The third princess, Qi Ya, the queen, her sisters and others smiled and nodded, then quickly set off to catch up with Young Master Liu and the others.
Han Peng watched the three princesses and the other beauties gradually disappearing away, then he looked at Liu Dashao and the others who were already walking under the city wall, and suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
My ancestors, your majesty, the empresses, and the fourth princess have gone down.
Han Peng sighed secretly in his heart, and then breathed a long sigh of relief again.
At this moment, only he himself knew how tense his mind had been.
It would be an understatement to say that I was terrified, my heart was pounding so fast that I almost jumped out of my throat.
The reason why I am so nervous is that there is nothing I can do about it.
After all, Mr. Liu's unsteady steps and twists and turns when he walked just now were really worrying.
As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.
If the commander accidentally knocks him somewhere in front of his eyes, or touches him somewhere, he will at least be accused of failing to protect him well.
Now, the handsome man is being supported by his two empresses to go back to rest, and his tense heartstrings can finally relax.
Blessed by our ancestors, truly blessed by our ancestors!
After Han Peng calmed down his mind, he immediately waved to the soldiers standing behind him.
"Old Wu, you immediately take a few brothers to help King Wu Yi, Butler Liu, and several brothers to the bottom of the city wall.
If necessary, send it directly to the palace."
"Yes, I have received my order from my humble position."
"Brothers, come with me."
"yes."
Han Peng breathed a sigh of relief, smiled lightly and raised his hand to hug the swaying Song Qing, Liu Song and others.
"Brother Song, brothers, please go back and rest early. See you later!"
Song Qing heard the sound and hummed twice completely out of instinct.
"See you later."
"King Wuyi, come on, let's go this way."
"Butler Liu."
"Generals."
"Come on, let's go this way too."
After the group of people had reached twenty or thirty steps away, Han Peng immediately withdrew his gaze and waved happily to the two remaining soldiers, Yu Shuo brothers and others.
"Brothers, let's go. We should go back to the tower on the south city wall as soon as possible."
"yes."
"We will obey."
Under the city wall.
After Qi Yun and Qing Lian helped Young Master Liu down from the stairs, who was almost unable to walk, they immediately walked straight to the carriage parked not far away.
The third princess, Qi Ya, Murong Shan, Yun Xiaoxi and the other sisters immediately quickened their pace and overtook Qi Yun and the others, intending to go to the carriage first to tidy up the cushions inside the carriage.
Several imperial guards who were guarding the carriage saw this scene and hurriedly rushed towards Young Master Liu, Qi Yun, and the third princess to greet them.
"Young ladies, young master, what is this?"
Qi Yun smiled lightly and replied softly: "Oh, my husband, eldest brother, Liu Song and the others had a great time drinking.
As a result, I accidentally drank too much."
"Yes, I understand, little one.
Young ladies, do you need me to help support the young master?"
"No, you go and get ready to drive."
"We will obey."
Several imperial guards bowed to Qi Yun, turned around and headed back towards the carriage not far away.
Sisters Qi Yun and Qinglian worked together to help Young Master Liu to the carriage, and immediately winked at the three princesses and sisters who had already boarded the carriage.
"Sir, there is a big step here. Let's walk up it slowly."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, okay."
Young Master Liu hummed softly twice, letting Qi Yun move his legs to step on the low stool, and then sat on the carriage again.
Upon seeing this, the third princess and sisters Wenren and Yunshu quickly stretched out their delicate hands and gently dragged Young Master Liu into the carriage, one from the left and the other from the right.
"Husband, we are here. Please sit down and rest for a while."
"Well, well, well, let's sit down and rest for a while."
Seeing that their husband had been dragged into the carriage by the two sisters, Qi Yun and Qing Lian both let out a long, slightly open breath.
"call."
"call."
When Qi Yun and Qing Lian saw each other exhaling, they immediately looked at each other and smiled.
