"Did I hear it wrong? Is it Nian'er's voice?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head and looked at Qiao Wan with disbelief. She suspected that she was hallucinating.

Qiao Wan's eyes were so excited that she grabbed Chen's hand and nodded.

"It's the third brother's voice. He said that father is back."

"Let me take a look." Qiao Wei ran out first.

After a while, Qiaowei and Qiaomin returned to the courtyard.

Qiao Niao announced the good news with excitement on his face: "Mother, my father has returned to Shouchun safely."

"Where are the others, General?"

When Mrs. Chen heard the news, she suddenly felt much relieved.

Qiao Wan took a step forward and continued to report: "Father has to report to the Central Government first and will return home later."

"well..."

Ms. Chen lowered her head to wipe away her tears, and then waved to Qiao Wei.

"Weier, hurry up and tell the chef that we need to prepare a sumptuous dinner. By the way, we also need to prepare some fine wine. Let's help the general clean up his dust."

"My child, go right away."

Qiao Wei gently cupped her hands and turned around quickly to make arrangements.

Qiao Wan suddenly rolled her eyes and asked Qiao Wan curiously: "Is it the letter reported by Guard Li? Why didn't I come with you?"

"No." Qiao Min shook his head slightly and added: "Yun Qi got the news and sent Tang Yi to the house. Now he has returned to the south of the city."

"So that's it." Qiao Wan suddenly realized.

Mrs. Chen covered her mouth and coughed twice, sighing from the bottom of her heart.

"This kid is not good at fighting, but he is very good at informing people. He is even faster than Li Tun..."

Qiao Wan explained playfully: "Mother, Long Yunqi is in the city defense army. Naturally, he is close to the water. It is normal to know the news first."

"Second sister is right, mother, please don't be biased against Yun Qi. My son thinks he is quite good. If he is with the army in this battle, maybe he can keep his father from getting into trouble..."

Qiao Miao had several contacts with Long Xiang, and felt that the other person's words were pleasant to the ears and pleasing to the eye, so she couldn't help but help him speak for him.

"Long Yunqi is indeed very capable, and you two siblings actually spoke for him." Mrs. Chen shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This boy is cautious and good at protecting himself. I will advise the general when I go out to take him with me as much as possible.

Maybe we can turn bad luck into good luck."

After Mrs. Chen said that, she turned around and went back to her room to rest. Qiao Wan held her arm and turned to Qiao Wan with a leisurely smile. She said to her, "Do you regard Long Xiang as a lucky general?"

Not long after, Li Tun also rushed to the door to announce the good news, but found that the master and servants of Qiao Mansion were extremely calm. When he asked, he found out that Tang Hui had already arrived, which made him very embarrassed at the time.

After nightfall, Qiao Niao greeted Qiao Rui at the gate of the mansion, but the guard accompanying him was not Li Tun.

Qiao Rui took the initiative to send out an invitation: "We have prepared wine and food at home. Come with me for a quick meal?"

Just when Qiao Wan was surprised that Qiao Rui was so polite, the other party actually flatly refused.

"The general has been out for a long time. We must report back to the Qubu first. The general is kind-hearted." Luo Yicheng politely declined with fists in his hands.

Qiao Rui nodded slightly, "That's fine, I'll go there tomorrow."

After Luo Yicheng disappeared into the darkness, Qiaoyu turned to face Qiaorui and asked in disbelief: "Father, who is that person? Isn't that too much?"

"Yi Cheng is not asking for help, but abiding by discipline. He is his father's savior."

Qiao Rui said so and walked into the house. He never dreamed that he would come back alive.

Qiao Min was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself that his father was captured alive by the enemy. How could this man be so sacred? He could actually save people among thousands of armies. It was incredible to think about it.

When the relatives met, the mother and daughter of the Qiao family first cried, and then the husband, wife and children took their places, and the waiters brought wine, meat and food to the bridge to wash away the dust.

After a while of chatting and crying, Ms. Chen was the first to express her doubts.

