles!
"It's all other blood, it's no big deal! Can those idiots really hurt me?" Li Kuan smiled and comforted.

Du Ruyan didn't say anything else, but just rubbed it gently with her hands, her face full of heartache.

After a moment of silence, he laughed, "Aren't you going out yet? I'll take a shower first, we still have to go to the Governor's Mansion later."

It was with great difficulty that we finally got these people back and won a great victory.

Of course, Xin Qiji also had to hold a banquet to celebrate.

"Oh, Your Highness, okay! Then...then hurry up! I'll wait for you outside." She walked out quickly, her steps hurried.

Seeing Du Ruyan's cold back as she left, Li Kuan felt warm in his heart.

Fourteen days left.…

Then he could legitimately marry her again when his father-in-law Du Ruhui was around!
He wanted to give her an extremely grand wedding, even more grand than the previous ones, attracting the attention of the whole world!

This is what a woman deserves!

"Ga Ba~"

The door was closed, and Li Kuan took off his dirty clothes without delay.

Throw it on the other side, and then do a kite flip.…

With a "plop", he jumped straight into a big wooden barrel!
Soaking in the hot water, with the steam rising continuously, he felt as if all the pores on his body were opening up, and he felt so comfortable!
This is the life that people should live!

Li Kuan hummed a strange tune as he rubbed it.

have to say!

This trip into the Western Regions is really a tough job!

He hadn't taken a shower for a long time. His hands were covered in mud after a casual rub. Even he himself twitched his mouth and felt disgusted.

In fact, in the north, especially when the weather is cold, it is normal not to take a bath for ten days or half a month, and there is no need to make a fuss about it.

Don’t think about it, it’s so cold, you won’t sweat much, and there’s no heating in these days, taking a shower might be life-threatening!

Are you really going to joke with your own life?

As for going to the Western Regions, the conditions there are even worse. Water is the most scarce. Can you even use it to take a bath?
While soaking in the hot water, Li Kuan felt much happier. He even shouted to the outside:

"Yan'er, do you want to rub my back?"

He looks very arrogant!
It's unreasonable and arrogant!

"Your Highness, Yan'er is not coming!"

Du Ruyan's answer was also concise and to the point.

"Hahaha, so stingy!"

Li Kuan was thick-skinned and didn't care at all. He even smiled shamelessly.

Back scrubbing is the most annoying thing, and you can’t reach it with your hands. He was thinking about waiting a few days and then making a back scrubbing device to save himself the trouble.

You might even make a fortune!
It didn't take long. After just a quick rinse, the water in the big wooden barrel became extremely turbid, and his face turned black when he looked at it.

"This is unbelievable! This is going to become a spirit!"

He quickly climbed into another clean large wooden barrel and continued washing, while chatting with Du Ruyan outside the door.

"Yan'er, what did you say just now? Anything is fine? What do you mean?"

"Did I say that? No!"

"Yes, definitely! It seems to be..."

It took him about half an incense stick of time to use up all three large wooden barrels of water before he put on clean clothes and walked out.

"Let's go! I'm hungry. I've been eating dry food these days and my mouth is almost dry..."

Li Kuan also did not forget to complain.

He was thinking about whether he should make some military canned food, instant noodles, etc. The Grand Governor's Mansion was not far away, just a few steps away.

Xin Qiji, Li Xiaogong and others were present.

There wasn't anything fancy about this banquet, it was just a simple meal of food and drinks, and everyone went their separate ways.

Li Kuan also went back and had a comfortable sleep.
As the wedding date was approaching, Li Kuan had no intention of staying in Yanmen Pass. He had to rush back to Chang'an to make proper preparations.

Although time is a bit tight, it is still enough!
There are so many people around, so there is no need for him to worry about anything. He just needs to decide on the plans or make some supplements.

After all, to be unique, you also need to add some of your own ideas!

The imperial court had already announced it to the world, but now the entire Dayan still doesn’t know about Li Kuan’s marriage?
There are rumors: Among the surrounding countries, many rulers have sent envoys here, and also prepared a generous gift...
Just based on this scene, this wedding can be said to be unprecedented!
Li Xiaogong, Xin Qiji, Qi Jiguang and others had to stay in Yanmen Pass for a few days. After all, there were still several waves of envoys from the Western Regions countries on the way.

There just happened to be an army of more than 50,000 soldiers blocking the way here, so shouldn't we welcome them well and let these barbarians see the might of Dayan?

However, the group will rush back before the tenth day of April. After all, it is Li Kuan's wedding, so how can they be absent?
Chen Qianzhi also extended a warm invitation and held a grand banquet for everyone to enjoy a good meal.

At about 3 p.m., Li Kuan, leading two groups of people, also set out on the journey back to Yanyun City!
It was still early March when we left, and in the blink of an eye it is already the end of the month. During this nearly one month, many people are eager to return home.

Although this period of time was not too long, I experienced a lot, especially when I saw the spring flowers blooming and all things reviving, I felt as if I was in another world.

Not to mention people like Guan Shurong and Gu Cheng!

