Chapter 1029: Chapter 234: Irresistible Charm

Upon hearing that the Emperor was critically ill, Pei Qin’s eyes sharpened, "The Emperor was fine, how could he suddenly become critically ill?" She suspected someone had tampered.

Shi Su’s eyes reddened, "Wa Ci penetrated the borders, forcing the Emperor to hunt in the south. By then, the Emperor was already in poor health, having vomited blood several times. Later, he even took to the field himself, experiencing great joy, sorrow, and anxiety... When the General arrived, the Emperor was just enduring it, always hiding it from those below. General, please hurry back to the capital!"

Considering the situation in Capital Jingcheng, Pei Qin feared that a storm was brewing. She stared at Shi Su for a while, took a deep breath, and strode forward, "Someone give the orders! Break camp and reorganize the troops, we return to the Imperial Court immediately!"

Several deputy generals immediately responded and went to relay the orders and prepare.

Fortunately, they had already anticipated the Imperial decree, preparing to aid in the battle at Liaodong, always ready to mobilize the army at a moment’s notice, requiring little preparation.

As for the surrendered chaotic troops who unwillingly shouted to fight against the Rong Clan, Pei Qin followed the Imperial decree, tying up captives and a few small leaders while integrating the rest into the main army.

"General!" Jun Suxue had packed her belongings and came to find her.

Pei Qin glanced at her, the remaining chaotic troops’ families and their own family frowned, "I’ll have someone take you to Daxing first!"

Jun Suxue felt a pang in her heart and looked at her puzzledly, "General... Aren’t we returning to the capital?" Even if she was to be placed outside, there was no need to send her so far away.

Seeing her about to cry, Pei Qin rolled her eyes at her, "My home is in Daxing, this is my younger brother, you go with them first, I need to enter the capital, I can’t take you with me!"

In an instant, heaven and hell, that was the feeling he gave. Jun Suxue felt both annoyed and couldn’t help but feel joy, blushing, "Sorry..." She had misunderstood that he didn’t want her anymore, thinking he was sending her away.

As someone called for the General, Pei Qin instructed them quickly and went over.

Fang Liuyang, frowning as he glanced at Jun Suxue, said, "Cousin! Take her with you! I want to follow the General!" Why would his cousin take this woman to Daxing? And yet he was to go back to Daxing with his cousin but wasn’t allowed to follow her.

Chang Yonglin thought so too, but having followed Pei Qin for years, he naturally understood her expressions; trouble was likely brewing in the capital, and Sister Qin did not want them to follow to protect them.

"Don’t trouble the General!" Xiao Yong coldly dropped a line and went to find Pei Qin. The Grandpa Emperor was probably in bad health, and both General An and Brother-in-law Qin were not in the capital, likely leading to chaos.

As Jun Suxue saw him heading towards Pei Qin, she looked at Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin, "You... Which of you is the General’s younger brother?" She only knew that Fang Liuyang was the General’s cousin. From his words, it was clear there was a real younger brother.

"We all are. Let’s go!" Pei Wendong urged, but couldn’t help worrying as he looked for Pei Qin.

As Jun Suxue examined Pei Wendong, who indeed resembled the General quite a bit, Chang Yonglin not so much, but his expressions were very similar, a flurry of emotions surged within her. All these were the General’s younger brothers, so she could inquire more about the General’s family matters. Winning their favor meant she wouldn’t be helpless at the General’s home, possibly oppressed by the real general’s wife.

Chang Yonglin and Pei Wendong, along with Fang Liuyang, led Jun Suxue and other family members and hurried toward Daxing with the army.

Pei Qin led the troops at a fast pace towards Capital Jingcheng, leaving them far behind.

Xiao Yong followed closely, also anxious about the situation in the capital.

With 70,000 chaotic troops subdued and a decisive victory achieved immediately, the people of Capital Jingcheng gained a deeper understanding of Deity General Pei Hansan, General Pei. Those families with eligible daughters started their calculations; even though Pei Hansan came from a humble background, whether under the Emperor or the upcoming New Emperor, such a meritorial general who invented mortars and Thunder Cannons would not fall out of favor. And in the future, Capital Jingcheng would witness the rise of a new noble house, the Pei family. Given his heroism in youth and survival through great adversity, his future was boundless.

When Pei Qin led the troops into the capital, Prince Heqing, Xiao Guangzhu, and Prince Yongle, Xiao Guangzhang, came out of the city to welcome them, showing the high regard of the Imperial Court.

Although the capital was tense, it did not stop people from coming out to see the previously unseen General Pei, the legendary deity general Pei Hansan, to see if he was as legendary as rumored.

Seeing Xiao Guangzhu and Xiao Guangzhang coming out to welcome her, the soldiers behind Pei Qin were excited first. Indeed, they were following Deity General Pei Hansan, and returning to the imperial court, they were even welcomed out of the city by two princes.
