The guard and his companions were stunned.
What did that person say?
The Wei family?
Yes, they had just introduced themselves.
Wei xu…
Wait, Wei Xu?!
Everyone’s gaze landed on Wei Xu’s tall figure and looked behind him in unison.
Wei Chen, Wei Qing, Wei Yan…
They were all sons of the Wei family who had died on the battlefield. How could this be?!
The guard suspected that they were imposters, but at this moment, the guard
of the city tower came over.
The moment he saw Wei Xu, his expression changed.
The city gate was wide open.
Wei Xu said seriously, “Armor!”
Everyone changed into their armor in unison.
Every move was sonorous and powerful, and everyone’s eyes were filled with determination.
Wei Xu said, “Spread the flag!”
Ghostfear took down the flagpole from the carriage and waved it. The Wei family’s flag with red and black words fluttered under the afterglow of the setting sun.
The soldiers guarding the city were instantly filled with respect.
In the carriage, the children had fallen asleep.
Li Wan hugged Wei Xiyue and listened to her father-in-law’s intimidating voice. Feeling the movements of the armor and warhorse, her eyes teared up bit by bit.
The Wei family had waited too long for this day.
Although Su Xiaoxiao had not been married for long, from Wei Ting onwards, she had experienced the storm with everyone from the Wei family.
At this moment, the blood in her body boiled.
She touched the three sleeping children.
Emperor Jing Xuan wanted to kill all of King Nanyang’s descendants.
From the day they entered the capital, the three of them had been hiding, not daring to let anyone discover their true identities.
Although they were still so young and did not seem to know anything, they would subconsciously hide when they encountered unfamiliar people. In their small subconscious, they also knew that they could not be exposed.
In the future, they could finally live openly under the sun.
The group entered the capital.
To the citizens in the city, today was just an ordinary day in their long lives.
This was until they saw the Wei family’s flag and the dazzling golden armor under it.
The warhorse slowed down and walked steadily on the long street.
For some reason, the noisy street suddenly fell silent.
The commoners looked at the few generals who were riding their horses over in a daze. The person in the lead was wearing golden armor. His face was cold and his aura was sharp.
Behind him were four young generals in silver armor.
Everyone was surprised at first. As they watched, someone in the crowd recognized the Wei family’s flag. “It’s the Wei family army!”
A commoner said.
The vendor at the side said, “Didn’t the Wei family army disband long ago? After the war five years ago, the Wei family army was gone!”
Another commoner said, “Look at the flag! It’s so big!”
“It’s the Wei family, right?”
“The Wei family is only left with Scholar Wei and the women. How can there be so many men?”
“I remember this set of golden armor! It belongs to General Wei Xu! When the Wei family went to war, I sent them off by the roadside! I won’t remember wrongly!”
“Didn’t General Wei die in battle?”
“I heard he’s not dead.”
More and more people recognized Wei Xu. Both sides of the street were packed.
A bold young man stood on his tiptoes and asked, “Are you General Wei Xu?”
Wei Xu said, “I am.”
It was really General Wei!
General Wei had returned alive!
A young man said as if he knew everything, “That’s Eldest Young Master Wei! Behind him are Second Young Master Wei, Sixth Young Master Wei, and
Seventh Young Master Wei!”
His companion asked, “How do you know?”
The young man said excitedly, “I know their armor! I was there when the top scholar of the Seventh Young Master Wei paraded the streets. I was also there when he went to war! I know him!”
“That’s right, it’s Second Young Master Wei!”
Someone recognized Wei Qing.
His appearance had not changed much, but the accumulation of time made him look more dignified and reserved.
There were tattoos on Ghostfear’s face, and his aura had changed greatly. The once handsome, upright, and kind Young Master Wei now had a sharp killing intent.
Before Wei Liulang entered the city, he took off his mask, revealing his faintly scarred face.
The Sixth Young Master, who had once been famous in the capital and was like a jade immortal, had been in many women’s thoughts. When they saw him again, he was already unrecognizable.
“His arm… his arm..
An old man looked at the prosthetic limb exposed under the armor plate of Wei Liulang’s armor and suddenly couldn’t help but cry.
