"The general has returned to the capital!"
There was a startled cry downstairs, and Jiang Li saw that the street, which had been deserted just a moment ago, was suddenly bustling with people.
After a while, everyone automatically divided into two sides, looking towards the city gate.
"Brother is smart, right?"
Jiang Mubai was extremely proud of himself as he finally had the opportunity to show off in front of Jiang Li.
Seeing Jiang Li giving him a thumbs up, Jiang Mubai wanted to laugh out loud three times. Fortunately, he still had some rationality and repeatedly told himself to be a steady brother and not be outdone by those guys who were about to come back.
“Here it comes!”
Hearing the voices of the crowd below, Jiang Li also hurriedly headed towards the outside of the city.
As the sound of horse hooves came closer, the military flag with the word "Ning" on it first caught Jiang Li's eye.
"General! General!"
"Welcome back to Beijing, General!"
After seeing who was coming, everyone was stunned for a moment, then cheered:
"Congratulations to the major generals on their triumphant return!"
"Congratulations to the major generals on their triumphant return!"
“…”
Seeing how skilled everyone was, Jiang Li knew that this was not the first time this had happened.
I felt a little more proud in my heart.
These are her father and brothers.
"Second brother, look, isn't that your sister next to fifth brother?"
Jiang Qing was riding on his horse, nodding and smiling habitually to the people lining the aisle to welcome him. He felt the gazes from above falling on him. When he turned his head, he saw that brat Jiang Mubai waving at him.
What made his mind go blank was the woman standing next to Jiang Mubai.
She has curved eyebrows, eyes as bright as stars, and a delicate and small face. If you look closely at her eyebrows and eyes, she looks a bit like her mother.
Jiang Qing just felt that he had never seen such a beautiful girl.
Jiang Mubai had just introduced the people who were about to come to her one by one. When Jiang Li saw her elder brother looking at her, she immediately smiled slightly, and the dimples that were faintly visible on her cheeks were very beautiful.
"What? Sister? Where is my sister?"
After hearing this, Jiang Zhong quickly looked over.
Like Jiang Qing, he was stunned.
The four brothers looked at Jiang Li stupidly until the horse took them away.
Then I cursed in my heart more than one sentence:
"It's over. I actually forgot to say hello to my sister. Damn it! Damn it! I hope my sister won't be upset."
"My sister is so pretty, will she think I'm too dark? It's over, it's over. I should have listened to my second brother and stayed out in the sun less!"
"My sister is so cute! Damn Jiang Mubai, he actually let him find my sister first!"
The expressions of the several people were different, but Jiang Zhou, the second son of the Jiang family, was as steady as an old dog and did not show any big movement.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you excited to see your sister?"
The third brother narrowed his eyes and leaned over to ask.
"Hmph." Jiang Zhou snorted. "Look at you all, you losers. What's there to be excited about? Isn't it normal for my sister to look like me? I guessed it a long time ago."
“Bang!”
Boss Jiang, who was usually steady, couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this and slapped Jiang Zhou on the back of the head.
Jiang Li was amused by his brothers' reactions. Looking at their backs, he finally let out the anger that he had been holding in his heart.
"Huh?" Jiang Mubai frowned as if he had noticed something was wrong. "Where's my father?"
Normally, my father always walks in the front, so why are there only those four guys this time?

The imperial palace.
In the court.
Censor Chen was still arguing with a minister, and the emperor was trying hard to stifle a yawn when he heard the eunuch suddenly whisper in his ear, "Your Majesty, General Jiang has returned to the palace to report and is now outside the palace."
"What?" The emperor sat up abruptly, startling the minister who was refuting Censor Chen. As if his defenses had suddenly broken, he knelt on the ground and howled, "Your Majesty, I really didn't mean that. I didn't know the truth at the time, so I reported it to the princess. I know I was wrong!"
"Hmph, you can do whatever you want without knowing the truth, Lord Yuan? According to you, if I blindfolded you and fed you shit, would you still eat it? Anyway, if you don't know the truth, you can be fearless, right?"
Censor Chen seemed to have caught the other party's loophole and immediately refuted it.
"Yue!" Lord Yuan almost vomited. Before he could say anything else, the emperor frowned and said, "Alright, alright, step aside for now. Come, quickly summon Lord Jiang into the palace!"
Before everyone could react and figure out who this Lord Jiang was, they saw Jiang Yao, dressed in armor, approaching aggressively.
"Your Majesty, I, Jiang Yao, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."
"Lord Jiang, please rise quickly! Lord Jiang has led our troops to a crushing defeat against the Tartars and has captured another city for me. I am so pleased!"
The emperor was just about to ask why the other Jiang family members were not there when Jiang Yao slowly said, "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you."
The emperor was stunned. "Okay, Lord Jiang, if you have anything to say, please get up and tell me. How come you haven't returned to the capital for so long? Has the general become distant from me?"
This was unlike Jiang Yao's character. Every time he won a battle, he never cared about rewards. The emperor even thought that he didn't care about rewards at all and just had a quirk of liking to fight.
"Your Majesty! I have only one request: I never want to go out to fight again! If you don't agree, I will kneel down and get up!"
"What?" Everyone was stunned when these words came out.
What? What? Is that something Jiang Yao could say? Doesn't he love fighting? Besides, if he doesn't fight anymore, who will?
