Expedition was really too tired, and at the same time, the hyacinth brought warmth to others, as well as a sealed space and security. This allowed everyone to comfortably sleep for a long time.

Even the second kick-step signal detonator stopped at three in the morning and everyone fell into a deep sleep.

When Guan Lu and Duo Luo rubbed their eyes and saw the light coming out from the cracks in the snow bricks, they knew that it was already morning.

The thick layer of snow at the mouth of the hyacinth was pushed aside. The vast expanse of snow reflected the sunlight so that he couldn't open his eyes, but when Guan Lu regained his vision, he suddenly shouted loudly. "Quick, look …"

This shout was loud, waking up the Expedition staff members of more than ten hyacinth s, and even woke up the war horses who were trying to warm themselves and avoid the wind and snow. Those horses shook off the snow on their bodies, and subconsciously turned their heads towards the south.

Even the animals were intelligent. Among them, a few sturdy horses started to cry out.

Guan Lu came out of the hyacinth's mouth and jumped around while cheering on the snow plains, "This place … Here... Someone is coming from the south... "Everyone, come out and take a look …"

A long black line appeared on the snowy plains in the south. Through the telescope, they could make out that it was a cavalry unit that was wearing the Xiang Army's clothing, and they were all wearing fur coats as they struggled to get closer to the camp.

"Smoke signal... Shoot... Message... "He's the marshal's cavalry leader."

The members were so excited that their faces were full of tears. They pulled out their rifles and fired into the sky. The gunshots alerted the mounted soldiers who were several miles away. At that moment, they had clearly increased their speed.

Gordon was so excited that his eyes were even turning red, "God bless, finally seeing a familiar army … "That's my comrade from when I was fighting in Jiangnan …"

Samuel. Baker and the Expedition led by Gordon landed on the northern border of Afghanistan, went around the Yili and the northern border, went through the uninhabited region of Mongolia, and finally went down the Horseshoe on winter nights.

The total trek was close to 5000 km! On this journey of ten thousand kilometers, the Expedition had sacrificed more than thirty lives.

The cavalry from the south started to shout, "Is it the Expedition? Is it the Expedition sent by the His Majesty … "

"That's right …" That's us... F * ck, we've walked more than 10,000 miles … Wu wu wu … "We've finally reached the safe haven of the city …"

's vanguard cavalry soldiers split into two, one sending a letter to the south, and the other met with the Expedition.

When Liu Jintang's cavalry saw these members who were stepping on ice and lying in snow, and tormented to the point that they did not look human, they all became stern. What a man! "Good man …"

"Get the rear plow over here..." Take a good man to Guazhou City! "The marshal has been waiting for you for too long …"

"How did you find us?"

"Aiyo, don't mention it. I've been looking for you for half a month …" "We patrol this generation every day, that's why we saw the signal from the fireworks last night …"

"But the night wind is too cold. It's too dangerous. I can only come out in the morning to pick you all up …" "Luckily you guys dug up hyacinth s. There must have been hundreds of frozen corpses outside Guazhou City last night …"

"Walk, walk …" He quickly tidied up the camp, packed up his stuff, and climbed up the plow … "You can lie down and rest for a while …"

As expected, a large group of people came from the Guizhou at around 9 in the morning. The group was led by Zuo Zongtang's trusted subordinate,.

When the senior officials appeared, Guan Lu and Duo Luo did not dare to delay and quickly rely on the north side. "Are these people the western conquest commander, Liu Jintang? This is His Majesty's dictum! "

Once Liu Jintang heard the dictum, he quickly kneeled on the snow and said, "Long live, long live, long live, Long live Liu Jintang!"

"Quickly move the incense case, is there a incense burner?" Liu Jintang's janissaries quickly took control of them.

Duo Luo raised his hand and said, "There's no need. His Majesty's dictum is without an imperial edict …"

"His Majesty said that the western troops have worked hard and have great achievements. We are very concerned about that, but we are not in a position where we can overstep our authority and bestow upon you the titles of nobility … They had specially sent messengers to bestow rewards to Liu Jintang, Xu Zhanbiao and the others … "Two eyes, a flowery plume, a yellow vest …"

"Reward Zuo Zongtang... Three Eyed Flower Plume! "

"AHH!" The soldiers who were kneeling on the ground immediately took in a breath of cold air. Qing Dynasty had been giving out rewards to military officials for over two hundred years, but the Three-eyed Flower Feathers were very little.

This was a great honor! Since Tongzhi did not have his own authority, and the title and title could not be bestowed, he could only use his reputation to win over the hearts of the people.

However, this was all officials could do. This kind of honor was a political symbol, an absolute glory in the eyes of the public!

Liu Jintang was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. Your subject kowtows to Xie Tianshu! "

Duo Luo and Guan Lu had already announced their decree, and the next thing to do was to lower themselves to the higher ups. The two of them looked at each other and supported Liu Jintang up.

"General …" This official has already declared his decree, now it's time for us to pay our respects to the officer! The first tier guard of the Forbidden City, Duo Luo and Guan Lu, greets the general! "

After saying that, he continued to fight!

It was fine if they didn't have the registration number, but once they did, the surrounding soldiers were all stunned. "What?" A first class guard of the Forbidden City … "Good heavens, this is still a standard-bearer!"

"Impossible, the standard-bearer would suffer from this? All the way from India? "

The soldiers were whispering to each other in disbelief. These were all veterans who had helped during the process of growing hair. They had interacted with the flagman army before.

To tell the truth, from the bottom of their hearts, these fierce soldiers looked down on these flag men. In the entire Eight Banner Army, other than the dead Monk's army that could still fight, the rest were all cowards.

Perhaps one out of a hundred was a brave warrior, but this kind of person was also an arrogant devil with his eyes closed. They were definitely impatient with chores.

The soldiers in the flagman camp would never dig trenches, repair tools, or roll about in the mud. Not to mention running errands from tens of thousands of miles away, they all felt that this was the work of the lower class!

However, looking at the two so-called 'First Class Imperial Guards', their clothes were all torn and dirty, their hands were full of frostbite and black mud, and their faces were purple and red from being exposed to the sun.

Looking back and forth, there did not seem to be a single person acting arrogantly. How could this be the ancestors of those banner men?

When Duo Luo and Guan Lu saw the questioning expression of the surrounding soldiers, and heard the idle chatter, their faces turned red from embarrassment. In the end, they gritted their teeth and spoke viciously.

"So what if he is? Can't the flagman endure the hardships? Don't forget, there are so many territories in the Western Regions … It was also beaten down by us, the ancestors of the banner men! "

"In the three dynasties of Kang Yong, we flagmen spilled a lot of blood here!"

Liu Jintang fiercely glared at his subordinates, then went forward and held onto Duo Luo and Guan Lu's hands that were filled with cold sores. "Brother! Since you have come to the Western Regions, then there will not be any difference between the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty! "

"Our common enemy is Yaqub, we want to leave this land for future generations! You all are very kind, you all are very kind! "

"Don't worry about others, just treat them like popinjays is their choice. We will choose to be men!"
