Chapter 95 Return of Triumph

On the day the army entered the city, the entire Lingjiang City was empty, and the people in the city were all guarding the streets at the city gate to welcome them.

General Xiao Chaogui naturally came out of the city early. When he saw his precious daughter return safely, he couldn't help but comfort her, and couldn't help but look at her and smile.

After seeing his father, Xiao Li quickly got out of the saddle and stepped forward to greet him, "Dad, A Li is back!"

The general looked at Xiao Li and couldn't help but smile and said to himself: People say that a tiger father has no dog son. It seems that I not only have a few good sons, but also a good daughter who doesn't let his beards go!

After a smile, he took a step forward, helped Xiao Li up and said, "Ali, it's true that he is my Xiao's daughter, who is good!"

"Dad is too much!" Xiao Li was naturally very happy to be able to get her recognition, but when she heard her father praise her like this, she couldn't help but make her blush.

After a while, Huangfu Haotian also came forward. After everyone greeted him, they got on their horses again and headed all the way to the capital.

Half an hour later, the army came to the city and heard three sounds of salutes that resounded through the sky from the city. Then the city gates opened wide, and the people in the city waved colorful ribbons in their hands with the loud gongs and drums to express their joy for the army's victory.

Surrounded by the people of the city, Xiao Li, Huangfu Haotian and the generals finally arrived in front of the square under the imperial city.

At this moment, the Crown Prince had already been waiting here accompanied by Prince Wu and all the princes.

Xiao Li and the generals followed Huangfu Haotian and got off the horse. The crowd rushed to the center of the square, saluted the crown prince, and said, "I will meet the crown prince."

"No gifts and flattery!" His Royal Highness, wearing a thick fox fur fur, sat on a specially made soft couch, with a slightly pale face. At this moment, he couldn't help but smile with a gratitude: "Dear generals, I have worked hard all the way! I was very happy to learn that the generals have returned triumphantly, so today, despite the obstruction of his father, came to welcome everyone!"

Speaking of this, his eyes pretended to be unintentional and glanced at Huangfu Haotian. Huangfu Haotian knew it in his heart, but his face was still silent.

Afterwards, Xiao Li and the generals greeted the princes again. After a chirping noise, the current atmosphere became even more lively.

First, Prince Wu Huangfu Haobo walked up, and saw him smiled slightly at Huangfu Haotian and bowed: "Fourth brother, it's really good! I didn't expect that you have been there for a few days and helped Miss Lier drive all the mirror army out of the border of Lingguo. It seems that this time, your contribution is really great! Second brother is here, and he really admires you!"

Huangfu Haotian hurriedly replied, "The second emperor's words are so serious. My trip is just to be loyal to the country and serve the father, so I should do my best. As for the merits, I naturally dare not be greedy for me alone. Because the reason why my Lingjun was able to win today's victory in this trip was not because of my own merits, but because all the soldiers of my Lingjun were not afraid of life and death, and exchanged their lives for the hands of the Jingjun."

After hearing what he said, Prince Wu also took the opportunity to turn the topic to Xiao Li and the generals. He first turned to Xiao Li, clasped his fists at her, and laughed loudly: "Miss Li'er, it's indeed a heroine! I, Huangfu Haobo, am deeply impressed by this!"

Xiao Li also smiled at him indifferently and said, "The prince is so serious. Xiao Li's trip is just a matter of loving the soldiers. The little girl dares not take credit for herself."

"Where, where, Miss Li'er led my Ling army to fight against the Jing army as a woman, which has already demonstrated the power of my Ling army. What's more, now you can return triumphantly, and you have become the heroine of the people of the Ling country!"

For a moment, Xiao Li could not say anything about him, so she had to smile at him indifferently and stopped talking. Fortunately, Huangfu Haobo is a high-ranking person after all, and he naturally has his own set of principles in dealing with people and things. So even if he wanted to deliberately please Xiao Li, he would not neglect others because of her. What's more, Huangfu Haobo's heart has always been quite rich. Therefore, he will definitely consider carefully what kind of benefits this matter will bring to him when doing anything.

So, soon Huangfu Haobo turned his attention away on Xiao Li, and then began to pay attention to the generals following her. In this way, Xiao Li was happy to be idle, but it took a long time, and the other princes also surrounded her.

First, the fifth prince surrounded her: "Miss Li'er, I admire you so much! When I think of you commanding thousands of troops and fighting against the Jing army, I am very excited."

The Seventh Prince naturally did not show any weakness. At this time, he also rushed forward and said to her: "It's just a pity. My father thought we were young and had no experience in leading troops. He insisted on letting us go there. Otherwise, I would have fought against him with the Jingjun for three days and three nights, and he had to kill him a piece of armor and keep it!"

Xiao Li couldn't help but smile and said, "The Seventh Prince is indeed ambitious. Xiao Li believes that as long as the Seventh Prince has such ambition, one day there will be a day that will make you show your strength."

Seeing that there was a very lively situation above the square, fortunately, at this time, the crown prince spoke in time and stopped everyone's enthusiasm in time.

