Chapter 814: Maximum Favorability Points
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Emperor Minghua issued a decree to confer General Zuo as the commander-in-chief and Qin Huai as General Ping An. He led 100,000 troops to calm the chaos at the border.
Village Lord Yu was conferred the title of Military Governor. However, she only had an empty title and didn’t have any real power.
In name, she could supervise General Ping An, but if General Ping An was unwilling to listen, she had no right to punish him.
Yes, everyone in the know knew that even if Village Lord Yu didn’t have any title, General Ping An would still be willing to listen to her.
As for Commander Zuo.
A few old officials stepped into General Zuo’s Mansion in private and congratulated him with a smile. “General Zuo, you used to despise us civil servants for being promoted and getting rich with our mouths. How do you feel now?”
General Zuo stroked his beard and snorted. “I’m different from you. This is a real battle!”
“Oh, you really have the cheek to say that you’re going to fight a battle with a few children?”
General Zuo’s face turned red.
That’s right. It was probably fine to deal with a few wandering soldiers who had already been weakened by the Emperor a few times. But it was probably not even enough to deal with 50,000 rebels. If they still had to send 100,000 troops to suppress the enemy, wouldn’t they be obvious guards?
The Emperor had sent all his elites!
A minister winked. “I heard that your daughter has a good relationship with Village Lord Yu. Village Lord Yu was once evaluated as the Flower Fairy of Hundred Flowers County. You must know a lot about Village Lord Yu, right?”
General Zuo waved his hand and said righteously, “Village Lord Yu is only a little girl. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you old fellows to talk about her all day. In my opinion, you civil servants usually pretend to be all high and mighty, but why are you so talkative in private?”
The faces of the ministers turned green.
How could they not know that Village Lord Yu was still a few years away from her coming of age?
But could she be the same as an ordinary little girl?
Not to mention her, even her fiance was not even 15 years old yet!
However, those two people had clearly revealed their outstanding abilities long ago. Who would treat them as ordinary children?
Speaking of which, even if the two of them were only children in love, they still had the friendship of childhood sweethearts.
This time, the Emperor wanted to firmly suppress the Third Prince’s faction. Even if Qin Huai had the possibility of recovering his identity in the future, Village Lord Yu’s net worth wouldn’t be much lower.
These old fellows had long understood that whether a wife was happy or not depended on whether her husband’s family valued her or not and whether they were willing to protect her.
After all, he was the person who had caused a commotion in Wanning City alone back then. No one would suspect Qin Huai’s protection of Ah Yu.
Qin Huai was currently on both sides of the fence in Wanning City. On the one hand, the noble ministers were indignant at him and thought that he was arbitrary in handling matters. But since he only had matters of love in his head, he was not considered a proper man.
On the other hand, the women praised him and felt that if their husbands could be half as good as Qin Huai, they would not be considered to have entrusted themselves to the wrong person. They would wake up laughing in their dreams!
In the end, General Zuo still pushed the group of people out of the door and let them go wherever they should.
It’s not that he didn’t know that these people were pretending to come here to mock him on the surface. They were actually here to gather information.
His daughter and son-in-law both had some friendship with Ah Yu. They knew a little about her and they wanted to get this information from him.
For example, whether Qin Huai was the rumored son of the Empress or not. Was it possible for him to become a Prince, or even—the Crown Prince?
Although General Zuo was rash, he was not that reckless.
“I don’t know!” With this sentence, everyone was chased out of the residence.
Then, he happily went to write the purchase list. This business trip was considered leisurely, so he would definitely have time to buy some good things for his wife and daughter.
They would set off within a month after the imperial decree was issued. Compared to the others who were either watching or envious, the Wang Family was gloomy and filled with sobbing.
The man sitting at the second gate hugging his knees and crying was especially eye-catching.
Ah Yu really couldn’t stand it anymore. She walked over and called out, “Father, don’t cry!”
Wang Chuanman raised his swollen goldfish eyes. When he saw that it was All Yu, he wiped his tears in a panic.
“All Yu, let Father go with you. Father is really worried.”
Wang Chuanman was not a person who likes to show his emotions, but in the past year or so, Ah Yu had gone to Jiangsai City. He had been worried sick.
In the past, when Ah Yu went out to study with the children at home, he didn’t think much of it. Now that All Yu was successful and had become an official, he would think about everything..
