Chapter 452: Nan Ba Returns to the Capital

"That's right, I hid away on purpose." Du Wanwan was a little aggrieved, "If I don't leave, they will come to my house. Should I save them or not? She went to ask the queen to let the emperor grant her sister to marry in as his concubine."

Xu frowned slightly after hearing this, and said with understanding in her heart: "The Crown Princess is not smart enough. Everyone in the capital knows that Zhongyuan and you are deeply in love and cannot tolerate others. But you still want to do this. If she doesn't die, who will die?"

Chen Xiangxiu was thoughtful after hearing this. He looked at Xu for a long time, then at Du Wanwan, and asked in a low voice: "Do you all know something?"

Du Wanwan pointed to the sky and said, "It's just what mother thinks. We can only understand what the higher-ups mean, not explain it in words."

Chen Xiangxiu's eyes suddenly widened twice as wide, and then he patted his chest and said, "That's terrible. Yu'er will never marry someone from the royal family again. They are so heartless and disloyal."

Xu agreed: "Madam is right, Yu'er can't get involved with the royal family."

After finishing the conversation, Du Wanwan finished dinner and returned to her room. Ye Tingxiao was not there, as he had gone to the camp in the suburbs.

He was the General of Zhenbei, and had 3,000 personal soldiers stationed in the suburban camp. After being away for so long, he had to show up, listen to everyone's reports, and understand the movements of his personal soldiers.

By the way, he also wanted to see if the personal soldiers in the camp had any practical difficulties that needed to be solved. He was the general, so it was natural for him to step in to deal with any difficulties.

The 300,000 troops of General Zhenbei are all stationed on the border of the northern country. There is no fighting in peacetime, and general training is left to his subordinates.

Ye Tingxiao just needs to control the overall situation. The Northern Kingdom has signed the surrender agreement, and the Wei Dynasty has muskets, so there should be no problem.

Nan Ba is one of the three hundred thousand strong troops. He has been promoted to deputy general. People in the army only know his name as Xie Heshun, and few people know his name as Nan Ba.

There was no war on the border, and Nan Ba was thinking about his own lifelong event, feeling uneasy. He knew that Ye Tingxiao had been named the General of Zhenbei, and Pingyang Hou had been named the Duke of Anguo.

And he was just a small deputy general, and he didn't know whether the Ye family was willing to entrust Ye Tingyu's life to him.

No matter what, he had to go back to the capital and ask Ye Tingyu if she was willing to marry him.

After taking a long vacation, Nan Ba rode a horse with three followers and spent more than two months returning to the capital and entering the west of the city.

He knew that the west of the city had changed a lot, but he didn't expect it to be so big, with many new houses rising from the ground, wide and clean streets, and shops adjacent to each other.

The old and the young all had smiles on their faces, and there were no more beggars begging on the streets.

Standing under the door of "West City Street", Nan Ba raised his head and looked at the words, feeling that it was all too incredible.

His three subordinates were not from the capital, but from the north. They had never been to the capital. Now seeing the prosperity of the west of the city, they all opened their mouths wide and could not close them for a long time.

"Wow! It's really the capital city, it's so clean, there's not even a leaf on the ground."

"There's a garbage basket over there. I just saw an old woman picking up leaves and throwing them into that basket."

"There are so many delicious foods here. It smells so good. General! Where do you live? Do you live on this street?"

Nan Ba said nothing, holding the horse in his hand, and walked into a street with his three followers.

There really were a lot of delicious food, which he had never seen before he left, and he didn’t know whether the colorful wontons were delicious or not.

He sat down with his entourage, and each of them ordered a bowl. After taking a bite, they found the food delicious, and a feeling of happiness rose in Nanba's heart.

The food on a street in the west of the city is delicious and he likes it very much.

The expression on his usually cold face softened a lot, and the four of them sat around a table eating with gusto.

This family not only sells colorful wontons, but also fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, porridge, buns, and steamed buns. They have almost everything.

Order whatever you want.

The four men were holding horses and they were obviously soldiers.

He is full of hostility.

There was an inconspicuous carriage parked on the side of the street, with a little girl of about sixteen or seventeen sitting in the carriage.

She observed Nan Ba and the others carefully, with a determined look in her eyes.

The maidservant beside her was a little scared and asked nervously, "Miss! What if it doesn't work? If the master finds out, he will beat you with a stick."

"What are you afraid of?" The little girl said nonchalantly, "They don't care about my life or death, they want to send me to an old man in his sixties as a second wife, why should I care about their life or death?

I'm lucky today. I'll be smarter and start calling you uncle when you see me rushing over and hugging someone."

"Yes! I'll remember it."

After Nan Ba and his three followers finished their meal, they paid the money, walked out the door, and led their horses to go to the People's Clinic.

He came back to talk to Dr. Du about his marriage. No matter whether it was possible or not, he had to speak out bravely.

If Ye Tingyu disagreed, he would go back to the border and never come back.

He was thinking about his troubles as he walked out. When he passed by that inconspicuous carriage, a man suddenly rushed out from it and hugged him tightly.

"Sir! Help! I feel so bad."

Nan Ba glanced at the little girl who fell down from the carriage and thought that she was really feeling uncomfortable. After all, she was stuck in the carriage in such hot weather and it was not certain whether she would get heatstroke.

He just happens to be going to the People's Clinic, so just take him with you!

"Xiao Yan!" Nan Ba put the person in his hand into the carriage and ordered his men, "Take him along."

The maid, whose emotions had been brewing in the carriage for a long time and gradually became tearful, was about to call Nan Ba "son-in-law" when her mistress pulled her sleeve.

Then he shook his head slightly at her. The maid understood immediately and fell silent.

Nanba was parading along one of the streets in the west of the city, so why didn't anyone recognize it?

In fact, his skin color was much darker, he had a beard, and he looked dusty. He didn't look like a local, but more like a merchant from another place.

Nowadays, business on a street in the west of the city is very good, and many merchants from other places like to come here to buy.

Whether it is silk and satin cloth, gold, silver, jade, books, pens, and various cute little gadgets that are not available elsewhere, they are all the favorites of traveling merchants.

Nan Ba had stayed in the north for a long time and participated in many battles, large and small, and his temperament had changed a lot.

Not to mention that others would not be able to recognize him, even if He Xiang came in, he might not be able to recognize him.

Xiao Yan ordered an inconspicuous carriage to follow behind them. Four people, four horses, and a carriage came to the People's Clinic in a mighty manner.

Du Wanwan was still seeing patients, and she didn't pay much attention to seeing someone coming. There were many common people and dignitaries coming to her every day, and she was used to it.

Whoever wants to come can come, she doesn’t care.

Yetingyu was helping to get medicine for the patient. When he looked up and saw Nanba walk in, he was completely stunned.

He just stood there blankly and even forgot to give the patient medicine.

It was the patient himself who took the medicine from her, poured a bowl of water, and swallowed the pill.

Then he followed Ye Tingyu's line of sight and saw a stranger. He muttered, "Who is this?"
