Eulji Wende raised his face and looked to the sky. After a while, he was already in tears and shook his head helplessly.
Then he gave an extremely bitter smile.
"That kind of ordnance was also the reason why Liaodong City was destroyed."
"Brother Jin Xian, get up. It doesn't have to be like this. Now you and I are just prisoners of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty."
Eulji Wende turned his head, bowed respectfully to the Sui army general, and said solemnly.
"The Goguryeo minister surrendered to No Eulji Wende. He met the general of the state of Shangguo, and asked the general of the state of the state to grant permission to surrender the minister to see my majesty..."
"Of course there is no problem. Come, bring these three people back to the camp and report to General Meng quickly.
Tell him that the commander of Liaodong City and Goguryeo's great rival No Eulji Wende has surrendered."
"The general will obey his orders."
With the announcement of the surrender sent by the leader of Goguryeo, those Goguryeo soldiers and people who had been hiding came out of hiding.
They gathered together tremblingly, waiting uneasily for the Sui army's fate.
But fortunately, the surrendered ministers in bright clothes identified themselves, which finally made these prisoners of war feel much more at ease.
At this time, Yang Qian and his son, under the guidance of Li Yuan, entered a small house.
The Imperial Guards who followed behind and shouldered the surveillance mission were guarding outside the mansion.
At least, such a gesture is necessary until the suspicion of Yang Ning and his son is completely cleared.
"Dad, Uncle Yang, Brother Yang, why did you come back..."
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Ban Li rushed over, looking in the direction of the main hall with evil eyes.
"Why, are your mother angry again?"
"I don't know. It's the third sister and my mother who are chatting. The child really can't stay still, so he came out for some air."
"Your third sister is chatting with your mother..." Li Yuan couldn't help but feel dumbfounded when he thought of the strange way their mother and daughter got along.
#####
"Husband, you are back. My father-in-law and wise son-in-law are also here..."
When Mrs. Dou looked up, she saw Yang Ning and his son also walking into the house, and her dark face quickly broke out into a smile.
Li Xiuning, who was sitting next to Mrs. Dou, also stood up and saluted. However, a pair of apricot eyes fell on Yang Qian, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Yang Qian glanced at Li Xiuning, then secretly glanced at his mother-in-law.
Does that mean you're asking, are you okay?
Li Xiuning raised his chin, looking aloof and unruly. That meant, how could something happen?
Seeing the young lady's expression, Yang Qian didn't say anything except silently raising his thumbs to show his approval.
"My worthy brother and worthy son-in-law are temporarily staying in our house according to His Majesty's decree."
Li Yuan touched his nose and could only honestly explain to his wife.
Seeing Mr. Dou's puzzled look, Yang Ning smiled bitterly. "My uncle Han Shi'er got involved with Yang Xuangan and rebelled."
"They, they rebelled?" Mrs. Dou's eyes widened in disbelief, and she breathed out.
"Then, my dear son-in-law, what are you..."
"Neither my good brother nor my good son-in-law are involved in this matter, and Your Majesty also trusts them. However, before the matter is found out, you must have an attitude."
"However, Your Majesty was unwilling to send the virtuous brother and his son to prison for fear that they would be humiliated, so he handed them over to the custody of his husband."
"As long as they stay in the house and don't go out, it's fine."
"Isn't that equivalent to house arrest?" Ms. Dou frowned.
Seeing his mother-in-law's gloomy look, Yang Qian quickly explained.
"Mother-in-law, don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with me and my son. Your Majesty will give us and my son a clean slate."
"That's what I say, but do you know, my virtuous son-in-law, that your father and son have suddenly become prominent, although the military personnel have benefited a lot."
"I think they don't have any ill intentions towards you and your son, but it's hard to say for others.
These days, there are only a few people who send carbon in the snow, and those who add insult to injury are those who don’t know where to be.”
"Oh, how can this be good? Husband, you are talking?"
Li Yuan nodded numbly. "What you said makes sense, but can you let us sit down first before we talk?"
"I have been busy for so long today, and while Your Majesty is walking around, I don't even ask for a drink of water."
"It's my fault, please come in quickly and warm yourself up. It's really cold in Liaodong.
It's only the Mid-Autumn Festival, if we had waited until winter, I don't know how those people would have survived."
Mrs. Dou quickly got out of the way with a little embarrassment and called the servants to bring tea and water.
Finally, he sat down safely. A pot of charcoal fire was already lit in the hall. Yang Qian wanted to walk towards Li Xiuning.
When he saw his mother-in-law's eyes widened, Yang Qian could only touch his nose and move his butt towards his father.
What kind of mother-in-law is this? She is as guarded against her son-in-law as she is guarded against thieves, which really makes Yang Qian very unhappy.
Come on, let's not marry the young lady yet, then, haha... I, Feng Shen Jun Yi, Yang Xiaoqian, can sit wherever he wants, lie down wherever he wants, tsk tsk...
The thought of it made Yang Qian so happy that he almost cried out with joy. Seeing this, Mrs. Dou was filled with doubts and turned around to look at her daughter.
Li Xiuning felt her mother's gaze and raised her chin, "You can't see me."
"..." Mr. Dou's face turned dark. But he was too embarrassed to blush in front of his father-in-law, so he could only sigh deeply.
#####
After hearing Li Yuan's statement and the explanations from Yang Ning and his son, Mrs. Dou breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that at least His Majesty has not been carried away by anger."
"In other words, the contributions of you and your father-in-law are too great.
It's so big that even His Majesty can't easily deal with you..."
"You, father and son, have made so many contributions to the Sui Dynasty. The name of your father and son is known throughout the world."
"If you are punished for a serious crime just because Han Shi'e is your relative... Haha."
Seeing Mrs. Dou smiling so wisely, the three bosses were all a little confused.
"In any of the powerful families in Guanzhong, it's not that you have me among you, but you have me among you.
Mutual marriage for more than a hundred years has already become a trend that affects the whole body."
"What's more, Yang Xuangan inherited the shadow of his father Yang Su. And Yang Su is a towering ancient tree with deep roots in our dynasty."
"If Your Majesty really involves too much, how can the foundation of the Sui Dynasty be stable?"
After hearing Mrs. Dou's explanation, Li Yuan stroked his short beard and shook his chin. "My lady, you really hit the nail on the head."
"My mother-in-law is really amazing. I finally understand the key here." Yang Ning also smiled and praised her mother-in-law.
Yang Qian nodded, then shook his head and sighed.
"Having said that, our Majesty is not an ordinary person."
"With our Majesty's nature, he only asks about his own preferences and does not ask about the reasons when doing things. It is really difficult to predict."
