After listening to Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu's explanations, Su Li pondered for a moment and then asked, "Are you really determined to stay in Lingcheng and not move the capital with them?"

The most prosperous place must be the capital of a country. Su Li was worried that the two of them did not realize this, which is why she asked so seriously.

Aunt Wang and the others knew what Su Li was worried about, so they said very seriously, "Madam, you don't need to worry. We've thought this through very clearly and won't regret it."

They were both adults and capable of independent thinking. Seeing how serious Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu were, Su Li didn't ask any more questions and simply nodded, saying, "In that case, you can stay here. I support you."

Hearing Su Li say this, Aunt Wang and the others, who were still somewhat hesitant, immediately felt relieved and said, "Madam, please rest assured that the grain base is in our care."

Upon hearing this, Su Li smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course I trust my aunts, I feel very reassured leaving it to you."

These words were especially gratifying. Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu were overjoyed and said, "We will certainly live up to your expectations, Madam."

There were still many things to be handed over at the base, which couldn't be completed in a short time. So Su Li instructed the other aunties, "Aunties, please take care of your work in the coming days and hand it over to Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu."

"Okay, we understand."

……

After a year, the soldiers and generals who were fighting abroad were eager to go home, so they did not linger along the way and hurried back.

The trip was a bit rushed, but fortunately, they were all strong and healthy soldiers who did not experience any discomfort. On the contrary, they were all very excited.

When they were still dozens of kilometers away from Lingcheng, the army stopped to rest, and generals such as Zhao Zexuan sat down to rest without regard for their image.

Mo Nan and the others sat around, looking at Lingcheng so close by, and said with some excitement, "We're finally going home."

Hearing this, Zhao Zexuan's tense emotions relaxed slightly, and he said with a slight smile, "Yes, it's time to go home."

The tension that had been building up for a whole year was finally relieved, and Mo Nan and the others joked, "General, do you miss Madam, and the young master and young lady?"

This was a direct jab, and the other generals couldn't help but stare at Zhao Zexuan, eager to hear his response.

Zhao Zexuan sensed the generals' gazes, and nodded without changing her expression, saying, "I miss them. It's been a year since I last saw them. I wonder how they are doing now."

Hearing the answer they wanted, Mo Nan and the others were satisfied. They smiled and said, "The general and his wife correspond every day, so they know each other's situation very well. Besides, we'll be arriving in Lingcheng soon."

That's a good point. Zhao Zexuan looked around and said, "Let the soldiers rest well. We won't stop halfway. We'll go straight back to Lingcheng."

Mo Nan and the others shared the same thought. Upon hearing this, they simply nodded and said, "General, don't worry. We told the soldiers early this morning that they all want to go home as soon as possible."

***

After resting for about 15 minutes, the army set off again, but just as Zhao Zexuan had said, they did not stop along the way.

Outside Lingcheng, Su Li and the others, having received the news, were waiting outside the city early in the morning for the army's return.

The entire city of Ling was thrilled by the army's safe return.
