A black figure came into Gu Shengyin's sight from afar.
He was wearing a thick black cloak, and his face looked haggard.
His face seemed to be thinner, and his skin was darker. His eyes were colder.
His aura was more frightening.
This was the evil spirit accumulated from human blood in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Even Gu Shengyin saw that the guards standing beside Shi Lei were sweating profusely on such a cold day.
Of course, it was not because of the heat.
In fact, even Gu Shengyin's first impulse when he saw him was to draw his sword.
Their eyes met.
The two of them looked at each other quietly, without any extra movements.
They all understood the meaning in their eyes.
Gu Shengyin spoke first, "General Shi, I am here to welcome you back under the orders of my father."
Shi Lei bowed in the direction of the main hall, and then he bowed to Gu Shengyin, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The eunuchs beside them did not dare to say anything.
They could not express their feelings. They only felt that when the two of them were together, the atmosphere was so tense that no one dared to disturb them.
When the two of them left, the guards at the gate of the palace sighed in relief.
"They finally left. You didn't see that when General Shi was standing here, my hand never left the long sword at my waist.
"Brother, you are amazing. You even wanted to draw your sword. I almost fell to the ground."
The two guards were discussing in a low voice. They looked at each other and their eyes were filled with shock.
It was too scary. He could do this with just one look.
Gu Shengyin and Shi Lei walked side by side. The two of them were very close to each other. In the eyes of outsiders, General Shi was the princess's trusted aide, so it was normal for them to have a good relationship. There was nothing wrong with it.
Only the two of them knew that under the cover of their sleeves, their hands were tightly clasped together.
Shi Lei held her hand tightly, but he did not dare to use too much strength.
It was as if he had placed all his attention on the hand that was holding the other person's.
Later, when he presented his achievements, what awaited him would be countless praises and rewards.
But to Shi Lei right now, none of that mattered anymore.
He only wanted to make this road a little longer, a little longer.
It was best to let him continue walking with her like this.
But no matter how long the road was, there would always be an end. Even if they were holding hands, they would still have to part.
Gu Shengyin released his hand and the two of them walked into the main hall.
Shi Lei bowed deeply to the Emperor. Maintaining a half-kneeling posture, he raised the document in his hand — it was the Cloud Swamp Country's Emperor's surrender document.
The Emperor personally got off the main seat and pulled him up. Then, he read the letter word by word.
"Good, good, good!"
He laughed loudly as he looked at Shi Lei. Almost without hesitation, he conferred the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.
Shi Lei knelt down at this moment.
"I don't ask for a marquis, nor do I ask for a reward of a thousand gold coins. I only ask for Your Majesty to promise me one thing."
The Emperor was in a good mood and asked, "What is the matter?"
Shi Lei lowered his head and said the words that he had hidden in his heart for five years. "I ask Your Majesty to marry Princess Fei Luan to me!"
The main hall fell into silence.
The Emperor's expression froze for a moment.
Gu Shengyin held the wine cup in her hand. Even her usually calm state of mind showed a trace of nervousness.
The Emperor looked down at the man in front of him. This man was resolute and strong. Now, he had the best military achievements in the world. It was not bad for such a man to be his Luan's son-in-law.
