As they were speaking, after welcoming Yuan Ping's thousand cavalrymen into the city, Hu Chen led the way and brought the captured man to the government office in the city.

I will temporarily leave the cavalry to my subordinates and say no more.

Once we entered the yamen, tea, wine and fruit were served in the front hall.

Because they did not expect that person to arrive at this time, the banquet had to be arranged at a last minute.

Hu Chen was also busy greeting everyone, and his subordinates went to prepare the wine and food for the welcoming party.

Hululu——

The two of them followed to the table. Hu Chen led Yuan Ping to sit down, and personally poured a cup of tea, no matter what it was, and handed it to Yuan Ping.

"Oh, it makes me feel so sad!"

"You guys are the ones who were raised by your own mothers. Minglu and Qigang are chasing you around in the east, so you're so nervous."

"It saves a lot of trouble."

"Unlike me, wandering around Yanzhou alone."

"I've worked so hard, but there's still no significant results."

"You don't know, it's not just one person's job to be in charge of the logistics of the front line and to be both the father and the mother."

"How can you be so cool!"

Hu Chen was full of complaints and looked like he deserved a beating. He was acting like a grandson in front of his brothers, intentionally showing off.

Although Yuan Ping is a bit stubborn, he is not stupid.

Then he glanced at her and started talking in a choking manner again.

"Humph!"

"Stop it, ah, stop it right now!"

"Why are you pretending to be so serious with me? Huh?!"

"It's true that you are the only one holding up Yanzhou in the south, but you have killed quite a few people, right?!"

"Qi Gang told me everything before coming here!"

"Two camps!" Yuan Ping pointed out as he spoke, stared blankly, and raised two fingers.

"General Li, why are you becoming more and more cunning now?"

"It's just two full camps, look how you're showing off."

"When we entered the city just now, I saw the main force forming a battle array. Was it yours?"

"What about the other one?"

"You put it in your pocket secretly? You hid it, afraid that I would see it?"

"Aren't we going to Shangqiu, Henan together in a few days? Don't you think you are being superfluous?"

"Why? You can't leave any one of these two battalions here?!"

"Let me tell you, Qi Gang has no way of knowing this. Even though Xiaochuan is far away in Nanjing, he must know everything very well."

"You'd better stop doing this job of taking off your pants and farting!"

Yuan Ping looked at him and made fun of him, making sarcastic remarks and telling him the truth.

In fact, it was also meant to warn Hu Chen not to act on his own and disobey military orders.

Upon hearing this, Hu Chen knew his intention and hurriedly tried to prove his mistake.

"Hey, this, this"

"Look at what you said. I'm Hu Chen. I've been hiding this from you!"

"It's not about intentionally avoiding the other camp."

"You didn't see it, that's because the military order was urgent. My subordinate Niu Kuisheng, damn it, he ran too far away, the team was in a mess, and didn't come back for assembly, that's why you didn't see it!"

"Look at you, you're actually being particular about me!"

As he spoke, Hu Chen gave his explanation and quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing here."

"Of course, you are close to Qi Gang, so I think you will get the news earlier than I do."

"Uh, well, I heard that at the beginning of next month, General Xiao, oh, now he should be called Duke."

"I heard that the emperor has granted the marriage, and he will hold the wedding at the beginning of next month!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the title of duke is unparalleled at such a young age. Soon, she will become the emperor's sister-in-law again!"

"It will be even more precious in the future!"

"Old Li is happy to see this, but he's also very jealous! Huh?! Hahaha."

"We don't care if others know."

"But you and I, we all got here under General Xiao, even though we are a little far away now."

"But since everyone knows the letter, we should still be more thoughtful about the gifts! Ah?!" "Brother Yuan, I really can't tell anyone about this matter. It's just that you, Yuan Ping, happened to come here. I want to ask you, how are you preparing?"

"If there is something special, you should let me know as soon as possible, so that I, a rough man who has never experienced such a situation, won't make a fool of myself again."

"We all understand the general. No matter what, we won't take it too seriously."

"The key is, given his current status, we as his subordinates should either not send him or send him to Nanjing in a way that will not be embarrassing."

"Don't let outsiders see it. It will only make people laugh. This is not a good thing."

"What do you think?!"

Although Li Huchen looks big and strong, he is a reckless person.

But the details of human nature require one to pay attention to one's own way.

Hearing these words, Yuan Ping frowned, showing a bit of disdain.

"kindness?"

"Hey, me"

"Brother Huchen, you, you are really good!"

"Your brother is smarter than me!"

"I'm finally convinced."

Yuan Ping teased, looking impatient.

It is obvious that he does not take this matter seriously, or even worse, he even feels rejected.

However, Hu Chen ignored this and insisted on continuing.

"Oh, what's the point of being convinced?"

"I am Hu Chen, and I am not that kind of flatterer."

"If it were someone else, even if it was the emperor's wedding, I wouldn't join in the fun."

"The key is, isn't this General Xiao's own business?"

"Whether I send him a gift or not, it adds to the joy and makes me feel better. I am happy for him, right?!"

Keep nagging Li Huchen.

"Well, if you don't want to say it, I'll say it first."

"Here, I have a large nanmu screen with auspicious dragon and phoenix carvings, which just suits my needs!"

"If this thing is in the hands of our team, it will be wasted. At most, it can be used as firewood."

"But if it is transported to the rear, that will be different."

"I was thinking, it's a coincidence, so I'll give it to the general as a gift to my loyal subject. What do you think?!"

Hu Chen hesitated and then changed the method to ask whether it was appropriate.

But how could Yuan Ping understand all this? He just heard the rumors and went to find out the origins and question them.

"how?"

"Humph!"

"Tell me, which wealthy family did you steal this from?" Yuan Ping's words were enough to choke someone to death.

"Hey!"

"What are you talking about?"

"When did I, Li Huchen, ever rob people of their property?"

"Don't spread rumors!"

"This was given to me by the richest man in Yanzhou City."

"Don't believe it yet."

"Because a few days ago, I was fighting bandits in the mountains and rescued his son from the bandit leader."

"The local gentry offered his family heirloom to show his gratitude."

"When I looked at it, I didn't take it seriously and didn't want it."

"But when I thought about the Duke's wedding, I figured it out and decided to keep him."

"I didn't break any rules!"

"This"

Hu Chen paused, waiting for Yuan Ping's opinion to see if he had any constructive suggestions.

After comparing it, Jin Yuanping had no choice but to sigh and tell everyone what he was thinking.
