Upon hearing this, Lin Zao and Tang's mother's faces immediately lit up with delighted smiles.
"Is it really true?"
The butler nodded with a smile: "Of course it's true. I just received the message from the General."
Tang's mother: "Thank God! We're finally back!"
Even the children jumped for joy when they heard that their father would be back soon. What a happy day!
Although Lin Zao didn't say anything, she was just as excited as Tang's mother.
Tang Jian has been gone for almost three months now.
The war, which was originally thought to last more than six months, ended so quickly, which surprised many people.
The reason for this is probably only known to Lin Zao and King Cheng.
After all, this time they possessed sharp steel knives, iron hooves on their horses, crossbows, and so on.
However, Tang Jian's ability to capture the enemy's marshal so quickly was indeed closely related to the weapon Lin Zao gave him.
Tang Jian rode his Benyue horse at full speed back.
This time was different from the past. In the past, even if he won a battle, he would stay in the military camp and dare not relax at all.
Now he knows that someone is waiting for him to return: his elderly mother and children, and the lover he cherishes.
He couldn't wait a moment longer, so after they reached a provisional compensation agreement with the Wuyi people, he immediately ordered his soldiers to break camp and return.
As for himself, he rode Benyue, taking Sun Ding and Tian Buer with him, and left the group ahead of time, rushing back to the main city of Ganzhou under the stars and moon.
What would have taken eight or nine days was compressed into just five days, allowing them to return to the General's Mansion.
"The general is back! The general is back!" The guards standing at the gate of the general's mansion shouted excitedly as soon as they saw Tang Jian riding his horse galloping over.
Immediately, a servant from the general's mansion spread the word loudly, and in a short while, the sound reached the ears of Lin Zao and Tang's mother.
Tang's mother was in a wheelchair, so her movements were slower.
As for Lin Zao, she had already run outside and disappeared from sight.
Lin Zao hadn't run halfway when she saw Tang Jian, dressed in silver armor and wearing a cloak, walking quickly inside.
The moment their eyes met, they forgot everything else; everything around them seemed to fade away, and only each other remained in their eyes.
Lin Zao flashed a bright smile and ran towards Tang Jian.
Tang Jian also walked quickly towards Lin Zao, opened his arms, and hugged Lin Zao tightly as she rushed over, as if the missing piece in his heart had finally been filled.
He rested his chin on Lin Zao's head and took a deep breath of her scent. The familiar fragrance filled his nostrils and instantly dispelled his fatigue.
I just feel like I can never hug you enough.
Once again embraced by this tall and safe man, Lin Zao felt a surge of excitement and longing, and tears welled up in her eyes.
That is a testament to happiness.
"Cough, cough!"
Tang's mother coughed. She didn't mean to interrupt the young couple, but all the servants present were staring at them with wide eyes.
It would be embarrassing if word got out, so she could only wake up the couple who were lost in their own world.
If they want to be affectionate, wait until they return to their own courtyard. Then they can be as affectionate as they want without anyone saying anything; she'll be happy about it.
Maybe I can give myself another grandson!
Lin Zao gradually recovered, and upon hearing Tang's mother's voice, she stiffened and then somewhat embarrassedly pushed Tang Jian away.
Tang Jian took two steps back, feeling a little embarrassed that his mother had witnessed the scene.
