I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

There seemed to be a long discussion in the imperial study. Prince Anyang and General Xu came out together and saw two people waiting at the door.

Prince Anyang's serious face was covered with a hint of smile, "You two are back, is there any good news?"

Jiang Huai nodded silently.

Prince Anyang patted General Xu on the shoulder and said, "Go and prepare first. I will listen to what is happening in the south."

"Okay." General Xu didn't say much. He nodded to the two young men with a heavy face and strode away.

"Let's go." Prince Anyang just came out and turned around and went back.

The emperor held his forehead with his hand, looking worried.

Hearing the noise and seeing the three people coming in, his expression softened a little, "I actually forgot about you two. Sit down."

He sat down without even bothering to perform the greetings, which showed that the emperor was in a bad mood.

"Well, I asked you two to come back because I wanted to ask in person about the progress of the Black River Weir."

Jiang Huai stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, according to the original design, in order to better solve the siltation problem of the Heihe River, a four-six diversion river channel was built.

The river channel is too wide, and the work of clearing silt has been completed more smoothly than expected. The excavation of the diversion channel is also progressing smoothly, and it may be put into use during this year's flood season.

In this way, there should be no flood disaster in Heihe this year."

After saying that, Jiang Huai took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor.

Prince Anyang's expression also relaxed a little. He looked at Lu Chuan, who smiled and nodded at him, indicating that Jiang Huai was right.

"Finally, there is good news. You two are tired from the journey, so you should rest in the capital for a few days. After discussing with the ministers in the morning court, if you have any questions or difficulties, please raise them so that we can learn from each other."

"Yes, I accept the order."

The emperor and Prince Anyang asked some more details and discussed until it was getting dark before letting the two of them leave the palace.

On the way, King Anyang also briefly told the two of them about what happened in the Eastern Territory, including the incident where the Fang father and son were kidnapped.

Back at Jiang's house, Brother Liu at the door saw Jiang Huai getting off the carriage and shouted happily inside, "The eldest master is back."

He came forward with a big smile on his face, waiting for Jiang Huai to get off the carriage, "Young Master, you are here. The whole family has been counting the days, staring at the intersection every day."

Jiang Huai had been away for more than half a year, and when he came back to face such a warm family, he was a little bit uncomfortable.

After entering the door and taking a few steps, I saw two little girls running towards the door with their heads down, followed by Aunt Juan.

In the letter that Jiang Yuan wrote to him, he told about the situation at home. He knew that the Jiang Mansion was raided, Jiang Zhou was sentenced to death by beheading, and Jiang Hao was exiled. He knew everything.

The two little sisters were running at full speed just now, but when they saw someone, they shrank their necks, not daring to come forward, and timidly called out, "Big brother."

"Eldest son."

"How's going, Auntie." Jiang Huai bowed to Auntie Juan with a warm smile and called his two younger sisters to come forward.

Before in the Jiang Mansion, he was not familiar with Aunt Juan and these two sisters. Later he learned that when Jiang Yuan left the mansion, the younger sister stuffed silver into her pocket.

It has always been Aunt Juan who has helped to keep an eye on the Jiang family's every move, and I am grateful to her in my heart.

"You've grown taller and prettier." He said to his aunt while rubbing the heads of his two younger sisters.

Aunt Juan looked at the child with eyes full of maternal love, "How naughty, I prepared some food. I don't know when the eldest master will be back, but it should be about the same time.

Just wash up first, it will be done soon."

"Thank you for your help, Auntie."

Back in her own courtyard, Chunzhi stared at the servant sweeping the yard, "Young Master."

"Chunzhi, A Yuan said in the letter that you have become the head housekeeper." Jiang Huai couldn't help but teasing Chunzhi when he saw her directing the servants to work with ease.

Chunzhi lowered her head and said, “Sir, you are joking. It’s Sister Zhishu, I am just following you to learn.

The hot water is ready, please take a bath first, and the room has been cleaned."

After saying that, Chunzhi called a few maids and left the yard, leaving only a few servants.

The next day, Jiang Huai went to the Marquis' Mansion to visit the Princess. After all, it was the Princess who had been taking care of Jiang Yuan for such a long time, and now that he was back, he should visit her.

He also brought some small gifts for the eldest princess and Qu Ying and Qu Ran.

Qu Ying has not returned from the school at Lord Wu's house yet. Qu Ran is also very familiar with Jiang Huai, especially now, she is more familiar with Jiang Mu and Jiang Lin.

The eldest princess also asked about things in the south and was very happy to know that everything was going well there.

Xue Yangling knew that Jiang Huai had returned, so he called him, Lu Chuan, and Zhou Qian'an who happened to be in the capital, and the four of them went to Tianxiang Tower for dinner.

Xue Yangling said that his father asked Jiang Huai to come to his house for a chat if he had time. The university scholar liked this intelligent and polite top scholar very much.

For several days, Jiang Huai was busier in the capital than in the south.

He finally had some free time, and just then the emperor summoned him to the palace. He thought he was going back to the south.

But Jiang Huai walked out of the palace with a confused look on his face and met Lu Chuan who was waiting for him at the palace gate.

"Brother Zichang, what does the emperor want to see you about?" Lu Chuan couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Huai looked at him, also confused, "Why are you here?"

Lu Chuan scratched his head. "The emperor also summoned me to the palace, saying that Xie Yunxiao and Jiang Yuan were not there, and now was the acceptance of the training of the three major camps in the capital, so he asked me to go to the Flying Tiger Camp."

Jiang Huai said, "The emperor said that the Secretariat's History Museum is temporarily short of a history book scribe, so he asked me to go there for a few days."

The two were inexplicably assigned inexplicable tasks. Their official positions remained unchanged, but they were only seconded to other departments to help. This made the two very puzzled.

Whenever they requested to see His Majesty again, they were turned away. Helplessly, the two of them could only accept their errands. With many questions in their minds, one went to watch the military training, and the other went to copy books.

East

Outside the tent, Xie Yunxiao shouted inside, "Two generals, can I come in?"

The two who had just exchanged medicine with each other rolled their eyes helplessly and said, "Come in."

Qu Jin frowned and whispered in Jiang Yuan's ear, "Why is he becoming more and more slick now?"

Jiang Yuan pinched his brows and said, "I regret it."

Xie Yunxiao bared his big white teeth and laughed foolishly, "What are you regretting?"

"Is there something?" Qu Jin glanced at him unhappily. To be honest, it was a bit annoying after looking at him for a long time.

Xie Yunxiao put away his smile and said seriously, "Oh, the Marquis wants you two to come over. Let's discuss the tactics for the general attack."

Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up and they rushed out of the house.

"You two, wait for me." Xie Yunxiao chased after them, jogging all the way to the commander's tent.

Several deputy generals from the East Territory were all there. Seeing the three of them, Qu Hou coughed lightly and said, "Okay, we're all here."

As he said this, he walked to the sand table.

“We are separated from the Great Jin by this Bluestone Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles and separates us from this vast desert. If we want to avoid suffering from war, we must seize Bluestone Mountain.

This time the enemy's forces have been depleted too much, and several deputy generals and even the main general have been injured. This is the best opportunity.

The emperor has already sent troops stationed in the northeast, and they arrived two days ago.

The total number of troops currently stands at 200,000. Except for General Zhou, General Xu and General Xue, everyone else can fight.

I thought that while they were still unable to recover, I could seize Qingshi Mountain in one fell swoop and establish a garrison defense line, which would protect the Great Youdong Territory and ensure peace of mind for a hundred years."
