”Reporting to your majesty, the military newspaper has arrived today,” Zong An stood several meters away and reported with his sharp voice to the The Great Qi Nation Emperor who was playing with her beloved concubine in the layers of bed tents.

The concubine's laughter continued to resound from within the bed, enticing the young emperor with great interest. The tall and big back of the emperor paused for a moment, then impatiently berated: ”What are you sent here for? ”Just throw it in the imperial study. Don't mention it here in the future.”

The The Great Qi Nation's reports were similar day by day, year by year, in the eyes of the Emperor, it was not much new.

”But …” Zong An hesitated, he considered for a moment, then decided to weigh the pros and cons, ”Your majesty, today's battle report was personally sent by General Si.”

The Great General, who should have been outside the northwest gate, had actually silently returned to the capital.

He hurriedly got off the bed as he asked, and the palace maids who were standing by the side instantly rushed over, combing their hair, dressing, and changing their shoes. The emperor's arms were spread wide open as he allowed them to do as they pleased. He then opened his mouth in both shock and anger, ”General Si returned to the capital in such a quiet manner. Does he even put us in his eyes?!”

”Please calm your anger, your majesty,” Zong An hurriedly bowed and advised, his face was full of helplessness when facing the easily angered emperor, ”The general is currently waiting for you.”

There was no need to look at the results of the battle. Ignoring the series of good reports, there was no need to talk about how strong the The Great Qi Nation was to deal with the Northern barbarians. Furthermore, there was Si Yuan personally leading the troops.

However, there was no need for them to start a war for the sake of something that they needed to hurry up and rob. If not for the rumors that spread among the people when the barbarians invaded the border in the beginning, and if the people did not say that the capital might fall into the hands of the barbarians, he would not have sent Si Yuan to lead the troops to destroy the enemy in order to pacify the people. This time though, it was not a big deal, but now it had become a big achievement for Si Yuan.

The emperor was dressed neatly, and even though he was extremely unwilling, he still had to angrily walk out of his bedroom. He walked quickly for around fifteen minutes before he remembered to turn around and ask the old eunuch who was following him with much difficulty, ”Zong An, where is he now?”

”The General Si just said that he would be waiting for you in the imperial study, Your Majesty,” Zong An's face was flushed red from anger, but he did not have the time to care.

In this cold weather, his forehead was still dripping with sweat. Although he was complaining in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face at all.

Not only did he return to the capital without permission, he even decided where I would call him.

The emperor was not happy with Si Yuan's impudent actions, but there was nothing he could do about it at the moment. Since Si Yuan was a great general who had maintained the peace at the border, he could only pretend to be a noble and happy person.

It was fine that he did not make a single mistake, but Si Yuan's achievements were getting thicker and thicker every day. Despite the stability of the frontier, the prosperity of the nation, and the prosperity of the people, the young emperor was still worried.

”My beloved one is risking her life for our nation, your hard work is great,” the emperor welcomed Si Yuan with a smile on his face and supported him weakly.
