Cheng Chumo was a little reluctant to go back.
In his own opinion, Songzhou has just been recaptured, and there must be many battles to fight in the future.
When I go back at this time, a lot of credit will slip away from my hands in vain.
It's really a pity.
But he was worried that Zhao Chen would return to Chang'an alone, and Cheng Chumo didn't say anything else.
As for Qin Huaiyu, this guy rushed into Songzhou City first and made great contributions. After he returned, he would definitely be better than Cheng Chumo.
Niu Jinda was a little reluctant to leave.
But he also knew very well that Zhao Chen's stage would not be in the army.
The court in Chang'an is where Zhao Chen dares to stand.
There was not much to give to Zhao Chen. Just waved his hand and Niu Jinda said goodbye to Zhao Chen.
The three left Songzhou, rode on war horses, and ran towards Chang'an City, which had been away for two months.
...
"Zhao Da, you should get married when you go back this time, otherwise if you continue like this, your sister-in-law will not be worried about death."
By the bonfire, Cheng Chumo asked Zhao Chen with a smile.
Under the strong bonfire, the fragrant smell of barbecue permeated both sides of the official road.
"I will definitely have to make the marriage work when I go back this time. At that time, I and Cheng Er will bring other noble children from Chang'an City to make it lively for you." Qin Huaiyu also smiled.
This time I went to Songzhou, I was shocked and made me credit, and my qualifications became much better in the future.
Of course, Qin Huaiyu also knew that if it weren't for Zhao Chen's help, he wouldn't have made contributions now.
I don’t know if I will return to Chang’an if I have a life.
"Of course it's right." Zhao Chen nodded with a smile.
I thought of Li Ruoshuang who was far away in Chang'an City, and I don't know how she is now.
When leaving Chang'an, Zhao Chen didn't feel so reluctant.
However, after experiencing the Battle of Songzhou, in an instant, countless lives passed away quietly. When he returned to Chang'an, Zhao Chen's state of mind was no longer the same as before.
It is a great blessing to meet again after a long separation.
...
Three people and three riders, and they rushed all the way from Songzhou.
It took a full twenty days for the three of them to stand outside the Chang'an city wall.
Looking at the passers-by in the official road and listening to the familiar Guanzhong accent, Zhao Chen's heart also became excited.
It didn't take long to leave Chang'an, at most three months.
But everything in front of you seems to have such a strange feeling.
It is even more timid than the neighborhood feelings that others say. Zhao Chen is very eager to see everything in his memory.
Chang'an City in early spring is a little cold, and the cold wind blows on your face, like a knife cutting it.
The foal has grown a lot, and it has not been uncomfortable for 20 consecutive days of running around.
At this moment, the little foal seemed to have also recalled the memories of the past, and followed the crowd into Chang'an City with a loud noise.
In Pingkangfang, from afar, Zhao Chen saw the familiar house at the corner in front of him.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu held down their war horses and watched Zhao Chen go forward.
"Da—Da—Da—Da—"
The sound of the foal's hooves sounded crisply in the street outside the Wangyou Tavern.
Zhao Chen looked from afar and stood in red clothes on the steps outside the tavern, like a fairy exiled to the mortal world, staring in the direction of his return.
Zhao Chen held the foal, and the foal sniffed, and his big eyes flashed.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu turned their horses and left.
Zhao Chen dismounted and walked forward step by step.
I walked very slowly, so slow that Zhao Chen could clearly remember how many steps he had taken.
Li Ruoshuang kept jogging towards Zhao Chen.
In front of Zhao Chen, Li Ruoshuang stopped, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at Zhao Chen with a smile.
Zhao Chen also looked at her with a smile on his face.
"how are things?"
"fine!"
The two of them asked and answered in unison.
Then the two of them were stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud.
"How did you know I'll be back today, and I'll come to the tavern first?" Zhao Chen hugged Li Ruoshuang and asked softly.
Li Ruoshuang's face turned slightly red, she shook her head, obediently snuggled into Zhao Chen's arms, and chuckled, "Have you been going smoothly on the way back?"
Zhao Chen nodded.
Even if there are thousands of words in my heart, I can't say anything at this moment.
The joy after the reunion is just one more sentence, which will destroy the atmosphere at this moment.
Tears fell again, Li Ruoshuang rubbed Zhao Chen's arms, sniffed heavily, looked up and smiled at Zhao Chen, "It's not as hard as home outside, it's always harder. Let's go home."
Zhao Chen nodded, took Li Ruoshuang's little hand, and the two walked slowly towards home side by side.
...
"Your Majesty, the news came from below just now, the Marquis of Zhao County... Oh no, the Duke of Zhao County is back!"
In Ganquan Palace, Li Shimin is reviewing the memorial.
In a few days, spring planting will begin, and farming in various places will begin. Li Shimin is very concerned about the agricultural activities of the Tang Dynasty this year.
Especially those seeds that produce 3,000 kilograms per mu in Wannian County.
This year will be their first trial.
If it is feasible, Li Shimin himself dared not imagine what changes it would bring to the Tang Dynasty.
He was thinking about the day when Zhao Chen returned to Chang'an City. Li Shimin had a lot of things and wanted to ask Zhao Chen in person.
Calculate the day, Zhao Chen should come back these days.
However, when Li Shimin suddenly heard the news about the eunuch beside him, he was still stunned, and then he showed joy.
"Okay, just come back."
"Go and pass the news of Zhao Chen's return to Lizheng Hall." Li Shimin waved his hand and ordered.
Empress Changsun was so anxious that she didn't see Zhao Chen these days.
The news of Zhao Chen's return should also be told to her in time.
The eunuch left, and Li Shimin lost the intention to review the memorials.
He now wants to go to Zhao Chen's place, but he feels something is wrong.
After all, I am the emperor after all.
How can a minister not come to see him, but he goes to see him first?
Regarding Zhao Chen, Li Shimin already felt that he had no lower limit, but no lower limit, so he could not do so.
Otherwise, the censors in the court tomorrow would have to flood him.
Holding back on his inner thoughts, Li Shimin stomped a few more steps, and finally calmed down.
As soon as he sat down and wanted to continue reviewing the memorials, Li Shimin looked up and saw Empress Changsun coming quickly.
There was a strong joy on his face.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Zhao Chen has returned from Songzhou." Empress Changsun asked Li Shimin.
The look was filled with a strong look of expectation.
"Guanyin maid, I will summon Zhao Chen tomorrow, so I won't go today, it's not appropriate." Li Shimin didn't know what Empress Changsun was thinking.
But no matter how much I miss you, I can't go over to see him at this time.
If this is spread, not only the censors will be crazy, but even the prince and the King of Wei will have no way to explain it.
"I'm fine. If Zhao Chen's child can return to Chang'an City safely, I'll feel at ease. After His Majesty asks me tomorrow, can I ask Zhao Chen to come to establish the Zheng Palace?" Empress Changsun said to the emperor.
The emperor had turned the brothel next to Zhao Chen's new house into Chang'an Academy, which was also a foolish move.
Now the crown prince, the king of Wei and other royal children, as well as the sons of noble families, are all studying there.
The academy is only separated by a wall from Zhao Chen's mansion. If you go there frequently, you will inevitably be discovered by those people.