"Grrrrrr, ugh, it got onto the carriage."
Listening to Qi Yun's slightly sad tone, Qinglian smiled softly and echoed: "Yes, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and stretch my wrists."
While the Qi Yun sisters were talking softly, Song Qing, Liu Song, and Du Yu were also helped down by Han Peng's soldiers.
Seeing this situation, Qi Yun casually adjusted her sleeves twice, then looked around at the good sisters around her with a smile.
"Sisters, we sisters should squeeze in a little, leaving some space for eldest brother and Liu Song to use the carriage."
"Hey, okay."
"Yeah, okay, okay."
"Su Nan, Guo Datong."
"The little one is here."
"Commander Song, I will leave Butler Liu and the others to you two brothers."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
Qi Yun nodded slightly and waved to a group of sisters with a smile.
"Sisters, let's get in the car."
The beauties smiled and nodded, then immediately raised their lotus feet and dispersed towards the carriages.
Soon.
Qi Yun, her sisters, and the little cutie all boarded the carriage.
"Let's go."
"yes."
"drive!"
"drive!"
Following the soft shouts of several imperial guards waving their riding whips, the carriage drove slowly towards the long street.
Eventually, it gradually merged into the endless flow of people.
Half a day later.
The carriage of Liu Mingzhi, Qi Yun, the Third Princess and their group met Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Hu Yanyu and more than 20 major generals who were riding on horseback on the long street.
Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chiezha and others saw the carriage in front of them, and each one of them gently reined in the horse's reins.
"Uu."
"Young Madam, we met Zhang Shuai, Nangong Shuai, and all the generals."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yun glanced sideways at Liu Mingzhi, who was half-lying on the pillow and sleeping soundly.
"Just give them a signal and ask them to continue rushing to the city gate to welcome the return of the Second Route Western Expedition Army."
"yes."
The Ouchi guard who was driving heard Qi Yun's instructions and quickly made several gestures to Zhang Kuang and the others who were about to get off their horses.
Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Yun Chong and the others saw the gestures made by the Ouchi guards and hurriedly stopped their movements as they were about to turn over and dismount.
In just a few breaths, several carriages gradually drove away under the watch of Zhang Kuang and other generals.
"Brothers, let's go and continue to the south gate."
"drive!"
"drive!"
When Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and his group arrived at the city wall.
On the endless official road outside the city, another ten fast horses galloped straight towards the royal city.
"Report!"
"Report! The army is less than twenty miles away from the royal city."
Hearing the shouts coming from outside the city, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chiezha and the others no longer bothered to chat with Han Peng and hurriedly walked towards the city wall.
"Report! The army is less than twenty miles away from the royal city."
Zhang Kuang withdrew his gaze and turned directly to look at Han Peng, who was standing a few steps away.
"Han Peng, immediately notify the brothers on duty outside the city gate to send the scout brothers to the city wall."
"yes."
Han Peng nodded and immediately leaned forward to look under the city wall.
"Brothers on duty at the city gate, send the little brothers to the city wall immediately."
"Yes, I have the order."
Zhang Kuang looked at Han Peng who had retracted his body, and immediately asked loudly: "Han Peng, where are His Majesty and His Highness King Wuyi?"
Hearing the arrogant question, Han Peng immediately gave him a fist.
"Coming back to the commander-in-chief, Your Majesty, King Wuyi, and Butler Liu are all drunk and have rushed back to the palace to rest."
After learning from Han Peng that Young Master Liu was drunk, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, and Yunchong all involuntarily frowned.
However, there was no look of surprise on their faces, as if they had known that such a situation would happen.
Nangong Ye and the others looked at each other and sighed in unison.
"Oh, it seems that it is exactly what we expected earlier."
"Brother Zhang, the same goes for you. Why do you insist on mentioning Liu Weng's matter to His Majesty?
If I really want to talk about it in detail, this matter is still your fault!"
