Chapter 119: A Love Debt Falling from the Sky
Without staying long in the city of Katak, the 3rd Division once again embarked on the road back to Beijing, which was less than two days away from the imperial capital, and if it went west at this time, it would only take two or three days to reach the city of Qiubo.
After leaving the city gate, Moknash followed behind David Mo and suggested, "Commander, why don't we go west and have a look at Qiubo City." ”
His proposal was immediately responded to by many officers around him, and anyway, the emperor didn't say when he would go back, even if he went to Qiubo City, no one would say anything.
Facing the words of the people around him, David Mo shook his head, and he smiled faintly: "The emperor is still waiting for us to go to Beijing to report on our work, Qiubo City is a private matter, how can we abolish the public because of private affairs!"
In fact, he didn't want to see his own territory, but unfortunately he knew in his heart that his current situation - it looked like scenery, but in fact it was like walking on thin ice!
Of course, he knew what a rich fiefdom represented, and he could not receive such a reward according to his military exploits. Moreover, he has no foundation in the empire at all, and he has suddenly risen to such a high position, I am afraid that many people will be unconvinced.
So seeing that Moknash had to persuade him again, he shook his head lightly and said: "Don't discuss this matter again, I have made up my mind, and it is the right thing to return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”
On the next road, I didn't encounter any necromantic cultivators. Everywhere they went, they all cheered, and officials at all levels asked to see each other, but they were all rejected by David Mo one by one.
Two days later, the entire army finally arrived in the imperial capital at noon, and the mighty city of Yale was close at hand. Yelu XIII, who had already heard the news, had already ordered the Marquis of the First Class and Minister of Military Aircraft, Budilson, to personally lead officials at all levels of the Military Aircraft Department out of the city to greet him.
I saw flags waving in the distance, dust flying, and a mighty army gradually appeared on the horizon. A cavalryman galloped in. After turning over and falling off the horse, he knelt in front of Buddilson's car. shouted: "Report to your lord, the third division of the Royal Forbidden Army has arrived!"
Buddilson gently lifted the curtain. After letting him retreat, he said to the guards who were gathered beside him: "The army has returned triumphantly, I will come forward to greet him together!" and then followed behind his car, and the car of dozens of officials marched forward together.
At this time, David Mo had already learned the news of Budilson's greeting, and saw a group of soldiers in the distance coming with dozens of exquisite carriages, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to stop at the horse.
Just now, an official had already come to inform him of the problem of etiquette, and the Minister of Military Aircraft came to greet him, and according to his official position, he had to dismount to greet him.
So he immediately shouted: "Dismount the whole army! Several heralds galloped away, commanding David Mor's command.
More than 5,000 people were ordered to dismount, and they followed behind David Mo and greeted the guard of honor who was riding in the carriage.
After the two sides approached, someone immediately came up to introduce Budilson's car, and David Mo hurriedly bowed and saluted: "David Mo, commander of the third division of the lowly Royal Forbidden Army, meet the Minister of Military Aircraft!"
As his voice fell, more than 5,000 people shouted at the same time: "Meet the Minister of Military Aircraft!" The whole scene was extremely spectacular, and the huge sound was deafening.
Sitting in Budilson, he saw that David Mo did not bow down. The look of dissatisfaction in his eyes flickered, and he slowly pushed open the door of the carriage and walked down with a smile on his face, and a group of guards immediately surrounded him.
The star-studded Buddilson laughed and said, "Great, strong, all the soldiers, hurry up!" and then broke free from the guards around him. He stepped forward and grabbed David Mo's arm and looked him up and down.
When the other officials around saw Buddilson get out of the carriage, they had no choice but to get out of the carriage as well. David Mo glanced at the officials around him, and his heart was slightly cold. But it didn't show it on the face.
"I didn't expect it, it's clearly a well-mannered jade-faced scholar. Where is there a little bit of a fierce general on the battlefield!" The smile on his face became thicker and thicker, and he glanced at the officers surrounding David Mo, and nodded: "They are all pillars of the empire!
David Mo broke free from Budilson's pull without leaving a trace, bowed slightly and said: "It is the duty of a soldier to serve the king, and the lord has been rewarded." ”
A flash of anger flashed in Budilson's eyes again, he has been in a high position for many years, and he has already developed the habit of commanding, David Mo's attitude of not being humble or arrogant is undoubtedly a kind of disrespect in his eyes!
However, he has been up and down for many years, and he has mastered the control of emotions, so he is silent at the moment, retracts the smile on his face, and says lightly: "The country needs a pillar like Master Mo!
Seeing that David Mo's face was still not salty, he sneered in his heart, and continued: "Master Mo, there is still a holy decree for you here. ”
His voice fell, and immediately someone who looked like Xue next to him handed over a wooden box, Budilson took the wooden box, and after opening it, the silver-white anti-counterfeiting light flashed inside.
