The next morning, after breakfast, the army began to pack up and prepare to return to the capital. Because there was no need for heavy training this time, the army's marching speed was relatively fast. It only took 20 days to return to Bianjing City.

After returning to Bianjing City, Chu Yun and Hua Jieyu were immediately summoned by Emperor Zhao Zhen. In the Golden Hall, Emperor Zhao Zhen was sitting on the dragon throne. When Chu Yun and Hua Jieyu entered, they quickly knelt down and greeted,""Greetings, Emperor. Long live the Martial Emperor.”

"Beloved minister, rise!" Zhao Zhen raised his hand and said to Chu Yun and Hua Jieyu.

"Thank you, Emperor." The two of them quickly stood up.

At this moment, Zhao Zhen asked with concern,"My two beloved ministers, I have already received the good news from you. The bandits of Dongting Lake have been successfully exterminated. From now on, my Great Song Ziming will no longer be robbed by bandits on Dongting Lake.”

"Exterminating the rebels is our duty. We don't need any rewards.”Hua Jieyu quickly stood up and said.

"It's a blessing for the people of Great Song that Minister Hua Aiqing has such thoughts! However, you have to reward him for his meritorious service. How about this? Pass on my decree. Hua Jieyu, Yang Zongbao has made contributions to quelling the rebellion. He will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and 1,000 bolts of silk. Hua Jieyu will be granted the title of Third Rank Lady Dingguo, and Yang Zongbao will be granted the title of General of Flying Cavalry.”Zhao Zhen thought for a moment and said.

"Thank you, Emperor!" Hua Jieyu and Chu Yun quickly knelt down to thank Zhao Zhen. Then, the ministers presented a memorial. Everyone discussed it together. This was the first time Chu Yun had personally attended the morning court session!

After the morning court session was dismissed, Chu Yun and Hua Jieyu headed straight for the Skywave Prefecture. At that moment, their mother, Princess Chai, was standing in front of the manor door to welcome them back. Chu Yun saw Princess Chai and felt a long-lost longing, but he still walked over slowly. When Princess Chai saw Chu Yun, she said excitedly,""Zong Bao, look at you, you've lost weight these days. Life in the army must be bad!”

"It's nothing, Mother. I'm still very used to life in the military camp.”

"Yeah! Sixth Sister, Zong Bao is mingling with those soldiers in the military camp!”

"That's good. Zong Bao, tell mother about your plan to exterminate the bandits.”Princess Chai asked. Chu Yun then told her everything that had happened during the raider raid. Of course, he left out the part with Shui Ying. Hua Jieyu did not expose him.

When Princess Chai heard about the matter between Chu Yun and Hua Qianqian, she felt a little sour in her heart. However, she still smiled and said,"Zong Bao, when are you going to bring Qianqian back for your mother and grandmother to see? Mother can also find an auspicious day to hold your wedding! Speaking of which, Zong Bao, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to get married.”

"Mother, don't laugh at me. Qianqian is busy right now and can't come for the time being. When she's free, I'll bring her to Mother and Grandma!”Chu Yun suddenly said shyly. To be honest, he had not thought about marriage for the time being!

" Sixth Sister," Hua Jieyu suddenly asked," why haven't I seen the Grand Lord and the others? Even Eighth Sister is gone!"”

"Oh! Half a month ago, the border reported that the Liao army and the Northern Han army had gathered 300,000 troops and were preparing to attack our dynasty. Therefore, the matriarch and the others hurried back to the border. This time, the two countries 'allied forces were fierce, so other than me staying at home, the rest of the people followed the matriarch to the border. Even the eighth sister and the ninth sister followed.”Princess Chai said worriedly.

"What? The enemy is so fierce this time. Are Grandma and the others okay?”Chu Yun asked excitedly.

"According to their battle reports a few days ago, the 300,000-strong alliance army did not have any construction work. Instead, they were stationed 100 kilometers away from Xiangyang City. They seemed to be arranging some kind of formation. The Grand Lord and the others were not too sure, so they sent spies to investigate, but so far, the spies have not returned with any information.”Princess Chai told them all the news she had received over the past few days.

"Formation? Could it be the Heavenly Gate Formation?" Chu Yun muttered to himself. However, the Heavenly Gate Formation would take some time to set up, so they were still safe for the time being. It seemed that he had to find an excuse to go to the border to take a look.

As they spoke, they walked into the hall. Hua Jieyu told Princess Chai about the rewards the Emperor had given them. Then, the Emperor's rewards were delivered. After receiving the rewards, Princess Chai gave some money to send the eunuch away. Then, the three of them chatted for a while more, mainly about the military situation at the border. After the conversation, the three of them felt a little hungry. After eating, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Not long after Chu Yun returned to his room, there was a knock on the door. Chu Yun quickly walked over and opened the door. He saw his mother, Princess Chai, standing outside the door. Chu Yun was stunned for a moment before he quickly invited her in and asked,"Mother, why are you looking for me so late at night?”

"Zong Bao, have you subdued those bandits from Dongting Lake?”Princess Chai drank a cup of tea and went straight to the point.

"Mother, don't worry. I will do what you ask. Qianqian is the leader of the Dongting Lake bandits. She is my woman. She already knows my identity and is very supportive of me.”Chu Yun promised.

"Since Zong Bao has said so, Mother can rest assured. Oh right, when are you going to bring Qianqian back? Mother also wants to see what this woman who is worthy of my son's love looks like. Mother will leave first. You must be tired after a day, have a good rest!”After saying that, Princess Chai left Chu Yun's room, leaving him depressed.
