Chapter 252 - 250. Di Shang Returned (1/2)

Third-person POV

A couple of weeks later, Di Shang arrived at Chang An in incognito with Ah Ren as his companion. Meanwhile, Ah Gu who had more experience and more leadership than Ah Ren was leading the soldiers that were still on the way back to Chang An and would arrive later than Di Shang as they marched in large-sized groups.

While strolling down the main road of Chang An, Di Shang observed his surroundings and didn't find anything abnormal. If the surge of powerful aura that happened a month ago truly brought a catastrophe to Chang An then things wouldn't be this peaceful.

The atmosphere in Chang An was, as usual, nothing drastic change except the crowd became less vibrant. People in Chang An started to decrease the layer of clothes they wore as spring was coming up as well the buds on the trees were going to bloom into beautiful flowers that would decorate the city.

His heart was beating quicker than it should be, he couldn't contain the corner of his lips from curving up into a big smile. The thought of Meiyun jumping onto him with a wide grin on her cherry lips when she saw his surprise appearance made him more excited to reach his home.

In his hand, there was a gorgeously carved wooden box filled with sweets that he bought solely for Meiyun as a gift. For his family, he purchased Xi An's authentic liquor which was on a sweeter side than the liquor in Dong Fang.

'I am supposed to give the report to His Majesty Emperor as soon as I arrived at Chang An. But I want to see Meiyun as soon as possible.' Di Shang stared at the wooden box and frowned.

”Aiya? What's wrong General Di?” Ah Ren popped out from the side and asked Di Shang.

Di Shang glanced at Ah Ren and felt a familiar aura coming out from Ah Ren. He stared at Ah Ren without replying to Ah Ren's question while racking his brain to find the reason why he literally saw an image of Meiyun in Ah Ren. Ah Ren waited for Di Shang's answer and thought that Di Shang didn't hear him.

”Hello~ General Di? Is there a problem?” Ah Ren waved his hand in front of Di Shang's eyes to get his attention.

”Why are you so similar to…” Di Shang narrowed his eyes to scrutinize Ah Ren.

Ah Ren tilted his head in confusion but then the only person that was close both to him and Di Shang which also had the same personality and behavior as him was Meiyun.

”Ah! Is General Di talking about Senior Meiyun?” Ah Ren asked excitedly.

”En, eh? Senior?” Di Shang whipped his head to look at Ah Ren in disbelief.

”Yup! I trained under Senior Meiyun and she is the one who made me this noisy and annoying! It is not my fault, kay?” Ah Ren pouted and folded his arms in front of his chest.

”En, I can see that.” Di Shang said in defeat.

Since Meiyun and Ah Ren had the same way of thinking, Di Shang knew how to handle the two with ease.

”So? What's with the gloomy face?” Ah Ren questioned while tossed a piece of candy into his mouth.

”I want to go home.” Di Shang said with a dejected expression,

”Ahh~ So you wanna see Senior Meiyun? Want me to help you pass this report to His Majesty Emperor? Since I have to go back to Her Majesty Empress so it is not a problem for me.” Ah Ren's face brightened as he suggested.

Di Shang looked at Ah Ren and took out the secured scroll from his chest pocket, ”Then I have relied on you. Thank you, I will treat you to a meal.”
