Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375: Special Agent 370 has turned into a commoner (16) at the first update

Seeing Duan Yunxiu, Yang Ziji was stunned for several minutes before reacting.

The arrival was too swift, wasn’t it?

Even with fast horses and relentless whipping, it would take a month from the Imperial City to here.

Now, it had been only about twenty days; could it be that the Emperor rushed over as soon as he received the secret letter?

The princess of the Barbarian Country, who had never seen the Emperor of the Central Plains, took a wary step back upon seeing the man who appeared out of nowhere and was in no way inferior to Ye Shaohua, "Who are you?"

Duan Yunxiu didn’t pay her any attention at all.

The Barbarian princess wanted to say more when, at that moment, her brother’s complexion suddenly changed.

They didn’t know when, but the troops Duan Yunxiu brought had already surrounded them.

General Xie, although stationed in the Borderland for a long time, also recognized the Emperor.

He looked at himself, going from being a prisoner to a victor and then at the orders Duan Yunxiu issued one after another, finally realizing that it wasn’t a dream.

"Your Majesty? How did you suddenly appear?" He half-knelt on the ground, his face showing excitement and surprise.

Duan Yunxiu waved his hand, "General Xie, you’ve worked hard. This was a strategy devised by the military advisor and myself. Fortunately, we were not too late, otherwise the losses would have been great."

"You can say that again," General Xie grinned, "If you were a step later, the military advisor would have almost become the Barbarian Country’s son-in-law."

The military advisor was skilled in both literature and martial arts and also full of wisdom. If he were captured by the people of the Barbarian Country, their losses would have been too great.

General Xie had completely forgotten how he initially resented Ye Shaohua.

"Is that so?" Duan Yunxiu said lightly.

For some reason, General Xie always felt a chilling sharpness intermixed within that light voice.

But they had won a complete victory, took back all the lost land, and the Barbarian Country had submitted. For at least ten years, they would not have the grain or military strength to return. What could the Emperor possibly be dissatisfied with?

General Xie felt that he might have been mistaken.

Duan Yunxiu looked at the grass clippings on top of Ye Shaohua’s head and reached out to remove them.

"You’ve come quite early," Ye Shaohua dusted off her sleeves, speaking leisurely, "I thought it would be at least three days later."

That tone when speaking to the Emperor, isn’t it too disrespectful?

General Xie glanced at Yang Ziji, aware that General Yang was familiar with the Emperor, but even he wouldn’t dare to speak so casually to the Emperor.

However, Yang Ziji was also quite close to the military advisor, and realizing this, the straightforward General Xie did not give it a second thought.

That night, the Military Camp celebrated wildly until dawn.

In just two days, they would gather troops and return to the Imperial City.

Ye Shaohua knew that the news of their feigned defeat had surely reached the Ye Residence. Although she had left instructions for the manager of Changchun Building and the staff of Xuange to look after Aunt Mei,

her mind was still not at ease.

She did not accompany the main force; the ten thousand-strong army moved too slowly.

Ye Shaohua, along with Duan Yunxiu and Yang Ziji, hurried back with the messenger riding fast.

Half a month later.

Ye Residence, Pear Garden.

"Auntie, don’t go looking for the old lady and the others anymore," over the past month, Liuliu had seen Aunt Mei grow haggard, "even if you send good things their way, they won’t help you inquire about the fourth young master’s news."

Ye Shaohua had been on campaign for over a year. Although she and Aunt Mei weren’t cared for by the household, they had managed to live leisurely.

But since the news of the army’s defeat and capture of all military leaders a month ago, everyone in the Imperial City panicked.

Aunt Mei, a person from within a secluded great mansion, was entirely unaware of the outside world’s situation.

She could only seek out informants about Ye Shaohua’s whereabouts everywhere.

Today, relatives from Ye Family’s maternal side came, and Aunt Mei gave away her last valuable possession—the beautiful glass lamp decoration that Yang Ziji had gifted her for her birthday.

In the technologically underdeveloped ancient times, glass was an extremely rare piece to display.

Only Xuange sold such precious items, and with just one available per month, its value was astronomical. Nearly every single piece was requisitioned for the Palace.

Others, even if they wanted to buy, simply couldn’t get one.

Compared to Ye Shaohua, the runner-up of the same exam session had already married a princess and become a Fourth-grade official. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}
