In some places, the wild garlic grows in cl.u.s.ters here and there. If she and Xue Yan were to make small garlic breads for Sanfu and Wufu to eat, they only needed to bring a cl.u.s.ter back. There was no need for so much garlic. It was also at this moment that they suddenly heard the sound of many horses.

It came from the military camp.

The sound was like iron hooves rolling over.

Immediately after, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan saw 20 to 30 generals in armor, red ta.s.seled helmets, and various battle robes hurriedly ride out of the camp and come towards them.

The person leading the group to Shao Shuting.

Slightly inferior, almost on par with Shao Shuting, was an old man.

“That’s your grandfather, right?” Jiang Yue said to Xue Yan when she saw the old man — State Duke Shao.

Xue Yan also felt that way. While looking through the window screen, he nodded.

Shao Shuting had received the news that Xue Yan was coming at noon. He had already told the generals about it, and it was time for the generals to acknowledge the Crown Prince. Thus, when he received the news that the Crown Prince was about to arrive, he immediately brought the generals in the military camp out to welcome him.

The moment the horse arrived in front of the carriage, Shao Shuting, Duke Shao, and the other generals did not dare to block the carriage’s path. They immediately pulled the carriage to the side and quickly dismounted. Then, they cupped their fists and knelt on one knee, bowed to the ground, and said,

“We pay our respects to Your Highness.”

Once the carriage came to a stop, Xue Yan hurriedly got down from the carriage and personally helped State Duke Shao up. Then, he got Shao Shuting and the others to stand up.

Shao Shuting recognized Xue Yan. Other than the fact that he was very happy to see the two little devils again, he didn’t have any other feelings. However, the other generals were all shaking. They felt that Xue Yan’s appearance was like a dragon among men. They didn’t know how they did not notice him for being the Crown Prince.

State Duke Shao was not surprised. On the contrary, he was happy to see his grandson. However, his grandson’s body was too thin. Even if he grew up, he would definitely not be burly.

Fortunately, his grandson was not his soldier.

After Xue Yan got off the carriage, Jiang Yue also got off the carriage. When she saw that Xue Yan was exchanging pleasantries with State Duke Shao, she raised her head and asked Shao Shuting, “Where is Sanfu and Wufu?”

Shao Shuting immediately squatted down and smiled at her. “Wufu is training, and Sanfu happens to be on duty today. He needs to be on patrol. I was afraid that he’ll patrol too far and hear the news, so I arranged for him to patrol around here. See, isn’t he right there?”

Jiang Yue looked in the direction Shao Shuting was pointing at and saw that after a pair of patrol teams pa.s.sed by, another person led a team of people holding spears and followed closely behind to patrol.

The person in the lead was wearing armor and carrying a saber. He was tall and mighty, and his face was as cold as steel. Who else could it be Xue Sanfu?

Xue Yan also saw it.

Immediately after, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan hurriedly walked over.

Shao Shuting, Duke Shao, and the other generals did not go over. They just waited there.

“Sanfu.” As soon as Jiang Yue and Xue Yan walked in front of Sanfu, they raised their heads and waved.

When Xue Sanfu was patrolling this area, he saw Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.

Naturally, he also saw Shao Shuting, Duke Shao, and the other generals. He also saw how Shao Shuting and the others were extremely respectful to Xue Yan. He was puzzled, but he still did not show any expression on his face.

However, Shao Shuting and the others didn’t stop Xue Yan and Jiang Yue when they came over to him.. Naturally, they allowed him to temporarily be off duty and talk to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue…
