The news of Ye Yunyang's safety was sent to the imperial capital, and the emperor was overjoyed.

The prince smiled and said, "Our great hero has returned safely, and everyone's high hearts can be put back in their stomachs." ”

"yes. The emperor read the letter sent by Yin Ying carefully, and suddenly frowned: "Why did Princess Luo Yue personally send him back to the City of Thieves, this is not logical." ”

Indeed, the ghost-faced horse once went deep into the hinterland of the Han to kidnap people, such a good opportunity, Princess Luo Yue not only took Ye Yunyang back to Daqin and sent him to her husband, but took the initiative to send him back to the Han, how to explain?

The crown prince was also full of doubts: "Yin Falcon doesn't know, Yun Yang himself can't say clearly, when he saw Princess Luo Yue, he also thought that he would definitely be sent to Daqin, Ying Luo Yue just asked him a few simple questions, and then decided to send him back, which is really strange." ”

"What kind of medicine is sold in the couple's gourd?" the emperor couldn't figure out.

The prince said: "Yun Yang's character is trustworthy, and he will definitely not do anything to be sorry for the big man." ”

The emperor nodded: "I don't doubt this, he is a good boy." ”

If someone hears the conversation between the two, he will definitely feel ashamed.

The emperor picked up the fold on the table and said: "The greatest hero is back, and the reward can just be implemented...... You personally go to arrange the reward and send Feiyi to bring Yun Yang back, he is so seriously injured that it is necessary to go back to the imperial capital to recuperate. ”

"The retainers obeyed. The prince bowed.

At noon the next day, Chen Muyang, Huo Hong, Dongfang Pingtai, Dongfang Yixue and others came to the square outside the palace, and several medium-sized flying wings were slowly landing.

Yin Falcon was the first to jump off the flying wings and commanded everyone to carry Ye Yunyang down.

Dongfang Yixue ran over quickly, held his hand and asked with concern, "Yun Yang, how are you, is the wound still painful?"

He squeezed out a smile and said, "It doesn't hurt to see you." ”

The beauty blushed with shame, and Dongfang Pingtai came over to relieve the siege: "You kid, it's okay if you haven't seen you for a few months, you can go to Nanshan alone to lead the task of suppressing thieves, and make great contributions to the Han Dynasty. ”

He is now the junior eunuch of Guozijian, Ye Yunyang missed the day of school because of the Nanshan mission, but his name is still on the roster of freshmen, and even became the pride of Guozijian.

Ye Yunyang smiled: "Young Eunuch Dongfang, it's really rude to not be able to give you a New Year's greeting in person during the Chinese New Year, don't be surprised." ”

"Then why are you polite, you are in Nanshan, how can you give me New Year's greetings. The old man said with a smile.

Chen Muyang carefully checked his injuries and said, "The recovery is good, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace, let's hurry into the palace to face the saint." ”

Yin Falcon and his generals carried the stretcher with their own hands, and everyone walked to the palace together.

There is a jubilant scene in the palace, the Nanshan thieves have existed in the world for thousands of years, and they have also plagued the Han Dynasty for thousands of years, several emperors sent troops to collect, but in the end they were unsuccessful, Emperor Liu Qi decided the battle of the world, and his prestige rose to the extreme, and he was praised by those faceless ministers as the first emperor of the ages, the emperor of eternity.

Before the group ascended the temple, the sound of salute music was played, which was to welcome the victorious return of the hero.

Ye Yunyang was still lying on the stretcher, and there was no need to bow down like others, not only that, but the emperor also ordered someone to bring a reclining chair and put on a soft white bear skin for him to lie on.

The ministers were envious, there were many of them who were veterans of the two and three dynasties, and in their impressions, it was rare to give a seat in the court, not to mention the combination of a recliner and a white bear skin, Ye Yunyang was the first person to receive this honor.

With a smile on his face, the emperor said that Zhong Aiqing was flat, cast an approving look at Ye Yunyang, and said, "Prince, you can read the edict of reward." ”

"Yes. The prince got up from his seat, took the holy decree from the eunuch, and unfolded it unhurriedly.

The crown prince personally announced the edict, which was rare in the past, so it is not difficult to see how much importance the emperor's father and son attached to this battle.

The prince read aloud: "Holy Oracle, this battle against Nanshan, fortunately, the soldiers used their lives to achieve a great victory, killing hundreds of thousands of enemies, capturing and recruiting hundreds of thousands of thieves, which is a major victory of the Han Dynasty over Nanshan for hundreds of years, and the merit is in the future!" The first merit of this battle is Ye Yunyang, the Duke of Anping County, who is witty and brave, who gives advice to the country and lays the foundation for defeating the thieves, and is specially named the Duke of Nanshan County, with a reward of 10,000 taels of gold and 60,000 taels ......of silver;

Ma Hongyuan, Ding Yuanlang, Ge Zhengliang and others were awarded the titles of county marquis and township marquis, and the chief general of the Vietnamese army and the chief general of the Han army were named county marquis; Yin Falcon also got a township marquis, although it was the lowest level of the tenth-class title, but for him who had only fought a battle, it was definitely a great honor. Moreover, he was appointed as the general of Nanshan, led the people to garrison Nanshan, and changed from a dismissed general of the vassal states to the chief general of the main army of the Han Dynasty, which is definitely a gorgeous change.

Dai Jingwei was named a brave captain, you must know that the gold content of the title captain is very high, higher than some miscellaneous generals.

