Chapter 577 The Honest Man Surnamed Wu

Sister Xiao and Sister Zhu beside her were not much better.

Su Ran quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, only to find that Miss Xiao had already wiped her face carelessly with both hands.

"Strange, why am I crying?" She sniffed and muttered softly.

Sister Zhu raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, then raised her head again and stared at the sea of ​​people in front of her without blinking.

Li Er in front had stopped his horse again.

He quietly looked at the familiar people in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "I'm back."

There were only four simple words, but it instantly aroused the shouts of the soldiers.For a moment, there was thunderous cheers, and the sky and the earth shook. Su Ran noticed that the carriage under her was shaking back and forth, as if it was about to be shattered by the continuous roar of the soldiers.

It was not until the wave of cheers gradually passed that Li Er urged his horse into the city again.

Gansu Town is an important border town, and it is also where the Zhenxi Palace has taken root for decades.This can be said to be a large military camp, and the number of soldiers living here is much larger than that of the common people.Passing through the city gate, Su Ran saw many armored soldiers lined up on both sides of the road.Whenever Li Er came to them on horseback, they shouted—"Welcome the prince back to the camp!"

"Welcome the prince back to camp!"

……

The cry passed all the way and sent them to the gate of the palace.

Mr. Yuan took a step first and was already waiting for them at the gate of the palace.The gate of the Wangfu was wrapped in a thick white linen cloth, and when the strong wind blew, the linen cloth fluttered with the wind, showing a cold color in the pale yellow world.

Li Er got off his horse immediately, lifted his clothes and knelt down at the door.

Brother Zhuang also knelt down after he became a brother.

Su Ran also hurried down with her two daughters, and they also knelt down.

"The ancestors of the Xu family are honored, and the unfilial grandson Li Yuanpu has returned today with his wife and children!" Li Er yelled loudly, and then kowtowed three times on the ground.

Su Ran's mother and son kowtowed without mentioning it.

After kowtowing, Mr. Yuan greeted him: "My lord, please come inside! You and the princess have come all the way, you must be very tired. Let's go in and have a rest, and by the way, my subordinates will also attend the funeral of the old lord and others. Let me tell you about it again."

Li Er nodded.He turned his head and handed over to the generals who escorted them all the way: "Thank you for welcoming us today, now everyone, please come into the palace and have a seat!"

The generals couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly agreed to go in.

The layout of the palace in the northwest is completely different from that in the capital.However, the area of ​​the Wangfu is not small. Both the house and the yard inside are large, but the windows on the wall are small.But because the room is empty, people don't feel stuffy inside.

Entering the backyard, Li Er simply washed his face and changed his clothes, then took Brother Zhuang into brothers and went out to entertain the generals who greeted him.Su Ran took sister Xiao and Zhu to rest in the back.

After changing clothes and washing up, there was a knock on the door, and Sister Hua led Sister Zao over.The mother and daughter held a plate in each hand, and there were a few slices of melon and fruit in the plate.

"You are here!" Seeing Sister Hua again, Su Ran quickly smiled and waved to her, "Come here!"

Sister Xiao also jumped up, and happily ran over to hold Sister Zao's hand.

After seeing her mother, Miss Zao's spirits improved a lot, her little face was still flushed, and she clearly got along well with Miss Hua and Mr. Yuan.

Sister Hua also sat down beside Su Ran with a shy smile on her face.

"Sister, there is nothing good in this place. I think you must have drank a lot of wind and eaten a lot of sand along the way. I asked someone to find a few melons, and put them in the well during the day to freeze them. Now It’s cool and delicious, eat some to moisten your throats!”

Su Ran picked up a piece and took a bite. The melon was really cold, crisp and sweet.The sweet juice entered the stomach along the throat, soaking the hoarse throat that was blown dry by the northwest wind along the way, making it extremely comfortable.

Sister Xiao and Sister Zhu had already grabbed a slice and began to gnaw on it.

