Then General Fu Hai tells him how they clear everything around the escape route and how they accidentally found the enemy's hideout.
The emperor heard that the trapped people is finally safe so he is finally relieved and sent a decree summoning them immediately.
Ling Wei heard the news and happily announce it to her mother and grandmother.
Ding Cui and Cheng Waner wept in happiness after hearing the news.
They hugged each other and thank the gods.
The empress dowager happily returns to the temple to thank Buddha.
Ling Wei starts the preparations for the arrival of her brothers.
Ling He and Ling Han already asked for a leave, because Ling Bin's vacation is earlier than theirs so they have to make adjustments, after all, it's been 3 years since they last saw their eldest brother.
When the team arrived at the capital, they first enter the palace to meet the emperor.
The young and vigorous men are nervous, most of them are just commoners trying their luck the earn some titles and gain honors for their families.
So entering the palace, and even meeting the most venerable emperor is like a dream.
"don't be nervous, the royal family won't eat you"
Long Yi Sheng teased Ling Bin
"it's easy for you to say that, you are part of them!"
His retort makes Long Yi Sheng chuckle.
The emperor warmly welcomed them, and the juveniles felt overwhelmed and swore their loyalty toward the emperor.
The emperor grant them a decree and named them "Laohu".
They will be the tigers who will roam around the kingdom's mountains and forest, and keep their lands safe.
Then the emperor called out 5 names including Long Yi Sheng and Ling Bin who he gave recognition.
These 5 youths have been the best inside the camp and even when facing the enemies, they were collected and calm enough.
So General Fu Hai and Captain Gu Si personally ask for their recognition.
When the 5 youths received the decree with the rewards, the others happily congratulated them.
The youths are straightforward and easy to read, and Gu Si was gratified seeing none of them had a tinge of unsatisfactory, instead, they are genuinely happy.
Ling Bin didn't know how to express his happiness, he looks at Long Yi Sheng gratefully.
He knows that without his help, Ling Bin won't be as good as he is now.
Long Yi Sheng pat his shoulder and said
"it was all your hard work"
Even if Long Yi Sheng teach him, if Ling Bin himself didn't train hard or ignored his advice, it will be all useless.
After the ceremony and a small banquet, Ling Bin can finally go home.
"your friend left?"
The Empress Dowager asks Long Yi Sheng
"yes grandma"
"then invite him some other time, I would like to meet him"
Long Yi Sheng smile
"because he is my friend or because he is Ling Wei's older brother?"
The empress dowager laugh merrily
"you silly child! Both of course"
The dowager and the 5th prince are always this close, everyone knows that she loves this 5th grandson the most.
"BIG BROTHER!"
Ling Wei shout happily while tightly hugging Ling Bin
"big brother! I missed you so much!"
She said while crying
"me too! I missed you all"
Cheng Waner wipe her tears then check her eldest from left to right down and up
"you lost a lot of weight! You are not hurt anywhere aren't you?"
"Mother I am back!"
Ling Bin said emotionally.
"hurry up and cross the brazier to ward off bad luck"
Ding Cui tearfully said.
When they finally entered the house, Ding Cui and Cheng Waner scrambled around Ling Bin, making sure that he don't have any injury.
Ling Bin helplessly allowed them
"big brother let Mother and Grandma, they are really worried about you"
Ling Han said sounding grown-up
Ling Bin chuckled and ruffled his hair
"is it only grandma and mother?"
"of course, we are all worried about you! But we know that you will be alright!"
"big brother is powerful!"
Ling He added.
Ling Wei giggles seeing the sparkle in Ling Han and Ling He's eyes while looking at Ling Bin.
"well! Let us go and rest! Big brother is certainly tired"
Ling Wei said
"then tomorrow we will tour Brother around the capital and introduce our shops to him"
She added Ling Bin wants to deny but they all left leaving him alone.
He looked around and check his room.
After living in the small village and staying at the camp for 3 years, he is not sure if he can embrace this sudden prosperity.
Although this is his dream for his family but, his younger sister achieved it in just 3 years.
When he sat down on his bed, he don't know how to react to its softness.
He sigh and decided to sleep on a long chair inside his room.
He woke up at the break of dawn, out of habit, and start his training.
"Bin-er aren't you tired?"
Ding Cui asks, seeing her grandson this early.
"Grandma I am already used to waking up at this hour"
Ding Cui sighs feeling pity for his grandson but Ling Bin just laughs it out.
Anyway, this habit is good for him, and while he is still here, he will train his younger brothers.
So every time he leaves, his worry will lessen.
"go ahead and eat first, Weiwei will wake up around 2 more hours, you will have to go tour around the capital right?"
Cheng Waner said after personally prepares her children's meals.
Ling Bin smiles helplessly, still the same as ever.
So when Ling Wei is finally up, the brothers are done touring around
"what? Did you ever rest?"
She asks incredulously.
"We are not sleepy heads like you"
Ling Wei pout
"I am still growing"
The brothers laugh
"eldest brother let sister sleep more, see I am almost as tall as her"
Ling Han brags that makes Ling Wei more sullen.
"I will become voluptuous beauty when I grow up"
Ling Bin laugh more
"Let us not dream of an impossible okay?"
"what is voluptuous beauty?"
Ling He asks
"sister you are still a beauty even not voluptuous"
Ling He said after some explanation that makes the two brothers laugh more.
Ling Wei squints her eyes and then leaves them
"I won't argue with you! But when the time comes don't regret"
But Ling Bin's answer is a louder laugh.
