Although I knew that Shi Yan was different from them, she had been free and unrestrained since childhood and had extraordinary martial arts skills.

But every time I see him act so impulsively, I can't help but worry for him.

Wei Shiyan blew a whistle to call the horse, easily mounted its back and whipped it away. The bright red color was so dazzling in everyone's eyes. The girls lying in front of the window saw this scene, and they breathed a sigh of relief, with envy in their eyes that was hard to conceal.

"Dad! Mom!" Wei Shiyan ran all the way back home, threw down the horsewhip in a hurry, and ran towards the inner house.

"You're back so early today?" Zong Yanyin was sitting in the courtyard, wearing a simple satin dress. Her hair was tied up in a bun, which made her look gentle and charming. Although she was already a woman, her face had a more feminine and peaceful look. There was a bonsai pine tree at hand, which she was trimming with her head lowered.

“Mother!!!” Wei Shiyan came running over and quickly snatched the scissors from Zong Yanyin’s hand. She said excitedly, “Uncle is coming back! Our army has won a great victory and will return triumphantly soon! We won!”

"What!?" Zong Yanyin was startled and suddenly grabbed Wei Shiyan's wrist. Her eyes were filled with joy and surprise. She asked hurriedly, "Really? Where did you hear that?"

"The king's flag is a letter, and everyone in the Daqian Imperial City knows about it!" Wei Shiyan's face flushed, and she was extremely excited.

"Great, great..."

Zong Yanyin immediately had tears in her eyes. She covered her mouth with her hands in excitement, suppressed the slight trembling of her body and whispered, "It's finally over, finally...it's all over..."

My brother.

My brother is finally coming back.

Zong Yanyin cried with joy, raised her hand to wipe her tears and turned around and said, "Quick, go and tell your grandmother."

Wei Shiyan responded, turned around and ran away quickly.

When the military report was delivered to the palace, He Honglang had just come down from the court meeting. His expression was not very good, but the man's tall and straight figure already had the majesty of an emperor, his brows contained a fierce aura of authority without even being angry, and he looked dignified in his dragon robe.

He Honglang, now 18 years old, has shed his youthful languor. He is no longer the young emperor who cautiously tested the government affairs. He Honglang has the ability to compete with court officials, and his imperial power and tactics are increasingly controlling the government affairs.

This also gradually led to a situation of conflict between the emperor and his ministers.

What they talked about today was not the affairs of the court, but the issue of He Honglang becoming the queen. The initial dispute made the emperor so angry that he left the table in anger.

"Your Majesty, General Zong Yan has won a great victory, and the State of Lu has been destroyed!" The palace servant who was waiting outside, holding the royal flag and military reports in his hands, knelt before the emperor and raised his hands high, his tone full of excitement.

He Honglang paused in his tracks, and reached out to take the military report. He quickly scanned what was said in the report, and his expression immediately changed from gloomy to bright. He laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Hahaha! All the northern countries belong to Daqian!"

He Honglang's face was filled with excitement, and he said quickly, "Hurry up and report this to my mother. The teacher will be returning to the capital in triumph soon, and I will lead all the officials to welcome him!"

As the military report arrived, everyone in the palace and even the common people in the city learned of the good news. The entire imperial city was filled with joy, which was even happier than the Chinese New Year.

At this time, Zong Yanli had not even left the north. Even though he was eager to return home, he still wanted to pay close attention to the situation in the north. Although the countries had been destroyed, he had to make preparations for further unification. The differences between the north and the south were too great, and he had to be careful in governing.

Benefiting the people is the best choice. Zong Yanli has no ability to be a politician. He just wants to travel more and see more. What the people show is what the king needs to know.

"Years of war have caused the people to suffer, and it is a pity that so much fertile land in the north has become barren." On the march, Zong Yanli took Pei Liang, Lu Peibai and others to travel around and gained a lot.

"Now that the war has stopped, we can cultivate this fertile land and harvest food next year to relieve the people's worries."

“We also need to keep up with water conservancy.”

Zong Yanli was sitting on a haystack while Lu Peibai and Pei Liang were discussing something in front of him.

The spring sun does not burn people, and green grass on the ground sprouts up, exuding the vigor of new life.

Occasionally passing by the battlefields of the past, the places affected by the war are still charred black. I wonder how long it will take for them to recover. Many border towns are still deserted, and the number of refugees on the roads is staggering. It will probably take a long time for them to recover their former vitality.