Looking at those strange yet extremely familiar scenes, each pair of old eyes was filled with complex expressions!

The weather is still a little chilly, but from time to time there is a spring breeze blowing, bringing bursts of warmth, as if welcoming...

This group of people returning home!
When they were about fifty miles away from Chang'an, Chen Qianzhi led a hundred or so cavalrymen and hurried over.

"Your Majesty, great! It's amazing. You slaughtered more than ten royal cities in a row and pacified the Western Region in one battle. We can finally have some time to catch our breath."

Chen Qingzhi laughed.

"But Your Majesty, please forgive me for being too rash! Rongrong has been worried and can't sleep well these days! You have to be careful when you go back..."

Chen Qingzhi warned.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Kuan went to the Junggar Basin and made a big fuss, achieving extremely brilliant results, which can be said to be a great victory!

But in Chen Qingzhi's eyes...
This is just causing trouble!

Wouldn't it cause chaos?
"Hahaha, I'll say you taught me that!"

Li Kuan is a bachelor.

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi felt better. After all, even if Guo Shoujing got angry, it would not be his fault.

Yue Fei's mouth twitched, he gritted his teeth and whispered:
"Your Majesty, this is impossible. It is better to say that it was instigated by Xin Qiji and his gang! I...I will testify for you!"

"That's it!"

With these people taking the blame and Yue Fei giving false testimony, Li Kuan was of course happy to get himself out of it.

"Your Highness, this is true!"

Du Ruyan curled her lips and muttered softly to herself, expressing her dissatisfaction with the two people's behavior.

Very disdainful.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chen Qingzhi and Yue Fei turned their attention to the twenty or so white-haired soldiers.

They actually came to pick up this Wuzu Guard!

The dead are gone!
They are all fighting for the sake of national justice, so Li Kuan will not treat them unfairly.

Now in Yanyun City, there is also a big surprise prepared!
Guan Shurong was the commander-in-chief and a former fourth-rank military general. He had heard of these two people.

And don't forget that Han Qinhu has close ties with the Wuzu Guard, and some people have to call him uncle.

To be precise, there is a connection between the Wuzu Guard and certain people!
"Just come back!"

After a long time, Chen Qingzhi sighed.

At this moment, no matter how many words there are, they seem so pale and powerless. No single sentence can carry the weight of the past thirty-six years.

Yue Fei also fell silent.

Li Kuan's eyes were also filled with complex expressions.
These guys are undoubtedly worthy of everyone's respect!
It is precisely because of these people that the Han Dynasty has been glorious for thousands of years, even if it was invaded by the enemy and the land was lost...
There will also be figures who stand up one after another and create a peaceful and prosperous era again!
That indomitable spirit has long been imprinted in the blood and has built the backbone of the nation!
A few people started chatting and talked about the past of the Sui Dynasty.

After understanding the decline of the Sui Dynasty and how Yang Geng was strangled to death by Yu Wenzhi, these twenty or so people were filled with sorrow.

"Damn it! I said it at the beginning! This Yu Wenzhi is a treacherous prime minister!"

Time is also destiny!

The father and son of the Yang family are not good people! They deserve it!

Everyone was cursing.

After a while, Guan Shurong said, "General Chen, I want to ask, are there any descendants of the Han family?"

When Han Qinhu was alive, the Han family was at its peak of power. It was a pity that it was later suppressed by Yang Jian.

Guan Shurong, Leng Chong, Li Yuanzhong and others almost became Han family's retainers at that time!
"Han family? Didn't His Majesty tell you about this?"

Chen Qingzhi looked suspicious.

"What?" Li Kuan was also a little confused.

Guan Shurong, Gu Cheng and others also looked at each other.

Is it possible?…

What else is there to do here?
"The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members no longer recognize each other!" Chen Qianzhi laughed.

"The Han family is dying..."

Chen Qingzhi quickly told the whole story.

"You...you are Ziyi's granddaughter?"

Suddenly, he looked at Han Ruxue, Guan Shurong and others behind Chen Qingzhi, who all looked shocked.

No one expected that the two sides actually had such a connection. All we can say is that this world is really too small!
"yes….."

Han Ruxue didn't understand and nodded.

How could she know so much about the affairs of the older generation?
"We can talk later, let's go."

Li Kuan spoke.

There were many shadowy figures standing on the official road.

Everybody is looking forward to it, because this is to welcome back home the soldiers who have been fighting away from home for nearly forty years!

The suffering of guarding the border is far less than the suffering of being trapped in a foreign land and guarding the last Han flag.
They are all well-deserved heroes!
There was also a large group of people wearing mourning clothes. They were all related to the soldiers of the Wuzu Guard and were blood relatives within three generations.

There were fifty or sixty old men and women, all with their heads hung, silently shedding tears, and remaining silent.

It’s been so many years since we last met!
Even the dynasties have changed. Some people are getting old, and many are bedridden.

Some have even turned into dry bones in a grave.
The only thing we can do is to bring our fallen relatives back to the ancestral tomb and bury them properly.

Guo Shoujing led a group of civil and military ministers and stood in the front!
