Zhou Leqi was full of vexation, "I shouldn't have let you go, but your big brother's body was disappointing. Big brother truly apologizes to you. "

"Living in the military is always like this. Big brother, you don't have to blame yourself." At first, I was so weak that I couldn't even hold my spear, but now, even the so-called 'General Chang Sheng', Ji Mu, was killed by me. It's a pity that I made Ji Xing run away, otherwise I would have definitely been able to avenge my father! '

When she spoke to the point of being excited, she waved her hand and pulled at her wound. She grimaced in pain, her facial features scrunched together, her skin pitch black, and her cheeks chapped. This was a weathered face, and it was difficult for people to look at it directly.

Zhou Leping stayed at home to rest for a few days. During this time, Zhou Lean had secretly visited her, but he did not dare face her directly. He did not know whether it was out of fear for her face, or because he had not seen her for a long time, but he did not dare recognize her.

Although the emperor didn't send anyone to urge her, the news of Great General Yun returning to the capital to report had already spread like wildfire since the day she arrived.

She had been recuperating at home for a few days. Although Zhu Guanliang had come to check on her wounds, saying that her wounds showed signs of festering, she was unavoidably accused of using her military merits to show off. As soon as she could get off the ground, she immediately requested for someone to enter the palace.

The Emperor didn't urge her because he wanted her to rest and recover, but he didn't expect her to recover so quickly.

The emperor was in a good mood today, so he didn't notice the empress's expression instantly falling as she forced a smile.

The empress knew the reason why the emperor was happy. Since her husband had returned, she still returned victorious. After intruding into the State Of Zhao for many years, she was defeated by Zhou Leping in the end.

The morning assembly must have been very lively today.

In actuality, before the emperor even arrived, the main hall was already in an uproar. Some people came forward to speak to her while others discussed in private, but the contents couldn't escape her years of meritorious military exploits and her face.

The whispers at the side, which could not be considered as private conversations, were clearly heard by Zhou Leping. Helplessly, she got angry, as a woman is a general, she was never able to escape being criticized.

"The Zhou Family two children, her big brother Zhou Leqi and little sister Zhou Lean both have good skins. Four years ago, I personally saw the general, and at that time, he was also like a flower blooming in water. Why haven't I seen him for four years, and he has actually become .."

One bold guess, "Isn't it poison? Otherwise, your face... How did it become like this!? "

Another person reminded them in a low voice, "Keep your voices down. If she hears you .."

Seemingly to support his words, Zhou Leping shook her armor and cleared her throat. Her movements were big, as if she was clearly telling everyone that she was listening, and that it was best for her to keep her words to herself.

After a while, they stopped talking.

Zhou Leping was not very good at handling complex relationships between empires. This was the first time he was returning to the capital since becoming an official. He was a dignified second rank official, but he did not even have a single colleague he was familiar with.

Her wound was dull and painful, and this time the injury was more severe. She was sweating profusely after standing for a while, and she did not care much about her appearance. She stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

Someone came up and greeted her with a salute. She cupped her fist in return and the two met eyes. The latter quickly looked away after seeing her appearance and said a few polite words before returning to the group.

The man's voice came from behind him, "The general was born with a scowl, leading soldiers to war. He didn't need to do anything, just standing there was enough to scare off the enemy."

A burst of unbridled laughter came from behind him.

Zhou Leping clenched her fists tightly, she had wanted to go over and teach him a lesson, but thinking about her brother's warning, he asked her not to act rashly. She had just returned to the capital, it was not good for her to show off, so people would say that she was using her military merits to bully people.

Forget it. I'll stay here for a while. I'll have plenty of opportunities to vent my anger in the future.

She pretended not to hear anything as she anxiously waited for the Emperor to arrive. Unknowingly, she was already sweating profusely.

She felt like a pot of hot oil had been boiled inside, waiting to be put in. This kind of waiting was the most torturous.

When she joined the army and went to the border of the kingdom, she had only heard the news of the death of the Old Emperor in less than two months, and then,, the crown prince, ascended the throne. At that time, Zhao Shiqian was indecisive, and when she ascended the throne, she received letters from him every so often, and the two of them had been writing for almost a year.

The contents of the letter were warm greetings and exhortations. Life in the army was very boring, and in order to see his letters frequently, she fought even more desperately. Every time the news of victory reached the capital, she felt that she was even closer to him.
