Chapter 975： 282 Returns

The short three days passed quickly, and finally it was the day when Xiao Yijin king dedicated his captives.

This morning, Wangdu was very lively. People were coming and going in the streets and alleys. The son of King Zhennan, Xiao Yi defeated Nan Man, and captured the King Nan Man. The news that he would go to Wang Du today to capture prisoners has spread throughout the capital.

The day is not yet full, and a group of people out of the city to welcome Xiao Yi back to the capital have waited outside the Sanliting Pavilion outside the capital. The five princes are led by the emperor's orders to wait here. Thinking of the meaning of this dedication, everyone's waist is straight.

Nan Gongxin took the initiative to accompany the five princes to greet Xiao Yi. He already looked through Qiushui, knowing that Xiao Yi was almost half an hour away from here, but still couldn't help stretching his neck and looking at the south.

I don't know how long it has passed. He didn't wait for Xiao Yi, but he waited for the original Ling Bai.

"Fortunately, I'm not late." Yuan Lingbai wiped his sweat off the horse immediately.

Nangong Xin blinked in surprise, "Little Bai, I thought you couldn't come today."

Originally, Bai had rushed all the way, lest he was late, and now he was finally relieved, and said, "Big brother and little crane son returned triumphantly, how can I not come to admire their heroic appearance!" He rejoiced in his tone. , With a hint of envy. Xiao Hezi is fine this time. He went to southern Xinjiang with his elder brother and saw him for a while.

The original Ling Baizheng felt a little depressed, and one of the Imperial Guards who went to investigate returned from the horse and shouted, "Coming soon! Coming soon! Shi Ziye's men and horses are less than five miles away from here!"

Hearing that all the people waiting around Sanliting were refreshed and followed Nangong Xin to look south.

Time passed by little by little, and in the eyes of a pair of anticipation, a thousand-man team appeared on the horizon of the south, bathed in the sunlight of the early days, as if they were plated with a layer of gold. In the army, several wooden prison cars were particularly eye-catching, and in each prison car were several dark-skinned and ragged southern barbs.

"It's brother! ... and little crane!" Yuan Lingbai exclaimed in surprise, jumped onto the horse, and then pinched the horse's belly, rushing towards Xiao Yi and them.

After a while, Xiao Yi and his party finally came to Sanliting. Xiao Yi, Fu Yunhe, Qian Moyang and others hurried off the horse, strode forward, and bowed to the five princes: "Have seen His Royal Highness Five!" After a few days The rest of their lives, they are already well-groomed, everyone seems to be energetic and radiant.

"Brother Yi, cousin He, you are finally back." The five princes came forward with a smile and hugged fistfully. "This palace came to you in triumph by the order of the father and emperor."

If elder sister-in-law and aunt grandmother saw Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe return safely, I do n’t know how happy they would be. If they were to take captives at noon today, the five princes would like to bring them together.

However, it would be nice if people came back, and they were not in a hurry.

The five princes were settled, and the corners of their mouths were slightly hooked.

To be honest, Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe were a little surprised that the person who greeted them was the five princes. The two exchanged a look. It seems that during their absence, the emperor obviously paid more and more attention to the five princes. Already.

However, this is not a bad thing.

Although there were a lot of things in the hearts of several people, today is an important day to capture the emperor's Wumen. The time is coming, and there is no time to delay. A group of people immediately set foot on the return to the capital of the king. Return journey ...

At the same time, the people in Wangdu are looking forward to it.

As Fu Yunyan said before, the main street of Wangdu ’s Nanchengmen leading to the imperial palace was cleared early in the morning by the imperial army wearing black armor, and the imperial army on both sides of the street was ten steps away. Qi seemed to say, the idler flickered away.

Today, if you want to watch the king of the south of the town escorting Nanban prisoners into the city, you can only obediently crowd behind the warning line set by the Royal Forest Army. Even so, the road is still full of people who come to watch. At first glance, this one The street was crowded with people, and even the needles could hardly be inserted.

