As soon as he finished speaking, the huge and heavy palace gate slowly opened.
The first person to come out was Huo Xinyan, who was riding a horse and wearing black light armor. It was rare to see Huo Xinyan dressed like this. The young master and his friends were stunned.
"Wow, Xinyan is so handsome, it would be great if he was a man."
"I think so too. If Xinyan were a man, I would definitely marry her."
The young master's eyes also sparkled. Han Xiao covered the young master's eyes jealously and said, "Is it really that beautiful?"
The young master struggled to get Han Xiao to let him go: "Oh, my husband, I still love you the most. Please let me go or I won't be able to see Sister Xinyan anymore."
Han Xiao reluctantly let go of his hand, looked at the high-spirited Huo Xinyan and thought to himself: As expected, he and Huo Xinyan are in conflict.
Watching the young master dancing with joy, Han Xiao stood aside with his eyes looking up at the sky.
Lu Qingyun walked up to Han Xiao and nudged him with his elbow: "You know what, General Huo is really amazing..."
Han Xiao immediately glared at her. It was one thing for his wife to betray him, but how come his brothers were also bewitched by this woman?
Feeling that Han Xiao's eyes were becoming more and more dangerous, Lu Qingyun quickly shut up and stood behind Han Xiao with his neck shrunk.
Han Xiao looked up and had to admit that Huo Xinyan was indeed very handsome. Moreover, not to mention in this ancient time when resources were scarce, even in modern times it was rare to see such an outstanding woman.
I don’t know if it’s too late for him to join the army now. Maybe he can become a general.
But this kind of thing is just something to think about. Han Xiao has a family and a wife, so it’s better to leave things like fighting to professionals.
After all, it’s not easy to get into the military industry.
Huo Xinyan was not the only one leading the group. There was also an old man who was over sixty years old. Although his hair and beard were all white, he was full of energy and looked strong. The muscles that were faintly visible were probably enough to beat a cow.
This must be General Li, the biological father of Concubine Li and the grandfather of the fifth prince, who is deeply trusted by the emperor.
Because it was said that the Li family were all brave but not wise, and they were all loyal to the emperor and the royalist faction, so even though Concubine Li was arrogant and domineering in the harem, the emperor did not ignore her.
He also helped Concubine Li give birth to a son and a daughter. She was the only concubine in the harem who had both a son and a daughter. This shows how much the emperor loved her.
Behind the majestic and solemn army was the emperor's luxurious carriage. In Han Xiao's opinion, this was not a carriage, but a mobile RV with a huge size. Fortunately, the roads are now concrete roads. If it was the bluestone or mud road before, this kind of carriage would definitely not be able to go on.
The emperor wasn't the only one sitting in the carriage. Behind the huge carriage followed the concubines and princes. Eunuch Dexi began to get off the carriage to direct "traffic."
Han Xiao and his companions' carriage was neither far nor close to the emperor. Eunuch Dexi was also startled when he saw Xiaobai, but it could be seen that Xiaobai was very obedient, so he didn't say much.
Seeing that the emperor had no objection, the others dared not say anything more.
I can only hold my nose and bear it, and at most stay away from Han Xiao and the others.
They had just set out on the journey, and because there were so many people and so much stuff, their speed was very slow. Han Xiao also picked up the young master and took him outside to get some fresh air.
Many sons of officials also followed behind on horseback, gathering in groups of three or four to discuss the autumn hunt.
The young master leaned on Han Xiao's chest, and many people's eyes fell on the young master. The first was because of Xiaobai, and the second was because of the young master's identity.
Many people are wondering when the emperor will restore the young master's status.
The young master got up early today, sat on Xiaobai's back, and fell asleep leaning against Han Xiao in a daze.
Lu Qingyun rode his horse to Han Xiao's side and said enviously, "You are much more impressive than me. Why don't we switch? Ruanruan is asleep anyway."
Han Xiao hugged the young master and let him sleep more comfortably. He looked at Lu Qingyun and rolled his eyes lazily: "If Xiaobai is willing, I have no objection. You can tell it."
Xiaobai cooperated and growled at Lu Qingyun, his voice full of threats.
Lu Qingyun even guessed what Xiaobai meant and could only sigh in frustration: "Xiaobai, can't I pay for your food?"
Xiaobai roared in contempt again. It didn't need it. As the king of beasts, couldn't it find money for food?
Lu Qingyun communicated with Xiaobai for a long time, so long that Xiaobai got tired of listening and simply moved to another place to avoid Lu Qingyun's nagging.
Han Xiao couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he told Lu Qingyun to shut up. "Alright, I'll tell Xiaobai when we get to the palace. Don't even think about it now. If you wake Ruanruan up, I'll make you suffer."
When Lu Qingyun saw the sleeping young master, he didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that he would wake the young master up and get beaten up by Han Xiao.
Being beaten is a small matter; the main thing is the embarrassment.
"But why did General Li come to the autumn hunt this time?" Han Xiao was just thinking about this question.
After all, General Li is old, and this is the time for him to enjoy his retirement.
Lu Qingyun shrugged and whispered, "Isn't it because General Huo hasn't returned from the bandit suppression yet? The flood in Jiangnan has been almost dealt with, but bandits are causing trouble again. I heard that many people have been killed and a lot of money has been stolen, so His Majesty is angry."
"Is that so? But with General Huo's power, the problem should be solved soon. Why hasn't he come back yet?" After all, General Huo brought a lot of people with him.
There is no way a group of rabble can fight against the well-equipped army of the imperial court.
"You don't know this, right? The Jiangnan region is full of mountains, and General Huo is not familiar with the terrain there. Plus, after these bandits knew that General Huo was going to suppress the bandits, they hid in the village and refused to come out. General Huo could only conduct a thorough search, so this delayed him for so long." Lu Qingyun told Han Xiao the details.
These are not secrets, because the emperor has lost his temper several times in the court about this matter.
Han Xiao would know as long as he asked Han Mingyuan, but Han Xiao had been avoiding the affairs of the court recently. He only knew that General Huo had gone to provide disaster relief, and he really didn't know much else.
General Huo was away, and the other ministers felt that it was inappropriate for a woman like Huo Xinyan to protect the emperor's safety, so they asked General Li to take action.
There were eight thousand guards accompanying this time, plus the palace guards of about ten thousand people, plus the guards of other officials, servants, etc., so the number of people participating in this autumn hunt was probably around fifteen thousand.
The number of autumn hunters has increased significantly compared to previous years, which also shows that under the emperor's governance, the entire Jiang Kingdom is getting better and better.
