This is because Xiao Han did not go alone to Jinan this time, but brought nearly 20,000 surrendered soldiers with him.

These surrendered soldiers were all the people who had followed the Li Zhen uprising in the past.

These people themselves had not done anything bad, and they later performed well in the so-called reform through labor. The key is that Ningcheng has almost completed its construction, and there is no need for so many people.

That's why they were selected and returned to their hometown with Xiao Han's team.

However, it may be out of distrust of the government, or perhaps because they have been trapped for a long time and are eager to find freedom.

After leaving Ningzhou City, nearly half of the 20,000 people had quickly dispersed. By the time they arrived at Weizhou City, only about 10,000 people remained in the group.

Xiao Han didn't bother to care about this, because the melon was not sweet anyway, so he just told them to wait for a while after returning home, and the court would distribute land to them!

Then everyone was given some rations and left to their own devices.

"Xiao Han! Why are you acting like a bandit suppresser again? Why haven't we received any credit for our efforts in defending the city and defeating the enemy? Could it be that those bastards from the Merit Examination Department took advantage of us?"

Along the road, they went to Weizhou City smoothly to pick up Liu Hongji there. As soon as Old Liu saw Xiao Han, his first action was to rush up and look at his appointment certificate, and then he asked questions like a barrage of questions.

Xiao Han didn't know where to answer.

"I...you ask me, who am I going to ask?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes at Liu Hongji angrily, and took a sip of water from his water bag. He felt that the heat in his heart not only did not go away much, but became more and more intense.

Posture.

When Liu Hongji saw Xiao Han's expression of confusion, he thought he was also angry because he didn't get the reward he deserved. He couldn't help but slapped his thigh hard, "Damn it! I said those beasts are not good people! They used to be greedy for small achievements.

Forget it, now I even dare to take credit for my grandfather's work! When we return to Chang'an, our brother will go to the lobby of the Ministry of Rites and let Nao Shizi, the Minister of Rites, stare at him to see that our brother is not easy to bully!"

Liu Hongji gritted his teeth and spat in greetings to the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette.

On the other side, Xiao Han gasped and glared at Liu Hongji, "I don't know if the Minister of Rites will look at our brother. I only know that if you want to pat my thigh again in the future, we brother will have nothing to do!"

"Oh? I was patting your thigh? I said mine didn't react, hahaha, I'm used to it, I'm used to it!"

I really can’t stand these beasts like Liu Hongji!

After meeting one by one, in addition to patting their shoulders, they also patted their thighs! They also patted them with all their hands, as if otherwise, it was not enough to show their enthusiasm!

It's easy to say that between them, they are all so thick-skinned that even a knife can't penetrate them!
