Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 269
In the court hall, there were both the main station faction and the main harmony faction, but the main harmony faction won the undoubted victory.Most of the main station faction are military generals who stay in the capital, and the civil servants who are numerous and powerful are the main ones. They speak with a sharp mouth and speak freely, arguing that the generals are worthless, citing various examples And the truth to explain the importance of harmony.

In the end, the emperor decided that peace was better.The Platinum Kingdom has not been warlike since its founding emperor, and has always taken peace and development as its mission. The tradition of emphasizing civility over military affairs also illustrates this point.It can be said that if other countries do not take the initiative to attack, the Platinum Kingdom will not take the initiative to invade other people's land. It is a peace-loving country at best, but it is actually a bully at worst.But if the enemy came to attack, according to the previous military strength of the Platinum Kingdom, it would have to retreat steadily.

But now, their Platinum Kingdom has an invincible Xu Mu, so the situation of the battle has been reversed, and the initiative of the war has finally been held by the Platinum Kingdom. As a state of etiquette and peace-loving country, since Xishu Kingdom has already After asking for peace, what reason is there not to agree!

Once the national prestige of the Platinum Kingdom was promoted, the emperor was overjoyed, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty no longer targeted the generals as before. After all, this was the second time for the whole country to celebrate a big event. The emperor was in high spirits. The victory of this expedition It really made everyone happy in the Platinum Kingdom, from the Duke of Houmen down to the common people.

Civil servants should restrain themselves and know how to measure. They want to restrain themselves, but at the same time they restrained, they began to worry again.

They never forgot that the emperor himself said before Xu Mu's expedition that if he wins, he will be given the position of first-rank general of hussars. Now, the general will also have a first-rank official, and the power of the military officer will become stronger and stronger. What they expected was really dissatisfied.

It was under the conflicted mood of joy and worry, excitement and anxiety among the civil servants who were accustomed to using verbal and written criticism, finally ushered in the day when the Western Expeditionary Army returned to the court.

On this day, the weather was fine and the golden wind was blowing. People holding golden chrysanthemums cheered and filled the whole street. From the time the battle report came from the border, this feat had overshadowed all other gossip. has become the hottest topic at the moment.

Whether it's storytelling in the streets or in teahouses, all kinds of stories and jokes about the heroic defeat of the generals of the Western Expedition Army have been circulated before they come back.

Almost the entire capital, where people are present and where people are talking, are discussing the heroic deeds of General Xu leading the Western Expedition to win all battles.Its popularity even quickly overwhelmed the previous scandal of the prime minister and son without any suspense.

In the Platinum Kingdom, where the court has valued civility over military affairs and the people have prioritized civility over military affairs for so many years, the attention paid to this triumphant return to the court has reached almost the attention of the whole city, which is really the first time in the century of Platinum Kingdom!so rare!

People didn't think much about it, they just thought it was too exciting to play this time!
Affected by this, the common people were looking forward to the day when the class teacher returned to the imperial court before dawn. It was the golden autumn at that time, and the chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and flowers of various colors were in the crowded streets. Obviously, there are still various eggs and other condolences in baskets waiting for the common people.Jing Zhaoyin arranged for the officers and soldiers to open a special road, leaving enough roads for the army to walk, and the outside of the officers and soldiers blocked on both sides were all crowded with civilians. Said, is also the first time to see such a lively scene.

Jing Zhaoyin and Chen Sheng expressed that he was very nervous and excited today, and the tension and excitement became even worse after seeing such a lively atmosphere while riding a horse.

After everything was arranged, there was no obstacle on the road leading from the gate of the city to the palace.

So this Mr. Chen is also waiting with the common people at this moment. He seems to be a little sweaty while holding the reins in his hands. When he went out in the morning, he tidied up his official uniform three times. Now his eyes are looking straight ahead, as usual. He was equally calm, but his anxiety was revealed by the hands that were wiped away from his sleeves for the third time today.

"Come here, how long will it take for the army to arrive?" Master Chen asked his subordinates for the fourth time, entrusting the hopes of the people.

The subordinates took the order to go, and came back after a while, clenched their fists and said, "My lord, the army has already reached the gate of the city for a mile."

Only one mile away, Mr. Chen retreated a little anxiously, with a smile on his face, and suddenly rode forward, "Come on, let's go to the gate of the city to meet him."

The direction along which Mr. Chen rode his horse was the city gate. Less than a mile outside the city gate, the army that was expected by thousands of people was slowly marching here. The one in the front of the team, wearing silver armor, was The commander-in-chief of the army is also the most eye-catching person in the city gate—Xu Mu.

Deng Zhixiang, wearing a black armor, rode his horse forward a few steps, keeping pace with Xu Mu's horse, and they could see the city gate from where they were now.

Deng Zhixiang stared boldly at the gate of the city and let out a haha, "I'm finally going home. It's been a hard time to be outside these few months!"

