Jun Han has a very distinctive appearance. Even though he has rarely been to the capital over the years, most of the guards at the palace gates recognize him.
They had all heard that General Junhan had been assassinated and gone missing when he returned to the capital to report on his duties, and they were very worried. Now that they saw their hero safe and sound, they were extremely excited!
"General Jun, is that you? Have you returned?"
"General Jun is back! That's wonderful!"
"General Jun, have you been injured these past few days?"
They chattered away, their faces, which were about the same age as Junhan, filled with enthusiasm and anticipation, which made Junhan's eyes well up with tears.
He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to everyone, saying, "I am grateful for your concern. I only have minor injuries and am not seriously hurt. I would like to request an audience with His Majesty. May I ask if you may inform him?"
"General Jun, please wait here. I'll go and tell Eunuch An, who is by the Emperor's side, right away." General Jun Han was always approachable, and influenced by him, the guard also started referring to himself as "I".
At this hour, Junyao was still reviewing memorials when Xiao Anzi suddenly burst in excitedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great news! General Junhan has been found and is back! He's waiting outside the palace now."
Junyao waved his long sleeves and said, "Quickly, summon him in."
Those who were on duty today ran exceptionally fast, and Junhan entered in less than a quarter of an hour. He was still wearing the clothes that Tian's mother had made for him, and Junyao recognized him at a glance.
Jun Yao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his guess was correct. The pillar in Tian Family Restaurant was none other than his missing general, Jun Han.
"General Jun's return to the capital has been quite eventful. I almost thought that you had grown tired of the war and quietly retired to your homeland."
Jun Han knelt down: "Your subject dares not." His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, showing neither fear nor flattery.
Seeing no anger on Jun Yao's face, Jun Han explained, "On my way back to the capital, I was assassinated and nearly lost my life. Fortunately, the Tian family saved me. However, the Tian family didn't have enough money to hire a doctor for me, so the blood clot in my brain hasn't cleared up, and I've lost my memories. Yesterday, by chance, I remembered what happened, and after waking up, I rushed to the palace to see Your Majesty."
"Is your injury any better, my dear minister?"
"Your Majesty, please grant me permission to lead troops into battle and capture the traitor Cheng Mu."
"Good!" Jun Yao clapped his hands and laughed, "General Jun is indeed a pillar of our Great Qin. With General Jun in charge, we will surely be able to quell the chaos in the country and bring peace and tranquility back to the people."
Jun Han agreed resolutely: "Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail your trust."
At this time, Lu Qingyan was still in the wine cellar researching how to use Ningyu Grass. How exactly should she prepare it? Should she put it in directly, or crush it to extract the juice and then add it in?
Lu Qingyan looked at the large handful of Ningyu Grass in her hand and felt somewhat worried.
This stuff really smells awful. I didn't notice it yesterday because there was only one plant, but after it grew into a huge patch overnight, the smell was just unbearable.
She seriously doubted whether the wine containing the Jade-Gathering Herb was still drinkable.
She had already asked Tian's parents and Tian Dali, but the method for brewing wine from the Ningyu Grass had been lost, and they didn't know either.
"System, at this point, tell me quickly, do you have a solution?" In desperation, Lu Qingyan finally thought of the sometimes unreliable system.
The only response Lu Qingyan received was a series of snores.
Frustrated, Lu Qingyan threw down the jade-refining herb and returned to the restaurant.
