The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 778
As the critical moment approached, not only Xuan Shijing was nervous, but even Li Ke didn't intend to relax at all. The Xuanjia Army stopped, but at this time the three hundred soldiers were still riding horses and galloping across the land of Guanzhong.

Just after dawn, Xuan Shijing and Cheng Chumo had already returned to the camp in Dongshan County first. Cheng Chumo went into the camp and went back to his tent and fell asleep, while Xuan Shijing rode a horse to Zhuangzi to inform Zhuangzi Go to those women and prepare food for the soldiers who are about to return.

Others can rest, but Xuan Shijing can't, because Xuan Shijing plans to set the match between Fubing and Xuanjia Army tomorrow, and he needs to go to see the venue in advance, and also go to the palace to meet His Majesty Li Er.

Turning back to the camp from Zhuangzi, Xuan Shijing went to Cheng Chumo's tent, but what he saw was Cheng Chumo who was sleeping unconscious, accompanied by loud shouts.

Judging by the appearance, it is estimated that they cannot be woken up, so it is better to stay in the camp and wait for them to come back.

At this time, people have started to return to the camp one after another, and everyone is exhausted, and Chang Le has also returned. When they were on their way, Chang Le followed them on horseback. When they arrived at the camp, they counted The matter of the number of people is naturally handled by Chang Le.

After counting the number of people, Xuan Shijing gave an order to let these government soldiers start eating, and after eating, they all went back to their respective tents to rest, while Xuan Shijing left Dongshan County on horseback.

It has also been more than ten days since he returned to Chang'an City. In the camp, the government soldiers were not allowed to go home, and he, the leader of the Marquis, had to set an example, so counting, there were also more than ten days. I have seen Mrs. Wang.

But this time when I went back to Chang'an, I was able to take a break from my busy schedule and go back to Dongshan Hou's Mansion to take a look. Anyway, I needed to change clothes when entering the palace, so Xuan Shijing rode his horse and raised his whip, and went straight to Dongshan Hou's Mansion after entering Chang'an City.

In the early morning of Dongshan Hou's Mansion, the gates were opened and the people in the house began to clean up. The servants of the Hou's Mansion carried buckets and carefully cleaned the ground at the entrance of the Hou's Mansion to remove the accumulated dirt from the previous day. Dust can be considered auspicious, removing old "bad luck".

The servant who was cleaning in front of the door inadvertently looked into the distance, and saw Xuan Shijing riding a horse to this side, dropped the things in his hands, and ran into the gate of the Hou Mansion.

"Master Hou is back! Master Hou is back!"

The news was quickly spread to the backyard, and at this time, Mrs. Wang just got up.

"Xiao Huan, what's the noise outside?" Wang asked.

"This, the maidservant didn't hear it very clearly, Madam, wait a moment, the maidservant goes out to have a look."

"Well, let's go." Mrs. Wang nodded.

Xiao Huan turned around and left the room, walked into the yard, just in time to see the servants running into the yard in a hurry, running so fast that they almost bumped into Xiao Huan.

"Why are you so reckless? Madame asked me to come out and ask, what's going on outside, why is it so noisy in the early morning." Xiao Huan asked the man, holding her back.

"Sister Xiaohuan, it's Master Hou who came back from Zhuangzi in Dongshan County." The man looked up and saw that the person who was hugging him was Xiaohuan who was beside his wife, and quickly told the news.

"Master Hou is back from Dongshan County? Back home?" Xiao Huan confirmed to the boy.

"Yeah, I guess I've already entered the gate by now."

Xiao Huan nodded: "Okay, I see, I'll report to Madam right now, it's still early, Master Hou must have not eaten at the camp in Dongshan County, you should hurry up and get ready, get some hot water for Master Hou to wash up , and prepare some food to send over.”

"Yes."

After giving orders, Xiao Huan returned to Mrs. Wang's room.

"Ma'am, Lord Hou is back from Zhuangzi in Dongshan County." Xiao Huan told Wang what she heard.

"Jing'er is back? Didn't he not be in Dongshan County for the past two days? Why did this suddenly appear again." Wang smiled: "This child, his mind is really unpredictable."

"About the fact that Lord Hou's training of those soldiers outside has come to an end. Now everyone is saying that the day after tomorrow will be the swearing-in meeting. Those soldiers in Dongshan County have yet to compete with the Xuanjia Army. This time Hou I'm afraid there are some reasons for my master's return to Chang'an." Xiao Huan guessed.

Mrs. Wang nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, by the way, let's pack up quickly and go to see Jing'er. Come back this time, go out again, maybe when we will come back."

After the competition between the Xuanjia Army and the Fubing, the swearing-in meeting will be held immediately. After the swearing-in meeting, the army will go straight to the battlefield, which means that Xuan Shijing will take the three hundred soldiers from Zhuangzi to the battlefield. The one who survived was strong enough to know the danger of the battlefield, but now that Xuan Shijing is going to go to the battlefield, she has no reason to stop it. This big family, with such a heavy burden on Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing can't To fight hard, the decline of the Xuan family is also inevitable.

Xuan Shijing dismounted at the gate of the Hou's Mansion, handed Master Ma over to the porter, entered the Hou's Mansion by herself, and ran straight to the hall.

Going home at this time, you can still have a hot meal.

Sure enough, breakfast was already placed on the table in the hall, but Xiao Huan ordered the people below to prepare it specially for Xuan Shijing.

"Master Hou, wait in the hall for a while and have breakfast first, Madam said she will come over in a while." The maid who was waiting in the hall saw Xuan Shijing come in, and said blessedly.

Xuan Shijing waved his hand and replied: "Understood, that's right, go and help me prepare the official uniform, I will enter the palace in a while."

"Yes." The servant girl responded, and then left the hall to prepare clothes for Xuan Shijing.

The master of the Hou Mansion did not have the habit of letting servants serve him when eating. Sitting at the dining table, doing it himself, having enough food and clothing, was far more comfortable than being served by others.

Xuan Shijing came back in such a hurry, he didn't have to wait for Wang Shi in the hall until he had dinner, he finished eating quickly, and after meeting Wang Shi, he had to change clothes and enter the palace.

Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Wang came to the hall accompanied by Xiao Huan. Before entering the door, she saw Xuan Shijing who was wolfing down at the dining table.

I haven't seen each other for more than ten days, and I have suffered a lot in the camp in Dongshan County. Xuan Shijing has also lost a lot of weight. Seeing it, Wang felt distressed, and went to sit next to Xuan Shijing.

"Eat slowly, no one will grab you."

"Mother, you are here." Xuan Shijing raised his head and showed a big smile to Wang.

"It's hard for you to return home. Of course, mother has to come and see you. You have suffered a lot in Dongshan County these days. It's all gone."

"Although I'm a little tired, my baby feels much more relaxed now than before." Xuan Shijing swallowed the food in his mouth and responded.
