Chapter 339 Returning in triumph

Upon hearing this, everyone present was overjoyed.

"Wow! Great! Great!" Xia Miaoyuan immediately waved her hands and cheered.

The prince gently pinched the horse's belly, let the horse move forward a few steps, and stopped in the middle of the city gate.

Xia Miaoyuan felt her heart beating, she was really too excited.

The rumbling of horse hooves and footsteps was getting closer and closer.

"See it! See it!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted loudly.

Standing at the city gate, you can already see the flying flags of the army.

At this time, a horse galloped over. The

one riding the horse was a general wearing silver armor, and the general was holding a long spear in his hand.

"Huh? Why does he look familiar?" Xia Miaoyuan murmured, biting her finger.

"Miao'er! Big brother!" The silver-armored general shouted while galloping on his horse.

"Ah! It's second brother! It's second brother!" Xia Miaoyuan only then recognized that the man was the second prince Xia Chengnian.

In a flash, the second prince had arrived at the city gate.

He pulled the reins, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee in front of the prince, and bowed deeply.

On weekdays, when the princes saw the eldest brother, the prince, they also had to salute, but usually they just bowed their hands and bowed their heads slightly.

Kneeling on one knee is such a grand ceremony that is only performed on important occasions.

At this time, the prince had already got off the horse holding Xia Miaoyuan.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty, and Chengnian sends his regards to my eldest brother!" The second prince bowed his head and spoke word by word.

When the crown prince saw this, his eyes immediately turned red.

He put Xia Miaoyuan aside and reached out to help the second prince up, but the second prince seemed to have used a lot of strength to kneel and bow. At first, the crown prince helped him up, but the second prince didn't move at all. The

crown prince put in more effort to help, and finally helped the second prince up.

"Chengnian, get up quickly!"

The second prince stood up and looked at the crown prince steadily, his eyes filled with tears.

"Big brother! Chengnian is back! He's finally back!" The second prince's voice was a little tearful.

Seeing this, Xia Miaoyuan's face was already filled with tears.

[Second brother! You have been there for more than two years, going through life and death, and experiencing many hardships and dangers. 】

【Although we did not see it in person, we can imagine it! 】

【At first, the words "rush to the northern border" were said lightly, but for the second brother and the soldiers who rushed to the northern border, it was a game closest to death. 】

【The battlefield is ruthless, the sword has no eyes, and any confrontation will result in death if you are not careful. 】

【My dear second brother, as a vanguard general, I am afraid he has experienced more dangers. 】

"Chengnian, my good brother, you have suffered!" The prince opened his arms and hugged the second prince tightly in his arms.

"You are great. You are my father, my mother, and my pride! You are the pride of our Great Xia!" The prince patted the second prince's back again and again, as if venting his emotions.

[My heroic second brother!]

Xia Miaoyuan stood beside the two of them, looking up at the second prince.

After more than two years of fighting and living, the second prince has become darker and taller.

In the past, the second prince was slightly shorter than the prince, but now, he is half a head taller than the prince.

Xia Miaoyuan excitedly stepped forward and hugged the second prince's thigh tightly.

[Oh, I'm too small to join in your enthusiastic hug. Then hug your thigh.]

The feeling on his legs and the familiar voice in his heart immediately interrupted the second prince's thoughts.

He lowered his head and immediately found Xia Miaoyuan, who was wearing a red dress and crying with snot and tears all over her face.

"Ah, Miao'er, you have grown so big! Come and let your second brother hug you."

The second prince broke free from the crown prince's arms and hugged Xia Miaoyuan.

"Second brother, I miss you so much!" Xia Miaoyuan hugged the second prince's neck tightly.

"Ah, bah, bah, bah, you can't say death." Xia Miaoyuan realized that he had said the word death and pouted a few times in a serious manner.

This action made the crown prince and the second prince laugh.

"Second brother also misses Miao'er very much, very, very much!"

"I often dream of Miao'er, and dream of me taking Miao'er out to play."

The second prince poured out a lot of thoughts about her, and then kissed Xia Miaoyuan twice on the cheek.

Just as the three siblings were expressing their longing for each other, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps had already arrived. People standing on the ground could feel the ground shaking faintly.

Everyone looked up and saw that the 100,000-strong army was already in sight.

Walking in the front were two mighty generals.

Xia Miaoyuan looked carefully and found that one was his grandfather Xiao Tiehan, and the other was the Grand Marshal Bailihua.

The two men walked to the city gate and immediately pulled the reins to dismount.

Before the two of them could salute, the prince stepped forward and held their arms.

Xiao Tiehan and Bailihua were slightly stunned.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two were stunned, the prince stepped back and did a late salute.

"Xia Chengwan greets the Great Khan and the Great Marshal Baili!"

Xiao Tiehan and Bailihua were both surprised and went to support the prince.

"You are the prince of Daxia, how can you bow to us!" Xiao Tiehan said.

The prince smiled brightly: "From a public perspective, one of you is the Khan of the Northern Frontier, and the other is a victorious marshal.

You deserve to be honored by me." "From a private perspective, one of you is my grandfather, and the other is my uncle. It is only natural that I honor you!"

After hearing what the prince said, Xiao Tiehan and Bailihua were no longer surprised, but instead smiled.

They chatted for a few more sentences before mounting their horses and leading the army to march towards the palace.

What a magnificent scene!

One hundred thousand soldiers of the Great Xia returned in a mighty force, wearing armor and with a mighty momentum, as unstoppable as a torrent of steel.

The Grand Marshal Bailihua sat on a red horse. Although he

was over fifty years old, he had an upright posture, a resolute face, and his eyes revealed unparalleled confidence and majesty.

The second prince, a vanguard general, was young, handsome, and full of vigor. He waved his spear and saluted the people on the roadside.

Xiao Tiehan rode a black warhorse, with a burly figure, mighty and majestic, and his face was filled with the joy of victory.

Walking beside Xiao Tiehan were the white horses of the crown prince and Xia Miaoyuan.

The four horses walked side by side, leading the 100,000-strong army slowly forward.

The soldiers marched in neat steps, making deafening footsteps that shook the ground.

They were all in high spirits, with unconcealed pride and honor on their faces.
