The waves are splashing, and the sea and sky are aligned.
Since the winter monsoon mostly blows from northwest to southeast, the boat speed is very fast when returning.
It only took two days to drive from Panjin to Hong Kong City.
The past two days were not too fulfilling for Yan Bing. Every day, he was either exploring and exploring in various ways inside the cabin, or looking at the sea level from the top of the mast or the bow of the ship, following the rise and fall of the waves, chatting with seagulls.
Side by side, Yan Bing's mood was extremely beautiful from beginning to end.
But others... are obviously not as leisurely and elegant as she is...
Every day, the deck was filled with crooked soldiers, each one hugging the boat and vomiting to death.
The typical example among them is naturally Li Lingyue.
By the time she docked, her little face was sallow, her legs were shaking constantly, and she had become extremely thin, as if even her cheeks were about to be sunken.
Seeing her holding on to the railing of the sampan and moving under the boat inch by inch, Yan Bing could only hold back the evil smile while picking up the princess with distress and walked off.
Although she struggled forcibly twice, when Yan Bing said that she was the only woman in the whole ship, and either she or the soldiers came to hug her, Lingyue gave up completely.
So what happened to Senior Brother?
At first, this guy was so excited that he was the first to rush onto the treasure ship, but when he came down, he was carried down on a stretcher by two soldiers...
He looked half-dead and his face was dark.
Finally, the entire army rested in the port city for three days before they basically returned to normal, and then they began to break camp and return to Beijing.
The postmaster of the port city also prepared horses and carriages at the city gate early for Duke Dingguo and the military officers to ride.
After the victory and triumph, there was no talking all the way. When the troops entered the capital, the secret guards sent by Zeng Ke began to circle around Yan Bing again, but she was still completely unaware of it.
When the army arrived at the east gate of Tongshun County, they saw a eunuch announcing the decree standing at the gate of the city, followed by the young eunuchs and guards lined up behind him.
It seems that I have been waiting for a long time.
The eunuch who announced the decree first stepped forward, raised his hand to stop the driver, and then circled around the carriage. From the moment the carriage stopped until Yan Bing got out of the car, he kept bowing and saying various auspicious words, and his flattery changed.
Shooting back and forth in a variety of ways.
It wasn't until Yan Bing yawned inadvertently that he took the photo and took out the imperial edict from his sleeve. He also specially conveyed His Majesty's oral instructions to Duke Ding, saying that she would be exempted from the ceremony of kneeling before receiving the edict.
Then he slowly straightened his stooped back, unfolded the yellow scroll, and read aloud.
"Emperor Xuan Si Chengwu issued an edict: "The Marquis Yan Qihua is the auxiliary of the country. During this Northern Expedition, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, regained the lost territory, and pacified Beidi. He is the most loyal and courageous, and has unparalleled wisdom and wisdom. He can be said to be the pillar that determines the country and the sky, and can represent the crown of nobility."
Lord of all the heroes, I hereby grant you a treasure, and ennoble me as the Duke of Dingguo. I will never replace you. I will be a prince in all the dynasties, and the military academy under your rule will be praised for your loyalty and bravery, and your virtues will be expected. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace with the imperial edict to express my gratitude to you.
"
After reading the imperial edict, the eunuch who announced the edict hurriedly handed the yellow scroll to Duke Dingguo with both hands, and then helped the kneeling school officials up one by one, and said a series of auspicious words. It seemed that all of you had a bright future.
Talented men, I hope you will take care of your juniors in the future.
Yan Bing looked at the eunuch who announced the decree. He looked more than forty, rather than fifty. When he said these words to hundreds of households who were several times younger than him, he didn't even blush at all. He just felt,
He is such a talented person, no wonder he can sit in such a good position that is both profitable and relaxing.
He took the initiative to take out a one hundred tael silver note from his wallet and forced it into his hand.
"How could I not express my gratitude to my father-in-law for this troublesome trip? This is my little wish. I also ask my father-in-law not to see anyone else."
