Volume 1, Chapter 43: Returning in Triumph
Chen Yin's injury gradually healed under the care of the doctor and Su Muyan's pills!
As for Yu Xi and Cheng Wu, they were already executed by Shen Yin's order after their conspiracy was exposed.
When facing those who want to kill him, Chen Yin will never show mercy, because being merciful to the enemy means he will disregard his own life in the future!
Even though Yu Xi was the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Chen Yin did not hesitate at all.
Victory and defeat are common in the military, but if your subordinates are disloyal, they may lose their lives in an instant on the battlefield, so there is no room for leniency towards Yu Xi's behavior.
As for the order to execute Yu Xi, no one else in the army pleaded for her, because everyone understood that if the general had not been lucky, he would have been defeated and lost his life and property.
Yu Xi was executed the same night her conspiracy was exposed, and Shen Yin's injuries could be removed.
"Order the soldiers to prepare to return to the capital!"
After Chen Yin finished speaking, Chu Zeli went downstairs to pass on the message, while Chen Yin lay in his tent, thinking about how to get the emperor to agree to his resignation and return home after he returned.
It's time for me to stop my military career and pursue my own happiness.
At this moment, Chen Yin's mind flashed with the scene of Su Muyan smiling and calling him "brother" in a sweet voice.
Many years passed, and he was no longer the weak young man he used to be, and she was no longer the carefree eldest daughter of the Su family.
After so many years of ups and downs, even if the two people are not together, they understand that they must have grown a lot from each other!
After this war is quelled, I believe that there will be no more wars in this huge dynasty. At least in the short term, there will be peace and prosperity everywhere!
He can also put aside his military and patriotic interests as a general and calmly pursue his own happiness.
When he thought of this, Chen Yin wished he could grow a pair of wings, fly to the capital, say goodbye to the emperor, and then run non-stop to find the little woman who was dear to his heart!
At this moment, I only regret that this horse cannot travel thousands of miles a day, making the journey back to Beijing seem very long!
On the other side, Su Muyan led everyone towards their destination calmly.
As we walked along, the place became increasingly desolate. I was used to seeing the prosperous scenes in the capital, and I never imagined that there would be such a devastated place on this land?
Along the way, everyone has experienced untold hardships. At this moment, Su Muyan also suppressed the sigh in her heart.
In the past, everyone said that life was miserable, but now Su Muyan realized that in this era of imperial power, how could one have the final say in one's own life?
Looking at the people along the way, they are ragged, hungry and cold, and are far away from their hometown, just to get something to eat and a place to live.
It was not until this moment that Su Muye truly realized that under the control of imperial power, it was not the wealthy and powerful who had the final say.
Even if you have a fortune and are in great glory at this moment, how can you know that you will be begging and having a hard life in the next second?
In the past, I could be considered to have been constantly honored and in great glory, but now I am still on the road of fleeing famine. If I didn't have my own space, I would still not have enough to eat.
Therefore, if a person must be displaced in this life, then he must have a foundation to settle down and make a living. Otherwise, how can he survive in this ever-changing situation between China and the West?
As they walked further towards the wild land of Hainan, Su Muyan's brows furrowed more and more, and she spoke less and less as she walked.
Su Zimu had been an official in the court for more than ten years, so he naturally knew what his daughter was thinking at the moment.
But what can be done? This is a disaster for the Su family, and no one with the surname Su can stay out of it.
I'm afraid that at this moment I don't know how much the other branches of the Su family who were exiled to the vast desert resent me.
But nothing matters anymore. Who knows if we will see each other again in this life?
Thinking of this, Su Zimu didn't know how to comfort his daughter!
The group walked towards the vast desert.
Chen Yin was also on his way back to the capital. After a long journey of more than a month, he could finally see the city gate of the capital.
"General, in another day, we will be able to return to the capital." Chu Ze said while riding a horse.
"Okay, speed up the process and try to get into the city before dark tomorrow."
In fact, Shen Yin had encountered many assassinations along the way. It seemed that he had blocked the way of many people.
But all this is no longer important. Fame and wealth are no longer attractive to me.
He just wanted to rush to Yan'er's side as soon as possible to accompany her. He had no time to care about other things and didn't want to care about them!
After hearing this, Chu Ze also understood that his master was concerned about the girl far away.
Thinking of his master's plan after returning to Beijing, Chu Ze felt relieved. Yes, his master had fought for the powerful in the court his entire life, but in the end, he only got endless assassinations.
It would be better to just give up the power that makes people fear you and go to the wild land of Hainan.
At least there the master will have the company of someone he likes, unlike now where he has no one who understands him and has to face investigations from various forces all day long.
"Master, we're here!"
Shen Yin lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the city gate of the capital.
"Go back to the General's Mansion first, and then enter the palace tomorrow!"
"yes!"
When I returned to the general's mansion, everyone there was there to welcome me.
Chen Yin glanced at these people coldly. How many of them really welcomed him back?
Forget it, forget it!
After all, I have to accompany Yan'er, so it doesn't matter what these people think!
After a while of perfunctory behavior, he finally returned to his own yard.
Until this moment, when the night was deep and quiet, he finally belonged completely to Yan'er.
At this time, no one will disturb me, and there will be no military affairs. I can wholeheartedly miss the person I hold dear to my heart.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Shen Yin's mind was in turmoil. He didn't know whether his return to Beijing would be smooth.
After this life-and-death struggle, he had already seen through everything. No glory or wealth was as precious as his own Yan'er.
Sat in the yard for a long time.
"I just hope that the Emperor will agree to let me resign and return home at the morning court tomorrow!"
At this moment, it is late at night and everyone is asleep. I don’t know how Yan’er, who is far away in the sky, is spending this cold night. I don’t know if she is cold or whether she has a cotton-padded jacket or quilt to keep her warm.
