The one who threw herself into Xin You's arms was of course Liu Le.

Liu Le is several months pregnant. Although she is not yet bloated, she is already a little pregnant.

She ran so fast and "thrown herself into my arms", which really shocked Xin You.

Xin You quickly hugged her and moved the sword around his waist to avoid hitting her.

Since Xin You's expedition to the Western Regions, Liu Le had not thought about food or tea during these times. She was worried about Xin You's safety and missed him day and night. At this time, being held in Xin You's arms, she only felt that Xin You's arms were so strong. It was so warm, and my heart, which had been hanging around for a long time, finally felt at ease.

Liu Le put his little head into Xin You's robe.

Xin You never put fragrance on his clothes, but he had just taken a careful bath in the camp last night, and his new clothes had a refreshing fragrance.

The fragrance of clothes and the familiar body breath mix into a wonderful smell.

Liu Le closed his eyes peacefully and comfortably, quietly feeling this peaceful moment full of warmth.

Suddenly remembering that there were Liu Zhuang, A Chou and many slaves beside her, her face suddenly turned red and she became shy. She quickly broke away from Xin You's arms and jumped to the side. Although she jumped away, her big black eyes , reluctant to leave Xinyou for a while.

She said softly and lovingly: "Everyone, you are back!"

Xin'er smiled and said, "You're back!"

Liu Le, Liu Zhuang, A Chou and others prostrated themselves on the ground and said in unison according to the rehearsed words: "Slaves, congratulations on your triumph!"

Xin'er smiled and said: "The triumph is good, but Xiaoxiao, you also have a share of this military achievement."

Liu Le asked strangely: "How come there is a slave?"

Xin You pointed to his chest. Under his robe, he was wearing a leather crotch that Liu Le had sewn for him before the expedition. He said, "Xiaoxiao, thanks to the crotch you made for me, I will be able to fight this time." I was the only one who had a near miss! Do you think it’s a credit to you?”

Liu Le opened his eyes wide and asked: "'Any danger?' Everyone, are you in any danger?" His tone was full of fear.

The original intention of Xin'er's words was to make her happy, but Liu Le's focus was completely different from Xin'er's.

Xin You laughed loudly and said, "No matter what danger you have, it has passed and is not worth mentioning!" She smiled at Liu Le and said, "Since you have made great contributions, I cannot but reward you. Look, I will bring it back to you." What?"

He signaled Wei Shu and other entourage who had returned from him to take down the gifts prepared by Liu Le and others from the car and lay them out one by one.

Nothing extravagant or expensive.

There are spices, wine, raisins, several kinds of Western fruits, more than ten Western-style women's dresses, and a set of Kucha musical instruments.

Such things are all unique to the local areas of Qiuci and other countries.

When it comes to the captures in this battle, there are quite a few.

One of the purposes of Xin'er's conquest of the Western Regions was to enrich the national treasury.

Before returning to the court, with his hint and acquiescence, Yang Mao, Zhang Gui leader, Suo Gong, Zhang Shao, Wei Ban, Beigong Yue, Yan Xi, Tufa Boye, etc. took action and almost destroyed Kucha and Shan. The treasury of Shan and other countries, especially Qiuci, was completely plundered.

The various treasures, gold, silver, silk and satin brought back from the army were carried by twenty to thirty thousand camels.

In addition, there were more than 10,000 horses that could be used for military purposes; more than 10,000 war horses were captured on the battlefield, as well as good armor and good bows totaling tens of thousands.

In addition to gold and silk treasures, horses and camels, they also brought back hundreds of men and women who were proficient in music, singing, dancing, painting, strange skills, exotic plays and other Western arts and performances, and prepared them to be used to dedicate them to Linghu music and coax them. He delights in more than a thousand species of special birds and monsters.

All in all, the four words "return with great gains" are used to describe Xin'er's gains from this battle, and they are not false at all.

However, apart from giving some of the captured and brought-back humans and animals to the meritorious soldiers and keeping some for human relations, he did not take any of the others himself. They were all registered and reported to the police.

In the middle of the court.

What I brought to Liu Le and others were all ordinary things.

Yang Mao, Zhang Gui and others privately admired his move.

Liu Le is innocent and doesn't care about the value of items at all.

She happily looked at everything, picked up a women's dress from the Western Regions, compared it with her body, and sighed.

Xin You looked at her with a smile, like a cheerful little bird, circling and dancing among the gifts that were placed on the floor. Hearing her sigh, she asked: "Why are you sighing? Don't you like it?"

Liu Le wrinkled his nose and said worriedly: "The clothes are so beautiful. It's just that I'm getting fatter every day. I'm afraid I won't be able to wear them!"

"If you can't wear it now, you can save it for later. Which one do you like? Take it! A Chou, you can also pick two!"

Liu Le and A Chou didn't take the pieces of silk-thin silk, painted birds and flowers, which seemed to be valuable at first glance, but each chose a relatively simple set.

Xin'er joked and said, "If you don't choose the beautiful ones, how come you only pick the ugly ones?"

Ah Chou said obediently: "How can there be any ugly ones among the ones we brought back? Besides, there are ugly ones, and it is just right for Ah Chou to wear them."

Xin You laughed.

He knew in his heart that Liu Le and A Chou kept the gorgeous and expensive things for no other reason than because they did not dare to compete with Linghu Yan.

