Chapter 377 My Sick Husband Who Can’t Take Care of Himself (30)
See these soldiers in front of you.
The emperor raised his hand.
"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers. I have seen everything you have done for Xuanwu. Return triumphantly. Your family, friends and relatives are all proud of you. You are the heroes of my Xuanwu country, welcome home."
"I will reward all the soldiers who can return, and I will also have the families of those who sacrificed their lives for the country settled."
"Long live my emperor, long live long live..."
Said a few words.
After calming people's hearts.
The emperor then stepped forward and personally helped the two men up.
"My two beloved ministers, please stand up quickly."
Xiao Lishan: "I thank the emperor."
Jiang Xianyun: "I thank the emperor."
Jiang Xianyun and Xiao Lishan saluted the emperor together before standing up.
Xiao Lishan was already an old general, and the emperor was very familiar with him. But it was the first time he saw Jiang Xianyun, and he couldn't help but take a look at him.
Although I already knew that Jiang Xianyun was not very old, I still couldn't believe it when I saw it with my own eyes.
This is a very young girl.
But it was this girl who was brave and good at fighting. She not only repelled the enemy, but also defeated the Suzaku Kingdom. The former Suzaku Kingdom has now become the territory of the Xuanwu Kingdom.
At this moment, if anyone told him that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, and that women are inferior to men and can only stay at home to take care of children, embroider, and get married, he would definitely slap the person in the face.
A natural talent.
"Are you Jiang Xianyun?"
Jiang Xianyun nodded lightly.
"Yes."
When the emperor looked at her, she also secretly looked at the emperor. The man in front of the emperor was indeed full of imperial majesty.
The emperor smiled with satisfaction.
"Well, Lord Jiang, you are young and talented. I am very pleased. Thank you for your hard work along the way."
Jiang Xianyun: "Your Majesty, I am unfortunate, but I am guilty. I was not wearing armor when I first met Your Majesty, so I am guilty."
The emperor also noticed that she was not wearing armor.
Before Jiang Xianyun could say anything, General Xiao on the side had already reported. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The General of the Cavalry was injured in the battle before. The weather is hot, and the doctor said that it is not advisable to wear armor to avoid the wound festering."
Jiang Xianyun: "..."
She was just too hot to wear anything.
As for the injuries on the battlefield, it was also to make sure she didn't look different from the other soldiers. After all, swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield, and it would be unreasonable if she didn't get hurt at all. So sometimes she would deliberately let the enemy cut her a few times and get slightly injured.
Of course, the injury was just fake, created by the system. In fact, with her martial arts skills, the enemy could not hurt her at all.
After all, no general will be hurt.
Even the emperor might be afraid.
So it is necessary to pretend to be injured.
The emperor didn't blame anyone after hearing this.
"My dear, you are injured, why are you still wearing armor? It's okay. I will ask the imperial physician to treat you well later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Look at her age.
The emperor couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"How old are you, my dear?"
When the emperor asked this question, she felt a gaze falling on her hand. She raised her eyes and glanced at Pei Jingheng who was standing not far behind the emperor.
I chuckled in my heart.
"Your Majesty, I am nineteen years old this year."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the look of surprise and embarrassment in Pei Jingheng's eyes.
The emperor was deeply moved.
"Only, nineteen."
That means she was only sixteen years old when she joined the army.
"I heard that your father was a hunter."
"Yes, my father is a hunter in Xihe Village."
The emperor nodded.
"Well, your father raised a good daughter who is as capable as any man. I should thank him."
"Come here, announce the decree."
"It's the Emperor."
The eunuch standing nearby walked forward respectfully holding an imperial edict.
"General Jiang Xianyun of the Cavalry Department has received the order."
Here it comes again. Jiang Xianyun waved his hand, knelt on one knee and bowed his head.
"The minister accepts the order."
The eunuch Gao beside the emperor opened the imperial edict and began to read it.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: General Jiang Xianyun has been in the army since then, and has developed and improved various sophisticated weapons to strengthen the army. He is a brave and skilled fighter with unparalleled wisdom and strategy, and he led the troops to godliness. He not only repelled the invading enemy army, but also conquered the thirty-two states of Suzaku Kingdom and made them the territory of Xuanwu Kingdom, making an unprecedented contribution to Xuanwu Kingdom. Today, I specially confer him the title of Marquis of Zhenbei, grant him a mansion, a reward of one thousand taels of gold, and one thousand hectares of fertile land. His mother was posthumously conferred the title of Third-Rank Lady, and his father..."
The imperial edict was too long for Jiang Xianyun to remember, but she did remember clearly the one thousand taels of gold and one thousand acres of fertile land. Now she could be considered to have brought honor to her family.
This damn weather is too hot.
Get it done quickly.
Find a place to lie dead.
It would be better with some ice cubes.
"Hereby..."
Finally, the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict.
Jiang Xianyun immediately extended his hand respectfully to receive the order.
"Thank you for your grace, my emperor. Long live your majesty..."
After that, the emperor said a few more words. However, considering that Jiang Xianyun was injured, he did not continue to talk.
After giving a few instructions, he let Jiang Xianyun go back and rest, and planned to host a welcoming banquet for them another day.
If Jiang Xianyun were a man, the emperor might have rewarded her with a few beauties, but since she was a woman, this part was simply omitted.
The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was newly built.
The plaque hasn't been hung yet.
There were more than a dozen servants in the Marquis's mansion and the kitchen maid, all of whom were newly hired.
The eunuch who brought her here directly handed the servants' indentures to her. "My Lord, these servants were bought back from the Ministry of Rites. If you are not used to them, you can sell them and buy new servants."
Jiang Xianyun nodded slightly.
"Thank you for your help, father-in-law."
"Okay, then we won't disturb your rest, sir."
"it is good……"
When the eunuch left, he took a purse in his hand and secretly opened it to take a look. Not only was there silver, but there were also a few gold leaves. The eunuch was immediately delighted.
The Marquis of Zhenbei was really generous. He gave a lot of reward money and even gold leaves.
It seems that I need to maintain a good relationship with each other in the future.
Sweating all over.
Jiang Xianyun returned to the room.
Took a comfortable bath.
Changed clothes.
Then the servants led two imperial doctors in. One of them was the female doctor of the queen because she was a woman.
"Your humble servant pays respect to the Marquis..."
"We are here to see the Marquis on the orders of the Emperor and the Empress."
She just wanted to lie down and enjoy the air conditioning.
Why is it so difficult?
Nod slightly.
"That would be troublesome."
The one who treated her injury was the female doctor who served the queen.
Jiang Xianyun sat behind the screen and took off his clothes.
At this time, there was a long cut from her shoulder to her back, which was still bleeding. Some other wounds on her body had healed, but the marks were still clearly visible.
Seeing those knife and arrow wounds, the female doctor's hands trembled.
It’s hard to imagine that this is a girl’s body.
Which girl doesn't love beauty?
She also has a daughter.
"Thank you for your hard work, General."
Hear this.
Jiang Xianyun smiled inwardly.
These injuries were caused by her at the system's request, and they will gradually fade away.
She said seriously, "It is my duty to protect my country. It is not hard."
The female medical officer felt even worse. She personally administered the medicine to her, gave her some instructions, and wrote out a prescription.
After that, he went to the palace to report the situation.
When the emperor and the empress heard the female doctor's truthful report, they looked at each other and felt deeply moved.
Putting aside Jiang Xianyun's identity, she is just a nineteen-year-old girl now.
