Daqing, Kyoto Imperial Palace.
Xiao Yan also received the news immediately and put down the letter with gentle eyes, finally it was over.
"Grandpa has returned home?"
"Yes, I'll go back as soon as I go to court."
Xiao Yan looked at the pile of papers in front of him and said, "Let's get out of the palace."
Xiao Lizi was stunned, "You don't want to read the book?"
Xiao Yan has quickly walked to the door, "I can't finish watching it anyway. I need to relax today."
Xiao Lizi immediately beamed, "That's right. Prince, you work so hard every day, which is not good for your health. The princess will definitely be angry if she finds out."
"Hmph, even you now know how to use the moon to press me?"
Xiao Lizi immediately explained with a smile, "How dare you, slave? Isn't this what the princess specifically told the slave before she left? It's because the princess cares about her master, isn't it?"
Xiao Yan snorted coldly, not bothering to argue with him.
Su Huan did not expect that as soon as he returned home, Xiao Yan would follow him.
Just as he was about to bend down to salute, he was supported by Xiao Yan, "Grandpa, Yan'er has told you many times that no one else has to do this."
"Yes, yes, grandpa forgot, forgot. Why did you leave the palace? What happened?" Su Huan was very comforted by his grandson's close attitude and unconsciously showed a loving smile.
Xiao Yan also smiled, "Of course there is good news."
"Oh?" Su Huan stroked his beard, "Let's go to my grandfather's study."
As soon as the two entered the house, someone reported the news to Mrs. Zhang.
"Yan'er is here? Where is he?" Mrs. Zhang wanted to get up, but was persuaded by Mrs. Liu on the side.
"Mother, why are you in a hurry? The prince must have followed the general. He will definitely come to see you when he is done with his work. Isn't it like this every time?"
Mrs. Zhang's face glowed red, "Yan'er is filial, forget it, wait until they finish talking about business."
In the study room of General Zhenguo's Mansion, Su Huan was so excited that he almost dropped his cup.
"real?"
It was rare for Xiao Yan to see his grandfather acting so rude, and the smile on his face became even wider, "Of course it's true. I guess there will be news from my uncle soon."
Su Huan walked back and forth in the study, looking very excited, "I didn't expect it to end so quickly. I thought that Bei Yu's attitude was to fight to the end."
Xiao Yan chuckled lightly, "It was indeed like this originally, but it's a pity that the inside is seriously decayed, plus... haha." Xiao Yan shook his head and said no more.
But Su Huan became interested, "What else should I add?"
"Our King Jingnan went to the Northern Territory. With him stirring up trouble, everything will be safe."
"Hahahaha... Xiao Han, this kid, is indeed very capable."
"I was worried about his impulsiveness at first. Haha, as expected of the King of Jingnan, he solved this matter completely without spending a single soldier."
Su Huan laughed, "I have seen this kid since he was a child. He has been smart since he was a child, and it is difficult for others to match him. He is not an impulsive person."
"Grandpa, we have to make arrangements next time. We can't let him go so easily this time. Otherwise, where is the prestige of our country in Daqing?" Xiao Yan's eyes were sharp, full of the aura of a superior.
"It should be so. Since the founding of Daqing, I have never suffered such humiliation. If I didn't want to destroy this peace and don't want the people to suffer, I really want to put on my armor again and go directly to the Northern Territory Capital to show them our Daqing. Real strength." Su Huan also felt aggrieved by this battle, but in a high position, he never considered one person's honor or disgrace. He had to swallow this breath no matter what, but in the Northern Territory, if you don't peel off your skin, don't even think about it. Reveal it.
"Then it's time for uncle and the others to come back?"
Su Huan's eyes were deep and he sighed, "Your uncle should stay at the border. I don't feel at ease when no one is there. The border is not a place by the side, and we can't slack off at all."
He also knew that his eldest son and youngest son had not been back to Kyoto for many years. Alas, but in the world, one must first have a country and then a family.
Xiao Yan also sighed. Many things were so helpless. Even if they were in a high position, they couldn't completely control them.
Soon, the news of the withdrawal of troops from the Northern Territory came back, and the Zhenguo General's Mansion was also very happy, because it was heard that the Su family army was going to return to the court.
Ms. Liu had people cleaning her house inside and out. This was the happiest day for her in years. She finally didn't have to fight. The emperor also ordered the Su family's army to return to the court. Her husband could finally come back.
"Clean it well, even under the door."
"Yes, madam."
"Huh? I still have this, give me a new one."
"Yes, madam."
"Xiao Cui, take out all the red lanterns we use for the New Year and hang them up too."
"Okay, madam."
When Su Huan returned home, he saw such a scene.
When Mrs. Liu saw Su Huan, she immediately bowed and saluted, "Father, you are going to court."
Su Huan nodded and looked at the happy face of his eldest daughter-in-law. After all, he couldn't bear to say anything, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ms. Liu was a little surprised and quickly responded, "This is what a daughter-in-law should do. It's not hard work."
Su Huan nodded and went to Zhang's yard.
Mrs. Zhang was lying in the yard basking in the sun. When she saw the frowning person coming in, she asked the old slave to help her up, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Su Huan took off his cloak and said, "Nothing."
Mrs. Zhang glared at him, "My eyesight is not very good, but I'm not blind. Your face looks like it smells like something, and you still say you're fine?"
Su Huan sighed, "I just returned home and saw the boss's wife arranging things over there."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "What should I do? The troops in the northern region have withdrawn and the news has spread that the Su family's army is about to return to the court. It's not too early for the eldest daughter-in-law to make arrangements now."
Su Huan sighed again, and Zhang immediately sensed something was wrong, "Did something happen again? Can they not come back? Or is there another war somewhere?"
Su Huan immediately grabbed his old wife's hand and said, "No, don't worry, it's just...hey."
Mrs. Zhang looked anxious and slapped Su Huan on the back of his hand, "You should speak quickly, you want to kill me."
"I asked the boss to stay at the border."
"What...what do you mean?"
"The border is a critical place. We cannot relax. I don't worry if no one is left to guard us."
Zhang's heart was half cold, "What about... Lao San and the others?"
"The third son led part of the Su family's army back to the court. Both Yu'er and Yu'er were injured and need to be taken care of. I also asked them to return to Kyoto together."
"Injured? Both Yu'er and Yu'er were injured? How come you never said anything about what happened?"
Zhang's face turned pale in worry, and Su Huan quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, Yue'er is there. Although it's dangerous, nothing happened. Just take care of her and you'll be fine."
"Don't lie to me and go back to Kyoto to take care of yourself. Could it be a minor injury?" Zhang's eyes immediately turned red.
