Chu Yunfei smiled at Lan Ling and said, "Have you packed everything?"
Lan Ling nodded and said, "I've packed up. When are we leaving?"
Chu Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "Let's see how Uncle Ma and the others deal with it, and then we'll make a decision."
He smiled bitterly in his heart, wondering if he could still leave. After all, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty's messenger would be arriving soon. Even if he went out now, he might not be able to leave.
Or should he leave immediately and let Yang Jian's messenger chase him all over the Yangtze River?
He thought for a while and then put the thought out of his mind. This would definitely make Yang Jian more suspicious. Wouldn't it mean that there would be no three hundred taels of silver in this place?
Besides, can I keep hiding like this forever?
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei suddenly felt a surge of pride in his heart. Life is just a fleeting smoke. He has already died once. What else can he be dissatisfied with about this kind of thing? It's just a life-and-death fight with intrigues.
, you don’t believe I can lose to you?
After all, he is a special soldier of the 20th century. How could he be afraid of Yang Yong, a dandy prince?
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei simply let go of his arms and put all his worries and fears behind his mind. It's just a dead life. What else do I have to worry about?
At the moment, Chu Yunfei simply put all these things behind him and concentrated on waiting for Ma Shumou and other soldiers to gather the army and come to report.
Ma Shumou and other soldiers were all veterans and ruffians. They didn't wait long before they came over to report that the soldiers had been assembled and were waiting for Chu Yunfei's order to send out troops.
Chu Yunfei nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. It sounded like there were about ten people, obviously coming in the direction of Gaofu.
Chu Yunfei felt bright and knew that this must be Yang Jian's messenger.
Not long after, the visitor dismounted at the gate of Gaofu, and a high-pitched voice shouted: "The imperial edict has arrived, King Jin will receive it!"
Chu Yunfei had already prepared in his heart and was not surprised at the moment. He led the soldiers outside.
The guard opened the door, and a man dressed as a eunuch walked in first. He was one of a dozen guards with swords, and the group walked in proudly.
Chu Yunfei knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty Yang Guang accepts the order!"
A large number of the soldiers behind him fell to their knees.
The eunuch could only be heard shouting loudly: "The King of Jin, Yang Guang, will return to Chang'an immediately to meet the Holy Spirit without delay. Please do this!"
Chu Yunfei hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Guang, accepts the order and thanks the Lord for your kindness!"
With that said, he took the edict from the eunuch with both hands and placed it respectfully on the table.
After Chu Yunfei placed the imperial edict in his hand, he turned around and said to the eunuch: "Everyone has come a long way to work hard. Please take a rest first. When I pack up, I will return to Chang'an with you all."
The leading eunuch nodded and said, "No need to panic, Prince Jin. We can just wait for Prince Jin with peace of mind."
All the soldiers behind Chu Yunfei didn't know what was going on. Didn't they agree that Yang Guang would be the general manager of Yangzhou? Why did they turn around and recall him? The battle to quell Gao Zhizhi was only half over, and that was it.
Finished?
Lan Ling frowned and asked the father-in-law: "Eunuch Wang, what's going on with my father? You have successfully suppressed the bandits. Seeing that you have just seen results, why do you want to recall your brother to Chang'an City again?"
Lan Ling obviously knew this eunuch and had no scruples about what he said.
After hearing Lan Ling's words, Wang Gonggong couldn't help but hesitated and said: "Replying to the princess, our family is just ordered to pass on the decree. Why on earth should we recall Prince Jin, our family is not very clear."
Lan Ling frowned, knowing that the prince was just doing things impartially, and whether he knew the details or not, he would not tell him easily.
Chu Yunfei felt clear-headed. Of course, he didn't want to tell Lan Ling the reason. After hearing what Lan Ling said, he said, "Sister, it's probably not a big deal. I'll be back as soon as I go. Don't worry."
Lan Ling frowned and said, "No, I want to go back with you. General Lu, General Ma and the others are here. That's enough. The female soldiers and I will accompany you back."
Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "Sister, this is a bumpy road and it will take a long time to go back and forth. You still don't want to go?"
In his heart, he really didn't want Lan Ling to know that Yang Jian suspected that he was not Yang Guang. If this girl also became suspicious, and with all the flaws he showed when he first met Lan Ling, I'm afraid this girl would doubt him even more.
.
Lan Ling said stubbornly: "No, brother, I am not a weak woman. Isn't it possible to go back to Chang'an? I must go back with you."
Chu Yunfei knew that Lan Ling usually relied on his own opinions. Now once she made a decision, she would never change it. He could only nod. He knew that the reason why Lan Ling stubbornly wanted to accompany him back was actually because of concern.
Own.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "Okay, since you want to accompany me, it's time to ask the female soldiers to go back with us, and take Cui Changren and Wang Lu back with us."
After speaking, Chu Yunfei ordered the guards to watch tea and seats for the prince and the guards, and prepare meals.
He summoned Uncle Ma, Lu Guangda and other generals to discuss the military affairs, while the Liu sisters went to settle the affairs of the Women's Soldiers Association in Chang'an.
