Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Urgent Military Situation at the Border
Chapter 64 -64 Urgent Military Situation at the Border
Zhan Lan stared intently and saw Zhan Beicang dressed in black practice clothes, standing tall with a smile on his face.
His voice was rough, “Wow, Lan, you sure can do it!”
The moment Zhan Lan saw her father, she felt a warmth all over. She stood up and paid her respects, “General Zhan, you’ve arrived!”
Zhan Beicang cheerfully beckoned for the servants behind him to come in, and three boxes were carried in on a pole.
“These are some food and daily necessities, along with some military books and martial arts secrets I read in my youth. Uncle knows you like these!”
Zhan Lan smiled slightly, “Thank you, General Zhan!”
Zhan Beicang’s face immediately fell when he heard Zhan Lan address him that way, and he said unhappily, “Hey, it’s been a year and you, girl, have become even more beautiful, but also more distant!”
Zhan Lan hesitantly replied, “Yes, Mr. Zhan.”
Even though Zhan Beicang adopted her as his foster daughter, he always respected Lan’s late “father.”
Zhan Beicang was her “foster father,” and Zhan Lan always called Zhan Beicang Mr. Zhan.
Now, she alone in all of Nanjin knew that this man before her was truly her father!
“How is your mother?” Zhan Beicang then went to see Lady Li.
After seeing her, he walked out of Lady Li’s room with furrowed brows and a solemn expression, turning around to ask Zhan Lan who was behind him.
“Is your mother just continuously asleep like this?”
Zhan Lan nodded, “Her body is slowly recovering, but she hasn’t woken up yet. The doctor comes regularly.”
Zhan Beicang sighed, “Your mother really did her utmost to protect Rou’er. Our Zhan Family owes your family!”
Zhan Lan didn’t respond. Lady Li was still unconscious, and there was still no news on the whereabouts of the two midwives.
It was currently impossible to acknowledge her ancestry and switch back identities with Zhan Xuerou.
But one day, Zhan Beicang would realize why Lady Li fought so hard to protect Zhan Xuerou!
Because she is her biological daughter!
“Mr. Zhan, you didn’t attend the court today?” Zhan Lan tentatively asked.
Considering the major incident that happened yesterday, and Zhan Beicang being home so early today,
it must be that Emperor Xuanwu had taken some action, otherwise, Zhan Beicang wouldn’t have returned to the General Mansion at this time.
Zhan Beicang’s bushy eyebrows knitted together as he gave a bitter smile.
He casually sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and carelessly said, “In the future, Uncle can now join you in training at the old residence. Yesterday, something happened to Zhan Peng in the palace, and His Majesty has retracted my military command!”

Zhan Lan, although prepared, didn’t expect Emperor Xuanwu to go to such lengths.
She feigned surprise, “It seems His Majesty is truly furious this time, no worries, Mr. Zhan, you are a pillar of the nation. I believe it won’t be long before you can lead troops into battle again!”
Thinking Zhan Lan was consoling him, Zhan Beicang stood up and smiled saying, “Let’s go, let’s go practice at the old house. I saw just now that your reaction speed is really good!”
Zhan Lan nodded in agreement, her sandbag weights still tied around her legs.
Although very tired, now she would be training with her father.
Such an opportunity, for the first time in fourteen years.
Even if exhausted, Zhan Lan cherished it dearly!
Following behind Zhan Beicang, she looked at his towering figure like a mountain, feeling safe and at ease.
Soon, Emperor Xuanwu would surely reinstate her father.
Now was definitely not the time for the Zhan Family to crumble!
…
Zhan Beicang stayed at home for seven days, sparring with Zhan Lan every day and taught her many things.
He increasingly saw his own traits in Zhan Lan.
Strong, optimistic, loves drinking and eating meat, unconcerned with trifles, and unafraid of difficulties.
Sometimes he is a bit cunning, which is unlike him.
Zhan Beicang, smiling, lifted the large bowl to drink water while watching Zhan Lan practice and thought: If it comes to marching and fighting, Zhan Lan’s agile mind might just create unexpected victories!
Zhan Beicang’s hand trembled, and the cold water spilled onto his shoes.
He put down the large bowl, startled by his own thoughts.
Zhan Lan seemed to have the potential to become a female general.
Zhan Beicang’s eyes dimmed, wishing she were a man, how good that would be!
He was reluctant to let a girl suffer and struggle in the army camp, fighting amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
At that moment, a young officer hurriedly came to Zhan Beicang’s side and whispered something into his ear.
Zhan Beicang immediately stood up and left with a solemn expression.
Zhan Lan watched Zhan Beicang rush away.
She put down the spear in her hand, calculated the days, and realized that the military situation at the frontier should have been delivered to the palace by now!
…
Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xuanwu urgently summoned Zhan Beicang to the palace.
Their meeting took place in the Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Xuanwu handed over the latest military reports from the frontier to Zhan Beicang.
Zhan Beicang frowned as he read through all the content, “Your Majesty, this…”
The report stated: Yesterday, a group of three hundred elite Western Rong assassins attacked the Zhan Family Army’s main general, Zhan Xincheng was injured.
Emperor Xuanwu grimly said: “You are going home on leave, and it must not be publicized. Now, it is rumored that you are the one who got injured, and the Western Rong squad has been annihilated. I anticipate the Western Rong will take further actions, and you must return to the frontier as soon as possible!”
Zhan Beicang and Zhan Xincheng, the two brothers, are very similar in appearance, so now the false news of Zhan Beicang being injured has already spread to Western Rong.
They are not yet aware that the actual person injured is Zhan Xincheng.
Confident that Zhan Beicang is injured, Western Rong will definitely take further actions, perhaps even deploying a large army to pressure the border.
Although it is a crisis, it is also an opportunity, a perfect time for Nanjin to restrain Western Rong!
Emperor Xuanwu saw that Zhan Beicang was silent and thought to himself: Is Zhan Beicang still angry about the dismissal of his military power?
“Beicang, a few days ago, I was hot-headed, the military power is still yours. If you can turn the tide in this battle, at least for the next ten years Western Rong wouldn’t dare to encroach, ensuring peace for the people of Nanjin!”
Emperor Xuanwu took out the Tiger Talisman and personally handed it to Zhan Beicang.
After thinking thrice, Zhan Beicang then accepted the Tiger Talisman and said, “Your servant obeys the command!”
Emperor Xuanwu nodded, satisfied.
Zhan Beicang hurried back to the General Mansion and immediately led people back to the frontier.
Zhan Hui, upon learning that his second uncle was seriously injured and that the frontier is in need of people, also went to join the expedition with his father.
Zhan Lan accompanied Zhan Beicang and Zhan Hui to the outskirts of the city; the group took a back path, careful not to leak any news.
Zhan Hui instructed Zhan Lan, “Take good care of yourself, if anything arises you can seek help from my mother and grandfather!”
Zhan Lan naturally understood what Zhan Hui meant, that these two are reliable if she faces any bullying in the mansion.
“And also…” Zhan Hui hesitated.
“What is it, big brother?” Zhan Lan curiously asked.
“No, nothing!” Zhan Hui had a letter in his embrace.
He was conflicted, as going to the frontier meant facing a tough battle!
The outcome of life and death uncertain, he decided not to hand over the letter for now!
