Zhao Wu stopped Zhao Cheng and shoved the things in his hand over, saying, "There's also... a letter from the Right Chancellor!"

Zhao Cheng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly tore open his father's letter, cursing as he did so: "It's been two months! This old man... still remembers there's a family!!"

"Does my mother know?" Zhao Cheng then looked at Zhao Wu.

“The Right Chancellor sent back a letter from home. I brought it to you first, but I didn’t send it to your wife.”

"Well done! If anything happens to the old man, we can't let Mother know first..."

"Pah! Pah! Pah! Master, please pronounce it Prime Minister!"

"Feudal superstition! Whether it's good or bad won't change just because I say it!"

Zhao Cheng had already opened the letter and was reading it carefully. As he read, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Zhao Wu dared not get close enough to look at the letter, but he could sense something was wrong from Zhao Cheng's expression.

After Zhao Cheng put the letter down, he quickly asked, "What happened?"

"The war is over."

"You...lost?"

"We won," Zhao Cheng sighed. "A resounding victory."

"You won, so why do you look like your father just died?" Zhao Wu asked, puzzled. Then, realizing something, he exclaimed in shock, "The Right Chancellor... is gone?"

"You're no good!" Zhao Cheng kicked him, shouting angrily, "My dad is perfectly fine! He said in his letter that he ate three big bowls of rice before writing it!!"

"Then why are you sighing like that, Master?"

"You think a great victory is a good thing?" Zhao Cheng was about to explain, but when he saw Zhao Wu's blank face, he immediately lost interest, pushed Zhao Wu's face away, and said, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you, you have no brains."

"I don't have as many brains as you, Master! Hmm, Master, you're so smart, did my brain grow onto your head?"

"How stupid must I be?!"

Seeing Zhao Cheng hurrying away, Zhao Wu chased after him and asked, "Master, where are you going?"

"I just said I was going to find Chunqin, you idiot!!!"
