Chapter 1566: Regaining One’s Heart

Seven days later, Yun Zheng arrived at Xuangui City exhausted.

Counting the time, many of them haven't seen Yun Zheng for nearly two years.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

From a distance, Yun Zheng saw a group of people running towards their team.

As they approached, Yun Zheng saw familiar faces.

Shen Kuan, Wang Qi, Lu Xing, Li Cheng, Liang Tie...

"I will see you at last, Your Highness!"

Everyone quickly dismounted and roared in unison.

It was as if they wanted Yun Zheng to see their spirit and energy.

It seemed as if he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

Looking at these familiar faces, Yun Zheng felt particularly happy.

Yun Zheng quickly dismounted and walked in front of the crowd, looking at them one by one.

In the end, it fell on Wang Qi.

"It's okay!"

Yun Zheng patted Wang Qi on the shoulder.

No words of concern, no reproach.

Thousands of words are reduced to a simple sentence.

Wang Qi lowered his head in shame: "I was careless and caused our army to suffer losses for no reason. I am ashamed!"

"Shit!"

Yun Zheng glared at Wang Qi and said, "Who would have thought that the enemy would rather invite a wolf into the house to plot against you? Isn't Yu Shizhong powerful enough? Didn't he lose the battle when he was stabbed in the back?"

Yun Zheng never blamed Wang Qi for the defeat here last year.

There are too many factors that determine the outcome of a war.

In that situation, even if he led the army, he would most likely suffer defeat.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Wang Qi raised his head, his face full of gratitude.

\"Okay, let's stop talking about this!\"

Yun Zheng waved his hand and looked at Lu Xing again: "You are considered to be deserting your post, right? What crime do you think I should punish you for?"

Lu Xing is now the Grand Protector of Andong Protectorate.

He did not stay in Qiming City, but ran to Xuangui to greet him.

Isn't this desertion?

"This one……"

Lu Xing suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously: "I am here to report the affairs of the Andong Protectorate to Your Highness in person!"

"You really are good at finding excuses!"

Upon hearing Lu Xing's words, Qin Qihu immediately started to sabotage him: "You are so shameless, you want to go to the war with me!"

Qin Qihu and Lu Xing had worked together in the Blood Clothes Army for a long time and were quite familiar with each other.

Qin Qihu had no pressure in dismantling Lu Xing's stage.

"Qin Qihu!"

Lu Xing bulged his eyes and glared at Qin Qihu, "Don't think you can talk nonsense just because I can't beat you!"

This bastard!

A well-fed man does not know that a hungry man is hungry!

He never missed a single battle. If you asked him to switch places with me, he would definitely jump up.

"Well, I agree with him!"

Yun Zheng nodded in agreement, "You are now the Grand Protector of the Andong Protectorate, so stop thinking about going to war with the army! Your first priority is to stabilize this place!"

After this battle, there probably won’t be any major wars for many years.

He himself has to focus, and it is time for these generals who have fought all the way here to focus as well.

Wasn't Pang Jinjiu also suppressed by him on the original Gaoqin tribe's territory?

"I admit my crime, Your Highness, please punish me!"

Lu Xing didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and admitted his mistake honestly.

He knew that his dream of joining the army to destroy the Yu Kingdom was hopeless.

Now, all I can do is to be his Grand Protector obediently.

"Punishment is fined! I really need to understand the situation here from you!"

Then, Yun Zheng added: "This won't happen again!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

A smile appeared on Lu Xing's face again.

Yun Zheng glanced at him and asked, "Who is managing the affairs here for you now?"

Lu Xing laughed dryly and said, "I originally planned to let Wang Qi take over the affairs on my behalf, but he insisted on coming to Your Highness to apologize. So I can only let Wei Jianshan take over the affairs on my behalf."

Wei Jianshan?

Well, not bad!

After all, he used to be the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, so there should be no problem for him to preside over the affairs of the Andong Protectorate on behalf of Lu Xing.

"What about you?"

At this time, Yun Zheng looked at Shen Kuan again.

"what?"

Shen Kuan looked at Yun Zheng with a puzzled expression, "Your Highness, I am the commander-in-chief of the Xiongjin Navy! I..."

"Stop talking nonsense to me!"

Yun Zheng kicked Shen Kuan on the buttocks, "Have you forgotten what I told you when I left here?"

Being reminded by Yun Zheng, Shen Kuan immediately chuckled.

He knew what Yun Zheng was talking about!

Isn't it just about getting married?

It's been almost two years, and he hasn't settled down here, so it seems that this kick was not unfair.

"I have so many things to do that I don't have the energy to start a family!"

Shen Kuan explained to Yun Zheng bitterly.

"fart!"

Yun Zheng glared at Shen Kuan unhappily, "I think you are secretly disobeying my orders!"

"No, absolutely not!"

Shen Kuan said solemnly: "I will..."

"Shut up, you!"

Yun Zheng glared at Shen Kuan again and said, "Well, before Zhao Liuliang and the others arrive, I will settle your marriage first!"

"It's not...this..."

Shen Kuan opened his mouth stupidly.

What you say is wind and rain!

Looking at Shen Kuan's appearance, the others all looked gloating.

"Okay, it's settled!"

Yun Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with Shen Kuan, and said to Lu Xing and the others: "Anyone of you know a girl with good looks and family background, she can be any..."

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Shen Kuan quickly stopped Yun Zheng and said, "I promise that we will get married after defeating Yu Country! Please give me some time, Your Highness."

Shen Kuan was really scared!

He also doesn't want to marry someone with whom he has no emotional foundation at all!

If he had married just for the sake of getting married, he would have married long ago.

"Sure?"

Yun Zheng asked with a dark face.

"Sure!"

Shen Kuan straightened his body, "I am willing to issue a military order!"

"..."

After hearing Shen Kuan's words, everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It seems that Shen Kuan was also forced into a corner.

I'm issuing a military order just for this matter.

"Okay, I'll trust you just once!"

Yun Zheng nodded, "Alright, let's go into the city first!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Yun Zheng entered Xuangui City.

Seeing Yun Zheng entering the city, the Daqian soldiers guarding the Black Turtle also cheered.

Although Yun Zheng didn't know many of the people here, most of these soldiers had followed him all the way here.

Seeing Yun Zheng again at this moment, they were also very excited.

Yun Zheng waved to the soldiers on the city wall, and ordered Shen Kuan: "Give everyone an extra meal tonight! I haven't been here for two years. If I come here again, I have to pay a little!"

"Yes!"

Shen Kuan loudly accepted the order, and then whispered to Yun Zheng: "It will probably take another five days for General Zhao's troops to arrive. Your Highness, would you like to go to Pingji so that I can make arrangements in advance?"

"not going!"

Yun Zheng shook his head without hesitation.

He naturally understood what Shen Kuan meant.

However, there are still many things to do right now, and this is not the time to be sentimental.

Shen Kuan paused for a moment, and then continued, "Yesterday I sent people to the vicinity of Pingji to spread the news that the Black Turtle was coming. If Madam Jiayao received the news, she might also bring the little prince to see Your Highness."

"Look!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "Don't worry about these things!"

"Your first priority now is to prepare for the expedition!"

"As soon as Zhao Liuliang and his men arrive, we will rush to Xiongjin and swear to go to war!"
