Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 516: Yue Ruyan: At this moment, he is like an emperor

"Ladies, the Duke of Anguo is back." On the city gate tower, Wei Linchun, the magistrate of Xiangyang City, turned around and bowed to the ladies behind the screen.

The girls all looked delighted, especially Yi Shiyan, who walked out from behind the screen, looking into the distance with a look of deep longing on her face.

"Xiaolu, quickly, quickly help me up. I want to go and meet Erlang." Han Anniang stroked her bulging belly with one hand and put the other hand on her waist. She was about to get up from her seat, with a strong sense of anticipation in her heart.

Yi Shiyan hurried over to help her and said, "Sister Anniang, please be careful."

Needless to say, Xia Zhiqing supported Wu Mi, and all the girls stood up, looking into the distance with the same mind.

At this moment, on the broad and flat, endless official road, from the end of the horizon, one can see a forest of flags appearing, like a black flame that seems to engulf everything. On the horses, the brave cavalry guards wearing bright armor, holding the reins in their hands, are in high spirits.

Seeing the people and officials welcoming them at the city gate, the soldiers were shocked and straightened their backs.

Feeling those gazes, the soldiers' "vanity" reached its peak.

They fight desperately and sacrifice their blood in the front line. In addition to making achievements and living a good life, they also have feelings for their family and country. Isn't it because of this?

Enjoying the envious and admiring gazes of the crowd, the soldiers felt that all their efforts were worth it.

The originally uneven ranks in the cold winter suddenly became neat and orderly.

"Why are there so many war horses?"

A group of officials of all ranks in Xiangyang City looked at the countless war horses and muttered to themselves.

After all, it was common knowledge that Chen Jun was short of horses.

"Are you stupid? Duke Anguo annihilated 80,000 Jinxia barbarians in the north, and the barbarians have plenty of war horses. These must be captured spoils of war. Don't you see that these war horses are different from the horses in the south?"

"."

"Where is my husband? Where is my husband?" Yi Shiyan stood on tiptoe, but did not see Chen Mo in the army.

The other beauties also stretched their necks, looking for Chen Mo.

"It's the Duke of Anguo."

Someone shouted, and everyone in the audience looked over there.

When the Cavalry Guards were still three hundred steps away from Xiangyang City, all the soldiers reined in their horses and retreated to both sides, leaving a path in the middle.

Under a large banner of the central army with the word "Chen" embroidered on it, Chen Mo was dressed in black clothes, a jade belt around his waist, a long sword on his waist, and riding on a tall white horse. He was wearing a cloak and was holding the reins of the horse, walking in the front. On his right was Yue Ruyan wearing armor, and on his left was Xia Zhining who was also wearing armor.

Sun Meng followed with his personal guards.

Behind the personal guard camp were the Yue family members and their luggage and belongings. The Jiangdong Army and the Suzaku Guard were in the rear. As for Yue Ruyan and her more than 3,000 soldiers, they stayed in Yuzhou.

As the army approached Xiangyang City, Chen Mo also saw the women looking out from the city gate tower. When their eyes met, it seemed as if thousands of words were flowing between them.

"It's my husband, it's my husband." Yi Shiyan said repeatedly.

"Go down quickly to greet Yingying, quickly." Han Anniang said excitedly, but she did not dare to take big steps, and urged Yi Shiyan to help her down.

When the officials saw the army, they had already gone down.

When Chen Mo arrived at the city gate, all the women had come down.

All the officials bowed and saluted: "Your subordinates greet the Duke of Anguo, and you have worked hard on the journey." At this moment, the soldiers of the Chen army who stayed in Xiangyang City also saluted in unison: "Your subordinates greet the Duke of Anguo."

The sound of thousands of soldiers saluting was uniform and like an overwhelming tidal wave.

For a moment, the people were also infected by this emotion, shouting "Duke Anguo" with a deafening voice that almost reached the sky and could be faintly heard several miles away. Yue Ruyan, who was beside Chen Mo, felt her breathing stagnate slightly and her heart was inexplicably agitated.

It felt as if Chen Mo was the emperor here, worshipped by tens of thousands of people, and all the people in the world submitted to him, reigning supreme.

Moreover, Yue Ruyan could see that this was love from the heart, not coercion. Even when she was the lord of Longyou, she had never experienced such a scene.

Because by her generation, the Yue family still had a great influence in Longyou, but some places had gradually lost their awe of the Yue family.

Thinking that I would soon become his woman, I couldn't help feeling a little intoxicated.

In the back, the members of the Yue family heard all this and saw this scene, and they were also filled with awe from the bottom of their hearts.

All the way from Yuzhou, Chen Mo's "supremacy" in everyone's hearts is enough to prove that Chen Mo has absolute control over these four states.

In the carriage, Yue Ruyan's mother's face turned red.

You have to know that before this, the relationship between Yue Ruyan and Chen Mo was "coerced", so Yue's mother had some opinions about Chen Mo in her heart.

But at this moment, all these views were swept away. Thinking that Chen Mo would be her son-in-law in the future, Yue's mother couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Yue, who were mixed in the crowd and couldn't even stand in the front, were shocked and then their faces became excited.

As the Xiao family joined the Chen army, Xiao Yi was naturally released and came to Xiangyang with Madam Xiao, hoping to get a job under Chen Mo by relying on his relationship with Madam Xiao.

As Chen Mo became more powerful, those of them, his "in-laws", also felt somewhat proud of it.

Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong also had the same feeling as them. The difference was that they wanted to rely on Chu Juan's relationship to get a job under Chen Mo.

Chen Mo seemed very calm about this. He got off the horse. Sun Meng quickly stepped forward to take the reins and stepped aside. Chen Mo said loudly, "No need to be polite."

At this time, Wei Linchun called the officials nearby, and they all shouted in unison: "Thank you, Duke Anguo."

When Yue Ruyan, who was beside him, heard this, she felt the emperor's feeling even stronger.

Chen Mo nodded.

Wei Linchun was also very considerate. He did not discuss official business at this time, but left space for Chen Mo's family.

Chen Mo walked towards Wu Mi and the others.

Yue Ruyan and Xia Zhining also quickly dismounted. There were soldiers to take care of their horses. The two women followed Chen Mo and moved forward together.

"It's so cold outside, why come out to greet me? Just wait for me to come back home." Chen Mo raised his hand and held Wu Mi's hand, saying softly.

"Isn't it because the child misses you that he keeps kicking me?" Wu Mi stared at the man in the black brocade robe, her eyes full of tenderness and longing, and then she whispered, "I miss you too."

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Mo knew how hard it was for a pregnant woman, and gently patted the back of Wu Mi's hand.

"My husband is the one who has a hard time. I stay in your house every day, either eating and sleeping, or sleeping and eating. I haven't helped my husband in any way, so how can I be said to have a hard time?" Wu Mi said.
