Chapter 97 After returning home
A welcome banquet made everyone thrilling. Unexpectedly, nothing happened under the help of the emperor and the general. For a moment, many people were inevitably secretly disappointed.
After the banquet, Xiao Li followed the general and returned to the general's mansion.
Since receiving the news that the army had returned to the city, Mrs. Xiao has already hoped that Xiao Li could go home as soon as possible. Finally, she has been waiting for this day, but unfortunately, Xiao Li still has to go to the palace to report her life and cannot go home directly. This time, Mrs. Xiao has been waiting for a whole day. When she saw her daughter returning, it was already dusk.
In the winter in Lingjiang City, although it is not very cold compared to the border desert, it is also cold and the wind blows makes people feel painful. At this time, Mrs. Xiao, who is standing under the gate tower of the General's Mansion, only had a wide cloak on her body.
Xiao Li rode on the white horse and saw the figure of her mother standing under the gatehouse looking forward. At that moment, looking at Mrs. Xiao Li's eyes suddenly filled with tears.
Suddenly, he exerted force under his feet, raised his four hooves and galloped towards the gate of the general's mansion like the wind. When he came closer, Xiao Li quickly rolled off the horse, like a deserter returning to the nest, and went straight to his wife's arms: "Mother... Li'er is back!"
At this time, Mrs. Xiao even stretched out her arms and hugged Xiao Li in her arms. She smiled, smiled with tears, and gently supported her back with kindness, and said kindly: "Mother A Li is finally back! Child, do you know how much I care about you in these days! But... Now you are finally back, it's good to come back! It's good to come back!"
At this moment, the general and Qin Jian rushed over.
Qin Jian stepped forward and greeted him, "Qin Jian has met his wife!"
But Mrs. Xiao helped her up: "Silly children, they are all their own family, why are they so polite?" Then she stretched out her arms and brought her and Xiao Li into her arms.
At this time, the general had already come close to him. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but sigh.
However, soon, he laughed at his wife: "Madam, A Li has just returned to Beijing today. I'm afraid she has suffered a lot along the way. In addition, she just came back from the palace and thought she was tired. If you have anything to say, why don't you go in first before you can explain it in detail."
"Oh oh oh oh ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ' i was so happy that I forgot all this." The lady raised her hand and gently wiped the tears that had fallen on her cheeks. Then she reached out to slap Xiaoli and Qinjian's shoulders, and smiled and said, "Let's go, if you have anything to say, let's go home first."
As soon as she returned to the inner courtyard hall, Mrs. Xiao couldn't wait to pull Xiao Li into her arms, look left and right, and then push her around in a circle, hoping to see her whole body.
"Mom~~" Xiao Li's heart was filled with sweetness when she saw her mother treating her like this. Before she knew it, she even acted coquettishly at Mrs. Xiao: "Have you seen enough..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but reach out to her nose, smiled at her dotingly, and said, "Silly girl, how can my mother get bored when she sees her children? Besides, you don't think about how long it took for my mother to see you."
After hearing this, Xiao Li couldn't help but reach out to hold his mother's hand and swung back and forth: "Mom... A Li knows... Mom, he is the person who loves A Li the most in this world! In fact, during this period, A Li has always missed her mother very much. She really wished she would win the battle earlier and return to her side sooner."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows and smiled at her, and asked, "Really?"
When Xiao Li heard this, she pouted and said coquettishly: "Mom...you don't believe Li'er, do you?"
But when she saw Mrs. Xiao suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled her into her arms. She smiled and said, "Believe...I believe! You are my mother's daughter. If you don't believe in you, who else can you believe?"
When Xiao Li heard this, she couldn't help but smile sweetly.
But at this moment, the general suddenly interrupted, "Madam, look, Ali is back safely. You can tell her two people at any time if you have anything to say. But these days, I have always been concerned about the border city wars. Why don't you let Ali tell us about the wars these days first. There are also Jun Ke and Xu Junshi, and I don't know what they are doing now."
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she couldn't help but let go of Xiao Li in her arms and nodded repeatedly, "Lier, what your father said, "After these days, he has seen all his thoughts in his mother. Tell me, you, a little girl, have taken troops to fight. And he, a general, is guarding this capital every day. How frustrating he is in his heart."
After saying that, the lady smiled at Xiao Li and said, "It's better for you now. Let's follow the general's wish first and tell you about the wars that have been experienced in the border town during this period."
Seeing that his parents said this, Xiao Li couldn't help but suddenly put away his laughing face and nodded, "Okay, since Dad is concerned about the border town, then A Li will report to Dad about what has happened in these days."
Afterwards, Xiao Li started from the north and told the general and his wife everything she saw and heard along the way, as well as everything she had experienced after arriving at the border town.
But when he saw the generals and his wife, he learned that the people were displaced due to the war, he could not help but shook his head and sigh. When he learned that the deputy general Chen Tang and the elite cavalry in the border city fought bloody battles in the Jingjun camp, he was unable to rush out in the general, and then he was buried in the army camp, he suddenly became full of tears.
