Chapter 153: The Mighty General

The next day was the day that the second son had agreed on in his letter home, the day they would return to the capital in triumph.

In the past few days, the story of the mighty general defeating the enemy on the battlefield, blocking the enemy outside the pass, and making the Xiongnu unable to form an army had been reported back to the capital.

The people had been talking about it for many days, and when they heard that the mighty general was going to bring the general back to the capital today, the people spontaneously stood on both sides of the city gate, lining up to make a path for the mighty general, and the people stood on both sides of the path to welcome him.

This behavior was tacitly approved by the emperor. The current emperor was a wise ruler, who trusted people when he employed them and would not employ them if he doubted them. He never worried that the generals and their achievements would be greater than his own, at least he would not show it on the surface.

The people of Daliang really love peace. Since they don't want to fight, they are even more grateful to the generals who won the battle and prevented foreign invasions.

When Qin Xixi and the others arrived at the city gate, the traffic was already blocked.

They couldn't take the avenue reserved for generals and soldiers, so they went to the restaurant with the best view - the restaurant where they watched the parade of the top scholar last time.

This time, the shopkeeper didn't "embarrass" them. When he saw Qin Shu, he warmly welcomed them to Room No. 2.

"This is the best place to see the mighty general. There is no restaurant in the whole capital with a better view than ours!"

Qin Xixi had watched the parade last time, and the view here was indeed good. She nodded in agreement, and the two began to wait for the mighty general and the second brother to arrive.

There was no school that day, and it was rare for Qin Qiting to accompany Qin Shu and Xixi to join in the fun.

However, he went separately from the main force of the Qin family because he still had some academic issues to discuss with the teacher.

When he packed up his things and wanted to walk from the school to the restaurant, he saw a familiar figure.

Qin Qiting looked closely and saw the dirty figure in front of him - wasn't that the third brother?

He was surprised, how did the third brother become like this? In just one day, he had fallen into such a miserable state.

He did not care about anything else and hurriedly ran in the direction of Lao San, and asked the servants to follow him quickly, because he was determined to catch Lao San.

Unexpectedly, Lao San had already discovered Qin Qiting. He was also horrified and ran towards the alley in a hurry, and disappeared in a flash.

The servants were all carrying book baskets, and they could not run as fast as Lao San.

Qin Qiting was very anxious, so he asked a guard to look for Lao San, and then secretly followed him to avoid being discovered by him.

Thinking that staying here would not help much, but would make Lao San run faster, Qin Qiting sighed and continued to rush to the restaurant.

When Qin Qiting arrived at the restaurant, there were still beads of sweat on his face.

Qin Shu was a little surprised.

"How come you are sweating in this winter?"

Qin Qiting said with a wry smile.

"I just ran into the third brother on the road. His clothes were dirty and a little torn. He looked like a little beggar. He ran away when he saw me and hid from me. I sent a guard to find him and follow him secretly to make sure nothing happened to the third brother."

Qin Shu was also a little upset when she heard about the miserable condition of the third brother.

Her people had been looking for the third brother for a long time but couldn't find him now, but Qin Qiting ran into him.

"He turned himself into a little beggar. No wonder your uncle Yang and the others didn't find him."

Qin Qiting said hesitantly after hearing this.

"I'm afraid that the third brother didn't do it on purpose. He probably didn't want to be so vicious, but he really went through something..."

Qin Shu felt even worse after hearing this. She felt distressed and speechless.

"He is the first person in the capital to make himself look so miserable in one day."

Qin Shu thought about it and didn't send anyone to catch the third brother directly. She just asked some thugs to find the third brother and follow him in the dark to prevent him from being abducted.

"The mighty general is coming!"

Someone shouted on the street, and the people screamed in surprise.

Qin Shu and the others were also attracted by the shouting. When they looked downstairs, they saw a team coming slowly. The

one riding the horse in the front was the mighty general. He was wearing armor and his whole body was upright. At first glance, he was a brave and skilled general.

The second brother followed closely behind, and the two chatted from time to time, watching the mighty general value him very much.

Xiao Xixi saw the second brother first, and found that her second brother's face had more edges and corners.

I don't know if it's because they trained too hard, the second brother has lost weight again, or his face has become more mature in this year.

But in short, the second brother is different from before, and the change is from the inside out.

[The second brother seems to be more handsome than before he left! He has grown up. ]

Xiao Xixi praised with satisfaction.

But Xiao Xixi always praised with criticism, and she shook her head again.

[It's a pity that the second brother's emotional intelligence is still the same as before, not good at all. ]

Xiao Xixi's praise and criticism made Qin Shu burst out laughing.

But little Xixi thought that Qin Shu was smiling because she saw the mighty general!

Qin Xixi also shifted her gaze to the mighty general riding a horse in front, and her eyes immediately lit up.

[This one is not bad either, he can be the new father! He is so handsome! ]

Qin Shu heard what little Xixi was thinking and almost spit out the tea she had just drunk.

What was Xixi talking about, she was actually trying to match her up again!

Qin Shu suddenly had a headache, it seemed that little Xixi was still too idle, she became a little matchmaker at such a young age.

She had only met the mighty general once, and even the second son was able to join his army because of the relationship with the little emperor's grandson.

Now Xixi said that he was her new father, wasn't it too delusional.

Qin Shu knew that Xixi wanted a new father, but no matter how much she wanted him, he couldn't have a mighty general. This was simply a case of overstepping one's authority!

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. Not only did Qin Shu hear Qin Xixi's voice, but Qin Qiting also heard it.

He had previously been envious of his second brother's demeanor, but now he turned his gaze to the mighty general in front of him.

After seeing this, Qin Qiting immediately felt that Qin Xixi was right!

This mighty general is an upright man at first glance, and he has military merits. He is a real man who can protect his mother. Compared with Zhou Yiyang, he is much better!

Qin Qiting thought of this, and felt that it was too much of a disgrace to compare him with Zhou Yiyang. After all, there are men better than Zhou Yiyang everywhere.

Little Xixi didn't know that Qin Shu had heard her thoughts. At this time, she deliberately jumped up and down to attract Qin Shu's attention, and babbled something, stretched out her little arm and pointed in the direction of the mighty general.

[Mom, seize the opportunity, this should be the best new father! ]