This slightly more affluent person simply opened up another shortcut and entered the teahouses or restaurants on either side of the street, waiting for them, so that the genius was bright, and the shops on both sides of the South Street were already overcrowded.

Nangong Yu and Fu Yunyan had foresight. They arrived early in the morning to the tea restaurant they had scheduled three days ago, accompanied by Bai Hui and Lily.

Fu Yunyan showed Xiao Er the wooden sign for the reserved seat, but did not want the second to be cheeky: "Sorry, a few guest officials, there are more guests in the tea house today, and you have to be wronged to share the seat with other guests He's very polite, but his demeanor reveals a touch of pride, as if to say: Anyway, there are many guests today, you can't come!

Fu Yunyan frowned, although the way of the tea house is not incomprehensible, but they made a reservation three days in advance. This business must pay attention to integrity, how can you sell it like this!

Nangong Yu was also unhappy in her heart, but today, when Xiao Yi returned home, she really didn't want to lose her interest for this little thing. Fortunately, today she and Fu Yunyan changed their men's clothing for the sake of sharing and shared an elegant seat with others.

Nangong pulled Lao Yunyan's hand and signaled with his eyes: forget it.

Fu Yunyan didn't want to delay their plan today, so she could only hold back a sigh of relief, her lips narrowed into a straight line.

Lily won Nangong's wink, so he stepped forward and said, "Then please ask Brother Er to take our son to the seat."

Hearing that Xiao Er smiled enthusiastically, and reached out to ask: "No problem, please invite a few grandfathers to come with the younger!" He walked in the front and walked up the stairs briskly. Nangong asked them to follow Go up.

This tea house was originally located in Qingya. On the second and third floors of the weekdays, the elegant seats were particularly secluded and quiet, but today it is different. Only when they went up the stairs, they heard a noise.

Xiao Er introduced them to the second seat on the second floor, where they had come before. Last time, there was only one table and several chairs in this seat, but today it is not too crowded. One table, two tables near the window, and the other two tables against the wall. This shabby approach seems to be like an elegant tea house, but rather a stall on the street that has heard books.

At this moment, all three tables have guests, and only one by the window.

When Nangong asked them to enter the house, they were quiet for a moment, and looked at them, and then they chatted about themselves.

Xiao Er led them to the table next to the window, and said charmingly: "Some guest officials please sit down, you are pre-ordered seats, so Xiao specially left you a window seat."

Lily was a little speechless for a while, but the second child talked, and gave the reserved seat to others, and now I'm so grateful to have the credit.

Nangong Yan and Fu Yunyan sat face to face across the table and listened to the young scholar at the next table saying, "It's halfway through the time, so let's count the time ... the king of the south of the town is coming."

The middle-aged scholar opposite him said with some excitement: "Since the official general has gone, it has been a long time since I went to such a lively victory! This Xiao Shizi is indeed a goalkeeper! Unfortunately, I ’m waiting for the white body It ’s a shame not to be able to watch the Wumen Consecration! "

An old man at the other table couldn't help but interject: "The old man heard that today is His Royal Highness Five, who was ordered by the emperor to go to Sanliting to meet Xiao Shizi. The old man has lived to this age and has not seen the distinguished prince. Take a closer look here, this life is worth it! "

"His Royal Highness Five came from the queen, the emperor's sister-in-law! Maybe it is the future crown prince!"

"It seems that the Emperor really attaches great importance to this time at the Noon Gate!"

"..."

People at the other tables around me also sneered, and suddenly, a middle-aged businessperson said, "Have you ever heard of the Nanban Virgin?"

"What savage Nanban?" The others looked at each other. Most of the people here were Wangdu people. The impression of Nanban was, in the final analysis, just a word of mouth or an accident in history books and geography. No one knows what kind of place Nannan is, nor is it about the composition and folk customs of Nanman.

The middle-aged merchant was a little proud, and said, "I have been to Nanjiang several times before, and I still know a little about Nanman ..." He talked about the rumors of the Nanman saintly and emphasized her. What a strange and unusual woman. Finally, the key point was revealed mysteriously, "I heard that this time, the South Savage Maiden will also go to the capital together with Zhennan Wang Shizi!"

