Return with you

Chapter 1

In the innermost part of the old house and remnant alley in the corner of the city, there is a dilapidated mansion. The mahogany gate has long lost its original luster, and the seal on it has also been stained with old yellow stains. .

"General, what do you have to do here if you don't rest? I'm afraid you won't even see a single person here."

In front of the desolate and deserted mansion, there are now two more people and two horses.

After letting go of the stiff rope in his hand and dismounting, Liu Changan quietly stared at the half-hanging plaque that was about to completely fall to the ground.

Cobwebs crawled over the plaque, and it was covered with dust, making it hard to see what was written on it.

"Shi Suo, have you heard of the Emperor's Mansion back then?"

"Jun's mansion?" Shi Suo touched the newly grown beard on his chin, tilted his head in shock, and said, "Could it be that this is the mansion of Zuo Prime Minister Jun Zhuo, whose entire house was confiscated by the emperor four years ago?"

"Yes." Liu Changan's voice became a little distant.

Shi Suo kicked off his horse and stood behind his general, "Four years ago, Dali Siqing submitted to the emperor a letter from Prime Minister Zuo who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country and the prince of Fuguo. The emperor was furious and ordered to copy the emperor The family is full. I sneaked to the execution ground, and I still remember the day of the execution, the blood flowed all over the market, and no one from the Jun family survived, and all of them were decapitated."

"No one...is he alive..." Liu Changan's lips moved and he whispered to himself, the last light in the depths of his eyes was also covered by the surrounding cold descendants, and his eyes were dark.

"It seems, it seems to be today, the execution was carried out on this day four years ago." Shi Suo slapped his forehead and remembered.

"Shi Suo, give me your wine gourd."

Shi Suo took off the gourd hanging from the horse's neck, handed it to Liu Changan, watched Liu Changan uncork the jug, walked up the steps, and sprinkled the wine inside on the ground, as if paying homage to this mansion and the people who used to live in it .

"General..."

Liu Changan threw the jug back to Shi Suo, got on his horse, pulled the rope and turned his back to the Junfu, "Let's go, I will enter the palace with the Marshal when Shen Shi arrives, and return to the camp early to prepare. "

The horses left a series of marks on the quiet and dusty path, and drove back to the wide and prosperous avenue, heading for the city gate.

A plainly dressed woman stood at the entrance of the alley with a food box in her hand, looking at the backs of the distant horses with doubts on her face, but she quickly looked away and walked into the trail.

The woman stopped in her tracks, and in front of her was the palace that Liu Changan paid homage to just now.

Seeing a long streak of water on the ground and the faint smell of wine, the woman frowned slightly, and the woman inevitably thought of the two men in armor riding horses just now.

Can't think of any possibility, the woman ignored it, knelt on the steps, took out a plate of dishes that were not delicate but full of fragrance from the food box, and arranged them on the ground.

"Father, mother, brother, Lian'er has come to see you, are you all doing well under the Nine Springs?"

"Lian'er misses you very much, Lian'er wants to come to you, but mother said that Lian'er must live a good life, Lian'er listens to mother, even if she is dying, she will not give up this second life that mother gave easily. "

"Lian'er believes that father has been wronged. One day, Lian'er will seek justice for father and the whole family of our royal family."

The woman kowtowed three times, packed up her offerings, and left.

The woman walked slowly, but when she finally stopped, bitterness filled her heart, her eyes were dim, but she still stepped into the elegant and gorgeous pavilion in front of her.

The golden glazed tiles shone dazzlingly in the sunlight, and a black golden pear wood plaque was hung on the top of the red vermilion lacquered gate, on which were inscribed three big characters, Liuyun Pavilion.

"Xuan, the Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses will meet you."

The eunuch's shouts spread from the front of the Jinluan Hall to the outside of the hall, and the Marshal unfastened the sword from his waist and handed it to Shi Suo, then slapped Liu Chang'an's shoulder with his rough hand.

"Chang'an, follow me into the hall to face the saint."