"Fourth brother, General Xiao, and all the generals. Today, I am not only happy to return triumphantly, but even the current emperor has been so happy that he has not had a good rest for days and nights. Today, the emperor has already set up a banquet in the palace and is waiting to welcome you."

When you heard this, you quickly knelt down and thanked you: "I am waiting to thank you for your kindness!"

The crown prince smiled at everyone again and said, "God of generals!" Then he turned around and ordered the princes who followed him, "Brothers, I must be very excited when I see the army return successfully. But at this time, the emperor is already waiting, so it is better for everyone to invite the generals into the palace first."

After hearing this, the princes could not help but nodded and said, "What the emperor said is extremely true!" Then they retreated to the prince together, and made an invitation to Huangfu Haotian, Xiao Li and you all, saying, "Please--"

"Please—"

"Please—"

After Xiao Li and the others entered the palace, they saw that the palace was even more solemnly prepared than the city.

Not to mention the lights and singing of the drums and zithers everywhere in Xuanming Palace. Just after hearing the army returned, the emperor had already ordered the banquet in the palace and even dressed up with the queen.

In addition, the emperor also ordered the four talented women in Beijing, the Yuwen sisters, Tang Xuanji and Liu Mingyan, hoping that they could motivate the dancers in the palace to dance to the grand event. What's more, Prince Wu Huangfu Haobo also specially recommended this time, Li Saijun, the world-famous Liufang Pavilion, to enter the palace to dance with the beauties in the world to harmoniously dance with the world.

At this moment, Xiao Li, Huangfu Haotian and others had just entered the Dade Hall and heard a deacon and eunuch at the entrance of the hall sing loudly: "The emperor has an order, Xiao Li, the general of the country, and the general of the supervising battle, Huangfu Haotian, enter the palace and see--"

"Wei (someone) received the order!" After the two of them received the order, they hurried into the palace to report.

When he entered the hall, he saw the emperor dressed in his seat, waiting for Xiao Li and Huangfu Haotian to come to describe the battle in detail.

Xiao Li and Huangfu Haotian walked forward and knelt down to the emperor first. Then, under the supervision of the emperor, Xiao Li spoke to the emperor about the two-month battle situation. Naturally, the bitterness and pain in this were not something she could understand in just a few words. Fortunately, Huangfu Haotian was still beside her. With his help and deliberate concealment, Xiao Li had to omit some misconduct and try to tell the emperor some wonderful battle situations.

After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but look happy and praised Xiao Li and Huangfu Haotian for being like a god of war and being a heroic son and daughter of Daling Kingdom.

After learning about the war, the emperor couldn't help but order to set up Zhile Palace and summoned all the generals to join the princes to enter Zhile Palace for a banquet to wash the dust.

At the banquet, there was a joyful mood. Xiao Li, Huangfu Haotian, and the generals, accompanied by the emperor and the queen, as well as the princes and ministers, were extremely glorious.

In addition, the Changle Palace, the zither and the talented girl in Beijing danced to cheer up. For a moment, the entire Xuanming Palace could not help but feel a scene of singing and dancing. When all this fell into the emperor's eyes, he couldn't help but feel more relieved.

After three rounds of wine, the emperor looked at Xiao Li, who was already a little drunk, and suddenly remembered a wish she had made to herself before the army set off. Now, since the army has returned triumphantly, as the king of a country, he should naturally have to fulfill his promise.

So at this moment, the emperor was holding the Nine Dragon Jade Cup in his hand, suddenly looked at Xiao Li with a smile, and asked, "Xiao Li Xiao Li."

After hearing this, Xiao Li quickly stood up from her seat: "I am here!"

But the emperor smiled and said to her, "I once remembered that when I asked for this handsome seal, I had made a wish to me. But I wonder if my dear friend today can tell me what the wish you made that day is? Why not tell me what I want to fulfill my promise earlier?"

"This..." If the emperor did not mention this matter, Xiao Li really wanted to ignore this matter at this time.

What she originally thought was just to avenge her own personal grudges. She originally hoped that she could take this opportunity to make the past what Prince Wu and Huangfu Haotian had done so that the emperor could see the faces of the two of them clearly, and to come forward to punish them and avenge themselves.

However, the result seemed to be a bit unexpected to her.

This march was only two months short, but Xiao Li felt that life actually had such great significance.

In the army, the life and death she experienced had long surpassed the killer's life in her previous life. However, the most important thing is that the life and death of those people did not concern their personal interests. In addition, during the march, everything she experienced seemed to tell her something. Sometimes, as long as people can still live well, that is the happiest thing in the world. As for those irrelevant grievances, it is better to let them go with the wind!

Of course, there is another important point. That is, how could she imagine that at that time? It turned out that in her heart, she inevitably fell in love with Huangfu Haotian.

Now that things have come to this point, how could she ask the emperor to impose cruel sanctions on the person she loves? Of course she can't do that, nor can she be so cruel and ruthless.
