We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

"So good."

Li Che smiled and pinched the little white bear's paw, and the latter made an "Aoao" sound, which sounded like the sound of nature in his ears.

These hundreds of brave Sauron warriors can be regarded as hundreds of special forces, and they are good at attacking cities and conquering territories.

Not to mention a soft and adorable polar bear.

When this guy grows up, he will be a real beast. Even the two Siberian tigers, Dasong and Xiaosong, may not be his match.

Li Che was in a good mood, and he liked Yi Yaxi and Ji Taihan even more, so he asked:

"Yi Yaxi, do you want to go to Daqing with me?"

"Your Highness means..."

"The battle here is over. I will be returning to the capital soon. I would like to take the Solon tribe with me as my escort. What do you think?"

Hearing Li Che's words, Yi Yaxi felt a little excited.

As the only educated and sensible person in the Solon tribe, he naturally yearned for Daqing.

There were no books in the Solon Khanate, and there were few books in the Khitan and Shiwei peoples either.

This was the case for all East Asian countries during this period. The word "China" first appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty, meaning the central country.

China is the only cultural exporter in East Asia, and Japan, Korea, the steppes, and South Vietnam have all been deeply influenced.

The Greater China cultural circle is making trouble with you?

Yi Yaxi had read several classics from the Central Plains and had longed to visit Daqing. The imperial capital of Daqing was a political and cultural center, and was like a holy place to him.

"I...your subjects will all obey your Highness's orders." Yi Yaxi bowed and responded.

Li Che smiled and nodded: "Go, pack up, we will set off tomorrow."

. . . . . .

The next morning, Li Che walked out of the land of tenderness.

His face is flushed and he looks full of energy.

As they reached the door, Qiu Bai immediately followed with his personal guards and whispered, "Your Highness, are you going to take your wife with you when you leave today?"

Yan had no name or status, so Qiu Bai could not call her princess, so he had to call her by a general title.

Li Che said angrily: "Why bring her along? Are you going to have a little drama in front of the King of Goryeo? I don't have that habit."

Qiu Bai: ???

I don’t understand a word your Highness is saying.

"Take her back to Chaoyang City and hand her over to Uncle Yang. Just make good arrangements for her."

Yan had no emotional foundation with Li Che. Although she was quite sensible, her status destined her to be a concubine at most.

In that case, there is no need to bring him before my father.

After leaving the palace, the team that was to escort Li Che back to Beijing had been waiting for a long time.

Five hundred personal guards, three hundred Sauron soldiers, one hundred divine machine battalions, and one hundred armored cavalry.

Together with more than a thousand Fengguo cavalry, the total force was more than two thousand people.

As for the generals, Huo Duanxiao, Wang Sanchun, Qiubai, Hu Qiang, Qin Jing and others accompanied him, as well as Yiyaxi and Jitaihan from the Solon tribe.

Oh, there is another prisoner, the former King of Goryeo, Lee Woo!

This time he returned to the capital with him, so that he could dance to entertain his stepfather, the emperor, and all the ministers in the court.

The defense of Feng State was fully entrusted to He Conglong and Jie An, while government affairs were handled by Zhuge Zhe and Qian Bin.

The various systems of Fengguo are already quite complete, and even without me as the leader, they can still stay on the right track.

Qiu Bai saw the long line and looked worried: "Your Highness, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Li Che turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty's decree clearly states that each vassal prince may not be accompanied by more than 300 people. You are bringing back 2,000 people, which is far beyond the limit."

Li Che looked at Qiu Bai strangely and sighed helplessly: "You kid, you've been with me for so long, why haven't you made any progress?"

"Can't we be flexible? Three hundred plus seventeen hundred equals two thousand, doesn't it?"

"Ah?" Qiu Bai was confused. "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Stupid!" Li Che knocked Qiu Bai's head and looked at Huo Duanxiao beside him, "Zhengze, you tell him."

Huo Duanxiao smiled and coughed twice, "Don't worry, Commander Qiu."

"The troops escorting His Highness back to the capital indeed only consisted of 300 men. As for the remaining 1,700 men, they were the ones escorting the King of Goryeo back to the capital."

"We won a great victory by destroying a nation and captured the King of Goryeo alive. It makes sense to send more troops to escort him back to the capital to announce the good news, right?"

Qiu Bai was dumbfounded.

When it comes to confusing right and wrong and playing word games, it’s you intellectuals who are the ones to do it!

"But......"

"No buts." Li Che said impatiently, "We are clearly two different teams. We just set out at the same time, happened to walk together on the road, and finally happened to arrive in the imperial capital together. What's the problem?"

Qiu Bai was confused and immediately shut up.

Li Che smiled slightly and got on his horse.

Prince Yan had already made instructions, and this time the emperor summoned all the princes back to the capital, which might have a deeper meaning.

Why can't I be fully prepared? One more soldier at my disposal means more peace of mind.

Not to mention that among all the princes, except Prince Yan, the other princes were more or less hostile towards the original owner.

As for whether Emperor Qing will blame him for this matter?

It doesn't matter. I am now a prince, which is the highest title I can get. I have also made many contributions this year.

Now that he has conquered Goryeo, his achievement in destroying a country is so great that it surpasses not only his own but also all the other kings.

If I don't make any mistakes, won't it make things difficult for my cheap father?

The team set out on the journey back to Beijing.

More than two thousand people, each with three horses, plus a prison cart, marched out of Liujing City in a mighty procession.

We advanced at full speed and soon arrived at Liaoyang City.

Li Che stayed here for a day and met with **, expressing his appreciation for his decisive action in rescuing Mudi City.

** was indeed a talented general. He garrisoned Liaoyang City for half a year and made it impregnable.

Today, Liaoyang City is definitely the strongest city in Fengtian after Chaoyang City and Liujing. If the Khitan dares to attack, it will be impossible to take it without 200,000 to 300,000 troops.

The next stop after leaving Liaoyang City is Beizhen City.

The general of Beizhen City was Li Leshi, formerly known as Dunzi.

This grassroots general who climbed up step by step from the bottom now has the demeanor of a qualified commander.

Li Che gave him some encouragement and promised to transfer him back to the Fengtian Army in a few months.

Now that Beizhen City is located in the heart of Feng State, there is no need to heavily guard it.

The next stop after Beizhen City is Chaoyang City.

Li Che only stayed in Chaoyang City for one day. Everything in the city was normal, and the construction of Fengguo University was in full swing.

After entrusting Zhuge Zhe and others with some things, the team left Chaoyang City and headed towards Shanhaiguan.
