Chapter 99 Return to Bianjing
So the next day, Li Hao went to say goodbye to Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Wei, saying that he had not returned to the camp for many days and was worried that he would go back to take a look.
Neither of them thought much about Li Hao’s statement. After all, this is the truth. As a general in charge, he should not stay outside for a long time.
After saying goodbye, Li Hao informed everyone of the news and asked everyone to prepare to return to the camp tomorrow.
No one else here had any objection, only Zhang Wen ran to Li Hao and asked if Li Hao had said hello to Mrs. Sheng.
Of course, Li Hao's answer has been asked. Anyway, Zhang Wen would not ask Mrs. Sheng, so he could be relieved.
However, just as everyone was about to return to the camp, Li Hao was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should tell Minglan if he should tell the doctor.
After thinking carefully, Li Hao decided not to say it for now. Anyway, he had to ask when he said it back. It would be better to wait until he returned to Bianjing and ask Minglan to ask the doctor in person.
After resting in Shengfu for the last night, everyone set out on the way back to the camp in the morning of the next day.
When everyone arrived at the camp, Li Hao saw soldiers doing exercises, so he didn't bother them and dispersed back to his tent.
After the training was finished, Li Hao called Xu Ning and asked if he was not here these days and if anything had happened in the camp.
Of course, the main question is Zhu Liangzu, Sun Hu and others, and Li Hao is a little worried that they will cause trouble.
However, as Xu Ning said, Zhu Liangzu and the others have been very peaceful these days, and they just stayed in the camp to rest without running out.
Only Sun Hu, Chen Xian, Wang Bi, Hu Hai, Zhang Xing and Zhou Wu often went to Gaoyou to drink, but when they returned to the camp, they were very honest and had never caused trouble in the camp.
Li Hao was still a little satisfied with their peace.
In the following days, Li Hao asked Xu Ning to arrange the same arrangement.
But a few days later, the Sheng family came to the camp to report the funeral and informed Li Hao of the death of the old lady in the big house.
After learning the news, Li Hao asked him to go back first, and then he found Yuan Wenshao alone, informed the news of the old lady's death, and made an appointment to go to Youyang together tomorrow morning.
This time, Li Hao didn't plan to call others, so as not to cause trouble again.
But in the end, the matter was a bit different from what Li Hao thought, because Gu Tingye didn't know where the news came from.
Not even an hour after Li Hao arrived in Sheng Mansion, Gu Tingye brought Zhang Wen and Yang Wenyuan together, which made Li Hao very angry at that time.
Fortunately, Zhang Wen didn't want to do anything, just stayed quietly. In addition, the female members of the Sheng family were all in the inner room, so Zhang Wen couldn't see anyone, which made Li Hao feel relieved.
The date of burial that the Sheng family found to Taoist priests was five days after the spirit was stopped.
So Li Hao and others waited at Sheng's house, intending to return to the camp after the funeral.
The weather was very good in the first three days, but it was the fourth day.
There was heavy snow falling from goose feathers, and dense snowflakes covered the entire earth. It was not until the fifth day that the snow stopped when the horizon began to turn white.
At this time, several rising sunlight passed through the clouds in the sky and fell on a vast land, illuminating a faint golden light on the snow on the ground.
Just under this landscape is the funeral procession of the Sheng family.
Because Li Hao and others were not serious relatives of the Sheng family, it was difficult to follow the funeral procession, so they only set up road sacrifices in the streets in the city. Of course, Xu Zi'an was invited to do the specific arrangement.
Moreover, after the bandit suppression, Youyang has been very peaceful and there is no rebellion between bandits, and there is no need for Li Hao to follow.
So after the funeral team left the city, Li Hao and the others returned to Sheng's house and helped comfort Mrs. Sheng.
It was not until after the time of the time that the funeral procession slowly returned.
After the funeral ceremony was completed, Li Hao hurried back to the camp with his men, because counting on the days, if there was no delay, the order from Bianjing should be coming soon.
Sure enough, just two days after Li Hao returned to the camp, the transfer order from Bianjing arrived.
But what is more special is that this time it was not the transfer order of the Privy Council, but the order issued by the officials who sent an internal official.
The general idea of the imperial edict was to summon Li Hao to lead his army back to Bianjing, and praised Li Hao for his contribution to suppressing the rebellion, eliminated the bandit leader Wang Ze, and specifically rewarded him after returning to Bianjing.
After Li Hao received the order again, he naturally gave some benefits to the internal officials, and then asked why the official issued the order this time.
However, the internal official is not clear about the specific situation, but he is very happy to confirm that the official has received the news. It should not be a bad thing.
So after sending off the internal officials, Li Hao ordered the preparations and the entire army was dismantled back to Bianjing in three days.
However, before leaving again, Li Hao sent someone to Sheng's house and asked when the old lady Sheng would return to Beijing and whether she would return with the Imperial Camp Army.
Perhaps because she did not encounter thieves this time, Old Mrs. Sheng did not intend to change her itinerary, so she said she would return by boat after the New Year.
After learning that Old Lady Sheng replied, Li Hao didn't persuade him, and it would be better to go back to Bianjing late, so Minglan would not contact Qi Heng again at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
However, Li Hao still asked Gu Tingye to ask Shi Tou for help, and then asked Shi Tou and some guards to stay to protect the safety of Old Lady Sheng and Minglan.
After the departure time, the Imperial Camp Army set out on time. In order to return to Bianjing as soon as possible, the army still took the land route.
So the army followed Sizhou, Suzhou, Bozhou and Jingji Road to Kaifeng, and marched at a speed of 80 miles a day.
However, when I entered the Kaifeng Mansion, it was already after the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
Li Hao first brought the Imperial Camp to the west suburbs. After stationing his troops, he brought the transfer order to Bianjing City.
First, he had to go to the Privy Council to report on his duties and return the military talisman, and then he asked if he had decided on his next assignment, and also about rewarding merits and rewards. Li Hao also wanted to ask about the situation.
As a result, as soon as he entered the city gate, he saw the patrol camp searching everywhere, so Li Hao guessed that Rong Feiyan was indeed kidnapped by the Yong Wang family.
From this point of view, it is inevitable that there will be a major chaos in the future, and I have to make plans early.
After all, I am now holding a soldier in Bianjing City. Although there are not many, it is still eye-catching.
Not to mention anything else, even if Concubine Rong summoned the family of military generals, she probably wouldn't be able to escape from her own family.
When Li Hao entered the Privy Council, he found nothing except for returning the military talisman and transfer order, and only said he wanted to go back and wait for news.
Li Hao had no choice but to leave the Privy Council, and then went to Ouyang Xiu's mansion to inquire about the situation in the court.
After all, this scene on TV is simple, but in reality, both sides of the fight are people who can't afford to offend.
It’s better to understand the situation so that you won’t be confused and it will be troublesome if you accidentally step in.
However, when Li Hao arrived, he heard that Ouyang Xiu was not in the mansion and said that he was busy with official business these days and had not returned to the mansion for many days.
Li Hao was not at this time and could not go to Kaifeng Prefecture, so he had to rush back to the western suburbs. Moreover, because he had to wait for summons, he could not leave the barracks without permission.
Li Hao could only restrain the lords who were anxious to go home and worked with the soldiers of the Imperial Camp to repair the camp peacefully.
As for the news about Rong Feiyan, the Xijiao camp had spread all over the place, and there was no need for Li Hao to say anything else. Others even knew it first than Li Hao.
So everyone stayed in the camp for four days before they finally remembered it.
