"Then please be kind to me too."

General He looked at him carefully: "Have you been wronged?"

"No, it's just that I miss you."

He Wuyang never mentioned the bullying he suffered in the capital.

He actually suffered some grievances when he was young. How could a child not suffer grievances when there are no adults around?

Especially during the reign of the late emperor.

That's no pushover.

His life truly began to improve after the current emperor gained control of the discourse.

The emperor even considered sending him to the palace so that it would be easier to take care of him.

However, he preferred the freedom outside the palace and did not agree.

However, there's no need to tell Grandfather about these things.

He didn't feel wronged.

Because he retaliated in private.

When I was young, I could do very little to help my family. My only wish was to keep them from worrying.

He is willing to let go of his past self.

I have grown up, and now, my light boat has already passed countless mountains.

General He was relieved: "I'll see you every day from now on. I just hope you won't find me annoying."

"No, never."

……

The next morning, as soon as General He heard that Zheng Xun had gotten up, he brought He Wuyang to see her.

He ostensibly wanted to have breakfast with her, but in reality, he was just curious about what would happen next behind the light screen.

Zheng Xun pretended not to know anything and only turned on the light screen after sitting down at the dining table.

Inside the light screen, Qi Wuyu and Che Zhong'an were preparing to enter the dungeon.

Che Zhong'an turned his head and asked, "Is he really willing to talk?"

“Yes,” Qi Wuyu’s face turned slightly pale, “This is the third time you’ve asked.”

His impatient tone failed to stop Che Zhong'an, and he asked again, "Did you really get it out?"

"If you use the same annoyance you have for me to interrogate the prisoners, you can succeed too."

Che Zhong'an finally shut up.

It wasn't because he had recovered from his shock; it was simply because he had arrived at the destination.

Upon entering the cell, it was discovered that Du Xuan's energy and spirit had largely dissipated.

Qi Wuyu quickened his pace, but Du Xuan still didn't react.

Qi Wuyu slowly walked up to him, looking down at him: "Are you ready to speak?"

Du Xuan didn't speak, but slowly raised his head.

Qi Wuyu's brows relaxed: "How do you know that Zhuo Mu harbors resentment towards Qi Yongji?"

“He usually acts as if he is grateful to Qi Yongji, and everyone is fooled by him, including me,” Du Xuan said in a slightly hoarse voice. “He never really gets drunk. People think he is drunk, but he is actually faking it. But once, he accidentally drank a pot of very strong liquor. In his drunken state, he blurted out that Qi Yongji was a pig.”

Che Zhong'an: What a simple insult.

"how come?"

Qi Yongji had promoted Zhuo Mu, and Zhuo Mu should have been grateful to Qi Yongji.

Du Xuan was pale and dazed. He answered almost everything Qi Wuyu asked: "He said that if he had the chance, he would definitely kill Qi Yongji. Later I found out that Zhuo Mu actually wanted to pursue a career in government, but Qi Yongji found that he was more suited to be a military general."

Qi Wuyu was quite confused: "That's it?"

"That's it. He said it was his father's last wish, and he couldn't fulfill it, so he harbored resentment."

In fact, Zhuo Mu had no talent for studying at all.

He's just a little bit smarter than the average person. But that little bit isn't enough to make him stand out from countless geniuses.

Qi Wuyu touched his chin.

That reason seems a bit far-fetched.

Are you sure he's not faking being drunk to fool you?

"Impossible, I have never shown any disloyalty."

Qi Wuyu frowned and skipped the topic: "Why did the Brown Kingdom choose to attack by water first?"

Che Zhong'an thought to himself, "This is Qi Yongji's decision. What could a mere bodyguard like Du Xuan possibly know?"

However, since it was Qi Wuyu's turn to speak, he didn't say it aloud.

Unexpectedly, Du Xuan actually pointed out a crucial point.

"The ships of the Brown Kingdom have been improved, and Zhuo Mu has also trained a navy at his request, making them more confident in naval operations."

If Dayong had not been struck by lightning, the He Kingdom would undoubtedly have won.

Che Zhong'an's brows relaxed considerably.

Later, Qi Wuyu asked a few more questions, but couldn't get anything useful out of Du Xuan.

Leaving the dungeon, Qi Wuyu said regretfully, "What a pity, a mere guard doesn't know much."

"At least I have some idea of ​​what's going on."

Che Zhong'an was curious.

Getting Du Xuan to speak is no easy feat, and the fact that he managed to do so proves his ability.

I just don't know how he did it.

He didn't dare ask about something that concerned his livelihood, and instead said regretfully, "It's a pity we didn't catch Zhuo Mu. I'm sure Qi Wuyu could have pried a lot out of him."

Outside the light screen, Zheng Xun swallowed the last mouthful of porridge.

[It's a pity, Zhuo Mu is a useless piece of trash; knowing about his rift with Qi Yongji is of no use.]

Qi Yongji wouldn't believe him, nor would he give Zhuo Mu a chance to retaliate.

[Qi Yongji's aura of good fortune hasn't dissipated after all; important news still can't be seen through the light screen.]

Zheng Xun was not disappointed.

People should always be content.

The light curtain can serve a purpose, however small. Even without it, things will simply return to normal.

Take it easy.

Even though Qi Yongji is blessed by heaven, she is determined to tear a hole in this sky.

Zheng Xun wiped his mouth: "I came here today to check on your well-being. Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved."

Are you leaving?

Zheng Xun nodded: "Time waits for no one."

He Wuyang opened his mouth, wanting to persuade her to stay for two more days, but he knew she wouldn't stay.

"You must come back safely."

"You don't need to worry about me."

Instead of worrying about her, we should worry about He Jiajun.

Those nails that were just planted inside are going to be restless!

Wei Yanxing and his group had already finished breakfast and packed their luggage.

Zheng Xun rode Fei Bai away swiftly, watched by the He family grandfather and grandson.

They traveled without stopping and finally arrived at the He family army's camp.

At that time, Zheng Jiao was leading a group of soldiers on patrol when she saw several people riding horses approaching. She was initially wary, but when she saw who was on horseback, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Zheng Xun stopped Fei Bai in front of her. She bent down, leaned close to her, and said with a smile, "Second sister, don't you recognize me?"

And so, she arrived at Zheng Jiao's side, carried by the wind from the capital.

Zheng Jiao stared at her blankly for a while, then grabbed her waist and pulled her off the horse: "Yuan Jia! What are you doing here?"

She hugged Zheng Xun in her arms, then let go of her, and looked her over again and again: "You've grown so much taller, and your features have matured. You're a grown woman now."

Zheng Xun patiently let her pull and tug at him, asking, "Aren't you getting prettier as you grow up?"

"That's for sure!"

Zheng Xun looked at Zheng Jiao with a grin.

The feeling of seeing it through a light screen is somewhat different from seeing it in person.

She reached out and touched Zheng Jiao's cheek: "Second sister, you're so majestic!"

"That's natural!"

The two sisters shared an identical air of pride in their eyes.

Zheng Jiao held onto Zheng Xun tightly, reluctant to let go: "I'll take you to see Wu Yu."
