Bab 734: Something Is Amiss (2)

"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."
