Two days later, Tuoba Hong's injuries improved and he regained consciousness.

After Yun Zhihan found out, he brought Bai Yuan to visit him.

"Mother, I have told the princess about this matter, and she asked Guard Jiang to assist us."

"Very good, Yuan'er has grown up and knows how to plan and endure. This is a good thing."

"Mother, you are too kind. You have endured humiliation and hardship over the years. If your son had not been so weak..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yun Zhihan interrupted, "If the Marquis were still alive, he would definitely be proud of you."

Besides, she didn't endure humiliation. She ate, drank and slept all day long. Apart from the old woman and that Yuan who were always causing trouble for her, she was quite happy.

"Yes, mother." Xie Boyuan changed the subject, "Mother, who is General Tuoba Hong? Why did he come to the Great Zhou Kingdom?"

"Mother doesn't know about this either. Isn't he awake? Let's go over and ask him and we'll know."

In the past few days, Yun Zhihan was afraid that the news would leak out, so he asked the little girls around him to take care of the man. They didn't know this wild man, they only knew that he was Bo Chen's friend.

When turning the corner, the gatekeeper came running over, "Madam, Young Master, Guard Jiang is here."

"Please come quickly."

"Yes."

"Mom, he should be here to ask about Dad."

"Well, wait a moment then."

Yun Zhihan paused and asked, "Tongzi, is this Jiang Feng reliable?"

She really didn't want to bear everything alone, and she also didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the battlefield and the court, which could easily get her into trouble.

"Hanhan, Jiang Feng is a reliable person. Tongzi searched his gossip and found that he is a gentleman, but a little arrogant. However, due to his background, he sometimes feels inferior."

Yun Zhihan laughed, "Arrogant and self-deprecating? Anyway, he is just not confident. It doesn't matter. I can trick him into becoming a live-in son-in-law in the future and let Bai Jin discipline him."

"Hanhan, can't you stop thinking about asking Baijin to pick up men?"

"Isn't this Bai Jin's hobby? It's not too much to help my mother, right?"

Tongzi was speechless. He was now very worried about Bai Jin's future. It would be fine if he caught a rich son-in-law, but it would be a sin if he caught a traitor.

As he was speaking, Jiang Feng came over.

"My name is Jiang Feng. Thank you, Madam, and thank you, my tutor."

"Guard Jiang, is there something important that brought you here today?" Yun Zhihan asked. If not, help her clean up the mess.

"It's mainly to learn about all the past events." Jiang Feng looked around and asked casually, "Where are Madam Xie and Xie Shidu going? Why are there only the two of you?"

Where are the others? Why didn't Bai Jin come along? He thought so, but he couldn't ask.

Yun Zhihan raised his lips, seeing through it but not saying it, "Bai Yuan and I are going to meet someone. I wonder if Guard Jiang is willing to accompany us?"

"If Madam finds it convenient, I am willing to do so."

Seeing that the other party did not answer him, he decided not to ask any further questions. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway.

"Guard Jiang, this way please."

The three of them came to Tengxiang Pavilion together.

At this time, Tuoba Hong was drinking medicine. When he saw them coming, he was about to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Yun Zhihan.

"General, there's no need to be so polite." She introduced, "This is my eldest son, Bai Yuan. This is Guard Jiang."

Then, he looked at the serving girls and said, "There is nothing for you to do here. Go out first. If anyone comes, inform them in advance."

"Yes!" The little girls retreated one after another.

Jiang Feng then asked curiously, "Madam, who is this?"

"This is General Tuoba, a friend of my husband."

Hearing this name, Jiang Feng's expression suddenly changed, "General Tuoba? Are you Tuoba Hong?"

"That's me. Guard Jiang, do you know me?"

Not only Tuoba Hong was curious, but even Yun Zhihan and Xie Baiyuan were surprised. Have these two people met before?

Jiang Feng was seen kneeling on one knee and bowing.

"General Tuoba, do you still remember the little follower who used to be by General Xie's side?"

Tuoba Hong's eyes lit up, he helped him up, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you Jiang Feng? You've grown this big?"

"Yes! General Tuoba, I haven't seen you for many years. Why do you look like this?" He has aged a lot.

Yun Zhihan shook his head silently. This child's emotional intelligence was really worrying. No wonder Jin'er was so careless.

Xie Boyuan's focus was only on these two people. "Do you two know each other?"

Jiang Feng explained, "To be honest with you, Mr. Xie, I have always been your father's soldier, but I was still young at that time, so I could only help him and could not go to the battlefield."

"But how did General Tuoba get injured? Who did it?"

Yun Zhihan sighed, after reminiscing about the past for so long, they finally got back to the point.

"General Tuoba, can you tell me the purpose of your trip? And what exactly is going on with all that you've been through?"

Tuoba Hong nodded and recalled, "Three months ago, the Southern Kingdom sent troops to attack the Dongyue Kingdom. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent troops to repel them and captured several prisoners."

"Through interrogation, we found that among these people, there are not only people from the South, but also people from the Great Zhou, and they are not a minority."

Jiang Feng was no longer calm, and asked, "General Tuoba, please be careful with your words. Our Great Zhou Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom have always lived in peace, and we have even married a princess. How could we send troops to attack our ally?"

"Guard Jiang, don't get excited. Just listen to me and tell you slowly." Tuoba Hong continued, "We didn't believe it at first, but after some torture, we confirmed that these people were telling the truth."

"But this order was not issued by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom. As for whose conspiracy it was, these captives don't know either."

"Dongyue is currently experiencing internal strife. The Emperor of Dongyue, my father, is seriously ill and may not live long. The Crown Prince is fighting for the throne with his uncles, but it remains to be seen whether he can win in the end."

"I think that before we can resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation. No matter who gives the order, we cannot become an enemy of the Great Zhou at this time, otherwise the situation in Dongyue will become more complicated."

"So, I came to the Great Zhou Kingdom in disguise to get some information. Brother Songlin is the only friend I have made in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and he is also my sworn brother who will live and die with me."

"I thought of coming to his house to inquire about it. Besides, we once made a promise to each other that no matter who died, we would do our best to take care of his family."

"But I only learned about Brother Songlin's death last year. If it weren't for the attack from the South Country, I would have come here earlier."

"If the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom treats you well, I will go back with peace of mind. If he treats you badly, I will take you back to the Kingdom of Dongyue and protect you."

When Yun Zhihan heard this, he was shocked.

"General Tuoba, this idea is not acceptable. Let's not talk about whether the Great Zhou Kingdom will allow you to do this. Even your wife and children cannot allow it, right?"

Wife and children? Tuoba Hong glanced at her and replied, "I am alone, who would care?"
