A group of barbarian envoys also came with them. Xie Yuening first led them to the place where the envoys were received.
Several younger generations escorted Shen Lan all the way to the palace gate. The family did not have time to exchange pleasantries as Shen Lan still had to go into the palace to meet the emperor.
"My dear minister, you have worked hard along the way. This time, you have made an invaluable contribution to the retreat of the barbarians." The emperor smiled and helped the man up personally, and asked people to prepare a celebration banquet.
"It's all thanks to your Majesty's wise decision." Shen Lan said respectfully, but his legs stumbled when he stood up.
"My dear minister, are you injured?" the emperor asked worriedly. "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

The imperial physician carefully treated Shen Lan's wound.
Shen Lan didn't say a word the entire time. The whole Yangxin Palace was filled with the smell of blood, and the joy of winning the battle became somewhat heavy.
"Your Majesty, my legs are broken, and I am afraid I can no longer lead the troops." After everyone left, Shen Lan respectfully presented the military order to the emperor.
"Although the barbarians have agreed to peace talks, the border needs someone to guard it. Your Majesty, please order the selection of wise officials." Shen Lan wanted to stand up, but fell down because of the pain.
