    After entering November, the weather becomes increasingly cold.  The autumn water is slightly cool, and the mottled colors gradually turn yellow, wrinkled, withered and desolate.  Autumn leaves fell one after another, flying all over the sky, and together with the flying dust, the sky became gray.  And time became cold and sad in this final dance.

    At this time, although the Wei River in the distance has not yet frozen, the cold wind is blowing against our faces.  Huang Mingyuan and his party, who had come all the way south, reined in the galloping horses here.

    The army returned southward, returning like an arrow.  The army traveled day and night for more than ten days. Along the way, troops kept leaving and returning to the crowds who were eagerly waiting for them.

    After entering Lingzhou, the army passed through the state and counties along the way.  Therefore, every day on both sides of the official road, there are groups of white-haired old people, women in Jingchai and sarong skirts, and young children with yellow hair waiting in groups, each calling for their son to go home.  From time to time there were cheers or cries from the crowd.

    Huang Mingyuan knew that in every cry, there might be a son who died on the battlefield and could never return home, and his death was probably a family.

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan can feel the heavy responsibility on his shoulders even more.  As a general, with thousands of families behind him, he cannot be defeated.

    Everyone was used to seeing you on the battlefield. At this time, he found that when he returned, he saw that the scene of the family who died in the same robe was even more terrible.  The expectations and the despairing tears are often silent but terrifying.

    After the army returning to Beijing passed Jingyang, it was not far from Chang'an.  Except for the imperial guards of the capital led by Yang Guang when he left the capital and the generals who were returning to the capital to receive rewards, all the soldiers from other states had returned to their own states.

    The rewards sent by the imperial court to various armies cannot be distributed to them through the hussar and chariot mansions until after the great rewards are awarded.  Of course, apart from official positions, the officers and soldiers also did not care about the rewards of three melons and two dates.  Anyone who could come back alive from this war would have already made a lot of money.

    Huang Mingyuan and Yang Guang broke up here after they went south to Jingyang.  Yang Guang directly led his generals to continue southward, while Huang Mingyuan asked for leave and detoured to Xiaoguo Military Camp in Jingyang to visit his uncle Huang Jie.

    Huang Mingyuan has been staying in Yangzhou these years, and occasionally travels between Yangzhou and Jiangnan counties on business.  And Huang Jie has been serving as a general in the border areas, so the uncle and nephew rarely see each other.

    Huang Mingyuan was also delighted to see Huang Jie become the commander-in-chief of the Xiaoguo Army.  But because of this, Huang Jie also entered the big muddy pond of Jin Prince's Mansion, and Huang Mingyuan was actually unwilling to do so.  Although Huang Mingxiang hoped to keep his second uncle in Beijing to give him some help, in the past few years, the court's troubles were not outside, and Huang Jie's stay in Chang'an was no less risky than the frontier fortress.  Moreover, Huang Mingyuan is willing to go out on his own, but that doesn't mean that the entire clan will fall into the trap of fighting for position.

    Huang Mingyuan stayed in Jingyang all night, and the uncle and nephew drank in front of the moon until dawn.  Although the uncle and nephew have not seen each other for many years, their blood relationship does not feel strange.

    Looking at the silent guards beside Huang Mingyuan, and then at his extraordinary nephew, Huang Jie couldn't help feeling that this eldest nephew was more talented, more bold and talented than his eldest brother back then, and he was also more shrewd and decisive than his elder brother.  Perhaps what these brothers could not do back then, these children and nephews can do.

    Chang'an is approaching, and Huang Mingyuan cannot stay here any longer.  Early on the next morning, Huang Mingyuan and his party left Jingyang and headed straight to the Weishui Ferry in the south.

    The brigade is poor, and the long groan is forgotten.  The east-flowing Weihe River breaks out of the ancient Guanzhong Plain and nourishes the eight hundred miles of Guanzhong land, making it a chosen place.  And Guanzhong also experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain erosion after the fall of the former Han Dynasty, and the mixture of Hu and Han Dynasties, and it once again glowed with new vitality.

    At the ancient Weihe River ferry, the platform stones along the river have been polished and shined.

    This is the last prosperous time before the Wei River freezes.  The businessmen transporting grain from Lianghuai River to Chang'an were gathering in Chang'an desperately, fearing that one day the river would freeze and they would be blocked halfway.

    Business travelers coming from the west could not line up at the Baqiao Ferry in the east, so clever ship merchants headed east to cross the river at the ancient Xianyang Ferry.

    Although it is not as prosperous as Baqiao Ferry, it is still busy here.  The surging flow of people, the clattering of horse hooves, and the noisy sounds make this place more and more prosperous. The formation of a commercial town must have gone through such a process.

    Not only are there many business travelers here, but it is also the main road from Chang'an to Guanbei.

    From this way to the north is Ganquan, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a good place to escape the heat in summer and maintain health in winter.  Therefore, there are many people coming and going between here and Chang'an, and there are always dignitaries and nobles, and from time to time, princes, princes, and grandsons come forward to fight for their way.

    thisHuang Mingyuan has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he doesn't want to be a hero who eliminates violence and brings peace to the people.  Chang'an is not a big place, and everything is in short supply, but even though there are many officials, only ordinary people dare to take advantage of it.  Although he is not afraid of trouble, he does not want to cause trouble.

    Huang Mingyuan couldn't do those things of bullying men and women, so he ordered his soldiers to charter a large boat and asked them to queue up to wait to cross the river. He then led the others to several restaurants on the ferry.  This is not a collection and storage place for goods coming from the east or west. It is just a diversion point between Baqiao Ferry and Xianyang West Ferry. Therefore, the transportation industry and commerce have not been developed for a long time, and a large-scale grass market has not yet formed.

    But after all, it is a revitalized ferry, and there are still many people stopping here to rest.  Therefore, walking eastward along the ferry, there are still several inns and restaurants, including two brothels.

    Seeing that there are so many people at the ferry today, they are all jammed on the pier. I am afraid it will be difficult to cross the river before evening.

    Huang Mingyuan didn't want to wait under the sun, so he prepared to enter the tavern on one side and rest while waiting.

    Not long after everyone walked east, they saw many luxury vehicles parked on the road in front of a store, and there were servants holding swords at the door.

    Huang Mingyuan took a quick look and looked at the style of the other party's vehicle. He should be a member of a wealthy family.  However, it was not marked and its specific identity could not be identified.  However, although the other party's attendants were all dressed as ordinary servants, the swords they held in their hands were all standard weapons of the Beishen Mansion, and Huang Mingyuan also saw people holding crossbows.

    "In this era, those who can use the standard weapons of the Prefecture and dare to hold a bow and crossbow openly, their identity is probably not simple.

    Huang Mingyuan did not rush in rashly.  This kind of rich and noble family has many rules and taboos.  Moreover, since the other party has a female dependent, there is no need for him to be rude.

    Seeing that the other party was almost blocking the roads in front of several stores, Huang Mingyuan was not ready to go there, so he ordered his men to turn around and go to the first tavern ahead to wait.

    Huang Mingyuan and his group were not wearing armor either.  Everyone was armed with swords and riding horses, and they were all rough warriors.  In the past two days, the government and the army had a great victory, and there were more military academies traveling between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, so Huang Mingyuan and his group did not attract much attention.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
