Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Entered Beijing_1

Eunuch Wan said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, the young general has grown up in the military camp since he was a boy. He is broad-minded and unyielding. Of course, he cannot be compared with your servant. I...don’t know the young general’s thoughts. But, if it were me, I dare not refuse Your Majesty’s kindness."

"So that means he still holds some resentment towards me, does it not?"

"Your servant dares to suggest that perhaps...once the young general has triumphed and returned, you could grant him a new mansion. He would likely gladly accept."

"Where is he now?"

"He is at the Yun Lai Inn near the General Residence."

The Emperor leaned back on his chair, frowning in contemplation.

After a while, the Emperor looked at Eunuch Wan, "Relay my decree, give Nangong Ye and his wife three days to relax. After these three days, they should come to the palace for an audience."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

...

Brother Ye took Nan Feng around the Capital City, indulging in food and drink.

As Brother Ye had patrolled the streets of the Capital City previously, he was familiar with most nooks and crannies.

Thinking of an impending long separation, they spent nights strolling aimlessly in the city, unwilling to sleep.

Perhaps due to unresolved fate, on the third day, Nan Feng ran into Mo Wenxuan.

As it turned out, Mo Wenxuan, too, was staying at the inn. He was preparing for the imperial examination to be held a month later, immersed in his books inside his room.

That floor was occupied entirely by scholars who had come from Fu County. They hardly went out, letting the waiter bring food to their rooms so they could eat and then continue reading.

It was a mere coincidence that Mo Wenxuan ran into Nan Feng that day. If it hadn’t been for his room running out of tea, he would not have come downstairs and seen Nan Feng.

"Nan Feng, why are you here in the Capital City? I thought I would never see you again," Mo Wenxuan said, scratching his head.

Then Mo Wenxuan looked at the man next to Nan Feng, "This is...?"

At that moment, only one thought crossed Mo Wenxuan’s mind: Nan Feng had run away to be with another man. Besides this, he could think of no other reason why she would be hand in hand with this stranger.

Perhaps Brother Ye was just too ugly while Nan Feng was worldly and hence, found him repulsive.

However... it pained Mo Wenxuan.

He didn’t care whether Nan Feng was a flirtatious woman or not, what mattered to him was why she wasn’t flirting with him. If it weren’t for his constant studying, he would have had time to court her.

Nan Feng just laughed at Mo Wenxuan, "Guess?"

"Nan Feng, I can’t guess," Mo Wenxuan had no mood for guessing.

"He is Brother Ye," Nan Feng said with a smile.

"Brother Ye?" Mo Wenxuan took another good look at Brother Ye. Though Brother Ye was not as handsome as Pan An, his face was undoubtedly masculine. Was this the same man who used to be so ghastly?

However, his build and gaze were indeed familiar.

Nan Feng let out another chuckle. This reaction was similar to Xue Ling’s and Dragon Three’s, but Mo Wenxuan’s was the greatest, "Mo Wenxuan, let me formally introduce him – this is Nangong Ye, who is about to leave for the North to fight a war."

No sooner had Nan Feng finished speaking than a stir ran through the crowd dining on the first floor of the inn.

Three days prior, news that the adopted son of General Nangong was being dispatched with an army had spread across the Capital City. Additionally, the Emperor’s renovation of General Nangong’s Mansion assured the city’s residents and eased their worries. People were apprehensive fearing that Dashun would eventually attack Capital City, but now with the return of the young General Nangong, there was renewed hope. The news spread rapidly. The late General Nangong had been undefeated in battle, so his adopted son was naturally expected not to falter either.
