Chapter 1323
West of the Taiye Pool, a large team of people was slowly heading towards Chang'an City.
The team was mainly composed of cavalry and carriages, with thousands of cavalry escorting hundreds of carriages, forming a team of thousands of people.
Almost two maids were sitting on the left and right of every carriage.
Although it was already August, the temperature around Chang'an was still scorching. The curtains and windows of the carriages were all open, and one could faintly see that the people sitting in the carriages separated by light gauze were all female family members.
Escorting the large team from Jixian were the brothers Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng.
After returning from the Western Regions last time, only Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng accompanied Duan Yu back, while the remaining generals all returned from the Western Regions leading troops.
However, when heading to Hedong Commandery, Duan Yu did not take Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng, but left the two brothers in Jixian.
Because Li Ru had transferred Chen Qingan, Duan Yu left Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng in Jixian to protect his family.
This time, all the family members had migrated from Jixian to Chang'an, so the brothers Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng naturally acted as guards.
When the team arrived nearby, Zhao Yun, who was at the very front, reined in his warhorse and saw Duan Yu walking towards them, and the whole team slowly stopped.
After the first carriage stopped, the carriages following behind also stopped slowly, and Duan Yu's family members got off the carriages one by one.
The leader was undoubtedly Dong Yi, who was dressed in a light purple robe with a red gauze coat over it, dignified and beautiful, holding Duan Mu in her arms.
"Daddy... Daddy... hug."
Duan Mu, who could already clearly say "Daddy" and was wearing small flower clothes, opened his arms towards Duan Yu.
"Mu'er, be good, don't disturb Daddy, your sister is still here, you have to know how to let your sister," Dong Yi said softly to little Duan Mu in her arms.
Little Duan Mu retracted his arms, biting a finger and looking at his mother.
Behind Dong Yi, Diao Chan held Duan Chen and walked quickly two steps to Dong Yi's side.
"Sister, sister..."
Seeing Duan Chen, who was like a small porcelain doll in Diao Chan's arms, little Duan Mu's face was filled with a childlike smile, calling out to little Duan Chen.
Seeing his son and daughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Duan Yu laughed loudly and stepped forward quickly, and Da Hei and Xiao Hei, who had grown up with little Duan Mu and little Duan Chen, also surrounded Dong Yi and Diao Chan, frolicking and whimpering in low voices.
"Yi'er, Chan'er, you have worked hard."
Duan Yu took his son and daughter from the arms of the two women, holding one in each arm.
Little Duan Mu and little Duan Chen giggled in Duan Yu's arms, hugging Duan Yu's head and taking the initiative to rub their small faces against him.
Behind the two women, Su He also came up holding Duan An, who was one year younger than Duan Mu and Duan Chen.
In addition, Zhen Jiang, Zhang Ning, Liu Xiu, Bian Shi, and Andi Luoga also walked towards the carriage one after another and arrived in front of Duan Yu.
In the distance, Wang Yi, the commander of the Yuanwei Camp who protected the female family members, was watching the scene in front from afar.
Behind her were two more carriages.
Sitting in the carriages were Ding Shi and Xun Cai, who had special identities.
Xun Cai, who was holding her sleeping daughter, looked at Duan Yu, who was reunited with his family in the distance, and then looked at Wang Yi, whose back looked a bit lonely, sighed slightly and shook her head.
After a brief greeting with his wife and children, he had Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng send his wife and children to Chang'an City.
North of the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City was the mansion of Huo Guang, the first powerful minister of the Western Han Dynasty.
Duan Yu had not yet had time to build a new Marquis of Ji mansion, so he just simply tidied up Huo Guang's mansion to serve as a temporary residence.
After a group of wives and children entered Chang'an from the Xi'an Gate, a young man who had been standing behind the crowd bowed to Duan Yu.
The young man was wearing a black robe.
The robe was embroidered with dragon-shaped totems in gold thread, the sleeves were wide, and a red belt was tied around his waist, with a dragon-patterned jade pendant and a long sword hanging from the belt.
Seeing Duan Yu looking over, the young man bowed to Duan Yu: "Master."
Duan Yu smiled slightly, walked up, and reached out to pat Liu Bian on the shoulder.
"You've grown taller and stronger. It seems that your Highness has been very diligent during these days in Liangzhou."
Duan Yu's unsparing praise made a smile of being recognized appear on Liu Bian's face.
"Student will strictly follow Master's teachings and dare not forget," Liu Bian replied softly.
Duan Yu nodded with a smile, then took Liu Bian's hand.
Not far away, a team of hundreds of heavy cavalry with bright armor and a murderous aura was galloping towards the two of them.
In the cavalry team, there was also a gorgeous golden carriage pulled by four pure black warhorses.
When the team arrived in front of Duan Yu and Liu Bian, it stopped steadily in front of the two with a sudden stop.
Liu Bian looked up at Duan Yu.
Duan Yu pointed to the carriage and said: "Your Highness, please get in the carriage. I will drive for you and enter Chang'an together."
"From today on, your Highness is the Crown Prince of the Great Han and the heir to the country."
Liu Bian immediately took a half step back and bowed to Duan Yu: "How can this student dare!"
"Master saved me in times of danger, taught me knowledge, and protected me. How can I let Master drive for me? It should be me driving for Master."
Duan Yu laughed and shook his head while saying: "I am already very happy that your Highness has this heart, but your Highness is the Crown Prince of the Great Han and the heir to the country."
"Come on."
Duan Yu took Liu Bian's hand and boarded the carriage, then let him sit behind.
As Liu Bian boarded the carriage, Duan Yu also changed into the Dragon Scale Gold Armor with the help of Chen Qingan and Zhang Liao, and tied the cloak embroidered by Duan Liuqing behind him.
The Dragon Scale Gold Armor reflected dazzling golden light under the sunlight.
The strong and tall body stood behind the four warhorses like a war god supporting the broken sky.
As the carriage started, the cloak behind Duan Yu fluttered in the wind.
South Gate of Chang'an City.
The Liangzhou Army, wearing black armor and holding weapons, extended from the main south gate, Anmen, to outside the moat outside the city.
The city walls were covered with black banners.
One by one, one-zhang-three-foot horns were placed on the city battlements above the city wall.
Behind them were strong men with bare upper bodies, red ribbons tied around their waists, and holding red drumsticks.
Inside and outside the city, it was already crowded with the people of Chang'an City.
Although they didn't know what was about to happen, the people could be sure that some important big shot was about to enter the city.
Since Chang'an became an auxiliary capital, except for the Emperor coming to Chang'an to worship his ancestors, there hadn't been such a grand scene for a long time.