"Yeah, it's delicious, it's delicious! I ate this melon in the capital, and it was obviously not so delicious at that time!" Sister Xiao muttered softly while eating.

Sister Hua smiled lightly: "That's because the melons are going to be sent to the capital. The melons can only be picked when they are not fully ripe, and then chilled and sent to the capital quickly. First, they are not ripe, and second, they are on the way. This kind of tossing will reduce the taste a lot. But now here, the melons are picked directly from the field after they are ripe, of course they are fresh and delicious."

"Oh, so it is like this!" Sister Xiao nodded quickly, and quickly grabbed another piece and started to eat.

Su Ran ate a piece slowly, and she looked at Sister Hua with a smile again: "It seems that you have done a lot of things these days!"

"Yes!" Sister Hua nodded, "It's fortunate that my husband is familiar with this place, and there are old people around to help, otherwise we would not be able to adapt to the environment so quickly."

As she spoke, she slowly stroked her lower abdomen with her hands, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there was a hint of happiness in the corners of her eyes and brows.

It seems that she and Mr. Yuan have been getting along well.That being the case, Su Ran didn't ask any more questions.

After eating the melon, sister Xiao and sister Zhu were already yawning from exhaustion.Su Ran told them to go to sleep later, sister Xiao and sister Zao have always been inseparable, this time they separated for a day, she was very anxious.It was so easy to see Ms. Zao again, she held on to Ms. Zao tightly and wouldn't let her go, even going to bed with Ms. Zao.

Sister Zao was not good at rejecting her, so she obediently followed her.

The children were not around, so Sister Hua started talking to Su Ran about something serious.

"The bones of the old prince and others have been received, the tomb has been found, and the coffin has been prepared. My husband has checked it. The [-]th of this month is a good day for burial, and the news has been released."

"Sixteen?" Su Ran was slightly startled, "Today is already the tenth day!"

"I know! But my husband said that the past has passed, and it is the emperor's grace to collect and bury the old prince's bones again, but we can't spend too much time on it. After all, they are in the past Now, we just need to fulfill our duty as juniors and bury them in a grand manner. The top priority is for the prince to take control of military affairs as soon as possible so that everyone will submit to him." Sister Hua said in a low voice.

Su Ran frowned slightly. "Is there a big problem here?"

"It's not too big, but there are still some people with ulterior motives. But with the abilities of you and your brother-in-law, you will definitely be able to subdue them all!" Sister Hua shook her head lightly.

Su Ran was amused and laughed. "Okay, what exactly is the situation, please tell me well, so that I won't be unprepared when the time comes."

She had already fought an unprepared battle in the yamen of Ganzhou Wei Zhifu today, and that feeling was really bad.Now that she was here, she didn't want to relive such an experience.

Sister Hua nodded quickly. "The thing is like this. When the Zhenxi Palace was destroyed, didn't the first emperor send people from the Kong family to take charge of the army? But most of the Kong family can only read military books, but they don't understand the environment in the northwest at all, but they are still self-righteous. After that, he gave instructions blindly, and almost ruined the well-organized layout here."

"But, the old King Zhenxi and the others are gone, and most of the people who followed them were killed, those who were driven away, and those who were demoted. The Kong family dominates here, and they What they say is what they say. The town was once full of smog. They were still complacent and thought they had managed the place well. But before they were satisfied, Xi Rong led troops to invade and beat them to the ground. Master Kong was killed. Two, the others cried and hid, and refused to go out again. At this time, a subordinate named Wu Fulai who followed the old prince stepped forward in time and led the soldiers to fight. Repelled the enemy army and guarded my defense line to the northwest. He also became famous in the first battle, but he did not greedy for merit. Instead, he gave all the credit to Zhenxi General Kong Yu. Kong Hao was very happy and praised him for being honest people, and regard him as his right-hand man."

Surnamed Wu?
Su Ran raised her eyebrows. "What is the relationship between Ganzhou Wei Zhifu Wu Hai and him?"
