When the 30,000 troops from other places arrived, they were already prepared. The handover took a day, and the next day, General Guan and the Qiao family generals led their troops to set off.
As for Chu Zhuo, he decided to stay here and be with Shi Murou.
After all, the Shi family only has one descendant, Shi Murou, and she cannot go far away.
As the troops departed, Chu Zhuo and Shi Murou came to see them off.
"Lian'er, remember to come visit us again in the future." Shi Murou was holding the hand of a two-year-old boy, and she was pregnant again.
"The distance is too far, I don't ask for much, but you must come."
Qiao Lian'er didn't actually have much sorrow about parting, because she was free to go wherever she wanted, and if she wanted to come back to see her friends, it would only take a blink of an eye.
But seeing Shi Murou's red eyes, she was also affected by such emotions.
"I will come," Qiao Lian'er promised, then reached out and gently stroked her newly protruding belly. "I'll come and take a look after the little one is born."
Chu Zhuo wanted to stay here. Although the garrison general would make arrangements for him, in order to prevent his new subordinates from becoming disobedient, General Guan left him with 6,000 men.
General Guan patted Chu Zhuo on the shoulder: "Remember, you are a native of the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry garrison. You have been rooted here for three years. Don't show any fear in front of the new generals. Use your familiarity with this place to guide and settle them in properly, and get everything on track as soon as possible. Don't put on airs."
Chu Zhuo thought for a moment and understood what General Guan meant. He wanted a sense of ease and competence, but he didn't want the new general to feel that he was superior to others because of his familiarity with the place. In short, he wanted to humbly demonstrate his role and win favor and respect.
"Yes, I know what to do."
General Guan laughed heartily: "Perhaps we'll meet on the battlefield when we need to fight in the future. Then, let this old superior of yours see how much more capable you've become."
"Yes, your subordinate will not forget to be diligent and proactive, and will not disappoint General Guan."
General Guan laughed heartily and nimbly mounted his horse.
The men of the Qiao family and Chu Zhuo also had a long and heartfelt farewell.
Chu Zhuo was a great benefactor to the Qiao family. When Song Laosan's sword was about to fall, it was Chu Zhuo who took them in and made them his subordinates, thus saving them from disaster.
The rise of the Qiao family men in the army marked the beginning of their careers, and they later moved to the capital.
Guan Song and Guan Xue each held onto Qiao Lian'er's arm and leg tightly, refusing to let go.
Their faces were beaming with joy.
Because I can be with my sister from now on.
Guan Yuqin smiled with satisfaction and patted the two children's heads: "I won't bother your Lian'er sister to death anymore."
"Sister won't look down on us, right, sister?" Guan Xue puffed out her cheeks and pouted, looking like she could be fishing.
“Yes, let’s go sightseeing in the capital together.” Qiao Lian’er smiled.
After parting ways, the troops set off at dawn.
Because she was leading the troops, the men of the Qiao family went with her. Qiao Lian'er couldn't reveal her secret to too many people, so Guan Yuqin and her two children could only travel to the capital by carriage. She made an excuse to leave a day later.
Now, only a few old women and three servants remain at home; the rest are the elderly, weak, women, and children.
After a brief discussion, Boss Mu led a few of his men to their door.
