Chapter 328 is even better than before.
"I'm back!"
"King Yan has returned to the capital in triumph!"
"Our Qin army is about to enter the city!"
In the capital of Qin, the people shouted, their expressions extremely excited.
Not only that, but many young ladies from prominent families also came out of their homes, walked onto the street, and stood on tiptoe, excitedly looking ahead, wanting to catch a glimpse of the handsome young general.
Meanwhile, outside the capital, Xiao Mo was riding a horse alongside Qin Huo.
Xiao Mo looked up and could see the tall city gate of the Qin capital.
Qin Huo glanced at Xiao Mo beside him and said with a smile, "Xiao Mo, why don't you put on your mask?"
Xiao Mo asked, puzzled, "General, we're not going into battle right now, why am I wearing a mask?"
"Just wear it when I tell you to," Qin Huo said in a half-joking tone. "You're still my soldier, you have to obey military orders."
"."
Xiao Mo looked somewhat helpless, but since it was a military order, he had no choice but to put on the mask.
Soon, the army entered the city gate.
On both sides of the streets of the capital, people lined the road to welcome the soldiers, throwing flowers and fruits at them.
Most people's eyes quickly focused on Xiao Mo.
"Look, look, isn't that General Xiao Mo?"
"Of course he is. Didn't you see that he was the only one in the entire army wearing a mask?"
Wow, he has such a tall and straight posture.
"Those eyes are so beautiful. I wonder what's underneath the mask?"
"If I could just see it, my whole life would be worth it."
"But I didn't expect the mask he was wearing to look like this. When I get back, I'll have my father make me a new one."
Along the street, women chattered amongst themselves, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Xiao Mo, their beautiful eyes filled with fervor and anticipation.
"Xiao Mo, that's enough. Take off your mask now," Qin Huo said with a smile, adding, "This is a military order."
"..." Xiao Mo shook his head helplessly, knowing that General Qin was trying to build momentum for him.
Just as Xiao Mo was about to take off his mask...
Everyone held their breath.
As the mask slowly slipped off Xiao Mo's face, revealing his true appearance, all the women instinctively covered their mouths, staring at Xiao Mo with adoration.
Xiao Mo was already handsome, and his early achievements at a young age only added another layer of appeal to him.
Finally, Xiao Mo's handsome face beneath the mask contrasted sharply with the ferocious Shura mask.
The three combined made them feel that they had never seen such a handsome man before, and some women even fainted on the spot.
Soon, one flower after another was thrown at Xiao Mo like waves.
The women of the capital city seemed intent on overwhelming Xiao Mo with flowers.
"Today, I wonder how many women will have their lives ruined just by seeing you, Xiao Mo, at first glance," Qin Huo joked with a smile.
Xiao Mo remained silent and continued riding forward.
Half an hour later, Qin Huo led Xiao Mo and other generals to take a bath, change into clean clothes, and then went to the palace to report to the emperor.
In the imperial study, Qin Huo enthusiastically described to the King of Qin the remarkable military achievements Xiao Mo had made in the past four years, praising him without reservation, for fear that Xiao Mo's reputation would be buried.
After bestowing rewards upon Qin Huo and the others, the King of Qin specifically asked Xiao Mo to stay behind.
"Xiao Mo, do you still remember me?" In the imperial study, the King of Qin looked at Xiao Mo and said with a smile.
Xiao Mo clasped his hands in a salute: "When I was a child, I saw Your Majesty once. Your Majesty's heroic figure was unique in the world. I have always remembered it. How could I dare to forget it?"
"Haha, you've got a way with words, kid."
The King of Qin stroked his beard and smiled.
"However, I really didn't expect that such a small child back then would become a general who is famous throughout the world."
I've heard countless times about your deeds in Wei; even ordinary palace maids admire you greatly.
Xiao Mo shook his head: "It's all just empty fame. I am ashamed."
"But the more than twenty cities you captured are truly remarkable achievements!"
The King of Qin said earnestly.
"The imperial decree states that Xiao Mo displayed valor on the battlefield, achieving fame in a single battle beneath Frost Red City."
Moreover, he conquered twenty-one cities, destroyed the State of Wei, and made outstanding military achievements.
Xiao Mo was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a thousand bolts of silk.
King Fengshuang.
"Establish a mansion!"
Hearing the Qin king's reward, Xiao Mo was slightly taken aback.
Xiao Mo had expected to be granted a title, but he never imagined he would be promoted to king in one fell swoop.
This reward is a bit too much.
"What? Frost King, why aren't you thanking me? Are you perhaps dissatisfied with my reward?" the King of Qin said with a smile.
"Your Majesty's reward far exceeds my expectations. How could I dare to be dissatisfied? I thank Your Majesty!"
Regardless, Xiao Mo could only clasp his hands in gratitude.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Xiao Mo, the King of Qin took his leave and left the imperial study.
As he walked out of the palace, Xiao Mo recalled the words and actions of the King of Qin.
Xiao Mo felt that the King of Qin was trying to win him over, and might even want to cultivate him into a confidant, so he was offering a generous reward to gain his loyalty.
Xiao Mo didn't think much of it, but serving a ruler was like walking on thin ice, and he needed to be careful in everything he did.
As Xiao Mo's thoughts drifted away, he unknowingly walked out of the palace.
Outside the palace gates, Xiao Mo stopped and looked ahead.
Before Xiao Mo stood a girl in a light pink dress, standing straight like a newly blossoming cherry blossom, with an elegant and refined demeanor.
She wore a light pink palace dress with an outer layer of extremely thin gauze embroidered with dark lotus patterns. A moon-white brocade belt was tied around her waist, with a pigeon-blood gemstone in the center, perfectly outlining her slender waist.
The girl had a slender and graceful figure, with shoulders like those of a sculpted figure and a waist as slender as a silken thread. Her waist-length black hair was not tied up in a bun, but flowed down like a black spring. The ends of her hair were adorned with tiny pearls by silver thread, which shimmered as she moved, like a galaxy of stars falling.
Looking up, there was a perfectly oval face with skin as smooth as jade, and a hibiscus flower decoration on her forehead, which made her eyebrows and eyes even more delicate.
Her pupils were clear amber, and when she looked around, they were both affectionate and a little aloof. Her nose was straight and beautiful, and her lips were naturally red without any makeup. Her lips were full and her corners were naturally upturned, and even when she was silent, she seemed to be smiling.
Looking at the boy standing there in a daze, the girl smiled slightly, her beauty captivating: "Sister Peanut said that girls change a lot as they grow up, and the same goes for boys. She said you will definitely change and won't be the same as you were when you were little."
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "So, in your opinion, have I changed?"
The young girl took light, graceful steps forward and examined the girl closely: "It's changed!"
"What has changed?" Xiao Mo asked.
The girl covered her face with her hands, her eyes slightly raised above Xiao Mo beneath her curved, upturned eyelashes. Each blink was like a gentle ripple on a spring lake.
Compared to before.
She looks even better now.
