Two days later, in front of Yangzhai City Gate.

"Can't you stay in Guxianghou for a little longer?" At this time, County Magistrate Ji was looking at Li Zhi with a pleading look on his face.

Hearing this, Li Zhi shook his head: "No, I came here just to destroy the Yellow Turbans. Now that the Yellow Turban thieves have been wiped out by me, it's time to go back."

"But..." County Magistrate Ji said hesitantly: "This is just a large group of Yellow Turbans, and there are also some small groups of Yellow Turbans looting everywhere in Yingchuan. If they arrive in Yangdi..."

Having said this, he begged Li Zhi: "Please look at the face of Mr. Yangzhai and give him some more time!"

Li Zhi patted his shoulder and comforted him: "You don't have to be so worried. Didn't I leave five thousand elite soldiers for you? Those soldiers and horses here are enough to ensure the safety of Yangzhai."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Ji became even more anxious: "But those people were originally Yellow Turbans. If the Yellow Turban thieves come again, I'm afraid they will cooperate with each other and open the city gate before the war begins."

Li Zhi saw that he did not believe in the troops he had left behind, so he comforted him and said, "It should be noted that the Yellow Turbans are also human beings, and they were just a group of refugees, just like the soldiers under my command.

As long as there is a way to survive, they will not rebel. Now they have reformed and become the guards here, which can be regarded as having an identity.

Who would want to be a thief if he could live an upright life? Magistrate Ji might as well be more tolerant and leave him alone to see the consequences. If they really rebel, then we will send troops to exterminate them!"

Seeing Li Zhi's firm attitude, County Magistrate Ji said helplessly: "I hope Lord Marquis is right, otherwise the people in this city...!"

When he thought of the tragic situation of the people when the Yellow Turbans entered the city, he looked so sad that he could not continue talking.

Li Zhi was quite speechless when he saw this. He did not expect that the county magistrate was such a pessimistic person.

The five thousand elite soldiers he left behind not only included Yellow Turbans, but the officers among them were direct descendants of Li Zhi's command. How could they rebel?

Then, Li Zhi ignored him and mounted his horse, shouting to the army: "Let's go!"

It's noon at the gate of Erxianzhuang City.

Li Zhi looked at the magnificent Erxian Village in front of him with emotion, feeling as if he had seen the light of day again.

Although he had only been away for less than half a month, all the things he had experienced during this half month had made him exhausted, and he just wanted to return to the village and have a good sleep.

"But the lord is back?"

Just when Li Zhi was in a daze, a man stuck his head out from the city wall and asked.

When Li Zhi saw it was Guo San, he nodded and said, "It's me, please open the city gate."

"Creak...!" With a sound, the gate of Erxianzhuang was slowly opened.

Although it is still called Erxianzhuang, it has been managed by Li Zhi and is no less than a powerful city like Luoyang City.

The city has a permanent population of more than 500,000. If we add the 100,000 Yellow Turbans captured this time, then this city will be no worse than Luoyang in terms of population and prosperity.

When Li Zhi entered the city, he didn't want to think about anything else. He just wanted to go home and have a good sleep, so he handed over all the affairs in the city to Guo Jia and Xu Huang, and rode a fast horse to his home.

When Li Zhi arrived at the door of an unusually gorgeous mansion, he was about to knock on the door when he saw the door open a crack.

A little girl about three years old carefully crossed the threshold and walked out, followed by a group of servants.

I saw this little girl with two pigtails on her head, a pink dress, and a small purple birthmark shaped like lightning on her forehead. She looked very cute against her pink little face.

The servant who opened the door for him bent down and lowered his head and said to the little girl: "Oh...my aunt, be careful. The Marquis will be back soon, so don't be so anxious."

The little girl ignored the servant. She looked up and saw Li Zhi. Her eyes lit up and she trotted over quickly.

Seeing this, Li Zhi waved his hand to interrupt the servant who was about to salute.

He squatted down with a smile on his face, waited for the little girl to run over, and then picked her up. He heard the little girl shouting loudly: "Daddy, daddy..."

Li Zhi responded with a kind face: "Oh, my precious daughter misses her father so much. Does Qing'er miss her father at home?"

"Well..." Li Qing thought for a while and said seriously: "Sometimes I think about it, sometimes I don't."

"Oh?" Li Zhi pinched her little face lovingly and asked, "When do you think about it? When don't you think about it?"

Li Qing tilted her head and thought about it, but her little hand touched her forehead unconsciously, because she found that as long as she touched the trace of lightning on her forehead, she could think of anything in the past.

Li Zhi looked at her actions, smiled mysteriously, didn't say anything, just looked at her expectantly.

After thinking for a while, Li Qing replied: "When mother fools Qing'er, she misses daddy, but when she plays, she doesn't miss daddy."

"Really?" Li Zhi looked at her dumbfounded and kissed her little face lovingly.

Then, Li Zhi said in a gentle voice: "Now that daddy is back, he will never let your mother scare you again. Let's go home."

"Daddy is so kind!"

"Hahaha... Qing'er is really daddy's pistachio"

"Dad, what are pistachios?"

"Uh... Pistachio, that's a long story. Let dad tell it to you..."

Following these warm words, Li Zhi gently held his daughter and slowly walked into the main hall.

After arriving at the main hall, Xun Yuan took Chun'er and Qiu'er to greet him: "I have met your husband, and I sincerely wish that you will eliminate thieves for the country!"

Li Zhi held his daughter for a little support, and asked the three of them pleasantly: "Where is Dan'er and Zheng'er?"

Qiu'er quickly replied: "Dan'er is sleeping soundly but Zheng'er is..."

At this point, he glanced at Li Zhi nervously.

Li Zhi was very anxious when he heard this: "What's wrong with Zheng'er? But what happened?"

Qiu'er shook her head in embarrassment and said, "Nothing happened, it's just...he was playing on the duck's foot tree in the backyard."

"Okay, wait! Up the duck-foot tree...?!" Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately reacted and looked at Qiu'er in disbelief.

Immediately, Li Zhi said angrily: "You bastard! Who put him up?! Do you really believe that you won't kill anyone?!"

After saying that, he ignored everyone in the hall, put his daughter down, and hurried towards the duck's foot tree in the backyard.

After arriving in the backyard, I saw the servants gathered under a duck-foot tree, begging the little man on the tree: "Little ancestor, come down quickly, the Marquis will be back soon, if you don't

Come down, can the Marquis spare my life?"

"I won't! I want to pick fruits for daddy to eat!" The little boy jumped around like a little monkey on the tree, but he couldn't fall down.

Li Zhi's hands and feet felt weak when he saw her under the tree. He was afraid that she would fall off accidentally, so he did not dare to yell loudly.

Then he said warmly: "Zheng'er, daddy is back. Come down quickly. Didn't you pick some fruits? Come down quickly and give them to daddy to taste."

The little boy looked under the tree and found Li Zhi, jumping up and down on the tree with a happy face: "Daddy, you are finally back!"

Seeing him jumping on the tree, Li Zhi was so frightened that his face turned pale. In Li Zhi's opinion, this scene was even more terrifying than when he faced Bo Cai.

Then he whispered: "I'm back, I'm back... Zheng'er, come down quickly and let daddy take a good look at you."

"Okay, daddy, wait a minute." After saying that, the little boy took off a cloth bag hanging on the tree, and then somersaulted down from the tree!