"Brother Nangong, please stop talking, I'm almost regretting it now.
Before that, how could I have imagined that His Majesty didn’t know about this matter at all!
I just mentioned it in a hurry, who knew it would end up like this?"
"Okay, okay, brothers, it's too late to say anything now.
Besides, Brother Zhang made an unintentional mistake.
Now that things have happened, there is no point in dwelling on this issue anymore.
I hope your majesty will feel better after getting drunk."
"Oh, I hope so."
While several people were talking, a loud voice suddenly came from the stairs.
"Two marshals, generals, and brothers from the Second Route West Political Army are coming up."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Kuang and others immediately stopped talking and looked towards the stairs.
"You all come here..."
"yes."
Ten young scouts quickly arrived behind Zhang Kuang's group and immediately knelt down on one knee to salute.
"I'm waiting to see the two commanders."
"No more courtesy."
"No need to be polite, just get up."
"Thank you two handsome men."
Zhang Kuang turned around and looked outside the city, and then his eyes fell on Han Peng.
"Han Peng, which batch of scouts is this?"
"Come back to the commander, these ten little brothers are the second batch of scouts."
"Where's the announcement document about the return of Duan Dingbang's class teacher?"
"Go back to the commander-in-chief. Your Majesty has taken the notification document away."
"Have you read the contents of the notification document?"
"Go back to the commander-in-chief. The general has already seen it."
"That's good, that's good. You can tell us briefly about the contents of the notification document."
"Come back to Marshal, Marshal Duan is full of this in his notice..."
Han Peng quickly recounted the contents of the notification document to Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Yunchong, and Wanyan Chizha.
After Nangong Ye, Zhang Kuang and the others listened to Han Peng's story, they immediately looked at each other.
In an instant, these old foxes, big and small, all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"hiss."
Zhang Kuang took a breath and frowned slightly as he looked at Han Peng.
"When the main army returned, it only brought back more than 40,000 people, and 50,000 soldiers were directly stationed in Persia?"
"Go back to Marshal, that little Duan Dingbang... uh huh...
Cough, cough, cough, Marshal Duan said so in the notification document."
Zhang Kuang was silent for a while with a weird look on his face, then turned to look at Nangong Ye and others opposite him and couldn't help but sneer a few times.
"Ha ha ha ha ha.
The first time he led an army to go on an expedition, he dared to station a full 50,000 troops directly in another country's territory.
Damn it, Duan Dingbang is so damn courageous!
Hahaha, this really fits that sentence.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new generation is better than the old!"
Listening to the arrogant words, it was unclear whether they were sincerely praising Duan Dingbang or had other intentions. Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha, Yunchong and others all frowned slightly.
Nangong Ye raised his hand and stroked the gray beard on his chin, and let out a sigh of relief with a slightly complicated expression.
“Being courageous is indeed quite courageous.
However, while he is courageous, he is also a little reckless.
It was obviously to help other countries put down the rebellion, but in the end, 50,000 troops were stationed in this country.
Considering the current situation in all aspects of Western countries, if his behavior is even slightly deviated, it might be self-defeating!"
Wanyan Chizha heard Nangong Ye's worried tone and narrowed his old eyes slightly.
"From the current overall situation, just stationing troops and horses in other countries will not have much impact for the time being.
The most important point is how Duan Dingbang stationed his troops in Persia.
We had been in contact with this guy for some time before he led the army on the expedition.
After a period of dealing with him, we all have a clear idea of this guy’s abilities and character.
According to this boy's character, since he dared to station troops and horses in the Persian territory, he most likely found a reason to persuade the Persian king to come.
In this way, we don’t have anything to worry about.”
Listening to Wanyan Chiezha's analysis, everyone nodded subconsciously.
"Based on that boy's character, it should be like this."
After Zhang Kuang pondered for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly turned his head to look at Han Peng.
"Han Peng, Your Majesty, has he read the contents of the notification document?"
