General Chen of the Right Vanguard Battalion soon learned the news.
He appeared out of nowhere and couldn't wait to ask Xing Shi.
"Is the news true?"
General Chen is over forty years old this year, but he is still strong. He and Xing Shi share the same fate. He was transferred back to the capital from the border garrison and led his subordinates to guard outside the city gate, doing the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous work.
But General Chen is more tactful than Xing Shi. He knows how to judge the situation and will build relationships with the troops in the city and those stationed in the granary. After all, a general with a miscellaneous title is still a general, and his colleagues will give him some face.
So he often found a place to hide when he had free time. Anyway, His Highness would not leave the city, and no one would care about them outside the city.
Xing Shilian's eyes were filled with smiles. "Of course, I think we are almost outside the county town. General Chen, why don't you come with me to greet the princess?"
As the legitimate daughter of the King of Zhongshan, the princess had a noble status and it was difficult to see her in the past.
General Chen thought about it and readily agreed.
He was just meeting someone outside the city, which didn't count as abandoning his post. Even if His Highness asked about it, he wouldn't be afraid.
He was not supposed to be on duty today. Even if His Highness blamed him, it was Xing Shi's bad luck and had nothing to do with him.
at the same time.
Inside the palace.
Motosaburo also received the news.
At that time, he was upset by the high temperature and ordered to take a shower and change clothes.
The temperature is hot.
The water he uses for bathing should not be too hot to prevent him from getting sick or catching a cold, nor should it be too cold.
Several maids tested the water temperature again and again with trepidation.
The water in this pool is the daily consumption of the camps outside, and His Highness has to take a bath three times a day. The maid feels a little painful, but dares not show it at all.
They didn't dare to delay too long. After each of them tried it, they looked at each other and confirmed that there was no problem before they dared to go out and invite His Highness in.
Yuan Sanlang walked into the bathroom, stretched out his arms, and let the maid help him undress.
Just as he was halfway through taking off his clothes, a centurion from the guard battalion came in with a report: "Your Highness, news has come from the left vanguard battalion that the princess has returned safely and is now several miles outside the city."
Yuan Sanlang's whole body stiffened, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes.
Yuan Yuwan?
She is still alive?
Yuan Sanlang kicked the maid who was squatting on the ground away, and strode out of the bathroom without caring about his disheveled clothes.
"Go and ask Mr. Hu to come over!"
The former guard battalion defected, and the garrison troops who left never returned. I don't know if they met her outside.
Mr. Hu came over quickly after receiving the news.
After asking carefully, they found out that it was Qinghe Wei who saved the princess and sent his troops to send her back.
Mr. Hu pondered for a moment, and then Asamoto Saburo suggested, "Your Highness should show his joy and welcome the princess into the city as soon as possible."
Yuan Sanlang said coldly, "Sir, do you think I'm a fool? Yuan Yuwan is my sister, my legitimate sister. I should be happy that she has returned safely."
He emphasized the words "legitimate sister" very much, almost uttering them with gritted teeth.
It was this heavy identity that made him unable to hold his head up for the first half of his life. He was not liked by the old King of Zhongshan and was not accepted by the guard camp.
Those people would rather defect than acknowledge him.
Mr. Hu pretended not to notice and continued, "The Qinghe Wei clan is well-known and promising. Before the disaster, Lord Wei had passed through Zhongshan on his way back to the Wei clan's territory. Since they were able to send troops to escort the princess back this time, they must still have retained some strength."
Yuan Saburo was unconcerned. "Due to the imperial ban, there are only a few thousand troops in the fort. Even if the losses are small and everyone survives, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Most likely they used all their forces to escort him, hoping to use this to gain benefits from Zhongshan State."
The old King of Zhongshan respected the Wei family because Duke Wei was a veteran of two dynasties and ranked first among all officials. In addition, there were many members of the Wei family in the officialdom and their power was complex and intertwined.
But now the world has changed, and most of the outstanding generation of the Wei family are living outside. Take the eldest branch for example, and their life or death in Kyoto is unknown.
Without a clan heir, once Duke Wei dies, I'm afraid the Wei family will become a mess.
What use is power and fame?
"However, since Wei saved the princess of Zhongshan and I owe her such a great favor, I must return the favor."
Yuan Saburo had a sneer on his face when he said this, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was speaking in sarcasm.
Mr. Hu stroked his goatee and bowed respectfully, "Your Highness is intelligent."
Yuan Sanlang waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, go out and greet them on my behalf. No matter what, we have to save face and not let the Qinghe Wei clan make a fool of themselves."
Zhongshan State is now his Zhongshan State.
So what if Yuan Yuwan comes back? As long as she stays in Zhongshan, she will have to be humble to him in the future.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling happy.
I really want to see what kind of expression the eldest sister, who used to be so high and mighty, would have when she learned the bad news about her mother and brother.
………
When Wei Xiyin took small steps and walked to the vicinity of Zhongren County, she saw a large group of troops coming to greet her from afar.
The two leading generals were covered in dust and dirt, but their faces showed joy.
Wait closer.
A large group of people on the opposite side knelt down, which was quite impressive.
"Greetings, Princess!"
Princess Zhongshan had a kind expression on her face and said softly, "Everyone, please stand up."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers got up and dispersed consciously, revealing the flat road in the middle to escort the princess.
Although there is nothing to protect at home, at least the ceremony should be grand.
The two generals stepped forward and saluted again.
Wei Xiyin and others acted as a backdrop, watching General Chen pour out his heartfelt feelings to the princess with tears in his eyes.