Wu Qinglin, the master of the Heavenly Kingdom, and his three apprentices had meritorious service in killing the king of thieves, and they also received corresponding rewards.

The biggest winner is Ye Yunyang, who was directly promoted from the county prince to the county prince, and crossed the county marquis level in the middle, such a leapfrog promotion is uncommon.

It's just that he can't figure it out, where is Nanshan County, he doesn't seem to have heard of it?

Chen Muyang explained in a low voice: "It's Nanshan, originally Your Majesty wanted to turn Nanshan into a mansion, and the mansion was located in the City of Thieves, but in order to facilitate the sealing of you, the mansion was deliberately downgraded to a county as your fief. ”

Ye Yunyang was taken aback, it turned out to be like this!

According to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, only the Duke of the Kingdom can enjoy a city as a fief, Ye Yunyang was promoted from the county prince to the county duke, and he has already jumped one level in the middle, even if he has great merit, it is impossible to jump directly to the Guogong. The emperor is well-intentioned, and he insists on demoting a prefecture to a county to him, which is equivalent to enjoying the treatment of the prince of the country in front of the county prince.

Due to the vast and sparsely populated Nanshan area, the emperor ordered to move one million people over within five years to build Nanshan into a rich land in the south of the Han Dynasty, and this matter was handed over to the prince to deal with personally, and it has already been implemented.

The reason why the emperor attaches so much importance to Nanshan is not only to give Ye Yunyang more benefits, but also to use it as a springboard for attacking Nanban.

Everyone was overjoyed, and the emperor ordered a feast to celebrate the victory of the southern conquest.

Ye Yunyang accidentally found Liu Yuying hiding behind the pillar, and she was grimacing at herself.

This girl is still so lawless, but she seems to have grown taller, and she looks like she looks like a man in men's clothes.

Ye Yunyang was unable to attend the banquet because of his injury, so the prince ordered his guards to send him back to the temple for recuperation, and Qu Pingyuan and the others prepared a complete set of treatment plans for him, including various pills and precious medicinal materials.

......

At the southern junction of the Qin and Han dynasties, the Ghost Face Army is in the middle of the camp.

The 700,000 Ghost Face Army was stationed within a radius of dozens of miles, with a total of twelve camps, fighting each other at an angle, at least blocking at least twice as many enemies as their own.

The reason why there are 100,000 fewer is because they are responsible for the formation and training of the new army, and yes, the Ghost Face Army is about to expand its strength again.

In the Great Qin Empire, no matter what new equipment there is, the Ghost Face Army is given priority, which is a habit formed in the past ten years.

The emperor trusts the ghost-faced horse and Princess Luo Yue very much, but whenever he encounters difficult military affairs, he leaves them to the husband and wife to make decisions.

The neighing of war horses sounded outside, and the ghost-faced horse walked into the big tent and greeted his wife who was reading the war book with a smile: "Princess, I heard that you went out yesterday?"

Princess Luo Yue put down the military book, raised her head and replied, "Yes, I went to Nanban to see Ying Qi." ”

Seeing that his wife's eyes were not shocked, the ghost-faced horse must have happened to something, and asked again: "What happened to Ying Qi's side, isn't Meng Huo very good to them?"

Princess Luo Yue looked directly into her husband's eyes and said word by word: "Ying Qi sent a letter, saying that when she left Nanshan, she rescued the seriously injured Ye Yunyang by the way, and asked us how to deal with him. ”

"Ye Yunyang?" The ghost-faced colt couldn't help but tense up, and his right hand, which was originally naturally drooping, suddenly raised and unconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword.

"Ying Qi said a lot of things I didn't know, such as you asked her to help Ye Yunyang secretly. Princess Luo Yue turned her head to look at the grimace mask hanging on the wooden shelf, leaving her husband with a back.

The ghost-faced colt pretended to be calm: "What you said was this, I asked Ying Qi to do it, why didn't I tell you?" Maybe I was too busy at the time, I forgot." ”

Princess Luo Yue was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly said, "Don't you want to know Ye Yunyang's situation?"

Under the mask, the colt's face was distorted, and he tried to say in a normal tone, "Is his injury serious?"

"Internal injuries, more serious. Princess Luo Yue said with deep meaning: "It didn't hurt his face, he was a boy with a beautiful face, his eyes were very bright, and he was very attractive." ”

The horse's hand holding the hilt of the sword began to tremble: "Then you...... You didn't do anything to him, did you?"

The princess turned her head and said, "The first time I saw him, I had the idea of killing him, but I didn't do that, because I knew how important he was to you. I have personally sent him back to the City of Thieves, and I have given him a Nine Turns Back Pill to help him heal his injuries. Don't worry, with the importance that Emperor Han attaches to him, I believe that he has returned to the imperial capital now. ”

The colt let out a sigh of relief, let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, and said heartily, "Thank you." ”

The princess smiled: "You and I are husband and wife, I just did what I had to do, and I don't need to thank you." Now that I know why you value him so much, and why you put on a grimace mask after you have finished your beard, even Yingqi, who is closest to us, knows very little about what you really look like. ”

The colt reached out and took off his mask, revealing a face full of beards, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "It is impossible for a person to control everything around him, and there will always be times when he can't help himself. You can rest assured, what kind of person I was before and will be the same after that, there will be no change. ”

The princess walked up, snuggled up in the bosom of the colt, and said softly, "You are my husband, and I will always trust you, and I will bear with you no matter what happens." ”
