The reborn woman returns

Chapter 106

"I'm afraid that's not the case, Master Yuan." Hearing this, Ma Yi, Minister of the Ministry of War, sneered on his lips, stroked his goatee, stared at the other party meaningfully, and said, "Mr. Besides, in the emperor's edict, it is not stated that Lord Hou should bring the three armies back to the imperial capital, where does Lord Yuan plan to punish?"

The Minister of the Household Department laughed mockingly, and bowed in the direction of the emperor, "The emperor ordered the Marquis of Ningyuan to return to the court several times, but he did not return with his troops, and his ministers had long since disappeared. Now the emperor ordered him to return the whole army to the imperial capital, but he sent troops and horses back to the imperial capital." Detaining such an abnormal behavior is even more daring! Ning Yuanhou's meritorious deeds are true, and his faults are also true."

"Your Majesty, the situation in the border town is still tense, Lord Hou must have thought about keeping the soldiers and horses in the border town." Ma Wei bowed to Emperor Yongtai. "Please make a clear judgment, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yongtai had long been accustomed to such disputes, and would argue with each other every day about this matter, both in the policy of the country and in the backyard of the palace, without exception.It's just that Wei Xiang and Wei Guogong, who were arguing back then, have changed people now.Minister Wei's body has not been what it used to be in recent years, and today he fell ill and missed the court.And Wei Guogong lost this opponent, and he was even quieter in the court, and he would never speak unless asked.

"The two Qing families don't have to argue here." Emperor Yongtai raised his hand to stop their quarrel, and asked Wei Guogong, who was at the front on the right, "What does the Duke think about this?"

Wei Guogong took two steps towards the center, although his temples were grey, but he was still strong and strong, bent over and cupped his hands, and answered impeccably. "Gouzi resisted the enemy in the border city for three years, and dare not say that he has done an inch of service to the country. However, the emperor has given a clear sentence, and the humble minister must obey the holy order and dare not differ."

"The duke is too modest, it makes me feel ashamed." Emperor Yongtai's eyes flashed with anger, but his face did not show it at all, and there was even a smile on his lips, and he said loudly: "Shaochen has seized Nine Cities this time. If the merit is in the court, how can you say an inch of merit."

Wang Shengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, saw that Shangshu of the Ministry of Households wanted to speak, and immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Ningyuan has not yet returned to the court, and it will not be too late to discuss rewards and punishments after returning to the court." Any result will only upset the emperor.

Huo Hanyan leaned comfortably on the soft cushions of the car wall, listening to Su Yan's detailed description of the outside scenery with a smile on his face, even the baby birds flying by in the sky could point and talk non-stop, moving out of nowhere. The words heard everywhere are legendary, but they are said with gusto.Can't help but tease: "When I left Fengcheng, why didn't I see you so excited?"

"Didn't the Princess once say, look at things from the heart. Now the slaves are in different moods, so naturally they see the scenery differently." Su Yan turned from the side of the curtain and sat next to the Princess, with a very bright smile.

"Heh..." Huo Hanyan couldn't help laughing because of her smile.yes!Leaving the imperial capital at the beginning was a ceremony of marriage and honor. No matter whether I felt the feeling of leaving my hometown or not, the atmosphere was always a little heavy, so I couldn't be so leisurely now.Hearing the noisy voices outside, I couldn't help but ask, "Where is this?"

"Princess, we have just entered Xianzhou." As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, the carriage stopped.Immediately afterwards, Xue Yan bent over from outside the car curtain and came in, staring at Huo Hanyan with deep affection.

Su Yan seemed to be used to this kind of situation, he looked at his princess with aggrieved lips, and after seeing her nodding, he shrugged and stepped out of the carriage.Because of Su Yan's pleasant personality, he became acquainted with the people outside in just a few days, and within a short time he could hear the outside talking about the surrounding scenery, which was very harmonious.

"What's the matter?" Feeling that the carriage was moving forward again, but at a much slower speed, Huo Hanyan stared at the people beside him suspiciously. "But you have something to say to me?" They planned to stay in Xianzhou for one night and leave tomorrow, but now that they have arrived in Xianzhou, there must be something wrong with him coming in suddenly.

Xue Yan's soft gaze sank slightly, and he spoke slowly. "Let's live in the Xianzhou Station today, okay?"

"Well, good." Huo Hanyan nodded lightly after being stunned for a moment. She had no objection to living in another courtyard or post station. The post station was originally a temporary residence prepared by the imperial court for officials to stay. Two days ago, there were Xue Xue in the cities along the way. The other courtyard of the family, so they did not settle down in the post.As far as I can remember, in Xianzhou City, Xue's family also has another courtyard.Now that he allowed him to live in the post station, he obviously had other intentions.

When the carriage finally stopped, Xue Yan took her down from the carriage, and all she could see was the man in Tsing Yi who was following them, standing beside the carriage, holding something like a jar wrapped in black cloth in his arms.This is……?Huo Hanyan's eyes froze suddenly, she looked at Xue Shaochen, and she was only sure when she saw him nodding.

"I don't know that Lord Hou is coming, so I am far away to welcome you. I hope you will forgive me." After hearing the announcement, the postman at the post station immediately trotted out from the inside, his thin body bent over to Xue Yan, his eyes were full of joy . "Your servant has prepared the yard, please come in and rest." Then he ordered the horseman to unload the carriage and lead the horses to feed.

He just heard that Marquis Ning Yuan came here, he was really overjoyed!He has been the postman in Xianzhou for so many years, but he has never seen this now-famous Lord Hou. Even if he heard that Lord Hou came to Xianzhou in the past, he would stay in another courtyard, and he had no chance to see him.

Xue Yan's expression remained unchanged, his thin lips parted slightly. "It's time to work."

"You're welcome!" Yi Cheng was flattered and hurriedly bowed, smiling and leading the way.

Xue Yan led Huo Hanyan into the gate of the inn, and asked solemnly: "This Marquis would like to ask your lord, is there a person named Qin Yi in this inn."

The postman was a little surprised when he heard the words, but he still replied responsibly: "Indeed, Qin Yi used to be a stableman in the station, but..."

"But how?" Xue Yan frowned slightly when he saw the perplexed look on his face.

Yicheng hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Back to Lord Hou, Qin Yi died of illness a year ago."

At night, Huo Hanyan stepped out of the courtyard and stared at Xue Shaochen's slightly stiff back standing in front of the flower bed, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.What I saw in the arms of the man in Tsing Yi in the afternoon was nothing but an altar of ashes of soldiers.This soldier's name is Qin Feng, and he joined the army at the age of 16 at the border town of his father's order to guard the gate of the Qian Kingdom. It has been 20 years since then, and he has never even returned to his hometown during this period.Half a year ago, he attacked the grain and grass of the Rong country, and was shot in the heart by the fierce king Qionghuoyou, and died of his illness.Before he died, he begged Xue Shaochen to bring his ashes back to Xianzhou, which was an explanation to his father.Who knows...

After returning from burying General Qin beside his father today, Xue Shaochen's mood has been a little depressed.
