C12 (1/1)

Outside.

Several lines of iron cavalry approached from afar. Their red-brown horses' hooves were flying, and their agile bodies were accompanied by a cloud of dust. Three hundred meters away was the first crossing of the Great Qi Empire at the border. The atmosphere of the city gate tower was majestic, and it was a sight to behold. The soldiers guarding the city gate could tell from afar that the Steel Cavalry was the one who had sent the military newspaper.

Although the group of soldiers wearing the cavalry uniform appeared to be slightly tired after a few days and nights, it was difficult to erase the spirit that was seeping out from their bones.

The flag was raised high on the horse's back, and was retracted after a circle of resistance. The city guards replied with the same military flag. At the same time, the gate of the city gate was opened.

The war that was instigated by the Northern barbarians had been going on for more than three months. The Great General had personally led his troops to the battlefield. The Steel Cavalry roared through the open gates, bringing with them a cloud of flying sand.

A tall figure jumped down from the horse, his steady steps carrying a cold aura. The leader of the group was the first to enter the resting post. There were very few people living at the border. Most of them were soldiers that had been married to the locals before. The relay station was newly built. In order to display the presence and wealth of the The Great Qi Nation, the Emperor had built a relay station at a small border crossing with a bit of the capital's extravagance.

Si Yuan had never liked doing things like this. He had followed his father to train in martial arts since a young age, and the ways of soldiers were ingrained in his heart. Those who have not fought with their lives will be addicted to the appearance of such vanity and needless extravagance.

He walked straight into the relay station without looking at her. An official of the relay station came out to welcome him with fear and trepidation while he was at the second door. The young official bent down so low that his head was almost buried in his stomach. He folded his hands in front of his forehead and said, ”I didn't know that the great general would arrive. This official greets you, disrespectful, and disrespectful!”

”Prepare a simple meal, no need to prepare any residences,” Si Yuan's voice was extremely calm. He wanted to find out whether or not the people he liked were able to get any useful information from it.

The official nodded in agreement, and watched Si Yuan enter the hall before quickly retreating.

Si Yuan sat in the main hall at its upright position. With his eyes closed, he held one hand loosely in his lap and the other hand stretched out on the armrest of the chair. Occasionally, he raised his hand a little, and then gently lowered it onto the armrest.

The Northern Barbaric Army had almost been destroyed, and Si Yuan no longer needed to lead the rest of the forces. As a result, he had personally brought this last report to the capital.

Thinking about those people in the capital, the corners of Si Yuan's mouth hooked into an extremely mocking sneer. He could sense that the Emperor's fear of him was growing. This time, when he returned to the capital, he would receive plenty in public, but he would never be able to control the amount of change that would occur in the shadows of the human heart.

A light clicking sound suddenly came from the tiled floor of the hall. Si Yuan's fingertips trembled, and his eyes slowly opened. A man in a dark tight suit came in through the door with a speed so fast it was almost impossible to see his figure.

The man knelt down on one knee three meters away from Si Yuan and saluted. Then, he lowered his head and cupped his hands.

”Is the manor the same as before this month?”

The Old Ancestor caught a cold a few days ago, but when this subordinate left, he had already recovered. The Second Young Master was still reading and writing poems, and as usual, the Third Young Master had someone buy a new batch of girls for him to teach at Spring Orchid Garden. Besides that, there is nothing worth noting in the capital.
