Zhou Susu knew that Shen Qingqian knew both Zhao Yichen and Zhao Yifeng, but she didn't know the relationship between Shen Qingqian and Zhao Yichen, so she didn't understand why she also ran to the city gate.

"Qing Qian, why are you here too?"

Shen Qingqian had no intention of hiding the relationship between Zhou Susu and Zhao Yichen, so she said openly, "Sister Susu, I'm here to welcome the Fifth Prince."

"what?"

Zhou Susu was surprised for a moment, then quickly understood something.

"Qing Qian, you and the fifth prince...you guys..."

"Here they come, the army is back!"

Yang Zhi shouted, interrupting Zhou Susu's question. Zhou Susu quickly looked in the direction where the army appeared, and didn't care to talk about this matter anymore.

The most important thing now is to bring Yang Sheng home. As for the matters of Shen Qingqian and Zhao Yichen, we will talk about it in detail later when we find an opportunity.

Shen Qingqian let out a breath and looked up, only to see a dark mass in the distance, with thousands of troops coming in a cloud of dust.

The army was marching very quickly, probably because the soldiers were eager to return home!

Soon, Shen Qingqian saw the tall and majestic figure riding in the front. It was Zhao Yichen. He was dressed in armor and looked very heroic. At this moment, the sun was shining on him, making him shine brightly.

Zhao Yichen also saw Shen Qingqian, and his originally serious expression softened instantly. He flicked the whip, and the horse started to run faster.

Shen Qingqian looked at the man who was running towards her, and the smile on her face became brighter. Zhao Yichen was also looking at her, his eyes were gentle and affectionate.

Yang Zhi and Zhou Susu kept staring at the black carriage behind Zhao Yichen. They knew that the body inside should be Yang Sheng's.

The two of them were feeling mixed emotions at the moment. When Yang Sheng left, he was still a lively person, but when he came back, he turned into a cold corpse! Although they already knew the result, it was still difficult to accept it at the moment, and it was difficult to hide their sadness.

Zhao Yichen got off the horse, and Yang Zhi quickly stepped forward, bowed to Zhao Yichen, and said, "Thank you, Fifth Prince, for bringing my second brother back from afar."

Zhao Yichen then withdrew his gaze from Shen Qingqian and looked at Yang Zhi and said, "General Yang, you don't have to be polite. General Yang sacrificed his life for the country and is a hero of our Great Yue Kingdom. This is what I should do.

It is also because the conditions allow it. If it were summer, I am afraid that Your Highness would be powerless."

What this means is that the body was able to be brought back because it was winter. If it were summer, the body would have already stink, and there would be no way to bring it back even if we wanted to.

As he was talking, two carriages drove over. Zhao Yichen pointed to the black carriage and said, "General Yang, my brother is in this carriage. Take him back and bury him properly!"

"Yes!"

Yang Zhi's sadness was written all over his face. Without saying anything more, he walked towards the carriage step by step, then stood in front of the carriage. After a pause, he raised his hand with difficulty, lifted the curtain, and looked at the person inside.

After a moment, he turned around with a dull expression, returned to Zhou Susu's side, and said, "Let's go!"

"it is good!"

Zhou Susu could understand her husband's feelings. She also felt bad, so she didn't say much.

Without Yang Zhi's instructions, his followers went to drive the black carriage.

But at this moment, a woman came down from another carriage. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a green dress and a white cloak.

The woman has a pretty face and a slender figure, giving people a feeling of pity.

After the woman got off the carriage, she was supported by a maid and walked towards Yang Zhi and Zhou Susu. When she reached the two of them, she knelt down.

Yang Zhi and Zhou Susu were both confused. They didn't know who this woman was, and why she had to kneel down to them!

The woman kowtowed to them and then said, "You two are General Yang's brother and sister-in-law, right? I am Mu Xinyue, the daughter of General Mu from Guangjun City. I know that my father is also responsible for General Yang's death. However, my father also died in that battle, so I came to the capital with the army to say sorry to the elders of the Yang family."

The woman's voice was hesitant and distressing.

But everyone present knew that what she said was true, and Yang Sheng’s death was indeed related to General Mu.

But Yang Zhi also knew that mistakes in judgment were inevitable on the battlefield, and he couldn't say anything. Moreover, General Mu was dead, so he certainly wouldn't vent his anger on a little girl, so he said, "Your father is your father, and you are you. Our Yang family doesn't need an apology from a little girl like you, so get up!"

Mu Xinyue did not stand up, and said with tears in her eyes: "General Yang, I have come all the way here just to apologize to you on behalf of my father. I hope that the general and his wife can forgive my father, otherwise he will die with regrets."

Yang Zhi frowned. He had already said that she didn't need to apologize, so why was this girl still obsessed with this matter?

Die with eyes wide open! Then can the soldiers who died in that battle rest in peace? Why should this little girl ask him to forgive her? Isn't this asking someone to do something against his will?

Moreover, he had just witnessed the corpse of his brother with his own eyes. How could he let go of the grudge in his heart at this moment?

Zhou Susu had the same idea. She stepped forward and said, "Miss Mu, right? My master said that we don't need your apology, and you don't need to kneel down to us. You'd better get up quickly!"

Mu Xinyue still insisted: "General Yang and Madam are unwilling to forgive my father? Then please tell me, General and Madam, what should Xinyue do to get your forgiveness?

General Yang, Madam, Xinyue is here to sincerely apologize on behalf of my father. Even if I have to kneel here for a long time, Xinyue can do it, as long as you two can forgive my father. "

Mu Qingyue's words were full of emotion and she looked so pitiful that the men in the team were moved with sympathy.

Shen Qingqian really couldn't stand it anymore. Isn't this moral kidnapping? Why should others forgive you just because you apologize?

"Miss Mu, you keep saying you're here to apologize to the Yang family, but why do I feel like you're here just to cause trouble for the Yang family? Yang Sheng is still lying in that carriage, his body is still warm, and Madam Yang is still waiting at home, but you're blocking General Yang and his wife to ask for forgiveness. What's your intention?

Also, whether to apologize or not is your attitude, and whether to forgive or not is someone else's right, so why do you have to force them? And you even said you want to kneel down forever, are you sure you're not deliberately discrediting the Yang family by doing this?"

"Qingqian, Xinyue is not that kind of person. She may have said those inappropriate words because she was in a hurry and didn't think too much.

Xinyue, please stand up first. It is not appropriate for you to kneel in front of General Yang like this. General Yang and Madam Yang are both upright people. They make their own decisions and will not vent their anger on you. "

When Shen Qingqian heard the familiar male voice, she turned around abruptly and found that it was Zhao Yichen who was speaking!
