Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Take You Back Home_1

They arrived at the Capital City dock on the second night.

Unsure of how the Emperor knew of their arrival, he dispatched numerous guards that day to receive Ye Ge and Nan Feng, along with an extremely grand carriage.

Seeing the solemn guards, the grand carriage, and the obsequious eunuch, Nan Feng experienced a completely different feeling.

It seemed that a new Chapter of their life was about to unfold.

What will the upcoming life be like?

What awaits them?

Ye Ge stepped into the carriage holding Nan Feng’s hand, followed by the eunuch.

This was Nan Feng’s first encounter with a eunuch. They do have Adam’s apples, and their voices are not as soft as depicted on television. Their voices are coarse, but they are habitually submissive and low-key, seemingly lacking any aura of authority.

Anyway, the feeling was entirely different compared to Ye Ge.

"Young General, His Majesty sent me to escort you back to the mansion," the eunuch named Wan Gonggong said.

"Back to what mansion?" Ye Ge asked.

"Of course, it’s the Nangong General’s Residence," Wan Gonggong still maintained his humble demeanor and said, "His Majesty got the news of the young general’s return two days ago and ordered the Nangong General’s Residence to be refurbished for you to reside in."

But wouldn’t that bring back old memories?

Nan Feng looked at Ye Ge anxiously.

She wondered how the Emperor thought, as she wouldn’t make such arrangements.

Ye Ge clenched his fists but did not respond.

This mansion was indeed the one Nan Feng had seen during her last visit to the Capital City. It was deserted at the time, but now, it was completely rejuvenated.

The plaque of the General’s Residence was rehung at the entrance, with guards and maids standing by. The doors were adorned with large red lanterns, and even the doors themselves were replaced. Upon entering, the mansion was filled with festive decorations, illuminating the mansion with resplendent brightness, a sight of prosperity.

But despite its return to its original grandeur, the mansion was filled with unfamiliar people.

Ye Ge could clearly remember, despite the infrequency of his trips to the General’s Residence due to constant training outside, the moral integrity of his righteous father who walked through the corridors in his general’s attire, his amiable godmother who watered the flowers and did needlework in the courtyard, and his lively and cute younger sister who called him "brother" and hopped towards him.

Now the General’s Residence is just as ostentatious, but without those familiar faces, what meaning is there in returning?

The reason Ye Ge chose to return was merely because he was unable to have one last look at this place before leaving, and didn’t get the chance to find his righteous father’s mementos.

Nan Feng followed Ye Ge into the mansion.

He took a comprehensive look around every corner of the mansion.

In the study, the calligraphies and the sword used by his righteous father were still there. Obviously, the Emperor had taken great pains to arrange this for him.

However, Ye Ge only took the cyan feather sword in the end before leaving the General’s Residence with Nan Feng:

"Wan Gonggong, we won’t be staying here, we will stay at the inn up ahead. Contact us there if needed."

...

In the palace.

Upon hearing Wan Gonggong’s report, the Emperor frowned slightly, "He didn’t want to stay at the General’s Residence?"

"Your Majesty, perhaps it is the Young General’s reverence for his ancestors, making him reluctant to face these memories."

The Emperor seemed a bit displeased nonetheless. "But this was a gift from me. If it were you, would you not want to stay?"