"Yes."

On the solemn main hall stood four rows of officials, Liu Changan followed behind the marshal, dressed in brown and green armor.

The baptism of blood on the battlefield made her not afraid of the majesty of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and she still faced the front without squinting.

"Kowtow to the Holy One."

Liu Chang'an and the Marshal knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists in greeting.

"Aiqing, please hurry up. Aiqing fought for three years, and finally defeated the country of Fu. The king of the country of Fu sent a letter of peace yesterday, willing to pay tribute for 50 years. The peace and stability of the country in these 50 years are all due to the marshal and Thanks to the soldiers!"

"My lord, praise." The marshal pulled Liu Changan to stand up, pushed her to his oblique front, and once again bowed his head and cupped his fists, "My lord, Liu Changan's greatest contribution in this battle must be none other than Liu Chang'an. If he hadn't discovered the talent The country's grain delivery team followed to the granary where the grain was stored, and at night led a few soldiers to set fire to Fu Guo's grain and salary for nearly a year, and I am afraid that our court will have to continue the stalemate with Fu Guo."

The emperor's dragon face was joyful, and the twelve jade crowns with nine crowns on his head also grinned because of a little anger.

"Okay, okay, it really is a boy born from a hero! Liu Changan, how old are you this year?"

"Nine times out of ten."

"You haven't reached the crown yet, hahaha, you're my youngest general." The emperor stroked the beard on his chin, with a proud smile on his face, "Liu Changan, how do you want me to reward you? "

The depression of the monarch's mansion flashed through his mind, and he clenched his fists in the next moment. Before he found conclusive evidence, he couldn't just ask the emperor to retract his confession, otherwise he might not even be able to keep his status as a general. How about overturning the case for the Junfu...

"My lord, the final general only wants a house in the southwest corner of Chang'an City."

"Yes, I will give you five hundred miles of gold, one thousand taels of silver, and the title deed to the largest house in the southwest corner of Chang'an City."

"The final general kowtows to the Holy One."

"A big banquet will be held tonight, and all the officials will congratulate us on our triumphant return!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

A huge moon bead hangs on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining brightly like a bright moon. The ground is covered with white jade, embedded with golden beads, and the ground is carved into a lotus.

Amber wine, jasper cups, gold-footed bottles, emerald plates, picturesque food, spring-like wine, zithers, and bells.

Ethereal and illusory, luxurious and corrupt.

Looking at the wine filled in the gold bottle in front of him, Liu Changan recalled the desolate desert on the battlefield.

Flames of war raged, swords criss-crossed and clashed harshly, blood splashed everywhere, people fell one after another, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in a pungent bloody smell...

A big knife stained with dark red blood and bright red blood came from the front, Liu Changan closed his eyes instantly, and raised his hand to avoid the fierce knife.

"General Liu, General Liu?"

"what!"

There was a chill down his back, cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and ran across his cheeks. Liu Changan's face was pale, and he was obviously still in shock.

Why... I suddenly remembered...

"General Liu, seeing your pale face, do you need me to pass on the imperial physician for you?"

The slack pupils gathered light again, and Liu Changan finally saw the person standing in front of his banquet table. He was wearing a four-clawed green robe and holding an emerald bottle.

Liu Changan clasped his fists in embarrassment.

"The last general is rude, please forgive me, Prince Duan."

Huangfu stretched out his hand and lightly pressed Liu Changan's fist, and smiled indifferently, "General Liu doesn't need to do this, this king is not a stingy person."

"Thank you, Lord."

"You don't need to look outside, this king just wants to pay a toast to General Liu, and to my youngest general who has made outstanding military exploits. Come!"

Picking up the gold bottle on the table, Liu Changan handed it forward, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Refreshing." Huangfu Duan also raised his head and drank the wine in the bottle, turned his head to look at the emperor Fu and then turned back to Liu Changan, "At this banquet today, let's have a drink with Chang'an to establish friendship with Chang'an. When you come to Japan, the king will invite Chang'an to have a good time." drink all night."

