“Still delaying?” Su Wei was somewhat surprised. “The Ninth Prince asked the Old General to come back a few months ago. During the half-month journey back to the court, the prince’s secret guards sent daily reports, urging you to return early. Are you…”
Not wanting to accept Chu Yihan’s kindness?
Su Wei, with many years of military experience, had heard of Chu Yihan but had never seen him care about any general in the court as much as Su Qingzhi. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to reject Chu Yihan’s kindness?
However, Su Qingzhi just coldly snorted, “Offering unnecessary courtesy is either deceitful or thieving!”
“But he’s the Ninth Prince. What harmful intentions could the Ninth Prince have?” Su Wei couldn’t comprehend.
Su Qingzhi touched his sword, his eyes sharp and said, “1 know him better than you. This man is heartless. In the past six months, he has made significant moves and sent secret guards daily to report his schedule. He must be hiding something!”
He didn’t mind making the Ninth Prince anxious.
In Jiang Du City, Chu Yihan received a secret report that Su Qingzhi was already outside the city but had not entered immediately.
Chu Yihan frowned and said, “Mo Qi, prepare the horse. I will personally go outside the city to welcome the Old General!”
“Your Highness, it’s already past midnight. If we go at this time, the Old General will be resting, right?” Mo Qi felt that his cold and restrained Master couldn’t hold it any longer.
“They’re already outside the city, but why don’t they enter? Didn’t the Old General want to reunite with his family as soon as possible? Didn’t the secret guards inform the Old General that Su Dingwei and Qin Wan were also in the Marquis’s Manor?” Chu Yihan was puzzled.
Mo Qi quickly defended the secret guards, “I’ve said it. How could they dare to neglect the Master’s orders? I think the Old General must be tired after such a long journey. Seeing that they are already at the door, he’s not in a hurry, so he wants to take a rest before coming in, right?”
Chu Yihan thought it made sense.
He put down the news brought by the secret guard. “I’ve lost my sense of propriety.”
If he went out of the city now, he would inevitably startle Su Qingzhi and might leave a bad impression on him.
This would not do!
He wanted to maintain his image in Su Qingzhi’s heart as the perfect God of War of the Great Cheng Dynasty.
In the Marquis’s Manor, Su Yingxue was also preparing late at night to welcome Su Qingzhi.
Zhilan looked at Su Yingxue, who was so busy that she was unwilling to rest. She teased, “Miss is always calm and steady in everything you do. Now that Master is coming back, you’re as anxious as a child.”
Su Yingxue was still holding an ornament in her hand. “You haven’t seen Grandfather for such a long time. Don’t you miss him?”
Su Yingxue thought desperately. After all, in the eyes of others, her grandfather had only been on the battlefield for a few years, but to her, she and her grandfather had already been separated for a lifetime!
In her entire life, she had never seen her grandfather properly, leaned into his arms, and acted coquettishly.
Zhilan covered her mouth and laughed. “Yes, 1 miss Master too. But I wonder, between Miss and the Ninth Prince, who longs for Master more?”
“Hiss, your words are getting worse and worse!”
Su Yingxue chased after Zhilan angrily.
Zhilan was grabbed by Su Yingxue. Su Yingxue tickled her until she begged for mercy. “It’s my fault, it’s my fault. Miss, you miss Master the most!”
“Look at you, still talking nonsense!” Su Yingxue was playing happily with her.
Saint Ruan came over with a dark face.. “Su Yingxue, are all your patients this reckless? Su Han had just finished the surgery and she was already out of bed? Forget about getting off the bed, she even ran away? Does she want to go to the heavens?”
