"General Shu, you're finally here.
I thought you didn't plan to come today."
Early in the morning, Commander An was waiting at the gate of the palace.
After a while, he saw Shu Sirui coming on horseback.
Yesterday, he waited all day in vain, but Shu Sirui didn't arrive.
The dark commander couldn't go back to his life on his own, so he could only wait at the palace gate.
Today, Shu Sirui finally arrived.
Hearing Commander An's complaint, Shu Sirui bowed his hands apologetically.
Commander An could understand, after all, it was a breakup that was better than a wedding.
"Everything is fine at home."
With Shu Sirui away, Yunzhu must be responsible for everything alone.
The dark commander spoke with concern and asked about Yunzhu's condition.
"Commander Lao An is worried, everything is fine at home, and my wife is fine too."
Guessing that Commander An would ask about Yunzhu, Shu Sirui answered directly.
"That's good, that's good."
Shu Sirui's guess was correct.
Commander An did intend to ask where Yunzhu came from, but Shu Sirui had already answered, so he didn't need to continue asking.
The two tied their horses at the palace gate, and then entered the palace together.
"Reporting to the Emperor, the secret commander is asking Master Shu Shu for an audience."
Now that Shu Sirui was no longer a general, and he didn't seem to have any official position, the eunuch chief didn't really know what to call him for a while.
"Quickly send them in."
Knowing that the two men were back, the emperor was very happy and ordered the chief eunuch.
In response, the chief eunuch went out and invited Shu Sirui and An Commander in.
"My dears, you are finally back."
The emperor seemed very happy to see the two of them.
He looked at the two of them and couldn't help but speak again, "The two dears have lost a lot of weight.
It seems that the journey has been very hard."
"Your Majesty, it's not hard work for me, but I almost lost my life."
Shu Sirui opened his mouth and saluted the emperor.
He called himself a minister because he was helping the emperor with things this time.
He was considered a minister and it was okay to call him a minister.
"The southwest border pass is so dangerous now."
The emperor was a little surprised, looked at Shu Sirui and asked.
"You two dear ladies, please sit down quickly and tell me in detail about your trip to the southwest."
You know, both Shu Sirui and Commander An are powerful generals around the emperor.
They almost died.
How could this not shock the emperor?
After hearing the emperor's words, the two of them bowed and sat down.
Shu Sirui glanced at Commander An and motioned for him to speak.
After all, he usually liked to talk.
Noticing Shu Sirui's gaze, Commander An was a little helpless, so he had no choice but to speak and recount what happened along the way.
Of course, it is a brief explanation.
After all, I have been away for several months.
If I talk about it day by day, I don’t know how long it will take.
Even so, it took a lot of time to say this.

The emperor listened carefully.
When he heard that the two people almost died, the emperor's expression couldn't help but change.
If two generals were lost because of the incident in the southwest, the emperor would probably regret it to death.
"Fortunately, you are okay."
The emperor said with some emotion, and looked at Shu Sirui, "If Mrs.
Shu knows that you have encountered such a thing, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to go out on errands next time."
The emperor said this, making Commander An couldn't help but chuckle.
The expression on Shu Sirui's face didn't change much, but in his heart he agreed with what the emperor said.
He signaled Commander An to continue talking, and Commander An continued talking.
It took a while to finish everything.
"Your Majesty, is General Wang really sent by you?"
This question has been lingering in Shu Sirui's mind for a long time.
Having often led troops in battles in the past, Shu Sirui knew that the guard at the border could not move easily, but in a short period of time, the guard at the border was changed.
Although it was General Wang whom he had been with before, Shu Sirui was still worried.
"Don't worry, Shu Qing.
That General Wang was indeed sent by me.
You are different now and have concerns.
Otherwise, if things go wrong this time, you will be the one stationed at the southwest border."
Although the emperor knew that sending General Wang out might not be a long-term solution.
General Wang was also very concerned about his family, but at the moment, General Wang was the only one who was most suitable.
Hearing what the emperor said, Shu Sirui and Commander An were relieved.
Since it was arranged by the emperor himself, there must be no problems.
While speaking, the emperor kept observing Shu Sirui's reaction, and seeing that he had no reaction at all, he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be in vain.
He sighed in his heart.
To be honest, the emperor really wanted Shu Sirui to return to the court, but his mind was not in it.
Even if he came back, it would have no effect at all.
A general who only cares about his family will not be a good general, because some things can only be successful if he is determined to die.
"You two have worked hard this time, I don't know what reward you want."
Looking at the two people, the emperor asked.
Commander An looked at Shu Sirui, wondering how he would answer.
"I told the emperor before that I will stay in the capital for half a year every year, and it seems to be almost over.
In September, I will accompany my wife back home, and I will probably not come back until half a year later."
Shu Sirui knew that if Yunzhu returned home, he would probably stay there until the Chinese New Year.
After all, they were not at home during the Chinese New Year last year.
"Okay, I will reward you with something for you to take home."
Although he didn't want Shu Sirui to leave, he couldn't go back on his promise, so the emperor nodded and agreed to Shu Sirui's words.
Seeing the emperor's promise, Shu Sirui had nothing to say.
After helping the emperor complete the matter, he was a civilian again and did not need any rewards.
As long as he allows himself to come and go as he pleases, it's already a good reward.
"Commander An, what about you?"
Looking at Commander An, the emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, I want nothing more.
I am very happy to be able to save my life this time.
I am very satisfied to be able to eat meat and drink wine again."
After hearing what An Commander said, the emperor was silent for a moment, "In that case, I will reward each of you with a hundred taels of gold, An Commander's ten jars of royal wine, and Shu Sirui's ten pieces of brocade."

