Due to Yan Ye's resolute attitude, Xu Shiqiu didn't feel it appropriate for him to go see the Empress Hu now.

Furthermore, Yan Ye's worry was not wrong. Although he had ruined his appearance and he could not sit in that position, what if the Empress Hu found out that he was still alive?

Xu Shiqiu thought about it for a moment and finally put this matter down.

If Yan Ye was unwilling, he would not force him.

Tomorrow morning, Xu Shiqiu still needed to enter the palace, so Yan Ye and Elder Sun did not stay for long. Although Xu Shiqiu wanted to invite Elder Sun to his house, because he was not at home, and he did not know how the situation was at home, he did not speak up.

After Yan Ye brought the Elder Sun and left, Xu Shiqiu looked at their backs and sighed.

He really did not expect Yan Ye to be Ye Yan, and to have such a relationship with his own Yanzhu. If he really had that intention, then his family would really be in a difficult position.

One was his brother-in-law, the other was his son-in-law. Both of them were son-in-law of Xu Family.

Fortunately, Yan Ye didn't have this intention, he just wanted revenge.

When he thought about revenge, Xu Shiqiu once again thought about the mastermind behind the crown prince's accident that year, the Third Prince.

”Let's see how you will escape this time!” When Xu Shiqiu thought about the Third Prince that had harmed his Xu Family, he couldn't help but want to kill him right now.

If he didn't cause such a ruckus back then, his father wouldn't have met with such a situation.

Thinking about that, Xu Shiqiu suddenly stopped.

If nothing had happened to his father back then, then they wouldn't have gone to the Xiahe Village. Didn't that mean that he had never met the Young Girl before?

”There's really no way to explain it in detail.” After Xu Shiqiu muttered this sentence, he then thought about his enemy, the Third Prince.

Xu Shiqiu knew that since the Emperor Ruikang was old, he had to take care of his more and more, so he could not be anxious to take revenge.

Fortunately, Yan Ye had been discovered this time, so Xu Shiqiu was in a very good mood. With him, his brother-in-law, and Yan Ye helping out, Ye Jingche would not be able to live this time.

Although he had thought about many things the night before, Xu Shiqiu still woke up very early the next day.

The corners of Xu Shiqiu's mouth curled up when he thought of how he would be able to return home after entering the palace today.

Ye Shuo, Xu Yanhao and the others could more or less guess what Xu Shiqiu was thinking. They knew that he was happy that he was going home.

In fact, they were very happy too. Although they had been training in the outskirts of the capital and had left home for a period of time, it wasn't like this time they were going to kill someone.

This was the first time they had killed someone with their own hands, and with this experience, all of their auras were different than before.

Thinking of the things that they could bring home this time, the four of them laughed in tacit understanding. As they were Xu Shiqiu's personal guards, the things that they were given were much better than the others.

After thinking happily for a while, the four of them followed Xu Shiqiu and got on the horse. The four of them split up into two, and the two of them rode beside Xu Shiqiu on their horses to the capital city.

Xu Shiqiu did not bring many people with him to the capital. The soldiers of Iron Eagle Brigade had to pick one out, adding Xu Yanhao, Ye Shuo and some of the descendants of the ministers, the number of people did not exceed one hundred and fifty.

This number was all planned out by Xu Shiqiu, and was just enough to let the people of the capital see the imposing manner of his subordinates, and not let the Emperor Ruikang feel that he was too daring, to actually bring troops into the capital.

Furthermore, Xu Shiqiu had brought all the descendants of ministers with him. Although everyone's performance was good, with their good origins, a good father or a good grandfather, their future path was destined to be easier than other soldiers.

Xu Shiqiu also wanted to be fair, but in this kind of environment, with his brother-in-law's early hints, this was the only thing he could do.

However, Xu Shiqiu was fair to his subordinates who went out to exterminate the bandits this time.

The contribution record for the extermination of the bandit was currently in Liu Ze's hands, he had handed all of these matters to Xu Shiqiu, he had done well, although his strength was not as good as Ye Shuo's, Xu Yanhao's and the rest's, but he had done all of these meticulously.

Xu Shiqiu and the others entered the capital from the west gate, and were very close to the palace. They only followed Emperor Ruikang's orders, and hoped that Xu Shiqiu would bring his outstanding soldiers to walk around the city.

Xu Shiqiu understood what the Emperor Ruikang meant. The Iron Eagle Brigade under his hands looked different from that of an ordinary soldier's, it was just that the heirs of the officials of the imperial court who did not have any Iron Eagle Brigade were more outstanding than the ordinary soldiers in the outskirts of the capital after his training. Furthermore, he had killed the horse bandits who had annoyed the imperial government for many years.
