Yang Yi raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
"General Zhang is right! I'm using this method to make armor made of steel!”
Zhang Xutuo's eyes lit up, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his rough face.
"General Zhang, are you here for this secret steel-making technique?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.”
Zhang Xutuo smiled bitterly. His weathered face had a complicated expression." I'm not here for the smelting method. I'm here for the steel armor!”
He sighed and said,"If my Great Sui Army were to wear these fine armors, they would definitely be invincible!"”
"General Zhang, don't worry. The armor I made will definitely be used by the army as soon as possible." Yang Yi said in a deep voice.”
Zhang Xutuo revealed a complicated expression.
The army that was truly capable of fighting in the Great Sui Dynasty did not have excellent equipment, while those who defended Chang 'an and Luoyang were all well-equipped.
He cupped his hands at Yang Yi and said," Your Highness is a righteous person. You have worked so hard for the Great Sui Dynasty. Now, the Great Sui Dynasty needs people like you!"”
This famous general looked a little tired.
It was difficult for him to support the tottering Great Sui by himself.
"General Zhang, don't worry. Although the Great Sui has rebellions everywhere, I'm not afraid of them. However, with the horseshoes and the iron-smelting method, they would definitely be able to quickly suppress those rebels!”
"I wonder how the situation is now?" he asked.”
Zhang Xutuo restrained his emotions. He had been a little agitated just now, so he said in a deep voice,"Your Highness, after the uprising of Changbai's regent, countless people responded. Liu Badao of Pingyuan, Sun Anzu of Zhangnan, Gao Shida, and others all rebelled! Although this general had defeated the Wang Book many times, he had not died and had been tossed around Dengzhou and other places!”
" There were even more cases last year!" he said with an intimidating gaze. Now our Great Sui is full of beacon fires, but the officials in the court turn a blind eye! They're all people who eat nothing!"
Zhang Xutuo had a straightforward personality and his words were filled with anger.
Ignoring the fact that the Crown Prince was beside him, he started to reprimand these officials.
After a while.
Zhang Xutuo suppressed his emotions and smiled bitterly."I've lost my composure! Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"I've always admired a loyal man like General Zhang!" Yang Yi said in a deep voice. If the imperial court had more people like General Zhang, why would they worry about the world not being peaceful?”
Yang Yi's words shocked Zhang Xutuo. He had always been loyal to the Great Sui! Now that he had received the Crown Prince's approval, Zhang Xutuo was moved beyond words.
Zhang Xutuo bowed deeply." Your Highness, you flatter me!" I am only loyal to my duty!"
"General Zhang, you don't have to be too modest. I am the commander of the army, so I will not let the situation worsen!" Yang Yi said in a deep voice.”
.........
Gao Manor.
Outside the residence.
A carriage slowly came to a stop.
"Master, we're here." The driver said respectfully.
There was some movement in the carriage.
The carriage curtain was lifted.
A middle-aged man with a thin face and a weathered look in his eyes walked out.
He was dressed in casual clothes and had a tall and straight figure. Although he was quite old, his temperament was like a pine tree, giving people a sense of indomitable spirit.
The moment this person appeared at the entrance of the Gao Manor…
The servants in the Gao residence immediately panicked.
Not long after.
Xianyu hurriedly walked out. She pulled back the hem of her dress and looked at the man in the distance with a pleasantly surprised expression." Husband…"
A smile appeared on Gao Shilian's weathered face." Madam…"
He had traveled all the way back from Lingnan and was tired from the journey. It was inevitable that he was a little tired.
Inside the residence.
Xianyu looked at her husband with extreme excitement.
After Gao Shilian was demoted to Lingnan, he had little contact with his family.
Now that she had finally returned home, the emotions in Xianyu's heart were indescribable.
Gao Shilian looked at his wife and said,""Where's Mother?"
"Mother is still in her room. I've already sent someone to inform her."”
Gao Shilian pondered for a moment." Where's the Guanyin maid?”
"I've already sent a servant girl to call her," Xianyu shi pursed her lips and said.
As soon as she finished speaking.
Zhangsun Wugou appeared at the door. Her fair and pretty face was also filled with surprise." Uncle!”
She walked up to Gao Shilian and bowed respectfully." Uncle…"
Gao Shilian had a complicated look in his eyes. He knew that the reason he was able to be transferred back from Lingnan was because his niece was about to become the Crown Princess!
"Guanyin Maid, what kind of person is this Crown Prince?" he asked with a sigh.”
Gao Shilian didn't want his niece to sacrifice her marriage because of him.
However, now that what was done was done, it was useless even if he objected.
Even the Emperor was prepared to bestow a marriage, how could he go against the Emperor?
Zhangsun Wugou didn't know what his uncle was thinking and was suddenly asked about Yang Yi.
Her fair skin was flushed red, and she was at a loss.
She stammered,"Your Highness…" Your Highness is a very good person."
Zhangsun Wugou's expression entered Gao Shilian's eyes.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. It was no longer important whether Zhangsun Wugou answered or not.
If he still couldn't tell that his niece had feelings for the Crown Prince, then he would have wasted so many years in the officialdom.
He pondered and said,"So..." Uncle also hopes that you can find a good home.”
Zhangsun Wugou calmed down. She pursed her lips and said,"Uncle, big brother is also working in the Eastern Palace!”
Gao Shilian nodded." It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed an extraordinary person. I will go to the palace in a few days to meet His Majesty and set your marriage!”
Zhangsun Wugou's pretty face heated up, and a hint of shyness appeared in her pitch-black eyes.
