Liang Cheng had returned.
He returned several days later than expected, as he had not only transported back the treasures from the Helian Family's treasure house but had also, on his way, eliminated two wild people's encampments. Furthermore, he compelled these two encampments to send the sons of their chieftains to Shengle City to meet the City Lord and express their submission.
Perhaps Emperor Wu of Han was somewhat uneasy when he first sent Huo Qubing on a military campaign.
Zheng Fan, however, was entirely at ease with Liang Cheng leading the troops.
A genius commander might need an army as a touchstone, a gamble, but a veteran of veterans like Liang Cheng truly required little worry.
When the troops returned to the city, Zheng Fan personally went out to welcome them.
Amidst the pageantry of kneeling and being helped up,
Liang Cheng advanced.
It was abrupt, yet somehow perfectly natural.
