Li Xun entered the Ming Zheng Palace, and saw Zhao Zhi sitting firmly above at a glance, the latter's face was very calm, as if he didn't care about Li Xun's departure for more than a month, but... Li Xun still saw care and joy in Zhao Zhi's eyes.

It was this faint emotion that could not be seen without careful attention, which suddenly made Li Xun excited, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and sobbed: "The dog kowtowed to the emperor's uncle." ”

"Hurry up, there are no outsiders here, no need to be polite."

When he learned that the battle situation in Jiangnan had changed and Huang Xun was under siege, Zhao Zhi had thought of Li Xun, and also had a trace of concern and concern, although it was not very important, but Zhao Zhi was a supreme emperor, Li Xun could make him care, even if it was just a little bit, but it was already very valuable.

And Zhao Zhi, as the lord of a country, has been in charge of the imperial power for a long time, no matter what happens, most of the time, his face is very calm, and there are few major changes, he must maintain his majesty and composure in front of the ministers, and only in this way can he get enough awe and love from the ministers.

Of course, Zhao Zhi is also a human, not a god, he also has a fragile time, Li Yi once told Li Xun that Zhao Zhi's brother-in-law, the general of Zhenguo, Li Zhong, the king of An, once went deep into Mobei, there was no news for more than a month, life and death are unknown, Zhao Zhi was sad in his heart, and hugged Li Yi and cried for a long time........

Li Xun stood up, Zhao Zhi looked at him carefully, and finally said silently: "It's darkened, and you've become thinner, it seems that you have suffered a lot on this trip to Jiangnan." ”

Li Xun wiped away the tears on his face and said loudly: "Manly man, what is this bit of suffering? ”

Zhao Zhi nodded and said softly: "It's good to be back, your aunt knows that the battle situation in Jiangnan has changed, and she has been worried about you, now that you have returned unharmed, go to visit her and relieve her knots." ”

"Uncle Emperor, let's get down to business first, and I'll be visiting my aunt later."

Zhao Zhiwan smiled and said, "What can you do?" ”

Li Xun hurriedly took out the war document from his arms: "This is the war document written by General Huang Xun himself, which tells in detail the course of a normal war. ”

Zhao Zhi's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand: "Quickly take it." ”

The battle situation in Jiangnan changed several times, and when the news of Huang Zhi's defeat and siege came back to Fengjing, Zhao Zhi was anxious and urgently convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures, and then... The edict ordered the world, ordered the Jiedu envoy near Jiangnan to send troops to help the war, and planned to send another 30,000 forbidden troops to Jiangnan to rescue, but when the army had just gathered and was about to set off, the latest battle report came, Huang Zhen raided Yingzhou successfully, defeated Huang Baichuan, and the battle situation reversed again, until the situation in Jiangnan was finally completely pacified, what happened in it? Zhao Zhi had too many doubts and incomprehensions in his heart, and he wanted to know the details of the entire battle situation.

Li Xun didn't wait for the Mu Gong to come down to get the war documents, but walked directly to the royal platform, held the war documents in both hands, and handed them to Zhao Zhi: "Please take a look at the emperor's uncle." ”

Zhao Zhi didn't care about Li Xun's rudeness, took the war documents, opened the seal, and watched carefully.

After a long time, Zhao Zhi finally finished reading it, put down the war documents in his hand, and sighed: "If there is no yellow word in this battle, Jiangnan will be in danger!" ”

Li Xun hurriedly said good things on the side: "Huang Xun must be the first to charge in every battle, take the lead, and set an example, which is really admirable." ”

Zhao Zhi rubbed his fingers and groaned silently.

Subsequently, Zhao Zhi asked some other things, such as how the army's combat effectiveness was, and how the generals performed.

Li Xun said with a smile: "Zuo Wuwei General Mao Anfu is waiting outside the imperial city, he knows these things better than me, the emperor's uncle should ask him." ”

Zhao Zhi nodded and summoned Mao Anfu to meet him.

Li Xun said goodbye and retired, and then went to see his aunt Li Yi, Li Yi was looking for warmth and warmth, and said jokingly, after Li Xun went to war with the army, Li Mancang had to run several times a day to the military department, asking about the situation of the war in Jiangnan, when he learned that the situation in Jiangnan was unfavorable, Li Mancang did not think about food and drink all day long, worried, a few days ago, Huang Xuan won a big victory, and the news of the pacification of the war in Jiangnan was transmitted back to Fengjing, Li Yi immediately sent someone to pass the news to Li Mancang to know, which made him feel better.

When he returned home, Li Mancang was very happy to see his son return safely, and rushed forward to touch him, asking if he was injured and whether life in the army was difficult.

Zhao Xun was very happy to learn that Li Xun had returned safely, and went to Li Xun's house in person, and the two cousins drank bitterly, Li Xun, who had never been drunk, was drunk for the first time in his life, and was surprised to find that Zhao Xun, who usually looks quite weak, has such a terrible amount of alcohol, and people can't look good, this sentence is really true.

With the end of this military trip, Li Xun's mood relaxed, and a very heavy sense of fatigue also followed, he ate and slept every day, slept and ate, and after three full days, the mental and physical fatigue finally recovered.

Chengping five years, the first day of September.

After Huang Baichuan's troops were greatly damaged, only more than 15,000 people remained, and his eldest son was sent to Fengjing as a hostage, Zhao Zhi finally chose to let him go and let him lead the army back to Caizhou, and he was still the envoy of Caizhou.

At the same time, the edict verbally commended the envoys of Jiedu who sent troops from all sides to help the war, and asked them to lead their troops to return.

On the same day, Huang Xu, who received Zhao Zhi's order, bid farewell to Zhao Bai'an and led the army to return towards Fengjing.

In the morning, Li Xun was eating breakfast at home, and someone came to report that a person named Jiang Xiaowu was looking for you and was waiting outside the door.

Jiang Xiaowu?

Li Xun tilted his head and thought for a long time, and then remembered that that night, he was attacked by a surprise attack, and he once saved a soldier whose leg was cut off, and this soldier was called Jiang Xiaowu.

Li Xun came to the outside of the mansion with a rice bowl, and at a glance, it was indeed the soldier, and beside him, there was a man about twenty years old, who was extremely burly, more than two meters tall, just standing there, with his head down, his expression was wooden, and the whole person looked a little stunned.

"General Li, I've come to see you."

Seeing Li Xun, Jiang Xiaowu threw away the crutches in his hand and kowtowed on the ground repeatedly.

"Don't be like this, hurry up, I don't like people kowtowing to me."

The two-meter-tall man stretched out a hand, like catching a chicken, and pulled Jiang Xiaowu up.

"Jiang Xiaowu, you don't recuperate at home, what are you doing here?"

Li Xun glanced at Jiang Xiaowu twice, and saw that his face was still pale, a broken leg trembled slightly, and his injury was obviously not healed.

Jiang Xiaowu said gratefully: "If there was no General Li to rescue me that day, I, Jiang Xiaowu, am afraid that I would have died on the battlefield long ago, and now I am a crippled person and have no ability to repay, so I am ready to let my second brother go to the general's mansion, serve tea and pour water, and follow to repay the great favor." ”

After that, Jiang Xiaowu picked up his crutches, stood on his own, and said to the big man beside him: "Big Xiong, don't you kowtow to General Li and beg him to take him in." ”

Dahan knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said loudly: "Jiang Daxiong, kowtow to the general, beg the general to take him in." ”
