The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

The Song Group went bankrupt.

The battle between Dajin and Beiling continues.

As the year came to an end, Qi Yu still didn't get to celebrate the New Year with Song Nian, but it didn't matter. After a battle that lasted for 72 days, Da Jin won!

"Victory, victory, victory!"

There were 300,000 generals in the Northwest Army Camp, but in the end only 180,000 were left, and Beiling was completely defeated.

King Beiling was captured, Ao Nian died on the battlefield, and many other young Beiling generals surrendered. The news of the recovery of the border was quickly passed back.

Dijing.

Shen House.

Shen Qian sat at the desk, looking at the express news that came from eight hundred miles away, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

"It seems he did."

It was self-evident who he was referring to.

"Young Master, if he really comes back, it may not be good news for us."

Yes, when he was still the crown prince, nothing had been done.

Now that he is about to come back, just when they are about to take action, it is indeed not good news.

But for some reason, he felt happy in his heart.

They actually welcomed that person back.

"Perhaps from the beginning to the end, he and I will never be able to stand side by side."

They are bound to go to war.

The servant saw the young master sigh deeply and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his lips.

He wanted to persuade the young master to take action, perhaps to ambush him on the way. Or perhaps he could blame the ambush on the Su family, but he knew the young master would not agree.

"Has the Su family taken any action recently?"

Shen Qian didn't even raise his head, as if he was asking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

"After the last incident, there was a rift between Imperial Concubine Su and the Emperor. Although the Emperor ordered Prime Minister Su to see the emperor, he is no longer valued and has been doing a lot of tricks behind the scenes. We also have their people in the Shen Mansion."

Shen Qian snorted.

The moment he stuffed the person into his Shen Mansion, he knew that he was just turning a blind eye.

And there was that little eunuch who always stared at him intentionally or unintentionally when he was on duty in the palace. He was not so stupid as to believe that the little eunuch admired his style and that he was also Concubine Su's man.

But it doesn't matter.

"It's been more than three months. Her people can follow if they want. She will be back soon. I'm afraid Concubine Su won't be able to take care of me."

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

When the emperor received the good news of the victory of the northwestern soldiers, he was overjoyed.

"Come on, pass on the order to summon Duan Zhan and others from the Northwest Army Camp and return to the capital in triumph!"

He was talking about 'waiting for others', not just Duan Zhan.

Concubine Su, who was serving beside him, immediately frowned. "Your Majesty, we just recaptured Beiling, and you are so anxious to summon General Changfeng back. What if the remnants of Beiling stir up trouble again? In my opinion..."

"presumptuous!"

The emperor shouted angrily, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, Concubine Su, do you know what you are saying?"

Su Ying immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please be merciful. I have overstepped the bounds."

The emperor snorted and ignored Su Ying, not even letting her stand up. He just asked the eunuch to convey his order immediately.

Watching the emperor leave the imperial study, Concubine Su was so angry that her long nails dug into her palms.

Asshole.

This clearly means that Duan Zhan should bring people back personally.

Qi Yu, is he coming back?

It was only half a year since he left.

It was so close that he could never come back.

"My Lady, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent a message asking if you need any help?"

After helping the empress back to the bedroom, the maid immediately took out the letter sent by the prime minister.

Su Ying hurriedly opened it, and saw a few large words scribbled on it, "My daughter, don't worry. Everything is fine with your father."

Whether you are in good health or in good condition, there is no need to write in detail. After all, if these things like letters are intercepted, it will be irrefutable evidence of losing your head.

Concubine Su gritted her teeth, her chest heaving. "Assholes! Trash! How could we let them win?"

Dad had clearly made all the arrangements and was going to raise the army after the New Year, but Duan Zhan just happened to bring the troops back at this time.

He is the ever-victorious general. Including the soldiers who surrendered from Beiling, he now has more than 200,000 men under his command. As long as he returns to the capital, there will be no problem for their Su family.

"Reply to Dad, as long as you are safe, I will follow Dad's instructions on how to improve yourself."

Everything is subject to the Prime Minister.

Including the next task.

"Yes, ma'am."

The maid left with the message.

"Wait..." Su Ying seemed to have thought of something, and she called the person back. "That person is cunning and has a lot of ideas. He escaped pursuit all the way there, so it's inevitable that he didn't take adequate precautions in advance. What if he sneaks back before the army, then our people will be empty-handed?"

No, Qi Yu must not be allowed to come back.

Su Ying thought for a moment and said, "Withdraw all those monitoring the Shen Mansion and send them out. Keep a close eye on all suspicious individuals in the Imperial Capital. Anyone approaching the Imperial City will be killed, regardless of their identity!"

As long as Qi Yu appears, if he does not have the token proving his identity as the crown prince, he is not the crown prince.

If we kill him, even if the emperor finds out, it will be the subordinates' fault.

As long as Qi Yu was dead, what would Duan Zhan do even if he came back? Even if he recovered, he would still have to go back to the border to guard it. The Su family had waited for so many years, so they didn't mind waiting a little longer.

"We still have our last trump card, and it's time to reveal it."

Northwest Camp.

When Duan Zhan received the imperial edict, he was ecstatic.

"The Emperor has summoned us back to the capital."

In an instant, the whole camp was filled with joy.

Qi Yu, who had been feeling anxious and worried, seemed to be relieved.

From the moment Beiling surrendered, he had been waiting for his father's imperial edict. He waited for thirty days, from the vernal equinox to the summer solstice, and finally it came.

The snow on the mountains outside has melted, and he is finally going back to Beijing.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, the clouds have finally cleared!" Jiang Zhi clasped his hands together and congratulated sincerely.

Qi Yu waved his hand and said, "It's just a return to Beijing. My mission has just begun."

There is still a fierce battle waiting for him when he returns.

Although there was no need for a war, the incident that almost made him lose heart was no worse than fighting with Beiling.

"It's good to be able to go back."

Duan Zhan's palm landed heavily on his shoulder.

He was taken outside the tent. "Have you thought about what to do after you return?"

Qi Yu shook his head. "To be honest, I haven't thought about it."

In the past, he insisted that he had killed his brother with his own hands, and it was Nian'er who made him realize that everything was a trap set by Concubine Su.

But he just couldn't believe that a biological mother would really be willing to use her own flesh and blood to set up a trap.

Until that time he was poisoned by a Gu insect.

"The Jin dynasty belongs to the people. Ensuring that the people can live and work in peace and contentment is what we, the nobles of royal families, should do. Therefore..."

Qi Yu said: "Even if I don't become the crown prince, I will never let this villain succeed!"

He may not clear his own name, but he must eradicate the Su family.

"I'll help you."

Duan Zhan's eyes were determined, just like when he cut off Ao Nian's head with his own hands.

"And me."

Zhao Li appeared behind him at some point.

In the battle with Beiling, Zhao Li made many contributions except for being trapped in the northwest mountains. I heard that a young general counted them carefully and found that he killed more than 10,000 enemy soldiers in total.

It seems that this time the promotion and title are secured.

"Okay, let's go back to Beijing together."
