The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

In the inner hall of Liangyi Palace, the eunuch hurried into the palace.

"Your Majesty, the military commander of Dingxiang Road has reported the military situation." The eunuch knelt in front of Li Shimin and handed him the report with both hands.

Li Shimin quickly took the report and opened it.

"Why is it not sealed?" Li Shimin frowned.

"Your Majesty, it was not sealed when it was passed to Taiji Palace. I specifically asked the people from the Ministry of War, and they were not sealed when it was passed to them."

"Not sealed?" Li Shimin thought for a long time and looked at Fang Xuanling who was sitting next to him: "I'll make a bet with you. The military report is not sealed, which means the situation is urgent and there is no time to seal it. I bet on a great victory."

"I bet too, a great victory." Fang Xuanling smiled and responded.

"No, what kind of bet is this? Change it."

Fang Xuanling just smiled and said nothing.

How to change it? What to change? Why force others to choose something different from him?

It has come to this point, how can he still lose? Then Li Jing could really dig a hole on the grassland and bury himself in it.

Li Shimin opened the report and quickly read it.

"Li Jing led his troops to raid Tieshan, and Jie Li Khan fled on horseback. Li Jing led his troops to behead more than 10,000 people, captured more than 100,000 men and women, hundreds of thousands of livestock, killed Princess Yicheng, and captured Jie Li Khan's son Dieluoshi."

"Sure enough, a great victory." Fang Xuanling smiled.

"There's more." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Jie Li led more than 10,000 people to cross the Qikou, but Li Ji's army had already lined up at the Qikou, and the great chiefs under his command all led the tribes they ruled to surrender. Li Ji captured a total of more than 50,000 people and captured Jie Li alive. At this moment, he is taking Jie Li back to Chang'an."

"Hahahaha."

After saying that, Li Shimin laughed out loud.

I have said long ago that he wants Jie Li to come to Chang'an City in person and kneel down in front of him to surrender!

Now, he doesn't need to come on his own initiative. This time, he has to come even if he doesn't want to!

He can't even grasp the opportunity to surrender.

Li Jing, this matter is really inspiring!

"Come here, pass this victory report to the Jingyang Palace." Li Shimin said.

"Yes." The eunuch responded.

His father-in-law won a victory outside. This news must be told to him quickly, so that he can go to the Yinggong Mansion to tell the Yinggong's family that everything is safe in the front and the soldiers have made great contributions.

This kid has been running to the palace so many times recently, all for the purpose of finding out whether his father-in-law is safe in the front.

This is the first time I have seen a son-in-law do this.

Now it's good, everyone can rest assured.

After receiving the news at the mansion, Li Fu was instantly overjoyed.

"Thank you for the message from the palace supervisor. Old Zhou, please receive him." Li Fu smiled and said, "I will tell my wife the good news right away."

After Li Fu finished speaking, he hurried to the backyard.

Old Zhou understood what her husband meant, and received the eunuchs from the palace well, letting him eat and drink well at home, and take some small gifts when he left.

Li Fu ran all the way to the study.

"Madam! Good news, great news." Li Fu couldn't stop smiling, pushed open the door of the study and walked in.

"Husband?" Li Shao was puzzled.

"The news from the palace just now, the front reported that the Turks have been pacified, General Li Jing defeated the Jie Li tribe, and my father led troops to intercept Jie Li at the mouth of the Qi River and captured Jie Li alive. Now he has begun to return to the court."

When Li Shao heard this, the brush in his hand fell on the white paper, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"Really?"

"Really? How can the military intelligence report be false? Now, I can rest assured. My father has also made great contributions in the front." Li Fu said with a smile.

"Great." Li Shao's face was full of joy: "Husband, I want to go back to the Duke of Ying's Mansion."

"Back, right away." Li Fu said: "I will ask someone to prepare a carriage."

"No, no, I will go back directly on horseback, which is faster." Li Shao said and walked out.

It is more convenient to prepare a carriage than to ride a horse.

Li Shao did not even have time to change his clothes and ran out directly.

At the gate of Jingyang Palace, Li Shao was heroic, jumped on the horse, and left with a whip.

She now urgently wanted to go back to her mother's house and tell her mother about this.

When Li Fu chased to the door, he could only see Li Shao's back.

At this time, Shitou led the horse over.

Li Fu also jumped on the horse and chased his wife.

"It's running really fast." Li Fu couldn't help but sigh as he rode to catch up.

At the gate of the Duke of Ying's mansion, the servants working at the gate saw their married wives riding horses towards them from a distance, and hurried forward to greet them.

Li Shao turned over and dismounted, throwing the reins directly toto the servant.

"Miss, why are you back?"

Li Shao ignored the servant and ran into the house without stopping.

Before the servant came to his senses, another figure came into view.

Isn't this his son-in-law?

What happened today? The couple came one after the other.

After Li Fu stopped.

"Take care of the horses."

After saying that, he also trotted inside.

The servant looked puzzled.

What's going on? They are so anxious. Did the couple quarrel?

"Where is mother?" Li Shao asked a maid after entering the house.

"Madam is in the backyard." The maid said.

Li Shao ran to the backyard.

In the backyard, the wife of the Duke of England was taking a walk and saw her daughter running hurriedly from a distance.

"What's wrong with you? So anxious? You're so flustered, how can you be so rude?"

"Mother, there's good news from the front line. We won the battle. My father and his men captured Jie Li alive at Qikou. The army is returning to the capital and will arrive in Chang'an soon. We won the battle. My father is safe!" Li Shao said excitedly.

"Oh! Really! God bless you, God bless you."

The Duke of Yingguo's eyes were also full of excitement. She put her hands together and kept saying God bless you.

Whether you have made any contribution or not is secondary. It's better for people to be safe and sound.

The battlefield is dangerous and the environment on the grassland is harsh.

I have been on the grassland for a whole winter.

Now, I can finally come back.

I guess it will be spring when I return to Chang'an.

"Didn't Huairen come with you?" asked the Duke of Yingguo.

Li Shao was stunned.

"Ah?"

"Ah what? Didn't Huairen come with you?"

Li Shao then remembered her husband. It seemed that he had followed her all the way here, right?

"My daughter was in a hurry and came here on horseback, so..."

"You." Lady Yingguo had a smile on her face, but also a bit of anger. She stretched out her finger and tapped Li Shao's forehead.

At this time, the maid in the front yard also hurried over.

"Madam, Miss, the son-in-law is waiting in the front hall."
