Changshan
In front of a thatched cottage
A man in white robes and a white Kai kowtowed to the thatched cottage."
"Master, my spear art has been cultivated to perfection. Yesterday, I heard that Du Yuan of the Heavenly Dragon Army of Bingzhou had returned from his expedition against the Xiongnu and had killed 100,000 bandits. This hero is a hero of the world, a hero of the country like Huo Qubing. I, Zhao Zilong, will definitely join him.”
After saying that, he mounted his white horse and headed down the mountain with the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Spear in one hand.

Passerby A:
"Do you know? Something big happened yesterday."
Passers-by B, C, D:
"What is it? Tell me quickly.”
Passerby A:
"Let me say this first. This news is absolutely shocking. You guys open the bill for the two pots of wine.”
Passers-by B, C, D:
"Alright, tell me."
Passerby A:
"Du Yuan's Heavenly Dragon Army returned from an expedition. It's said that they wiped out the Xiongnu army that invaded Jinyang City and killed the 100,000 Black Mountain Army that invaded Jinyang City.”
Passers-by B, C, D:
"Really? Didn't they say that they lost contact with the Heavenly Dragon Army two years ago?”
Passerby A:
"Of course it's true. I have a cousin who is in the Heavenly Dragon Army. He came back to visit his family yesterday.”
Passers-by B, C, D:
"If that's the case, then Du Yuan is a hero of the world!”
Passerby A:
"Not only is he a hero of the world, such a hero is comparable to Huo Qubing. He also said that when spring comes next year, if the country's mountains and rivers are safe, then we will attack Xianbei.”
Passerby A continued,"
"In addition, I also heard that the current emperor has already issued an edict to appoint Du Yuan as the governor of Bingzhou and reward him with a million silver.”
Passers-by B, C, D:
"Good, this meal was worth it. I didn't think that my Great Han would have such a hero.”
At this moment, Chen Gong, who was sitting at the side, lowered his bamboo hat and stood up.
"Du Yuan, in this world, only such a hero can make me, Chen Gongtai, submit to him.”
With that, he got on his horse and headed towards Jin Yang.
The next day, Jinyang City, the prefect's mansion.
At this moment, the official seal of the prefect had already been delivered, and there were still a million gold and silver.
Du Yuan looked at the things in the court and said,"
"This Dong Zhuo is really quick-witted."
He continued,
"Wen Yuan, take these things away. Also, order the county commanders of Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Shangjun to come here for a meeting.”
"In addition, send the head of Xiongnu Chanyu to Luoyang.”
Zhang Liao replied,
"Yes!"
Not long after, a soldier jogged into the hall of the prefect's manor and handed a letter to Du Yuan with both hands."
"My lord, there is a letter for you.”
Du Yuan took the letter from the soldier and said,"
"Alright, you may leave."
Du Yuan looked at the letter. There was a big Du character written on the front. On the other side, it was written:
Du Yuan knew that it was a letter from his family when he saw the big word " Du." He hurriedly opened it. It had been more than a year since he had received a letter from his family. He wondered how his parents were doing.
Ever since Du Yuan felt the beauty of kinship from Du Tianhao, he had a sense of yearning for his parents, who only existed in Du Yuan's memories in this life.
My son, Du Yuan, my father heard that you have returned from the Xiongnu battle and has come to congratulate you.
When you and Tianhao went to war, your mother and I moved from Jinyang to Dingyang. Don't worry.
.......
Autumn of 198 AD in Dukang
Unknowingly, Du Yuan had read it several times, and there were traces of tears in the corners of his eyes.
In Du Yuan's memory, he originally had a marriage. He was supposed to get married back then, but later on, Du Yuan was too stubborn and insisted on following his elder brother Du Tianhao to fight the Xiongnu. He even made a promise that 'as long as the Xiongnu were not destroyed, there would be no family.' Now, he did not know if the woman from back then had married.
After a moment of silence,
Du Yuan raised his brush
Father, mother, don't worry too much. I am the commander of the army. I have good food and clothing. I hope father can calm mother's emotions.
I'm unfilial. I can only go and visit my parents after I'm done with the matters here.
......
Under my knee, Du Yuan, autumn 198 AD
Du Yuan closed the letter after he wrote the word " Du ". In the end, he didn't ask about the girl.
Du Yuan sighed and said,
"She probably already has a child. Who would foolishly wait for someone who might already be dead?”
After a long time, Du Yuan shouted at the door,"
"Men."
After a while, a soldier came in and half-knelt, saying,"
"My lord!"
Du Yuan handed the letter forward and said,"
"Send this letter to the far shop in Bexining, Dingyang City."
"Yes!" The soldier took the letter and strode out of the hall of the prefect's mansion.
At this moment, in Lin County of Xihe Prefecture,
"Shui Yao, listen to your sister. Don't wait for Du Zihao.”
" We waited for three years. When we heard that they might have died under the Xiongnu cavalry, you cried your eyes out and said that you would not marry anyone but him. But now, he has returned and has become the prefect of Bingzhou. He is shining brightly, but you didn't look for him. Why are you doing this?”
Jiang Shuiqin stood beside the dressing table and said to Jiang Shuiyao, who was sitting in front of the dressing table,
After a while, seeing that Jiang Shuiyao didn't speak, Jiang Shuiqin continued,"
"Shui Yao, if you don't want to marry that Du Zihao, then you can marry that Wang Family's young master! The day before yesterday, the Wang Clan of Lin County sent a congratulatory gift. Your parents didn't reject it. They even talked for a long time with the steward of the Wang Clan in the central room. They talked and laughed. Your parents didn't tell you about this, right?”
Seeing that the expressionless Jiang Shuiyao had some expression on her face, Jiang Shuiqin continued,
"But don't blame your parents. You waited for three years, and your parents waited with you for three years. After all, our Chen family and the Du family had a good relationship before, but in recent years, the Du family's business has become more and more sluggish.”
"Although Du Yuan became the prefect of Bingzhou, there was another rumor that he went crazy killing people on the battlefield and became a living god of death. Father and Mother were also afraid that you would suffer after marrying him!”
At this time, Jiang Shuiyao, who had some expressions on her face, returned to her cold expression.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuiqin said with some sadness,"
"Shui Yao, I've told you what I need to say. I know you love Du Zihao. After all, your love story was well-known in Bingzhou, which made people envious. But now, my parents are old, and you're not young anymore.”
"There are more and more gossips about blind dates nowadays. I can't stand some of them anymore.”
"Alright, I'll stop here. The food is on the table for you. Remember to eat. Your body can't take it if you don't eat.”
After saying that, Jiang Shuiqin sighed and turned to walk out.