I don't know if it's my emotion or I told Xu Mu, but Xu Mu is the closest to him.

Deng Zhixiang didn't wait for the same feeling of returning home as he did, and turned his head to look at Xu Mu strangely, why did this kid become a dull gourd again? He's already at the door of the house, aren't he happy?

Looking at it, Deng Zhixiang saw that the leader of their army, the idol and hero in the eyes of the soldiers of the Platinum Kingdom and the common people, did not have any complacent pride at this moment, his eyes were calm and unwavering, and he was staring at the gate of the city in a trance. The focus is on that small opening, as if looking forward to it, as if looking for and waiting for something.

It seems that this person didn't hear him at all, and even if he did, he certainly didn't feel that he was talking to him.

Deng Zhixiang couldn't help rolling his eyes, a little depressed, but helpless, others don't know what General Xu is looking forward to, how can he not know?Just think about it for a while!
During the expedition, the little princess came to see her off outside the city gate. Now, she naturally hoped to receive the same treatment when she came back.

It's a pity, Deng Zhixiang also looked forward to it with Xu Mu, and began to count in his heart to see if he could see the little princess' car driving over before they entered the city.

But obviously, he didn't wait, Deng Zhixiang shook his head regretfully, seeing the loss of General Xu's eyes from the corner of his eye, he also expressed his understanding of his mood.

At this time, with the sound of horseshoes, they were getting closer and closer to the city gate, and their hearts were tense. Someone rode out of the city gate, could it be?

It's getting closer, and slowly, the line of sight is finally within reach, but the person riding on the horse is not what he thought in his heart, but Jing Zhaoyin and Chen Sheng in official uniform, and the two or three behind him should be his entourage .

Deng Zhixiang subconsciously turned his head to look at Xu Mu, only to see the expected sadness.

As soon as he saw them, Mr. Chen's eyes showed a bright light, he couldn't get off his horse in a hurry, and walked up to Deng Zhixiang and Xu Mu, respectfully and politely, "Congratulations to the great general on his triumphant return. The great general has made great achievements and is a blessing to the people !"

Xu Mu replied politely, and Master Chen ushered him in very enthusiastically with a smile on his face.

Deng Zhixiang walked beside Xu Mu on horseback, and patted Xu Mu's shoulder comfortingly. He didn't speak, but the encouragement and concern in his eyes were obvious.

A city wall, sometimes inside and outside are two completely different worlds.

Ren Xu Mu and Deng Zhixiang never imagined that after passing through that city gate, they could see such a lively scene and receive such a warm welcome.

It's not like he hasn't received the welcome from the common people when he came back from a victorious battle before, but this is the first time that he saw so many common people, crowding almost every place except the blocked road they had to pass through. Be full!

Cheers and shouts were endless, even louder than the battlefield. Many people held flowers and baskets in their hands and sent them to them, and even followed them all the way at the speed of their horses.

"Master Chen, what's the matter?" Deng Zhixiang couldn't help asking Chen Sheng next to him. Such a big scene frightened him. This was the first time in his life. How could he never know that he was so affected? The people welcome and love it!

Lord Chen replied with a smile, "The people in the city know that you have defeated the enemy, and they are waiting for you here before dawn today. Now you are well-deserved heroes in the eyes of the people of the country, and General Xu is a well-deserved god of war!" After speaking, Master Chen looked at Xu Mu's serious face, not minding but also admiring.

"So that's the case, the people are really enthusiastic." Deng Zhixiang has always been informal, since Jing Zhaoyin said so, he accepted it generously, which shows that he is very good!

From the beginning to the end, Xu Mu's expression was very calm. With his calm and solemn expression coupled with his armor shining in the sun, he was as indestructible as a heavenly man, and his majesty was so imposing that no one dared to approach him at all.

But it was such a mighty, calm and calm person who ensured the safety of all of them, preserved the territory of the Platinum Kingdom, and prevented thousands of people from being displaced.

Because of Xu Mu's majesty, the people who did not dare to step forward still worshiped the commander of the army enough, and their eyes were full of respect as if they looked at their idols.

On the other hand, Deng Zhixiang, who was smiling, harvested a lot of baskets of flowers from the common people, so many that he couldn't lift them in his hands, and he was on the horse, so he had no choice but to say sorry to the common people with a smile on his face, and in the end he was "shameless" He said that if it was sent to Deng's mansion, he would also welcome it.

With Deng Zhixiang present, the atmosphere of the scene was good, which made up for Xu Mu's unattainable majesty. Deng Zhixiang laughed so hard that his facial expression became stiff.

Xu Mu rode a horse in the middle of the road, and Deng Zhixiang and another general were two steps behind on the side. They received a lot of warm eyes along the way.

"I said," finally got a vacancy, Deng Zhixiang hurriedly said beside Xu Murer, "General, so many people admire you, you should be gentle and smile!"
