In the evening, Luo Tianhe, who had already calmed down, walked out from his room. He had a smile on his face, as if there was some joyous occasion.
The two guards who had accompanied him during his many years of battle had never seen their general smile like this. They had never seen Luo Tianhe smile like this, not even when the barbarians were captured alive.
Luo Tianhe was sitting under a willow tree in the southeast corner of the garden, stroking the newly plucked branches. All the servants in the general's manor knew that this was the same person who had once belonged to Luo Tianhe and his wife. Back then, when Second Madam had repaired the garden and tried to dig up the willow tree, Luo Tianhe had found out that he had killed half of the servants who were preparing to make a move. Second Madam Fu, who was the instigator of this, had also been slapped in the face by Luo Tianhe, warning her that if she were to return home and discover that the willow tree was dead, she wouldn't have to live anymore. Everyone knew that Luo Tianhe's words were not because of anger. After all, he had killed for so many years in the battlefield, so he had the guts to do what he said.
"Lan Hua, Wei'er has really grown up. She's exactly the same as when I first met you." As Luo Tianhe thought of the sad past, he could not hold back the tears that welled up in his eyes.
"Chief General." Just as he was thinking about these things, a cold male voice came from behind him. That person was precisely the man who had threatened Luo Tianhe that if anything happened to him, he would use Luo Lingwei to accompany him in death.
"What a genius. Say it, what's the matter?" After Luo Tianhe turned around, his previously sorrowful expression disappeared, replaced by an ice-cold expression.
"General Han sent a letter saying that the scouts ahead of us discovered traces of the barbarian riders under the mountain peak the next day. General Han analyzed that the barbarians seemed to be planning something big in the near future." I would like to know how is your injury. If your body is fine, please return to the camp as soon as possible to discuss the countermeasures. " The strong man cupped his hands and said.
Luo Tianhe nodded his head, "Yes, this old man had also expected that they would come. In recent years, every spring, the barbarians would go south to graze and send troops to disturb the borders of the Profound Sky Continent. It seems that this year is no exception. "Sun Lin, get that person to reply to Han Feng saying that my injuries are all right now. I will be back in a few more days, so don't be impatient and be on guard. Don't send out troops so that we don't alert them."
After Sun Lin received the order, he turned around and quickly left the garden.
That night, Luo Tianhe ordered the kitchen to make a good meal and invited Ye Lianhe and Ye Feian to his house so that they could have a good reunion with his two son-in-law. When the two of them heard this, their reactions were vastly different. Ye Lianhe knew that it was Luo Lingwei and Luo Tianhe who had resolved the knot in their hearts, resuming their fates as father and daughter. He was overjoyed in his heart. Ye Feian, on the other hand, was extremely furious. Only through this matter did he find out that Luo Lingwei had such a high position in Luo Tianhe's heart. All these years, Luo Tianhe had ignored Luo Lingwei. Anyone would think that Luo Tianhe didn't like his daughter at all. But now, Luo Tianhe, this steel-blooded man who remained impassive even in the face of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, was actually cheering for Luo Lingwei's little show of goodwill.
Not long after, Ye Lianhe and his wife, Ye Feian, arrived at the general's manor. The two of them had prepared a gift. After all, in such an official occasion, even if they had already given a gift before, they could not come empty-handed today.
Luo Tianhe ordered his men to bring over a huge courtyard filled with the delicacies of mountains and seas. Just the cold dishes alone numbered seven or eight, and many of the rare and protective animal meat products from Luo Lingwei's world had also been placed on the table. Luo Lingwei had originally thought that she had already seen this after so many years of being an imperial concubine, but after seeing today's table, she had deeply underestimated the extravagant enjoyment of the nobility. At this moment, she was like a country bumpkin, looking at the myriad of dishes in front of her, she was actually at a loss as to where to start.
Ye Lianhe and Luo Tianhe had all seen this, and Ye Lianhe gave a light cough, reminding Luo Lingwei not to lose her composure. Luo Tianhe, on the other hand, saw how his daughter was at a loss for what to do with all this food, and immediately felt guilty. In all these years, he had only avoided the death of his beloved wife, not caring about her at all. This had caused this daughter of his, who should have been from a noble family with vast knowledge and experience, to become like this.
Thinking of this, Luo Tianhe couldn't help but sigh.
"General, why do you sigh?" Ye Lianhe knew what Luo Tianhe was thinking, but he still wanted to lead Luo Tianhe to say something. Luo Tianhe wasn't a fool. He immediately smiled and said, "Your highness, please excuse me. This old man is just thinking about the bitter cold. The soldiers can only enjoy the cold food while this old man enjoys it. I am truly ashamed."
"The general's heart is with his soldiers, and thus his soldiers are able to fight bravely against the enemy. No wonder they are invincible. For my Da Xuan to have such a heroic general is the greatest fortune of my Da Xuan! " Ye Feian, who was at the side, smiled as he poured a cup of wine for Luo Tianhe.
Luo Tianhe smiled as he shook his head, "Your highness praises me. Killing for the country is the duty of a soldier. This old man doesn't dare to accept it."
As Luo Tianhe spoke, he gave Luo Lingwei some food and added, "I have received the military report as early as possible. As the barbarians are getting restless recently, I will be leaving for camp in a few days. I haven't seen my daughter for many years, so I would like to ask you two princes to come with me today."
