2225"That"s right... field officer Ao, what"s wrong, is it very strange? " The messenger was startled, wondering why Ao Han was so shocked.
Ao Han"s face changed, smiling gently: "Oh …" "It"s nothing, I"m just happy for the marquis. Now I"m more at ease."
"Oh yes, Madam Hou"s illness has really recovered? Wasn"t it pretty serious before? " Ao Han asked curiously.
"Hey! I"ve already said it"s a heart attack, but a heart attack requires careful treatment!
Now that the young duke had returned, he"d even miraculously broken through to the fifth claw, the Golden Dragon Realm!
When Madam Hou saw her son, how could she not recover from such a pleasant surprise?
Commander Ao, do you know how rare the five-clawed Golden Dragon Bloodline is in the family of the Divine Dragon?!
Not one in a million! Nearly a hundred years ago, a single person had awakened General Feng Qinglan!
Xuanyuan City, you can even count one hand right now! "
The messenger"s face was filled with emotion and admiration. "Who would"ve thought that the young duke that others had looked down upon before has now become the Divine Dragon Family"s most sought after person! They really gave our northern army commander face! "
Ao Han smiled, narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Yes... What a blessing... It"s so good that the marquis" wife can recover and mother and son can reunite … "
As he said that, Ao Han patted the soldier on the shoulder, "Thanks, brother. I will lead our team over there now …"
General"s Estate.
After the group of officers was finished with their censors, they left one after the other.
Ye Huangtu asked his a.s.sistant, "How many people are left?"
"Reporting to the Marquis, there are also some officers from Liu Cui, Zhang Yu, Ao Han and Chen Tonghe.
"They are on a mission. Once they come back, we will inform them …"
Ye Huang Tu nodded and turned to Ji Su Xin, "Madam, why did you send so many men?"
Ji Su Xin glared and said exasperatedly: "So many? So many people had yet to find Fan"er, and Fan"er was at the borders of the Wilderness.
So many people couldn"t find a single person, but you, the Marquis of Zhenbei, still have the face to say so? "
Ye Huang Tu looked embarra.s.sed, but he still looked at Ye Fan suspiciously, "You little rascal, where in the Wilderness did you go to find medicinal herbs?"
Along the way, Ye Fan was familiar with many markets and tribal lands in the Wilderness. Thus, he casually reported a few of them to Beiming City, which was not too far away.
Hearing Ye Fan"s words, Ye Huang Tu couldn"t find any weak points. He could only snort, "You"re lucky this time. If you meet a bandit amongst the barbarians, you won"t even know how you died!"
"Father, Big Brother"s Five Clawed Golden Dragon. Those barbarian bandits shouldn"t be able to do anything to Big Brother, right?" Ye Hang couldn"t help to mutter.
"If I were to awaken my bloodline purely because of my lack of cultivation realm, how powerful would I be?" Ye Huang Tu lectured.
Ji Su Xin was unhappy, "You, your son, came back well and found the ingredients for the formula. That is my son"s skill!
As your father, you didn"t help in any way and yet you dare to teach your son a lesson here?
"Aiyah... "Madam, this yard will go back to one yard …" Ye Huang was in a bit of a panic.
Right at this moment, a high-ranking officer walked in with a dozen soldiers. It was Ao Han"s group.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!" Congratulations, your Lordship. Your ladyship has recovered from a family reunion! " Ao Han"s face was filled with gratification and joy, his eyes filled with sincerity.
"Hmm …" Ye Huangtu nodded with a smile, "How arrogant. Have the bandits of the Emerald Martial Palace been wiped out?"
"Reporting to the duke, it has been cleared. There are no escaped fish left. All thirty-seven bandits are to be executed!"
"It"s a pity that the families that were ma.s.sacred and their belongings cannot be found back." Ao Han had a face full of regret and sadness.
"Nothing can be perfect. I"ve avenged them, and that counts as an explanation."
Ye Huang said, "Let me record a third rank merit for you two …"
"Thank you, Master Hou!" Gu Han led his team and shouted.
Ye Huang Tu stared at him and asked, "Ao Han, when you saw Madam earlier, she asked you to bring someone to find my son. Did you notice anything special?"
Ao Han looked puzzled, "Something special? "What exactly does the marquis mean?"
"Oh, we suspect that someone was secretly interfering with the cause of my wife"s illness, and that they wanted to investigate it in detail.
"You don"t need to think too much. If you sense anything abnormal, just say so." Ye Huang said.
Ao Han recalled carefully before turning around to look at his underlings. Everyone shook their heads.
"Reporting to the Marquis, Ao Han did not discover anything, maybe …" "I can"t help you." Ao Han said apologetically.
"Heh heh... "It"s fine, I"m just asking."
Ye Huangtu continued, "You have done a great job recently. Although it is not enough for you to return to the Imperial City, you are still a pillar of the Academy.
Princ.i.p.al Kong vouch for you that I plan to specifically allow you to return to the Imperial City to partic.i.p.ate in next month"s" Sacred Royal Examinations".
Once we enter the Sacred Royal Academy, the imperial family will be very generous to us.
Upon hearing that, Ao Han immediately burst into tears, "The Princ.i.p.al, he …. Ao Han would definitely not disappoint the Princ.i.p.al and Master Hou! "Thank you, Master Hou!"
"Um... "Let"s go down," Ye Huangtu waved his hand.
After Ao Han and his group left, Ye Hang curled his lips and muttered, "This Ao Han feels weird. Didn"t they say he was the son of Heaven"s Mandate? Why is he not arrogant at all?"
"Foolish brat, do you really have to be arrogant? "After all, he was born a commoner. No matter how talented he is, if he were to be targeted by others, wouldn"t that be courting death?"
Ji Susu laughed out loud and said, "I think that this kid, Ao Han, is pretty good. It"s not like Dean Kong would be wrong to choose a disciple."
Ye Huang Tu stood up and turned around to look at Ye Fan, "Brat, come with me to the study room."
Ye Fan was just thinking about what to do when he heard this and nodded his head.
Seeing that the father and son were about to leave, Ji Su Xin hurriedly reminded them, "Ye Huang Tu! You"re not allowed to hit your son in secret! "
Ye Huangtu smiled bitterly, "My lady, since when have I really beaten him …" There"s something I need to talk to him about.
"Hang"er, accompany your mother to eat something. After all, your vitality has been greatly damaged in the past few days, so you should make up for it."
With that, the father and son duo entered the study.
Closing the door, Ye Huangtu calmly walked to the side of the tea table and poured himself a cup of tea. Then he poured a cup for Ye Fan as well.
"You sure are good at deceiving people, kid." Ye Huangtu said casually.
Ye Fan was stunned, "How did I lie?"
"I have long since sent people to carefully search the places you mentioned that are the gathering places of the Wilderness."
"The scouts of our northern army are no fools. It"s impossible for them to not be able to find you even after a month …"
Ye Huangtu gave a faint smile, "Do you really think of me as your father? Is it as easy to be fooled as your mother?"
Ye Fan sat to the side, picked up his teacup and took a sip, "Where I went, is it any matter? Anyway, it"s good as long as I come back …" It"s just that I feel sorry for my mother, causing her to suffer. "
"Hmph, at least you have some conscience …" Ye Huang Tu grinned and changed the topic. His eyes lit up as he said, "You... "What do you think about that arrogant fellow?"