At present, Chu Yunfei and the generals had discussed it, and it was planned that Ma Shumou, Lu Guangda, Wei Yunqi and other generals would lead the Sui army to continue marching to Nanjing, chasing Gao Zhizhi's remaining defeated generals all the way, and be sure to completely defeat Gao Zhizhi.
The generals took orders one after another. Gao Zhizhi lost the general Wei Yunqi and lost most of his soldiers. The generals felt more confident. Even if Chu Yunfei was not there, the remaining Sui troops could easily beat the shit out of them.
.
At that moment, Chu Yunfei had settled in, and after a short wait, the Liu sisters gathered at the door with a group of women's soldiers, and had already escorted Wang Lu and Cui Changren over, waiting for Chu Yunfei, Lan Ling and his party.
At this time, Wang Gonggong and his party also finished their meal. Seeing that Chu Yunfei was ready, they set off for Chang'an City without much delay.
Before leaving, Chu Yunfei called Ma Shumou to the side privately and told him that nothing else was very important. The key was to go to Yangzhou City and take down all the minzhimin anointing that Cui Changren had looted, so that he could survive.
Save it, then the soldiers' food and salary will depend on it.
Uncle Ma nodded repeatedly. He had followed Chu Yunfei for a long time, and of course he knew what kind of figure his master was. He was confident that he would protect Cui Changren's property completely and wait for Prince Jin to return.
Chu Yunfei felt relieved and immediately led a group of female soldiers, escorting Cui Changren, Xin Fa and Wang Lu, and headed towards Chang'an in a mighty manner.
Nothing happened along the way, and we arrived at Chang'an City safely. However, Chu Yunfei led a group of red women's soldiers into Chang'an City in a mighty manner, which became a major sight in Chang'an City. After all, the soldiers and gangsters coming and going were all men.
Ding, this was the first time for the common people to see so many female soldiers. They couldn't help but watch from the sidelines. It was quite lively.
Arriving at the princess's residence in Lanling, the Liu sisters and Lanling arranged for the female soldiers to rest. Chu Yunfei went to see Li Yuan on his own, wanting to inquire about the situation from him first.
When Li Yuan saw him arriving, his expression looked normal. He stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "Congratulations to the King of Jin on his triumphant return after quelling the rebellion."
Chu Yunfei had been on the road for such a long time, and the news of his successful counterinsurgency had already spread to Chang'an City, so Li Yuan also knew about it.
Chu Yunfei smiled slightly and said: "Brother, why do you call me King Jin again? The two of us are brothers who have worshiped each other. Why haven't we seen each other for so many days, and the eldest brother is separated from his brother again?"
Li Yuan chuckled and said, "Look at my memory! Come on, come on, brother, it's been a hard journey, please take a seat inside."
With that said, he very attentively let Chu Yunfei into the back hall.
After the two guests and host were seated, Li Yuancai said: "Brother, I heard that you were killing thieves all the way in the south of the Yangtze River. The thieves were frightened and punished corrupt officials. The local people regarded the King of Jin as their parent official. I am a young hero. I am the elder brother.
It’s so glorious, my face is so bright!”
Chu Yunfei smiled slightly and said: "It's just that relying on the emperor's grace, wherever the soldiers went, the thieves and soldiers fled in the wind, and we were able to establish achievements. The soldiers killed the thieves with all their strength and took the lead bravely. I owe a lot! I just followed what happened.
, where is your ability?"
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Brother, you are being too modest. Of course, the soldiers tried their best to kill the thieves. If it weren't for your careful management, brother, you wouldn't have been able to achieve such a great victory."
The two were polite for a while, and Chu Yunfei said: "I have been busy with the war in Jiangnan these days, and I didn't even have time to ask how my son's condition is. However, Senior Zhou Long didn't send me any letters, so there shouldn't be any big problem. I guess
My son's condition has improved."
Li Yuan thanked him profusely: "It's all thanks to the blessing of my brothers that the people of the world can be cared for by Senior Zhou Long. Otherwise, given the child's physique, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago."
Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "Young Master is extraordinary and will surely become a great figure in the future. How could he die young?"
He thought to himself, this guy would be a famous Holy Lord in the Tang Dynasty in the future, how could he die so young?
Li Yuan only said that he was comforting him casually. How could such a small child be so majestic and majestic? The child was sent away less than a month after he was born. Even Li Yuan didn't even look at him. How could Chu Yunfei do that?
Can you tell how majestic it is?
But since Chu Yunfei said so, Li Yuan didn't know what to say. He just said a few words to cater to him. He changed the subject and said to Chu Yunfei: "I heard that someone is slandering the emperor and saying some nonsense. I don't know.
Brother, have you heard about it?"
Chu Yunfei secretly laughed in his heart, it was clearly this guy who sent someone to inform him, but now he asked like this, obviously it was not easy to ask directly.
Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "This time I went south to quell the thieves, and I defeated countless horse thieves along the way. Not only that, but the most important thing is that some corrupt officials were wiped out by my brothers. This will definitely touch some people.
Interests, some people have evil intentions and are jealous. They want to protect someone but don’t know how to take action, so it’s not surprising that they create some rumors to confuse the public.”