The emperor knew that Shu Sirui didn't like fine wine, so the brocade he gave to his wife last time was considered a good idea.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
They saluted the Emperor.
Both of them were very satisfied with their reward.
"I heard that Mrs.
Shu has opened another store in the capital.
I have nothing to do today, so why don't you two go with me?"
It's rare for an emperor to leave the palace, so he naturally needs someone to accompany him, and someone with strong martial arts skills.
Whether it's Shu Sirui or the secret commander, they all fit the bill.
"According to the order."
The two of them saluted again.
Although it was a bit difficult to accompany the emperor out of the palace, no matter what, it was easier than going to the southwest before.
Seeing that the two agreed, the emperor went to change into regular clothes, ordered people to prepare horses, and left the palace with Shu Sirui and the dark commander.
Shu Sirui knew the location of Ke Laixiang.
After leaving the palace, Shu Sirui led the way in front, the secret commander followed behind, and the emperor walked between the two.
There were some guards behind him, but not many.
After all, Shu Sirui and An Commander were there, not to mention that it would be too conspicuous to travel with so many people.
Of course, it doesn't mean that these are the only ones.
There are still many people protecting the emperor in the dark, but they just don't appear easily.
As he walked along, the emperor looked at both sides of the street.
After all, it was his own capital, and he always wanted to check the sentiments of the people.
Finally, the group came to Ke Laixiang.
Unfortunately, because it was noon, Ke Laixiang was full and many customers were still waiting.
Looking at the many people at the door, the emperor became more and more interested in Yunzhu's shop.
The eunuch manager beside him wanted to clear the people away, but was stopped by the emperor.
Waiting in line was the first experience for an emperor in his life.
"You can tell at a glance that this plaque is Mr.
Tan's calligraphy."
Looking at the signboard of Ke Laixiang, the emperor smiled and said.
Shu Sirui looked up.
He really didn't know when this plaque was made.
Apparently, it was after he left, but the couple didn't mention it during their chat yesterday.
There were fewer and fewer people, and it was finally Shu Sirui's turn.
Seeing the satisfied faces of everyone coming out of the store, the emperor became more and more itchy.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of my way."
There was a noise from behind, and the emperor frowned in displeasure and looked behind him.
I saw a tall man pushing the people in front of him, and behind him, followed a man in rich clothes.
Judging by his age, he should be in his early twenties.
Behind the man in rich clothes, there were several people.
Looking at their clothes, they were clearly servants, but the expressions on their faces made the emperor feel ridiculous.
This is the first word that comes to the emperor's mind.
"Get out of the way, didn't you see our young master coming?"
The people behind the emperor were pushed away, and the big man finally came to Shu Sirui and others.
Looking at Shu Sirui and others, the big man stretched out his hand, trying to push the emperor aside as before.
Before he could meet the emperor, he was stopped by the dark commander.

He was a little surprised.
He didn't expect someone to stop him.
"How dare you stop me?
Do you know who our young master is?"
After using some strength, the dark commander did not move at all.
The big man knew that he had encountered a problem, but he could not back down, so he scolded the dark commander.
"I don't know who your young master is.
I only know who I am.
If you know what you are looking for, please wait in line at the back.
Otherwise, I will let you know how to write regrets."
Looking at the big man, the dark commander's expression was very serious, which made the big man feel a little guilty.
However, thinking of the identity of the man in fine clothes behind him, the big man couldn't help but become tough.
"I don't care who you are, even if you are the King of Heaven, you have to get out of my way and get up quickly today, otherwise I will be rude to you