The last sentence caused a commotion in this little seat, and everyone's eyes bloomed. The young scholar couldn't help but ask: "What kind of maiden did the Nanban King send over ... what does it mean?"

"I don't understand yet!" The middle-aged scholar glanced at his companion with a scornful expression, with a meaningful expression, as if to say: It's a man, he knows it!

The young scholar stunned and said, "The son of the south king of this town is really a blessing!"

"That's natural. Different lives!" Said the middle-aged merchant, who was also a little bit sour. "The southern maiden is a little bit amazing ..."

"You guys say enough!" Fu Yunyan finally couldn't bear it and smashed the cup in the table heavily, making a "snap" sound, "The king of the south of the town, Shizizi, fought desperately and repelled Nanban, but you people are like The tongue-in-law has a wild speculation behind her back. She is ashamed and shameless! "

As a result, Fu Yunyan glanced at the opposite Nangong Aunt with a worry, lest she was disappointed by these people. I did not expect that Nangong Aunt's face had no trace of mustard, only with a relaxed and happy smile, and said, "Today's great joy No need to be angry about these trivial matters. "

These market rumors are often just one point true and nine points exaggerated, so she won't be stupid enough to be suspicious of such rumors. Moreover, she believed in Xiao Yi.

Fu Yunyan also calmed down, and said, "Yes, I have my third brother Fu Yunhe watching, Xiao Yi should not have such a big dog gall!"

The middle-aged merchant saw that Fu Yunyan and Nangong Yan were just two hairless teenagers who were 13 or 4 years old, but they talked to him like this elder, and could not help but feel a little embarrassed and angry, and yelled thickly: "We say our, What matters to you? You can plug your ears if you can't listen! "

The young scholar aside was also displeased, and said badly: "This little brother, we said that we did not mess with you, you would scold any long tongue woman, too ..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise coming out of the window. Soon, excited shouts came in one after another: "Here! It is His Royal Highness Five Princes and King Shinan of Zhennan here!"

"Look, people are outside the gate."

"Is that His Royal Highness Five?"

"..."

The people outside the teahouse were so full of enthusiasm that everyone in the elegant seat immediately forgot about the puppet just now. They could not wait to flock to the window, stretched their necks and looked in the direction of the city gate.

At this moment, the two sides of the South Street facing the city gate were boiling like boiling hot water. The people who had been waiting there for a long time were all emotional and anxiously waiting. If there were no Royal Army to maintain order below, those people would be afraid. It has been enclosed to the gate.

At the forefront were a young man and a teenager who each rode a tall horse and crossed the city gate side by side. Following them were more horsemen and officials' carriages. After that, they all wore one by one. The soldiers in the black armor, majestic and arrogant, lined up in neat squads. Seeing that they were neatly step by step and looked cool, they all obviously went to the battlefield and saw blood on their hands. These soldiers were just marching in this way, it made people feel shocked, and even those in the teahouse's elegant seat were in full respect.

In the end, their eyes fell on the teenagers and youths in front of them. When they saw that the teenager was wearing the queen robe, he knew that he must be His Royal Highness Five, and the youth beside him was wearing silver armor. Tall and long, with a bronze sword hanging from the waist, behind it is a silver-white cloak fluttering in the breeze in the breeze. Under the warm sunlight of the early spring, he seems to be shining with silver light, as if the **** of war came to earth, handsome , Sacred and noble, make people almost afraid to look at him.

"This ... this is the son of the king of Zhennan!" In the seat, sighing without knowing who it was.

Everyone was watching Xiao Yi, but Fu Yunyan was looking at Fu Yunhe behind Xiao Yi, his mouth could not help but whispered, "It seems that the third brother has no missing arms and legs, very good!"

She just murmured softly, but the young scholar next to her had very sharp ears, and after stunned, she asked, "This little brother, your elder brother also went to the southern battlefield with Xiao Shizi?"