The commoners along the street were all speechless. Many people’s eyes turned red and they wiped their tears with their sleeves.
When they went to war, he was also a child.
The old man walked towards them shakily.
Worried that he would hit the old man, Wei Xu stopped the horse with his sons.
The old man touched them one by one with trembling hands and choked. “It’s good that you’re back… It’s good that you’re back…”
In a teahouse, Xiao Duye was drinking tea with his advisor.
Suddenly, he saw everyone running out of the teahouse and couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?”
The accompanying guard said, “I’ll go take a look!”
The guard left the teahouse and saw Wei Xu and the others riding over through the crowd.
His first reaction was that he was seeing things.
When he heard the crowd shout for General Wei, he hurriedly returned to the room and stammered, “Your… Your Highness, General Wei Xu is back!”
Before he could say that there were still a few young masters of the Wei family, Xiao Duye walked out with a suspicious expression.
He pushed his way through the crowd and out onto the wide long street.
It was clearly crowded on both sides, but there was no one on the streets. All the commoners spontaneously guarded the way home for the Wei family.
Xiao Duye looked at Wei Xu in a daze, then at Wei Chen and the others behind Wei xu.
His eyes widened instantly.
How… how was this… possible?
The royal prince was in front of him. Logically speaking, he had to bow and greet him.
Wei Xu did not even get off his horse. He said neither servile nor overbearing, “I’m wearing armor and I don’t kneel to the world; forgive me for not being able to give Your Highness a full bow.”
Xiao Duye opened his mouth as he was shocked speechless.
Wei Xu rode his horse and rode past Xiao Duye with his son as if no one was around.
It was not until they were far away that Xiao Duye suddenly came back to his senses.
When Wei Xu returned to the capital, the dead Wei family’s sons had also come back to life.
What was going on?
Also, did they not get off the horse and bow just now?
He was a prince!
What did the Wei family want to do?
Did they still have any regard for the royal family?
The Wei family left arrogantly. Xiao Duye gritted his teeth in anger. “Return to the palace! I want to report it to Father!”
At the Imperial Palace, Emperor Jing Xuan had just returned from the court.
Today’s morning court was another pile of memorials to impeach Qin Canglan. They said that Qin Canglan was belligerent and overeager for success. It was said that he raised troops and ruined the country; he should be deposed as the general of the world’s troops and immediately be recalled to the Imperial Court.
Naturally, there were also people who absolved Qin Canglan. They said that Qin Canglan was doing this for the 100 years of prosperity of the Great Zhou. Northern Yan was ambitious. If the Great Zhou did not beat them until they cried for their parents, they would make a comeback.
Emperor Jing Xuan was not in a hurry to deal with Qin Canglan. Anyway, he had cut off Qin Canglan’s rations. Qin Canglan would one day humble himself and beg him for rations.
What he cared about the most now was Wei Xu.
The envoy who had gone to the Southern Wilderness had returned, and his second son had returned to the capital.
His second son had suffered a lot and was still recuperating in the residence.
However, according to his second son and the envoys, they had not seen Wei Xu in the Southern Wilderness, nor had they heard any news about him.
So was Wei Xu alive or dead?
If the Great Zhou was attacked from both sides, he naturally hoped that Wei Xu could survive.
But now, there was no advantage to him if Wei Xu lived. Instead, he would become a threat to him.
He would not kill Wei Xu. After all, killing a hero would leave a bad reputation for ten thousand years.
Therefore, he could only hope that Wei Xu would die at the hands of the Southern Wilderness.
“Your Majesty!”
A young eunuch hurriedly came to the Imperial Study. “The city guard sent news that the Wei family is back!”
Emperor Jing Xuan said, “Wei Ting?”
The young eunuch said, “There’s, there’s Wei Xu!”
Emperor Jing Xuan paused. “Is he alive… or dead?”
The young eunuch said nervously, “Alive! Alive! Not only did General Wei Xu return, but even Eldest Young Master Wei, Second Young Master Wei… and Sixth Young Master Wei… returned alive!! !” Click.
The brush in Emperor Jing Xuan’s hand fell..
