Chapter 163: The backbone
Hu Renxu hurriedly said: "Master, because the war in the south is tight, Your Highness came along the water road this time and just passed Dongting two days ago! We had to enter the city from the east gate first and set up checkpoints around Your Highness's residence..."
Li Yuanben frowned and felt something was strange. At this time, he heard that King Zheng had not yet entered the city, but he breathed a sigh of relief. He saw the imperial guards mobilizing so many troops to set up guards around the government office. He thought that Li Congjia was in the mansion... Fortunately, he had to come back in time.
Then Li Yuan shook his head and smiled without comment: "Your Highness's residence? Why, judging by your situation, Your Highness is going to move into my Jiedu Office? Is this also the rule of the court? The Jiedu Office wants to welcome the distinguished guests, but I, the Jiedu Office, have no idea at all?"
Suddenly, he found that Li Yuan's eyes were chilling. Hu Ren continued to swallow his saliva, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. He wanted to break his head and finally squeezed out: "Master, the court naturally has no such rules. This is what Your Highness means..."
In fact, the answer was obvious. Li Yuan was thinking at this time. The imperial guards in front of him were driven by others and could not tell the truth. At this time, he waved his hand and said coldly: "I am a small temple here. Your Highness Zheng is so noble. I am afraid that my identity will be reduced! As soon as you listen, you immediately lined up to the East City Gate to wait. After I handled all my tasks, I will arrange your highness's residence well!"
Unable to allow the imperial guards to react, Li Yuan shouted loudly and rushed out first. Then Xu Kuangheng led the guards forward to remove the wooden railings on the street, allowing generals Zou and Hu Er to stare at each other. Then he saw the Wuping civil and military teams roaring by, and could only swallow the depression in his heart and gather the surrounding soldiers to head towards the east gate.
Li Yuan jumped off his horse in front of the door, turned around and looked at Xu Kuangheng, and said in disguise: "The King of Zheng came to work hard. Why did I not know about such a big deal? Langzhou City is my Wuping Prefecture and the foundation of my foothold. Why did I let the imperial guards of the court openly place them in front of my own gate? Sir, these officials are all recruited by you. How can I not use the general to remind me?"
Xu Kuangheng was stunned for a moment. He was about to bow his hand to reply but was trembling by Li Yuan's sharp eyes. He had been following the general for half a year. At this time, he understood and was even more at ease. He nodded and responded in panic: "Master, I am not sure about people! I am guilty of my subordinates! Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly..."

Li Yuan did not take the opportunity to ease his expression as before, but always looked stern and added coldly: "Who is the guard on duty at the East Gate today? I will kill me first!"
Then he led his personal guards to the door of the mansion and rushed into the hall, leaving only Xu Kuangheng, who was trembling in his heart and a group of trembling officials.
More than ten maids and servants who were busy in the backyard saw Li Yuan running by, and shouted in surprise: "The Grand Marshal is back! The Grand Marshal is back!"
Wang Jingguo, who was playing with his short sword in his hand, turned around and saw Li Yuan stalking in the courtyard corridor. A large group of guards followed him, and shouted excitedly, threw the short sword in his hand and rushed to meet him.
"Big, handsome! You are back! We all miss you! Huh? Where is Brother Jiang Sheng? Why didn't you see..."
After all, Li Yuan's heart was warm, and his frown was stretched out at the same time. He smiled gently and pinched the young man's tender face, and teased: "Hey! You ungrateful boy, you don't like to talk too much on weekdays. Today, I thought the sun was coming out from the west. I was talking about Jiang Sheng?!"
Wang Jingguo, who was sweating white, smiled shyly at this time, then raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and said cheerfully: "Haha, not! Brother Jiang Sheng and I are both my good brothers! I am thinking about it..."
"Do you think I can believe it? Haha, are you practicing swords? But how can you use such a short sword body? This thing can hurt people, but it's okay to repair flowers and plants."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jingguo's face turned red and he muttered a few words as if he was dissatisfied, but he secretly hid the dagger behind him. Seeing this, the maids around him covered their mouths and laughed.
The originally quiet backyard was suddenly filled with cheerful laughter from everyone, like a magic trick. In the yard, which was slightly lonely the moment before, more than a dozen figures soon surged out.
Wang Jingyao and Peng Qingying, who were busy with housework in the hall, led several maids to rush out first. Immediately after a sensation of collision between doors and windows, Zhou Ehuang ignored his past dignity, bit his red lips and picked up his skirt and rushed out of the room eagerly. He jumped over from afar and pounced on Li Yuan's arms.
"Mr.!Mr.! You are back..." Zhou Ehuang cried with joy, and whispered softly on Li Yuan's neck with both hands tightly hooked his hands.
As if a veil was brushed by her heart, Li Yuan's uneasy mind finally calmed down at the moment of seeing Zhou Ehuang. At this moment, he was moved to the depths. After all, this real sense of tranquility was only thoroughly understood by the body temperature of the closest loved one. He held her waist tightly without hesitation, nodded and said softly: "Madam! I miss you so crazy..."
The sweet scene of a long separation is better than a newlywed wedding lasts for a long time, and no one is willing to bother the young couple who hugged each other. It was not until Liu staggered out with the help of a group of maids that he kindly reminded: "Brother Yuan, don't hug Ehuang too tightly, I'm afraid your wife will be holding her breath!"
Li Yuan smiled, then reluctantly let go and saluted to Liu respectfully. Zhou Ehuang's cheeks were also fluttering red. After saluting Liu coquettishly, he took his husband's arm and walked into the hall. Seeing that everyone in the family was fine, Li Yuan was very excited. After all, he went back to Langzhou first. In addition to worrying about military affairs, he was also worried about his relatives. There was another episode in front of the office just now, and now he was finally relieved.
In the main hall, Wang Jingyao and Peng Qingying seemed to have become good sisters during this period, and they kept talking and laughing in front of Li Yuan, which was obviously beyond Li Yuan's expectations. Although they didn't know Peng Qingying, the battle report had already been heard in the past few days. I believe this girl would be happy naturally when she won a victory in Xizhou. However, Wang Jingyao has always been quiet and said little. For some reason, she only separated for one month, but her personality changed so much. Is it really a matter of fate that these two girls are rare to speculate?
Zhou Ehuang was close to Li Yuan, turning his head and smiling, looking at Li Yuan's face with a tender look without saying anything, which made Li Yuan feel restless. He couldn't help but pull the jade hands and put them on his knees, and smiled and said, "Why did you keep staring at me? It's just one month after separation. Could it be that I have become ugly? Alas, there is no way to become ugly. You still have to give birth to a big fat boy for me..."
Li Yuan's loud voice made everyone laugh. Zhou Ehuang was naturally embarrassed. As soon as he pursed his red lips, he wanted to raise his hand to beat him. Li Yuan pretended to be innocent. While the two of them were having fun, he blew a few breaths on the beauty's slender neck, which made the whiteness suddenly blush.
