Ling Lang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will supervise them."
Ling Lang and Bai Ying exchanged a smile.
Although one is in the north and the other in the west, the north and the west are not far apart. Having gone through this life-and-death experience, they are destined to become good brothers and will definitely visit each other often.
"Go ahead." Xuan Yuanzhan really had no worries about them.
These two are now the people he trusts most besides Mu Lingchen. With them guarding the border for him, what worries does he have?
"We take our leave."
The group bowed again.
Afterwards, Zhang Debiao, Li Yuanbao, Qian Ergou, Zhao Wanqing and others heard them say goodbye and all knelt down on the ground.
Zhang Debiao, speaking on behalf of the emperor, said: "Your Majesty, I am a rough man and do not know how to speak sweet words. I only know that it was you who entered Silver Tiger Stronghold and recruited us bandits, giving us a chance to reform and start anew. You gave us the opportunity to be incorporated into the military and serve the country, and even more importantly, you gave us the chance to shed our skin and become generals. You are like a second parent to us. We will never forget your kindness to us, and we will teach our descendants to never forget Your Majesty's kindness and never do anything to betray Your Majesty or the people!"
Zhang Debiao still remembers how he inadvertently recruited the emperor into their Silver Tiger Stronghold.
Looking back now, it's fortunate that this incident happened, giving those of them who were already mired in the mire a chance to live cleanly and clearly again!
Therefore, the Emperor will always be their benefactor!
Back in Yinhu Village, Xuanyuan Zhan called Zhang Debiao "Big Brother" many times. Zhang Debiao took good care of him at that time, and since they later fought alongside him, he was quite friendly towards Zhang Debiao and the others.
Xuanyuan Zhan stepped forward to help Zhang Debiao up, then patted him on the shoulder: "Follow Bai Ying and make great achievements. I have high hopes for you!"
Xuanyuan Zhan's words, "I have high hopes for you," were absolutely the best encouragement for Zhang Debiao and his team.
The men replied in unison, “Your Majesty, we will certainly not fail to live up to your expectations.”
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at them with satisfaction and smiled, then said to Ling Lang and Bai Ying, "Have a safe journey!"
"Your Majesty, please take care!"
Ling Lang, Bai Ying, and the others bowed to Xuan Yuanzhan once again.
Xuanyuan Zhan waved to them, signaling them to set off.
The group finally got back on their horses.
Ling Lang raised his longsword high and shouted, "Let's go!"
The 300,000-strong army immediately set off in unison.
Before leaving, Tuoba Xiong bowed deeply to Xuanyuan Zhan to express his gratitude.
He never expected that his trip to Dongchu would end without him being abused or treated inhumanely. He left peacefully without even having to pay a price. This was something he had never imagined, something beyond his comprehension and magnanimity.
It has to be said that this trip to Eastern Chu was definitely the most rewarding one in his life!
After everyone left, Xuanyuan Zhan and Mu Lingchen returned to the capital.
"Xuanyuan Zhan..." Mu Lingchen called out to Xuanyuan Zhan as if he had just remembered something, but then realized something and immediately changed his words: "Your Majesty..."
Xuanyuan Zhan, who was running wildly ahead, suddenly stopped.
Mu Lingchen hurriedly spurred his horse to catch up: "Your Majesty..."
As soon as Mu Lingchen opened his mouth, Xuan Yuanzhan glared at him unhappily: "What did you call me?"
"Your Majesty," Mu Lingchen said, finally feeling guilty as he watched Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes widen, "you're already the Emperor, how can I keep calling you Xuan Yuanzhan!"
Xuanyuan Zhan was furious with him: "You call me Your Majesty, huh? I'll grant you a marriage when I get back. I think the daughter of Minister Zhong is quite nice."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lingchen immediately became anxious and hurriedly exclaimed, "What do you mean, 'not bad'? That really weighs a thousand pounds!"
"Xuanyuan Zhan, is Xuanyuan Zhan not good enough?" Mu Lingchen hurriedly caught up and changed the subject, saying, "My little cousin went to the Huangli military camp. Should we send someone to protect him?"
Xuanyuan Zhan raised an eyebrow: "It's alright, Ning'er gave Ye Yu to him, nothing should happen."
Yun'an is a clever kid!
Besides, the Su family army isn't really a bunch of man-eating tigers. Even if they were, they'd have to be careful about who they targeted.
Yun An is his father-in-law's own son, they would never dare to lay a hand on Yun An, they would probably just have some petty thoughts!
Seeing that he was changing the subject, Xuan Yuanzhan continued, "Shouldn't you be seriously considering this marriage? Even if you're not in a hurry, Aunt Tang is!"
Mu Lingchen chuckled dryly, "It's just that I haven't found anyone I click with yet. This is a major life event for me, I can't rush it!"
If you choose the wrong wife, it will affect your whole life, so you must be extremely careful.
Xuan Yuanzhan agreed with this: "Isn't there anyone you like in this capital city? How about I let you go out and meet someone?"
Anyway, there's nothing major happening in the capital right now, so let him go out and relax. Maybe he can even find a wife.
Mu Lingchen, however, was not in a hurry at all: "We just got back from fighting outside, can't you let me have a few days of peace and quiet?"
He didn't want to go out now; besides, where was he going to find a wife if he was just wandering around aimlessly?
Xuanyuan Zhan said helplessly, "It's up to you, but you'd better hurry up. If you can't find someone yourself, I can have Ning'er and the Empress Dowager arrange a marriage for you."
He can wait, but I'm afraid Aunt Tang won't be able to. If she comes to beg the Empress Dowager, she'll definitely have to take care of it.
Besides, Ning'er had been thinking about his marriage before.
Mu Lingchen raised an eyebrow noncommittally and gave up: "If it really doesn't work, then we'll have to trouble Aunt Bai and Cousin Ning'er."
Anyway, he's not picky. As long as the man is decent-looking, well-educated, reasonable, able to manage a household, and good at raising children, that's fine with him!
Xuanyuan Zhan was truly defeated by him.
We'll see if this kid finds his future wife himself, or if his mother and the others find her for him!
Huangli military camp.
Su Yun'an brought a lot of wine for the three generals this time.
"Generals Ling Lang and Bai Ying have returned to the North today. I reckon the three of you will also be returning to Anxian's military camp?"
Li Jinyuan looked at Su Yun'an and smiled, "The three of us were discussing today that we would go to bid farewell to the Emperor tomorrow. We have indeed been a bother in the capital for quite some time."
The new emperor has been on the throne for several days now, and it is indeed time for them to take their leave.
However, since Ling Lang and Bai Ying's troops hadn't left, they felt awkward about bidding farewell to the Emperor. Now that the Emperor had departed, they figured they might as well go along with it and trust that the Emperor wouldn't make things difficult for them.
Su Yun'an nodded: "I knew you were leaving, so I brought you some wine to see you off."
Su Yun'an patted the wine jar and then asked the soldiers to bring several large bowls. He poured a bowl of wine for each of the three men and also poured a large bowl for himself: "Come, Yun'an respectfully toasts my three uncles."