The eunuch who announced the decree was also a very perceptive person. He took the bank note and held it up high, bowed and said in salute: "The elder has given this gift, but I have no choice but to accept it. Thanks to Duke Ding for the reward!!"
Seeing this situation, several other school officials felt that no matter how reluctant they were, they were somewhat interested in it. However, they were all really poor. They only had a few hundred-tael banknotes with them, which were awarded by the Dingguo government, and they were reluctant to take them out.
.
In the end, the eunuch who announced the decree received a handful of broken silver. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. His expression changed back and forth, which made Yan Bing cover his mouth and chuckle as he watched.
After receiving the four-clawed python robe and crown given by the emperor, everyone bid farewell to this "elegant father-in-law".
Li Bing completely took off his disguise and shouted to the soldiers: "Those who have mothers, wives and children at home should go home. If it is not so urgent, I will set up a trap in Dingguo Gongfu tonight.
The whole army is here for the banquet! Let’s all get drunk before resting!!”
Feng Chen, who originally saw others about to be promoted to official positions, but could only look at him because of his teacher's fate, once he heard the four words "get drunk and rest", he immediately became energetic and made the old man look black.
He smiled brightly.
After all, during this trip, which lasted for more than two months, he had only drank once, and he drank secretly in the enemy camp. Now that the alcohol bug in his stomach had been suppressed for a long time, he shouted at Yan Bing
: "Brother, I'll help you organize things!! You can go directly back to your hometown!" He quickly ran into Tongshun County.
Yan Bing shook his head helplessly, and then he shook hands with the school officers and soldiers, and everyone hurriedly bowed in return.
Yan Bing then got on the carriage and drove towards her former Marquis's Mansion, which had not yet had time to put up a new sign.
"What do you think!? Come here all!? Can your big house hold two hundred tables!??" Lingyue waited until the carriage had gone far, then complained to Yan Bing with a melancholy look on her face.
Hearing this, Yan Bing smiled, put his hand on his chest, and said angrily: "You haven't even entered the door yet? Are you in a hurry to help me with the housekeeping??"
"Bang——!"
With a loud noise, Lingyue punched the frame of the carriage. A crack followed the position of her fist and quickly spread around the carriage. The top of the carriage was then lifted into the air by an invisible force.
After spinning twice, it hit the open space in the middle of the road and shattered into pieces.
The good box carriage turned into an open carriage in the blink of an eye. Even the four military horses pulling the carriage in front neighed a few times before they slowly steadied their horses' hooves to avoid being hit by the force of the punch.
Take it down.
"I'm warning you, if you say similar frivolous words to me again, then this punch will not hit the car, but your face!!!" Li Lingyue glared at Yan Bing angrily, gritting his teeth and speaking every word.
said.
Yan Bing still smiled on his face, but the cold sweat was running down his back, and he didn't say another nonsense along the way...
When they arrived at the mansion, the first people to greet them were not the old man or Lu Liang, but Wang Li and Zhou Zeng with a few guards.
Six people stood alone at the door, and the scene was very deserted.
Lingyue looked at Yan Bing's dull eyes and smiled proudly. The meaning of that expression was very clear.
Where is your family?? Why didn’t any of you come to pick you up?? Not as good as my little brother! Haha!
Yan Bing was also so angry that he was shaking all over. He had been gone for so long and the old man didn't come out. Even the fifteenth senior brother and Zhao Cheng were nowhere to be seen. Isn't it too disrespectful to treat him as a dish?
He immediately walked into his house with a dark face, hands behind his back, and said nothing.
Wang Li, Zhou Zeng and others came forward to say hello, but their warm faces were met with cold butts. They hurried forward again, surrounded their eldest sister, and entered the house.
But the first thing Lingyue said when she saw them was...
"Go! Clean up my room. I've been gone for two months and I don't even know how dirty it is."
Wang Li and Zhou Zeng laughed bitterly.
Do you have no idea that your absence is the cleanest day in your boudoir?
