My wife is number one in the world

"Yue'er."

Upon hearing her father's soft call, the little cutie quickly lifted her lotus feet and walked to Young Master Liu's side, stopping there.

"Hey, Yue'er is here, Father, please speak."

Liu Mingzhi turned his head slightly to look at the little cutie who had walked to his side, and said softly with a smile, "My dear daughter, after we return to the palace, you should go and find your two great-uncles and tell them about today's rewards."

Then, I instructed the two of them to make sure that the reward I had just mentioned was implemented as soon as possible.

After hearing what her father had told her, the little cutie smiled and nodded twice to Young Master Liu.

"Okay, Yue'er got it."

"As soon as we get back to the palace, I'll go straight to my two great-uncles and tell them what Father has instructed you to do."

As soon as the little cutie finished speaking in her sweet voice, Zheng Jizhong quickly bowed to Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, I thank you. Now, Xiao Yunsheng and Gao Baoshan, along with the soldiers in charge of this artillery position, have all gathered at the drill ground outside the camp. On their behalf, I thank Your Majesty for your reward."

After Your Majesty has finished catching up with all the soldiers in the western army camp, this old minister will inform Xiao Yunsheng and his brother to immediately lead the soldiers of this artillery position to personally express their gratitude to Your Majesty.”

Liu Mingzhi smiled and waved gently at Zheng Jizhong, then turned and walked towards the camp not far away.

"General, let's see how things go later!"
"Let's go, let's continue to the camp ahead."

Little cutie, Zheng Jizhong and his group saw that Young Master Liu had already started walking towards the camp ahead while they were talking, so they all immediately set off to catch up.

As Young Master Liu, Little Cutie, Zheng Jizhong, and their group walked unhurriedly toward the camp ahead.

Suddenly.

Three deep, resonant war drumbeats suddenly echoed across the drill ground outside the military camp.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

As soon as the three deep and resonant war drumbeats subsided, everyone instinctively turned their heads to look towards the training ground outside the camp.

At this moment, Liu Dashao and his group all understood that the more than 10,000 soldiers on the training ground outside the military camp had all assembled.

Zheng Jizhong turned his head and immediately raised his hands to bow to Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Upon hearing Zheng Jizhong's question, Liu Mingzhi slowly withdrew his gaze.

Immediately, after a moment's thought, he turned slightly to look at Qin Shaoguang to his right rear.

"Shaoguang, go to the drill ground outside the camp immediately and tell the soldiers there to wait for a while."

After I've finished touring the main camp, I'll head to the drill ground to catch up with the soldiers.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shaoguang quickly raised his hands and clasped them together in a fist salute to Young Master Liu.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey."

However, no sooner had Qin Shaoguang finished speaking than the group heard the sound of galloping hooves behind them before he could turn around and leave.

Upon hearing the sudden sound of horses' hooves, Liu Mingzhi and his group instinctively turned around to look in the direction of the sound.

Amidst the slightly surprised gazes of Young Master Liu and his group, Chen Yang, the battalion commander of the Gale Battalion under the banner of the Vanguard Army, was galloping towards them on horseback.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yang was less than twenty steps away from Young Master Liu, Little Cutie, Zheng Jizhong, and the group of generals.

"Shut up!"

"唏伦~"

Before his warhorse had even come to a complete stop, Chen Yang nimbly jumped off its back and then galloped excitedly towards Young Master Liu and his group.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, this old minister has come to see you."

While shouting loudly, Chen Yang quickly ran towards Young Master Liu, who was looking at him with a smile.

After he strode up to Young Master Liu, he didn't immediately greet him. Instead, he opened his arms and gave Young Master Liu a big bear hug.

"Hahaha, four or five years have passed since we parted years ago, and this old minister has finally seen Your Majesty again."

Soon, Chen Yang released his grip on Young Master Liu.

Immediately, he first took two steps back, then knelt down on one knee before Young Master Liu and his daughter, Little Cutie, with a respectful expression.

"Your humble servant Chen Yang pays his respects to Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess."

Long live the Emperor! Long live the Princess! Long live the Princess!

Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and casually tugged at the front of his shirt, then cheerfully waved to Chen Yang, who was bowing to him.

"Alright, no need for formalities."

The little cutie smiled and nodded slightly, then raised her slender arm and gently supported Chen Yang's fair hand.

"Uncle Chen, no need for formalities."

"This old minister thanks Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess."

After Chen Yang loudly thanked him, he stood up from the ground with a big smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has been presumptuous and disrespectful just now."

Your Majesty, you are a magnanimous person, please don't hold it against this old minister!

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi looked at Chen Yang, who was all smiles, and shook his head slightly, feigning annoyance.

"Chen Hanzi, Chen Hanzi, it's been years since I last saw you, and you're still as stupid as ever."

You, what can I even say about you!
Fortunately, our meeting was in private, and General Zheng and the other brothers knew your character well, which is why they didn't stop you.

If this were a formal occasion, and I had guards by my side, wouldn't you be afraid that my guards would mistake your actions for an attempt to assassinate the king?

In such a situation, what if one of the guards is quick enough?

"Then, you'll die a truly unjust death!"

After listening to Young Master Liu's light, unfriendly scolding, Chen Yang grinned and chuckled.

"Hehehe, hehe~ hehehehehe."

"Your Majesty, I may be a bit simple-minded, but I am not a brainless fool."

Your Majesty, I only dared to give you a bear hug after confirming that there were no imperial guards around. If there had been imperial guards with you, I wouldn't have dared to do such a thing, even if I had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard!
This old minister is still young; I haven't lived enough yet!

Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, haha~ ahahahaha."

