After signing this contract, the two parties reached a mutual cooperation, and the Hun army began to retreat directly.
No matter whether it was the lost cities or the Thousand Swords Pass that they had already captured, they were all retreated one by one without any delay.
Although no one knows how brutal this group of Xiongnu army is and how much gold, silver and treasures they have looted?
This thing is definitely not going to be returned.
After resolving this matter, Lu Yun hurried back to the court.
The Hun army had already retreated to their grasslands, so there was no need for him to stay.
However, he also received a letter from Bai Xiaoxiao.
The letter said, "I never thought that this separation would be forever. I don't know when you will be able to come back. Now, there is peace between the grassland and you."
"Twenty years is enough for me to do something. I will govern our Barbarian Country well according to the method you give me."
"I will also do my best to help you. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me..."
"Also, can you come back earlier? Although I know that the Empress and you have a deep relationship, I am also your woman in the true sense of the word."
“…”
Lu Yun looked at the contents of the letter and couldn't help but sigh that he had offended another woman.
It must be said that Bai Xiaoxiao did not use the tone of "I", and was still quite intimate.
With a sigh, Lu Yun rushed directly to Shangjing City.
After being away for so long, I naturally miss you very much.
Not only did she miss the empress, she also missed the concubines in the harem and her own children. She didn't know how the fetuses in their wombs were doing.
Thinking of this, Lu Yun felt happy and relieved.
As for the construction of border cities, subsequent repairs, and disaster relief.
Both require a lot of manpower and material resources.
General Shangguan Yun and his son Shangguan Yan were not in a hurry to leave. They understood that the battle ended because of their failed command, so naturally they should be allowed to atone for their sins.
Sitting on the horse, he leaned on Ye Jiajia's shoulders and gently hugged her slender waist.
Lu Yun chuckled and said, "Xiao Ye, you smell so good."
Ye Jiajia couldn't help but rolled her eyes and explained, "Does it smell good?"
"With your empress's fragrance, we are about to go back."
"Do you... miss her a lot? Do you two feel so strongly about each other when you meet?"
"Nonsense, there's nothing wrong between me and His Majesty, don't talk nonsense."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
When they returned to the capital, they did not make a big fanfare. Instead, they traveled alone on horseback, just like ordinary people, not wanting to reveal their identities easily.
That evening, I passed by a place called Ninglan County and thought, since I was not in a hurry, I might as well stay in this small county for one night.
We will continue our journey tomorrow and try to get back to Shangjing City as soon as possible.
After finding a small inn in the small county town, Lu Yun was having a drink.
Suddenly I saw an old man on the street. His face looked wounded, his hair was gray, and he looked in pain.
"Give my daughter's life back! Give my daughter's life back!"
"Why do you beasts treat my daughter like this? Why!"
"Why! Give me back my daughter's life!"
However, the people saw that the old man did not seem sad at all, but instead seemed to be avoiding him, and they didn't know what was going on.
Lu Yun also frowned when he saw this scene. What happened to this old man?
Why don’t you report this injustice to the authorities?
"Hey, who is this old man? Why is he so crazy? What did he do? What did he do?"
"Oh, it's not easy for this old man. He had a daughter in his old age. She is so beautiful. It's a pity that she was seen by the county magistrate's son."
"You also know that our county magistrate's son is arrogant, extravagant, and does all kinds of evil, but no one can do anything to him."
"They snatched the woman away in front of many people on the street. I heard that she hanged herself under a locust tree that night."
"When the old man learned that his daughter had died, he was devastated. All his support had disappeared, and he no longer wanted to live."
"He just wanted justice for his daughter, but how could he let the county magistrate's son do this?"
"What can an old man like him do?"
After hearing this, Lu Yun suddenly understood. No wonder this happened. He never expected that such a thing could happen in a small county below a city not far from the capital.
It shouldn't be like this!
People from the Western Factory should also be monitoring places like this. Logically speaking, he should have arranged at least five or more Western Factory personnel in the capital area.
How come there's no news at all? After all, according to the rules he proposed, if someone does something like this, they will definitely be beheaded!
Kill without mercy, without the slightest chance.
Ye Jiajia was also standing by, frowning, "Damn it! This is outrageous! Why would something like this happen?"
"Could it be that our West Factory has become a mere decoration now?"
Lu Yun sighed. Now that a temporary governor of the Western Factory has been appointed, there will definitely be problems.
After all, they only sent a commander after they left, but for various reasons, he was impeached and slandered by those ministers.
So the emperor had no choice but to replace them.
"What a great Western Factory! Commander-in-Chief!"
Lu Yun snorted coldly.
The old man's loud shouting on the street also attracted government officials.
They took one look, then walked over in their official uniforms with a ferocious look on their faces, and kicked the old man, causing him to fall to his knees.
"What are you yelling about, old man?"
"Who told you to shout here?"
"Get out of here now, and go as far as you can."
The old man stood up without fear, and said, "I know you won't redress my grievances, so why don't you just kill me? Kill this old man like me."
"There's no point in me living anyway, just kill me!"
"Hahahaha, the county magistrate's son killed my daughter. He let my daughter die like this. Is there any law left?"
"Isn't there a Western Factory? Where is it?"
"I don't accept it!"
"Shut up!" The official constable took a look and was very angry.
This old man has a big mouth and tells everything.
What if other people heard this?
If it spreads more widely, it might be a bit dangerous.
"You stinky old man, you really think we dare not kill you. I just see that you are old and I can't bear to kill you. If I want to kill you, it would be easy."
"Get out of here!"
As he said that, he raised his leg and wanted to kick the old man again, but this time, he was stopped by Lu Yun!
