Chapter 93 Surprised (1)

Three days passed quickly, and today is the day when General Lan Hong returns in triumph.Lan Hong acted in a low-key and cautious manner, which was why the emperor trusted him so much after he had been a general for so many years.

Every time he returns from a battle, the first thing he does is to hand over the soldier talisman in his hand to show his indifference to power.It is precisely because of his cautiousness that Qing Tianen, who has always been suspicious, trusts him so much.

At this time, Lan Hong's army had already arrived at the city of Kyoto, and this time Lan Hong made another great military exploit.Several small countries around the Nanyue Dynasty will launch several large-scale wars against it every year. Although the Nanyue Dynasty is powerful, it is still difficult for the several small countries to unite and get rid of it.In addition, there are not many generals available in the court now, so Qing Tianen has been unwilling to let Lan Hong, who is nearly sixty years old, return to his hometown for retirement.

On the city wall, Qing Tianen personally came to welcome Lan Hong's return.A person who takes power lightly will not become a serious problem.

From a distance, I saw a red flag, and the blue characters on it were particularly eye-catching.A smile appeared on Qing Tianen's face, and he hurriedly waved his hands, "Quick, follow me down to meet General Lan."

After finishing speaking, he quickly walked down the tower, and the princes and ministers behind him hurriedly followed.Everyone knows how deep the emperor's trust in Lan Hong is, and of course some people were jealous and framed him.But every time Lan Hong was able to survive, it was all thanks to his usual caution.

On the side of the army, Lan Hong had already seen the bright yellow dragon robe, and every time the emperor came back to greet him, he was flattered.

Seeing the emperor coming, Lan Hong quickly got off his horse.He is not the kind of person who takes credit and pride, the emperor put down his face to pick him up, how can he not get off the horse?

Although he has repeatedly made outstanding achievements and is a general of the imperial court, in the eyes of the emperor, people like them are often a serious worry.The more talented a person is, the more he will become a thorn in the emperor's eyes.So for so many years, he has been abiding by his duty and never exceeding the rules, which has allowed him to live safely until now.

"Lan Aiqing!" Qing Tianen began to call Lan Hong from afar, with tears in his eyes.

At this time, Lan Hong can be said to be in a bit of a panic. This time he is going to Mobei to fight. The conditions there are difficult, and he can't even drink a sip of water.The year-long battle made Lan Hong lose a lot of weight.Originally a clean joint, now there is a hideous scar.Five months ago, I heard that Lan Hong was seriously injured, but he fought his way out with his injuries. Not only did he repel the enemy, but he also regained the lost ground, which made everyone in the barracks excited.

Seeing the scar on Lan Hong's face now, Qing Tianen couldn't help but feel a little moved.The prosperity of a country depends on these soldiers who are fighting outside.

Lan Hong was also in a hurry, and rushed to Qing Tianen, knelt down with a plop, and performed the ceremony of the emperor and minister, "I bow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Aiqing, please get up quickly." Qing Tianen hurriedly helped Lan Hong up, seeing his hideous and haggard appearance, with red eyes, "Lan Aiqing has worked hard all the way. You and I don't have to do those things. Xu Li, you are the pillar of our Nanyue Dynasty, and you are also the blessing of our Nanyue Dynasty."

"I don't dare to be a humble minister!" Lan Hong didn't say much, and kept his head down when facing Qing Tianen.

There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, Lan Hong is very clear about this truth.No matter what the emperor thinks of you, he will always be the emperor. Don't try to call yourself brother and brother with the emperor, that relationship will never exist.

Lan Hong took out a soldier talisman from his close-fitting corset, held it up in front of Qing Tianen with trembling hands, and said in a loud voice, "Chen Lan Hong has lived up to the emperor's will and has killed all the enemy troops five hundred kilometers away from Mobei. They repelled and regained Xianglin, Pyongyang, Nanwan and other lost lands. It is really the emperor's blessing that I can come back alive to see the emperor today. I have completed the military order issued by the emperor, and now I will return the soldier talisman to mobilize the three armies to the emperor."

Qing Tianen looked at the soldier talisman in Lan Hong's hand, nodded in satisfaction, ordered the people behind him to put it away, and stretched out his hand to help Lan Hong up, "Lan Aiqing has worked hard, I have already hosted a banquet in Chenghua Palace to cleanse Aiqing up. , quickly move with me to Cheng Huadian!"

"My humble minister bows to the emperor for his kindness."

"All the soldiers have worked hard, and today I will reward you one by one." Naturally, Qing Tianen will not forget to reward the soldiers, which is the most important part of stabilizing the morale of the army.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Qing Tianen saw Lan Hong's eyes looking for something in the crowd, smiled lightly, and said, "Is Lan Aiqing looking for your eldest daughter, Lan Ruoxi?"

Hearing this, Lan Hong was taken aback, and said with sincerity, "Your Majesty forgives the crime, I'm just worried about that child..."

"Hehe, Lan Aiqing can rest assured. Ling Qianjin is different now, she is now a talented woman of our Nanyue dynasty."

"Talented girl?" Lan Hong was even more surprised.
