Chapter 319 Return to Beijing



The Songjiacun representatives came to Beijing in great excitement.

It is the most beautiful April in the world. Wild flowers are blooming on the roadside, willows are swaying in the wind, pedestrians are coming and going, and from time to time there are stalls selling water and tea set up under the shade of the trees.

There were large tracts of green wheat fields in the fields. People in Songjia Village pointed at the wheat fields and commented on which field had the best crops and which field had no weeds.

"Look, this family must be hardworking. There is not a single weed to be seen in the field."

"Oh my, this family is so lazy. Look at the weeds. They can eat up the wheat seedlings. They only see the weeds and not the wheat seedlings. Isn't this a disaster for the crops?"

"That's right. If this happened in our village, Old Fifth would have come to our house and scolded us a long time ago."

"It's not just swearing, the old patriarch has to use all the clan rules and family laws."

Everyone was pointing and chattering, as if they were on an outing. The breeze and warm sun were accompanying them, making it a very pleasant experience.

Little did they know that there were a few people secretly following their convoy.

In the capital city.

The tension caused by the abdication was replaced by excitement and excitement, because the Duke Zhenguo destroyed the Nu Khanate and was escorting the captives back to the capital in triumph.

"Have you heard? The Duke of Zhenguo destroyed the Nuhan Kingdom."

"Of course I heard that the arrogant King of Nuhan Kingdom was killed. It's really a relief."

"No, I've been eating well these past two days. Thinking about how arrogant the envoys from the Nuhan Kingdom were ten years ago, I'm very happy now."

Yes, when the envoys of the Nukhan Kingdom came to Beijing, people who experienced it still have lingering fears.

That year, the envoys from the Nu Khanate were tall and strong, with full beards and eyes like eagles. Even the bandits in Cangwu were better looking than them.

They shouted at everyone they saw:

We, the warriors of the Nu Khanate, ride our horses and gallop freely on the grasslands, but you, the people of Cangwu, can only hide in the city and rely on high walls to protect yourselves. Cangwu is just a weak country!

The brave man from Cangwu was not convinced and argued with them, but was beaten until his head was bleeding.

Because Cangwu had just experienced civil unrest and natural disasters at that time, they really didn't dare to have another war, so in the end they could only suffer all kinds of grievances and apologize to others before sending them away.

"Pah! Wasn't it that the powerful Nuhan Kingdom was destroyed by our Duke Zhenguo?"

"That's right, the Duke of Zhenguo is mighty!"

On the day when the soldiers returned triumphantly, the streets of the capital were crowded with people, and the restaurants and teahouses along the street were packed, all of which were reserved by the wives of wealthy families.

The girls were dressed up in fancy clothes.

They came to welcome the triumphant soldiers, but more of them came to see the young and promising Duke Zhenguo.

You know, although the name of the Duke of Zhenguo is known to everyone, not many people really understand him. At most, they have met him once. Who made him leave home so late and then join the military camp? In the capital, he didn't even have a childhood playmate.

Therefore, the young, mysterious and unmarried Zhenguo Duke attracted more girls' attention.

I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo is not engaged yet. I wonder which girl is lucky enough to catch his eye.

Cui Zixuan had instructed the servants early on to reserve a room on the second floor of a teahouse facing the street, and sat by the window to welcome her brother Mo.

On the other side of the teahouse, 뀑Yangxian덿 was whispering with a girl in red.

"I heard that Commander Kangning went to the military camp to look for the Duke of Zhenguo. Why didn't they come back together?"

"Ah? Commander Kang Ning actually went to the military camp? No wonder I haven't seen her these days. It turns out she was with the Duke of Zhenguo? Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. I heard with my own ears that the Grand Duke and my mother discussed that they were in love and wanted to ask His Majesty to grant them marriage."

"Ah? Does that mean they will be married when the Duke of Zhenguo returns to the capital this time?"

"Of course,"

Through the mouth of County Yang, the news that Su Mo and County Kangning were going to be granted marriage by the emperor suddenly spread in the teahouse.

Famous beauties have their own way. Before Su Mo even entered the city, the girls' hearts were broken.

The gates of the imperial city were opened, firecrackers were set off, and drums and music sounded.

"Look, the Duke of Zhenguo is coming and has passed the city gate."

Su Mo was dressed in military uniform, riding a tall horse, followed by twelve guards. Behind him were eighteen prisoner carts escorted by Yiming and Cheng Yuan, and the captives with their hands trapped.

In the end, the ones who followed closely were the envoys from the country of Ō who were frightened by Su Mo at the border.

The Nu Khanate was their leader. After the demise of the Nu Khanate, these countries quickly contacted Su Mo and expressed their willingness to be affiliated with Cangwu, pay tribute and taxes every year, and submit to him.

So this time when they returned to Beijing, the envoys from these countries brought cattle, sheep and horses and came to see His Majesty Cangwu with full sincerity.

This has to be the only way. Am I waiting to be wiped out?

"Quick, quick, bring me the purse I made. I want to throw the wedding cakes."

Wedding cakes are a kind of sweet wheaten food. Originally, they were made by the old people at the border as a gift to the soldiers returning victoriously to fill their stomachs.

After the news spread to the capital, wedding cakes became more and more exquisite. The exquisite wedding cakes not only represent the girls' love, but more importantly, respect and gratitude.

"Wow, the Duke of Zhenguo is so majestic, but why are there so many prisoner carriages? Look, the general escorting the prisoner carriages is so handsome."

Since the Duke of Zhenguo's famous beauty is already there, they can just find another one.

Yiming looked at the purse flying towards him, smiled and raised his spear, and the purse was hung on the tip of the spear.

"good"

The old people on the roadside cheered.

"I want to vote for that general." A girl shouted.

So, Yiming was surrounded by a rain of purses. She was in a good mood and played a trick of grabbing flowers. All the purses were strung on the silver spear in her hand without missing a single one.

"Wow..." The applause was thunderous.

Yiming won the hearts of many girls.

Su Xiao: "Boy, Yiming is stealing your limelight."

Su Kui: "What are you accusing me of? It's normal for her to be liked by others because she's a girl."

Su Ba: "She just stole my limelight. Ask the girl who threw the wedding cakes if she knows whether Yiming is a boy or a girl?"

Su Shi: "Why do I feel like you guys are jealous of General Yiming?"

Su Xiao: "No, this is not a wedding cake. Don't say they didn't vote for me. Even if they did, I don't care."

As he spoke, he did not forget to grab a purse, took out a wedding cake and threw it into his mouth, "Hmm, it's too sweet, how much sugar is put in it?"

The Twelve Guards were engaged in a verbal battle.

Su Mo rode on the horse, looking left and right, eagerly waiting. Where is his girlfriend?

Su Kui was a man of great intelligence. He noticed the strangeness of his wife and comforted her, "The princess was not among the officials who came to greet us, and she certainly could not have appeared in the teahouse. She must be waiting for us in the court."

Su Mo: Of course I know, but I still want to see his daughter as soon as I look up.

Song Jinxiu came here today to welcome the triumphant Su army.

Even without her relationship with Su Mo, the soldiers who fought for the country were worthy of her going out of the city gate to welcome them.

However, today, as soon as she left the house, she realized something was wrong. She quickly asked Aunt Chang to ask for leave for her, and then she went straight into her room and refused to come out.
