Everyone in the house immediately stood up to greet him.

“Husband!” Seeing her husband unharmed in front of her, Mrs. Yun was extremely excited, her face full of joy.

“Father!” Wei Yichen, Wei Qingwan, and the others all surrounded Wei Mingting, scrutinizing him closely.

“Great victory! We’ve driven those Japanese at sea to a dissolute flight! Now there is not a single ship of theirs visible at sea!” Wei Mingting said gleefully. He was usually busy with public affairs, and when preparations for this large-scale battle began, he no longer returned home, putting his whole heart and soul into preparing for it day and night, sharing the same fortunes with his soldiers.

Now that the war had been won, he returned home without delay to share this good news with his family, and assure them he was safe.

“A great victory? Really?” Mrs. Yun was thrilled.

Everyone in the room showed an expression of immense joy, Wei Ruo was no exception.

At this moment, the dark clouds that had been shrouding the Military Prefecture for days were finally dispersed, clearing the way for moonlight to shine through!

Then, everyone joined Wei Mingting as he took his place at the table.

The maids quickly brought out tea and snacks.

After having a few short words with his children, Wei Mingting allowed them to leave for the day since it was already late, and he had just finished a grueling battle that lasted several days and needed to rest.

Everyone gradually left.

The next morning, Wei Yichen, Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan, and Wei Yilin arrived early and waited in Cangyun Garden.

Normally, breakfast in their home was eaten separately, but today was different, everyone wanted to know more about the battle.

After a while, Cuiping invited everyone to come inside.

Once inside, they saw that Wei Mingting had already gotten up. He was dressed casually and looked refreshed.

Wei Mingting asked everyone to sit down and have breakfast together. On the large round table in front of them, there was white porridge, fried dough sticks, pickles, and soup dumplings, all of which were common breakfast for the people in Taizhou prefecture.

After breakfast, the servants! cleared the leftovers from the table.

Everyone sat to the side, and Wei Mingting, knowing that the children had come early out of concern for him and also wanting to know what had transpired over the past few days, began to speak.

“We have to thank two people for this great victory.” Wei Mingting, who was usually quiet, spoke more today.

“Who are you referring to, my husband?” Mrs. Yun asked hurriedly.

Everyone too was watching him with curiosity.

“One is a young man, the reinforcements sent by the court are closely related to him. It was he who arranged this ambush, which circled around Wangyue Mountain and struck directly at the belly of the Japanese Pirates Army, disrupting their formation.”

Everyone knew about this, so they were not surprised.

“And the second?” asked Mrs. Yun.

“The second is something none of us expected. Some days ago, the city was drafting soldiers, and a new recruit brought us an amazing weapon This weapon is a crossbow, but not an ordinary one, it can hold ten arrows at once and can be quickly reloaded once fired, making it highly efficient. Using this greatly increased our firepower,”

“Before the battle began, we summoned all the craftsmen in the city to work day and night to produce a large number of these crossbows in time for the fight.”

-This is a great fortune for my husband and the people of Xingshan County! Is that new recruit some sort of master craftsman? He was able to create such a powerful weapon,” Mrs. Yun asked curiously.
