My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

Zong Yanli originally said that he would bring them all back.

Now they are back, but Zong Yanli is not back.

At this moment, their expectations for Zong Yanli reached its peak. Even Meng Qi secretly thought that as long as Zong Yanli could come back safely this time, he would not be reluctant to recognize him as the leader.

"Captain, you need to get well soon." Huo Wenqi leaned aside and said, "Lu Hao and his men successfully escorted Princess Gao back and made great contributions to General Chen, but they didn't even mention that it was the captain who stopped them from leaving."

"My brothers fought so hard for their lives, and yet they are allowed to eat such a big piece of meat all by themselves?" Huo Wenqi couldn't swallow this.

"It's just some petty gains." Zong Yanli smiled and said, "The army has always rewarded people according to their merits. General Chen didn't reward me earlier because I didn't come back."

Zong Yanli looked at Huo Wenqi in a soothing manner, telling them to be patient and not to get impatient. He then said, "Someone from the imperial city will come to take Princess Gao back to the capital soon, and she will definitely be rewarded by then."

Huo Wenqi didn't expect Zong Yanli to know so much, and became more suspicious.

Originally wanted to say a few more words, but Wen Nian came in and chased him away, saying that Zong Yanli was seriously injured and needed to rest.

During the period when Zong Yanli was recuperating, Lu Hao wanted to visit him several times, but was driven away by Monk and his companions. It was obvious that they looked down on Lu Hao and his companions for escaping on their own and not returning for help and taking credit for themselves. Naturally, they would not listen to what Lu Hao had to say.

Zong Yanli lay there for more than ten days, and her bones almost melted.

Today, I heard that someone from the imperial city was coming, Princess Gao was about to set out for the capital, and she made a request to see Zong Yanli again.

After many days of rest, Zong Yanli had almost recovered. When he received the summons from the princess, he immediately got ready to meet her.

This time the meeting was held in General Chen's main tent. As usual, there was a screen in front of it. Outside the tent, there were more guards wearing golden armor. They were the emperor's personal soldiers. Inside stood an attendant dressed in eunuch's clothes, as well as many maids.

The Emperor of Wu was very satisfied with this marriage. Princess Gao was famous for her beauty, and the current emperor was sixty-two years old, so he was naturally happy to have such a beauty.

"I am Zong Yanli, your humble servant, and I am here to pay my respects to the princess." Zong Yanli stopped in front of the barrier, knelt down and bowed.

"Young general, please stand up." Princess Gao clenched her sleeves behind the tent and looked at Zong Yanli through the screen in front of her. Her heart choked up as she looked at the vague figure of the man. In a trance, she recalled the danger in Dunkou City.

"I heard that the young general was seriously injured and had to recuperate for many days. I didn't want to disturb him, but he has to leave for the capital tomorrow." The Princess of Gaoguo, who was sitting behind the screen, said, "I am in deep danger this time. Thank you for your life-saving grace. Jiayue would like to thank you for saving my life."

"I don't deserve such a great gift from the princess." Zong Yanli stood with his head bowed: "It's all my duty."

Gao Jiayue looked at the screen blocking her view with tears in her eyes. She knew that she was just jumping from one wolf's den to another.

Even her closest maid died because of her, and now she has nothing.

Gao Jiayue took a deep breath and said, "Young General, you are so brave and will definitely achieve great things in the future. I wish you peace and success. I will be waiting for you in the Imperial City."

Zong Yanli bowed in thanks and then left the tent.

A woman who could survive in such a chaotic situation as the Gao Kingdom's royal family was naturally not a pure and kind person.

In Zong Yanli's memory, Princess Gao was doted on by the old emperor after she entered the palace.

Gao Jiayue was very resourceful and established her own power in a very fast manner. Zong Yanli was unaware of the hardships she went through. He only knew that Gao Jiayue climbed all the way to the position of Imperial Noble Consort. When she was only one step away from becoming the Queen, the old emperor passed away.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he rewarded Gao for being buried in the imperial mausoleum.

That means buried alive.

At that time, Zong Yanli had already reached a high position. When she returned to the capital, it was the new emperor who greeted her. She would never see this Princess Gao again.

"Zong Yanli, you have made great contributions this time. This general must reward you." Chen Zhengxin patted Zong Yanli on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect Gao Guo to be so bold. It's really hateful to surround and kill the whole city!"

"Fortunately, the princess is safe and sound. When I escort the princess back to the capital, I will speak well of you in front of the emperor." Chen Zhengxin laughed and stared at Zong Yanli with more and more satisfaction. Thinking of the current situation of the Chen family, he could not help but sigh.

"After I leave, the Pingnan Camp will be handed over to your father. Follow your father and make contributions."

"If this trip back to Beijing goes smoothly and the Chen family escapes the disaster, maybe our two families can become even closer!

Zong Yanli: “…”

She understood that General Chen wanted to find a match for him.

Zong Yanli was quite ashamed and angry, and immediately said, "How can a man start a family if he hasn't made any achievements yet?"

Chen Zhengxin laughed loudly: "Okay, okay! Then this general will wait for you to make achievements!"

"The captain of the Xuanying team neglected his duties and got into a fight with others and injured someone, so he was demoted to the position of team leader. You will take over the position of team commander. Go ahead!" Chen Zhengxin promoted Zong Yanli with a smile. She was promoted to team commander not long after she became the team leader.

The right camp is divided into four camps: Tiandi, Xuanhuang, and the commander of each camp is a colonel, who commands five squadrons and is the team leader.

Under the team leader is the foreman. There are ten foreman in a team, and under the foreman are five accomplices, for a total of fifty people.

In other words, a team leader leads ten team leaders, and the ten team leaders and their accomplices total sixty people.

However, the numbers would not be completely consistent. When wars broke out, the number of accomplices in each camp was only a few, and there were also many wounded and disabled soldiers.

On the day when General Chen left Pingnan Camp, all the soldiers were waiting for orders in the parade ground. Zong Yanhongjing took over Chen Zhengxin's position and became the commander-in-chief of Pingnan Camp. From then on, the situation in Pingnan Camp changed drastically, and the generals who originally supported Zong Yanli's faction were all proud.

At the same time, Zong Yanli took office as the head of the Xuanzi Camp, and all his colleagues were appointed as team leaders.

Zong Yanli finally had a small tent of his own.

This tent is so small that it can only hold a bed but nothing else. Monk has to crouch down to come in. But this small tent is a timely help to Zong Yanli.

After her injury got better, she sent Wen Nian away and changed the dressings by herself. She was always nervous every time she did so.

General Zong Yan is a new official, so naturally he wants to make some noise.

The military competition is the favorite entertainment of the soldiers in each camp.

"It's time to win glory for the Right Battalion!" Early in the morning, the Right Battalion commander Yang Liqun called everyone to the parade ground to announce the matter. Looking at his excited face with saliva flying, it was clear that he was determined to win this military competition.

"No matter whether you have the ability or not, come at me!" Yang Liqun roared loudly.
