C176 The Banquet Was Celebrated and the Winner Moved His Teacher Back to Shuntian
"Thank you, Emperor. Long live the Emperor. " As they spoke, everyone kowtowed to express their gratitude.
"Un, the three of you receive the decree. " Princess Jinyu carefully closed the decree and passed it to General Qu as she spoke.
"General Yim, when I left, the Emperor had already instructed me repeatedly. He asked me to tell you that he had already prepared to send you back to the capital. However, considering that you have lived here for a long time, you are very familiar with the terrain of this place. Therefore, in order to prevent them from making a comeback, he had to let General Qu stay here for a longer period of time. I will summon you back to the capital after the chaos in the war has subsided. "
"Many thanks to the Emperor for keeping this in mind. I am used to staying here and I am not aggrieved at all. "
"En, that's good. I have also brought the one million silver that the Emperor gave you this time. The Emperor wants you to use this silver to rebuild the destroyed town. Rebuild the city walls and recruit soldiers. The more the better. Only then can you ensure the safety of this place. Also, the Emperor has already instructed me. . . Ask General Qu to leave forty thousand men behind for you when you return to the court. From now on, this place will be completely dependent on General Yim. "
"Please rest assured, Princess and Emperor. I will vow to protect the safety of this place with my life. As long as the people in the city are here, the people in the city will die, and the people in the city will die. " As he spoke, General Yim knelt down on one knee. On the ground.
"Royal Brother really didn't misjudge us. We all believe that General Yim will definitely guard this place. Alright. Now that the official business was done, It's still early in the evening. What kind of fun places are there in Antian Prefecture? Lead me around to have a look. "
The three of them played with Princess Jinyu until the evening before returning to General's Mansion. At this time, the General's Mansion was brightly lit. All the generals and deputy generals were gathered here. Firstly, they were there to welcome Princess Jinyu. Secondly, they were celebrating their victory. The entire General's Mansion was filled with laughter and laughter.
Princess Jinyu came to Qing Yun's side and sat down during the banquet.
"Mr Mu, I heard Helian Xiner also came this time?"
"Yes, not only her, Jia Tianwei also came. "
"You two met?"
"Yes, I saw her, and I almost died in her hands," said Wang Yao.
"What?!!! It can't be, how could she possibly kill you?! I feel that she has always liked you. I don't believe that she would have the heart to kill you. "
"Hehe, I don't believe it either, but that's the truth. If it wasn't for Jueying, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to see me today. "
"How could this be? AHHHHHHH!!! Does she have any difficulties?"
"I don't know either, but this time she is the commander of the Three Kingdoms, perhaps it has something to do with this. "
"The commander of the Three Kingdoms. So powerful. I'm so envious. When will I reach that stage?" As she spoke, Princess Jinyu became envious.
"Hahahaha. What's wrong? The princess is envious of Helian Xiner?" General Qu laughed and sat down beside them.
"Of course. Although we are enemies, and I do not think highly of her. But to be honest, her martial arts really impressed me. "
"Haha, I never thought that our Great Ming's dignified Grand Princess Jinyu actually has someone to admire. "
"Huh?! General Qu, why do I feel that your words are not quite right?"
"Ah!! Hahaha, there's nothing else. I was just joking. General Yim, let's have a drink. " After saying that, General Qu quickly got up and walked towards General Yim.
"Hey, don't go. I haven't finished speaking. You have to make it clear to me. Otherwise, when you return to the capital, I will teach you a lesson. " Princess Jinyu stood up and chased after them. Qing Yun looked at them and smiled happily.
Just like that, they happily laughed and played around. In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight. Everyone was almost done drinking. General Yim, General Qu, Princess Jinyu, and Qing Yun gathered together and continued drinking.
"Marshal, when do you plan to move back to court?" General Yim asked after drinking a cup of wine.
"I plan to wait a few more days. After all, there are not many soldiers left in Antian Prefecture. If I leave immediately, I am afraid that Jia Tianwei and the others will come back again, so I want to wait for you to recruit more soldiers. I will return to the capital when my strength increases. "
"Marshal is still thoughtful. I will start recruiting tomorrow and increase the number of soldiers as quickly as possible. "
"Mm, that's for the best. I think the war will start again soon. So I can't stay here for too long. "
The night passed just like that. The next day, General Yim woke up early to start recruiting soldiers. After a few days, the number of troops had increased by quite a bit. In addition, the remaining forty thousand troops could withstand a momentary attack. Therefore, General Qu was ready to move his troops back to the dynasty.
On this day, General Qu and the others were sitting on their horses outside the city gate of Antian Prefecture. Behind them was a mighty army.
"General Yim, let's go back. There's no need to send us off. "
"General Qu, Prince Mu is going to send us back. Don't know when we will meet again. . . We have been together for so long. I really can't bear to part with you. "
"Hahaha, General Yim, I believe we will meet again soon. The Emperor has already made you the General of Ding Country. When the war is over, you can return to the capital to work. At that time, I will arrange a sumptuous feast to welcome you. If we are not drunk, we will not return. "
"Alright, then I will wait. "
"En, then we will leave. "
"Marshal, Your Highness, Princess, take care. "
"Mm, let's go. " With that said, the three of them rode their horses back to Shuntian Prefecture. After a few days of travelling, they finally arrived.
In the Imperial Court.
"This official, Qu Jinpeng, greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. "
"This official, Mu Qingyun, greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. " After saying that, both of them knelt down on the ground.
"Hahaha, two my close, stand up. " The Emperor was really very happy at this moment.
"Thank you, Emperor. " Mu Qingyun stood up but General Qu did not stand up.
"Mr Qu, why don't you stand up?"
"Reporting to the Emperor, although this time it was a victory, but due to this official's mistake, it also caused a huge loss. If it is a victory, this time it can only be considered a miserable victory. Please punish the Emperor. "
"General Qu, this matter cannot be blamed on you. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame us for being too careless and somewhat underestimating our enemy. However, we still won. What crime do you have? Just stand up. "
"Thank you, Emperor. " General Qu stood up as he spoke.
After the end of the court, the Emperor called General Qu and Mu Qingyun to the study room.
"Mr Qu, I heard that the ones leading the troops this time are Jia Tianwei and Helian Xiner, right?"
"This. . . Returning to the Emperor, it is indeed so. "
"Then why did you not mention anything about the situation when you reported it previously?"
"This official is guilty. " General Qu hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Get up. If I wanted to punish you, I would have already punished you in the Imperial Court. I know what you are worried about. You are worried about Lee Xiangyu, right?"
"Emperor, please don't pursue Lord Lee. "
