His Rui-Chapter 99 - This Lord Has His Wangfei Waiting For Him At Home

Li Diu and Yi Lei's eyes were filled with joy after Commander Xie told them how the soldier made Emperor change his decision.

Once in a while, General Li would glance at the silent Xi Ying.

Commander Xie and General Li discussed many things but Xi Ying didn't say anything.

It was evening when everything was decided. They were to leave for the Imperial City tomorrow morning.

Exiting the camp, General Li suddenly stopped Xi Ying on his way. When Li Diu and Yi Lei also stopped with him, he signed them to walk ahead.

Both the men frowned, however, obeyed him.

"Xi Ying, I am really grateful to you for saving Li and Yi Clan."

Xi Ying didn't seem to like when General Li called him by his name. General Li chuckled when he noticed this.

"You are just like your father."

A momentary stillness was there over Xi Ying's whole body when General Li mentioned his father.

"He also didn't like to be called by his name."

"Only my wangfei can call me by my name. That's what he used to say."

General Li was smiling but Xi Ying didn't feel funny at his words.

"General Li, Don't talk about my father and mother again."

He whispered harshly shocking General Li.

Coldly glaring at General Li, he stepped back and walked away from there.

While General Li continued to stand there, he couldn't help but remember the same incident of a few years back.

The difference was that before it was Xi Ying's father and his friend who had talked to him like this and today it was his son.

He never really understood why suddenly he broke their friendship?

And why Xi Ying's eyes held the blame for him when he said

'Don't talk about my father and mother.'

--------------

The evening passed and then came the night.

Xi Ying couldn't sleep the whole night. His mind was filled with different thoughts.

Thoughts of his father and mother.

Thoughts of Li Rui.

And many other things.

He just wanted to go back to Xi Manor so that he could see Li Rui again.

So as soon as the morning arrived, he came out of his camp. The soldiers were still preparing the carriages and were surprised to see him there.

When Xi Ying saw General Li and everyone else coming out of their camps, he climbed his horse and motioned his people to start the journey.

So the journey to the Imperial City started just like this.

"What is he doing? He should stop for some time. You, Li Diu, and Yi Lie are still injured and need some rest."

Commander Xie said to General Li as he looked at Xi Ying's back with full of dissatisfaction.

It has been twenty hours since they have started their journey but Xi Ying didn't stop to rest at all.

Riding his horse in the front, Xi Ying heard Commander's Xie words and turned to look at him with a sneer.

"Well, Commander This Lord is not like you and has his wangfei waiting for me at home."

Commander narrowed his eyes as Xi Ying turned around and continued moving his horse. He looked at General Li with the same eyes but General Li betrayed him mercilessly.

"Don't look at me like that. This General also has his wangfei waiting for me at home."

He also wants to go back as soon as possible and hug Yi Jie in his arms.

Commander Xie was furious.

'If you had, you had. Why the both of you need to rub it on my face? And why should all of us suffer because of your restlessness.'

The soldiers who heard the conversation chuckled and joked with Commander Xie.

The journey continued.

It was after two hours that Xi Ying finally stopped his horse. The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. They immediately built a few temporary camps.

Before going inside his camp, Xi Ying himself checked the soldiers' amount standing at various places.

After every one or two hours, he would wake up and check General Li, Li Diu, and Yi Lei's camps. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Anything could happen on the journey so he wanted to be careful.

He had promised Li Rui that he would bring her father and her brothers back to her and he would keep it till the end.

The journey to the Imperial City started again after seven hours.

After every twenty to twenty-four hours, Xi Ying would stop his horse and let the soldiers have their rest. Since this time there were many people, the journey was a little slow.

It was almost three days after Xi Ying reached the Imperial City.

From far away, a few soldiers could be seen guarding the Imperial City's entrance. However, they were not wearing Imperial guard's clothes.

They were wearing Li Clan's military clothes.

Xi Ying raised his eyebrows when he saw this. When he had left for the borders with his people they were not here. It seemed that the soldiers increased their influence in the past few days.

He wondered what the Emperor's reaction was when he had found this.

Commander Xie smiled when he reached near the soldiers.

"Tell everyone that General Li has been found."

The soldiers were surprised and for a moment didn't believe it. It was only when General Li climbed down from his horse and patted each and everyone's soldiers, they started to cheer.

A wave of happiness washed over the whole Imperial City in a few moments.

But Xi Ying's face didn't change a bit as he saw all this. His eyes were still cold as he left the soldiers and General Li there only and moved his horse forward.

General Li shook his head with a chuckle when he saw this.

The young minister was really eager to meet his (General Li) daughter.

On his way, Xi Ying wondered what his Wangfei would be doing right now.

She might be teaching Xi Ling or playing with him. He thought with a smile.

However, when he reached the Xi Manor, the situation there was completely different from his expectations.
