Hearing this, Tusi Song didn't answer. He glanced at Qin Yiliu, and asked incredulously, "Girl, are you saying...all the Southern Yue bandits within Shu have been captured?"

　　Song Yan was quite shocked, almost suspecting he had misheard.

　　The Southern Yue bandits, more than a hundred strongholds.

　　All of them were taken down within a month.

　　Moreover, it was done by his youngest daughter, Song Yilan, and that illegitimate son, Song Guan, who was never taken seriously.

　　This…how was this possible?

　　Even he might not have been able to wipe out so many Southern Yue spies in such a short time!

　　The speed! It was like catching fish in a pond.

　　Song Yan didn't believe it, but looking at Song Yilan's triumphant appearance, he had to.

　　His youngest daughter, Song Yilan, had always been straightforward. If she hadn't done it, she wouldn't dare to be so rampant and smug.

　　Song Yan stared in shock at the pair of people in front of him, the shock in his heart indescribable.

　　He paused for a moment, then looked at Song Guan on the side, before the other party could answer, and asked, "Song Guan, is it true?"

　　"Reporting to Father, every word that Yü Niangzi and Xie Langjun have said is true."

　　"To tell the truth, this matter is also fate."

　　"Originally, we were just planning to go to Yunzhou, but we never expected to be ambushed by the Southern Yue bandits in Qu County. The bandits hijacked Yilan, wanting to use this to coerce you, Father, to join forces with them, and let our Song clan be their external support for invading Yunzhou City."

　　"This was originally a disaster, but unexpectedly, your child, Yü Niangzi and Xie Langjun, while rescuing Yilan, discovered many strongholds of the Southern Yue bandits. Therefore, we united the Song clansmen from various places, and with the clever plans of Yü Niangzi and Xie Langjun, we quickly filled the prisons of the Song family in various places with those bandits within a month."

　　Song Guan was excited, speaking as if it were true.

　　After listening to Song Guan's answer, Song Yan was shocked again.

　　A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, a joy that was pride for the Song clan.

　　But such an expression only lasted for a moment before being replaced by gloom.

　　Song Guan was just an illegitimate son, born to a low-status servant girl. This illegitimate son and his shameless mother had always been people he wanted to hide. If it weren't for Yilan's sake, he would have killed this illegitimate son who brought him shame last time.

　　This illegitimate son was not even as good as a slave, what right did he have to command the Song clansmen from various places?

　　Thinking of this, Song Yan's face became even more unsightly.

　　Song He, who was on the side, felt uncomfortable when he heard that his most willful sister and this illegitimate son had taken down more than a hundred strongholds of the Southern Yue bandits.

　　First, he didn't believe it, he was jealous, and second, like his father, he felt that Song Guan was not qualified to command the Song clansmen.

　　In addition, they almost caused his Liu'er to be scolded by his father, Song He became more and more displeased with Song Guan at this moment.

　　"Song Guan, do you mean that you privately commanded the Song clansmen from various places?"

　　"You are just a lowly illegitimate son, what qualifications do you have to command the Song clansmen?"

　　Just as Song Guan was joyfully recounting the heroic deeds of capturing the Southern Yue bandits these days, Song He suddenly spoke.

　　His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of questioning and anger.

　　Before Song Guan could speak, he sneered coldly, "Without informing Father, you privately instigated the Song clansmen, and led Yilan to make trouble together, causing Yilan to be hijacked by the Southern Yue bandits, what are your intentions?"

　　"Brother, it was the Holy Maiden who asked Yilan to go to Yunzhou, why are you questioning me instead?"

　　Song Guan retorted as soon as Song He finished speaking.

　　Perhaps because he had made contributions by leading the Song clansmen, or perhaps because of Yü Qingwu's previous sentence 'Are kings and generals born with a noble lineage?', although Song Guan was still afraid of Song He, he was not as humble as before.

　　You must know that the reason why he respected Song He in the past was because he considered himself inferior and thought that he was useless and incompetent. Secondly, it was because of Song Yilan.

　　He and his mother's lives were saved by Yilan.

　　Song He was Yilan's own brother, so he also respected him.

　　But now, Song He wanted to distort the facts in order to protect Qin Yiliu, the poisonous woman who almost harmed Yilan, and put the blame on him, which he would never tolerate.

　　Song He had always trampled Song Guan under his feet since he was a child, and never expected that Song Guan would dare to refute.

　　He was stunned by Song Guan's question at this moment, and his expression became ugly.

　　Qin Yiliu, who had finally escaped, took a step back subconsciously when she saw everyone's eyes falling on her again.

　　Song He's face gradually turned ugly under the questioning eyes of several elders.

　　He glared at Song Guan for a long time, and said, "It's...it's true that Liu'er asked her to go, but that was because Liu'er was prescient and had long predicted that Yilan would be fine, so she let her go. Moreover, didn't she also write letters to this Xie Langjun and Yü Niangzi, asking them to take care of Yilan?"

　　"What about you? You don't know anything, so you accompany Yilan to make trouble, and even caused Yilan to be hijacked by the Southern Yue bandits..."

　　"Alright, Eldest! What are you arguing about? Arguing in front of outsiders? Aren't you ashamed?"

　　Song He's thoughts were too obvious. His far-fetched and weak explanation made Song Yan, who had always hated Song He the most, unable to bear it anymore.

　　Song Yan roared angrily with a blue face, glared at him fiercely, and then looked at Song Guan, saying with a gloomy face, "Although what your eldest brother said is unpleasant to hear, there is one sentence that is right."

　　"You are not qualified to command the Song clansmen from various places."

　　"Not to mention you, even your eldest brother is not qualified."

　　"Father, your child originally wanted to report to you first, and ask you to make the decision..."

　　"But...but...you..."

　　Song Guan spoke again before Song Yan could finish speaking.

　　He took a deep look at Song Guan, then glanced at the surrounding elders, with a hesitant and stuttering expression.

　　Seeing his expression, Song Yan's anger grew even stronger.

　　He glared at Song Guan coldly, and immediately asked in a rough voice, impatiently, "Me what? Song Guan, what are you stammering about? What's wrong? Can't your father have anything shameful?"

　　Even if he did, he wouldn't dare to say it.

　　But that was just the Song Guan of the past.

　　Before this, Song Guan only wanted to endure humiliation and live.

　　But later, he discovered that no matter how much he endured, there would be no chance to stand out. Instead, this time he let go of his courage and did a great job, which won over many Song clansmen.

　　Therefore, he was no longer as afraid to say anything as he used to be.

　　But Song Guan was not too flamboyant.

　　Only with the same humble and aggrieved expression as always, he raised his eyes and glanced at Song Yan, stuttering, "Father, you...you have always disliked your child. It is impossible for me to see you on weekdays. If I write a letter to you, you...you may not even read it."