When he heard that Xiao Li defeated Su Da, a famous general of the Jing Army, and took his life in one fell swoop, the old general couldn't help but praise him, sighing that Xiao Li was indeed worthy of being the descendant of the general, and this time he acted quite like a father.
However, when Xiao Li talked about her carelessness and actually fell into Kadal's trick, which resulted in the fact that the master of the Mirror Army burned the food and supplies of Ling's 200,000 troops overnight, looking at Xiao Li's face full of grief, the general couldn't help but sigh: "So the battlefield changes, and the outcome is uncertain. However, as long as you have enough war experience, this thing can be avoided. But Ali... Although you are more smart, this battlefield experience is still insufficient!"
After hearing this, Xiao Li couldn't help but bow his head sincerely: "Dad taught me! Thinking back to the beginning, A Li was full of enthusiasm and thought that war was just like this. As long as he could drive the Mirror Army away from my border and promote the power of the Ling army, it would not be a difficult task. However, after he arrived, my daughter realized that all this was not as simple as her daughter thought."
Speaking of this, Xiao Li suddenly stood up from her seat, then carried her hands on her back and forth in the hall.
After pondering for a while, she looked up again and said, "On this trip to the border town, my daughter truly understood that this war was not just about the win or loss of the two armies. As the saying goes, one general succeeded and ten thousand bones were undone. What the war really brought to the people is indeed countless pain. As a general, he should not only lead the army to win the war, but also minimize the number of casualties in the war. In this way, he will not add more pain to the people in the world."
"Yes." When the general heard Xiao Li say this, he nodded in admiration, and then smiled and said to his wife: "It seems that our A Li has not gone in vain. At least, in the days to come, I believe that she will not do such a reckless thing again."
However, when it comes to being reckless, Xiao Li suddenly thought of the ultimate mistake she made in Zhile Palace today.
Although my father never mentioned that incident again along the way back, in Xiao Li's heart, he always felt that he could not let go.
However, until this moment, the general still did not mention that matter. At this time, his mother happened to ask about his elder brother Xiao Junke.
"Ali, I just heard you talk about Jun Ke's child. You said that last time, he led a thousand elite cavalry to attack the Mirror Army. Although he finally broke out of the siege with your cater to you. But is your elder brother really nothing?"
After hearing this, Xiao Li knew that her mother was worried about her elder brother and wanted to hide something, but without further ado, it was naturally conceivable.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "What my mother is saying. Although that time, my elder brother was very lucky and did not die in the battle surrounded by the Jing army like the deputy general Zhen Tang. However, after my daughter rescued my elder brother, she was still half of her life left! In addition, almost all of the thousand elite cavalry died in the surrounding area of the Jing army. Only forty-seven heroes were left when they returned to my border town. In this way, my elder brother was a physical and mental disaster. If it weren't for the timely treatment of the military doctor, I'm afraid he would have..."
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, her expression suddenly sternly and asked repeatedly: "What about him now? His injuries have healed a little?"
But Xiao Li suddenly laughed and said, "Don't you know the elder brother's temper? Even if he only has a little chance to survive, how could he bear to lose his life when the enemy is in front of him? That's why my daughter said that elder brother is actually very lucky and has only been recuperating in the city for half a month, and then he has led my border soldiers to become my daughter's reserve army."
Speaking of this, Xiao Li couldn't help but sigh again: "It was also since then that my daughter was the main attacker and the elder brother was the main defense, but in the end, my daughter was still slightly inferior, almost causing my 200,000 troops to lose her life! Fortunately, King Mingcheng arrived at his daughter's camp in time! Unfortunately, the prince was still one step late, otherwise his daughter might not have caused General Zhang to lose his life..."
At this point, Xiao Li's face couldn't help but feel sad again: "Oh...that time, my daughter almost lost her Qin Jian."
At this moment, Qin Jian, who had been standing behind her, suddenly burst into tears on his face.
When the general and his wife heard this, they couldn't help but feel sweaty for Xiao Li. Later, after learning about Qin Jian and Zhang Laowu's encounter, they were even more sighing. They reached out and Mrs. Xiao pulled Qin Jian to her side, and couldn't help but hold her up again, gently patting her on her back and comforting her: "Good child, this journey really makes you suffer!"
But the Qin Jian can only sob and sob, and it can no longer be said.
Seeing this situation in front of him, Wang Zhong, the guard who had been following the general, couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the general is indeed a god-like prediction. Fortunately, the general asked the emperor to send a delayed army for the lady, otherwise this battle..."
When Xiao Li heard this, she suddenly fell down in front of the general: "Dad is here, please accept your daughter's begging! If it weren't for Dad, the daughter would die alone, which would be a trivial matter, but if the 200,000 troops under her daughter were gone, it would be a sin that would be difficult for her to repay forever."
Seeing Xiao Li like this, the general couldn't help but reach out to help her up: "Ali! Now, isn't everything gone? Dad believes in you. Even if Dad fails to make a decision in time, my Ali will definitely think of a way to minimize the suffering and casualties."
Xiao Li could only lower her head and smile bitterly when she heard this. She thought that she hadn't thought of a solution, and even tried to sneak into the Jingjun camp alone to assassinate Kadal, but in the end, she still failed.
Chapter completed!