The courtyard was full of people worshiping, and Xin You knew that Linghu Yan was not among them, but thinking of this, she still glanced at them again unconsciously.

Sure enough, Ling Huyan's pretty figure was still not found.

Xin'er thought in her heart: "My husband has been bloody on the battlefield and returned home majestic from a hundred battles. You are so beautiful, but you don't come to greet me!"

Human emotions are strange.

During these few months in the Western Region, Xin You could not help but miss home. She thought most of Liu Le and A Chou, but sometimes she also thought of Ling Huyan.

After marrying Ling Huyan, although the two did not communicate much, they lived in the same house and saw each other frequently.

Xin You gradually understood Ling Huyan's temperament.

Liu Le is simple, A Chou is sensible, Xin You likes them both, but when it comes to "sense of familiarity", only Linghu Yan can give him this feeling.

Xin Er felt more and more that Ling Huyan's temperament was not like that of women nowadays in many ways, but was somewhat similar to the women in his previous life. He couldn't tell where the similarities were specifically, but he just had this feeling. Maybe.

Is it informality? Maybe it's lively? Maybe it's playful? Maybe it's because you don't think riding a horse with pleated hakama is a men's patent? Maybe it's your attitude of treating everyone equally, no matter how high or low they are?

The change in perception, like dripping water piercing stone, subtly affected the change in his mood.

Xin'er held the hilt of the sword, and consciously there was a fierce look in his eyes, thinking: "I have defeated Shanshan and Qiuci, Wusun, Yueban, a hundred thousand allied troops, defeated me, with the power of this victory

, I’m not what I used to be! I’m going to take my revenge tonight... Damn it, I’m going to be embarrassed in front of Xiaoyang, Laohuang and the others!”

Inside the back door, he poked his head around, sometimes listening to the sounds in the front yard, sometimes looking back.

After a while, Linghuyan didn't come out.

Da Tou couldn't wait any longer and trotted along the corridor back to the house where Ling Huyan lived. He opened the door and went in, anxiously saying: "Master! Why are you lingering? The general has been back for a long time! You hear how lively it is up front!

The general seems to have brought you a lot of gifts!"

Linghuyan sat on the couch, curled her lips and said, "Is it rare?"

"The general conquered the Western Region and destroyed both countries! He also defeated hundreds of thousands of Wusun and Yueban's reinforcements. My lord, the general is really a great hero of our Dingxi Kingdom! Gifts are not rare, a great hero, are you rare?

"

When she said this, little stars twinkled in Datou's eyes, and her words were full of admiration for Xin You. She repeated the old words and said again, "My lord, you often tell my maid the stories of brave and fighting heroes in the past. General

Isn’t that the kind of person he is?”

Seeing that Linghu Yan was not moving at all, she was so anxious that she was almost incoherent and said, "My lord, the general has a great victory over the teacher. The king has ordered Chen Lingjun to be called, and Quhou went out to greet him! Today the general comes home, you, you, how can you not

Go and greet him! Still sitting here without moving! Xiaoxiao, Achou and the others have already gone out to welcome him!"

Linghu Yan snorted and said: "I am the lord! He is a subject of my family, why should I go to welcome him!"

"You, you, what you said!"

Linghuyan turned her face away, not looking at Datou, and said angrily: "If you think he is rare, go and greet him!"

The face he turned away was facing the mirror on the wall.

The person in the mirror seemed to be disdainful, but somehow, Linghuyan saw a little guilt in her own eyes in the mirror.

She thought to herself: "I didn't realize that this ugly guy is quite capable."

Thinking back to the time when she married Xin'er, even though Xin'er had little to say to her on a daily basis, she still cared about her in various aspects such as her diet and daily life. Everything she liked to eat and play with did not need to be said to her every day.

She had everything ready; and she usually entertained her friends and went out to have fun, even in the middle of the night, Xin You never complained, and when she saw her friends, she was always polite and approachable.

Linghu Yan thought in her heart: "The palace said that he is loyal and will not let me be wronged. This is true."

She turned her face away and looked at Da Tou, who was so anxious that his face was twisted into a ball of pain. She bit her lip and thought, "Logically speaking, I should go and greet him. But my punch?"

That punch was thrown at her. Although it was not the intention, the punch was already punched. Linghuyan did not regret it, but if she punched her again now, would it appear that she was apologizing? She was so beautiful.

Lord, you can’t afford to lose this little face!

She ran away from trouble and thought as if giving up on herself: "Ah! Forget it, I still won't welcome it!"

That night, the sound of footsteps was heard on the porch outside Linghuyan's house.

Linghuyan, who was not asleep, immediately got her head out of the quilt, widened her eyes, nervously grabbed the edge of the brocade quilt embroidered with mandarin duck patterns, listened carefully, and listened to the footsteps, which were steady and steady.

Majestic, like the sound of drums on the battlefield.

In Linghu Yan's tender chest, her heartbeat was beating like a drum.

"Big head, big head!"

Datou, who was sleeping outside, responded confusedly: "Master?"

"There's a thief!"

"What thief?"

"listen!"

A clear voice came from outside the house: "Are you asleep?"

Most of the sleepiness disappeared from her head, and she was delighted, jumped off the bed, and opened the door with a smile on her face.
Chapter completed!
