Chapter 440: Triumphant, reward based on merit

"Reporting to the Su Council, Your Highness personally leads all the subordinate officers and generals to greet you outside the gate of the camp!" A scout got off his horse in front of Su Xian and others and reported loudly.

"How can we keep the princess waiting for a long time with her body of thousands of gold? Send an order to speed up the march." Su Xian waved off the scout and rushed towards the north camp of Yingzhou City.

"Drive!"

Zhou Ji's Office, Qiudian Army and others could not hide their excitement and urged their horses to follow Su Xian closely.

Princess Lanling personally came out of the camp to welcome them on their triumphant return. This honor made them so excited that they wished they could grow a pair of wings and fly back to the gate of the camp.

Nearly.

The company camps stretching for dozens of miles are already in sight.

The official road in front of the camp is very wide, big enough for ten carriages to go parallel, with lush trees on both sides. Looking far ahead, you can see the tall gate covered with flags.

In the open space in front of the gate, there were many figures, most of them were neatly lined up with brightly armored soldiers, they looked like guards welcoming Su Xian's triumphant return.

At the gate of the camp, where the soldiers were gathered, dozens of figures stood casually, facing in their direction.

Su Xian saw it clearly. The person standing in the middle was wearing a purple palace dress that swept the floor. She had a graceful bearing. Even from such a distance, she could see her alluring appearance. Her graceful nobility rushed towards her face. This woman was not Lan Ling. Who is Princess Li Youqing?

Su Xian was filled with emotion and accelerated his horse to ride over.

Closer again.

The distance is only five or six feet.

Li Youqing, Wang Sima and other subordinate officers, as well as the generals in the camp, can all tell the difference.

Su Xian led everyone to stop here, dismounted, and walked up.

Li Youqing also moved lightly and took the initiative to greet her. As she walked, the purple palace skirt and various accessories were blown up by the breeze and drifted with the wind, which further enhanced her jade body and celestial figure. She was so beautiful and could not be blasphemed.

"Your Majesty, Su Xian, pay my respects to His Highness!"

When they got close, Su Xian led everyone to stop and perform the courtesy of a monarch and ministers together. Li Youqing couldn't hold back the smile on her beautiful face, and waved her hand gently:
"Thank you for your hard work in the battle of Youzhou. No courtesy."

"The princess has a body of gold and jade leaves. Princess Lao personally came out of the camp to greet her. I am really scared to see how virtuous and capable the subordinates are." After the ceremony, Su Xian was there to greet her politely.

"In the Battle of Youzhou, we annihilated [-] enemies and captured [-] prisoners. It was our first major victory in Daliang in more than ten years, and it was also our only major victory!"

Li Youqing smiled broadly, excited and proud, and continued in a loud voice:

"This battle is of great significance to me, Daliang. You are all heroes of my Daliang! Now that the hero has returned in triumph, I will personally go out to meet him."

"Thank you for the compliment, princess!" Su Xian and others thanked her.

"The beam must win! The beam must win! The beam must win!"

The soldiers lined up neatly outside the camp suddenly roared in unison at the same time, waving their red tassel spears while roaring. The military power was so strong that the sound shocked the field and was full of momentum.

Su Xian raised his eyebrows. This performance must have been rehearsed in advance.

It seems that Li Youqing put a lot of thought into welcoming their triumphant return.

After a while, the soldiers stopped shouting, but everyone's ears were still buzzing with thoughts, and it seemed that the four words "Daliang must win" were still echoing.

Li Youqing smiled broadly, her eyes fell on Su Xian, she nodded and said with a smile:
"I have always believed that Su Consultation can solve the crisis in Youzhou, but the military exploits of wiping out [-] enemies and capturing [-] prisoners are far beyond my expectations... I am very satisfied with you."

"Princess Miao Zan, in fact, this is all the credit of the princess. If the princess did not value the subordinate, the subordinate would not be able to make this credit."

