Chapter 139: Can't Stay Long

The two then had a brief conversation, and Zong Yanli also learned in detail about the current situation in the court from Wei Songhe. When their mother came to call them for dinner, the two got up and went out.

Zong Yanyin's questions were much simpler, such as whether he ate well, slept well, whether he had seen his father, how his second uncle's injury was, etc...

Zong Yanli answered very calmly one by one, and then he learned that his father had found time to come back twice in the past two years. Although he did not stay for too long, at least he went home to visit.

"Brother, will you stay for a few more days this time?" Zong Yanyin asked Zong Yanli expectantly.

"I'm afraid we can't stay here for long." Zong Yanli was silent for a moment and then said, "The battle with Qing Kingdom is not over yet. We can't let Qing Kingdom have a chance to catch its breath. Perhaps the next battle will be much longer."

In fact, Zong Yanyin knew the answer when she asked the question, but when she really heard Zong Yanli say it, her face was still full of disappointment.

Zong Yanli said quickly: "In two years, when the war here is settled, you can come back."

Zong Yanyin forced a smile and responded. Han next to her enthusiastically asked Wen Nian to eat more. Han was familiar with Wen Nian. She had also met Wen Nian's father once. She felt very distressed about the terrible thing that had happened to Wen Nian's family.

Later I learned that Wen Nian joined the army and followed Zong Yanli, and now he has grown into such a heroic and handsome man.

"Is A Li taking good care of himself in the army?" Han asked Wen Nian indirectly about Zong Yanli's situation, for fear that Zong Yanli might be injured or encounter something without telling them.

"General, everything is fine." Wen Nian is not a talkative person, and naturally he is not good at dealing with such things. He held it in for a long time before saying only one sentence.

The meal was very warm and Zong Yanli was pulled by Zong Yanyin to hold the child.

Zong Yanli lifted the baby up by the collar as if he was a little animal, staring at Wei Shiyan with a slightly frown.

Wei Songhe, who was standing next to her, felt anxious when he saw his daughter being treated like this. He half stretched out his hand to catch her and looked at Zong Yanli, who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Unexpectedly, the baby did not cry but giggled after being treated like this by Zong Yanli. This scared Zong Yanli so much that he hurriedly returned the child to Zong Yanyin. He was really afraid that she would play with the baby to death at such a young age.

Zong Yanyin and Wei Songhe stayed at the Zong Yan mansion today.

Wen Nian's room was arranged next to Zong Yanli's yard, which was quite convenient.

The next day, Zong Yanli got up early for morning exercises, and Wen Nian followed him quite skillfully and practiced with him in the yard.

When Han brought over the breakfast, she stopped at the gate of the courtyard and watched for a long time. Looking at Zong Yanli who was practicing martial arts with a sword facing the early sun, she seemed to have reunited with the young Zong Yanli. Han tightened her hand holding the food tray slightly, her eyes full of heartache and guilt.

"Mother." Zong Yanli caught a glimpse of Han standing at the gate of the courtyard. He put away his knife, stood still, turned sideways and handed the knife to Wen Nian, then walked towards Han.

"I made breakfast for you." Han calmed down and walked over, looking at Zong Yanli with loving eyes and said, "Are you going to the palace later?"

"Yes." Zong Yanli responded, took the food plate from Han's hand, and went into the house to eat.

Zong Yanli ate very quickly, finishing the millet porridge in two gulps. He wiped his mouth, stood up and said, "Mother, please wait for me at home. I will be back soon."

Zong Yanli raised her voice and called Wen Nian to come in to help her put on the armor. Han watched Wen Nian come in and skillfully button up the armor for Zong Yanli. There was a bit of suspicion in her eyes. The armor was heavy, and Han, a woman, might find it difficult to lift it.

So Zong Yanli asked Wen Nian to dress her without thinking too much.

But this was different in Han's eyes. Zong Yanli actually trusted Wen Nian to such an extent that he allowed him to be so close...

"Mother, I'll go first." After putting on his military armor, Zong Yanli turned to look at Han, leaning forward slightly and said.

"Okay, be careful on the road." Han hurriedly reminded.

As soon as Zong Yanli left the hospital, an imperial decree came from the palace, inviting Zong Yanli to the palace to meet the emperor.

Zong Yanli entered the palace for the second time, but this time he did not go to the Zhaoming Hall to meet the emperor. Instead, he went to the main hall in the direction of the library. When Zong Yanli went there, he happened to see the emperor standing at the gate of the palace, but he did not go in.

Zong Yanli slowed down his pace and was about to salute when he saw the emperor raised his hand to stop him: "Come, take a look."
