After sentencing Lu's army to crime, Emperor Yuan announced his retirement from court.
Seeing that Emperor Yuan had made up his mind and Lu Yunting had handed over his military power, the civil and military officials said nothing more about Lu Yunting retaining his official position.
Everyone left the Hall of Supreme Harmony one after another, and Jiang Yueyang walked quickly forward and came to Lu Yunting's side.
She held his hand and said softly, "Although they have been slaves for generations, at least they have saved their lives."
Lu Yunting slightly tightened her hand, "I know, I raised an army to rebel, and I am lucky to be able to keep my life. But..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but Jiang Yueyang understood through his eyes and said firmly: "I believe you can do it, and they will understand you."
"Yangyang, the greatest luck in my life is to meet you and have you."
He added secretly, if it weren't for you, I would never know who killed my father.
Without you, this war would not have ended so quickly, and the Lu family army would not have been able to escape unscathed.
Jiang Yueyang smiled slightly, raised her head and looked at him, "Then you must treat me well in the future and never make me sad."
"Yes, sir."
"Also, if I don't allow you to die, you can't die. Your life... belongs to me."
"I promise you. From today on, my life belongs to you, and no one else has the right to dispose of it."
The smile on Jiang Yueyang's face gradually faded, and she looked at him worriedly, "Will the fifty sticks..."
"No." Lu Yunting gently interrupted her, "I'm still waiting to marry you."
As soon as the words fell, a heavy cough was heard behind them.
The two men turned around when they heard the voice and saw that it was the eunuch beside Emperor Yuan.
The eunuch said respectfully, "General Lu, Lord Xiao Jiang, His Majesty invites you."
The two looked at each other and then followed the eunuch.
Not long after, the two arrived at Huaqing Palace, and the Left Prime Minister, General Zhenguo and others were also called here.
After the two men saluted Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan looked at Lu Yunting and said, "After discussing with General Zhenguo and others, I decided to make a special military token, which I will be in charge of.
From then on, the Lu family army was renamed the Cangwu army, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and only recognized military orders but not people.
I hope that everyone in the Cangwu Army will keep these changes in mind and serve the court wholeheartedly."
Lu Yunting knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "I will make sure that every member of the Cangwu Army will remember this."
"I will send General Zhang and six other generals to lead the Cangwu Army with you. I hope you will not let me down."
Hearing this, Lu Yunting opened his eyes wide in slight surprise.
He originally thought that His Majesty retained his official position just to give him an empty title without any rights.
But he didn't expect that His Majesty would let him continue to lead the Cangwu Army!
Jiang Yueyang was also a little surprised. By doing this, did His Majesty dispel his suspicion of A Yue?
Lu Yunting clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."
"Tomorrow, you will set off for the border with General Zhang and his men to make all of this happen."
"yes!"
Then, Emperor Yuan's gaze fell on Jiang Yueyang.
"Jiang Yueyang, I promised you that I would make you a princess when the war is over. Now I will confer upon you the title of Princess Yongle, with a fief in Luoyang. I will also grant you a princess's mansion, three thousand personal soldiers, and ten thousand taels of gold."
Jiang Yueyang's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, did you just say that you would give me three thousand personal soldiers?"
Emperor Yuan nodded lightly.
[Little melon, little melon, why did His Majesty give me such a big reward? On the surface, I haven't made any contribution. ]
The system pretended not to know, [I'm not the worm in his stomach, how can I know why? ]
Emperor Yuan explained cryptically, "I heard from Prince Yan that this battle was won with very few casualties, thanks to your whip."
[So it was because of the Thunder Whip?] Jiang Yueyang looked worried, [Your Majesty, are you going to use those rewards to exchange for my Thunder Whip?]
[It is possible.]
Jiang Yueyang was anxious, [That won't do, I only have one whip, I don't want to change it.]
【You should tell this to the emperor.】
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueyang opened her mouth to tactfully tell the emperor that the whip could not be handed over.
But before he could finish his words, Emperor Yuan spoke again.
"That whip is not an ordinary thing. You must keep it well and never lend it out casually."
Hearing Emperor Yuan's words, Jiang Yueyang blinked and asked uncertainly: "Little melon, does His Majesty mean that I should not lend it to others, especially to someone as powerful as Ah Yue?"
[I don't know if this is what the emperor meant, but I know he didn't want to steal your thunder whip.]
Jiang Yueyang's eyes lit up, [It seems so! ]
At this time, Minister Jiang coughed heavily.
Jiang Yueyang looked in the direction of the voice, and after seeing his expression, he hurriedly bowed his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward! Your Majesty, rest assured, I will never lend out the whip casually!"
"That's great."
Afterwards, General Zhenguo told Emperor Yuan that he and his men had searched the city carefully several times, but had not found Master Mu.
It turned out that night, after the rebels surrendered, Ye Wuhen took advantage of General Zhenguo's inattention and slipped away.
The other masked men also disappeared without a trace.
If there weren't traces of grenade explosions on the ground, they would have thought it was all an illusion.
General Zhenguo asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to continue the investigation?"
Emperor Yuan waved his hand, "No need. Just order someone to post a notice. Mu Ye has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion and is to be appointed General Yeying. If one day he wants to serve as an official in the court, I will welcome him at any time."
"yes."
