Deputy General Wu said sincerely, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The dragon's health is the most important."

Hearing this, the emperor sighed and said, "Whenever I think of the people of Wangzhou having to endure this terrifying natural disaster every day, I can't sleep at night."

General Lin quickly replied, "Your Majesty loves the people like his own children. It is a blessing for the people of Yongjin."

His Majesty sighed, "I hope the people of Wangzhou can live and work in peace and contentment." Suddenly he changed the subject, "I wonder if the two generals have any good ideas for this matter?"

Lin Mingqian said, "I am just a warrior. I can lead troops to fight on the battlefield, but I am powerless to fight floods."

His Majesty did not ask any more questions after hearing this, but just nodded and said, "You two can leave first. I still need to think carefully about this good plan to fight the flood."

The two men walked straight out of the palace. His Majesty never mentioned anything about rewards from beginning to end, which caught Deputy General Wu off guard.

He looked at Lin Mingqian helplessly and asked, "Your Majesty, did you hear what I said outside just now? Your attitude today doesn't seem right at all."

"Now that Wangzhou has suffered such a disaster, Your Majesty will definitely have no other thoughts in your mind. Besides, guarding Liangzhou is our duty. What does it matter whether there is a reward or not? Money is just a thing outside of our body."

Deputy General Wu looked at him with a look of disappointment and whispered, "I'm talking about the promotion. General, you have won such a victory and done such a great thing for Yongjin! How can Your Majesty remain silent and pretend nothing happened?"

"Well, this is our duty. Your wife and children at home must have been waiting for you for a long time. Go back and check on them." After saying that, Lin Mingqian jumped on his horse and disappeared in a short while.

Lieutenant General Wu turned around and glanced at the luxurious palace behind him with dissatisfaction. They were fighting on the front line, but His Majesty was enjoying himself inside.

Not to mention anything else, they just returned to His Majesty in the capital today. Not only did he not give them any reward, but he also made them stand outside for so long. It is really unreasonable!

Lin Mingqian hadn't seen Song Yingyue for many years. As soon as he returned home, he went straight to Song Yingyue's yard.

But he heard a few coughs from inside. He frowned slightly and walked quickly into the house. He saw Song Yingyue sitting on the couch with a handkerchief in her hand. She was embroidering something and looked a lot thinner.

When Song Yingyue heard the footsteps, she looked up in surprise and quickly threw herself into Lin Mingqian's arms, "My husband, you are finally back."

Lin Mingqian raised his hand and touched her long hair, "Do you know that you didn't come to greet me when I came back today?"

Song Yingyue coughed twice again, "I caught a cold a few days ago, and I was afraid that I would pass the disease on to the two children, so I didn't go to the city gate to greet you. I hope the general will forgive me."

Lin Mingqian laughed and said, "Those two kids are in better health than me now. They are not children anymore. I'm afraid your illness won't affect them."

"General, what are you talking about? It's fine for Yue Hong, but Yang Yang is a girl after all, and she's weak. How unlucky it would be if she caught a cold right after returning to the capital?"

Lin Mingqian looked at her in surprise. His mind couldn't help but emerge the scene where Lin Tingwan secretly appeared on the battlefield a few days ago without telling him, and with just a wave of his hand, he knocked down a barbarian's head.

"Yangyang has been practicing martial arts with me for these years, and her health has improved a lot. Now she is as strong as an ox. You don't have to worry about her."

Hearing this, Song Yingyue was unhappy and gently hit Lin Mingqian's chest, "How can a father say this to his daughter? You really have no control over your words. Yangyang has been quiet and gentle since she was a child. What does that have to do with the cow?"

Lin Mingqian thought over and over but couldn't connect the four words "gentle and quiet" with Lin Tingwan.

"You'll know when you meet her."

Although she had seen Lin Yuehong three years ago, she hadn't seen Lin Tingwan for many years.

Seeing Song Yingyue's hopeful expression, Lin Mingqian reached out and held her, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. They just came back today and should be cleaning up the yard. I happen to be free, so I'll take you to see them."

The first place the two went to was Lin Yuehong's yard.

Lin Yuehong had been living in fear these days. He finally came back to enjoy some peace and quiet. He was sitting on a lounge chair in the yard, basking in the sun, feeling so comfortable.

He didn't even react to the arrival of the two.

Lin Mingqian snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction.

Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Yuehong quickly stood up and jumped off the recliner, saluted him respectfully, and said in a loud voice, "Greetings, General."

Song Yingyue glared at Lin Mingqian fiercely, then quickly walked forward and grabbed Lin Yuehong's hand, "Let me see if you are injured?"

In fact, it is not Lin Yuehong's fault. When he first entered the military camp a few years ago, he felt that since he was the son of a great general, he would naturally receive different treatment from others, so he was very arrogant all day long.

But reality cruelly brought him back to his original form. Lin Mingqian taught him a severe lesson. From then on, he was greeted with more rigorous training than other soldiers.

It can be said that he climbed to the position of General of the Central Army step by step, and it has nothing to do with Lin Mingqian. In the military camp, they were never father and son. Lin Mingqian was just his general.

Over the years, the two of them have long been accustomed to the way soldiers get along with each other, and what happened just now was just a subconscious reaction.

Lin Yuehong looked at Song Yingyue with a pitiful expression, "Mom, you don't know how dad has bullied me all these years. You have to make the decision for me!"

His action stunned Lin Mingqian. He didn't expect that Lin Yuehong's first reaction would be to complain.

Song Yingyue looked at him with a distressed look on her face, "Tell mother quickly how your father bullied you. Mother, you are the one who decides!" After saying that, she glared at Lin Mingqian fiercely.

"Don't worry, just tell mother. If your father dares to do anything again, mother will definitely make him suffer!"

Lin Mingqian raised his eyebrows and said helplessly, "Madam, don't listen to him trying to sow discord. I didn't do anything to him."

"I don't know if you feel guilty when you say this in your dreams at night." Lin Yuehong retorted subconsciously.

Lin Mingqian glared at Lin Yuehong fiercely, but turned around with a smile on his face and looked at Song Yingyue, "Madam, you know me, how could I bear to embarrass my own son?"

"Oh, now I remember that I'm your biological son. I thought you picked me up on a battlefield!"

This was the scene of a family reunion that Lin Tingwan saw when she came in. She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips slightly and watched everything with a faint smile. When Song Yingyue saw her, the smile on her face froze.
