Although Wang Wu killed Li Liangzuo today and did not capture him alive, he still won the first prize. Even if Li Zhan punished him, he would definitely be promoted again and become a general just around the corner.

Wang Wu looked at the brothers who were laughing at him and showed no sense of loyalty. He cursed angrily and walked towards Li Zhan with the head of Xixia Emperor Li Liangzuo.

Li Zhan was sitting under a big tree in the palace. The lush tree was lush and green, blocking most of the sunlight. The remaining small amount of light passed through the gaps in the leaves, leaving mottled light and shadow, imprinted on Li Zhan's face.

Above, Li Zhan is holding a classic book in his hand. This is an only copy found in the Xixia Palace. Even Li Zhan has never read it.

Li Zhan read the solitary book in his hand with gusto, ignoring Wang Wu who had been waiting beside him for a long time. The sky got dark early in winter, but it was already darkening just after midnight, and Li Zhan had to stop reading.

, put the books away carefully, then raised his head to look at Wang Wu, who had been waiting for a long time, and said warmly.

"You beheaded Li Liangzuo?"

At this time, Wang Wu was like a bullied little daughter-in-law, looking at Li Zhan submissively, with a flattering smile on her face, and said a little embarrassedly.

"Prime Minister, I didn't do it on purpose. Who would have thought that this old boy would pretend to be a eunuch and escape without speaking human words. I was so anxious that I chopped him up!"

Wang Wu was quite depressed and lifted up Li Liangzuo's dead head. He was extremely resentful and did not care about the shocked expression on Li Liangzuo's head.

Li Zhan waved his hand to stop Wang Wu's sophistry and said directly.

"Go back and get twenty military sticks, then go to Yaowu Camp and become your general!"

Wang Wu smiled happily and responded happily, not caring at all about the punishment of twenty army sticks. Don't look at the fact that Li Zhan only promoted him by one level. It seemed that it did not match the credit for beheading the Xixia Emperor, but don't forget that this was just Li Zhan.

His promotion did not include any awards from the later court, so Wang Wu was bound to become a commander, and was even expected to become a co-commander, which could be regarded as a senior general in the army.

Li Zhan frowned and glanced at Li Liangzuo's head, then continued.

"Take care of this head, I will take it back and present it to the official family!"

Wang Wu nodded, then said goodbye and left.

Zhang Ying also walked over in full armor at this time, bowed and said respectfully.

"Prime Minister, we have completely arranged everything in Xingqing Mansion. What do you think we should do next?"

Li Zhan nodded, looked at the sunset that had begun to set, the orange-red afterglow reflected on the palace wall, very gorgeous, and said with a firm voice.

"You can just stay here, I'm ready to go back to Beijing!"

Zhang Ying's face changed drastically and she immediately stopped him.

"Prime Minister, you are going back to Beijing alone, you must not do it!"

Li Zhan looked indifferent, turned around and glanced at Zhang Ying with a worried look on his face, shook his head and said.

"If I lead an army back to the capital, I am afraid that the officials and the civil and military officials will not be able to sleep, so I have to go back to the capital alone. You should stay here. I think the officials will send people to reward the generals.

!”

Zhang Ying's expression was full of disapproval, but she also knew that she could not persuade Li Zhan, who had already made up his mind. He frowned at Li Zhan, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and said.

"The general is willing to accompany the Prime Minister back to the capital!"

Li Zhan looked at Zhang Ying with pleasure. He could feel the sincerity of Zhang Ying's words, but he still shook his head slowly and refused.

"This trip back to Beijing is extremely dangerous, why do you need to go back with me?"

Zhang Ying became even more determined after hearing this. She didn't care about the danger of accompanying Li Zhan back to Beijing this time, but bowed and continued to plead.

"I would also like to ask the Prime Minister to help me. The danger of the general's return to the capital is not great. For the sake of my father's sake, the officials will never embarrass the general. The prime minister will inevitably need someone to take care of him on the way. The general will return to the capital with you.

It couldn’t be more appropriate!”

Li Zhan took a deep look at Zhang Ying. Thinking of the importance of the British public to the official family, Zhang Ying's return to the capital was indeed not in great danger, so it was no harm. He nodded and then spoke.

"In this case, we will set off early tomorrow morning!"

"Here!"

Zhang Ying's face was heavy. He could already imagine that even if the officials did not pursue Li Zhan's case this time when he returned to Beijing, he would definitely be ostracized and neglected in the future. Li Zhan would no longer be allowed to lead troops in battles.

If you keep him in Bianjing, you will never let him out of the capital.

In the early morning of the next day, more than 200,000 troops gathered together in orderly formation, with solemn expressions. A heavy atmosphere spread over the soldiers, and they stood silently outside the city of Xingqing Mansion.

Li Zhan led the war horse, with a wooden box hanging on the saddle containing Li Liangzuo's head, followed by Zhang Ying.

Li Zhan slowly walked out of the city gate, then suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes were full of surprise, and he felt very happy when he saw the Wuhui Army standing in awe.

Li Zhan turned on his horse, the reins in his hands shook slightly, and the Zhaoye lion under his crotch ran lightly. Li Zhan looked at the army, no regrets in his heart, and ran towards Bianjing without stopping.

All the soldiers suddenly knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.

"The Wu Regret Army respectfully sends the Prime Minister off!"

The voice was loud and shocking. Li Zhan heard this, but still did not look back. Zhang Ying followed closely behind him. The soldiers did not get up for a long time, with a trace of worry and blessing on their faces.

Zhang Ying looked at the trees passing by quickly and asked loudly.

"Prime Minister, have you thought about it? If you return to Beijing alone, the officials may not take action!"

Li Zhan smiled loudly and said nonchalantly.

"Although the official family has a small structure, it is not like killing donkeys and beheading heroes. What's more, more than 200,000 troops without regrets are still at the border. It is also a deterrent to the official family. On the contrary, he will not

act rashly!"

Naturally, Li Zhan would not do anything he was not sure about. He expected that although the officials were afraid of him, they would never do anything to him. Instead, they would give him a large reward. And he was willing to return to Beijing alone in order to show it to the officials.

Sincerity, in order to calm the hearts of the monarch and ministers in Bianjing.

Bianjing City was already in sight. Li Zhan reined in his horse, looked back at Zhang Ying, and said with a smile.

"Are you ready to go to the palace with me to meet the Holy Spirit?"

Zhang Ying said bluntly with a firm look on her face, without any fear.

"The general has already prepared to follow the Prime Minister!"

"Hahaha, okay, then let's take care of the officials who are already anxious at this time!"

Li Zhan's horse galloped forward, and Zhang Ying's heroic spirit rose sharply. He followed closely behind and rushed towards Bianjing City.

"Guan family, Prime Minister Li Zhan has returned to Beijing!"

The chamberlain knelt down on the ground, his head pressed tightly to the ground, and said respectfully.

After hearing this, the officials immediately stood up and asked repeatedly.

"How many troops did Li Zhan bring back to Beijing?"

The chamberlain still knelt tightly in the hall and said loudly.
