The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

The next morning, the marching team was ready to set off.

Hua Wujing looked at Hua Wuke, who was dressed as a man, and felt a little uneasy.

"Sui Sui, otherwise I will separate from the Hua family army and let me take you back to Beijing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Wujing felt a gust of wind coming from behind his head.

He immediately lowered his head and dodged, just avoiding the slap that Hua Rongyu was swinging at him.

Seeing that he had missed the target, Hua Rongyu became even angrier.

He stared at Hua Wujing and scolded:

"You little brat, you're always thinking of bad ideas! You're a junior general of the Hua family, but you're not in the team returning to Beijing. How can this be disgraceful?"

Hua Wujing also knew that Hua Rongyu's rebuke was not without reason, he was just a little worried about Hua Wuke.

Scratching his head in annoyance, Hua Wujing looked at Ye Buhuo with a fierce look in his eyes, baring his teeth and threateningly said:

"You must send Sui Sui to the Hua family unharmed! Otherwise, even if you are a prince, our Hua family will not let you go!"

Ye Buhuo was, after all, His Royal Highness Prince An. Seeing his son being so ignorant of etiquette, Hua Rongyu attacked him with another palm.

This time, Hua Wujing dodged and moved to the other side of Hua Zhukong.

Fortunately, Ye Buhuo did not feel offended. He nodded solemnly to Hua Zhukong and the other two:

"Please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Sui Sui."

Hua Wu Ke also spoke at the right time:

"Don't worry, brother. I'm not some weak woman who can't even lift a chicken."

"See you in the capital!"

Seeing that the time of parting had come, Hua Rongyu gave a few more instructions, then rode his horse and stood in the team.

It was already late, Hua Zhukong said to Hua Wuke and the others:

"Be careful along the way, and you two should set off quickly."

Seeing that Hua Wu Ke was about to turn around and leave, Hua Wu Jing ran out of the team again.

He took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and put it into Hua Wu Ke's hand.

"If someone makes you unhappy,"

Having said that, he glanced at Ye Buhuo and continued:

"You can travel by yourself, eat and drink well, and when you get home, I will take care of the situation for you!"

Knowing that his brother would not feel at ease if he did not accept the banknote, Hua Wu Ke did not refuse and kept the banknote carefully.

"Brother, have a safe journey too."

Hua Wujing nodded, touched Hua Wuke's head, jumped on his horse and returned to the team.

The Hua family army began to advance in a mighty force, and Ye Buhuo and his companions also led the Xuantie army towards Anyang City.

In order to reach Anyang City as quickly as possible, no one stopped to rest along the way. When they were hungry, they ate dry food. Finally, they arrived at Anyang City in the evening.

From a distance, one could see Acting City Lord Zuo Yunqing and the officials of Anyang City waiting at the city gate.

Seeing the flag of the Black Iron Army approaching, a group of people quickly stepped forward, walked in front of Ye Buhuo's horse, and said in unison:

"I pay my respects to the City Lord! Congratulations to the City Lord on his triumphant return!"

Ye Buhuo nodded, then turned back and whispered to Hua Wuke:

"Are you tired Sui Sui? Do you want to follow Zuo Yunqing and the others and take a shortcut back home first?"

When Ye Buhuo leads his army into the city, he will inevitably have to accept the welcome from the people. He may not be able to return to the City Lord's Mansion for a while.

Zuo Yunqing still had to go back to the City Lord's Mansion to prepare for the banquet, so naturally he had to take a shortcut back first.

But this was the first time Hua Wu Ke saw Ye Buhuo return in such glory. Before, when she was in the capital, her eyes were always focused on the Hua family army.

So this time Hua Wuke wanted to accompany Ye Buhuo into the city.

She shook her head and said:

"I'm not tired. I want to be with you."

Ye Buhuo hummed softly, his expression didn't change much, but Hua Wuke looked at Ye Buhuo's eyes which had become softer, and she knew that Ye Buhuo was still happy in his heart.

The mighty army entered from Dakai Army. The people of Anyang City all knew that their city lord, King An, the god of war of the Night Kingdom, had led the Black Iron Army and the Hua Family Army to defeat the Northern Kingdom. So when the people of Anyang City knew that the Black Iron Army was returning to the city today, they all came spontaneously to greet them.

Hua Wu Ke disguised himself as an follower and followed Ye Buhuo on horseback.

Listening to the enthusiastic cheers from both sides of the street, Hua Wu Ke looked at Ye Buhuo's tall and straight back as he rode on horseback, his dark clothes making him look even more stern.

For the first time, she felt at such close range how much Ye Buhuo was loved by the people as a god of war, and her heartbeat slowly quickened along with the people's enthusiasm.

Many soldiers in the Xuantie Army were from Anyang City. Seeing that they were almost at the Anyang City Lord's Mansion, Ye Buhuo ordered them to disband on the spot so that these soldiers could return home and reunite with their families.

With a dismissal, many soldiers began to walk into the crowd, and then they saw elderly people, young women or young children around them.

As the sky became increasingly redder due to the setting sun, Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke finally stepped into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

After entering the mansion, Ye Buhuo took Hua Wuke through several corridors, crossed a courtyard gate, and led her into an independent small building.

Inside the building, Zuo Yunqing had already instructed the servants to prepare tea. After a day of marching, Hua Wuke was indeed a little thirsty.

She sat down on the chair with a little effort, took the warm tea beside her and put it into her mouth.

After finishing the tea in her hand, Hua Wu Ke suddenly felt tired. She closed her eyes slightly and muttered:

"I want to rest."

Hearing this, Ye Buhuo walked behind her and pressed her temples, while instructing the servants to bring the food to the small hall.

"I haven't had any proper food all day. I had dinner and went to bed."

Hua Wu Ke just wanted to sleep and didn't want to eat at this moment. She curled her lips downwards and said unhappily:

"I just want to sleep now. I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry... Gurgle~"

He wanted to say that he was not hungry and it was okay not to eat, but before he could finish his words, his stomach growled twice as if to oppose him.

Ye Buhuo moved his hand from her temple to her neck to relieve her fatigue, and said softly:

"Zuo Yunqing knew you would come, so he wrote to Ye Yi to learn about your eating habits. Try the dishes he selected to see if they suit your taste."

It just so happened that several maids had already placed the food on the small table. Hua Wu Ke opened her eyes and took a look. They were indeed her favorite flavors.

Ye Buhuo returned to the table, took the mountain flower honey and yam soup placed in front of her, scooped half a spoonful with a spoon, blew it cool, and then brought it to Hua Wu Ke's mouth.

Smelling the faint sweet aroma of the yam soup, Hua Wu Ke felt an appetite. He opened his mouth and put it in. His teeth were instantly filled with the fragrance of mountain flowers.

After swallowing, there is a light honey sweetness lingering on the tip of the tongue.

Hua Wu Ke felt that the hunger that she had just ignored suddenly became a little unbearable. She took the yam soup from Ye Buhuo, savored it mouthful by mouthful, and had some side dishes from time to time.
