In the early morning, the sun has risen from the sea in the east.
Eager to return home, the honor guard led by Xia Su had been waiting at Cangsha Ferry early.
"The ships sent from Lingnan Lianzhou have arrived!"
Hu Chen smiled and said to Xia Su, "This time, the ship was sent by Lord Lin Yelin, the prefect of Lianzhou. I think it must be much safer than when we came here! We won't be cheated by the shipowner again."
Xia Su had some understanding of Lin Ye. He heard that this person was thorough and meticulous in his work, so he finally felt relieved. He was really scared of being cheated all the way in Haizhou.
Little did he know that Lin Ye was also on Jiang Lili's side.
When Jiang Lili and his group first arrived in Lingnan during their exile, they encountered a sudden locust plague in Tianshui Village in the Yunhai County area of Lingnan. They offered assistance, not only curbing the source of the locust plague, but also helping the villagers find food crops with short growth cycles and high yields.
Lin Ye, the then mayor of Yunhai County, always remembered the kindness of Jiang Lili, Liao Xiaoshengtong and others.
Three years later, Lin Ye has become the prefect of Lianzhou with his outstanding political achievements and the support of the Lingnan He family. Although he seems to be in charge of the Lianzhou area, in fact, the entire Lingnan is under the jurisdiction of him in politics and the He family in business. The two powerful families have joined forces and are invincible.
Xia Su didn't have to wait long. Soon, King Zhao and his family also arrived at Cangsha Ferry.
Jiang Lili and others have already changed into the gorgeous clothes and jewelry presented by the ceremonial guard that conform to the regulations of the royal palace.
Their family members were already good-looking, and now with the blessing of gorgeous clothes, they looked even more dignified. When Xia Su walked towards them, he felt a vague sense of oppression.
It would be fine if Prince Zhao and his entourage were haggard and sickly now, but now they are returning to the capital in high spirits and standing before the emperor...
Xia Su broke out in a cold sweat.
Lianzhou prefect Lin Ye sent two large ships and also sent his associate to welcome them.
"Your Highness Prince Zhao, please board the first Mulan boat with your family."
The Lianzhou Tongzhi then turned to Xia Su and said, "Sir Xia, please board this ship with the honor guard."
Xia Su frowned upon hearing this: "Isn't it unsafe for Prince Zhao and his family to be alone on a ship? What if someone tries to assassinate His Highness Prince Zhao?"
Jiang Lili sneered in her heart after hearing this. Who else is the bad guy here besides you, Xia Su?
The Tongzhi's arrangement was simply in accordance with the instructions of his immediate superior, the Lianzhou prefect Lin Ye, so that Prince Zhao and his family could arrive at the Lianzhou wharf comfortably, without having to be monitored by Xia Su, a dog-skin plaster, during the voyage, and they could also have comfortable food and accommodation.
The Lianzhou Tongzhi smiled politely and said, "No, we have already sent heavy troops to guard the first Mulan boat to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao and his family."
"Furthermore, Lord Xia and the honor guard are not acclimatized to the local climate. They may not be able to provide for His Royal Highness Prince Zhao and his family at sea. We have prepared various seasickness medications, hoping to reduce the suffering of Lord Xia and the honor guard on the return journey."
This is implying that you, Xia Su, are so seasick while leading the honor guard on the sea that you are unable to take care of yourself, so how can you be in the right condition to protect King Zhao? You'd better take care of yourself and don't hold our team back.
Although what the other party said was true, Xia Su felt very unhappy.
However, since the other party had done enough to save face, he couldn't say anything and could only agree: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Tongzhi, to take more care of it. Xia is very grateful."
——"You're welcome."
So, three days later, Jiang Lili and her group arrived in Lianzhou comfortably. The food and accommodation conditions on the ship were much better than those on Xia Su's ship. Moreover, everyone on the ship was their own people, so it was very comfortable.
When the boat reached the shore, King Zhao and his family were in high spirits, showing no sign of fatigue from the journey.
Xia Su and the others were in much better condition than when they got off the boat, but they were still listless.
Next, the road from Lingnan to Qinglin Mountains and then to Linzhou where Li Xiaoguan was located was smooth and unobstructed.
The guard of honor was majestic and powerful, and the people along the way paid homage to Prince Zhao's palace, which truly embodied the meaning of "the will of the people".
Under such pressure, there was no way to arrange for anyone to tamper with Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Everything went smoothly all the way. Twenty-seven days after setting off from Haizhou Island, Jiang Lili and his party arrived in the capital.
It had taken them four months to travel during their initial exile, but now, thanks to horse-drawn carriages and smooth roads, it took them less than a month to return.
On the morning of the day they arrived in the capital, the main roads of the capital were already filled with people who had come to welcome Prince Zhao back to the capital.
The people in the capital had already heard the news in advance that King Zhao and his two sons not only came back to life, but also captured an island occupied by pirates.
This good news seemed too good to be true, so everyone came out together today to see the splendor of Prince Zhao's Mansion with their own eyes, so that they could be sure that their Dasheng's patron saint had really returned.
They were very curious about what had become of King Zhao's family after three years of wasting time on the deserted island.
When dawn broke, the city gate was already bustling with people, and the people were eagerly waiting.
People on both sides of the main road held garlands in their hands, and the anticipation on their faces was obvious.
Children stood in front of the road on both sides, staring at the city gate with wide eyes. They had grown up listening to the story of Xin Che, the Great Sheng God of War, and now they couldn't wait to catch a glimpse of their idol.
As the gates of the capital city slowly opened, the sound of gongs and drums from the ceremonial guards was deafening, and the crowd became excited.
King Zhao and his two sons rode tall horses, looking very majestic.
The female members of the family sat in luxurious BMW cars, protected by guards and attendants on both sides of the team.
"Welcome Prince Zhao's Mansion back to the capital!"
"Live long, my Lord!"
The excited cheers and shouts were endless, which was enough to show the profound influence of King Zhao and his two sons!
Finally back to the capital!
Jiang Lili sat in the luxurious carriage, her heart pounding.
She lifted the curtain and looked out. When passing by the most conspicuous luxurious teahouse on the main road, Jiang Lili looked up and saw a woman in light purple clothes and a flying bun holding a cup of milk tea and smiling at her.
It was Hou Xiaoxiao who had transformed into the Princess of Jin!
Jiang Lili's beautiful eyes blinked, and a big smile appeared on her face. Then she suddenly remembered that their original identity was still the relationship between mortal enemies who were incompatible with each other. The corners of her mouth curled up, and the smile on her face changed. It was like a proud smile, as if she was showing off to Hou Xiaoxiao that she had returned to Beijing.
Hou Xiaoxiao saw Li Li's smile change and almost couldn't help laughing. Li Li was indeed a veteran actor. She wanted to slap her when she saw her smug smile.
After passing this super luxurious teahouse, there is a restaurant that is undoubtedly luxurious. On the second floor of the restaurant, He Lin is sitting in a box with the best view. Seeing Jiang Lili's carriage passing by, he raised the wine glass in his hand and waved it to her, and finally raised his head to drink it, as if to celebrate Jiang Lili's grand return.
Jiang Lili couldn't hide her joy when she finally met the online friend she had been chatting with for three years.
However, at this moment, a shout came from the front of the honor guard.
"Li Li, my daughter, you are finally back!"
