”Daddy, I was wrong ~” A delicate and soft child pounced on him. Liu Yuan's anger receded quite a bit, and the other child, seeing this, also stood up and pounced over.
Looking at the two pitifully crying children, Liu Yuan felt terrible as well.
Since the death of his mother, he had been busy with official business and rarely accompanied his children.
A child so insensible, as a father also has a responsibility.
It looked like it was time to reconnect. When he was busy on his own, there was always his mother watching over him.
As Liu Yuan thought of this, he unconsciously looked in Su Zhi's direction.
If he were to take a wife, he would rather marry someone as virtuous, capable, gentle, reasonable, pleasant to listen to, and good-looking like Su Zhi.
He lowered his head and smiled at the two children, but his eyes were elsewhere.
Su Zhi had wanted to go back and accompany her child, but Liu Shiqian insisted on staying, so she decided to stay.
On the same day, Ye City, a thousand miles away.
The rapidly advancing elite troops were imposing, and the general in the lead was wearing a silver armor, carrying a long sword at his waist; he was unstoppable.
”General, Ye City has arrived!” Tan Chao rode up to report
Xiao Qian nodded slightly. ”Stay alert. The rebel army should be waiting in ambush nearby.”
”Yes, sir.”
Along the border of Ying City, there were dense forests, which made it easy for them to ambush the enemy.
Xiao Qian looked at the main road in front of him and felt that something was amiss.
The place where the army had arrived was extremely quiet.
There were no spies nor rebel soldiers. The rebels who had been so furious a few days ago had actually disappeared.
”General, what's wrong?” Tan Zhao walked up and asked.
”It's nothing. My eyelids are jumping.”
”Left or right?”
”To the right.”
Tan Zhao laughed, ”You're finished, your wife is going to be taken away!”
”Scram!” Xiao Qian snorted coldly as he lifted his foot to greet the man with the broken mouth.
”Don't, don't, don't. Don't look at the tense situation, let's liven up the atmosphere.”
Ever since they had left the capital, the entire journey had been rather strange.
It was rumored that half of the mutineers could not see the Ye City. Ye City was the first place to be occupied, but there was not a single person guarding it.
”What about the pay?”
”General, all the pay that was stolen has been gathered and sent over.”
Xiao Qian snorted, ”It's only been a few days and he already collected several tens of millions of silver taels. The Zhao Family is truly wealthy.”
Tan Zhao wiped off his cold sweat. The thing he was most worried about right now was whether the Zhao Family had done anything in secret. That day in the imperial court, he had slapped the face of his uncle, offending the entire Zhao Family.
If Empress Zhao had blown a little wind by the pillow, who knows what the situation would have turned out like.
”General, don't you think that something is amiss? With Zhao Dagang's personality, how could he obediently return the money? ”
”Yeah, it doesn't seem like the style of Zhao Du.”
”Then someone else was involved in this matter?”
Xiao Qian raised his eyebrows. ”The entire Zhao Family will be caught off guard. The one who does the opposite will be the third young master.” I wonder what kind of surprise Zhao Zheng has prepared for us this time. ”
No matter what, if the Zhao Clan dared to pay, he would take it.
It should have belonged to those brothers who risked their lives to begin with. As for who he would offend, he didn't care too much.
”Send a few spies to investigate.”
