Three days later.

A caravan was ready to go, although it was freezing and the road was difficult, but there were woolen clothes and pants to keep warm, plus the boots were also put in cashmere, the problem was not big, and the people who drove the car were all waist gourds, which were filled with spirits, and their faces were full of smiles, and they didn't care about the cold wind.

I couldn't come back for the New Year this time, but I gave three times the silver, and I rushed to sign up.

Qin Huaidao came over to see him off, said a few words of encouragement, and saw Fang Yiai and Cheng Chumo coming over in a hurry, greeted them, signaled to the side and asked in a low voice: "Why did you come, but something happened?" ”

"Tubo sent an envoy into Chang'an, the city gate was under martial law for a period of time, delayed, I heard that the envoy sent a letter of state, a batch of jewelry, hoping to respect the Tang Dynasty as the kingdom, the brothers are commensurate, and for the prince of Tubo to ask for the princess, Chang'an City is afraid to be lively again." Cheng Chumo explained in a low voice.

"Let them make trouble, it has nothing to do with us, what about the craftsman you are looking for?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

"I found more than 100 people, all of them are masters, they have been secretly placed in Qizhou, and the caravan will be picked up when it passes through Qizhou to avoid being discovered, the time is tight, and the number of people is smaller, but don't worry, my people are still continuing to pull together, and there will definitely be more next time."

Qin Huaidao was a little less when he heard it: "Are your people reliable?" ”

"Absolutely reliable, they are all old people in the house."

"That's good, this time in addition to the caravan and the arrested gang members, more than 10,000 people, Qinjiazhuang has organized an escort team of 500 people, led by Fang Yiai, and the Criminal Department has also arranged a team to escort it, I don't feel at ease with this team, you work hard, go and keep an eye on it."

Cheng Chumo agreed: "No problem, will you come back?" ”

"Come back!"

Qin Huaidao said solemnly: "There are other caravans accompanying you this time, these caravans have a major role in Hanzhou, and you two have to be responsible for their safety along the way." ”

"Obey!" The two solemnly clasped their fists.

After a few more words, Qin Huaidao saw a carriage coming, in addition to the four guards who were driving the car, their eyes were calm and powerful, their hands did not leave the knife, and they looked like they were masters in the army, Cheng Chumo asked in surprise: "They are?" ”

"Duan Huaijian, Duan Zhan's eldest son, went with the caravan, and his identity was kept secret." Qin Huaidao whispered.

"Is that him? What is he going to do? Cheng Chumo asked curiously.

"Duan Zan is at the end, remember, keep it secret." Qin Huaidao said truthfully.

"Huh?"

Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai were taken aback, but quickly reacted that the Duan family had chosen to stand on the Han King, and they would be on the same boat in the future, thinking that Duan Zan and Qin Huaidao had fought side by side and won Tubo, which was also considered a brother in life and death, the two nodded knowingly, and did not ask more.

"This trip is mainly based on silence, supplemented by love, I hope you two will unite sincerely to ensure that the caravan goes back and forth." Qin Huaidao looked at the two of them and solemnly admonished.

"Obey!" The two of them looked grim.

Fang Yiai knew that he was easy to be impulsive, and he did not reject the arrangement based on Cheng Chumo, the two glanced at each other, and immediately hugged their fists towards Qin Huaidao: "Then let's take the first step?" ”

"Go, be careful all the way, and fly the pigeon in time to send the message."

"Obey!"

The two tacitly agreed and turned to leave.

Soon, the huge caravan slowly started and headed in the direction of the gate.

Flags hunting, horses neighing.

Qin Huaidao watched the caravan gradually move away, his eyes were cold, and he didn't move, this escort was too urgent, not only free labor, but also craftsmen, food, crossbows, etc., and other caravans accompanied him, once something happened, these caravans may not be willing to go to Hanzhou in the future, relying only on their own caravan, Hanzhou's development is too slow.

I hope that there will be no eyes to jump out and look for death.

"Uncle, Fang Xiang, Wei Guogong and Lu Guogong are here, in the reception room." Luo Wu stepped forward quickly and said.

Qin Huaidao was a little surprised, just sent the caravan away, the three of them came to the door, it would be fine, right? Walking forward quickly, he hurried to the courtyard on the top of the mountain, and saw three carriages parked at the door, and the people who drove the carriage clasped their hands together, shivering with cold, so they advised: "Luo Wu, let them go to the side room to rest, and prepare the stove, dried fruits, and tea." ”

"Understood." Luo Wu agreed.

Everyone thanked each other: "King Xie Han is compassionate. ”

"It's all your own people, so you're welcome." Qin Huaidao said politely and walked in the door.

A sentence of their own people instantly narrowed the distance between each other, and the hearts of these people who drove the car warmed, wrote down this affection, and followed Luo Wu to the side room.

I walked all the way and soon came to the reception room.

The door of the reception room was hidden, and there was a sound of talking inside, Qin Huaidao pushed the door in, and saw that He'er was greeting the guests, and said: "The younger generation has seen three uncles, I'm afraid it's not a small matter to come over in this cold weather, right?" ”

"Is the caravan gone?" Li Jing asked with a smile, his eyes full of love.

"Just sent away, I've been waiting for a long time." Qin Huaidao said and came to the place where the tea was made.

"Let's talk, I'm going to prepare lunch, what do you want to eat?" He'er looked at everyone, and immediately looked at Qin Huaidao.

