Chapter 677: Return journey (2)(2/2)
“…”
Chen Lang, Xun Yi and other officials looked at each other and nodded in different expressions.
Among these officials, Chen Lang, Xun Yi, and the county magistrate, Cui Zhi, were somewhat familiar with the inside story. They knew that the princess was almost killed in Yingchuan County last time and had some relationship with the prince and the third prince, so they did not dare to ask more questions in public.
After some greetings, Zhao Yu entrusted the army to Zhang Ji and asked the latter to arrange the garrison. He brought Chu Yan, Liao Guang, Tian Qin, Cao Wu, Zhou Gong, Xu Ning, Han Gu, Gao Ning and other meritorious generals who went to fight the rebellion this time to enter the city to meet the governor of Li County and report to the latter.
When they brought a few hundred county troops into the city, the people in the city had already crowded on both sides of the streets and rushed to watch.
Seeing this, Chen Lang smiled and said to Zhao Yu, "The Duwei may not know that the news of your rebellion in Jiyin, Shanyang, Renjun and other places has long been passed into Yingchuan, making me the people of Yingchuan proud."
"ha."
Zhao Yu laughed and raised his hand to wave to the people on both sides of the street, causing cheers.
Through the crowded streets, Zhao Yu and his group came straight to the county magistrate's mansion.
During this period, Takagi, Gong Jiao and others took the princess' car and went straight to the commander Zhou Mansion.
When they arrived at the backyard of the county magistrate's mansion, Zhao Yu, Chu Yan and his group met Li Min, the county magistrate sitting in the courtyard.
Zhao Yu took the lead in celebrating: "Fortunately, I have not been humbled by the orders. I am the generals who are humble and have led my army to pacify the rebellions of Jiyin, Shanyang, Renjun, and Jibei counties..."
"Um."
County Magistrate Li stepped forward to help Zhao Yu up and nodded with relief: "Good job, Ju Zheng... More than ten days ago, I received a message from the court. I also thought that you did such an outstanding job, good, good, good!"
The three words "good" he said in a row made him look more and more satisfied with his eyes when he looked at Zhao Yu.
But his eyes made Zhao Yu feel a little uncomfortable - the look of the County Governor Li looked at him, how did he look so similar to Mrs. Marquis of Yecheng...
After praising Zhao Yu for a while, County Governor Li did not forget the other generals and praised Chu Yan, Liao Guang, Tian Qin, Cao Wu and others, including Zhou Gong, Xu Qian, Han Gu and Gao Ning.
Not to mention, Zhou Gong and the other four people have indeed achieved good results this time. Just Zhou Gong personally killed Liu Pi, the leader of the Shanyang bandit, to make the court and Li Jun Governor feel at ease with the surrender of this righteous army.
Perhaps it was precisely for this purpose that Zhou Gong and his men fought so hard in that battle.
It can be seen that the governor of Li County was indeed very happy. After all, Zhao Yu and others went to the expedition this time, which represented his reputation as Yingchuan County, and made him have a title in the court. This was a good thing for Yingchuan County, Li County Magistrate, or Zhao Yu and others.
The happy county magistrate Li immediately ordered the reward of the three armies, and also asked Zhao Yu to hold a banquet at the commander's office to celebrate the triumphant victory in suppressing the rebellion.
After saying this, he hinted to Zhao Yu: "Ju Zheng, wait a moment, I have something to say to you."
Seeing this, Chu Yan and others tactfully retired, leaving only Zhao Yu.
Sure enough, Jung-guard Li also asked about Princess Xiangrui: "Ju Zheng, why is that princess coming with you again?"
Zhao Yu explained: "The county magistrate didn't know that the couple of Marquis of Yecheng wanted to take advantage of the princess' last time that they were almost framed by the prince and the third prince. They made a big fuss in front of the emperor and asked the princess to escape from the cage of the palace. Unfortunately, they were affected by the rebellion of Jiyin County at that time... But they did not give up this idea. Therefore, Marquis of Marquis of Yecheng hoped to temporarily entrust their daughter to take care of..."
"It's just that?" County Governor Li asked with a smile: "Does Mrs. Yecheng have no other ideas?"
"I don't know this humble position... When I visited the Marquis' Mansion in Yecheng, I went with Brother Xue Ao." Zhao Yu replied truthfully.
"So that's it." County Governor Li suddenly realized, stroked his beard and said, "Well, since he couldn't find a chance to speak, he would just send his daughter here first... Haha, the wife of Yecheng Hou is smart."
Speaking of this, County Magistrate Li thought for a moment, and suddenly grabbed Zhao Yu's wrist and said enthusiastically: "Ju Zheng, let's have dinner here later. I also want to hear your experience of going on the battle... By the way, I asked my little girl to see you, she has always admired you."
『……Eh?
Zhao Yu looked at the smiling Jung-guard Li in shock, and the smile on his face was slightly stiff.
