When Wei Qingyan heard the servant report, she hurried out of her yard.
Murong Shuo also knew about it, and he thought it was his sister who came back.
"The granddaughter-in-law has met her grandmother."
When Wei Qingyan saw the Shangshu's wife, she immediately bowed to her.
"Grandson pays his respects to grandma, wishing grandma good health!"
Murong Shuo met the Shangshu's wife and paid his respects to her.
"Okay, okay, no need to be polite!"
The Shangshu’s wife said.
"Grandma, where's my sister? Where's my mother?"
Not seeing his mother and sister, Murong Shuo asked the Shangshu's wife.
"Your mother and sister have gone to the border to look for your father. You should make arrangements for them. They will all stay here until Zhijun and your mother return. You can't neglect them, understand?"
The Shangshu's wife said warningly.
She was afraid that Wei Qingyan would give them a hard time, so she warned them in advance.
"Don't worry, grandma. I will make arrangements for them and treat them as a family."
Wei Qingyan immediately promised.
"Okay, I'm relieved. Sister Zhuang, Sister Zhang, I'll go back to the Shangshu Mansion first and come over tomorrow to show you around the capital."
The Shangshu's wife said to Zhuang Die and Zhang Chan.
"Okay, go back now. Come and play with us tomorrow."
Zhuang Die immediately drove them away.
"That's right, we adapt very well. Go back and be with your husband."
Zhang Chan said jokingly.
She gave the Shangshu's wife a look that said, "You know what I mean."
The Shangshu's wife blushed and didn't look at Zhang Chan. She hurriedly left the general's mansion and returned to the Shangshu's mansion.
Wei Qingyan arranged Zhuang Die, Huo Jin, Zhang Chan and others to live in Gao Zhijun's yard.
The general's mansion is a place used to entertain guests and eat.
The second courtyard was where Madam Murong lived. Ever since Gao Zhijun's incident eleven years ago, when she was sent back to the old house by Murong Yuanbo, the second courtyard had been empty.
The third courtyard is where Murong Yuanbo lives.
The fourth courtyard is the courtyard of Murong Fu and Murong Shuo.
The fifth courtyard is Murong Zhixuan's (Gao Zhijun) courtyard.
The back hood is where the servants live.
Each courtyard has east and west wings. Each wing has two master bedrooms, each with two side rooms. There are also six guest rooms, a study, a bathroom, a toilet, a small kitchen, a dining hall, and a private storeroom.
Murong Zhixuan lives in the east wing.
Wei Qingyan arranged for Huo Jin, Zhang Chan, and Zhuang Die to live in the west wing. They were accompanied by Sun Tiechi and his wife and their children, Sun Tiehai and his wife and their children, Zhou Yuyi, and Qian Xiaocui.
In Murong Zhixuan's courtyard, Wei Qingyan arranged for Huo Jinxiu, Gu Yunying, Hong Qiujue and his wife, Huo Jinhao and his wife and their children, Huo Jinting and his wife, Huo Jinqing and his wife and their children, Huo Jinbai and their children.
Huo Jinchuan, Huo Jinfeng, Huo Wenzhuo, Huo Wenlong and others stayed in Murong Shuo's yard.
The servants then moved to the back house and lived with the servants of the general's mansion.
Arrangements were made to welcome them that evening.
Murong Yuanbo rushed back to the border without stopping and finally arrived at the border of Youzhou ten days later.
"General, thank God, you are finally back."
The soldiers guarding the barracks said excitedly, "With the general in charge, why should we be afraid of those Tatar barbarians?"
"We're back. Cheer up, everyone. Let's drive these barbarians away."
Murong Yuanbo said to encourage them.
"Yes, General!"
The soldier said.
Murong Yuanbo entered his military camp, and the General of Cavalry and other generals and captains rushed over upon hearing the news.
"Meet the General!"
The General of Cavalry and his men saluted Murong Yuanbo.
"Get up."
Murong Yuanbo waved his hand and asked them to stand up.
"Great! The general is back. We are no longer afraid of those bastards and barbarians."
"Yes, with the return of the great general, those barbarians will surely be frightened out of their wits and will return to their wild and untamed lands."
"Please, General, lead us to kill all the barbarians and force them to flee in despair."
"General, please lead us and kill all the barbarians. They will come alive but will not return alive."
The generals spoke one by one.
In an inconspicuous corner, a man in a yellow shirt stood, his head lowered, trying to minimize his presence. His eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
"Well, I'm glad you all have such ambitions. Once you've rested and recuperated, I'll lead you to kill all the barbarians. Now go back and prepare. In two days, we'll have a decisive battle with the Tatars."
Murong Yuanbo was very pleased to see that everyone's morale was greatly boosted. It seemed that they had not been scared these days.
How could the soldiers he led be cowards?
"Yes, General!"
The General of Cavalry said this with his generals.
"The General of the Cavalry stays here, and you guys leave."
Murong Yuanbo said.
Except for the General of Cavalry, everyone else left Murong Yuanbo's room, and the flashing man followed them out.
Murong Yuanbo winked at his deputy general, who immediately received the signal and followed the flashing man out.
The man thought he had not been discovered, but he was wrong. The careful Murong Yuanbo had suspected him shortly after he came in, but he just kept his distance so as not to alert the enemy.
"Tell me, what is this? Why did the news of my leaving the camp spread and even reached the ears of the Tartars?"
After everyone left, Murong Yuanbo put on a stern expression and angrily asked the General of Cavalry.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what went wrong. I've been searching for a long time but can't find anything."
The General of Cavalry immediately knelt down and explained.
"No clue? Are you not investigating carefully, or are you harboring ulterior motives? The speed with which they gathered a hundred thousand troops from Tartar and how quickly they arrived here meant they knew the news shortly after I left. What does this mean? It means there's a high probability that there was a traitor among those who attended the meeting that day."
Murong Yuanbo looked at the General of Cavalry and spoke analytically.
"A traitor? It's my fault. I failed to keep an eye on the barracks."
The General of Cavalry said.
"Forget it. I will find the traitor. I hope it has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, don't blame me. I am cruel and merciless and will punish you according to military law."
Murong Yuanbo said.
"General, you are wronged! I will never betray you, nor would I betray you, nor would I ever do anything that would sell out my country for personal gain."
The General of Cavalry immediately defended himself.
"It better be this way, otherwise this general will make you regret this decision."
"Get out! In one hour, officers above the fifth rank will have a meeting."
Murong Yuanbo said to the General of Cavalry.
In fact, he didn't believe that the General would do something to betray his country for personal gain. He just reminded him and tested him. After all, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. You can only draw the skin of a tiger but not its bones.
"Yes, General! I'll take my leave!"
After the General of Cavalry finished speaking, he left Murong Yuanbo's room and returned to his room.
