At this time, Master Hong leaned forward slightly and took over the conversation and said, "Yes, yes, there is such a vital matter that needs to be reported to you. Our majestic and famous general really experienced a thrilling battle this time! The scene was simply a scene of swords and blood, which makes people feel terrified just thinking about it. It's a pity that the general fought bravely on the battlefield and didn't suffer any serious injuries. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured yesterday and his condition was extremely critical! But fortunately, he was pulled back from the gates of hell. And what's more gratifying is that the general has now woken up and is gradually recovering. This is really a blessing in disguise! The emperor has conferred him the title of Duke of Chongguo."

Before Master Hong had finished speaking, Old Master Hong, who had been sitting in the first seat and silently listening to everyone's conversation, suddenly stood up as if he had been electrocuted.

His weather-beaten face was instantly distorted by extreme surprise. His eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he shouted in a trembling voice, "What...what? He was actually named Duke?"

Then he said worriedly: "Isn't this reward too high? In this way, won't the general become the target of public criticism? Those jealous guys who envy others' achievements will definitely try their best to plot against him in secret."

As he spoke, Old Master Hong couldn't help but frowned tightly, his face full of worry, and he began to pace back and forth anxiously in the room.

However, in sharp contrast to Old Master Hong's worry, Second Master Hong on the side had a look of indifference on his face.

He pouted and nonchalantly retorted, "What are you afraid of? So many people died in the fierce battle yesterday. It's good enough that I can come back alive. If those jealous guys dare to act rashly, they will be beaten black and blue!"

After saying this, Master Hong Er snorted contemptuously, as if he disagreed with his brother and father's worries.

Wang Chuanshan frowned and said worriedly, "Now the emperor is very kind to them, but who can predict what will happen in the future? Let alone other things, just the power of the Tiger Army in the hands of the general, is it too great?"

His words revealed deep worry and anxiety.

Old Master Hong nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Wang Chuanshan's opinion, and then slowly said: "As far as I know, the general is seriously injured now, and Xiaowu must be taking good care of him. In this case, I'm afraid he won't have time to come and discuss this matter with us in the near future."

What this means is that since Ye Zifen cannot be present in person to discuss with everyone, it will be difficult for everyone to know each other's subsequent action plans.

At this time, Master Hong II interrupted and said, "Since the general is already injured, should we go and visit him? After all, courtesy is always a plus."

He knew very well that taking the initiative to visit at this time would not only show his concern, but also enable the two sides to exchange information.

You have to find the so-called steps by yourself.

After hearing this, Wang Chuanshen thought for a moment and responded, "That's absolutely right. We should go over and visit." After saying that, he turned to look at Old Master Hong, waiting for further instructions from the other party.

Old Master Hong hesitated for a moment, then gave an order decisively: "Now that you have decided, go and prepare the carriage quickly. I will go with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, several men in the study nodded in agreement and began to arrange the visit.

It was early in the morning that the sun shone through the mottled leaves onto the path in the backyard.

At this time, there was a noise coming from the front yard. It turned out that the news about Ye Zifen was spreading like wildfire.

When Mrs. Hong in the backyard heard this, she couldn't help but feel moved, and immediately said that she also wanted to visit Ye Zifen.

After all, if that girl hadn't fought desperately to protect the Hong family, even if they were able to protect the family business in the end, it is likely that someone would have died.

And in today's capital, how many families have not experienced the separation of life and death?

In comparison, their Hong family is already in a better situation.

Although Old Master Hong felt helpless in the face of his wife's insistence, he finally agreed.

So, all the masters of the Hong family set off and prepared to go visit Ye Zifen together.

In addition, another person joined the team, that was Wang Chuanshen.

It is said that Ye Zifen did not get up too early today.

Last night, she got up several times to take care of Zhang Gaoyi who was injured in bed.

Zhang Gaoyi was covered in wounds and had difficulty moving, especially when going to the toilet, he needed someone to look after him carefully.

For such a close matter, the person responsible must naturally be Ye Zifen.

However, whenever Ye Zifen took care of the child herself, she couldn't help but feel shy.

After all, she had never witnessed such a scene so directly before, let alone touched it with her own hands.

Even though they were already husband and wife and had enjoyed sex before, this situation really made her blush.

Fortunately, she was the only one who seemed a little embarrassed during the whole process, while Zhang Gaoyi seemed particularly calm.

Zhang Gaoyi couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in his heart, feeling quite awkward. After all, he was in the military camp, surrounded by all kinds of jokes.

Seeing his wife's behavior at this moment, he just regarded it as a normal reaction after hearing those vulgar words.

Ye Zifen went through a long night and finally waited for the dawn.

Even though it was just a brief experience last night, she still had trouble falling asleep afterwards.

After the people from the Hong family arrived, Ye Zifen hurriedly told Madam Qi to find a young eunuch to look after Zhang Gaoyi, while she herself hurried to meet the people from the Hong family.

However, what was unexpected was that before Ye Zifen met the Hong family, the imperial edict from the palace came like a gust of wind.

Looking at the sudden imperial edict in front of her, Ye Zifen frowned, full of confusion.

The emperor had clearly promised her in person that he would temporarily suppress the imperial edict, so why did he suddenly change his mind now?

But now that things have come to this and the imperial edict has been issued, there is nothing we can do except to accept it respectfully.

In this way, the General's Mansion was transformed into the extremely noble Duke Chongguo Mansion.

However, this is probably the only mansion in history where a duke was conferred a title, but the duke himself could not come in person to receive the decree.

Fortunately, the emperor had pointed this out in advance, so it was not regarded as a contempt or offense to the imperial power.

After receiving the order and expressing his gratitude, the eunuch left immediately without staying for a moment.

He also took time out to come back and accompany the emperor.
