Chapter 1735 - 849 Reunion of Two People (First Update)
The sky had already darkened, and only the faint moonlight by the city gate was enough for Shangguan Yun to recognize that the group coming to greet her was not Gu Jiao and the Hei Fengqi.
She took two steps forward, steadily looking at the man standing at the forefront, and said, "Lift your head."
"Yes!" Chang Wei obediently lifted his head, looking toward the most noble lady of Dayan.
Though Shangguan Yun was weary from the journey, there was no trace of fatigue between her brows. Her beautiful face exuded a calm and majestic aura, her demeanor was dignified and graceful, with a regal presence fitting of royalty.
Chang Wei quickly lowered his gaze after just one glance.
Shangguan Yun spoke unhurriedly, "You are General Changwei; I once saw you in the Xuanyuan Family’s military camp during my youth."
Chang Wei was unsure whether to feel flattered or break into a cold sweat out of guilt.

Especially not long ago, he led his men in a battle against the Hei Fengqi, which was tantamount to open rebellion against the court.

Shangguan Yun stepped forward two more paces, extended her hand, and gently helped him up: "General Chang, you’ve worked hard defending the city, please rise."