The scholar's words attracted everyone's attention to Fu Yunyan, and a ray of respect emerged in his eyes.

No wonder this little brother just seemed so outraged at the discussion of Xiao Shizi behind them. Presumably his elder brother entered the battlefield with Xiao Shizi, so he felt a little bit empathetic.

Although the middle-aged businessmen have always been brazen and thick-skinned, they are also a little embarrassed at this moment. They embarrassed Fu Yunyan: "Little brother, I'm just talking nonsense, please don't take my heart."

Fu Yunyan was originally worried about Nangong Yan, otherwise she would not bother to talk to these strangers who knew the long way and short way. Now that the other party has apologized, she will wave her hands out and not care about the other party.

The middle-aged merchant was relieved, and couldn't help but looked towards Xiao Yi outside the window and said, "I've heard that King Zhennan's son is a tough man. He's an unsuitable 'Second Son.' ... It doesn't look like today! "The middle-aged businessmen have seen a little bit of the world. They walked south and north to meet all kinds of people. This person's temperament can't deceive people. The king of the south of the town saw the dragon and phoenix among the people.

"I remember Xiao Shizi is married. With Xiao Shizi's appearance, I don't know who deserves it ..." The young scholar stared at Xiao Yi below, sighing intricately. This is really person-to-person, irritating, and some people are born with good looks and good looks, and then have the ability to wonder whether they should be envious or jealous.

While the scholar was talking, Fu Yunyan gave a glance at Nangong with a smile. This is because the grandma is pretty, otherwise the emperor's marriage is really a blessing! It's still her Axin, who looks just right!

Nangong Yan didn't care about Fu Yunyan's ridiculous eyes, nor did he care what other people said. At this moment, her outside hustle and bustle had left her, only Xiao Yi in her eyes.

She stared at him embarrassedly. Although she had seen Xiao Yi a few days ago and knew that he was all right, but at this moment he watched him enter the city in the cheers of the people, and looked at his vigorous appearance ... her The corners of his mouth could not help but swell in his heart: Ai really returned!

Suddenly, Xiao Yi, who was running slowly underneath, seemed to feel something. Turning his head to look at the second floor of the tea house, when the four eyes were opposite, the coldness on Xiao Yi's face faded, and the smile quickly bloomed on his face. Vigorous, make people feel like spring.

He raised his right hand and waved strongly to Nangong Yan, his lips moved slightly, and said silently: "Smelly girl, I'm back!"

Nangong Ai couldn't help laughing more openly, and was about to wave his hand. He listened to a silly voice beside him and said, "Look, Shizi is waving with me!"

"No, just follow me!"

"it's me!"

"..."

Not only a few people in the elegant seat, but also the people in the restaurant next to it, and the people outside the streets were agitated by Xiao Yi's waving gesture. The atmosphere at the gate of the city reached a climax again, and everyone enthusiastically waved. He closed his hands and smiled.

Until Xiao Yi's team went away, the atmosphere here had not cooled down.

Several people in the saloon returned to their seats, and the middle-aged scholar said with emotion: "This rumor is indeed unbelievable! I think this Xiao Shizi is really a young hero!"

"That's right!" The old man nodded his head and echoed, "I think the grandfather of the world is just a martial art star in the sky!"

The young scholar suddenly looked at Fu Yunyan and said, "This brother, since your elder brother has followed Xiao Shizi to fight, presumably you have a little understanding of Xiao Shizi, can you tell us ..."

Fu Yunyan's eyeballs twitched and got excited, and they talked to them about the Zhennan Royal Mansion, and Lily also added a few words from time to time ... I heard everyone's hearts expressing this "after The mother-in-law's rough reason is the same even if she arrives in the grand palace of the prince, and some people sigh. I heard that the princess of Zhennan seized the step-children's property. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. Ah!

When Nangong Yi returned to God, he saw a group of people sympathizing and admiring Xiao Yi, and he quickly described him as an inspirational example-Dad doesn't hurt his mother and love, but he hasn't walked crazily and worked hard. up!