Soo-hyun is humble and takes a shot at the horse.

Li Youqing smiled and nodded, not trying to distinguish whose credit it was, it was just a matter of fact, anyone who goes into it would be a fool.

She turned her eyes, looked at Yan Dashan behind Su Xian, and said politely: "The mighty Duke also contributed a lot in this battle. I will definitely report to Your Majesty and ask for credit for the Duke!"

Yan Dashan clasped his hands and said loudly: "The battle in Youzhou was all due to Su Zhiyi's contribution, the final general just did a little physical work, it's not worth mentioning."

A glimmer of light flashed in Li Youqing's eyes, and she glanced at Su Xian secretly. She knew about the relationship between Su Xian and Yan Dashan.

Wang Sima and other subordinate officers, as well as the generals present, all had strange expressions on their faces. Yan Dashan obviously contributed a lot in the battle of Youzhou, but he did not take the credit, but gave it to Su Xian...

Li Youqing knew that Yan Dashan was a little dissatisfied with the imperial court, so he immediately looked sideways at the Prison Department's second arrester, Thousand-faced Fox, and said politely: "The second arrester also contributed a lot in this battle. I will definitely ask your majesty to serve as the second arrester." Please take credit.”

The Thousand-faced Fox stood there frivolously, yawning while waving his hands and shaking his head, causing the two strands of hair in front of his forehead to sway uninhibitedly, and said with an indifferent smile:

"Thank you for your kindness, princess, but no, I'm just fighting this battle for a formality. The one who really made the difference is Su Zhenyi... If you want a reward, just reward Su Zhenyi."

"..."

Hearing this, Wang Sima and others were even more shocked. Their eyes flickered on the faces of Thousand-faced Fox and Su Xian, their eyes shining brightly. When did Su Xian become such a good friend with the second prison chief?
The credit you received was actually given away!
He is the second arrester of the Prison Department!

The actions of the second arrester were not in line with their character design.

Behind the crowd, Nangong Kui, the head of the Prison Department's Third Catcher, was also standing there. After hearing what Thousand Faced Fox said, a strange color appeared on his ice-cold face.

Nangong Kui knows what kind of person Qianmianhu is like. Before Qianmianhu left for Youzhou, he didn't pay attention to Su Xian, calling him a "little miscellaneous fish".

But now, he didn't even want such a big credit, but actually gave it away... This made Nangong Kui confused, and she was curious about what the second brother had experienced in Youzhou?
Li Youqing was also quite surprised in her heart, she knew exactly what kind of temper the thousand-faced fox had, and she wanted to show off in front of her before.

But the Thousand Faced Fox's attitude towards Su Xian is very strange, at least it's better than towards her.

Li Youqing was keenly aware of this.

She couldn't help but glance sideways at Su Xian's handsome face again, and wondered how did Su Xian get along with the Thousand-faced Fox?

Could it be because of "arithmetic solving the case"?

Li Youqing's eyes suddenly became profound, perhaps he could use this to make a good plan...

But now is not the time to make plans.

She finally shook her head and didn't think too much. Then she turned to look at Qiu Dianjun, Zhou Jishi and others. They all praised them and said they would be rewarded.

Qiudian Jun and Zhou Ji's office were naturally grateful. They were officials of the princess's palace, and it was their duty to serve Li Youqing.

However, Dong Dianjun behind Li Youqing didn't look good, and she pouted secretly. She had wanted to go to Youzhou to kill the enemy from the beginning, but she didn't go. Seeing Qiu Dianjun being praised by the princess, she was really disappointed.

Li Youqing is an excellent leader and naturally does not favor one against another. All the soldiers who followed Su Xian back to Yingzhou, as well as the wounded soldiers, etc., all received her praise and condolences...

Of course, generous rewards are essential.

For a time, the Yuanmen was bustling with excitement, and the soldiers returning in triumph were all smiling from ear to ear.
