I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Lin Yiran looked up at Xiao Yunzhan and nodded in appreciation.

"Your battle robe fits you well. You look like a general, very handsome."

Guangfeng City was indeed a wealthy city, which was why they occupied Guangfeng City. The next day, a merchant sent them this red family portrait battle robe.

That's really thoughtful and considerate. They even sent an embroiderer to do it. She can just make changes wherever it doesn't fit.

After Guangfeng City was stabilized, everyone in the Xiao family discussed and decided to wear battle robes to fight against Emperor Wu of Liang.

At this moment, everyone in the Xiao family was changing into their battle uniforms in the room.

Xiao Yunzhan's ears turned red, he lowered his eyes and smiled softly.

He looked at Lin Yiran's long hair that stood up high, tied only with red silk, which looked simple and neat.

But---it seems like something is missing.

Xiao Yunzhan stroked the green phoenix jade hairpin in his hand.

This is the pattern he drew himself, he chose good jade, and he polished it night after night to make the jade hairpin.

"You---hair--" Xiao Yunzhan stared at Lin Yiran's standing hair.

"What's wrong with my hair?" Lin Yiran raised her hand and touched the bun on top of her head.

"It's not tied properly, let me help you fix it."

Xiao Yunzhan made up his mind and mustered up the courage to say this.

He walked up to Lin Yiran and reached out to tidy up the silk ribbon on Lin Yiran's bun.

Lin Yiran looked at the chest blocking her eyes and listened to Xiao Yunzhan's heartbeat like a drum. Her heartbeat seemed to speed up as well.

When she raised her eyelids, she saw the protruding Adam's apple on Xiao Yunzhan's neck, and above that was his angular yet smooth face.

In the past few months, she seemed to have grown a lot taller, and her forehead was already at Xiao Yunzhan's chin.

Xiao Yunzhan noticed Lin Yiran's gaze on his Adam's apple, and his whole body trembled slightly unconsciously.

His hands, which were adjusting Lin Yiran's hairband, were shaking so badly that he could hardly hold the jade hairpin.

Xiao Yunzhan took a deep breath slowly, his throat rolled unconsciously, and he finally inserted the hairpin into Lin Yiran's bun.

Lin Yiran looked at Xiao Yunzhan's rolling Adam's apple and her cheeks blushed slightly.

This----why does it feel a little ambiguous?

"Of course, let me see you wearing..."

After changing into her battle robe, Old Madam Xiao rushed into Lin Yiran's yard like the wind.

"Oh---" Old Madam Xiao stepped into the yard briskly, and when she looked up she saw the young couple hugging each other.

Her eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth stretched to the back of her ears.

She came at the wrong time.

"Oh no, I forgot to comb my hair..."

As soon as Madam Xiao stepped into the yard, she turned around and disappeared at the gate in a flash.

When Lin Yiran heard Madam Xiao's voice and turned around, there was no Madam Xiao at the door.

Xiao Yunzhan quickly took a step back and looked towards the gate with a red face.

The living room suddenly fell into an eerie silence...

......

Golden Throne Hall--

"You bunch of losers!"

Emperor Wu of Liang stood on the throne and angrily cursed at the people in the Ministry of War.

"One hundred thousand soldiers were unable to trap the Xiao family traitors, and they were able to capture Guangfeng City."

"What use do I have for a bunch of you trash!!"

How could he not be anxious? The rebel had unexpectedly arrived right in front of him.

Didn’t they say they had just reached Dongmen City? Then how did Guangfeng City fall?

The army of 100,000 lost 70,000 soldiers without even fighting the rebels.

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at the group of ministers kneeling in the palace with a pair of fiery eyes, wishing he could drag them all down and chop them off.

Wu Feng, the elderly Minister of War, turned his head tremblingly and glanced at Bai Hong.

His gray beard trembled twice, he took a deep breath, kowtowed and said,

"Your Majesty, calm down. The rebels are about to attack the capital. We should make arrangements early and gather a large army to garrison the capital."

"With General Bai guarding the capital, I don't think the rebels will be able to break in."

Emperor Wu of Liang and all his ministers immediately turned their eyes to Bai Hong.

Bai Hong frowned and said quickly,

"That's easy for Minister Wu to say. How can I, a man half buried in the ground, fight against 300,000 rebels?"

"What's more, I was originally at odds with the Xiao family. If the Xiao family saw that I was the one guarding the capital, they would beat me to death."

"...General Bai, this is wrong." Wu Feng continued to speak.

"General Bai's reputation is feared by everyone in the army, and Xiao Yunzhan is no exception."

"There is no one available in the Ministry of War right now. Doesn't General Bai want to serve the Daliang Kingdom?"

By the time Wu Feng finished speaking, his inner clothes were already soaked.

He wanted to retire and return home last year, but his two sons disagreed, so his plan was delayed.

It's too late to regret...

Emperor Wu of Liang listened to Wu Feng's words and looked at Bai Hong with cold eyes.

Could it be that Bai Hong has colluded with the traitors of the Xiao family?

"If you don't know, you would think that Master Wu is my master."

Bai Hong glanced at Wu Feng from the corner of his eye and sneered in his heart.

He clasped his hands together and saluted Emperor Wu of Liang.

"Your Majesty knows my loyalty. Whether you need me to lead the troops or not, I will naturally follow Your Majesty's arrangements."

It is true that there is no one available in the Ministry of War, because the court has always looked down on military generals.

Wu Feng was so frightened by Bai Hong's outrageous words that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Before he could refute, Emperor Wu of Liang spoke first.

"Of course I believe in Lord Bai's loyalty."

Emperor Wu of Liang looked deeply at Bai Hong.

"I have already mobilized 200,000 troops from various places. Lord Bai will lead the 200,000 troops to destroy the traitorous Xiao family."

"The minister obeys the order!"

"In order to relieve Lord Bai from all worries, the family members of the Bai family will be brought into the palace immediately."

Emperor Wu of Liang stared at Bai Hong and said, "I will send someone to protect the family of Bai Mansion."

With the previous experience of the Xiao family, he felt uneasy if he didn't keep the generals' families under his control.

"....." Bai Hong had no expression on his face, and sneered in his heart, "Thank you for your care, Your Majesty."

Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Emperor Wu of Liang was afraid.

All the civil and military officials were stunned and turned their heads slightly to look at each other.

Anyone who can kneel in the Golden Palace to attend court must be a thousand-year-old fox. Emperor Wu of Liang’s thoughts should be too obvious.

At this moment, they were even more determined not to let their descendants follow the path of military generals.

Since ancient times, few military generals who were successful had a good ending.

After the court session, Yu Huaqian brought a group of guards and followed Bai Hong, heading towards the general's mansion in a mighty procession.

All the officials consciously moved to the sides of the road and watched Bai Hong and his group walk away.

The Minister of Revenue Chai Yuanyu looked up at the sky and sighed deeply in helplessness.

Emperor Wu of Liang's actions really chilled the hearts of his ministers.

There is no one in the court with a simpler population than Bai Hong’s mansion.

It is better to detain the person directly in the general's mansion than to bring him to the palace. At least he will feel more comfortable in his own mansion.

Look at what Emperor Wu of Liang did.

Daliang State---Danger!

Wu Feng finally walked out of the Golden Palace tremblingly.