"I heard that the general was captured, why did your majesty send someone to negotiate so quickly? Or maybe Lu Bu took the initiative to let the general return in order to seek peace."

"None of them." Qiaorui shook his head gently.

"So..." Ms. Chen was even more puzzled.

Qiaowei and Qiaowan also didn't know what was going on. Only Qiaoyou knew a little bit about it, but they all looked at Qiaorui expectantly.

Qiao Rui stroked his beard and said: "I can come back safely this time, in the final analysis, I have to thank one person."

"who?"

"Long Xiang, Long Yunqi."

"ah?"

"What?"

Mrs. Chen and Qiao Wei both felt incredible. Qiao Wanze and Qiao Min looked at each other. Both of them felt it was incredible.

"Father, please tell me in detail. Isn't Long Xiang guarding the city in Shouchun? Why did he go to save..."

Qiao Wan, who had the strongest thirst for knowledge, was the first to jump out and get to the bottom of things.

Qiao Min followed closely: "Yes, yes, it's incredible..."

"This may be God's will. Things have to start from last year..."

Qiao Rui looked up to the sky and sighed, her thoughts slowly turning to Luo Yicheng's story.

Luo Yicheng was ordered to lurk in Xiapi and secretly collect information that was unfavorable to Long Xiang. However, after meeting Qiao Rui, he cleverly changed his intention and said that he was going to spy on military intelligence.

Han Yin disappeared mysteriously last year. Luo Yi originally wanted to return to Shouchun, but he found many rangers when he went out of the city.

Luo Yicheng felt that something was wrong, so he returned to the city again.

This year Lu Bu and Yuan Shu turned against each other, and Yuan Shu sent people to Xiapi to spread rumors that Chen Gong and Hao Meng were Yuan Yuanshu's insiders.

At that time, Hao Meng had gone out with the army, and Chen Gong stayed at home in Xiapi, pretending to be ill. Guard Gao Shun did not take immediate measures, but blocked the four gates of Xiapi and strengthened the security in the city. Luo Yicheng had no chance to leave.

In order to escape from the city, Luo Yicheng took the initiative to apply for a job as a food transporter. He planned to wait for an opportunity to escape on the way.

During the journey, the grain inspector kept a strict watch on him. Luo Yicheng arrived at the front line in confusion and unexpectedly learned that Qiao Rui had become a prisoner.

Qiao Rui took special care of Long Xiang's troops, and it happened that the 'rebellious' Hao Meng was in the rear army.

Luo Yicheng took advantage of the situation and went to Hao Meng's tent at night, exaggerated the rumors in Xiapi City, and persuaded Hao Meng to kidnap Qiao Rui and flee to Huainan.

After Hao Meng learned about the rumors, he felt bad because he really thought about betrayal.

As long as news from the rear reaches the front line, or Lu Bu's troops return to Xiapi, Hao Meng's end will come.

After careful consideration, Hao Meng adopted Luo Yicheng's suggestion.

Han Xian and Yang Feng defected before the battle, and the general Zhang Xun was unable to react. Hao Meng's rebellion also caught Lu Bu by surprise.

Although Hao Meng was pursued by Zhang Liao's troops, he managed to escape to the south bank of the Huai River, but the price paid was not small. Only 80 of his 800 men were left at the destination.

Qiao Rui's legendary experience, Chen and her children felt like they were dreaming about it.

The eldest daughter Qiao Wei was the first to calm down. She sighed thoughtfully: "Long Yunqi did have merit in this matter, but it just happened at the right time. The main reason is that Luo Yicheng can adapt to changes, and my father can reuse this person in the future."

"I don't think so..."

Qiao Min remembered what he had just seen at the mansion and couldn't help but express his opinion. When he saw everyone looking over at him, he covered his mouth nervously.

"Third brother, what do you mean?" Qiao Wan opened her eyes wide.

Mrs. Chen also frowned and asked, "You'er also has a different view?"

"Uh... I think... Luo Yicheng is Long Yunqi's soldier. Even if my father re-employs this person, he still has to ask for his opinion..."

Before Qiao Min finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head.
