My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 183
After the war, Qin He did not rush to return to the capital, but stayed behind to work with Deng Yunheng to renovate Jianmen Pass, which was almost in ruins.

Fortunately, although General Wu was seriously injured, he finally saved his life and woke up half a month after Xirong's defeat.

Qin He, the military governor who was ordered to do so at the critical moment, promptly transferred his military power back and embarked on his way back to the capital.

At this time, the report of the victory at Jianmen Pass had been presented to Emperor Qianyuan's desk.

The Holy Lord Longyan was overjoyed, and all the officials shouted long live.

Hearing that the imperial court had won the battle, the people of Shengjing were overjoyed, and the haze that shrouded Dayong finally dissipated.

Beiyu and Nanyi, who had been making small moves, also retracted their claws and became calm.

Dayong used a victory that attracted worldwide attention to resolve the previous situation of being besieged on all sides.

Ling'an City, which was closer to Jianmen Pass, also received the news of Dayong's victory as quickly as possible.

Jiang Chen looked at the secret report in his hand with an incredible expression.

"Thunderbolt?" He muttered an unfamiliar word mentioned in the secret report, his eyes burning like a torch.

Is this the thing that made Xirong fail?

Then, his eyes paused on Qin He's name again.

"Thunderbolt" was brought to Jianmen Pass by Qin He himself, and he was responsible for commanding and operating the troops. There is a lot of meaning in this.

After casually burning the secret fold, Jiang Chen smiled, thinking that Marquis Wenxin's Mansion would be very "lively" in the future.

However, he has no friendship with Qin He for the time being. If there is an opportunity in the future, he wonders if he can ask the Qin Prince for two "thunderbolts" to enjoy and study.

Right now, he and his father Qin Yan have an important matter imminent.

As the news of Xirong's defeat came, the eight thousand Xirong garrison who were left behind in Ling'an City were already panicking. They urged him to leave and rush back to the royal court every day, for fear that Dayong would come to settle the score.

As for Ling'an City?Can we survive with just 8000 of them now?
It is better to be sensible and return it voluntarily, which can also take the opportunity to show Xirong's sincerity in the peace talks between the two countries.

On behalf of Dayong, Qin Yan accepted the sincerity of "peace talks" offered by Xirong, and politely sent people out of Ling'an City in the name of "the two countries are at war without killing the envoys".

After Jiang Chen walked for two days with the dejected 8000 Western soldiers, he encountered a large number of ambushes in a place called "Wolong Valley". Except for him, the other [-] people did not survive.

"Your Highness, please return to the capital with me. This is your Majesty's wish."

The person leading the ambush was clearly Qin Yan.

"It's time to go back to your majesty and ask for rewards. For your majesty's great cause, I endured humiliation and nearly lost my life in Xirong, so asking for some rewards from your majesty is not too much, right? Don't you think so, Marquis of Qin?"

Jiang Chen asked with a vague smile on his face as he looked at Qin Yan, who was dressed in black. "Your Highness has made great contributions. Your Majesty will definitely not treat you badly."

"Who knows?" Jiang Chen shrugged and smiled as if unintentionally: "Qin Hou, you said that His Majesty will not cross the river and demolish the bridge, remove the mill and kill the donkey, right?"

"Your Highness, please be careful and don't speak arbitrarily about Your Majesty." Qin Yan looked helpless and said seriously: "Your Majesty has always been tolerant. The reason for returning to the capital this time is to let His Highness recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you will know when you come to the capital." .”

Jiang Chen still looked lazy and unruly, "Qin Hou, do you think that if this young master is not poisoned and has many years left to live, how should His Majesty's attitude toward me be?"

Qin Yan was silent for a moment, lowering his head and saying nothing.

Jiang Chen reached out and patted Qin Yan on the shoulder, and said with a wild smile: "This is the most ruthless emperor's family. Your Majesty should really thank King Yong for being ruthless in the past and saving him so much trouble."

Qin Yan, with a head and two heads, said unbearably: "Your Highness, the water in Shengjing is deep, you can't be so unscrupulous in your words and deeds anymore."

Glancing at him, Jiang Chen half-smiled but said, "The Marquis of Qin will not tell His Majesty what you and I said in private today, right?"

"His Royal Highness and the veteran are just discussing the truce and compensation with Xirong after the war. There is nothing ulterior."

Qin Yan said seriously.

Jiang Chen gave him a thumbs up, "Qin Hou is indeed on the right track. But it seems that after returning to the capital, Qin Hou, you will face more troubles than this young master."

After saying that, Jiang Chen laughed happily.

Qin Yan was silent again, his expression very solemn.

Of course he knew what the other party was referring to. Qin He had already told the whole story in a secret letter. He had a headache when he thought about what his daughter-in-law had made.

I never knew that my daughter-in-law was so secretive, and the Qin family might not be able to live a peaceful life in the future.

But if he were in the same position as his son, Qin Yan believed that he would make the same choice as his son.

Since Emperor Taizong, the ancestral motto of the Qin family has been "loyalty to the emperor and the country."

At that time, Jianmen Pass was in danger, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the pass were hanging by a thread. If Qin He and his wife clearly had the ability to save things, but just stood by and watched, then they were not worthy of being part of the Qin family.

As for the storm that the Qin family may face afterwards, it is still unknown. One cannot allow known dangers to occur for the sake of unknown things. This is the responsibility and judgment that Qin He should have as the next generation head of the family.

Qin Yan supported his son and daughter-in-law's actions both in public and private matters, but it was true that the Qin family would be in deep trouble from now on.

Who doesn’t want a “magic weapon” that can kill [-] enemy troops in a battle?

Looking up at the rolling dark clouds in the distance, Qin Yan's heart was as heavy as the dark sky.
