"Yes, yes, I will not disturb the general's rest. General Du Thank you for your hard work. I will take my leave first. If you have any orders in the future, just ask the general, and I will do my best to fulfill them."
After saying that, Wang Huai'an bowed deeply to Du Tianwu, then led his servants, turned around and left the main camp dejectedly.
Walking out of the military camp, the night became darker, the cold wind blew by, bringing with it a hint of coolness. The smile on Wang Huai'an's face instantly faded, replaced by a look of annoyance and unwillingness.
He spent so much effort, prepared generous gifts, and came all night, but only saw Du Tianwu, not Marquis Su, which made him feel a little aggrieved.
The servant next to him was wearing coarse clothes and shivering from the cold, and asked cautiously.
"Sir, shall we go back now?"
Wang Huai'an glared at the servant fiercely and scolded him angrily.
"Where else can we go if we don't go back? Marquis Su is interrogating the prisoners, and we can't go in and disturb them. Do we have to wait here?"
"It will be dawn in a few hours. Go back and sleep for a while. Come back to see Marquis Su in the morning."
Wang Huai'an's tone was full of annoyance, but he had no choice but to take his servants and walk towards the Sheriff's Mansion angrily.
Along the way, Wang Huai'an was thinking secretly in his mind.
It doesn't matter that he failed to see Marquis Su this time. When Marquis Su's interrogation is over, he will come to see him in person. He will prepare more generous gifts and perform well. He must make Marquis Su remember him and attach himself to this patron.
After all, in this troubled world, only by hugging a thigh like Marquis Su can he live a better life in the Yan Kingdom, and even go further. This is the way of living that he believes in.
I just thought that I had been running around all night, sending gifts and greetings, but I didn't even see Marquis Su's face.
Wang Huai'an felt depressed in his heart, and his steps became heavier and heavier, which was in obvious contrast to the eagerness and excitement when he came.
Wang Huai'an After returning home, I lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
After returning from the military camp last night, he was filled with regrets about not being able to see Marquis Su. He was thinking over and over in his mind how to behave today so that he could successfully see Marquis Su and climb the big tree.
In the early morning, I was still awake when I was woken up by my servants.
I just wanted to get angry, but then I remembered that I had let the villain wake me up at this point, so I had no choice but to give up.
Wang Huai'an wore two thick panda eyes and put on official uniform.
Four confidants followed him out, each holding a heavy wooden box in his hand, containing even more generous gifts than last night.
There are priceless jade pendants, calligraphy and paintings, medicinal materials that have been hoarded for a hundred years, and thick stacks of Silver Notes, which are all his "savings" saved from being an official for many years. In order to get Marquis Su, he has spent a lot of money.
The group of people hurriedly walked towards the Great Xuan Army's military camp again, facing the cold morning wind.
Wang Huai'an As he walked, he raised his hand to rub his swollen temples. The red bloodshot eyes became more and more obvious, but he still had a respectful smile on his face, secretly cheering himself up in his heart.
No matter what today, I have to see Marquis Su. Even if I wait a day and a night, I still have to see Su Fei.
They arrived outside the military camp again.
The soldiers guarding the gate still looked solemn and on high alert. When they saw Wang Huai'an and his party, they still stepped forward to stop them, but their tone was a little gentler than last night.
After all, we had met him last night and knew that this was the county guard of Upper Valley Commandery.
"Commandery Governor Wang, are you here again?"
"It's me."
Wang Huai'an quickly returned the gift with a smile on his face.
"Excuse me, brother, I'd like to inform you again. I came here specially today to ask to see Marquis Su. I also ask for my convenience."
With that said, he motioned to his servant to hand over a piece of silver and said in a sincere tone.
"Thank you for your hard work, little brother. You must help me convey the message. Just say Upper Valley Commandery County Sheriff Wang Huai'an. I sincerely ask to see Marquis Su."
The gatekeeper took the silver and nodded.
"Master Sheriff, please wait a moment. I will go and report it right away. I cannot guarantee whether Marquis Su is free at this moment. Please wait patiently."
"It doesn't matter. I just go and report it. I'll just wait here."
Wang Huai'an said quickly, his tone was full of politeness, without any airs of a county guard.
The guarding soldiers left in response, and Wang Huai'an took his servants and stood respectfully outside the military camp door, waiting patiently.
The morning fog gradually dissipated, and the sun rose slowly, dispelling some of the chill, but Wang Huai'an still felt cold all over. On the one hand, it was the biting cold wind, and on the other hand, it was the tension and anxiety in his heart.
He was afraid that he still wouldn't be able to see Marquis Su today, and that so much thought and generous gifts had been wasted.
The servant behind him was holding a heavy wooden box. His hands and feet were already numb from the cold, but he did not dare to complain at all. He could only stand aside obediently, with his head lowered, not even daring to breathe.
Wang Huai'an occasionally paces for a moment to relieve the tension in his heart. From time to time, he looks into the depths of the military camp, his eyes full of eagerness and expectation, wishing he could see Marquis Su right away.
At this time, inside the military tent of the Great Xuan Army's coach, there was a different scene.
The tent was warm and cozy, a cup of warm tea was placed on the table, and Su Fei was sitting on the chair.
With a calm expression and deep eyes, he was talking to Du Tianwu.
Su Fei played with the storage ring that Dugu Fengming handed over to him. Although the space inside was only a few square meters, the size was not comparable to his portable storage space.
But it's better than nothing, especially the storage ring he turned in contained hundreds of spirit stones. This kid is quite sensible.
Du Tianwu is wearing armor. After yesterday's battle, he, the Duke of Great Xuan, has been completely impressed by Su Fei's strength. He is full of admiration for Su Fei in his heart. He looks at Su Fei with eyes filled with conviction and respect.
Now, even if Su Fei didn't say it explicitly, he already regarded Su Fei as his superior from the bottom of his heart.
"Marquis Su, don't worry, we will leave it to the general to destroy Yan Kingdom's remaining White Lotus Sect forces."
Du Tianwu spoke firmly and looked solemn.
"Dugu Fengming has been captured by Marquis Su, and the remaining White Lotus Sect forces are not of concern."
"The remaining White Lotus Sect rebels are completely useless. The general is ready to personally lead the army and divide his troops to hunt down and suppress the remaining White Lotus Sect. We must wipe out all White Lotus Sect, root them out and eliminate future troubles forever."
"The sooner we complete the mission here, the sooner we can return to Great Xuan."
In response to Du Tianwu's proactive statement, Su Fei nodded slightly, with a hint of approval on his face.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to General Du. We must wipe out the remaining forces of the White Lotus Sect as soon as possible. On the one hand, we will prevent them from coming back. On the other hand, we can also fulfill Yan Kingdom's request and get back the land of the three counties for me, Great Xuan."
Su Fei is thinking in his heart.
As long as the remaining forces of the White Lotus Sect are successfully wiped out, we can legitimately ask Yan Kingdom for the land of the three counties.
