Chapter 772 A Very Old Man
Emperor Ruining's imperial decree came fairly quickly, and arrived at Jialan Pass within a few days.The imperial decree greatly praised the victory of the Darui army in this battle against the barbarians, and at the same time ordered Pei Zimo to lead the Ningzhou army to return to the court.

As for the Northwest Army, except for the necessary troops left behind to guard Jialan Pass, the rest came from there and went back.

Of course, the main generals of the Northwest Army will still go back to the capital to discuss their achievements together with Pei Zimo.

As for the defeat of the Red Makeup Camp, the imperial decree did not say anything about it, it only said that the wounded soldiers of the Red Makeup Camp were allowed to return together with the rest of the army, and that they could return to Beijing after recovering from their wounds.

However, he also ordered Yang Le'er to follow Pei Zimo's army and return to the capital quickly.

Emperor Rui Ning was not stingy with the rewards that should be given, and they all followed the imperial decree, and they would arrive in about three days. Along with those rewards, there was also a batch of medicinal materials with the main effect of clearing away heat and heat. When submitting the great victory report, it was also written in the memorial.

Although Qingzhu doesn't know much about military affairs, she also knows that after the victory, most of them will return to the court, but now that they are in ambush, the soldiers in armor have to rush under the scorching sun, and the most fearful thing is heat stroke. It is to be prevented.

Fortunately, the Ningzhou Army is the direct descendant of Emperor Ruining, and Emperor Ruining loved them very much, so naturally he was not stingy.Therefore, the medicinal materials are well prepared, and everyone is allowed to pack up and prepare first. After the medicinal materials arrive, they will leave for the court.

In addition, Emperor Ruining also specially ordered Pei Zimo in the imperial decree to bring the barbarian princess Wugu Xuanling and the barbarian wizards who were still in Jialan Pass back to Beijing together, and the imperial decree specially emphasized "treating each other with courtesy" the meaning of.At the same time, Emperor Ruining issued an imperial decree to appease and show grace to Wugu Xuanling.

Not long after the imperial decree arrived, soldiers guarding the wall at Jialan Pass reported that an old man as old as a withered vine was shouting outside the closed gate.

Pei Zimo and a group of guards from Jialan Pass were going to accompany the envoy sent by the emperor to deliver the imperial decree. Qing Zhu guessed that the legendary barbarian great wizard had arrived. Thinking that there was nothing wrong with him, he planned to take a look.

Yang Le'er was too lazy to deal with the envoys, so she simply pulled Qing Zhu and wanted to go to the gate of the city with her.

The two rode horses together, took a few guards, and went to the gate of Guancheng together. In addition, Qingzhu sent someone to inform Gu Yue.

Soon, the group arrived in the outer city.

After going up to the wall and looking down, it turned out to be an old man with snow-white hair, beard and eyebrows, who was about to wither, with a small crown made of unknown material on his head. , wrapped in a long linen cloth, standing alone outside the Guancheng.

"Do you know who is here?" After seeing the old man outside, Qingzhu looked at the general guarding the city and asked.

The general guarding the city shook his head, and said with a little embarrassment: "The old man yelled a few barbarian words outside, and he spoke very fast. Those of us here who can barely understand some barbarian words don't know that at all." Listen to what he said."

"We shouted down, but the old man didn't answer us."

"There shouldn't be any danger for such an old man. The sun is about to turn poisonous. General, why don't you order someone to open and close the door of Jialan and let the old man come in? After all, it's so wary." It's not safe for a tall old man to use a hanging basket."

The general guarding the city also knew that after the annihilating battle against the barbarian army, it was unlikely that there would be any war at Jialan Pass, and what Qingzhu said was right, the old man really didn't seem like a What a dangerous person, so he didn't refuse Qingzhu's request at that time, and directly ordered people to hang up the gate of the closed city and open it wide.

In this book, based on the principle of respecting the elderly, Qing Zhu went down to the top of the city with Yang Le'er, then walked out the gate and went in front of the old man.

Once in front of the old man, Qing Zhu bowed slightly, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, are you the great barbarian wizard?"

Qingzhu's words, naturally no one answered him.

Qing Zhu was not surprised either, looked at the old man and smiled again: "The little girl's surname is Xia, and she was lucky to meet the little princess Wuguxuanling. I wonder if the great wizard came here for the little princess?"

I don't know if the old man understood Qing Zhu's words. When Qing Zhu said the words 'Wu Gu Xuan Ling', the old man's eyes, like those of an abandoned ancient well, finally had a slight fluctuation. After a while, the old man nodded slightly .

Naturally, Qingzhu didn't know what the old man meant by nodding, she could only follow her own thinking, thinking that the old man understood what she said, so she smiled and said: "Since the great wizard is here for the little princess, please come in." Well, just right, let the little girl take the big wizard to see Princess Xuanling."

As Qingzhu said, she stretched out her hand and made a gesture of leading the way.

The old man nodded again, then followed the direction led by the green bamboo, and stepped into the Jialan pass.

When the old man walked through the city gate under the guidance of Qingzhu, Yang Le'er patted his head inexplicably, then quietly pulled Qingzhu, and whispered in Qingzhu's ear, "Hey, Qingzhu, what do you say?" Is this old man really a great barbarian wizard?"

Qing Zhu didn't understand why Yang Le'er would suddenly ask such a question. She glanced at Yang Le'er in confusion, and said in a normal voice: "Huh? What's wrong with the real thing, what's wrong with the fake one? Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

Seeing Qing Zhu like this, Yang Le'er tugged at Qing Zhu's sleeves again, and smiled dryly at the old man, then gave Qing Zhu a look, and said in a low voice, "Hush your voice."

"Oh." Qingzhu nodded, lowered her voice slightly, and replied after looking at Yang Le'er.

Yang Le'er was very depressed about Qingzhu's 'not on the road', couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Qingzhu, and then said in a low voice: "I've heard people say that the great wizards of the barbarians are all wise men. He is the smartest person of the barbarians and the spiritual leader of the barbarians, you think... would he run over foolishly and throw himself into the trap?"

Although the old man didn't seem to hear Yang Le'er and Qing Zhu talking, and kept walking tremblingly and cautiously, Qing Zhu still smiled at him embarrassedly, and then turned to look at Yang Le'er, wrinkled slightly Frowning, he asked softly, "So?"

"It's nothing, I'm just weird." Yang Leer stuck out her tongue as she spoke.Even if it was her, when facing such an old man, she couldn't take him as a prisoner or something. After all, he was too old, as if he would die suddenly when he walked halfway.
