Chapter 287: Exile the hero’s sister-in-law 60
The border crisis was resolved, the Huns were defeated, and the biggest contributor was Liu Zong—he was still alive.
Cause an uproar in the capital.
The emperor immediately issued an order to the border and ordered the two brothers Liu Jing and Liu Zong to pursue the victory and completely defeat the Huns.
Not long after, the Hun King was beaten so hard that he had to beg for mercy, hoping that Dazhou would give them a way to survive without killing them all. The news came that the emperor and ministers were very proud, and after discussion, they agreed to the Hun King's request, but asked him to ask Da Zhou for help in the future. Zhou bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister, and every year he paid tribute to Zhou, including cattle, sheep, horses and gold.
And sent a prince to follow Liu Jing and Liu Zong to the capital as a hostage.
The King of the Xiongnu was killed by the two brothers of the Liu family, and his subjects were also killed and injured numerous times. They complained and had to agree in frustration.
The Liu family were very excited when they heard that Liu Jing and Liu Zong were back.
They have no interest in all the entertainment in the capital. They are counting the days every day. Lin Zhi is also teaching Liu Mingzhu to call "Daddy". They are in a good mood. They originally thought that they will be like the plot, after Liu Jing returns to Beijing. Liu Zongcai will return to Beijing with the defense plan, meet with His Majesty, and then together they will completely defeat the Huns.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zong actually revealed his identity in Yanguan this time in front of the Xiongnu and Dazhou, and even gave the second prince a sword in the chest.
But this method is indeed the most heroic and appropriate.
There will be no doubt about his identity, and no one dares to talk about his collaboration with the enemy. However, he is not a public person. He does this just for her, her children and the Liu family.
A month later, Liu Jing and Liu Zong returned to the capital with their second prince. On that day, the city gate was crowded with people, and the teahouses on both sides were also full of people, who craned their necks to look down.
The city gate opened, and a long team came in from outside the city, with Liu Zong and Liu Jing riding on their horses.
Both men were wearing black and red general robes, with tall and straight postures and firm and steady eyes. The people could not help but cheer and call them 'General Liu'.
The emperor had already absolved the Liu family of their crimes, so Liu Zong was still a general.
The two looked to both sides, subconsciously looking for the Liu family, and soon found the Liu family standing outside the crowd. Liu Yang tried his best to wave to them, shouting "Second Brother" and "Third Brother" loudly.
When Mother Liu saw her second son, she was so excited that she covered her mouth and kept crying.
Liu Zong's eyes were also red, and then he looked to his mother's side and saw Lin holding the child and looking at him quietly with a smile. His heart moved, and the two looked at each other.
Ling Zhi lowered her head and said something to Xiao Mingzhu. The little guy immediately waved to him and opened his mouth not knowing what he was saying.
He tightened his grip on the reins and wished he could go over now.
But they had to go to the palace to report to the emperor first. At the same time, he had to explain clearly to the suspicious Majesty what he had come back from the dead and what he had done in the Huns. They could only reluctantly follow the team. Far.
Liu Jing also turned back and nodded to them as he walked.
Behind them was the second prince with a fierce appearance and deep eyebrows, sitting in a simple carriage. However, his lips were pale at the moment, and he looked sickly.
This boy was lucky enough to survive. He was spared a life, but he was thrown to the Central Plains as a hostage by the furious King of the Huns. It was miserable.
At this time, a face was staring at Liu Zong, full of hatred.
The people immediately threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at him and cursed him. The second prince had to lower his head under the eaves and could only grit his teeth and endure.
Ling Zhi and others began to return home at this time.
Two days ago, the emperor had ordered the general's palace to be returned. They moved back and waited in the hall. The concierge and the mother-in-law were both curious about what the second young master looked like.
Many people came to express condolences and join in the fun at the gate of the General's Mansion.
It was not until evening that the sound of horse hooves came from the gate.
The porter shouted: "Second and Third Young Masters are back home!" Liu's mother immediately got up and walked out quickly. She hurried to the door. Liu Zong and Liu Jing had already dismounted and handed their horses to the porter. When they saw Liu Zong, tears flowed from Liu's mother's eyes, and she shouted: "Zong'er!"
Liu Zong walked over and knelt down: "Mother, my unfilial son Liu Zong is back." He kowtowed deeply.
Mother Liu rushed to hold him and cried loudly, with a sad voice, completely regardless of her identity as a high-ranking lady. Her grief when she heard her son died in the battle turned into cries of grief.
"Second brother." Liu Yang wiped his tears and couldn't help crying.
Everyone cried.
Even Liu Mingzhu looked like she was about to cry when she felt the sad atmosphere.
After a long time, Liu Zong and Liu Jing helped Mother Liu to stand up. Mother Liu wiped her tears, turned around and said with a smile: "Quick, Zong'er, look at the pearl, this is your daughter!"
Liu Zong then looked towards Lin Zhi and his daughter, and saw her looking at his little baby in confusion, fair and cute.
Lin Zhi lowered her head and said to little Mingzhu: "Call me daddy."
The little guy looked at the strange man curiously, and shouted in a sweet voice: "Daddy."
Liu Zong sighed deeply, He walked over and touched the little baby's head. The force was gentle. This was his daughter who he only had time to take a look at on the day of delivery. She had grown so big, and he felt sour and full of emotions in his heart.
Looked up at Lin Zhi: "Zhi Zhi."
Ling Zhi had a smile on her face: "Just come back."
Liu Zong wanted to say something, but he just nodded slightly in front of everyone. When Liu Yang called him 'second brother' and then smiled and praised, 'Growing up and becoming a big girl,' Liu Yang suddenly felt shy and happy.
A group of people prepared to enter the house.
Liu Jing walked to Lin Zhi: "I brought my second brother back."
Ling Zhi turned around and looked at him, and found that he was darker and thinner, but his eyes were particularly bright, and he was still tall. It has risen a lot, and the brothers are almost tall. He just had an unkempt beard and a slovenly look. He looked older than Liu Zong and said with a smile: "Thank you very much. Your second brother is very grateful to you."
This time Liu Jing also acted much more decisively and neatly. Knowing that Liu Zong was alive, he was not as forward-thinking as in the plot, and in order to get his second brother back early, he also fought very quickly.
The war that originally took two years to end ended in less than a year before the Huns were successfully repulsed.
He works really hard.
Liu Jing smiled and was in a particularly good mood.
Everyone entered the room and sat down. Lin Zhi held the child and sat down on the left side of the chair. Liu Zong sat down next to her, and his daughter also came into his arms.
His movements seemed smooth, but upon closer inspection, his expression was stiff, for fear of hurting his daughter by using too much force.
The little guy was also held by him obediently. He was not afraid of people at all. He lay in his father's arms and looked up curiously. His cute and cute look made people's hearts melt. He looked a little bored and even reached out to pick Liu Zong's armor.
Liu Zong looked indulgent, with a gentle smile in his eyes.
Mother Liu had already collected her emotions and asked about the situation of Liu Jing and Liu Zong, the situation at the border, and the hardships of returning to Beijing, etc. After asking all the questions and knowing that everything went well for them, she was afraid that the two of them would They were tired from the journey, so they quickly asked them to go back and rest, and then have dinner together.
Ling Zhi and Liu Zong's family of three said goodbye to Liu Yang and Liu Jing in the main courtyard and headed to the courtyard.
