Xiao Yeyang’s return put the hearts of all the generals and soldiers at ease.
Everyone was no fool; they all knew under whose command they fared better and had brighter prospects, like a scale in their hearts. Xiao Yeyang could bring them more benefits than Wei Hong, so they naturally leaned toward Xiao Yeyang.
As for Wei Hong being arrested by Xiao Yeyang as soon as he returned, the generals present tactfully kept silent, neither asking further questions nor leaking any news.
In this way, Wei Hong was secretly imprisoned by Xiao Yeyang.
"Our battle with Xiliao is unresolved, and Xiliang cannot fall into chaos internally."
Xiao Yeyang entrusted Bu Gandang with the personal supervision of Wei Hong, then ordered Cao Dan, and Master Wang to manage the military affairs, before he quickly left the tent, eager to see Daohua and Gu Jian.

Daohua and Gu Jian had already received the news, and both were standing in front of the military tent, craning their necks toward the fortress gate.
When they saw Xiao Yeyang riding out of the gate, Daohua’s face lit up with joy, unable to contain her longing. Without regard for anything else, she ran straight toward Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang, seeing Daohua rushing toward him, sped up his horse’s pace. When he was just a few meters away from Daohua, he suddenly pulled the reins sharply, then flipped off the horse before it had even stabilized, landing on the ground.
Daohua, who had just been running fast, now stopped in her tracks upon seeing Xiao Yeyang dismount and just stood there, gazing steadily at him.
Xiao Yeyang smiled and walked forward, swiftly embracing Daohua: "I’m back!"
Daohua hugged Xiao Yeyang tight, the familiar scent calming her anxious heart.
Xiao Yeyang knew he had made his family worry this time and said with some self-reproach: "I was reckless this time. It definitely won’t happen again."
Daohua looked up: "You said it yourself, you have to keep your word."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded: "If I break my promise in the future, you can deal with me however you like!"
Daohua, not saying anything further, glanced at the many soldiers standing on the city wall, watching them. She suddenly felt embarrassed and hurriedly let go of Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang, reluctant, did not let go of the hand embracing Daohua.
Daohua hurriedly twisted his waist: "The soldiers on the city wall are watching, let go of me now."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang burst into laughter, and while Daohua glared at him, he took her hand and walked toward Gu Jian.
After the two approached, Gu Jian sized up Xiao Yeyang and seeing that he was just a bit tired and suffered no other harm, Gu Jian felt relieved.
Nevertheless, the old man couldn’t help but admonish him a few words.
Xiao Yeyang obediently listened, offering no objections.
After Gu Jian’s lecture and seeing that Xiao Yeyang’s attitude of acknowledgment was acceptable, he let him be: "Alright, go back and clean up and rest a bit."
With that, he turned to leave, walking a few steps before turning back to ask: "Where’s Chu Lang?"
Xiao Yeyang: "He went back to Ganzhou City first."
Gu Jian ’Hmm’ed and didn’t ask anything more.
Back in the tent, while Daohua prepared toiletries for Xiao Yeyang, she said: "Uncle Chu truly holds mother at the top of his heart."
"This time, as soon as I spoke up, he agreed. He was so straightforward, all for mother’s sake. You should be nicer to Uncle Chu in the future."
Xiao Yeyang’s expression was somewhat complicated; indeed, they owed Chu Lang for getting out of Death Swamp safely. In fact, Chu Lang had helped him several times, and he remembered the favor, but for someone who took away his mother, he just couldn’t bring himself to like him.
Daohua understood Xiao Yeyang’s feelings and handed him a hot towel: "Between people, even if you don’t quite like each other, you can still coexist peacefully."
