Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said softly: "It should be your Queen who asked you to come!"
"I don't know what it is?"
At this point in time, it would be strange if the Queen of Shu Kingdom had not deliberately sent two women here.
Upon hearing this, Li Yu came out of his arms, and then said with tears in her eyes, "It is indeed His Majesty who asked us to come, but His Majesty has no purpose."
"Just say we haven't seen each other for a long time, and then ask us to come and meet you, nothing else."
Hearing Li Yu say this, Li Ge was speechless.
What a good sister.
Nothing happened yet, he just confessed everything.
Hearing this, Zhao Hao smiled softly and reached out to scratch her nose.
"Okay, since you said it, I believe it!"
Li Ge, who was standing by, was speechless again when she heard him say that.
"Why, if I tell you this, you won't believe it, sir?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Princess, what are you talking about?"
As he said that, he let go of Li Yu, took the other's hand, walked aside and sat down.
The three of them chatted for a while before Zhao Hao confirmed that the two women did not have any special purpose for coming this time.
Finally, when they were about to part, Zhao Hao said to the two women, "Please go back and tell Her Majesty the Empress."
"Just say, I remember the favor you did me last time!"
After saying this, he said goodbye to the two women and led the army towards Luoye City.
A few days later, the army successfully returned to Luoye City.
Before returning, Yu Ping had already received the news.
After arranging the defense, he immediately rushed to Luoye City in person.
Zhao Hao didn't expect that Yu Ping would come in person.
Moreover, he still looked worried.
Seeing Yu Ping like this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but be puzzled: "What's wrong with the general?"
Yu Ping took a deep breath and said, "My Lord, His Majesty has ordered you to return to the capital immediately after returning to Luoye City."
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty already knows the situation here?"
Yu Ping nodded and said, "Of course I know. Hey, Master, you should think about how to explain it to His Majesty!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Do I need to explain anything?"
Yu Ping said, "On the south bank of the Chu River, the Wu army could have launched a strong attack, but they did not move and watched the Duke lead his army across the river."
"Master, please don't say anything. There is nothing else going on here."
"Doesn't this need an explanation?"
"Sir, put yourself in His Majesty's shoes and think about it. What would His Majesty think?"
Zhao Hao shrugged and said calmly, "Your Majesty can think whatever you want. What does it have to do with me?"
Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Yu Ping's expression suddenly changed: "My Lord, this is not the way to be a minister!"
Zhao Hao said calmly: "But this is my way."
Zhao Hao looked at Yu Ping and said, "I appreciate the fact that the general can come to Luoye City in person."
"However, General, you don't have to worry about me after I return to Beijing!"
Seeing this, Yu Ping didn't say anything else, just shook his head and sighed.
Zhao Hao did not stay in Luoye City for too long. After a simple rest for one night, he and Wu Song set off with the Qingqi Squadron and returned to the Imperial Capital.
Ten days later.
Imperial Capital.
When Zhao Hao came back, he did not go back to the princess's mansion, but went directly to the palace.
After Eunuch Qu passed the message, he walked in calmly.
Jiang Wan'er seemed to be the same as before, sitting behind the desk, reviewing the memorials in front of her.
Hearing footsteps, she slowly raised her head.
The two looked at each other, Zhao Hao bowed and said, "Zhao Hao pays respect to His Majesty!"
Jiang Wan'er's eyes flashed, and then she stood up from the chair.
"You... are finally back!"
Zhao Hao smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Yes, I'm finally back!"
Jiang Wan'er let out a long breath and said faintly, "You don't know how worried I have been about you during this period of time!"
Zhao Hao said calmly: "It is my fault that Your Majesty has been worried about this!"
Jiang Wan'er walked up slowly and gently grabbed Zhao Hao's hand.
"Don't say that. After all, this decision was made by me..."
"Zhao Hao, I hope you don't blame me. At that time, I could only approve of your plan."
Zhao Hao said softly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to explain. I understand everything."
Jiang Wan'er nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. I'm just afraid that you won't understand and blame me in your heart!"
Zhao Hao said calmly: "How could I possibly blame Your Majesty? After all, this strategy was proposed by me."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Wan'er smiled slightly: "Then I feel relieved!"
"I already know what happened to you in Wu."
"You have killed 50,000 Wu soldiers in a row, which has consumed a lot of Wu's energy. I will reward you well!"
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you are too serious. In fact, the strategic goal this time has not been achieved."
"At present, there are still more than 100,000 Wu and Shu troops in Tongshan City."
“I’m afraid that the Copper Mountain cannot be taken back in a short period of time!”
Jiang Wan'er shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. We have gained a lot now."
"At least, the Kingdom of Yue is in our hands."
"As for Tongshan, it will only tie up more of our troops!"
"It's nothing!"
Zhao Hao took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to ask?"
"If not, then I'll go back first. I haven't seen Yongning for a long time. I miss her a lot!"
Jiang Wan'er's eyes flashed, and she said, "Okay, if that's the case, then you should go back and reunite with them first."
"In two days, I will summon you to the palace to discuss in detail!"
Zhao Hao nodded, bowed again, turned around and left the Pepper Room.
Looking at his departing figure, the smile on Jiang Wan'er's face slowly faded.
Of course, she was clearly aware of Zhao Hao's alienation and indifference.
This is also why she did not ask why Xie Daoxun let him go.
Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry.
You'll know eventually!
Coming out of the palace, Zhao Hao stopped and looked up at the night sky full of stars.
Then, he let out a long breath and sneered.
Seeing him come back, Yongning and his aunt Jiang Yiren immediately came out to greet him.
When they saw him, tears welled up in the eyes of both girls.
Yongning threw himself directly into his arms.
Zhao Hao hugged the other person and comforted him softly for a while, and only then did Yongning stop crying.
"Okay, okay, stop crying. I'm back safe and sound, right?"
"I'm a little hungry, give me something to eat!"
Jiang Yiren on the side said quickly: "You guys talk first, auntie will go prepare food!"
"It will be ready soon!"
Having said that, he wiped away his tears and turned away immediately.
Seeing Jiang Yiren leave, Yongning threw himself into Zhao Hao's arms again.
"Do you know how worried I am about you?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, don't cry. By the way, where's the child? Let me see the child!"
