Su Yun'an had asked almost everything he needed to ask, and they wouldn't be able to answer any more questions.
Su Yun'an was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at the three of them: "Do you want to go back to Northern Wei?"
Su Yun'an's words made the eyes of the three of them light up simultaneously.
How could they not want to return to Northern Wei? They longed to return to Northern Wei day and night.
Without the three of them needing to answer, Su Yun'an already knew their answer: "I can talk to my brother-in-law and ask him to let you return to Northern Wei, and take all of the Su family's troops with you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Songquan immediately became excited and asked, "Are you serious? Will the Emperor really let us return to Northern Wei?"
Su Yun'an raised an eyebrow and said, "As long as my sister and I ask, he won't refuse."
"That's wonderful! We can go back to Northern Wei!" Yun Songquan was so excited that tears were about to stream down his face.
After being away from their homeland for twenty years, they were finally able to return to Northern Wei.
Although Li Jinyuan didn't say anything, it was clear that he was somewhat agitated.
Only Wu Liping remained calm as always. Seeing the two agitated men, he couldn't help but pour cold water on their enthusiasm: "Without our Emperor's order, do you think we can return to Northern Wei!"
The emperor Wu Liping is referring to here is the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty!
His cold water truly extinguished all their enthusiasm.
Yun Songquan and Li Jinyuan immediately slumped their heads, looking as dejected as dogs that had just been pulled out of the water after drowning.
Seeing this, Su Yun'an slammed the military tally in his hand onto the table: "Don't forget the military tally of the Su family army. Isn't it an ancestral rule that your Su family army must obey the military tally? Now I'm using the military tally to order you to come with us to Northern Wei, so you can all return to Northern Wei together, right?"
Su Yun'an's words were a wake-up call!
Yun Songquan instantly became happy again and said excitedly, "The young general is right. Now that the military tally is in the young general's hands, our Su family army must obey the young general's orders. If the young general tells us to return to Northern Wei, then we can return to Northern Wei, right?"
That way, they wouldn't be considered to have disobeyed the Emperor's orders!
After all, following the military tally is the ancestral rule of the Su family army!
Li Jinyuan and Wu Liping also thought that Su Yun'an's suggestion was quite feasible.
Now that the military tally is in the hands of the young general, they have no choice but to obey his orders. So if the young general orders them to return to Northern Wei, and the Emperor of Eastern Chu is willing to let them go, then they can indeed return to Northern Wei.
Wu Liping looked at Su Yun'an and asked, "Is the young general going to Northern Wei to find the great general?"
Su Yun'an nodded: "We all thought Father was gone before, but now that we know he's still alive, we definitely have to find him! Not only am I going to Northern Wei, but Mother and my sister will probably go there too."
The three were somewhat surprised.
I didn't expect that the lady and the young lady would also be going to Northern Wei. But considering that the lady and the general have such a good relationship, it's understandable that they want to go to Northern Wei to find the general.
"You should have maps of the Northern Wei Dynasty, right?"
“Yes.” Li Jinyuan took out a map, still warm from his body, from his inner clothing and unfolded it: “This is a map of our Northern Wei Dynasty.”
Su Yun'an glanced at it, then took out a map of Eastern Chu and spread it out. They looked at the two maps side by side: "How long did it take you to travel from Northern Wei to Eastern Chu?"
That happened twenty years ago, and they couldn't remember it very clearly. Yun Songquan and the others thought carefully for a while before saying, "It should have been less than two months."
Su Yun'an carefully examined the two maps and calculated the time. He also realized that it would indeed take two months to travel from the capital of Eastern Chu to the capital of Northern Wei on foot.
But two months is too long!
Su Yun'an put both maps away together: "I'll borrow these maps for now. After I go back and discuss the specific time and route with my mother and sister, we'll set off."
The three of them now completely regarded Su Yun'an as their master, so naturally they did whatever he said.
After bidding farewell to the three, Su Yun'an took Ye Yu back to the capital city that very night.
Because she was worried about Su Yun'an, Su Xuening didn't sleep well all night.
Xuan Yuanzhan went to the morning court session, and Su Xuening dozed off again in a daze.
"Mother, sister."
She didn't know how long she had slept, but when she heard Su Yun'an's voice, she immediately got up.
"Your Majesty." Bihe and Lülian entered the room together to help Su Xuening with her makeup.
"But has the young master returned?" Su Xuening asked, combing her hair.
Bihe smiled and said, "Yes, I went to see His Majesty as soon as I got back."
With her mind on the Su family army, Su Xuening had no interest in dressing up. She simply washed and washed herself and went to the side hall.
Although Xuanyuan Zhan ascended the throne and assigned palaces to them, they all still live in Chengqian Palace and haven't moved out yet. Duanmu Junyu and Bai Fuya are still living together.
"Mother, Mother."
As soon as Su Xuening entered the room, she bowed to the two of them.
Su Yun'an was indeed there. Upon seeing Su Xuening, he immediately waved excitedly to her, "Sister, come quickly!"
Su Xuening went over and saw two maps spread out on the table. She looked at them carefully before frowning and saying, "These are maps of the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Su Yun'an nodded: "It was given to me by Li Jinyuan and the others."
Upon hearing this, Su Xuening immediately continued, "So, you actually asked?"
Since they gave him the maps of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he must have found out something from them.
Su Yun'an smiled and said, "I've gotten almost everything out of them."
Knowing they were curious, Su Yun'an immediately told them in detail what he had done in the Huangli military camp the night before: "It turns out that my father is the grandson of the Northern Wei emperor. My father's father, who is also our grandfather, was the eldest son of the Northern Wei emperor and was made crown prince by the Northern Wei emperor at a young age. When my grandfather and grandmother died, my father was sent away by them. After the Northern Wei emperor quelled the rebellion, it took more than ten years to find my father's whereabouts. That's why the Su family army was sent to protect my father."
Su Xuening and Duanmu Junyu were also surprised to learn that Su Renzhong had such a complicated and bizarre background.
Su Xuening was silent for a while, then frowned and said, "Since that Northern Wei emperor found my father many years ago, why didn't he bring him back to Northern Wei sooner? Why wait until my father married and had children in Eastern Chu and then use this method to bring him back to Northern Wei?"
When the Su family army appeared, my father was not yet married. If we had brought him back to Northern Wei at that time, he probably wouldn't have resisted at all.
Why did they wait until their father settled down in Eastern Chu before letting him return to Northern Wei? Did the emperor of Northern Wei have some other idea in mind, wanting their father to stay in Eastern Chu as a spy?
Su Xuening asked the same question as Su Yun'an, and Su Yun'an then carefully recounted the situation in Northern Wei that Li Jinyuan and the others had told him: "It is estimated that the emperor of Northern Wei really loves his eldest son, so he also wants to protect the only bloodline of his eldest son, which is his father. That's why he sent a secret army that only the emperor of Northern Wei can control to Eastern Chu to protect his father."
Su Xuening suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
If it was to protect his father, then it makes sense, showing that the Northern Wei emperor still cared about his father.
"Only the Northern Wei emperor can control it? So this Su family army is something that no one else in Northern Wei knows about?" Xuan Yuanzhan, who had finished court at some point, seemed to have heard Su Yun'an's words and asked from the doorway.
