Chapter 443
Jiang Yue led the troops and marched slowly, which was also a way to rest.
The generals finally realized the power of explosives.
Wu Fei: "General Yue's plan is great!"
Lin Guo: "In this case, what do I have to fear when I come to the East?"
"..."
Jiang Yue listened to the generals talking to each other.
"Making fuel takes time, so we must take the necessary precautions. We must not lower our guard because of this!"
"Yes!" The soldiers couldn't suppress the smiles on their excited lips.
At this time, Mu Heng looked at Jiang Yue.
"General, will you stay in the capital from now on?"
Hearing this, Lin Guo and Wu Fei also looked at Jiang Yue at the same time.
Jiang Yue asked Mu Heng in return: "Is Third Brother-in-law unwilling?"
"Of course I am willing." Mu Heng still wanted to revive the Mu family and was afraid that Jiang Yue would leave, so he asked.
"But, we might have to go out to fight." Jiang Yue was referring to the final decisive battle.
"Third brother-in-law is now my deputy general. You should pay more attention to military affairs in the future."
"And you, brother-in-law, Wu Fei, read more military books when you have nothing to do."
Jiang Yue is also training her third brother-in-law because of his calm mind and extraordinary martial arts. Of course, all the Xuanwu troops were trained by her one by one.
"Yes." Mu Heng said with a smile.
Lin Guo and Wu Fei never covered their loose lips.
…At noon the next day, Jiang Yue led his army back to the city in triumph.
On the city wall, Xue Wen saw their two thousand intact soldiers and a smile appeared on his lips.
"The general is back, open the city gate quickly!"
He shouted to the soldiers behind him, the city gate slowly opened, and Jiang Yue led his troops in.
The first thing to do after entering the imperial city is to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
This time, in addition to the six people she led on her first triumphant return, she also led Mu Heng and Lin Guo.
In the palace hall, Zhao Chongxiu had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Yue and other Xuanwu soldiers entering the hall, his usually solemn and dignified face also showed a smile.
"Your Majesty, I am here to see you!" Jiang Yue and other members of the Xuanwu Army came to pay their respects to the emperor.
The fierce temperament of the troops infected every courtier in the hall.
"Stand up." Zhao Chongxiu waved the sleeves of his dragon robe.
"Jiang Yue, you have been helping me with my worries since I came to the capital. Today, you have solved my worries for me. This is a blessing for the country, and you deserve a big reward!"
No one can match the young general's achievements. She was promoted to the position of defender of the capital a few days ago, and she really lived up to his expectations.
Jiang Yue replied:
"Your Majesty, I am only doing my duty. Protecting our country is the duty of the soldiers."
She was only thinking about making achievements in her career, keeping herself safe, and protecting all the family members she wanted to protect.
Zhao Chongxiu smiled and shook his head.
"You are too modest. I always reward those who have made contributions."
"Now that you have made great contributions time and again, your good fuel plan should be the first merit. From now on, you will be promoted to the second-rank Zhenguo General and rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver!"
"Each general of the Xuanwu Army will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver, and each captain of a thousand men will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver!"
Your Majesty originally thought that Ling Yunxiao bestowed titles on Jiang Yue too quickly, but now he is also bestowing titles repeatedly.
He was not afraid at all that Jiang Yue would become arrogant because Jiang Yue was calmer and more humble than anyone else.
Now that he has been given a generous gift, he is also thinking about how to use people well.
Capability has nothing to do with age, most people serve in the military for their entire lives and still remain a nobody.
When Jiang Yue and other Xuanwu soldiers heard about His Majesty's reward, they expressed their gratitude and were extremely excited.
Second rank? Because of her innate advantages, her military exploits improved by leaps and bounds.
Silver, the huge amount of silver that His Majesty has rewarded me with, is about to be in my hands again.
Jiang Yue thought to herself, isn't His Majesty very poor because of the years of war?
It occurred to her in just a moment.
Your Majesty has dealt with Zeng Guangren, Mu Yun and other ministers in the court one after another, and the money confiscated from their properties must be considerable.
Her guess was correct. The amount of silver and money Zhao Chongxiu seized from Zeng Guangren was staggering.
Jiang Yue led a group of Xuanwu soldiers out of the palace, and the Xuanwu soldiers had already begun planning their future path.
Only Xue Wen felt guilty about taking the money. After all, he had not played any role in this war.
After the matter was concluded, Jiang Yue returned to the camp and asked the soldiers to rest and have a day off tomorrow.
When I returned home, it was already dusk.
Jiang Wu Ni was looking forward to it. When she saw Jiang Yue returning home, she had already asked the two cooks to prepare a delicious dinner.
The general's mansion was as lively as during the Chinese New Year.
However, Jiang Yue thought that there was still no news about Princess Xining, and she wanted to know her current situation.
As for where Princess Xining is now?
Poor girl, she fell into the hands of Xiao Jingtian of Beiyan and was quite helpless.
That night, in a small town somewhere in Beiyan.
Princess Singh's hands were tied and she was ruthlessly abandoned in a woodshed, crying alone.
Just like before, she thought about death countless times.
However, she was timid and did not have the courage to die.
Suddenly, the door of the woodshed was pushed open, revealing Xiao Jingtian's evil face.
"Tell me, where was the young general from Donglin who pretended to be you that day?"
Singh said nothing, turned his head to the side, and Xiao Jingtian grabbed the bun on his head.
"Don't tell me!"
Singh raised his head and glared at the man in front of him.
"No matter how many times you say it, this princess doesn't know!"
After she finished speaking, Xiao Jingtian slapped her in the face, causing blood to ooze from the corner of her lips and pain in her head.
"Singer, you went back on your word and betrayed Beiyan. You will pay the price for Xining!"
"Betrayal?" Singer bit his lip. "We, Xining, are an independent country. When have we ever been a vassal of your Northern Yan? How can there be any talk of betrayal?"
"This princess is actually lucky to be kidnapped by Jiang Yue and save Xining from danger!"
What she said was what she thought.
She thanked her luck countless times that she did not marry the Crown Prince of Northern Yan.
Northern Yan was so cruel and ruthless. If they allowed such a country to gain power, how could Xining have a good ending?
Another slap landed on Singh's face, and Singer's head was buzzing.
"Really? Out of danger?"
Xiao Jingtian's evil lips slightly raised,
"If I hadn't thought you were still useful, I would have killed you long ago. Wait, the danger that belongs to you will come soon!"
He wanted to keep Singh, threaten Xining, and use him for his own purposes.
If the threat fails, he will make Princess Xining cry out to the heavens and the earth for help but no one will answer.
"Even if you kill me, you can't threaten my father." Singh had a miserable smile on his face with five red finger marks.
After all, in my father's eyes, the safety of the country is the most important thing.
"Long before, your Xining was already in the hands of Beiyan. If it weren't for Donglin's interference, do you think you could have survived until now?"
Xiao Jingtian's eyes flashed with strong hatred, "Donglin is also in the pocket of Beiyan, and the whole world is also in the pocket of Beiyan!"
After hearing this, Singh felt a chill in his heart, fearing that the words of this person would come true.
She couldn't help but shiver and curl herself into a ball, but in her heart she was hoping that Jiang Yue could save her.
But, does she still remember herself? Or maybe, she has already forgotten.
I actually miss her?
When Singh thought of Jiang Yue, he suddenly felt empty in his heart for some reason, and two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.
