Chapter 155 Reward
The next day.
The flags blocked out the sun and the dust billowed.
Looking from the city gate, one could see the mighty Zhenbei Army, marching in orderly steps towards the capital.
The city gate was wide open. Li Chenghe, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, led all the civil and military officials in the court and waited at the city gate early.
The streets and alleys in the city are decorated with lights and red silk and green ribbons fluttering in the wind.
The roadsides were crowded with enthusiastic people, each of them stretching their necks, standing on tiptoe, looking forward to it.
Finally, when the vanguard of the Zhenbei Army appeared in everyone's sight, a deafening cheer suddenly broke out in the crowd.
At the front of the army, Xie Qinchuan was wearing armor and riding on a tall warhorse. He looked majestic and the murderous aura on his body had not yet faded. But when he saw the people lining the streets to welcome him, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his tired face.
Xie Beiheng followed closely behind, wearing silver armor and riding on the back of Jueying horse, with a resolute face and heroic demeanor.
The army slowly arrived at the city gate.
Li Chenghe's face was filled with joy, and he could not wait to go forward to greet them personally. Seeing this, the civil and military officials behind him also followed closely and went forward one after another.
When the father and son saw Li Chenghe coming towards them, they immediately dismounted, strode to Li Chenghe, and knelt down to salute.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Li Chenghe smiled and quickly stretched out his hands to help Xie Qinchuan up.
"My two beloved ministers, please stand up quickly."
After saying that, he looked at Xie Qinchuan with bright eyes, and then looked at Xie Beiheng excitedly.
"During this expedition, you and your son led the Northern Zhen Army, drove out the bandits, and annihilated the Northern Rong. You have achieved unparalleled feats for Dayue. I am deeply pleased and proud. Your achievements will forever be recorded in the annals of Dayue, and you will become a model for future generations to admire and emulate!"
Xie Qinchuan hurriedly bowed, "I don't deserve this. This is my duty. It is my greatest honor to serve Dayue loyally and share your majesty's worries!"
Li Chenghe smiled and said, "My dear minister, you have made great achievements in battle. I know this well."
After saying this, he looked at the Zhenbei Army behind Xie Qinchuan and said loudly: "This great victory is inseparable from the brave and fearless soldiers present. You are all heroes of Dayue. I would like to express my highest respect and gratitude to the entire Zhenbei Army!"
"Today, I am hosting a banquet here to reward the brave and fearless soldiers of our army!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire Zhenbei Army shouted: "We will be loyal to our country and will not hesitate to die!"
The voice is loud and passionate, resounding through the sky!
The people inside and outside the city also applauded and cheered enthusiastically.
Afterwards, Li Chenghe led all the officials and entered the city together with Xie Qinchuan, Xie Beiheng and other generals.
Seeing this, the people gathered around, vying to witness the victorious hero.
On the upper floors of the shops on both sides of the street, countless noble ladies gathered by the windows, wearing heavy or light makeup, competing with each other for beauty. At this moment, they no longer cared about their modesty and rushed out of the windows, looking eagerly.
"General God of War, General God of War~"
"General God of War is truly heroic and extraordinary!"
"It's a pity that the War God General is already engaged. I wonder if we still have a chance."
"Of course there's no chance. The War God General's fiancée is Princess Minhui. If you ask me, apart from Princess Minhui, no one else in the world is worthy of the amazingly talented War God General."
"Princess Minhui is not only exceptionally intelligent, but also incredibly beautiful. She also cares deeply about the world and holds great righteousness in her heart. She and General War God are a match made in heaven."
Obviously, among these noble ladies, there are not only those who admire Xie Beiheng and want to attract his attention, but also those who admire him from the bottom of their hearts and just want to catch a glimpse of his style.
Lin Xiangxiang didn't care what they said. She was wearing a veil and was trying hard to push the people next to her, "Don't push me, don't push me."
"Oh, I can't see it, I can't see it!"
"Xie Beiheng, Xie Beiheng~" He shouted loudly and waved his hands vigorously towards the people below.
How could she not come to such an important occasion?
Oh my god, there were too many fans “picking her up at the airport”, they squeezed her!
"Xie Beiheng, I'm here~"
Xie Beiheng followed behind Li Chenghe, his steps steady and his eyes fixed straight ahead.
Suddenly, a voice was heard.
He suddenly looked towards the window on the second floor of the shop on the left, and saw the little woman squeezed in the crowd, waving at him with difficulty.
Even though only half of the face was exposed, or to be more precise, only a pair of eyes were exposed, he still recognized it at a glance.
"Ah~ General God of War is looking this way."
"He smiled, he smiled."
"Is he smiling at me, is he laughing at me?"
Everyone was cheering, and Lin Xiangxiang was also very happy. She saw that Xie Beiheng saw her.
He immediately said, "He is smiling at me. Hey, don't squeeze me. He is smiling at me."
But no one around paid any attention to her. Everyone thought that the God of War General was smiling at them. For a moment, they became even crazier and tried their best to squeeze forward.
Lin Xiangxiang was almost squeezed into a human fist, "Oh my god, forget it, I'll wait until I get home to watch it enough!"
……
Night falls.
The palace was brightly lit.
At the celebration banquet, the sounds of string music, cheers and laughter were heard everywhere.
Li Chenghe sat high on the dragon throne, his face flushed and his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Xie Beiheng and other generals and civil and military officials sat below. People around him kept toasting him, with flattering smiles on their faces and all kinds of compliments.
You know, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has always been deeply trusted and favored by His Majesty. Now, the father and son have even destroyed Beirong, a country that has invaded Dayue for a long time, in one fell swoop, and have made unprecedented immortal contributions to Dayue.
It was conceivable that from now on, no one in the court would be able to shake the position of the father and son. And the Zhenbei Marquisate would surely become the most prominent and prestigious family in the capital.
As everyone was thinking this, they saw Li Chenghe suddenly stand up, holding up the wine glass in his hand, and his eyes swept over Xie Qinchuan and Xie Beiheng in turn, with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
"The father and son of the Marquis of Zhenbei have achieved remarkable feats and possess unparalleled loyalty and bravery. In less than a year, they first recaptured the city of Dayue, then marched straight into the city of Moyan. With a thunderous force, they annihilated the Northern Rong Kingdom in one fell swoop, freeing the people of Dayue from the suffering of war and making Dayue the largest nation in the Central Plains."
"In gratitude for the immortal contributions rendered by Marquis Zhenbei and General Weiyuan to Dayue, I hereby confer upon Marquis Zhenbei Xie Qinchuan the title of Duke of Zhenguo, bestowing upon him the highest honor. Simultaneously, I also confer upon his son, General Weiyuan Xie Beiheng, the title of First-Rank General of the Cavalry, in recognition of his outstanding military achievements."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the civil and military officials were shocked.
This time, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, no, now it should be the Zhenguo Duke Mansion, is truly at its peak! !
Everyone was still sighing.
Li Chenghe continued, "Princess Minhui cares about the people and understands justice. She has made great contributions by donating grain and fodder. I have specially ordered the Ministry of Rites to carefully prepare the wedding of Princess Minhui and the General of the Cavalry, in accordance with the standards for a princess marrying and becoming my adopted sister."
???
This time even Xie Beiheng was shocked!
Their wedding is in half a month. If he lets the Ministry of Rites prepare it, he won’t be able to marry Xiangxiang for a whole year!
