Chapter 299: Inspection Returns to Camp
Another half month passed, and the repair of the official roads in the three northern states was completely completed.
I saw with my own eyes the official roads in the north connecting with the official roads in the nearby states...
Two originally unrelated roads intertwined and eventually became one complete road.
On this extremely wide road, people threw away their tools, cheered and hugged each other.
The Ministry of Industry official from Kyoto was also crying bitterly at this moment.
They hugged each other, their thin eyes mixed with dust, leaving streaks on their faces.
"I'm home... I can finally go home!"
They really couldn't stay in this damn place for even a day!
All of this was seen by the prince who was standing on the hillside not far away.
The wind was quite strong at the end of July, causing Jiang Jichen's robe to flutter...
"Hey, this place is nice!"
Xie Yunshan, who had finally climbed up, let out a breath, brushed off the dust on his hands, and turned around to support Hu Yan.
The old fox looked down and saw that the bottom of the plain robe was black and dirty.
He frowned, "It would be better if it was cleaner."
General Xie glanced at him and put his arm on his shoulder, looking like a good brother.
"Why are you acting like a girl? If it gets dirty, it gets dirty~"
"Hey, come on..."
He pulled Hu Yan to stand beside the prince.
The three of them stood side by side, looking out over the vast green land, with the official road winding its way from afar like a dragon.
"Hehe~"
The old fox tilted his head, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curved.
This little general's smile is too silly...
"Eh!"
Xie Yunshan bumped Hu Yan's shoulder, his tone unable to conceal his pride, "This official road is all thanks to me!"
"When you erect a monument, be sure to add my name on it!"
Our young General Xie has lost a lot of weight and has become much tanned. The youthful charm between his brows has faded, and now he has more of the majesty and imposingness that a general should have.
It is said that one's face reflects his heart. Perhaps at this moment even he himself did not notice any changes.
Hu Yan thought about it, still speaking venomously, "Young general, you are in your prime, and you care about your reputation?"
Xie Yunshan raised his eyebrows, "That can't be~"
He stretched out his arms, and the movement seemed like he was embracing the wind between heaven and earth.
"Why should I care about what happens after death? I will just live my life to the fullest!"
Only Xie Yunshan's clear voice was heard from the top of the mountain and drifted away with the wind.
"I understand the official story, I'm going to drink wine!!"
Jiang Jichen couldn't bear it any longer, and he stretched out his long arm over Hu Yan in the middle and hit Xie Yunshan on the head.
"oops!"
General Xie squatted down with his head in his hands.
"It's so noisy..."
Jiang Jichen withdrew his hands and put them behind his back, still a dignified prince.
"My lord..."
Guan Yan also climbed up the hillside, revealing half of his head and dangling one hand.
"The young lady wrote in, she has returned to the camp after her inspection!"
"Prepare the horse for this king."
Hu Yan followed, "I haven't been back to the barracks for a long time..."
Even Xie Yunshan, who was grinning, raised his hand tremblingly, "I want to go too!"
Hu Yan raised his eyebrows, "Then who is responsible for the people down there?"
As for the officials from the Ministry of Industry, it’s time to pack them up and send them back to Kyoto…
Three people, six eyes all fell on Guan Yan.
The guard who had finally climbed up took a step back, his mouth twitching.
He shouldn't be coming up.
"Your subordinate...Your subordinate also wants to..."
Under the pressure from the three people, Guan Yan was silent for a moment, and finally said with despair: "I obey your orders..."
Guan Yan appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking: Oh, this is too bullying!
……
Ten miles outside the north city gate,
"I'm coming…"
Xie Yunshan on horseback was a little excited.
This is the first time the little girl leads an army on her own!
He was standing here to welcome her back to the camp, and he felt a little different in his heart.
In fact, Jiang Jichen and Hu Yan had the same thought in their minds at this moment, but they didn't say it.
All I saw was yellow sand all over the sky in the distance, and if I looked carefully I could vaguely make out some overlapping human figures.
The dull sound of horse hooves and footsteps came, like a sudden thunder.
Jiang Jichen tightened his grip on the reins, his muscles tensed...
"Your Highness..." Hu Yan turned his head and looked at him.
"I am actually a little nervous."
Even when he first went to the battlefield, he didn't do so.
Jiang Jichen said stubbornly, "Why should I be nervous? Ah An is coming back soon..."
"Oh." Hu Yan lowered his eyes to look at the reins he was holding tightly, and amusement flashed in his fox eyes.
Forget it, let's save some face for our stubborn prince~
A sharp eagle cry sounded, attracting the attention of the three people.
The sound seemed like a prelude to the appearance of the little girl. The next moment, a white tiger rushed out from the yellow sand carrying the little girl.
The white tiger was covered in soft silver armor, which made it look more majestic. Its paw pads with sharp nails left deep marks on the ground every time it ran.
It seemed to be having a great time, howling a few times as it ran.
As soon as it opened its mouth, the big cat filled its mouth with dirt, and was sticking out its tongue and shaking its head.
Jiang An on its back was wearing a black outfit similar to the black-armored army behind him, and his soft armor shone in the sun.
The little girl leaned forward with her upper body, holding a gun in one hand.
She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes full of awe.
At this moment, Jiang An, regardless of his age, looked like a superior who could look down on the world.
Seeing her so imposing, Hu Yan's eyes brightened, "Your Majesty, look at her, does she look like you who just came back from a victorious battle..."
Jiang Jichen controlled the horse and took a few steps forward, his tone not lacking in pride, "Of course my daughter should look like this!"
Even stronger than him!
When the little girl saw the person waiting for her not far away, a smile appeared in her round eyes.
She raised her red tasseled spear high in her hand, and the commander behind her shouted to the army behind her, "Stop!"
The soldiers on horseback rolled over and knelt on one knee.
All the soldiers said in unison: "Greetings, Commander!"
"Dad~"
Jiang An threw the spear to Zheng Yan and ran towards her father.
The prince picked up his daughter and weighed her out of habit.
Lost weight…
It stinks...
After dozens of days of border patrol, there is no time for the little girl to take a nice bath.
However, the old father does not despise me, and his face is full of indulgence and pampering.
He touched the little girl's head and asked, "Are you tired?"
Jiang An squinted her eyes and smiled, leaning on her father like a young bird returning to its nest, "Not tired!"
Her smile seemed to have the magical power to make everyone around her happy, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Jichen waved to the commanders and said, "Go back to the camp after your inspection. I will give you a day off today!"
"The pigs, sheep and wine will be delivered to the barracks soon."
"Thank you, coach!"
They shouted joyfully, their voices much louder than before.
When the army returned to the camp, the old father held his daughter tightly in his arms.
"Come on, let's go home too."
The little girl shook her head with joy, and did not forget to call the big cat lying there.
"Go home~"
The big cat's eyes lit up, roast chicken!
These days, it is about to vomit from eating so much raw meat!
It had been a long time since they last met, and Jiang An chattered all the way. It seemed that she had a lot of things to share with her father, and also a lot of things to ask.
For example, how is the repair of the official road going?
How is the palace doing lately?
And the eldest princess, are you feeling happy lately?
