Chapter 91: Prince Han's inspection has a different reason

Chapter 91: Prince Han's inspection has a different reason
Going downstream, in just one day, Hanzhong City appeared before Pei Zisu's eyes.

Compared with the grandeur and splendor of Xijing City, Hanzhong City appears to be much more simple, but this simplicity is based on a solid inner foundation. In addition, Hanzhong is the core of the garrison of the Southern Army, so it adds a bit of solemnity.

He stood in front of the boat with his hands behind his back, and soon saw someone waiting on the shore. It was Yue Sheng, an attendant who had followed Pei Zisu since childhood. He was steady but alert, and the horse he was holding was Pei Zisu's warhorse, Xunfeng.

The horse's mane fluttered, it neighed loudly, and all four hooves were restless. Yue Sheng patted its back and spoke soothingly.

"Don't worry, the Major General will be here soon."

Seeing Xunfeng's look, Pei Zisu also showed a ostentatious smile, then stepped hard on the deck, used the force to step on the water and flew quickly towards the shore.

Third cousin Wang Hong also wanted to learn it, but his martial arts skills were not that good, so he could only wait for the boat to dock.

Seeing his master galloping towards him, Xunfeng could no longer hold himself back, and with a long neigh he rushed towards Pei Zisu. When the man and the horse met, Pei Zisu reached out and touched the mane on Xunfeng's forehead, then chuckled and said something.

"Miss me?"

Xunfeng cannot speak, but the way its hooves pace back and forth is enough to prove its affection for Pei Zisu. Pei Zisu picked it from Di Rong's horse herd a few years ago. It was very unruly at that time. Not only did it injure more than a dozen horse trainers, but even Pei Ziyao was defeated by it.

Finally, Pei Zisu released it into the wild, and fought with it for two whole days before taming it.

From then on, following Pei Zisu, he was always successful and always charged to the front of the battle without any fear!

The man and the horse were getting along very intimately when their third cousin Wang Hong also came ashore from behind. After taking the reins of his warhorse from Yue Sheng's hand, he could not help but make a teasing remark.

"Chiyue, why don't you seem so enthusiastic towards me?"

Chiyue got its name because of the half-moon on its mane. It is one of the most famous horses in Dirong, but its temperament is rather cold. It cannot "wag its tail" to its owner like Swift Wind does.

Seeing this, Yue Sheng also smiled and then added a sentence.

"Don't be sad, cousin. Actually, after hearing the news that you were coming back, Chiyue couldn't stay at home any longer. It's just that it's not good at expressing itself."

Hearing this, Chiyue kicked his feet down, as if threatening Yue Sheng not to talk nonsense!
Wang Hong smiled and touched his familiar warhorse. Chiyue gave him a look, as if he didn't care. Pei Zisu on the side had already climbed onto the horse. Xunfeng was already quite excited and couldn't wait to run a few laps to stretch his muscles.

"Let's go back to the barracks first. Is father in the army?"

"Replying to the young general, the old commander is not in the army. Tomorrow is Aunt An's birthday, so he returned home two days ago."

When Pei Zisu heard the words "Aunt An", his expression was no longer as cheerful as before, and his eyes showed some impatience, but even his mother didn't want to argue, so even if he was dissatisfied, he didn't have any suitable opportunity to speak.

"Never mind him, let's go back to the army first."

"Yes! Major General."

After several people mounted their horses, they headed towards the area ten miles away where the Pei family army was stationed. They were all well-rested war horses, and their running speed was not comparable to that of ordinary horses, so it didn't take long for the three of them to arrive outside the military camp.

Pei Zisu has been away for two months.

Everything in the army was the same as before, but when the soldiers guarding the camp saw him return, they showed a lot of excitement and shouted loudly.

"The Major General is back! The Major General is back!"

After this voice, Ge Huzi, who was originally patrolling the camps, quickly ran towards the door. He was about thirty years old and was originally a fierce general. Because he always had a thick beard all year round, people in the army always called him by a nickname.

Over time, even the new soldiers privately called him Ge Huzi. He was generous and cheerful, and didn't mind at all. "Hahaha, Old Ge greets the Major General. You're finally back!"

"Thank you for your hard work. Is everything going well in the army?"

"Don't worry, young general. The old commander has been reviving the army during your absence. He left with peace of mind only after the eldest lady returned. I don't know if you have returned today but the eldest lady has already taken people to Mu'ao Ridge and is practicing horse riding."

"Ah That's good."

"Where's General Fang Bao?"

Hearing this, Ge Huzi scratched his head and replied awkwardly.

"He said that everything he wanted to report to the young general had been written down and placed in your military tent. He was a little curious about what the young lady was going to do, so he followed her to Mu'ao Ridge."

Fang Bao was training the Jiangshui Camp, so why was he training with Pei Ziyao? Pei Zisu knew something was wrong when he heard this, so he raised his eyebrows and asked.

"to be frank!"

Ge Huzi knew that he could not hide the secret from his own major general, so he quickly "betrayed" his brother and told the story vividly.

"Yesterday, Prince Han sent someone to deliver a message saying that he would inspect the military camp in a few days, and this time he would bring the prince with him. You also know that Old Fang and the prince don't get along, so he ran away with the eldest girl."

Running off with the older girl, this just sounds funny.

Not to mention Pei Zisu, even Wang Hong and Yue Sheng behind him laughed out loud this time. General Fang Bao was very old, could be a grandfather, but he had a stubborn temper.

After witnessing the scene several years ago where the Prince of Han was frightened back two steps by the beating drums of the army, he would never let it happen again. Every time he heard that he was present, he would stay away from him, just to avoid seeing him and not be bothered by him!
Everyone present knew these things.

Pei Zisu asked as he walked quickly towards the military tent.

"When will Prince Han arrive?"

"They didn't say the exact time. They just sent a message saying it would be in the next few days. I guess they heard about the Major General supervising the repair of the dam on the Huai River, so they wanted to ask?"

Ge Huzi looks rough but has a delicate mind, so he is currently the most capable deputy general around Pei Zisu. Others such as Pei Ziyao, Pei Zimiao and Wang Hong are still young and need further training before they can be sent out to defend the city.

Once inside the military tent, everything was the same as before.

Pei Zisu didn't say a single extra word and quickly started reading the military newspapers that had been stored for the past few days. Yue Sheng was waiting beside them, and Wang Hong and Ge Huzi quietly retreated. After they walked a few dozen meters away, Ge Huzi took Wang Hong's hand and asked excitedly.

"I heard from the eldest girl that the young general is engaged?"

"Ah."

"Or is she your Wang family's cousin?"

"Ah."

"And the Major General is planning to go to Xijing City to be a live-in son-in-law?"

"Hmm... hm? Who told you that?"