Nan Gongxi was originally lost because she could no longer see Xiao Yiyuan's back, but now she is gone. She looked at Fu Yunyan and Lily with a smile and said that she was full of happiness. Several people left to come to the teahouse.

After leaving the tea house, Fu Yunyan parted ways with Nangong Yu. She went back to Yongchang Grand Princess Palace alone. The Fu family was also waiting for the news of Fu Yunhe. She had to return to the house and talk to them.

Nangong Yu also hurried back to Zhennan's palace. Before Xiao Yi returned to her house, she still had a lot of preparations to do ... Counting time, Xiao Yi would go to Wu Men to capture prisoners, and then the emperor would definitely recruit him. When entering the palace and questioning, she estimated that when Xiao Yi came out of the palace, I was afraid that at least it would be over, and time would still be relatively generous.

It wasn't just Nangong Yan who left, other people watching the bustling near the gate of the city gradually dispersed, and there was still something in mind.

The play at Nanchengmen came to an end, but for Xiao Yi, today's capture ceremony has just begun.

Go straight from Nanchengmen along Nandajie. At the end of the road is the main entrance of the palace. After passing the gate, the Royal Forest on both sides of the Royal Road becomes more dense. Each step is solemn and solemn, extending to Before noon.

On the large Wumen Square, the ministers and civil servants dressed in court clothes had already been arranged in shifts as they did in the early morning. The gate of the Wumen City Tower has been set up, with a yellow cover under the eaves, and the halogen book is located under the Wumen City Tower, all the way to the end gate.

The sun was getting higher and higher. Suddenly, the golden bell chanted on the noon gate, followed by the golden drums and chanting songs, and all the officials knelt down in the direction of the noon gate and shouted long live.

After a while, the emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was surrounded by many housekeepers and guards, and appeared on the tall Wumen tower like a star-gong and raised his throne.

The emperor sat on the high throne, looking down at the hundred officials kneeling down and bowing his head.

The emperor raised his hand, and the music stopped, and the ministers and civil servants stood up.

Followed the attendant of the Ministry of Rites and shouted, "Consecrate!"

Although his voice was high and loud, but Wumen Square was so big this time, his voice fell like a small stone into the sea, and he couldn't shake a wave at all, but at the same time as he spoke, the nearest Forest Guard would follow Zhizhi shouted, "Consecrate!"

One pass two, two pass four, four pass eight ... from Wumen to Duanmen and then to Gongmen, all the way through the past, and in the end, hundreds of Yulin Army shouted in unison: "Dedicate prisoners!"

The sounds overlapped, such as the sound of a thunder, and a magnificent momentum, almost ringing through the sky.

Followed by another masterpiece of drum music, the salute roared.

A young man in silver-white armor walked forward with his chest struggling under hundreds of scorching eyes, clearly being the son of King Zhennan, Xiao Yi. Behind him, a young man wearing a white prison uniform and a white rope was escorted by 16 tall soldiers and walked into Wumen Square.

At the bottom of the Wumen Tower, Xiao Yi knelt on one knee and saluted the emperor with his fists: "The emperor, the emperor, settled the southern Xinjiang, and captured the South Man, the great prince, Ku Lang, as a prisoner.

While he was kneeling, Kui Lang in prison uniform was also forced to kneel by the Dayu soldiers behind him, and humbled to the ground-since ancient times, the winner has become the king and defeated the pirate.

The Emperor looked at Xiao Yi with a smile and a long heart with a smile. Imagine that today's scene will be recorded in history.

The emperor commanded: "Transfer prisoners of war to the Ministry of Justice and Li Fan Yuan to discuss the matter together!"

After the emperor's decree, Kui Lang was again forced to worship the emperor.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Justice Shang Shu ordered several officers of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to take over Kui Lang from Xiao Yi's soldiers and accompany him.

In addition to Kui Lang, there was another Gannan surrendered to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

In the end, the civil and military officials once again gave the emperor three knees and nine concubines, and congratulated the emperor. Until then, the dedication ceremony was truly over.

