"Victory! Ahhh, we won!"
"Woo woo, we won, we finally won! We killed all the Rakshasa devils!"
When the news reached the border, everyone dropped their work and ran around the streets happily, not knowing how to express their joy!
For the people in Kyoto and Jiangnan, the war on the border is just gossip after dinner, but for the people in the north, it is a matter of life and death!
Now that all the Russian devils have been killed and we have obtained the magic weapon to kill the enemy, the Russian devils will not dare to come again for at least three to five years!
There is nothing that makes people happier than peace!
Even the two cabinet ministers and officials were waiting outside the border military camp to welcome the victorious Sixth Prince.
Seeing His Royal Highness the Prince, covered in blood and flames, appear in the distance with his battle-hardened army, the sound of horse hooves and fluttering flags, everyone couldn't help but calm down a little.
A victorious general ascending the throne is definitely not comparable to the previous incompetent emperors and princes. Whoever first controls the new emperor must be prepared to have his hands and feet chopped off...
The two cabinet ministers made up their minds that after returning to Beijing, they would warn their relatives and friends not to be greedy or delusional, and that being honest, dutiful and loyal in doing practical things was the way to survive in the long run!
The entire camp was boiling with excitement because of the complete victory. No one paid attention to the two elders' thoughts. The soldiers' enthusiastic shouts were heard everywhere. The logistics camp even took out the best rice, flour, wine and meat, and was busy steaming rice and stewing meat.
The general said that he wanted to reward the three armies and also send off His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, his special comrade-in-arms. The next time we meet, he will be the new emperor and his people!
The Sixth Prince changed into casual clothes and came out to see Old Man Tai. He showed a rare bit of liveliness and said, "Grandpa Tai, we won!"
"Haha, good, that's great!" Old Master Tai clapped his one arm heavily on the Sixth Prince and laughed loudly. "You are all great! The folks in the north can finally live a stable life! I have sent someone back to report the news. The young and old in the village can come out from the mountains! Hurry up, maybe you can all celebrate the New Year at home!"
The ministers and officials happened to come over and were so frightened when they saw this that their eyebrows flew up in disbelief.
That was the new emperor, and he slapped him so hard!
The two elders walked briskly forward and saluted, "Your Highness, we are honored to meet you."
Old Master Tai was happily talking to the Sixth Prince when he was suddenly interrupted. Seeing how respectful he was, he understood what was going on.
He quickly withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Kang Cheng, no, Your Highness, you are busy. I will go and check on the boys."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The Sixth Prince glanced at the two cabinet ministers and felt unhappy, but he did not show it.
The two elders were not fools. They felt a chill on their backs and quickly asked.
"Your Highness, now that the war is over, can we return to Kyoto?"
"Yes, Your Highness, the ministers of the six ministries are all waiting for Your Highness to return. Let's set off as soon as possible!"
The Sixth Prince's expression was indifferent. He looked at the ecstatic soldiers around him and replied, "At this moment, the tens of thousands of soldiers here defending their country are far more important than those drunken courtiers in Kyoto! After all, without these soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their lives, Kyoto would be under the iron hoof of the Rakshasa!"
After saying that, he ignored the elders and went to the general's tent. They would toast the soldiers together later!
The elders were bitter, their hearts choked by the Sixth Prince. It was clearly the most glorious and promising job, so why was it so difficult as to ascend to heaven?
When the sun sets, there are bonfires everywhere in the border military camp. Dozens of soldiers gather together, drinking and eating meat. When they are happy, they even wrestle and fight. It is really more relaxed and comfortable than ever before!
When the general and the Sixth Prince came back from their toast, they saw that He Xiong and Old Master Tai were already half drunk. They both burst into laughter!
The general personally poured wine for Mr. Tai, "This great hero of our victory over Luosha must have an extra drink!"
The old man sighed, slowly poured the wine on the ground, and replied, "The hero is the old general, and I am just a vanguard. Now that the great cause has been accomplished, the old general's spirit in heaven can rest in peace."
The general's eyes were filled with nostalgia, and the Sixth Prince also poured wine and paid tribute.
A few of them sat down again and started chatting while eating and drinking.
The Sixth Prince asked, "General He, have the supplies from the Wolf Cavalry been delivered?"
"I've sent them," He Xiong replied. "To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I've sent them rice, flour, and live sheep! They can make a fire and cook! Tomorrow morning, I'll go there myself and escort them back to the royal court. As for the thank-you gift to the Third Prince and the subsequent arrangements for building the trade city, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for Shopkeeper Chen to come back and take care of it personally. After all, the Third Prince trusts Shopkeeper Chen more than we do."
The Sixth Prince was relieved and nodded, "That's the best. I'm afraid it won't last for a few days. I'll be leaving for the capital tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We can exchange letters and keep in touch at any time."
After saying that, he looked at Old Man Tai and said, "Grandpa Tai, the guards who brought the things back have already returned. In a few days, my aunt and the others will receive the news and rush back home."
"Haha, that's great news." Old Master Tai was genuinely happy and responded, "It's okay for others, but I really miss Zhuzhu. This girl has been away for so long, I wonder if she's used to the food and accommodation."
At this time, Tai Yongan came in with his two younger brothers, smiling and grabbing Grandpa's words and begging, "Grandpa, you are so worried about my sister, why don't you let us go and pick up Mom and my sister?"
"Oh, you little brats, no wonder you've been talking about Zhuzhu in my ears these past few days. It turns out she was waiting for me here!" Grandpa Tai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He pulled his eldest grandson to sit next to him and asked, "You just finished fighting. Aren't you too tired after running all the way to Jiangnan? Why don't you rest for a while? When your mother and sister come back, you can ask for leave and stay at home for a few days."
Tai Yongan waved his hands, acting like a spoiled brat for once, "Grandpa, just promise me. I really miss Mom and my sister! Besides, I'll be stationed at the border in the future. It'll be easy to see my uncle and my brothers, but it'll be hard to see Mom and my sister!"
The old man felt soft-hearted after hearing this. Others didn't know, but he knew too well the loneliness and hardship of guarding the border.
So, he subconsciously looked at the general. After all, his grandson was now under the general's control, and he had to obey his orders when entering and leaving.
The general naturally wouldn't spoil the fun and replied, "If Yong'an wants to go, go ahead. There's no fighting going on anyway. Just pick a hundred soldiers from your battalion to look after you on the way."
The Sixth Prince also added icing on the cake, saying, "All the food and nibbles for the people and horses on the way will belong to me. Remember to go find Xizi and get some silver later. Consider this a reward for you. Enjoy eating and drinking as much as you can on your way south and broaden your horizons."
Before Yong'an could respond, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue had already cheered.
"Oh! Oh! Go pick up mom, go pick up my sister!"
"Let's go, let's go! Let's go!"
