"That's right." Ji Fengyan nodded.
But Linghe's expression became grave.
"Miss, something… is amiss."
"Why do you say that?" Ji Fengyan was slightly taken aback.
Linghe frowned faintly and said, "When I was under your father, we also won many victories. However… I have never heard of receiving rewards just after a battle ends. One must understand that in any big battle, there will be significant losses to the troops. The kingdom must provide a certain amount of time to allow the general leading the soldiers to get his troops in order and rest for a few months before returning to the capital to receive rewards. However, the Emperor suddenly wants you to return now…"
Linghe hesitated for a moment, then asked carefully, "Miss, do you think that bastard Zhan Fei broke his promise and said something?"
Ji Fengyan shook her head. "The Heart-Devouring Curse in Zhan Fei's body has not been activated, so it is unlikely that any news has leaked out."
