"Grandpa," Wang Li shouted loudly.

"Grandfather," Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling also called out in a crisp voice.

"Yes," Wang Jian responded with a smile.

He then looked at Wang Yan, who was heavily pregnant.

"Yan'er."

"Why are you still outside waiting after being pregnant for so long?"

"Come, let's go inside."

"Today is a great day for your husband," Wang Jian said with a cheerful smile.

Then he strode towards the house.

As he got closer,

Wang Jian was as usual,

holding Zhao Qi with one arm and Zhao Ling with the other.

Meanwhile, Wang Li stepped forward quickly to lead the way, looking like a little adult.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Yan exchanged a glance.

There was a look of concern in their eyes.

However, outside the house, they did not ask much but followed Wang Jian inside.

Back in the house.

Inside the main hall.

"Housekeeper, is the dinner ready?" Mrs. Wang immediately asked.

"Yes, Madam,"

"It's ready," the housekeeper replied promptly.

"Then serve it," Mrs. Wang said.

"Yes," the housekeeper responded immediately.

Then quickly retreated.

"Father,"

"Did something happen in the palace?"

Wang Yan asked concernedly, her face full of worry.

"What could happen in the palace?" Wang Jian looked puzzled.

"Then why does your face look so bad, Father?" Wang Yan also looked confused.

"This..."

Wang Jian looked at his daughter's worried expression and then at his wife's worried face.

Then he smiled, "Nothing, it's your father thinking about things, it's not that the Great King is being harsh, you're overthinking."

The matters in Zhangtai Palace today.

It's not something that can calm one's mood in a day or two.

For Wang Jian,

The feelings in Zhangtai Palace today were more shocking than when he was promoted to Protector-General, making it difficult for him to regain his composure.

His son-in-law is the Eldest Imperial Son.

And there is a great chance he will be established as the Crown Prince by the Great King.

Both of his grandsons are legitimate.

Which means his legitimate eldest grandson, Zhao Qi, will be the Crown Prince in the future.

Looking again at Wang Yan, his own daughter will become the Crown Princess Consort, and perhaps even the Queen in the future.

This feeling, Wang Jian could only describe as excitement.

He really wanted to say it out loud, but given the circumstances, he couldn't, so he could only keep it inside.

"But I heard some rumors suggesting that someone mentioned the Wang family's alliance with Zhao Feng's military power being too great, which caused the Great King's apprehension."

"And sooner or later, they will act against our Wang family," Mrs. Wang said worriedly.

Wang Jian shook his head and glared, "Woman's opinion, what do you know."

"Rest assured, even if the Great King takes action against anyone in the court, he won't touch our family."

"Our good days are ahead."

As he spoke,

Wang Jian cheerfully held Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling.

The previously dazed expression in the palace and the absent-mindedness upon returning were completely gone.

Seeing Wang Jian like this,

Mrs. Wang and Wang Yan exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled.

"However,"

"What Wang Wan did in the court today,"

"I have remembered."

Wang Jian thought coldly to himself.

What Wang Wan and Huai Zhuang did in court today, advising against him, had completely offended Wang Jian.

Originally,

Wang Jian did not have much animosity towards them or towards Fusu.

But from now on,

everything has changed.

Even without Zhao Feng's connection, hostility already exists.

With this connection, there is no need to say more.

In the future,

Wang Jian must contend.

...

Inside the territory of the Capital of Wei!

About twenty or thirty miles away from Daliang City.

Camps were everywhere, with civilians coming and going, and of course, many surrendered Wei Army soldiers were among them.

"Hear me, everyone."

"Daliang City has been inundated with floods and cannot be returned to."

"To avoid a plague."

"From today onwards,

"Our Qin will build houses here, construct a city, and ensure the civilian needs."

"However,

"Qin is still at war."

"Everything here will be carried out according to military regulations."

"If anyone dares to defy military regulations or disobey military orders, they will be dealt with according to military law."

"Moreover,

"For surrendered soldiers in the military register, they cannot leave."

"For civilians, if relatives can be sought in the future, our Qin army will provide provisions and allow them to depart."

Zhang Han stood in front of a refugee camp and proclaimed loudly.

The orders fell from his mouth,

followed by countless Sharp Warriors shouting,

so that all the civilians could hear.

On the other side,

where the surrendered Wei Army was.

All surrendered soldiers had been stripped of armor except for weapons, but their military uniforms were noticeable.

After the flood submerged Daliang,

the clever Wei Army would disguise themselves, removing their battle armor and military uniforms, changing into civilian clothes, and mingling among the civilians. With so many civilians, Qin could not possibly identify them.

Of course,

amidst the floods,

facing life and death,

few Wei Army soldiers did this; at that time, they were more concerned with survival.

"All surrendered soldiers listen!"

"Your king has surrendered, and your country is on the verge of destruction."

"From today onwards,

"You are all of slave status. However, Qin is not a country that delights in killing. As long as you do not escape and obey military orders, Qin will not harm you."

"As for the future, whether you are demoted to slave status or reorganized into a Penal Battalion like us, depends on the Great King's will."

"But for now,

"Your task is to cooperate and obey military orders."

Tu Sui looked coldly at the surrendered soldiers sitting on the ground.

After this battle,

even though many people in Daliang City were engulfed by the flood,

the majority survived, as the flood discharged once the city walls were breached, and then it began clearing the blocked areas at the two major rivers, without any further impact.