David Mo took the lead in kneeling down on one knee, and as he knelt, the entire army behind him fell to his knees like dominoes in an instant. Seeing that thousands of people all fell to their knees, a hint of pride flashed in Budilson's eyes, and then he opened the holy decree and began to read it.
"The light shines brightly, and the Holy Empire prospers: all the officers and men of the 3rd Division will return to the camp immediately, and the reward for the aftermath will be awarded by the Military Aircraft Department. Because the family of the second marquis of the empire and the commander of the third division of the Royal Forbidden Army, David Mo, was poor, so he specially gave the manor at No. 15 Langning Street for residence!
After reading it, Budilson handed over the holy decree to David Mo and said with a smile: "Master Mo has won the Sacred Heart, which is really gratifying!"
After David Mo received the decree, he turned over from the ground, and when he heard Budilson's words, he hurriedly said modestly: "The emperor's grace is immense, and David can only die to repay His Majesty!"
Budilson chuckled lightly twice, noncommittal, and then said to David Mo: "The emperor hopes that the officers at all levels of the Third Division can report on their duties as soon as possible, so I hope you don't delay it for too long......"
Without waiting for David Mo to speak, he continued: "As for your debriefing report, you don't need to hand it over to our Military Aircraft Department. The emperor wants to listen to your debriefing in person tonight, and when you wait in the mansion, someone will naturally pick you up. ”
According to the regulations of the army, after all the large army divisions return to the court, they must make a report to the military aircraft department, and the emperor generally does not inquire about this matter, and only for the generals who are extremely favored, the emperor will personally interview once.
Although Budilson didn't like David Mo in his heart, he couldn't deny that David Mo was indeed in the emperor's heart and was deeply loved by the emperor.
Seeing David Mo nodding yes, he smiled at David Mo and said, "Why don't I take you to see the manor on Langning Street first, and then set up a banquet for you?"
David Mo was a little embarrassed on his face, and politely refused: "There are still many things to explain in the army, the kindness of the adults is lowly and degraded, please let the humble post come to visit in person in the future!"
Seeing his refusal, Budilson did not show a little sorrow, and said with a light smile: "The door of the old man's house will always be open for you! When you are free, you must come!" After speaking, he smiled slightly and ignored David Mo, turned around and boarded the carriage to lead everyone away.
Tielebi looked at the car that was gone, and said fiercely, and said angrily: "One birdman, my master led the horse, and he dared to sit in the carriage!"
Moknash did not stop Tielebi, because his heart was also full of anger, and he said coldly: "These officials and masters are not afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers! The wind and rain come and go, is it just for this kind of person to enjoy wealth?!"
Several officers behind them also shouted and cursed, and when David Mo saw them getting more and more excited, he finally shook his head lightly and said lightly: "If they are willing to put on a shelf, let them put it up." After all, we only serve the emperor and have nothing to do with them. ”
Not wanting to entangle this issue with everyone anymore, he smiled lightly: "Go back to the camp to settle down first, I haven't returned to the school camp for so many days, I'm afraid that it has been dusted inside." ”
The school camp of the third division was established outside the city, and few troops were able to enter the city except for the emperor himself.
In the council hall in the school camp, David Mo sat in the handsome position, which originally belonged to Kuburi, and now belongs to him with Kubli's death.
"The ashes of each fallen soldier must be sent back, and the matter will be left to Moknash. When he said this, he thought of another thing, turned to Moknash, and said, "You have a million gold coins there, and you will send them all within today." ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at Moknash, he explained: "This money is the material we seized, but it has not been reported to the imperial court, and the soldiers have sacrificed their lives and deaths, I don't think there is anything wrong with this." ”
After the next things were ordered, including holidays, pensions, and duty, all the things were arranged, and he finally announced the dismissal of the meeting.
After everyone left, Mullingail walked up to him, his face was a little embarrassed, and he bowed down and whispered: "Division commander, there is a little beggar outside the camp who has been shouting to see you......"
David Mo picked up the teacup and said lightly: "What are you doing as the commander of the guard battalion for food?!" These little beggars just want two food dollars, just give some money and send them away. ”
Seeing that his face was a little displeased, Mullingail rolled his eyes a little complainingly, and finally said: "I gave him money, but he just didn't leave, not to say that you owe a love debt, and that you are ready to repay the debt......"
David Mo took a sip of tea lightly, frowned slightly, and said: "I owe a love debt? Do you believe this kind of nonsense? If you don't leave after giving the money, you will be beaten out with a stick!"
Mullingail's face turned red, and when he saw David Mo glaring at him, he finally told the truth: "He still roared...... Said you made his sister's belly bigger...... I have to give me an explanation. ”
David Mo was originally drinking tea, but when he heard his words, he was choked directly, and his saliva was all over the table, and he couldn't care much about it at the moment, so he directly put the cup on the table and walked out quickly.
Outside the gate of the school camp, when David Mo saw this little beggar, his first reaction was familiar! (To be continued......
