Just as they were talking, Zhao Zun and Han Lei trudged wearily side by side into the courtyard. Covered in dust, it was evident that they had just returned from the construction site.
Zhao Zun furrowed his brow upon seeing Hua Tianyou.
"Tianyou, what are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Zhao Zun and Han Lei, Hua Tianyou laughed heartily and stood up.
"Last time during the surprise attack on the Turkic, Li Gang reported my achievements, and I gained military commendation. I'm planning to return to the Capital City. When I got to Qingshui County, Mr. Luo mentioned you were here, so I took a detour to come and see you."
"Military commendation?"
Seeing Hua Tianyou's proud look when he mentioned "military commendation," Zhao Zun and Han Lei exchanged a glance and their lips curled into a meaningful smile, but they said nothing more.
The servants brought hot water, and Zhao Zun and Han Lei quickly washed up.
Seeing them covered in mud, Hua Tianyou couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.
