Chapter 176 Promoted to General

On the last day of April, Ren Ning just returned home.

Guan Yi took Zuo Shilang and several subordinates to Yong'an Hutong with complicated faces.

Looking up at the words "Ren Zhai" on the lintel, he waited quietly for a while.

As a result, no doorman came out to ask questions.

cough!
Zuo Dailang behind him coughed and stepped forward tactfully.

Boom!

The door rang.

However, it was still quiet inside for a long while, as if no one was there at all.

After looking at each other, he had no choice but to raise his voice and shout: "Is General Ren at home?"

"Who is it?" Jixiang heard the movement, and trotted all the way to open the small door.

"Who are you?" With a vigilant look on her face, she looked up and down at the people in front of her and the frame behind her, not intending to let Guan Yi and the others in.

cough!
Although she is a small maid, Zuo Shilang dare not trust her.

He had to cough again, and introduced in a warm voice: "Girl, I am from the Yamen of the Ministry of War. This is Lord Shang Shuguan. Is General Ren at home?"

"He is the Minister of the Ministry of War?" Ji Xiang looked at Guan Yi who was dressed in an official uniform with suspicion.

The Ministry of War governs most generals.Only the soldiers from all over the world tried their best to please them. How could the minister of the Ministry of War turn around and visit the generals in person?
This unscientific.

But this is the imperial capital, so few people would dare to wear six official uniforms indiscriminately.Ji Xiang curled his lips and stepped out of the way: "Come in!"

The rookies in front of them are weak and weak, and they are weak when they walk.Not to mention that Ren Ning is at home now, even if his generals are not there, Ji Xiang is not afraid of them.

cough!
Zuo Shilang coughed again, and reminded again concisely: "Girl, this is the Minister of the Ministry of War?"

The dignified six high-ranking officials, and Ren Ning's immediate boss, isn't it worth opening the front door of the small Ren's house, lowering the threshold, and walking backwards to greet him?
"I know." However, the little maid from the grassland didn't understand what he meant at all, she just nodded in confusion and said, "Didn't you introduce his identity just now?"

Zuo Shilang burst into tears, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Go in." Guan Yi raised his head to look at the sky, then glanced at the closed door next to him, and silently walked through the small door into Ren's house with trembling corners of his mouth.

Arrived at the main hall.

Ji Xiang served the guests good tea, and she pointed her hand back: "Wait a minute. I'll go find our general right away. He's training his younger brother on the school grounds."

After finishing speaking, the little maid left in a hurry, leaving behind Guan Yi and the others who were looking at each other.

"My lord," Zuo Shilang couldn't help muttering, "This general has too few family members."

The huge front yard was empty everywhere, and there was only one young and naive maid welcoming the guests.

"But the yard is well-organized and clean inside and out," he added.

Guan Yi glanced at his subordinate lightly, seeing that he was still aggrieved, he remained silent.

You know the shit!

Such a newly promoted general with a clean and unfounded family background is the most favored by His Majesty.

Thinking about it he sighed again.

It's a pity that such a brave and resourceful soldier fell into the hands of the Starfall Legion first.

Waiting for others to be bored, Guan Yi picked up the teacup on the table and sniffed it lightly, his eyes lit up immediately.

It is actually the best old tea in the cloud.

This kind of tea is very rare. He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he can't get it everywhere.After finally saving a little in his hand, he would not take it out for others to taste unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, in Ren Ning's place, a maid who doesn't know the rules can get it easily?

For a moment, Guan Yi felt a little sad, and quickly tasted it suspiciously.

After tasting it, he let out a long sigh and gave up completely.

Just as he was being wronged, there was the sound of trampling footsteps at the back door.

Ren Ning and his wife, Lei Er and Li Hebai strode in.

"Ren Ning/Lei Yu of the Starfall Legion, Li Hebai of Zhennanguan has met Master Guan, He Shilang."

When the two parties met the ceremony, there was a chatter of reciprocity.

At the end Ren Ning asked: "I don't know if Mr. Shang Shu will come to the humble house, what's your business?"

Guan Yi laughed.

"The empire has always paid attention to clear rewards and punishments. The soldiers on the front line fought well, and the military department was honored even though it was far away from the imperial capital."

"Although the Ministry of Criminal Justice is still investigating the crimes of Nan Fengren, it is impossible to convict them for the time being. But our Ministry of War and the family of the soldiers on the front line don't talk about each other. This will work overtime and finally calculate your military merits."

"I'm here this time to raise the ranks of the generals."

hum~
"Great!"

"Finally the day has come."

Although Ren Ning and the others had already known it well, they couldn't help being overjoyed at this time.

The left servant next to him hurriedly took out the silk book, starting with Ren Ning, and described in detail the great and small contributions he made during the battle against Nanfeng.

It was finally finalized.

"On April 29th, [-]th year of Changxing, it was verified by the Ministry of War that Ren Ning, the seventh-rank brave captain of the Xingluo Legion, has repeatedly made outstanding achievements during his overseas expeditions..."

From the fifth-rank general Xuanwu!
"Only from the fifth rank?" Ji Xiang on one side was very dissatisfied.

The little maid actually didn't know how high Cong Wupin was, but she felt quite uncomfortable with the word "Cong".

As for the gold, silver, jewels, and fertile land servants that came along with the promotion rewards, auspiciousness is not in their eyes.

Back then, when the Starfall Legion or their own generals broke through the Nanfeng Palace, some of the gold and silver treasures they found had to be handed over to the treasury, but there were not a few of them left in their hands.

In a word, they are not short of money now.

Guan Yi looked at the little maid mercilessly.

If this was his family's Shangshu Mansion, if the servants dared to interrupt indiscriminately when the master and the guests were talking, it would be inevitable to beat the disabled and sell them off.

Besides, in just over half a year, Ren Ning rose from the seventh rank to the fifth rank, a full three ranks.

This is already a very rare promotion speed.In Yunchui's hundreds of years of history, there is no one other than Princess Yiguang more than 40 years ago. It can be said that there is no one before or after.

This little maid who doesn't know what is good or bad is actually considered low-level?

Ren Ning knows the good and the bad.

He thanked Guan Yi and Zuo Shilang first, then looked at Ying Pan who was full of spring breeze, and said with a smile: "This rank is not low. At least I fulfilled the promise I made when I left the imperial capital last year."

"My husband is right. Those who are content are always happy." Yingpan nodded with a smile.

Guan Yi's face looked better now.

He asked Zuo Shilang to read out all the promotion orders of Lei Er and Li Hebai.

Lei Er has been promoted to the sixth rank, and he can't stand on his own for the time being.

However, because Li Hebai had ancestral shadows in his family, the guerrilla general's mansion far away in Guangxin County was upgraded to a fifth-rank general just like Ren Ning.

As for the plaques of the two general's mansions, the Ministry of War is rushing to make them, and it will take a few days to deliver them.

After the ramblings, Guan Yi reluctantly glanced at the curling tea bowl, ready to say goodbye.

Ren Ning had sharp eyes, so he asked Ji Xiang to give him some.

"I grind the old tea leaves from Yunzhong County from General Wei, and the quantity is not much. I hope Lord Guan doesn't mind."

"Where is that!" Guan Yi was already happy.

At this time, when I heard that the tea leaves actually belonged to Wei Junqian, I felt suddenly and emotionally, and consciously elevated Ren Ning's position in my heart, not to mention not daring to complain.

It's just that civil unrest broke out in the three counties in the west, and he was busy with official duties.

Guan Yi wanted to go to Uncle Zhongyong's mansion with an excuse, politely rejected Ren Ning's persuasion, and left in a hurry with his subordinates.
