Yuan Yuan and Huo Qubing left the palace together and returned to the Guanjun Marquis's Mansion.

Liu Che also left the Pepper Palace.

On the way, His Majesty Emperor Wu frowned slightly and asked the eunuch behind him:

"Tell me... why did that little girl say that she is Princess Yongchang again?"

"The elders in her family...are they planning to rebel?"

The eunuch was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and replied tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, children speak without restraint."

Liu Che also smiled and shook his head.

I feel like I'm really overthinking it.

If he wanted to rebel, why did he give him the gunpowder recipe beforehand?

*

The Guanjun Marquis Mansion on the other side was extremely lively.

Dahuang and his sisters suddenly arrived, and the housekeeper asked people to prepare a lot of raw meat for them to eat.

He squatted aside, looking at the eldest and second youngest drinking goat's milk with a loving face.

The old man couldn't help but sigh: "Time really makes people grow old. In the blink of an eye, Da Huang has a child..."

"I don't know how long I can stay with my master..."

His eyes were slightly red and he tilted his head back to avoid tears.

Suddenly, a piece of date cake was stuffed into his mouth.

It was soft and delicate, with a sweet taste. Before he could react, he couldn't help but start chewing it.

Just as he swallowed it, another small piece of honey cake was stuffed into his mouth.

The old butler almost choked. He turned around and saw the little boy looking at him with concern.

The old man felt relieved and smiled kindly.

He swallowed the cake in his mouth with all his strength and said happily: "I knew it was the young master who came!"

"Earlier, Da Huang and his gang broke into the mansion and were almost injured by the guards. Fortunately, I returned in time..."

Out of the corner of his eye he saw a high-spirited young man not far away. He stood up excitedly and asked, "The general is back in Beijing too?"

He wiped his eyes and said, "Great! Our mansion is really lively today!"

Huo Qubing walked over, touched the little girl's head, and said to her in a gentle voice: "The housekeeper has been thinking about you."

Yuan Yuan looked very proud and made a little heart shape to the old housekeeper.

"I miss the housekeeper Weng Weng too!!!"

The old and the young looked at each other affectionately.

Everything around seemed to have become quiet.

The old butler was moved, but...wait, quiet?

When he turned around, he found that there were only two leopard cubs drinking milk beside him; the leopards, tigers, lions and dogs were all gone.

His head buzzed and he ran to his yard.

"Oh my, my new bed!!!"

Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up, he ran over, picked up the eldest and second child, and happily chased after them.

"Wow, Yuanyuan wants to play too!!!"

Huo Qubing leaned against the corridor and couldn't help smiling.

-

In the afternoon, a lot of food was delivered from the palace.

Liu Che ordered Huo Qubing to have a good rest in his mansion, and he would reward the generals who had made contributions in the northern expedition at the morning court tomorrow.

Huo Qubing took his little kid to roast lamb in the yard.

As soon as the sheep was put on the rack, Huo Qubing's men came over after smelling the scent.

Among them was Zhao Po Nu, whom Yuan Yuan had met before.

Zhao Po Nu grew up among the Xiongnu and later joined the Han army, where his status was always awkward.

This was because the Han army had once made use of the surrendered Hun generals, but later they were betrayed.

The Han generals believed that "those who are not of our race must have different hearts", and from then on they were very resistant to the Xiongnu generals.

Zhao Po Nu, who had a Xiongnu background, did not have an easy life in the army.

But he was so lucky to meet Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing was the commander-in-chief of this dynasty who was most daring and adept at using the Huns.

When he was promoted to General of Cavalry and was able to lead troops in battle independently, a large number of senior generals from the Xiongnu gathered under his command.

Later, Huo Qubing fought in the Battle of Hexi, and fought in five countries in six days. He was not at all confused and never got lost. Instead, he defeated the main force of the Xiongnu.

The Hun generals under his command made great contributions.

Zhao Po Nu deeply felt that there was no other coach in the world as broad-minded as Guan Jun Hou.

He is a well-deserved great general, whose name will go down in history.

The three Huang brothers had all fought in battles with Uncle Huo before and were very familiar with the generals under his command. They soon began to have fun together.

Zhao Po Nu squatted beside Yuan Yuan, stretching his neck to watch the little boy coaxing the two cubs to sleep.

"Given time, they will be two more powerful generals."

Now, no one in the Han army dared to underestimate the beasts of Marquis Guanjun. After all, they had made great achievements on the battlefield.

Zhao Po Nu tapped the little boss's forehead and said softly, "Grow up well, and in a few years, join me on the battlefield to make achievements."

Then he looked at Yuan Yuan, and a sincere smile appeared on his rough face.

"Xiao Yuanyuan, I ate the military rations you sent me, and the life-saving medicine you gave to the Marquis... also saved my life."

"In the future in Chang'an, as long as I, Zhao Po Nu, am here, no one can surpass me and bully you."

Yuan Yuan was so touched!

"Then let's go to the palace together and beat up Uncle Emperor Liu!"

"He said I was short and fat!!!"

The little boy took out a sign from his pocket and said, "This is what Uncle Emperor Liu gave me. Take it with you and we can go to Weiyang Palace right away!"

Zhao Po Nu's expression remained unchanged.

After a while, he raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his face:

"How about... wait until I have accumulated some military merits for you, and then I can talk about supporting you?"

The others had been holding their breath to listen to what the two were doing, but when they heard this, they all burst into laughter.

"Po Nu, are you bragging?"

"You are still young, young master, the Marquis will protect you, you should straighten your waist first!"

Yuan Yuan looked around, then immediately imitated the generals and laughed with his belly sticking out.

Zhao Po Nu hung his head in shame.

At this moment, a plate of roasted lamb suddenly appeared in front of him.

Looking up, he saw Huo Qubing with a gentle look on his face.

"You just need to do what you are supposed to do. As for the rest, even if the sky falls, as long as the Huo family doesn't fall, I will take care of it for you."

His voice is full of inclusive power, which makes people unable to help but be convinced.

The eyes of several generals turned red.

The housekeeper had already been secretly wiping away tears.

The young man who was full of vigor and vitality and wanted to go to the battlefield has now grown into a qualified commander.

The butler felt that even if he died at this moment, he would have no regrets.

Yuan Yuan also tilted his head and looked at Huo Qubing.

She felt that Brother Huo had become different this time!

It reminded her of her brother Ying Zheng.

When he was young, Brother Ying Zheng always played with her, but later he succeeded to the throne and became king, killing all the bad guys, and slowly, he started to just stand aside and watch her play.

It turned out that in a place where she couldn't see, her brothers had grown up secretly without her knowing.

Their hearts and eyes are filled with so many things that children cannot understand.

Yuan Yuan suddenly felt a little sad.

Just as he was about to look up and recite a poem, suddenly, a piece of roasted lamb was pushed in front of him.

The little kid opened his mouth and ate it with a "ah-wu".

"Wow...it's so delicious!!!"

Huo Qubing leaned over and whispered, "The charred parts have been cut off for Po Nu, the rest are all good."

Yuan Yuan covered his chubby face, chewed something, but looked at Zhao Po Nu with sly eyes.

Zhao Po Nu: “…”