"It's cold, prepare a hot pot, get some mutton, donkey meat." Qin Huaidao said directly.

He'er said yes and closed the door.

Fang Xuanling coughed lightly and said, "Virtuous nephew, the saint hopes to get married after the year, let the three of me come over and ask, agree on a specific date and regulations, what do you think about this?" ”

How to think, not how to decide.

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "Uncle Fang, we are all our own people, you are still an elder, if you have something to say, there is no need to tempt, this marriage is not knotted, and the younger generation also wants to hear the meaning of the three." ”

"The knot still has to be knotted, otherwise the saint will not be at peace in his heart." Fang Xuanling said with a wry smile.

Cheng Chumo looked at Li Jing, and said in a loud voice: "In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you don't tie the knot, with your current prestige and strength, you just need to leave quietly with Qinjiazhuang, who can help you when you arrive in Hanzhou?" If you like beautiful women, go back and the old man will help you find a bunch of them and send them over. ”

"Nonsense, send a bunch of them, you still don't think it's messy enough?" Fang Xuanling scolded.

"It's a mess, what are you afraid of? Anyway, our children have gone to Hanzhou, afraid of a bird. Cheng Biting Jin's temper came up, the last time he was suspended at home, Cheng Biting Jin was cold.

Fang Xuanling still wanted to scold, but Li Jing interrupted: "Xuanling, don't worry, I know Cheng Heizi's intentions, it's not that he is against marrying a princess, but he doesn't want the princess to become a wife, right?" As he spoke, he looked at Cheng Yanjin.

"Or you old fox understands me." Cheng Yanjin admitted calmly.

"It's not going to be easy." Fang Xuanling looked embarrassed, if he could, he didn't want Yu Zhang to become his wife.

Qin Huaidao knew that the people of this era attached great importance to their reputations, and the status of the main wife was very high, and the children born in the future were called concubines, who could inherit titles and property, and the children born to other wives were called concubines, and there was no right to inherit.

However, Qin Huaidao didn't have this concept, no matter how he was a descendant, it was his own bloodline inheritance, regardless of whether he was high or low, and said with a smile: "Three uncles, whether it's a wife or a flat wife, it's just a name, let's not discuss it first, the key is to marry or not?" I personally don't care. ”

"Marrying a princess means that it is difficult to part with the saint, once the saint becomes your elder, you can't refuse if you have something to ask for, otherwise it will be unfilial, once the name of unfilial piety spreads, your reputation will be greatly damaged, and many things will be difficult to do." Li Jing reminded.

"That is, the old man heard that the imperial court has been in trouble recently, if he asks you to borrow silver, will you borrow it? Put you in a key position, do something you don't want to do, do you do it or not? But if it weren't for the wife, there would be no such problem. Cheng Yanjin agreed.

"This is impossible, it must be a wife, otherwise where will the face of the court exist, and what will the face of the saint exist? There is no need to discuss the issue of status, either you don't marry, and once you do, you can only be a wife. Fang Xuanling said.

Everyone also understood the truth and looked at Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "Then get married, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a good day, this day is a big wedding, after marriage, I will leave Chang'an with my family and go to Hanzhou, and I can't find anything if I have something." ”

"It's a good idea." The trio's eyes lit up.

They are all old foxes, and when they heard Qin Huaidao's plans for the New Year, they secretly wrote it down, thinking about speeding up the arrangements for the layout of Hanzhou when they went back.

Li Jing thought of something and asked bluntly: "Are you ready to attack the Turks?" ”

"There's this idea." Qin Huaidao admitted it calmly.

Li Jing suddenly became excited, as a generation of military gods, his greatest wish is to expand the territory, but unfortunately he has to hide his edge and even pretend to be sick, but the fire in his heart has not been extinguished, and he said: "There are still some days before you leave, I will look back and think about it, and come up with a strategy to level the Turks." ”

"Then thank you Uncle Lee." Qin Huaidao was overjoyed, with Li Jing's move, he could save himself a lot of things.

Cheng Yanjin said with envy on his face: "It's a pity that we can't leave Chang'an, otherwise I really want to go to the battlefield with you, and the old man can fight for a few more years, and he will have no regrets in dying." ”

As a soldier, the best place to return is to the battlefield.

Qin Huaidao understood everyone's mood and said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng, the three brothers of the Cheng family have made a name for themselves in the Turks, with them, just like you went to the battlefield, you are the successor." ”

"That's, and I don't see who gave birth to it." Cheng Yanjin smiled proudly.

Li Jing and Fang Xuanling directly ignored it, what is this foolish thing about?

Who doesn't have a unicorn?

"The old man's lifelong wish is to recover the Western Regions and reappear the glory of the Han Dynasty, although he has no regrets in death, can he send the old man out of Chang'an?" Li Jing looked at Qin Huaidao with blazing eyes.

"This?" Qin Huaidao looked embarrassed.

"Don't worry, since practicing the Tai Chi you taught, plus quitting drinking, drinking tea, and conditioning the diet according to what you said, my body has improved a lot, I have no problem galloping on horseback, fighting on the battlefield, if I don't take back the Western Regions, the old man will not be blind to death, help me think of a way." Li Jing said solemnly, with a bit of longing.

Qin Huaidao's heart was full of shock, so "if you don't accept the Western Regions, you won't be blind to death".

This is the demeanor of a soldier.
