My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!
Chapter 533 - 349: Returning Home_2

Song Yiren smiled at the words, straightened her chest, glanced at Song Jiaren, and said, "Oh my, I don't know how, but as I was practicing, I just broke through..."

Jiaren gave her a glance without speaking.

Another figure walked over from afar, looked at Li Nuo, and asked, "Was this trip smooth?"

Li Nuo looked at Su Qing, nodded, and said, "Very smooth."

This journey to Zhao Country had achieved all the set goals, and even brought many additional gains.

The most important thing was that they had established a connection with the Empress. Even if the situation in Daxia were to change, their family would have a better alternative route.

Due to his mother-in-law's concern about potential dangers in a foreign country, Yiren was sent to accompany him.

But from beginning to end, no assassins appeared. Using it as an excuse, he and Yiren naturally grew closer.

Su Qing glanced at Yiren and gave Li Nuo a subtle look.

Li Nuo also nodded slightly in response.

Su Qing finally relaxed, looked at Yiren, and said, "Yiren, come here, let me see how much you've progressed these months, and Mumu, Ning'er, you come as well..."

After Yiren, Mumu, and Ning'er were taken away by his mother-in-law, there were only the three of them left.

Anning held Li Nuo's hand and said, "Come, let's go to the room..."

A moment later, in the room, Li Nuo's body trembled: "Hiss, you all..."

Jiaren's face reddened slightly, and Anning reached out her index finger towards him, saying, "Shh, this is your reward for not fooling around..."

After a long time, Li Nuo came out of the room.

Half a year had indeed been hard for a married man.

Fortunately, all the hard days were over, and a happy life was back.

Housekeeper Wu ran over joyfully from afar and said, "Young Master, you're back!"

Li Nuo smiled and asked, "How has the family been these months?"

Housekeeper Wu said, "Young Master, rest assured, everything is fine at home. The two female doctors have been taking good care of the Young Madam and Princess. The court is also stable; everything is just as it was before you left..."

In these six months, the situation in Zhao Country had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Emperor of Daxia's health had not yet deteriorated to the point of exhaustion, so the court remained stable.

From Housekeeper Wu, Li Nuo learned that while he was away, there were minor frictions between King Rui and King Gong, but no major conflicts. As for King Chun, due to his father's influence, no one dared provoke him.

Although the domestic situation in Daxia was stable, international tensions were high.

In these few months, Liang Country had completely sided with Wei Country.

Wei Country had stationed troops at the borders of Liang Country and Daxia, ostensibly to protect Liang Country, but their true intentions were obvious.

The people of Chang'an were all saying that a war between Daxia and Wei Country was imminent.

The court was divided into three factions on this matter. Officials led by the Left Prime Minister believed that once war broke out between the two dynasties, it would certainly bring devastation to both nations. With Daxia's national strength inferior to Wei Country, and the buffer of Liang Country, the damage to Daxia would be greater. The court should avoid war.

On the other hand, officials led by the Right Prime Minister believed that a war between Daxia and Wei Country was inevitable sooner or later. The court should prepare in advance, expand military reserves, and strike first if necessary to seize the initiative.

Both the pro-war and pro-peace factions had their reasons, while some officials remained neutral for the time being.

Li Nuo, busy with the Empress's matters for the past few months, knew nothing of this.

It turned out that just after he left at the beginning of the year, several murders occurred involving the Liang Country delegation.

These unsolved murder cases became the direct catalyst for Liang Country's defection to Wei Country.

If Li Nuo had left a few days later, these events might not have happened.

But then he thought, if he had left a few days later, the cases might have happened later as well.

He felt as if someone had deliberately sent him away this time.

His name was added to the mission by the Right Prime Minister, so was it all orchestrated by him?

Theoretically, that seemed unlikely. Li Nuo had attained Vast Qi, though only at the First Realm, and he understood Vast Qi well.

It was unimaginable that someone with Fifth Realm Vast Qi could commit treason, given the strong conviction required.

To put it bluntly, even if the Emperor himself betrayed Daxia, the Confucian Fifth Realm's Left and Right Prime Ministers would never betray Daxia.

Li Nuo shook his head, no longer pondering these matters.

In Zhao Country, he had the Empress behind him, a power that allowed him to call the shots alone.

In Daxia, without such deep backing, these national affairs were left to the great figures of the court to consider.

After returning home, he first went with Yiren to the Song Residence to visit Old Mrs. Song.

After having a meal with the Old Lady at the Song Residence, he wanted to chat with Song Yu for a bit but found out that he had already joined the army.

Despite failing the Imperial Examination twice, not passing even the first round, Song Yu was soon sent to the military by his uncle after Li Nuo's departure.

Born into a General's family, it was not difficult for him to pass military selection. If he couldn't be a civil servant, he could still serve as a Military Officer.

At a time when the external environment of Daxia was the worst it had been in hundreds of years, joining the army, though dangerous, also presented unparalleled opportunities not seen in centuries. Many children from general and famous families had already volunteered to enlist.

Before visiting his father at the Ministry of Justice, Li Nuo took a detour to the King Chun Mansion.

King Chun's kindness to them surpassed even that of the Empress, so naturally, he had to visit him first upon returning to Chang'an.
