Chapter 356 Triumphant Return to Beijing
The moment the 80,000-strong Ningzhou army entered Kedan City, all the spies hurried away in panic.
Perhaps it was because he had heard that the reason Kedan City ended up like that was because Pagan refused to surrender and his attitude towards peace talks was extremely insincere.
Ten days later, except for Annan, which had already surrendered, and Pagan, which was directly defeated,
The letters of surrender from the remaining five countries were directly sent to Emperor Xuanwu's dragon desk.
Even the Seventh Prince of Beixiang, who had first provoked the war, was tied up and sent to the capital.
The rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms has been completely quelled, and it is natural for Yun Shu and the others to go back.
Compared to General Weiyuan who was eager to return home, and Yunshu who was much more relaxed after solving a big problem,
Yun Chuhuan became particularly anxious.
And this anxiety began to grow exponentially as the distance to the capital city got closer.
Especially on the day of entering Beijing,
This was the third time Yun Chuhuan confirmed with Yun Shu:
"Fifth sister, you told father about what happened to me on the battlefield in your letter. When father replied, he really wasn't very angry, right?"
"How many more times do you want me to repeat it?"
Yun Chuhuan didn't ask if he was tired, but Yun Shu already answered that he was tired:
"The rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was quelled overnight, and Tiansheng's territory has now expanded a lot.
My father was very pleased. In his reply, besides expressing his joy, he also mentioned some matters he needed to deal with after the seven kingdoms surrendered, and urged me to return to the palace to review the memorials with him.
Not a word about you."
"It's good that you didn't mention it! It's great that you didn't mention it..."
It would be best if the emperor was so overwhelmed with joy that he didn’t even remember the little thing he did!
Yun Chuhuan was thankful and praying at the same time.
Yun Chuhuan muttered to himself all the way, and when he finally saw the city gate of the capital, he suddenly straightened up.
He pointed to the city gate excitedly:
"Fifth sister, look! The bright yellow one in the front is father, right?
Father has personally led the entire court to pick us up!"
"Yes, got it."
Yun Shu curled his lips. Although his expression was not revealing, a feeling of heroic spirit surged in his chest.
He quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and returned victoriously.
The emperor led his ministers to welcome him personally...
When she first came here, she never thought that this day would come!
Tsk, she really is worthy of it!
The curve of the corner of his lips reached its highest point when the horse's hooves stopped.
Yun Shu smiled and dismounted, then bowed to Emperor Xuanwu in a proper manner:
"Father, I have fulfilled your mission!"
"Good, good, good! You are worthy of being my daughter! The first time you went to the battlefield, you showed the backbone of our Tiansheng!"
The satisfaction and relief in Emperor Xuanwu's eyes were beyond words.
He patted Yun Shu's thin shoulders and sighed:
"After a tour on the battlefield, I felt like I had grown up all of a sudden when I came back."
"Only three months, right?"
Yun Shu laughed:
“How much can change in three months?”
"Why hasn't it changed?"
Emperor Xuanwu was full of disapproval:
"I can tell from one glance that you are thinner than you were three months ago!"
"Have you lost weight?"
Yun Shu looked down at his waist.
To be honest, she herself really didn't notice any changes.
But riding a horse, especially a fast horse, is indeed a strenuous job.
She has been living on horseback for quite some time, so it is not surprising that she has lost weight.
Yun Shu chuckled, revealing a sly smile like a little fox:
"Then Father, shouldn't you give me more rewards so that I can take care of myself?"
"Reward!" Emperor Xuanwu was very generous:
"Just tell me what you want. I have everything in my private vault, you can take it all!"
My father is so generous!
Yun Chuhuan, who had only seen his father being stingy, was greatly enlightened.
Maybe it was because he couldn't stand the temptation.
Or maybe it was because looking at Emperor Xuanwu's happy expression, he really didn't look like he would be angry.
Yun Chuhuan couldn't help himself and poked his head out from between Yun Shu and Emperor Xuanwu:
"What about me? Father, can you please take a look at me too?
I seem to have lost a lot of weight too!"
"you?"
Emperor Xuanwu kept smiling, but the smile in his eyes seemed to fade away instantly, and instead there was a hint of chilliness in his eyes. Unfortunately, Yun Chuhuan couldn't see it:
“Your reward has already been prepared by your mother.
Just wait for you to return to the palace, and then you can collect it."
"Really?"
Not only were his father and mother not angry with him, they actually prepared gifts for him?
The last bit of uneasiness in Yun Chuhuan's heart completely disappeared.
He jumped up excitedly:
"What is the reward?"
“It would be pointless to know in advance.”
Emperor Xuanwu glanced at him, and then immediately rewarded General Weiyuan and his entourage.
Only after they had received the honor and face of being personally welcomed by the emperor did they head towards the imperial palace in a grand procession.
Yun Chuhuan was still thinking about the gift that his father and mother had prepared for him. After returning to the palace, he excitedly rushed to Yaohua Palace. Before he even entered the courtyard, a voice could be heard from afar:
"Mother! Mother, I am back..."
The last word "la" which should have been very brisk suddenly dropped 18 degrees after seeing the furnishings in the yard.
If you don't listen carefully, you might not be able to hear it.
Yun Chuhuan laughed dryly, and the foot that had just stepped into the yard began to retreat stealthily:
"Mother, I suddenly remembered that I left something with my fifth sister. I will go there now..."
"stop!"
Concubine Liu slowly stood up and took her time to adjust her elegant palace dress. She looked at Yun Chuhuan with a fake smile. Except for the first call, her subsequent voice was very gentle:
"It's been so long since we last met. Why are you leaving right after meeting your mother?"
"Mother, what are you talking about?"
The smile on Yun Chuhuan's face became more and more stiff:
"Didn't I just say that? I'm just going to get something from Fifth Sister."
"Since it is something that can be left behind, there is no need to rush for it."
Concubine Liu smiled slightly and waved at Yun Chuhuan:
"You come in first."
"I do not!"
Seeing that pretending to be stupid was no longer effective, Yun Chuhuan turned around and wanted to run.
However, before he could take two steps, he heard his mother, who had been so gentle just now, shout loudly.
Immediately afterwards, a dark shadow flashed by and carried him back to the yard neatly!
Yun Chuhuan: “!!!”
Fifth sister, help me!
You said you weren’t angry and you didn’t even mention him?
In order to let my mother beat him up, my father even borrowed a Dragon Shadow Guard temporarily! !
