Chapter 436: Is it glorious or not?

Dasheng Imperial City.

Old Man Hou, who had been worried for over a month because of his grandson's first expedition, was now in his study, his white beard almost pulled out by himself.

He could hardly believe his ears.

"What are you talking about? It's only been half a month, and that guy is going to return to the capital with a great victory."

"Yes, old man."

The expression on the servant's face was also very interesting: "The Queen gave the young master three months and asked him to persevere for three months. Unfortunately..."

Mr. Hou was anxious: "What a pity! Could it be that he was injured? Isn't it a great victory?"

"Yes, yes, a great victory! The young master and his men have not lost a single soldier."

The servant was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "It's because the people of those two countries are not up to the task. After only half a month, they couldn't hold on and surrendered."

Mr. Hou: "...it's also true that the two countries directly ceded twenty cities in exchange for peace."

"That's true."

The servants' faces were all beaming with glory. "Young Master, as the first general to achieve a complete victory, His Majesty has drafted an imperial decree. Young Master will be promoted four ranks, awarded a thousand taels of gold, and granted a golden medal of immunity from death to the Marquis family. Upon the army's return to the capital, the rewards will be immediately conferred."

"Level up, level up, level four!"

Mr. Hou's voice suddenly rose to a breaking point: "How did that kid win the battle?"

Not a single soldier has been lost

Could it be that the Empress deliberately gave all the credit to him in order to reward him or give him a promotion?

"Tell me the truth, did the Queen secretly send more than a dozen experts to follow?"

This reward is too great.

Not only was he promoted four levels, but he also got a golden medal of immunity from death.

The servant's expression became even more strange: "Master, you are really wrong this time. This great victory is indeed the main credit of our young master. The specific situation has long been spread. It is like this..."

Mr. Hou listened and seemed fine at first, but the more he listened, the darker his face became.

In the end, he couldn't help it and slammed the table and stood up: "My family has been upright all their lives, how could such a black-hearted person come out? When I go out in the future, won't I become a laughing stock?"

He flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked away angrily.

Old Master Hou now seriously suspected that this golden medal of immunity from death was given to the Hou family because he had evil intentions this time, and Lu Wanyin saw it and was afraid that he would kill himself someday, so she specially awarded it to the Hou family.

The more Mr. Hou thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt.

The great reputation of his family, Mr. Hou.

The news of Hou Yuanji's "great display of skills" on the border quickly spread throughout Dasheng.

Mixed reviews.

More importantly, people are not optimistic about Hou Yuanji because of his reputation as a playboy for so many years.

"Can such rogue tactics be used during war?"

"It's really embarrassing for other countries. If you don't know, you might think that all the generals in Dasheng are like that."

"Have you heard that Hou Yuanji is also like them, poisoning the food. I heard that it's colorful, with all kinds of colors. I don't know how many kinds of poison he used."

There were also people who spoke up for Hou Yuanji, but they were quickly drowned out by the tide.

After all, his image over the years has been so deeply rooted in people's minds that it is difficult for people to think positively of him.

Two days before Mr. Hou received the news, he went out for a walk twice.

After hearing a lot of bad comments, I felt even more depressed.

His grandson has been disappointing for so many years, and now that he has finally returned to Beijing with a great victory, he doesn't even get a single word of praise.

The guard guessed the old man's thoughts and tried to comfort him: "This is not the young master's fault. Even if it was poisoned, it was the other party who made the first move. We..."

"Okay, I've been through so many storms, but I still can't see through this."

Old Master Hou waved his hand, interrupting the guard's words: "How can such a small trick be compared to the lives of thousands of soldiers?

I just... Alas, it is rare for Yuanji to achieve such an achievement.

Whatever, I can’t get along with those ignorant people anyway, so I’m happy to be alone.”

Old Master Hou just threw away his sleeves and asked for leave, not even attending court for half a month.

Xie Jingci came back from court and immediately told Lu Wanyin about this matter: "I want you to issue an edict to restore the reputation of the Hou family."

She knew that Lu Wanyin still valued this subordinate whom she recruited halfway.

When the good news came, Lu Wanyin first sent someone to spread the news, offering a generous reward to the Hou family.

The first is to reassure Mr. Hou.

Secondly, I also want to see the reaction of the people in the imperial city.

She had expected that Mr. Hou would behave like this.

“No need.”

Lu Wanyin's lips curled slightly: "Let Mr. Hou have a good rest. Everything will be discussed after Hou Yuanji returns with his troops."

Xie Jingci saw that her eyes were always glued to the two children a few meters away, and he felt a little sad: "Madam, Hou Yuanji sent three batches of silver, Madam, please take them away."

“No, no.”

Lu Wanyin waved her hand without even looking back: "Go move the treasury yourself, don't you see I'm busy?"

The little girl not far away was having fun playing with some vines.

She was afraid that if she didn't pay attention, the little girl would not be able to control her strength.

Xie Jingci was upset.

He couldn't help but move closer to Lu Wanyin: "Madam, the treasury can't hold it anymore."

Is he going to fall out of favor?

Xie Jingci's heart was filled with alarm.

I had long thought that Lu Wanyin would devote some of her attention to the two children.

However, she never expected that the superpowers accidentally inherited by the two children would draw away all of Lu Wanyin's attention.

Lu Wanyin didn't even turn around: "If there's no more space, just pile it up in a corner."

Feeling that there was no movement around him, Lu Wanyin couldn't help but push him: "Why don't you leave? Is there something wrong?"

Suddenly, resentment arose around him.

Listen, what is this called?

Even if it's really okay, he can't come.

Xie Jingci couldn't help but turn Lu Wanyin's face, bit her lip in her stunned eyes, "If Madam is worried about them, why don't you send them to the space, wouldn't it be less of a worry?"

Hurry up and send these two little ones in for two days!

He really couldn't stand being ignored.

Lu Wanyin seemed to be enlightened by him, her eyes lit up: "Yes, it's winter now, and plants are difficult to control after all. There is no such restriction in the space, and there are many plants.

Xunzhou can also be sent in. There are many animals in there, and the area is large. Maybe we can even practice formations or something."

To cultivate supernatural powers, one must start from childhood.

Xie Jingci's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He tried to restrain himself, but he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips: "Madam, you are very insightful."

Lu Wanyin happily supported Xie Jingci's hand, which was still on her face: "Thank you for reminding me, husband. I'll take them in right away."

It actually became

Xie Jingci couldn't believe it, it was so easy.

Lu Wanyin stood up and walked quickly to the two children: "Xunzhou, Zhiyu, mother will take you to a fun place."

Xie Jingci was still smiling and happy in his heart, but he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
