Chapter 780 Eighth Return to Beijing

Xue Jian sighed and said:
"Okay, then come with me, and don't come back here again."

Xue Jian was injured before and after this time, which made the adults who followed Xue Jian to the Ministry of Rites of Hu State very angry, and directly sent someone back to the Dynasty to tell the whole story. I am very angry, and I should give Dongfang Dynasty an explanation!
The king also knew that it was his own fault this time, but he also used this incident to get rid of his serious troubles.As soon as the king was happy, he immediately retreated ten miles from the border connecting the Eastern Dynasty, and those ten miles would be regarded as an apology to the Eastern Dynasty.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites also agreed to this matter under the instruction of Xue Jian.Afterwards, Xuejian arranged for some of the skilled craftsmen who brought them to Batuo, and ensured that these people would return to the Eastern Dynasty safely.Then Xue Jian proposed to leave the Hu country.

But both Fu Jinghao and old man Mo wanted to go there to see the final result of the war, so Xue Jian was asked to go back to the Eastern Dynasty first.

Hu country is indeed colder than Dongfang Dynasty, and once he came back, he was reducing his clothes along the way.And because of the sand control, Xuejian specially asked the motorcade to turn around to see the place where the Dongfang Dynasty and the Hu Kingdom were handed over, and it was okay.There happened to be a small mountain range over there, and the mountain was also densely forested.It seems that there is no need to plant too many trees.As long as Hu Guo is cured.I will benefit from it here.

Back in the capital, it will be spring.Going out this time not only celebrated my birthday, but also experienced life and death.Everyone in the court knew that Xue Jian had been injured during this trip, but they didn't know that Xue Jian had lost all of her internal strength.

When the princess came out of the city to welcome Xuejian, when she saw Xuejian's little rosy face no longer, tears flowed down her cheeks.He hugged Xue Jian and said:

"Look at you. It's almost impossible to come back. You don't know how sad we were when we got the news. Princess Yu came out of the palace again yesterday to ask me if I have any news about you. I don't know how your situation is."

Xuejian patted the princess's sister-in-law and said:
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine now. Look, I'm back!"

Naturally, the court also sent people to welcome Xuejian and his party.

Going here, in addition to the land compensated by Hu Guo because of Xue Jian's injury, Xue Jian also brought back the best cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland.Especially horses, which Xuejian valued very much.There is a group of horses that Xuejian specially asked people to select, and they are all first-class horses.As for these horses, Xue Jian had someone carefully raise them, preparing them to take root and give birth to cubs here.

Of course, Private Xuejian also received a lot of good things, all of which were rare, because all the shepherds wanted to ask this god-like prince to give advice on some things in their territories.They all borrowed the excuse of visiting Xuejian's injury, and they all came to Xuejian to get some things they wanted.

Shi Chun was a little annoyed that they came to disturb Xue Jian's rest, nagging:

"These people, when we first came here, all of them looked down on the master as a little girl, but now they all send up all the treasures in the family, so that the master can give him an idea."

Xue Jian said with a smile:

"They have seen that we have achieved certain results in sand control. If it weren't for this, no one would pay attention to us."

Shi Chun was not at all ambiguous about accepting these treasures because he wasted his master's mind.So, when Xuejian went to the palace to return to the palace accompanied by the officials and Eunuch Gu, Shi Chun was counting these things in the Prince's Mansion.

After thinking about it, Shi Chun didn't put it in the warehouse. If the master is going back to Qingyang soon, Shi Chun is going to take all these things away.

Xue Jian and his party arrived in the palace, this time there were quite a few ministers in the palace, the emperor did not meet Xue Jian in the Imperial Study Room, but in the main hall.Xue Jian came into the palace.Go straight to the middle and bow to the emperor:

"Go back to the emperor, Xuejian is back."

The emperor said with a smile:

"It's great that you're back! Prince Rui, I heard that you're seriously injured, and we're all worried!"

Xuejian clasped her fists and bowed to the emperor and the surrounding ministers:

"Thank you for your concern, but I almost couldn't come back. The main reason was that when we went to check the sandy land, we were attacked by rebels from Hu State. As a result, I was seriously injured, and I was so tired that Master ran on both sides. I got my life back."

Liang Shengyue was also standing in the hall, looking up and down at Xue Jian, and he could see all the worry in his eyes.

Wei Shangshu said:

"Young Shichen also went to the Hu country. There is indeed a large area of ​​sand in the northwest of the Hu country. But I don't know what Prince Rui is doing so far away?"

Xue Jian laughed and said:

"It's also fortunate that I went there. Your Majesty, my lords. Please take a look."

As she said that, Xuejian took out a large picture made of cloth, motioned for the little father-in-law standing aside to help, and pulled the picture away.It was a simple map of Hu State drawn on cloth.

Xuejian pointed to each place with one finger and introduced each place:

"Here is our border town. This is the territory of our dynasty. After passing this place, we arrive at Hu State. The point is not Hu State's Linda City. Everyone, look at this side. This is the sandy land."

Xuejian took a special look at Mr. Wei and said:

"Sir, Mr. Wei has been to Hu State and knows that there is a sacred mountain in Hu State, right?"

Master Wei nodded and said:

"I've been there before. The Shenshan Mountain is the only high mountain in the Hu Kingdom."

Xuejian said again:

"But I don't know if the sandy land is connected to the sacred mountain when Mr. Wei went there?"

"Hahaha, Prince Rui was joking. I wasn't the only one who went to this palace. Mr. Zeng and Mr. Li also went. Back then, we went to the foot of Shenshan Mountain once."

Xue Jian nodded and said:
"Yeah, have you gone to see Sha Di?"

Lord Wei smiled proudly and said:

"Back then, when we went, I was with the eldest son of the Lager family. We went to hunt foxes in the sandy land together."

Xue Jian said with a smile:

"That's it. It's been decades since my lord went there. My lord doesn't know the changes there. Now, the person who hunted with you has become a herdsman. When I saw him this time, he also Speaking of you. However, the place where you shot arrows and raced horses back then is full of sand. It is completely uninhabited. You can’t see a blade of grass. Now the sand has invaded the foot of the holy mountain.”

Lord Wei and the two adults he mentioned looked at each other for a few moments, and then said:

"impossible!"

Xuejian pointed to the picture again and said:
"Look, everyone, here is the holy mountain, this side is the grassland, and this side is full of sand now. As Mr. Wei said just now, this is the place where Mr. Wei went or could graze, but these days In the past ten years, not a single blade of grass has grown here. It is all sandy land, and the locals call it the Sand Demon, saying that these places have been occupied by the Sand Demon!"

"Impossible! It's only been a few decades?"

Master Wei obviously still didn't believe it, Xue Jian pointed to a place and said:

"I was injured here. It is said that this is where the king's tent of a tribe was located. There is an investigation point piled up with stones next to it."

"I know this! I've also seen it on there."

Xue Jian nodded and said:

"Yes, Lager Shepherd also said later that you once roasted whole sheep here. But now there is really nothing here, not only the ground has been deserted, but also the inspection point on the stone pile has also collapsed. , killed two of the three people who injured me there."