After his loud laughter gradually subsided, Young Master Liu turned his head and glanced at Zheng Jizhong, Zhang Yaohe, Li Zhihai, and the group of generals.

"Hey, old general, brothers, you've all seen it now, haven't you?"
Who says this Chen Hanzi is really stupid? Let me tell you, this bastard is shrewd as a bat!
When you deal with him, you all have to keep your eyes wide open.

Anyone who mistakes him for a fool is the real fool!
As soon as Liu Mingzhi made this teasing remark, Zheng Jizhong and the others immediately chuckled.

"Your Majesty is right. This old minister will be more discerning when dealing with General Chen in the future."

"Brothers, you all heard what His Majesty just said, didn't you? You all heard it, didn't you?"
As I've said before, Old Chen may appear honest and simple, but he's actually full of wicked schemes.

"His Majesty is truly wise; he exposed the true nature of that scoundrel, Old Chen, in an instant."

"Your Majesty is right. We must be more careful when dealing with you in the future."

"Old Chen, you've finally met your match!"

"Your Majesty, you don't know, this old minister always..."

"..."

Hearing the chatter of his brothers, Chen Yang quickly raised his hand and waved it vigorously a few times.

"Go away, go away, go away! What are you all meddling in for? Why are you all joining in this nonsense?"

Immediately afterwards, he turned his gaze to Young Master Liu with a look of grievance on his face.

"Your Majesty, aren't you undermining this old minister's reputation?"

Seeing Chen Yang's "aggrieved" expression, Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath with his lips slightly parted, then chuckled and gently shook his head.

"Alright, alright, let's stop joking around."

Why didn't you wait for me at the drill ground outside the camp? Why did you come inside the camp?

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's question, Chen Yang immediately adopted a serious expression and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, I have come here to inform you that all the soldiers in the main camp in the west of the city have assembled and are ready to be inspected by Your Majesty and Her Highness the Princess."

As Chen Yang spoke solemnly, he suddenly chuckled a few times.

"Hehehe, Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, it was originally supposed to be General Zheng's personal guards who informed you of this matter."

However, because I am closer to the eastern gate of the camp, I came ahead of time to meet Your Majesty.”

Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, tilting his head slightly to look towards the drill ground to the east of the camp.

"We just heard the drumbeats here, and I was just about to send Shaoguang to the training ground to deliver the message to you!"
As a result, before Shaoguang could even set off, you had already arrived.

Alright, now that you've come all this way, you can go and deliver the message to the soldiers on the training ground!

Chen Yang, you immediately return to the drill ground outside the main camp and tell the soldiers there that I will take a stroll around the main camp before catching up with them at the drill ground.

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's instructions, Chen Yang grinned sheepishly and gently scratched his neck a few times.

"Hehehe, hehe~ hehehehehe."

"Your Majesty, well, well, since you've already instructed Brother Qin to deliver the message, why don't you just have him go to the training ground to deliver the message?"

"It's been several years since I last saw you, Your Majesty. I'd like to catch up with you a little longer!"

As soon as Chen Yang uttered those few chuckled words, Qin Shaoguang immediately became displeased.

"Hey, hey, Old Chen, what the hell are you saying?"

"Back in the day, we brothers went to war together. So you're the only one who hasn't seen His Majesty for years?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately turned to Qin Shaoguang and retorted loudly, "Brother Qin, you had already spent so much time with His Majesty on the small hill two miles away earlier."

Now that I've finally managed to see His Majesty, please allow me to spend some time with him and catch up with him!
Brother Qin, my dear brother, I'm begging you.

If you'll give me that much face, when I'm on vacation, I'll treat you to a good meal at the best restaurant in the capital.

At that time, as long as it does not exceed one hundred taels of silver.

Uh, eighty taels!
Um, um, as long as it's no more than fifty taels of silver, good brother, just order whatever you like, I won't hesitate.

Brother Qin, how is it?

Upon hearing the conditions Chen Yang promised him, Qin Shaoguang's eyes lit up and he raised an eyebrow.

"Brother Chen, are you sure?"

Chen Yang nodded vigorously without hesitation, then raised his right hand and patted his chest several times.

"A real man keeps his word, brother. I will absolutely do what I say."

Upon hearing Chen Yang's solemn reply, Qin Shaoguang immediately turned around with a smile and cupped his hands in greeting to Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, this old minister will go to the drill ground outside the camp to deliver a message to the brothers."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi first looked at Qin Shaoguang, then at Chen Yang, who had a simple and honest smile on his face, and nodded with a smile.

"Well, let's go."

"This old minister shall take his leave now."

After Qin Shaoguang left quickly, Young Master Liu glanced at Chen Yang with a slightly helpless expression.

"Chen Hanzi, Chen Hanzi, what the hell should I say about you!"

I just praised you a few times, and you're already acting like a jerk again.

I've come to the capital of the Great Food Kingdom not to stay for ten days or half a month before setting off to return our Great Dragon. We brothers will have plenty of time to catch up later.

You son of a bitch, just because you wanted to spend a little more time catching up with me, you're going to take out a month's salary to treat Shaoguang to a meal.

"What's wrong? You think you have too much money and nowhere to spend it?"

Hearing Young Master Liu's light, unfriendly scolding, Chen Yang grinned sheepishly.

"Your Majesty, this old minister dares to call you Commander-in-Chief, and even more so, dares to call myself brother."

General, it's been so many years since we brothers last met.

I am truly happy to be able to meet the Commander-in-Chief today.

For the sake of the commander-in-chief, and for the sake of our brotherhood, it's just a mere month's salary.

Worth it! Worth it! It was all worth it! (End of Chapter)
