Three days later, Dongfang Hao returned to the Southern Marsh Country on time.

"Princess Rong, Dongfang Hao is back."

Hearing Ying Ying's voice, Shang Yiqing stood up from her room. To her, this news was really nothing. It meant that Dongfang Hao had informed Fang Zinan that his army would be back soon.

Ying Ying was really shocked when she saw Dongfang Hao. She almost didn't dare to believe her eyes because Dongfang Hao was exhausted all over and he was also wounded. When she saw this scene, she couldn't help but shed tears and support Dongfang Hao, asking, "Dongfang Hao, are you injured?"

"That's not important." Dongfang Hao smiled. His smile relaxed. When he saw Ying Ying again, he felt as if he had suddenly come to a realization. Luckily, King Xuan hadn't made a move, otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to think of the consequences. Staring quietly at Ying Ying, Dongfang Hao said in a gentle voice, "It's good to see that all of you are fine."

Shang Yiqing was also greatly surprised. Although she had long predicted that Dongfang Hao would definitely be hunted down by the King, she was still somewhat surprised to see Dongfang Hao in person. He quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over to Dongfang Hao. "Drink some water first."

Dongfang Hao didn't refuse. He took the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. Then, he wiped the tea stains on the corner of his mouth and said, "I've already sent the letter to Prince Rong. He'll be back soon."

"You've worked hard on this trip!" Shang Yiqing said sincerely. She didn't know whether to be moved or grateful. Although she didn't shed tears like Ying Ying, her eyes still reddened.

"What, what's wrong with all of you?" Dongfang Hao smiled gently, "Haven't I returned safely? You should be happy! "

"But you're injured …" Shang Yiqing swallowed her saliva and put on a smile, "It's all thanks to you this time!"

Dongfang Hao shook his head: "Is there a need to be polite with me? "Prince Rong sent troops to defeat the Grand Preceptor for our Empire of Dongyu and showed kindness to our entire Empire of Dongyu. By doing so, I was only trying to repay him with a little favor!"

Shang Yiqing disagreed, "That's different! "Although Fang Zinan brought troops to Dongyu Country, he still has the imperial edict with him. He did it with the imperial edict, but you are willing to sacrifice yourself for us. This is completely different!"

"It's all the same to me!" Dongfang Hao obviously didn't take this matter to heart. As long as it was something he was certain of, he would definitely do it. As a man, he would definitely repay kindness for himself, even if it wasn't for the people of Dongyu Country.

Shang Yiqing hurriedly poured Dongfang Hao another cup of water. "Sit down first and we'll talk."

Ying Ying hurriedly helped Dongfang Hao sit down. Dongfang Hao had been traveling nonstop for the past few days. He was indeed exhausted, but was there anything more reassuring than seeing Ying Ying safe and sound?

"My big brother, how is he?" Seeing that Dongfang Hao's complexion had somewhat recovered, Ying Ying couldn't help but ask.

"Good, General Xiao. I've met him before." Dongfang Hao came and went in a hurry and only met with Xiao Tianyuan once. In fact, they didn't have much to say to each other. Of course, as long as they saw Xiao Tianyuan, they would have a way to explain things to Ying Ying.

Ying Ying seemed to be relieved upon hearing this. She asked again, "Then what about Miss Nan?"

"I'm not sure either. When we returned to the Kingdom of Dongyu, I didn't see Miss Nan. However …" Dongfang Hao paused for a moment before he said, "I think she should still be in the military camp."

Ying Ying could not help but nod. "I'm relieved to know that my big brother and big brother Fang are fine." Are they really coming back soon? "

"After Prince Rong received the news, he immediately ordered the troops to leave the camp and return to the imperial capital. However, no matter how fast the army was moving, they would at least slow down a bit. They would arrive within three days." Dongfang Hao didn't even know that the Grand Preceptor had attacked again after he left. Fang Zinan and the rest had once again fought a tough battle, delaying their trip. Without these obstructions, they would have returned to the Southern Marsh very soon.

Fang Zinan really was coming back soon! Shang Yiqing didn't say anything but thought to herself. Although they had just returned from the Kingdom of Dongyu not long ago, they had never been separated like this before. On the contrary, they felt that the waiting was even longer than before, and the feeling of not experiencing life or death was not intense enough. It was just like her current mood, she felt that his heart was closer to Fang Zinan's.

Ying Ying glanced at Shang Yiqing's expression and knew that she was thinking about Fang Zinan. She wanted to make fun of her, but when she saw Dongfang Hao's current state, she couldn't help but laugh, so she held back his silence.

Shang Yiqing regained her composure and slowly raised her head, "With the help of the Qi King this time, we can hold King Xuan back as soon as Fang Zinan's army returns. He has always been evil, even his own brothers would dare to do so. Let's see if he still dares to act rashly this time."

"Princess Rong, that's not how you say it." Dongfang Hao sighed, "Right now, King Rong's army still hasn't returned. I really want to announce that King Rong will speed up the rebellion! I have been worrying about this the whole way here. Fortunately, he did not act quickly, but since he already knows that you have received the news, we have already alerted him.

"What?" Ying Ying's expression changed as she asked, "How can you be so sure?"

"If class teacher Rong Wang returns, this matter will definitely be reported to the imperial government. King Xuan has so many eyes and ears, he will definitely take action when he hears the news. I'm afraid the situation is not looking good!" Dongfang Hao thought very carefully. He felt that the reason King Xuan didn't act might be because the time was not right. However, if he got news of Fang Zinan's army, he would quickly launch a coup.

Shang Yiqing looked at the floating clouds in the sky, pursed her lips, and asked: "Then what do you think? "Right now, Fang Zinan's army hasn't come back yet, and we don't have any power. Do you think we should just sit here and do nothing?"

"Of course not!" Dongfang Hao stood up, "I want to inquire about Duke Xuan's mansion again."

"No way!" When she saw the wounds on Dongfang Hao's body, her heart ached. She didn't want him to take the risk again, not to mention that King Xuan had already decided to rebel. If Dongfang Hao went again, he would be in grave danger.

Shang Yiqing calmed herself down. It wasn't that she didn't know about the danger Dongfang Hao was going to face, or that she didn't know what Dongfang Hao meant by his words. However, if she didn't understand King Xuan's situation, then perhaps …

Seeing that Dongfang Hao didn't pay any attention to her, and seeing that Shang Yiqing seemed to be deep in thought, Ying Ying could only sigh. Although he hadn't spent much time with Dongfang Hao from the time they had known each other, but what Dongfang Hao had decided to do seemed to be something that couldn't be changed. Moreover, Dongfang Hao was an extremely loyal person, so he would definitely try his best to do what he had decided.

Dongfang Hao slowly turned his head to Ying Ying and said in a deep voice, "Ying Ying, you must know what I'm thinking, right?"

Ying Ying nodded and sighed. "Of course I know what you're thinking. I also know that even if I were to stop you, you wouldn't listen to me. Since that's the case, you can do whatever you want."

Dongfang Hao sighed. He really didn't know her for nothing. He felt that the softest and warmest part of his heart had been touched by her. He swallowed hard and couldn't say anything.