After Huangfu Duan finished speaking, he walked back to his own banquet table and continued to drink with the ministers beside him.

Liu Chang'an didn't know what Prince Duan was planning to make a friendship with him, but judging from the rumors, Prince Duan only knew how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and he was one of the dandies in Chang'an City. The emperor made a decree and was forced to come, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

"General Liu, you are back."

The soldiers on guard saw the face of the man coming up on horseback, and immediately put away their casual expression and replaced it with a flattering smile.

"Yeah." On weekdays, Liu Changan didn't talk much, and after he was promoted to general, he was even more reticent. Coupled with the exhaustion from today's busy schedule, Liu Changan hurriedly responded, with the horse's belly between his thighs, and entered. After leaving the barracks, he went straight to his tent.

The camp where the soldiers rested and slept was pretty quiet today, Liu Changan looked around suspiciously, and saw that the camp to the northeast was full of flames, presumably they were all there.

He took off the heavy and complicated armor on his body, revealing the slender but strong torso under the armor.

Going to the kitchen to bring two buckets of warm water, Liu Changan untied the laces of his obscene clothes and the white cloth that wrapped his chest.

The youngest general of the dynasty whom the emperor personally recognized was actually a genuine woman.

Liu Changan soaked the cloth towel, and the warm and damp cloth brushed over his skin, wiping away the exhaustion from a tiring day, both mentally and physically.

After cleaning up, Liu Changan, who was sitting on the side of the low couch and was about to fall asleep, heard more and more noise, whistles, laughter, pushing, and more, the three people who couldn't ignore her one after another. Words, General Liu.

This group of soldiers who were a little drunk and staggering on their feet were sensible, they only shouted General Liu at the door of Liu Changan's tent, none of them dared to open the curtain door and barge in.

Back then, after Liu Changan had his own camp, a few close friends were careless, and went directly into Liu Changan's camp without consent. After repeated warnings to no avail, Liu Changan couldn't bear it, and picked out a few strong men by himself. Han, they were beaten so badly that their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they couldn't even recognize their parents. Only then did the people in the barracks really understand that Liu Chang'an's tent must never be entered without authorization.

Putting on a plain clothes, Liu Changan got up and went out to see what was going on.

A dark group of people outside surrounded a petite, timid, trembling woman in the center.

Liu Changan frowned, she could see the eyes of some of her soldiers were like wolves, ready to move but had to suppress it.

Except for military prostitutes, no women are allowed to enter the military camp, and she has also clearly ordered not to send any military prostitutes to her camp. Although Liu Changan hates this injustice, there is nothing he can do about it.

"General Liu, this is a new military prostitute from the emperor, we picked the most beautiful one and sent it to General Liu."

Liu Changan was about to refuse, but he was interrupted before he opened his mouth.

"This battle is over, General Liu doesn't need to restrain himself anymore, after holding back for so many years, it's time to vent his anger, everyone said, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The earth-shattering shout almost pierced Liu Changan's ears.

"If it wasn't for General Liu, everyone would still have to stay in that wretched place, and their brains would disappear someday. We five big and three rough can't offer any thanks, so we can only borrow something to offer General Liu."

Several people pushed the woman to Liu Chang'an, Liu Chang'an either answered or not.

Thinking that General Liu's reticence meant acquiescing, a group of surrounding soldiers dispersed, except for some who glanced back at the pretty-looking woman.

There was no other way, Liu Changan had no choice but to let this woman enter her tent. Seeing her with red eyes and tears on her face, Liu Changan still couldn't bear it.

"Hey, you..." Hearing Liu Changan's words, the woman flinched unconsciously, full of fear and terror.

"You sleep in my tent at night and leave tomorrow."

Regardless of what happened to the woman, Liu Changan lifted the curtain door and left after taking his armor and sword.

Walking aimlessly in the barracks, very boring, looked up and saw a mountain behind the barracks, Liu Changan finally decided to go wandering in the mountains for a night.
