Chapter 767 The Queen’s Personal Welcome【[-]】

The scale of Shendu City is one of the best in the world today.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the prosperity of the city. There are actually residential areas and handicraft workshops outside the city, which are no less lively than the city.

When Su Xian and his entourage approached the city of Shendu, countless people gathered on both sides of the broad official road. They cheered enthusiastically, lined the streets to welcome them, and shouted in all directions:
"Your Majesty has worked hard!"

"The common people are waiting to meet the Marquis!"

"..."

Su Xian also enjoyed this moment, waving around and interacting with the people. This action triggered a bigger round of cheers, and people kept shouting excitedly along the way:
"Master Hou is looking at me!"

"Go away, the Marquis is obviously looking at me!"

"Wow, the Marquis said hello to me..."

"..."

"Master Hou, I want to give you a monkey!"

"Master Hou, the slave family wants to marry into the Hou family as a concubine..."

There was a group of young girls in the crowd, hot and unrestrained. They covered their blushing faces with silk and cheered sweetly, boldly expressing their feelings.

Su Xian was surprised and couldn't help but turn his head to look. Of course, he always had a faint smile on his face.

"Ouch! Master Hou smiled at me!"

Several young girls pressed their hands on their hearts. They were so excited that they fainted and fell to the ground on the spot, almost causing a riot.

When Princess Lanling saw this, she couldn't help laughing and said:
"It seems that there are many women in the city who are in love with Marquis Fan Yang. If I take a closer look, I can see that they are not ordinary women. They are all the daughters of the civil and military officials of the dynasty!"

"Marquis Fan Yang has returned in triumph, why not take the opportunity to have a few more concubines? Don't miss out on the wishes of young ladies!"

"..."

The smile at the corner of Su Xian's mouth dropped slightly. He always felt that Lan Ling's words had a sour meaning. He immediately looked at the princess and said:

"They are all vulgar and vulgar, and they are not as beautiful as the princess. If they can have one-tenth of the beauty of the princess, the lower officials will be happy."

After hearing this, Princess Lanling actually smiled and said: "Marquis Fan Yang went to Liao Kingdom, and after he came back, he learned to talk a lot, which made me look at him with admiration."

"..."

At this time, the thousands of soldiers who had followed Su Xian back from Yunzhou had already been relocated, and the imperial troops brought by Princess Lanling had also returned to their respective camps.

Currently, the only people following Su Xian are Tang Shujing, Yang Zhilan, Yan Dashan, Guan Ping, Qianmianhu and others. They have all made great achievements and can enter the palace to receive rewards from the Queen.

Tang Shujing followed on horseback. At the beginning, she was welcomed by the people. The joy in her heart could not be described in words.

But then, those shameless bitches actually shouted in the street, "Master Hou, I want to give you a monkey" or "Master Hou, I want to marry into the Hou family as a concubine"?
Tang Shujing's face instantly turned ugly.

That's her brother-in-law, you bitch, get away, if it was normal, she would definitely catch these bitches and give them a hard lesson!
It's so shameless to make a fuss in the street!
……

Finally, Su Xian and his party approached Shendu City.

The tall and towering city wall has come into view.

But they did not enter the city immediately, but detoured to the south of the city, preparing to enter the city through the "Jianguo Gate" in the south of the city.

Because the city gate in the north of the city is actually the palace gate of the imperial city, Su Xian must parade in "Tianjie" when he returns home in triumph. It would be inconvenient to enter from the north of the city.

It just so happens that inside the "Jianguo Gate" in the south of the city is the "Tianjie".

The Sky Street is more than 100 meters wide and is the largest and longest main road in the city of Shendu. It is actually an unparalleled honor to be able to parade on the Sky Street.

Su Xian returned triumphantly and was fully qualified to parade on Tianjie.

Not long after, Su Xian and his party, surrounded by the common people, slowly came to the Jianguo Gate in the south of the city.

Su Xian could see clearly that the Queen was indeed waiting there.

She is sitting upright, wearing a gondola, a "bead curtain cap" on her head, and carrying the sun and moon on her shoulders. This is the emperor's "formal attire", which highlights the importance she attaches to Su Xian's triumphant return.

Next to the queen were the royal family members headed by the prince, as well as various nobles, etc., all dressed in costumes.

In addition, martial law has been implemented within a ten-foot radius of the Queen, and countless people are protecting her safety overtly and secretly, such as the Thousand-Year Guard, Thousand-Niu Preparation, Forbidden Army, Internal Guard Masters, etc.

The carriage of Su Xian and Princess Lanling stopped ten feet away. They quickly got out of the carriage and walked to the Queen to stand half a foot in front of her, performing the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

The Queen smiled broadly, raised her hand slightly and said:

"No gift, flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the ceremony, Princess Lanling paid her respects again:
"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to personally lead hundreds of civil and military officials ten miles out of the city to welcome Marquis Fan Yang on his triumphant return. Now that Marquis Fan Yang has safely returned to the divine capital, please make your decision."

"Yes." The queen nodded, looked at Su Xian, and said with a smile:
"Su Aiqing, you have finally returned safely. You have had a hard time traveling to the Liao Kingdom. I and the courtiers are all aware of what you have done. On behalf of the people of the world, I would like to thank Su Aiqing for your selfless dedication!"

"Su Aiqing has made such a great contribution, I will definitely reward you heavily!"

"..."

Su Xian immediately said politely: "I am a minister of the Great Liang Dynasty. It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries. I dare not expect extravagant rewards."

The Queen was very satisfied with Su Xian's humble attitude and waved her hand without any doubt: "I have always made clear rewards and punishments. If I say I want to reward, I must reward!"

"Then I would like to thank your Majesty." Su Xian borrowed the donkey from the slope.

Then, Tang Shujing, Yan Dashan and others came forward to pay homage to the Queen. The Queen nodded with a smile and said with a smile: "They are all generously rewarded!"

Afterwards, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and other dignitaries came forward to pay tribute.

Su Xian's return with a great victory was not just as simple as forcing the Liao army to retreat. His achievements were enough to be recorded in the annals of history. Not to mention ordinary nobles, even the prince did not dare to show the slightest disrespect, although in his heart Mixed flavors, very unpleasant.

The Queen finally smiled and said:
"Su Aiqing, I have prepared a sumptuous banquet in the main hall of the Wanxiang Shrine to welcome you. In addition, I and the courtiers are very curious about the details of Su Aiqing's trip to the Liao Kingdom. You have to tell us."

"I obey!" Su Xian nodded.

At this time, a eunuch drove up an extremely luxurious and spacious "open carriage". The empress invited Su Xian to ride with him, and Su Xian happily boarded the carriage after being polite.

The carriage started slowly and passed through "Jianguo Gate" to "Tianjie".

Yan Dashan, Tang Shujing and other heroes also boarded the smaller open carriage and followed behind. They will share the glory of the Tianjie Parade with Su Xian.

The sky street is more than 100 meters wide, and their carriage is driving in the middle.

There was a gap of several feet on both sides of the carriage, and then there was a row of neatly-dressed Imperial Guards, standing with guns in hand to keep out the onlookers.

In fact, when Su Xian and the others just walked out of the "Jianguo Gate" and arrived at the Tianjie area, the people on both sides gave out strong cheers and cheers. The excitement was far more lively than when they were just outside the city. Deafening.

Today, the great hero Su Xian returned to the court in triumph, and the streets of the divine capital city were deserted.

Most of the people gathered near Tianjie, wanting to have a glimpse of Fanyang County Marquis.
