After traveling day and night for seven days, the group returned to the capital.
Zhao Hao did not go home, but went directly with Qing Xing to the palace to meet Jiang Wan'er.
Seeing him come back and find that he had lost a lot of weight, Jiang Wan'er was also moved.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Wan'er said, "Are you finally back?"
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Things in Qinzhou have been almost dealt with."
"All the miners who died have been buried, and their numbers and families are being counted."
"In addition, there is also a smelting workshop. I have already asked Wang Mengyu and Zheng Zhiqian to rebuild it."
“I believe that after a few months, we will be able to restart.”
Jiang Wan'er nodded and said softly: "This time, you did very well!"
"If you hadn't acted decisively, Tongshan City would have been in danger!"
"I really didn't expect that you could organize all the miners."
"Moreover, they managed to hold off the 50,000-strong Nanchu army for three days!"
"We bought enough time for General Xiao Ye."
Hearing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh miserably and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This has nothing to do with me."
"It's all about the miners' fearlessness."
"It was them who accomplished this impossible feat!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded slightly and let out a long breath.
"yes!"
"These miners are heroes!"
"However, the most important person here is still you!"
"Without you, I believe that no one else would be able to successfully organize them."
"This time, you have made a great contribution!"
"Not only that, he helped General Xiao defeat the 200,000-strong army of Shu."
"After reaching Tucheng, he shot and killed Prince Mu, the military god of Southern Chu, with a crossbow."
"Every one of your contributions is beyond the imagination of others."
"I don't even know how to reward you!"
Zhao Hao said calmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need for me to give you any praise. Your Majesty only needs to include these miners in the army and provide compensation to their families, that will be enough!"
Jiang Wan'er sighed and said, "This is as it should be. Don't worry, I will make all the arrangements!"
"Also, I heard that when you arrived in Qinzhou, you asked Lu Kan to recruit soldiers in the name of Qinzhou City Lord's Mansion, but Lu Kan did not agree?"
Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said, "That is true, but it is indeed too much. It is normal for Lord Lu Kan to be worried."
Jiang Wan'er snorted coldly: "What is he worried about? Is he worried that I will punish him for treason?"
"At such an urgent moment, you have no sense of responsibility at all, and you have no courage to do anything!"
"Such a person, as the ruler of this state, does not think about saving the country from danger."
“It’s abominable!”
Zhao Hao quickly said, "Your Majesty, I may be angry, but Lu Kan did nothing wrong."
"Besides, he is the Right Prime Minister...Your Majesty should raise him high and lower him gently."
"It is not appropriate to impose severe punishment!"
Hearing this, Jiang Wan'er snorted again and said, "I wanted to vent my anger for you, but you're begging for mercy on his behalf!"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "Now, after all, no greater losses have been caused."
Jiang Wan'er said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll obey you and not bother with him for the time being."
"I will deal with him after this war is over!"
Zhao Hao took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first!"
Jiang Wan'er looked at him with her beautiful eyes and nodded: "Okay, let's go back and see Yongning and Zhen'er."
"Little guy, you have grown a lot in this period of time."
Hearing Zhen'er, Zhao Hao's indifferent and tired face became more lively.
After the greeting, he withdrew.
Jiang Wan'er watched him leave, then retracted her gaze and looked at Qing Xing next to her.
Qing Xing then said, "As Your Majesty said, only Lord Zhao can organize the miners this time."
"No one else could have done this."
"In this final stage of the battle, the miners knew they were going to die."
"But they set their eyes on Lord Zhao and saw his extremely determined expression."
"They knew there was no chance of them surviving today."
"But even so, not one of them chose to back down."
"Before they died, each of them walked up to Lord Zhao Hao and saluted him."
"They said that it was Lord Zhao who gave them a second life."
"Today, they got their lives back!"
"Those miners don't understand any sense of patriotism. They only know that today is the day to pay with their lives!"
Jiang Wan'er was moved again. Qing Xing, who was indifferent by nature, could actually say so many words in one breath.
It can be seen how much shock this incident caused in her heart.
Not to mention seeing it with her own eyes, even hearing such a story caused waves in Jiang Wan'er's heart.
After a pause, Qing Xing continued, "However, at the beginning, these miners were still extremely terrified when facing the Nanchu army!"
"They are afraid to step forward."
"At this moment, Lord Zhao Hao took the lead and rushed towards the Southern Chu army!"
Hearing Qing Xing say this, Jiang Wan'er's eyelids suddenly jumped.
"What?"
"Zhao Hao is also on the battlefield?"
This is information that is not included in the memorial.
Qing Xing nodded and said, "Yes, he knew that at that time, if he didn't lead by example, he wouldn't be able to get the miners to move forward!"
"It is because of his encouragement that the miners are so fearless and brave!"
Jiang Wan'er let out a long breath: "He didn't even mention a single word!"
Qing Xing said: "Maybe he doesn't want His Majesty to feel that it's too dangerous."
Jiang Wan'er asked, "Do you think he thinks so?"
…
After leaving the palace, Zhao Hao returned to the princess's mansion as quickly as possible.
At home, the guards had already returned to report.
When he came back, everyone in the house was ready to welcome him.
Yongning and his aunt Jiang Yiren, each holding a child in their arms, were waiting at the gate.
After getting out of the car and seeing the two women and two children, Zhao Hao walked up to them quickly.
I came between the two girls and took a quick look. I saw two little ones who were already fast asleep.
Only then did Zhao Hao look at Yongning and then at his aunt Jiang Yiren.
There was a hint of redness in the beautiful eyes of the two girls.
The aunt could still hold back, but Yongning couldn't hold back any more and tears rolled down.
Zhao Hao smiled softly and reached out his hand to gently wipe away the tears.
"Well, it's back intact."
"Let's go!"
Surrounded by two women and a group of servants, Zhao Hao came to the backyard.
The food had already been prepared and placed on the table.
