He pulled the trigger and fired three shots at the crooked tree outside that was often beaten by time travelers.
When the gunshots rang out, the guards thought something had happened and rushed over.
However, they were all dismissed by Yuchi Zhong.
After everyone left, Yuchi Zhong and Jiang Hai walked to the tree and took a look. Wow, it was so powerful.
Jiang Hai said: "Old Taishan, this thing is called a pistol. It is for your self-defense."
Yuchi Zhong nodded happily, took the pistol, and was about to pull the trigger.
Jiang Hai saw that the muzzle of the gun was still pointed at a certain part of his body and he almost peed his pants.
He jumped sideways and kept shouting, "Don't shoot, don't shoot."
Yuchi Zhong finally reacted and stopped.
Jiang Hai was still in shock, and was almost beaten to death by his father-in-law.
After the shock, he remembered that his father-in-law was not from their military camp in Xincheng, and these things had to be taught.
He disassembled the gun and reassembled it, and explained to Yuchi Zhong in detail how to use it.
Yuchi Zhong nodded with satisfaction, assembled the gun himself, and fired a few shots at the tree trunk, directly using up the remaining bullets in the magazine.
It was very comfortable. Soldiers loved these good weapons the most. Yuchi Zhong now liked Jiang Hai more and more.
After returning to the house, Jiang Hai asked Wang Fa for some bullets for his father-in-law.
After Yuchi Zhong sat down, he asked his daughter and son-in-law,
"Since the fighting here has stopped, I will return to the city in a few days to report. Do you want to go back with me?"
"Okay, okay."
“No, no.”
Jiang Hai and his wife answered the questions in tacit understanding.
“…”
Seeing the two of them being so united in heart, Yuchi Zhong didn't know what to say.
He stayed here for a few days, intending to leave some of his soldiers behind to make up for the loss of troops caused by the foreign invasion.
Once the arrangements are made, there is no need to stay at the border anymore.
Yuchi Ziling thought that by going back to the capital with her father, she could go home again and also pay the return gift.
But when Jiang Hai thought about the army's slow crawl back to the capital, which would take a month, he felt terrible, so he had no intention of going back to the capital with the army at all.
"My dear son-in-law, what are your plans?" Yuchi Zhong took advantage of Jiang Hai and chose to ignore his daughter's voice.
"We plan to take the boat back in the next two days. There are quite a lot of people here this time, and they are all waiting to return to Southern Xinjiang. They are still on the boat."
"Oh, I see. That's fine too." Yuchi Zhong expressed his understanding.
Yuchi Ziling, who was standing by, felt a little unhappy when she saw that she was being ignored.
Jiang Hai noticed her expression and thought that she must have some thoughts that she hadn't said yet, so he asked,
"Ma'am, do you have any other plans?"
"I want to go back to the capital. I haven't returned home yet. It's rare for me to come out, so can we go back?" Yuchi Ziling said expectantly.
Jiang Hai thought about it and said, yes, he hasn’t returned home yet. He has indeed come here. Going to the capital is much closer than going back to southern Xinjiang.
"How about this, I'll let Wu Gong and the others take the people back to Southern Xinjiang first, and Lu Laotie can take us to the capital by water."
"Okay, that's fine too."
Yuchi Ziling was also very happy when she saw Jiang Hai agreed to return to the capital.
After sitting for a while, Jiang Hai and his wife got up and left Yuchi Zhong's residence.
When he was leaving, he met the Sixth Prince who was looking for Yuchi Zhong.
The two sides greeted each other, and Jiang Hai did not stay and left with his wife.
Yang Hongjin heard about what was happening with Yuchi Zhong at his residence and came over to check on him.
The news of Jiang Hai going to the capital to pick up his bride had spread widely. Yang Hongjin had also heard about it and couldn't help but look at Jiang Hai twice.
After entering Yuchi Zhong's residence, Yang Hongjin mentioned the noise the soldier had just mentioned.
"Marshal, what happened? I just heard from the soldiers that there was a noise in your house."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's nothing serious. It's just that my son-in-law made a little thing and didn't mean to disturb Your Highness."
"I'm glad you're alright. When will the Marshal be leaving for the capital?"
"Let's arrange the garrison affairs in the next two days and then leave. Staying one more day will increase the consumption. It's better to go back early."
Yuchi Zhong and Yang Hongjin talked for a while in the main hall, and then Yang Hongjin left.
…
Two days later, Jiang Hai and his group left Donggu Pass.
After saying goodbye to Yuchi Zhong, he headed towards the beach.
The next day, Yuchi Zhong also led his army to the capital. Fortunately, his good son-in-law came over, took a short visit, and then went home.
…
Qingshui River, estuary, above the pier.
That day, Jiang Hai's warship arrived nearby, preparing to disembark at the pier and transfer to a merchant ship bound for the capital.
Mainly on the ship, Lu Laotie suggested that Jiang Hai should not drive the warships to the capital, after all, their ships were a bit ostentatious.
Jiang Hai felt that this made sense. Since the movements on the border could be concealed from the imperial court, it was indeed wrong to send warships to the capital.
Of the ships that came, only two were covered with iron sheets, and the other two were made of wood.
So we chose a wooden boat, unloaded the incongruous things, and drove to the Qingshui River Pier to disembark.
Before leaving, everyone escorted Jiang Hai and his wife down to the dock.
This border expedition was a complete victory, and everyone was in high spirits. Lu Laotie even winked at Jiang Hai and said,
"Master, let's go together when we get back to Xincheng."
Jiang Hai instantly felt that his IQ was threatened. He ignored this innocent person and instead warned Qin Bai,
"Bai ah, remember what the young master said, stay away from this big villain, understand?"
After a few words of laughter, they waved goodbye and boarded the boat to leave.
Besides his wife, Jiang Hai was accompanied by Cai'er and Wenzhi.
Dugu Qiu originally wanted to follow, but Jiang Hai asked him to go back to the Xincheng military camp first to see if his leg could be saved so that he would not be in a state of uncertainty in the future.
The old man also listened to the advice and nodded. Looking at his empty hands, he did not forget to ask Jiang Hai,
"Master, where is the good sword you mentioned? Can I get it if I go back?"
"Go back and ask Wu Gong to find it for you. It's in my room. He knows where it is."
After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Dugu Qiu was very satisfied. He limped onto the boat with the large group and returned.
After Lu Laotie's boat left, Jiang Hai looked for a boat to the capital at the dock.
I boarded a cargo ship, and after getting on, I realized what a coincidence, it was the cargo ship of Furong Chamber of Commerce.
After Hao Bo went to Nanzhou City, the cargo ship of Furong Chamber of Commerce had already loaded the goods and was ready to go to the capital.
However, since their ship is an ordinary vessel, its sailing speed is naturally not as fast as that of Jiang Hai and his team's powerful warship.
So at this time we just arrived at Qingshui River Wharf.
It will take several days for this cargo ship to reach the capital.
However, it would be much faster than returning to the capital with Yuchi Zhong's army.
In the next few days, Jiang Hai and his companions had nothing to do and could only sit on the boat and wait to arrive at the capital.
