Xiao Yanchu could only steal a glance at the mother and daughter when she returned before going back to her room to sleep alone.
General Su and Su Jiu'an set off for Xiaoyue the day after Su Muyao's wedding. Because they were in a hurry, the two rode horses to Xiaoyue first with the gift list, and the betrothal carriages followed.
Upon arriving at Xiaoyue, Yuan Hong personally received General Su and his master.
After experiencing everything in Yunqi, Aya and Su Jiu'an had long harbored feelings for him and would not refuse, so the marriage proposal was a natural progression.
Knowing that his sister was going to marry into the Great Chu, Da Pu was troubled, unsure whether he should stay in Xiao Yue or go to the Great Chu with his sister.
In the end, it was Su Jiu'an who came up with a solution.
Dapu first went to Da Chu with Aya to study under Su Jiu'an and Su Wenzhou, and then returned to Xiaoyue after he turned fifteen.
That's settled.
However, due to the upcoming campaign against Bei Li, the wedding date is tentatively set for a later date after the war against Bei Li ends.
After the marriage was arranged, Su Yunfeng and Su Jiu'an did not linger and immediately returned to Da Chu.
Upon their return to the Great Chu, the two received the news.
Bei Li began its attack on Mo Han.
This time, the Northern Li army came with great force, actually mobilizing 30,000 soldiers.
It should be noted that the Great Chu only had 10,000 border troops stationed in Mo Han, and Bei Li was planning to suppress the Mo Han border troops with sheer numbers.
While Su Yunfeng and Su Jiu'an were on their way to Xiaoyue, Xiao Yanchu had already prepared all the necessary supplies, including food, explosives, and military equipment, and deployed the troops accordingly.
As soon as Su Yunfeng and Su Jiu'an arrived, they were summoned to the palace by Xiao Yanchu.
Xiao Yanchu entrusted all affairs of the court to Su Jiu'an and Prime Minister Xu for joint management.
The next day, he and Su Yunfeng led their troops to Mo Han.
Consort Jiang, Old Madam Zhao, Madam Su, Su Ruojin, and Su Muyao all came to the city gate to see them off.
Xiao Yanchu walked up to Su Ruojin, looked at her babbling daughter in her arms, lowered his head and gently kissed the daughter's little face, looking at Su Ruojin affectionately, "Wait for me."
Su Ruojin nodded. "You will definitely come back safely."
After bidding farewell to the Su family members, Su Yunfeng came to Xiao Jin, glanced at Nian'er, and instructed Su Ruojin, "Take good care of your mother and Mu Yao for me."
At this moment, in Su Yunfeng's eyes, if something really happened, Xiao Jin would be more composed than Madam Su.
Su Ruojin nodded, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Mother and Mu Yao."
As Madam Su and Su Muyao watched the departing group, they couldn't help but take out handkerchiefs and wipe their eyes.
Su Ruojin walked to her side and comforted her, "Mother, Mu Yao, don't worry, Father and the others will surely return victorious this time."
"I'll go to Wanfu Temple tomorrow to pray for your father and the others."
This is something Madam Su would always do after Su Yunfeng and Su Wenzhou went on campaigns.
“Then I’ll go with you,” Su Ruojin said.
Madam Su waved her hand, "Nian'er is still young and can't be separated from her mother. I can go by myself."
Su Muyao also wanted to accompany Madam Su, but was refused.
Su Muyao has just married into the Marquis of Anguo's household, so it wouldn't be good to accompany her to Wanfu Temple.
The Wanfu Temple wasn't far away, so Su Ruojin didn't insist any further.
On the way back to the manor, Su Ruojin asked Su Muyao, "Muyao, how is the ship construction going?"
Su Muyao said, "It's still under improvement. We've added gun positions, and many details need to be adjusted. It will probably take some more time."
"Yes, no rush, but we must do it well." Su Ruojin knew that this matter could not be rushed. In any case, Nian'er was still young, and the battle with Bei Li was still going to last for who knows how long.
Let's build it slowly.
