The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback

Chapter 1179 - 1181: Princess Mo Takes the Top Merit

Fortunately, there is somewhat of a result. This time, not only was the battle outcome impressive, but the losses were lower than originally anticipated!

The Emperor was overjoyed. Upon hearing the news that Yu Siqiao and others were returning, he sent the trusted Imperial Guard Commander to greet them.

Everyone cherished the Great General who had pacified the northern war. Along with the welcoming procession, there were drums and gongs along the way, and many people, including the citizens, stretched their necks to catch a glimpse.

The returning army swiftly entered the city. As Yu Siqiao was spotted from afar, the Imperial Guard Commander’s face lit up with a joyful smile and exclaimed, "Welcome back General Song and Prince Consort to the Capital!"

The head of the army was General Song, who, upon seeing his old friend, laughed openly, dismounted immediately, and went forth to greet him.

The way iron-willed men greeted each other was by extending their fists and forcefully bumping them together.

Both laughed heartily, giving each other a big embrace before standing side by side.

The Imperial Guard Commander looked at him and quipped, "Look at you, tanned and thin, all the weight you gained in the Capital over the years is gone?"

General Song smiled wryly, "Don’t mention it. Those scoundrels did things that were truly inhuman. Fortunately, I had Qiao Cang to assist me!"

Saying this, he turned towards Yu Siqiao, who had already dismounted, and said, "Qiao Cang, come over."

Yu Siqiao walked over gracefully, while Mo Shu, still on horseback, also jumped down and approached upon hearing.

Yu Siqiao cupped his hands and politely said, "Commander Gao."

Commander Gao quickly replied, "Not at all, Prince Consort, you have achieved great deeds this time. The Emperor will certainly reward you. In the future, your rank might be even higher than mine."

Yu Siqiao remained unchanged and said, "Commander Gao, you jest. It was merely my duty. It was my fortune that the Emperor allowed Cang to assist General Song. If credit were to be given, it’s General Song who deserves the most!"

General Song laughed heartily, "Don’t be so modest. If it weren’t for your help this time, I couldn’t guarantee such a splendid completion!"

As he spoke, Mo Shu had already come over.

General Song glanced at Mo Shu and said with emotion, "It’s quite embarrassing. When the Princess recommended you to the Emperor, I once doubted you. Who would have thought, in the end, I had to bask in your glory? This time, if it weren’t for your repeated interventions stopping me, I fear I would have fallen into the despicable traps set by those Southern Border Country people. If I had really misstepped, at best I would have died alone, at worst a resounding defeat," saying this, he cupped his hands towards Yu Siqiao, "Many thanks, Brother Qiao!"

Yu Siqiao immediately helped him up, saying, "General Song, you’re too kind. If it weren’t for your leading presence, Cang certainly wouldn’t have been able to analyze calmly. Thus, it’s mutual support between us that led to this success. Thanks to General Song for fulfilling my bold ideas."

Just as General Song was about to say something, the Imperial Guard Commander burst into laughter and shouted, "You two should stop being modest. This time, you both will undoubtedly receive due credit, but for the top honor, it belongs to Princess Mo!"

"Oh?" Mo Shu sauntered over and said coolly, "What does it have to do with me?"

The Imperial Guard Commander was startled, hadn’t noticed the young lad, and even less realized it was Princess Mo, hastily saluted.

Mo Shu waved it off, saying, "No need, but why am I awarded the top honor when I haven’t done anything."
