Chapter 359: Zhao Lingmeng and the others watched the army return to the capital
Zhao Houyang couldn't help but glance at the two older brothers across from him. Seeing how absorbed they were in the scene, he pursed his lips in envy, muttering to himself, "I only regret not being a gifted person." Then he turned his gaze out the window.
If other people knew what Zhao Houyang was thinking, they would sneer at him. He was obviously a gifted person, so why was he pretending?
Zhao Lingmeng and Zhao Houyang looked down at the streets, which were packed with people. The soldiers who were trying to maintain order were struggling. From time to time, they could hear soldiers shouting, "Back off, back off!"
At the outermost edge of the street, there are some vendors doing small business. Just looking at this scene makes people feel happy.
Zhao Houyang was very excited when he saw this scene. He said loudly, "Mom, I have never seen such a bustling street in Yuanjing. My second uncle is so amazing!"
At this time, Zhao Houyang had an immense admiration for his uncle.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at his youngest son, who stretched his head and stared intently at the scene below. He could only rub his ears helplessly, "Zhao Houyang, keep your voice down."
When Zhao Houyang heard his mother's protest, he turned around with a silly smile and looked at Zhao Lingmeng a little embarrassedly.
"Hey, Mom, I'm really excited!"
Zhao Lingmeng felt that she really didn't understand the psychology of these children. She believed in asking if she didn't understand. "No one has arrived yet, why are you so excited?"
"I saw hope for the future on these people's faces. I felt like there was light in their eyes, so I was happy!"
Zhao Houyang spoke truthfully about his feelings. He didn't know why he hadn't felt this way in his previous life. He thought randomly in his heart, maybe it was because he also had light in his heart in this life!
"Perhaps it's because Jingguo won so beautifully this time that its people feel safe and no longer have to worry about any neighboring country invading Jingguo. What they want is actually very simple."
When Zhao Lingmeng talked about this, she also thought of the country where she lived in her previous life. That was a country with real peace and prosperity.
At this time, the people of Yuanjing and the imperial court were still unaware that although Wenyuan Hou and Zhao Anwei had conquered two cities of Longling State, they had also massacred the people in the two cities, digging deep into the city walls and almost transporting all the stones used to build the city walls back home.
So it was said that Wenyuan Hou had a soft spot for Zhao Anwei. If it were any other deputy general, they would have fought tooth and nail to keep him. Unlike Zhao Anwei, he wouldn't even discuss with him what to bring back.
I guess when the army returns, everyone in Yuanjing will know about it. Then the court will probably quarrel over it again, but it is none of Zhao Lingmeng's business.
At this moment they were looking forward to Zhao Anwei's majestic return.
Zhao Lingmeng did not disturb her two older sons who were reading. She and her younger son were reading with great interest, occasionally chatting about this and that, which was also very interesting.
"Brother, second brother, come quickly, come quickly, uncle is coming." As soon as Zhao Houyang heard the cheers coming from afar, he immediately called out to his two younger brothers.
Zhao Lingmeng immediately looked out the window upon hearing the voice. Although she had seen her second brother in armor before, she had never seen him in such a setting. She was quite looking forward to it, and this was her first time to witness the victorious return of the army.
Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming also closed their books immediately, and like two monkeys, they jumped to the window and looked down with great interest.
Wen Yuanhou and Zhao Anwei didn't make them wait long. They rode their horses to the downstairs of the restaurant where Zhao Lingmeng and the others were.
The people on both sides of the street were also very enthusiastic. From time to time, some people shouted Wen Yuanhou and others' names, and some threw handkerchiefs and flowers.
Zhao Houjing and his two brothers also shouted at the top of their lungs, "Uncle, Uncle!" and waved their hands frantically below.
Zhao Lingmeng, on the other hand, was just holding the teacup, looking at the team below with a smile. He saw that the one riding in the front was Marquis Wenyuan, followed by Zhao Anwei and other meritorious people, then some personal guards, and then some important captives.
The entire team was neat and long. Although everyone in the team was smiling, there was still a sharp and bloody aura. Especially Zhao Anwei, Zhao Lingmeng felt that his second brother's smile was extremely stiff.
Zhao Anwei, riding down below, truly found this process a bit difficult. He was practically grinning until his face froze. Furthermore, handkerchiefs and flowers kept flying towards them, and they had to carefully avoid them. They were already at the doorstep, and if they saw blood, it would be a disgrace.
The armor they wore, in particular, actually reflected the sun, making them look even more sacred. After the procession had passed, Zhao Lingmeng could still hear someone shouting, "Long live the emperor!"
Zhao Houjing had endured quite a bit of hardship during his year of study abroad, so his observation skills had improved rapidly. He looked at the group that had already left and asked curiously, "Mom, the armor on my uncle and the others seems different than before?"
When Zhao Houming and Zhao Houyang heard what their elder brother said, they looked carefully into the distance, as if they could reflect light. Zhao Houyang immediately agreed with his elder brother, "Yes, it seems different."
Zhao Lingmeng patted Zhao Houyang on the shoulder, very dissatisfied with his reaction. He, who worked in this line of work, didn't even notice it.
Zhao Houyang also knew what his mother meant, so he could only touch his nose embarrassedly. This time, he was really in the dark.
Zhao Lingmeng patted Zhao Houyang on the shoulder and ignored him. Instead, he patiently introduced the three brothers:
"This is the latest Ming Guang armor from Jingguo. It's light, flexible, and good-looking. The downside is that it's not very concealable. But Jingguo has a lot of armor now, so there's plenty to choose from. It all depends on the commander's preference."
"The country has become stronger!" This was the only thought Zhao Houming had after hearing this.
Zhao Houjing also nodded in agreement, he also thought so.
Zhao Houyang, on the other hand, didn't know what he was thinking and didn't say anything.
"So, there will be a group of people who fight for the country, and there will be a group of people who defend the country. The future belongs to you young people." Zhao Lingmeng said this in a low voice, and also encouraged the three children to study hard and become practical people in the future.
Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming both nodded thoughtfully, thinking to themselves that they had to hurry up and take the imperial examinations. Only by passing them sooner would they be able to experience these things sooner.
After Zhao Lingmeng and the others finished their tour, they didn't return home immediately. Instead, they ordered a large meal at the restaurant. They then browsed the small stalls downstairs, enjoying themselves to the fullest. Only then did they return home.
