Chapter 59: Fu Chen’an’s Return ( 1 )

Usually, everyone would only get two steamed buns, but since they had won the battle, the General ordered the military cook to give the soldiers an extra steamed bun.

Fu Chen’an swallowed when he saw three big steamed buns made from mixed white flour and millet flour. The buns were as big as a bowl and were very fragrant.

After getting his buns, the cook scooped a ladle of stir-fried pickled vegetables and added a spoonful of lard residue for him. His bowl was almost overflowing from this.

When he thought that he was already getting an advantage from them, the last cook gave him a bowl of braised pork and said, ”Squad Leader Fu, this is your reward from the Battalion Commander Gao.”

Hearing this, Fu Chen’an nodded and said, ”Thank you.”

The surrounding soldiers saw that Fu Chen’an received extra dishes, and some of them looked at him with jealousy, but most of them were full of admiration and awe toward him.

If not for him risking his life to save the General, they might not have been able to win this war. Therefore, giving him additional meat and food was not too much.

While everyone thought that he was brave and talented, only Fu Chen’an knew that if not for the medicinal water given by his wife, not only would the General not have been able to survive the critical injury, but even he would not have had the strength to escape, let alone carry him back.

After he got his food, Fu Chen’an took a seat and started to eat. Five minutes later, Xiao Wei sat beside him and said, ”Chen’an, we might be able to return to the barracks tomorrow.”

He had heard about this and let out a soft hum.

Noticing his nonchalant attitude, Xiao Wei asked, ”Don’t you miss your wife?”

The moment he heard this, Fu Chen’an recalled his wife’s cute smile and couldn’t help but feel longing for her. His chopsticks stopped moving for a second before he continued eating.

Although he said nothing, Xiao Wei knew that his friend’s feelings for his wife were not as shallow as people thought. He saw him often caressing the gourd given by Yao Zhi in the middle of the night. He clearly likes his wife.

Not wanting his friend to feel sad, he changed the topic and said in a low voice, ”I heard about your merit this time. When we go back, you might be promoted to a Centurion.”

”I just got promoted, it’s impossible for me to get promoted again,” Fu Chen’an replied.

Thinking about this, Xiao Wei nodded and stopped the discussion. While he did not say it out loud, he knew that without promotion, Fu Chen’an would still receive some monetary rewards.

After all, he was literally the General’s benefactor now. He should at least be rewarded. Otherwise, people would say that the General was ungrateful.

When the soldiers were eating and resting, Lu Qianxuan and his subordinates had already finished their meetings.

Receiving the orders, the Commanders went to make arrangements. Except for the soldiers who were recruited locally, the rest of the soldiers will return to the military barracks tomorrow.

Under the busy schedule, another day passed.

Early in the morning, before sunrise, Lu Qianxuan rode his horse, and with a raise of his hand, he shouted, ”Move out!”

As his words fell, his horse trotted forward, and the army marched out of the fortress town. The White Tiger Army’s flag fluttered as their footsteps shook the ground.

In the afternoon, the news of the White Tiger Army winning the battle had traveled to several border towns and cities. Sitting inside the pavilion, two middle-aged men enjoyed their tea with a smile on their lips.

After a while, one of them finally said, ”Brother Wang, this time it is thanks to you that my family is not only able to avoid losing money, but we are even able to earn some money.”

Hearing this, Master Wang smiled and replied modestly, ”Brother Luo, you are too polite. Our families have been friends for generations, and the two of us grew up together. It is only natural for us to help each other.”

Master Luo’s smile deepened when he heard his words. The so-called friendship was nothing more than their grandmothers being bosom friends. But that relationship had already passed for too long to be counted. Even in their younger days, they rarely had contact.

But both of them were merchants who prioritized benefits above all. Since they understood the situation, there was no need to say too many words.

After they exchanged some pleasantries, Master Luo finally said, ”Brother Wang, I heard that that person had been looking for the one selling grains to the General’s Mansion. Has he found that person?”

Master Wang knew that the one he was talking about was Young Master Jin, and the person he was looking for was the merchant from the south.

The Wang family had more connections compared to the Luo family, so he naturally knew that Young Master Jin found nothing.

Recalling how angry that young man was, he sneered and said, ”Just a yellow-haired brat, and he thought that he was a person with great wisdom. If not for his family’s relationship with the one inside the palace, did he think we would give him so much face?”

Hearing this, Master Luo chuckled and said, ”I also think so. After all, even the General Mansion was unable to find anything about that person. How could that person be able to find him?”

”Since this matter has nothing to do with us, we should not interfere,” Master Wang added.

The two of them chatted for another half an hour before they left the pavilion.

Not knowing that someone was looking for her, Yao Zhi was currently boiling water while the Yang brothers built her kitchen wall.

Due to the hot weather, they were sweating profusely. Fearing that they would get heatstroke or suffer from dehydration, she boiled a big pot of water.
