Chapter 110 Return to the Capital
Xu Zhao saw Shen Yu sitting outside the carriage at a glance, and he knew from his appearance that he did not listen and rest well.
Whether it was because she was eager to go home or for some other reason, she quickened her pace and soon arrived in front of Chen Yu.
It was snowing heavily and cold, and Xu Zhao didn't have a cloak, so he took out a thick cloak from the carriage, jumped out and put it on Xu Zhao.
I don't know since when, the relationship between the two has become subtle, no one has broken this window, everything is just following their heart.
Chen Yu touched Xu Zhao's hand, "It's so cold."
Their hands touched, and to be honest, Xu Zhao didn't feel that Shen Yu's hands were very warm.
"Come on, come on, get into the carriage," Xu Zhao pushed Chen Yu into the carriage.
Shen Lingge, who was following behind Xu Zhao, covered his face, pretending that he was not there, and hurried to the campfire to warm himself. He sighed in his heart that he was no longer the apple of the emperor's uncle's eye.
The carriage, which was enclosed on all sides, did block the cold wind outside.
The next second, Chen Yu grabbed her hand and put it in his arms, covering it with his cloak to keep her warmer.
"During this trip, I have properly settled the people of Lihua Village. I have used jewels to let them buy this mountain and put it under the name of Qinghe. This way, this will be Qinghe's village, and everyone will be able to live a better life and will no longer be regarded as bandits by the government."
"In addition, I have also recruited a staff member for Qinghe. In this way, even if I leave, this gentleman can help Qinghe achieve great things."
Xu Zhao continued to talk to Shen Lingge about many things that happened in Lihua Village, detailing every detail so as not to worry him.
"Who are the staff members you just mentioned? And what is Qinghe's great cause?"
Facing Shen Yu's question, Xu Zhao could only answer half of it, "The husband of the head of Lihua Village is the staff member I found for Qinghe. This person is resourceful and can help Qinghe a lot in the future."
Shen Yu is not unfamiliar with the word "future", but he is confused when facing the future.
"But only Qinghe will inherit the throne for this great cause? In the future, will Qinghe be a king who can make a difference?"
"Yes, under your training, Qinghe will be a good emperor." Xu Zhao did not give Chen Yu an accurate answer.
Xu Zhao told Shen Yu the whole process of her recruiting Yu Chengyan.
"Of the three mountain strongholds outside Li'an City, one has been wiped out, one has become a village under Qinghe River, and what should we do with the last one, Chuntian Stronghold?" They have already wasted a lot of time. If they delay any further, the emperor will probably blame them.
The temperature inside the carriage was only slightly higher than outside. Xu Zhao's hand was still in Shen Yu's arms. Shen Yu's hand was restless and slowly moved her hand to the position of his heart.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The beating of his palm affected Xu Zhao's emotions.
Chen Yu lowered his head slightly, looking at her from time to time, with a beautiful arc at the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile.
"Stop it!" Xu Zhao's hand was held tightly. She pushed and shoved but couldn't get free. She could only glare at him pretending to be angry.
Chen Yu laughed and loosened his grip. Xu Zhao felt it, but did not retract his hand. He thought it would be a waste not to use the hand warmer that was already there.
"Chuntian Village is a little far from here. I have already assigned it to Deputy General Fang. It would be best if we can recruit him."
"The Chuntian Village robs the rich and helps the poor. I think they are good men, but they have no choice but to become bandits. I think they will surrender after being taught reason. If they join the army, it will be a place for them to go."
“That’s right!”
After resting for about an hour, Shen Yu gave the order to continue moving forward.
The heavy snow is still falling. If it goes on any longer, the mountain will be closed due to the heavy snow and the road will become even more difficult to travel on.
Seeing that Shen Yu looked tired, Xu Zhao forced him to take a nap.
This time, with Xu Zhao by his side, Chen Yu could sleep peacefully.
The road was slippery due to the snow, so the group walked much slower.
After traveling day and night, we finally arrived at the gate of the imperial city at noon the next day. The heavy snow that had fallen all day finally stopped this morning.
The main street of the Yue Kingdom's imperial city was bustling with people coming and going. There were also many more pedestrians on the road than usual. Many heads popped out of the tall buildings beside the street. Upon hearing that King Anding was returning to the capital today, they all stretched their necks to look outside the city gate.
"King Anding is back!" The little children who were playing in the mud on the roadside outside the city saw the huge army coming towards the imperial city in the distance, dropped the mud in their hands, and ran into the city shouting in a hurry without even wiping them.
King Anding had been away from the imperial city for many years, and many people had never seen him. In order to welcome the army, people stood on both sides of the road, leaving enough space for them.
"My identity should not be known to too many people, so I will not follow you into the city. I will go in with the Mobei envoy."
Chen Yu got off the carriage outside the city gate. Before getting off the horse, Xu Zhao stopped him and gave him some instructions.
After much consideration, Shen Yu had no choice but to agree. He jumped on his horse and led the three thousand elite soldiers behind him into the imperial city.
The coachman driving Xu Zhao stopped the carriage on the side of the road and waited for the envoy to enter the city.
The streets, which were already bustling in the past, are even more lively today.
As the army entered the city, the horses probably wanted to be watched by the people, so they slowed down their pace. Their hooves made a heavy rumbling sound as they touched the ground, as if to show off their achievements.
The brightly colored flags behind them fluttered in the wind under the blue sky, and the bright armor on the soldiers sparkled brightly in the sun.
The most eye-catching one was naturally the leader Shen Yu, who was dressed in military uniform. His silver armor shone with golden light, and his black hair was neatly tied on his head. He was not wearing a helmet, and his pleasing face was visible at a glance, which made people obsessed. However, the fierce murderous aura between his brows made people want to retreat.
"King Anding is so amazing, he really deserves to be the God of War of my Yue Kingdom!"
"That's right. I heard from my wife's second aunt's cousin's cousin's nephew's husband that our King Anding conquered seven cities in Mobei in a row, frightening the Mobei generals into surrendering. The Mobei emperor had no one to use, so he had no choice but to sign a ceasefire agreement."
"I heard that Prince Anding returned victoriously this time and brought back a princess from Mobei. I'm afraid this princess is here to marry a foreign princess?"
"Isn't it possible that the Mobei Kingdom wants to marry the princess to King Anding?"
"How can a princess who was defeated by his own army be worthy of my Yue Kingdom's King Anding, who has made great military achievements? This is simply a foolish dream."
"This Prince Anding is so handsome. Even though he has a husband, I still feel amorous when I see him."
"You should be more careful. You dare to say such words. Aren't you afraid that someone will hear you and throw you into a pig cage?"
"However, this Prince Anding seems a little cold, while the eldest prince behind him seems more likable."
Chen Yu had a stern face since he entered the city. His already majestic demeanor now looked even more difficult to deal with.
On the contrary, Shen Lingge was like a colorful peacock when he entered the city, constantly greeting the people.
