Chapter 2577
Before the army returned to the court, all injured generals were sent back to Beijing first.
Hongye personally escorted King An. The two men had crossed paths before. At that time, everyone had their own agendas. Who could have thought that one day, the two would go to the battlefield to defend Beitang?
King Wei and King Shun accompanied the large team to protect the three giants. They returned with the large team, leaving one hundred thousand soldiers at the border. The rest returned to Beijing first.
When King An returned to the capital, Princess An had already learned that he was injured before the battle and lost an arm. Therefore, when Hongye and others escorted him back to the capital, they reported the itinerary along the way and arrived in the capital. Princess An took her daughter Princess Anzhi in the city.
Welcome at the door.
The setting sun shone on Princess An's tearful eyes, with a slightly trembling smile on her lips as she watched the Qingqi slowly arrive at the city gate.
She held An Zhi in her arms and did not get off the carriage, just waiting for him to come.
King An's injuries were basically not serious now. When he saw the princess greeting her at the city gate, he wiped the stubble on his face carelessly, smiled from afar, rode forward, and took a deep look.
, then he turned over and fell off his horse, and walked up quickly.
He first picked up Anzhi, who was already asleep. After her father came over, she woke up, glanced at him blankly, and then fell asleep again. King An lowered his head and kissed her little cheek.
The stubble made her feel uncomfortable. She woke up with a shiver, took another look, pouted and fell asleep again.
Prince An laughed, hugged Nurse An Zhirang away, stared at Princess An, and said hoarsely: "I'm back!"
Princess An tried her best not to look at his empty arms, but only focused on his face. The tears she held back slid down her cheeks, and she choked: "Okay, just come back. I'm proud of you!"
He held her in his arms with one hand. Princess An's nose felt sore. She smelled the breath of wind, frost and war on his body. She stretched out her hands to hug him tightly and murmured: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
Hong Ye rode his horse and followed behind, giving him a faint glance, "I'm leaving first!"
No one paid attention to him, a single dog. There were people walking around, looking at loving couples. However, the city gate guard handed him a cigarette and hot tea, and said a few flattering words.
Hongye didn't answer and rode away.
When I returned to the mansion, the yard was piled with fallen leaves and the house was full of dust. It was uninhabited and deserted. If you wanted to drink water, you had to boil it yourself.
He gave the horse a handful of dry fodder. Seeing the horse eating deliciously, he couldn't help but murmured: "I'm not as good as you."
The door was kicked open, and Yu Wenhao's voice filled his ears, "Old Hong, are you back? Let's go have a drink in the house!"
Hong Ye turned around and saw Yu Wenhao coming in excitedly with Xu Yi and Gu Si, followed by Ling Yan. He had his hands behind his back and his eyes were clear and deep through the gap between the three of them.
Hongye stretched out his hand to support the horse's head and said calmly: "Wine? I may not be free. I have something to do."
Yu Wenhao stepped forward and looked at him, "What are you busy with? We came here specially to invite you. We were supposed to greet you at the city gate today. Something happened at the last moment. I rushed to the Yamen to deal with it. We will wait for us to finish the matter.
Go to the city gate and say that you have left, so I will come to you quickly."
Hongye raised his eyes, feeling very embarrassed, "But my matter is quite urgent. I really can't drink with you. Let's do it next time. I'll be the host next time!"
Yu Wenhao was a little disappointed, "Is it so urgent?"
Hong Ye gently swept the horse's head, "Isn't it?"
Gu Si said: "Then I'll invite the young master next time, but the banquet has been booked and the young master won't be available, so we have to go too."