Everyone else could disperse, only Xiao Yi was called by the emperor to the Royal Study Room.

The emperor kindly gave him a seat and ordered tea, as if the gossip was commonplace and asked about the southern Xinjiang.

Xiao Yi was also very polite, eating snacks and using tea, and said in his mouth: "... Uncle Emperor, you do n’t know, the southern barbarians have provoked resentment in the southern Xinjiang, and the people all angered each other. I knew you sent me Going back to fight against the Nanman, I am grateful for it. People are attacking in a crowd, and this battle may not be won. "

The emperor listened comfortably, and his beard smiled even more.

Xiao Yi continued: "When the nephew left, those people from southern Xinjiang sent them by the side of the road and asked the nephew to bring you an umbrella for the people. I want to give it to you."

"Manmin Umbrella?" Said the Emperor with his eyes lit up, and said with interest, "Where is this Manmin Umbrella? Let me see."

"The nephew let the little sister-in-law hug him all the way, and he didn't dare to let go in one step .... Gonggong Liu, bother you to get it."

Liu Gonggong knew that the emperor was in a good mood, and responded with a smile: "The slaves have never seen the umbrella of the peoples, and the blessing of the emperor, this time, the slaves can open their eyes."

The emperor laughed and waved to let the father-in-law go.

Speaking of which, the emperor also only heard of the Wanmin Umbrella in the play. It is said that only the honest and clean Daqing officials would leave the Wanmin Umbrella spontaneously when they left office. Unexpectedly, I could receive it one day, which is really the mind of the people.

The emperor waited cheerfully. After a while, the father-in-law Liu came in with a mulberry umbrella. The emperor busied him to open it, and saw that the umbrella was lined with small silk ribbons. They are all written with a name and "May the King live forever." The countless silk strips are all full of mulberry umbrellas, not to mention, almost all of them overlapped. Some of the words above are right, some are skewed, each one has a different handwriting, and it is not fake at first glance.

The emperor was very satisfied, and the smile on his face grew more and more. He looked down at the silk with interest, and suddenly looked up and said, "Ayi, is this?" He was holding a silk In addition to the name on this silk strip, there is also a red fingerprint. If you look closely, there are quite a few silk strips similar to this.

Xiao Yi explained with a smile: "Many people are illiterate, but they also want to express their gratitude to the emperor, uncle, so they went to a teacher, wrote a silk strip, and pressed themselves. Fingerprints. "

"So it is ..."

The emperor looked at the simple names of "Li Ergou", "Chen Dazhuang", "Zhang Ada", and so on, and was very moved. What touched him even more was Xiao Yi. Even if he was far away in southern Xinjiang, Xiao Yi did not forget himself ... The emperor knew very well that if it was not for Xiao Yi ’s deliberate preaching, how could the people far away in southern Xinjiang know their wise decision .

The Zhennan Royal Mansion is the prince of the princes. If they were bystanders, they would have attributed the credit to their own, and the people's minds have been gathered. Only Xiao Yi would be so sincere.

"Ai, you worked hard this time ..." the emperor looked at him lovingly and said, "have a good rest in the house for a few days, and I will send you an errand."

Xiao Yi grinned and said with an inch: "Uncle Emperor, let your nephew take a long vacation! Nephew hasn't seen his wife for a long time!"

The emperor answered quickly, "Then let you take a month off, that's enough!"

Xiao Yi thanked En with joy, and then turned to the topic, saying: "Uncle Emperor, this time my nephew came back and brought back the Nanban's envoy, and they said they had come to peace."

The emperor frowned. "Envoy?" He didn't seem to see any envoy, "Where is the envoy?"

"It's with Kuilangguan. It seems that there is a woman who is locked in another prison car and has just been transferred to the Criminal Department .... It should be in the prison of the Criminal Department now."

The emperor was dumbfounded and thought: Xiao Yi seems to have grown a lot during this trip to southern Xinjiang, but it is still unreliable! How can there be a prisoner in a prisoner ...
