On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

As soon as Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan returned to the city, they received an imperial edict from the emperor. They were recalled to the capital, and the news came that Wu Junyao was named the general of protecting the country.

"Jun Yao, this is great news!" Li Feihong was delighted, "Your efforts were not in vain."

Jiang Yanwan looked at Wu Junyao and frowned slightly: "But the emperor wants you to hand over the tiger talisman. I'm afraid this matter will not be too simple."

Wu Junyao nodded, his expression solemn: "The tiger talisman is our Wu family's heirloom, and it has always been a symbol of the late emperor's trust in our family. I have to go back and discuss this with Madam Wu."

On the way back to her hometown in Handan, the wind whistled and the carriage rushed by. Jiang Yanwan felt uneasy, because she knew that she would face a difficult decision when she returned this time.

It was dusk when they arrived at the Wu family's old house. Wu Junyao jumped off the carriage and walked quickly into the hall, where Mrs. Wu was sitting on a chair waiting for her.

"Jun Yao, you're finally back." Old Madam Wu's face was full of kindness, yet she looked exceptionally old.

Wu Junyao knelt down on one knee: "Madam Wu, I have something important to discuss with you."

"Oh, it's about the tiger talisman." Old Madam Wu's voice was very light, but it was like a heavy stone falling.

Wu Junyao nodded and explained the emperor's request in detail.

After hearing this, Madam Wu's expression suddenly changed, and her hands trembled slightly: "This tiger talisman is a token of trust given to our family by the late emperor. Now the government is unstable, what does the emperor mean by this?"

"Maybe he wants to take back power." Jiang Yanwan added.

Madam Wu took a deep breath, then suddenly pounded the table and said angrily, "I absolutely disagree! Your Majesty's actions are tantamount to trampling on the hearts of loyal ministers!"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Wu suddenly turned pale and swayed. Wu Junyao quickly supported her: "Grandma, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little stuffy." Old Madam Wu waved her hand weakly.

Wu Junyao was extremely anxious. He could understand the difficulties faced by Old Madam Wu. Jiang Yanwan consoled her: "Old Madam Wu, you should take a rest first. We will discuss this matter in the long run."

After some consolation, Mrs. Wu finally went back to her room to rest. Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan were waiting outside the door, looking at each other, feeling that the future was uncertain.

"Jun Yao, I have another idea that may be able to delay time." Jiang Yanwan suggested.

"Oh? What is it?" Wu Junyao turned and looked at her.

"We can temporarily assume that the tiger talisman is lost and take the opportunity to collect evidence to see if anyone is doing anything bad to the Wu family." Jiang Yanwan said in a low voice.

Wu Junyao thought for a moment and said, "This is a possible solution, but it is very risky. If it is not handled properly, it may anger the emperor."

While the two were deep in thought, a soldier suddenly came running over: "Jun Yao, a messenger has come from the capital, saying that the emperor has new instructions."

Wu Junyao stood up immediately: "Let's go and take a look."

The messenger did not bring the emperor's tough demands, but a gentle letter. The letter showed his trust in Wu Junyao and his recognition of his achievements on the frontier. He just hoped that he would handle family affairs carefully and come to Beijing as soon as possible.

"It seems that the emperor is not completely unreasonable." Li Feihong breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter.

"But we can't underestimate the enemy." Jiang Yanwan reminded.

That night, Wu Junyao paced in the courtyard, with countless thoughts in his mind. He knew that his mission was not just to simply guard the border, but also to protect his family in this turbulent era.

"Jun Yao, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Yanwan walked to him and asked softly.

"I'm thinking about how to find a balance between loyalty and family." Wu Junyao smiled bitterly, "This may be more complicated than any war."

Jiang Yanwan nodded silently: "We will face it together. No matter what lies ahead, we will not fight alone."

Wu Junyao held her hand gratefully, his eyes firm: "Yes, we will definitely find a solution."

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door in the distance, and an old servant came forward to report: "Master, the old lady has woken up and wants to see you."

Wu Junyao nodded: "I'll go right away."

When I entered the room, Madam Wu was already sitting up on the bed. Although her body was weak, her eyes were still firm.

"Jun Yao, I've thought it through. You can't hand over the tiger talisman." Old Madam Wu said slowly.

Wu Junyao's heart was shocked: "Grandma, don't worry, I will never let the Wu family suffer an unjust accusation."

Madam Wu nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Good boy, as long as you remember the word loyalty, there will be no obstacles that you cannot overcome."

Just as they were talking, a quick ring rang. It was the messenger who came again, bringing new news.

"General Wu, there are rebels in the capital. The emperor hopes that you can return to Kyoto immediately to help quell the rebellion." The messenger said breathlessly.

Wu Junyao frowned, and a sense of urgency suddenly arose in his heart.

"It seems that the capital is indeed not peaceful. We need to act immediately." Jiang Yanwan looked solemn.

"That's right, prepare your luggage and set off tomorrow." Wu Junyao gave the order decisively.

The next morning, as soon as the sun shone on the courtyard, the Wu family was ready to go. Passers-by in the village gathered on both sides and talked about this spectacular team.

"I heard that General Wu is going back to the capital to quell the rebellion. He is truly a brave hero."

"Yes, the Wu family has always been a pillar of the court. Master Jun Yao will definitely be able to resolve the crisis!"

"I really hope that he can return safely this time and there will be no more war."

Wu Junyao was riding on his horse, and when he heard these whispered conversations, he felt a bit of pride in his heart. He turned his head to look at Jiang Yanwan, and saw that she had the same determined expression on her face.

"Yan Wan, we have to hurry, otherwise the situation in the capital may not be optimistic." he said.

"Of course, let's work hard together." Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly and gave him an encouraging look.

As they were walking through the market, a vendor suddenly called out, "Master Wu, take these of my best pastries, and take care of yourself on the road!"

Wu Junyao laughed and took the cake: "Thank you, Uncle Zheng."

Along the way, people saw them off one after another, and the whole street was filled with a strong atmosphere of farewell. However, Wu Junyao knew that the responsibilities on his and Jiang Yanwan's shoulders could not be neglected.

After several days of non-stop travel, they finally arrived in the capital. The palace was filled with a tense atmosphere, with high walls and numerous guards.

"I heard that General Wu is back. Is he here to help the emperor put down the rebellion?"

"That's right, the Wu family's loyalty is well-known in the court."

"I hope this unrest can be quelled soon. People are fed up with this kind of life."

After entering the palace, Wu Junyao was immediately summoned. The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a solemn expression, but when he saw Wu Junyao, his expression eased a little.

"Jun Yao, it seems that you are the only one who can boost the morale of the army and make me feel at ease." said the emperor.

"I will do my best to quell the rebellion and restore peace to the world." Wu Junyao answered firmly.

At this moment, a shadow flashed outside the hall. Wu Junyao was alert for a moment, and his eyebrows slightly frowned.
