Xu Zhao saw Shen Yu sitting outside the carriage at a glance. From his appearance, he knew that he did not rest well as expected.

Whether it was because she was eager to go home or for some other reason, she quickened her pace and soon arrived in front of Shen Yu.

It was snowing heavily and cold, and Xu Zhao didn't have a cloak, so he took out a thick cloak from the carriage, jumped out and put it on Xu Zhao.

I don’t know since when, the relationship between the two has become subtle. No one has broken the window, and everything is just following their heart.

Shen Yu touched Xu Zhao's hand and said, "It's so cold."

When their hands touched, to be honest, Xu Zhao didn't feel that Shen Yu's hands were that warm.

"Come on, get into the carriage," Xu Zhao pushed Shen Yu into the carriage.

Shen Lingge, who was following behind Xu Zhao, covered his face and pretended that the emperor's uncle was not there. He hurried to the campfire to warm himself, sighing in his heart. He was no longer the apple of the emperor's uncle's eye.

The carriage, which was enclosed on all sides, did block the cold wind outside.

The next second, Shen Yu grabbed her hand and put it in his arms, covering it with his cloak to keep her warm.

"During this trip, I have properly settled the people of Lihua Village. I have used jewels to allow them to buy this mountain and transfer it to Qinghe. This way, it will be Qinghe's village, and everyone will be able to live a better life. They will no longer be treated as bandits by the government."

"In addition, I have also recruited a staff member for Qinghe. This way, even if I leave, this gentleman can help Qinghe achieve great things."

Xu Zhao continued to talk to Shen Lingge about many things that happened in Lihua Village, detailing every detail so as not to worry him.

"Who are the staff you just mentioned? And what is Qinghe's great cause?"

Facing Shen Yu's question, Xu Zhao could only answer half of it, "The husband of the head of Lihua Village is the staff member I found for Qinghe. He is resourceful and will be able to provide Qinghe with a lot of help in the future."

Shen Yu is not unfamiliar with the word "future", but he is confused when facing the future.

"But will Qinghe inherit the throne? Will Qinghe be a king who makes a difference in the future?"

"Yes, under your training, Qinghe will be a good emperor." Xu Zhao did not give Shen Yu an accurate answer.

Xu Zhao told Shen Yu the whole process of her recruiting Yu Chengyan.

"Of the three strongholds outside Li'an City, one has been wiped out, one has become a village under Qinghe River, and what should be done with the last one, Chuntian Stronghold?" They have already wasted a lot of time. If they delay any further, the emperor will probably blame them.

The temperature inside the carriage was only slightly higher than outside. Xu Zhao's hand was still in Shen Yu's arms. Shen Yu's hand was restless and slowly moved her hand to the position of his heart.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The beating of his palm affected Xu Zhao's emotions.

Shen Yu lowered his head slightly, looking at her from time to time, with a beautiful arc at the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile.

"Stop it!" Xu Zhao's hand was held tightly. She pushed and shoved but couldn't break free at all. She could only glare at him pretending to be angry.

Shen Yu laughed and loosened his grip. Xu Zhao felt it, but didn't pull his hand away. He had a ready-made hand warmer, so why not use it?

"Chuntian Village is some distance from here. I have already assigned it to Deputy General Fang. It would be best if we could recruit him."

"The Chuntian Village robs the rich and helps the poor. I think they are good outlaws, but they have no choice but to become bandits. I think they will surrender after being taught reason. If they join the army, it will be a place for them to go."

"That's right!"

After resting for about an hour, Shen Yu gave the order to continue moving forward.

The heavy snow is still falling. If it goes on any longer, the mountain will be closed due to heavy snow and the road will become even more difficult to travel on.

Seeing that Shen Yu looked tired, Xu Zhao forced him to take a nap.

This time, with Xu Zhao by his side, Shen Yu could sleep peacefully.

The road was slippery due to the snow, so the group walked much slower.

After traveling day and night, we finally arrived at the gate of the imperial city at noon the next day. The heavy snow that had been falling all day finally stopped this morning.

The main streets of the Yue Kingdom's imperial city were bustling with people coming and going. There were also many more pedestrians on the road than usual. Many heads popped out of the tall buildings beside the street. Upon hearing that King Anding was returning to the capital today, they all stretched their necks to look outside the city gate.

"King Anding is back!" The little children who were playing in the mud on the roadside outside the city saw the huge army coming towards the imperial city in the distance. They dropped the mud in their hands without even wiping them off, and ran into the city shouting in a hurry.

King Anding had been away from the imperial city for many years, and many people had never seen him. In order to welcome the army, the people stood on both sides of the road, leaving enough space for them.

"My identity shouldn't be known to too many people, so I won't be going into the city with you. I'll go in with the Mobei envoy."

Shen Yu got off the carriage outside the city gate. Before getting off the horse, Xu Zhao stopped him and gave him some instructions.

After much consideration, Shen Yu had no choice but to agree. He jumped on his horse and led three thousand elite soldiers into the imperial city.

The coachman driving Xu Zhao parked the carriage on the side of the road and waited for the envoy to enter the city.

The streets, which were already bustling in the past, are even more lively today.

As the army entered the city, the horses probably wanted to be watched by the people, so they slowed down their pace. Their hooves made a heavy rumbling sound as they touched the ground, as if to show off their achievements.

The brightly colored flags behind them fluttered in the wind under the blue sky, and the bright armor on the soldiers gleamed brightly in the sunlight.

The most eye-catching one was naturally the leader Shen Yu, dressed in military uniform. His silver armor shone with golden light, and his black hair was neatly tied up on his head. He was not wearing a helmet, and his pleasing face was visible at a glance, which made people obsessed. However, the sharp murderous aura between his brows made people want to retreat.

"Prince Anding is truly formidable, truly worthy of being the War God of my Yue Kingdom!"

"That's right. I heard from my wife's second aunt's cousin's cousin's niece's husband that our King Anding conquered seven cities in Mobei in a row, frightening the Mobei generals into surrendering. The Mobei Emperor had no one to rely on, so he had no choice but to sign a ceasefire agreement."

"I heard that Prince Anding returned victorious this time and brought back a princess from Mobei. I wonder if this princess is coming here to marry a foreign princess?"

"Isn't it possible that the Mobei Kingdom wants to marry its princess to Prince Anding?"

"How can a princess who was defeated by his own men be worthy of my Yue Kingdom's King Anding, who has made great military achievements? This is simply a foolish dream."

"This Prince Anding is so handsome. Even though he has a husband, I still feel amorous when I see him."

"You should be more careful. How dare you say such words? Aren't you afraid that someone will overhear you and throw you into a pig cage?"

"However, this Prince Anding seems a bit cold, while the eldest prince behind him seems more likable."

Shen Yu had been wearing a stern face since he entered the city. His already dignified demeanor now looked even more formidable.

On the contrary, Shen Lingge, as soon as he entered the city, was like a colorful peacock, constantly greeting the people.
