"My husband has returned? Is he safe? Is he hurt?!" Mrs. Han stood up in agitation, asking one question after another.
Daqing said, "Company Commander Zhang is fine, but quite a few of the accompanying soldiers were wounded."
Most likely they ran into the retreating Rong people.
"Father led troops into the city? Then he must look very mighty. I want to go see Father!" Brother Yi was very excited, remembering how Uncle Qin entered the city with many troops and horses behind him, looking very imposing. Father entering the city must be just as impressive as Uncle Qin, and he wanted to see it.
Mrs. Han very much wanted to go meet Company Commander Zhang. She looked at Daqing and asked, "Have my husband and the others reached the government office yet? If we hurry over now, will we still make it?"
Sister Yu also looked at Daqing with eager eyes.
