Seeing his unwavering loyalty, Shen Zhiheng decided to arrange for him to meet Xiao Yanyue.
But Xu Yong refused, saying he had to catch up with those people quickly. Judging from their hurried manner, they were probably terrified, and if he was too late, he might not be able to catch up.
Shen Zhiheng gave him some dried fruit to take on the road and said he would definitely pass on his words to his young prince.
Xu Yong finally felt relieved. The people he would follow in the future might not know of his existence, but they must know that there were many people whose hearts were with the deceased Crown Prince and the young prince.
His little prince will never be alone; there are many people working hard for his future.
Clutching his bundle tightly, Xu Yong spurred his horse and rode away. He needed to return to the capital to monitor the movements of those nobles, and if they took any action, he would immediately notify them.
Once the man and horse had run far away, Shen Zhiheng withdrew his gaze and, as he prepared to go home, immediately informed Xiao Yanyue of the incident.
For that child, the presence of such a person is surely a source of comfort.
When Xiao Yanyue heard the news, she had just returned from the training ground, covered in sweat, and was about to take a shower. After hearing it, she felt as if her heart was warming up as well.
It turns out that, without his knowledge, there were people working tirelessly for him, even taking great risks.
He accepted this favor.
Looking at the sliver of green sprouting in the distance, Xiao Yanyue felt that life had finally taken a turn for the better and there was hope.
"Grandpa Shen, thank you for coming all this way to tell me this news. It's really important to me."
The boy had a solemn expression and a maturity beyond his years. His slightly sweaty cheeks in the sunlight gave him a feeling of winter frost and snow, making people afraid to look directly at him.
Shen Zhiheng thought to himself, "Oh no!" If he keeps growing like this, his looks alone will make countless young girls unable to forget him, not to mention his extraordinary martial arts skills.
I wonder if he'll be lucky enough to actually become an elder in his family.
That girl Mianmian is obviously clueless. She has the advantage of being close to the source, but she treats everyone like she's taking care of a child and never thinks about things in that direction.
As elders, they couldn't offer any advice or reminders, so they could only let them develop as they pleased.
However, if such an outstanding child could eventually become one of our own, that would be an incredible stroke of luck.
Just thinking about this perfect couple made him feel incredibly happy.
In Shen Zhiheng's eyes, his precious child was worthy of even the best gods in heaven, but if he had to choose from the mortal world, only Xiao Yanyue could barely meet his requirements as her maternal grandfather.
If the two don't end up together, just finding a husband for his child will probably drive him crazy.
It's so difficult, so incredibly difficult!
Over the years, he had led nearly 100,000 soldiers in the military, yet he couldn't find a single one who was worthy of his precious daughter.
There's no way around it; the more you know how wonderful your own child is, the more conflicted you become when choosing her future husband.
He wasn't worried that his precious daughter would be bullied after she got married. If there were any fools who didn't know their place, and she refused to fight back, he would risk his reputation and go to their door to take her home.
However, given Guai Bao's personality, no matter how much she likes someone, she probably won't let the other person's family torment her. She might even give up on the man altogether and sever all ties with his awful relatives.
Thinking of this, he felt much more at ease.
Sigh, as elders, no matter how capable our children are, we can't help but have things we worry about.

Shen Xingmian is looking in the mirror in her spatial dimension. After the New Year, she will be thirteen years old.
Looking at the flawless, perfectly elegant young woman in the mirror, she felt very satisfied.
Unlike the withered and emaciated state of my previous life, in this life, the occasional throbbing pain in my chest indicates that my body is already maturing.
She didn't care much about that; what she cared about more was her height.
In her past life, she was born in the north, but because she lacked food and clothing as a child and often suffered from hunger and cold, she only grew to 1.55 meters tall.
The shortest of her female classmates was 1.6 meters tall, and the tallest was even 1.7 meters tall.
Even though she has great proportions, she still cares a little. If she had the chance to grow taller, that would be wonderful.
She roughly compared it to the wall and then measured it with a tape measure. The measurement of 1.53 meters made her feel more at ease.
After all, she's only thirteen years old. She should still be able to grow for another two years. Ideally, she should grow to 1.6 meters tall before her first period so that she can feel completely at ease.
She never wanted to be the shortest girl in a group of girls again!
Shen Xingmian returned to the mirror and examined herself. If she didn't have any special abilities, she would prefer to dress in an unattractive way and wear men's clothing when going out, which would greatly increase her safety.
But given her current situation, it's somewhat unnecessary.
Even if she dresses up nicely, no one can do anything to her, so there's no need to worry about that.
Yes, she's already planning to go out and take a look.
The weapons and armor have been prepared, and the horses bred in the space have been sent to the military camp. They are all sleek, healthy, and strong.
With a little training, it can become an excellent warhorse.
If we leave enough seeds and food at home, there won't be any problems even if she comes back in the fall.
She really wanted to see the world.
She had been trapped in the North by ice and snow for several months. If it weren't for the things she had to do, she probably would have ridden her snowball out long ago.
Xue Tuan plans to bring two horses with her on this trip, leaving two suitable ones for her cousin.
After all, we were going to travel a long distance, so a mount was really important. If we rode a horse, it would be slow and very bumpy, which would be too much of a hassle.
Shen Xingmian had almost finished planning. First, he would find his second uncle and get his little cousin completely cured. Then, he would go to the capital to see if those corrupt officials had become any more sensible after a winter.
If they have any, let them do the work; if not, take the opportunity to get rid of a few.
However, the most important thing right now is to convince her family to let her travel alone.
Yes, she didn't plan to bring anyone with her. Her maternal grandfather and eldest uncle's family would definitely stay in the North to work on development, as would her parents; they were needed here.
As for Dao Dao, since he has already become his father's apprentice, he should stay by his side and study hard.
The reason why it was my father who took on the apprentice, instead of my eldest uncle, was because the whole family felt that while martial arts were important, literary skills were also important if one wanted to inherit the throne.
If he only has his current level of education, it would be enough for him to be a minor official, but it would be insufficient for him to be the ruler of a country and to stabilize the nation.
Besides, his maternal grandmother is still here; they've just reunited, so how could they be separated?
In the end, she didn't think anyone could be with her.
