In Yancheng, a warhorse rushed in from the city gate. A young messenger galloped along while shouting, "Xiongzhou City has been breached. The Yan army has won a great victory."
"Xiongzhou City was captured, and the Yan Army won a great victory."
Everyone was in uproar. Xiongzhou City had been broken. How many years had passed? How many years had everyone been waiting for this? Soon, the sound of firecrackers rang out in the street, and this sound spread like a wave in Yancheng.
General's Mansion.
Wei Yang was playing chess with the old general under a tree in the greenhouse, while the old butler was twirling his beard in silence, while Kong Gu and You Lan were serving tea and snacks.
Xiao Cao came running from the front yard, panting, and shouted as he ran: "Old General, Madam, Xiongzhou City has been broken, Xiongzhou City has been broken."
"What?" Wei Yang stood up suddenly, and the chessboard she and the old general were playing on was thrown to the ground with a "crash" due to the hem of her skirt.
The old general trembled as he helped the old butler who was bending over to pick up the chess pieces on the ground: "Old man, get up, get up, Xiongzhou City has been captured, and you can see your grandchildren."
"Dad, Xiongzhou City has been broken, did you hear it?" Wei Yang said with tears rolling down her cheeks. She saw that the old general's eyes were also filled with tears.
The old housekeeper was squatting on the ground and sobbing. He hadn't seen his son for more than 30 years. He thought he would die without seeing his children and grandchildren. Unexpectedly, Xiongzhou City was broken.
"I heard you shouting so loudly, and I'm not deaf." The old general wiped the tears from his face.
Xiongzhou City was broken, finally broken. Even if he died, the old man had the face to meet the ancestors of the Yan family.
Wei Yang suddenly turned to Xiao Cao: "Where is the general? When will he come back?"
Xiao Cao was speechless: "General, General, I haven't asked yet, Xiongzhou City has been destroyed, the general must be fine."
"Let's go to the front." The old general pointed at Wei Yang and said, "You are fast, run faster and ask. Let's go to the front and check clearly."
The old butler reached out to support the old general, and Weiyang didn't need Konggu's support. She just picked up her skirt and ran forward.
As long as she knew Yan Gui was safe, she would feel at ease.
The messenger who came back to deliver the message saw Wei Yang and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Madam, a great victory, Xiongzhou City has been captured."
"How's the general? Are you alright?"
"General Yan is fine. It's just..." The messenger stammered, "It's just that the general led 2,000 soldiers to chase Nu Ce."
Wei Yang's palms were slightly cold, perhaps because she had just run in a hurry, her palms were slightly sweaty. She was silent for a while, then turned to look at the old general who was stumbling towards her with the help of the old butler.
"Dad." Wei Yang went up to him and pursed her sore lips: "It's okay, the general is fine, he went to chase Nu Ce."
The old general looked at Wei Yang, whose face was slightly pale, and said softly, "Well, I guess he will be back in a few days after things in Xiongzhou City are sorted out. You should go back and see what to prepare. Didn't you say you would have a wedding when you come back? You, the bride, can't just sit there doing nothing."
The old general's words were warm yet powerful, like a spring breeze blowing on her face, which suddenly calmed Weiyang's heart.
Wei Yang's throat choked. She shouldn't panic. She was just chasing Nu Ce.
She said to Fu Li, "Dad, I will go back and prepare some clothes to make a robe for the general."
"Go, go." The old general called the messenger into the small study. He wanted to ask in detail about the situation after the fall of Xiongzhou City.
Yan Gui went to chase Nu Ce, and it was not clear whether this was a good or bad thing.
When a son grows up, he is no longer under the control of his father.
