147 Report Back to the Camp (1/2)

Yang Yun has been away from the Capital City from almost two weeks before he chose to return. During the few days, he had stayed around the place where his wife, Mingyue, had vanished and hoped that he could find some clues on how she went missing.

As he spent a few days in the mountain, Yang Yun thought a lot about Mingyue. The moment where her hand slipped away from his replayed on his mind. Yang Yun would often wake up in the middle of the night as he dreamt about that moment. He could not stop blaming himself for letting her go.

However, he knew that nothing would change if he decided to live his life in agony. After a few days of self-reflection, Yang Yun had decided that he will not give up to find Mingyue and bring her back home. It doesn't matter whether if he had to spend a lifetime to look for her. To search for Mingyue, he will need ways to gather more information. If he wanted to do that, there was no better way then to return to the army.

After he had made his decision, Yang Yun returned to the Capital City before two weeks passed.

When he arrived, Yang Yun did not return immediately to Yang's residence but went straight to the army camp to find Jiang Xiao Xian. Fei Liu was the one who received Yang Yun. However, instead of meeting Jiang Xiao Xian as he plan, Fei Liu informed Yang Yun that the young general was not around and will not be in the camp for a few days.

After knowing Fei Liu years, Yang Yun could detect that something was going on with the Jiang's family. Once Yang Yun stepped outside the camp, he went to find a few of his comrade to find out matters regarding the Jiang's family. In the end, Yang Yun could not find anything else.

Yang Yun walked out of the camp and went straight to Jiang's residence.

The Jiang's steward immediately greeted Yang Yun and announced that other than both his mother-in-law and his sister-in-law went away for a trip a few days. Only the male members of the Jiang family was present. Yang Yun asked to meet Jiang Xiao Xian and was then escorted inside a hall.

After a few minutes of waiting, Jiang Xiao Xian showed up.

”General,” Yang Yun stood up and greeted the young general.

Jiang Xiao Xian watched Yang Yun with a questioning gaze. ”Why are you here?”

Yang Yun did not answer the general's question immediately. ”I heard that both the mother and the young madame were out of the city. Did something happened?”

The young general heaved a long sigh. He motioned for Yang Yun to sit down before he did the same. ”It has been a while since my wife gave birth. Mother thought it would be a good idea for them to visit the in-law.”

Although Yang Yun did not believe his brother-in-law's words, he did not pursue the matter. Jiang Xiao Xian must have hidden some issues from him for a reason. Yang Yun then went back to the reason he came to find the young general. ”General Jiang, tell me what can I do to be back on duty.”

Jiang Xiao Xian gave Yang Yun a look over. He then recalled that the second brother, Jiang Xiao Tian, told him how he met with Yang Yun during his mission to escort Prince Lu Wei back to Qian Rong. According to him, Yang Yun had played a significant role in helping Jiang Xiao Tian to rescue the Prince.

”You think you're ready to come back to the squad?” the young general asked.
