Chapter 1564 Victory Celebration (2)

Chapter 1564 Victory Celebration (2)

"It's starting."

The victory celebration started like the others where they would greet the Emperor and so on. Nan Hua didn't pay much attention to this nonsense and instead looked at the side.

There were several officials who used to be part of Zhang Xu Kingdom and had switched their allegiance at the side. They were here to watch the ceremony either willingly or unwillingly.

From the time Zhang Xu Kingdom lost to Fei Yang Kingdom, they no longer had any kingdom to return. Even if they were unwilling, they could only put down their resentment in their heart and strive to serve Fei Yang Kingdom on the surface. 

Nan Hua looked away.

Lastly, it was time for the remarkable actions of the generals and commanders. This time, the minister announced that there were a lot of people who would be mentioned.

The soldiers and officials all showed the look that they knew.

In this long battle of attrition, there were many figures who stood out and had played a big role. There was no way that they would only be given the honorary noble title and some money. 

"First, General Xing and General Jun performed spectacularly in preventing the loss of so many soldiers. At the north, General Xing and General Jun worked together with General Yu to stop Strategist Mang from obtaining the poison and eliminated a lot of soldiers, paving the foundation for General Yu's domination on the north.

Afterwards, General Xing and General Jun killed several generals in succession starting from General Shang, General Huan, and General Shang. There were also many other powerful commanders who fall into their hands during the battle, proving the dominance that's hard to be compared.

For this achievement, General Xing will be given a raise in his military rank, nobility title, and also…."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes when she heard that Long Qian Xing was given a raise in military rank. He was already a general and there was no way Emperor Yang Zhou would raise Long Qian Xing to be Great General with his father was still in full dominance.

Two great generals from the same family?

That was highly impossible.

That move would be the same as giving a lot of power on the silver plate to Long Qian Xing. Considering the suspicious nature of the Emperor and the needs of balance of power, it was impossible.

Since that was the case, this raise in military rank would only refer to the raise of the number of soldiers under Long Qian Xing. He would be allowed to wield more soldiers under him, no longer a small general who only have a few thousands more soldiers than those 5000 men commanders.

Though, Nan Hua knew that even before this, there were already a large number of soldiers under Long Qian Xing. 

The rest of the reward was about the land and also some monetary. But at this time, the crowd was already cheering loudly. It was not an exaggeration to say that Long Qian Xing was currently the most talented among the younger generation.

Even the previously praised General Shangguan, Shangguan Xian, seemed to be left far behind.

Though, General Shangguan was still doing quite well at the border with Shi Long Kingdom. He did good in preventing those people from breaching the defense and infiltrated into Fei Yang Kingdom.

But this was not mentioned here.

"For this achievement, General Jun will be the formal general in Fei Yang Kingdom and could receive the same treatment. In addition, she will be given a raise in the nobility rank and…"

Nobility rank?

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

It seemed that this was already… the third time she was given nobility rank? Even though the identity given the nobility rank was different, it was still relatively high for women.

Most women could only rely on their father's rank because they couldn't do anything but to stay at home. When they reached marriageable age, they would be married off to someone of with family of similar rank that was suitable for them.

For concubine daughters, the family rank would be lower but it could still reach higher than when the family's rank was lower.

Now, as a woman, Nan Hua's nobility rank that she wielded personally was already really high.

Among the commanders, Wei Mu Ya was standing near the back. She was still a 1000 men commander and would only be raised after this. The arrangement for this victory celebration was based on their previous rank.

Thus, she was still very far away from the front.

Listening to the minister reading out that General Jun got nobility rank, Wei Mu Ya had to admit that she was envious. She had worked hard for so many years, but she was not comparable to a woman who only made her name for a short period of time.

But she had watched Jun Hua's battle.

And after watching those battles, she had to admit that she was convinced. What Jun Hua could do, she couldn't do. And what she could do, Jun Hua could do effortlessly.

'I'll work hard.'

Silently, Wei Mu Ya promised herself.

She's approaching 20 years old and thankfully, this time, her father finally agreed to raise her rank. Since this was the rank she had obtained after working hard for so many years, she will not waste the chance given to her and will work as hard as possible to achieve good result.

That way, she will prove to her father that his decision to let her come here was not wrong. 

While Wei Mu Ya was setting Jun Hua as her goal, Nan Luo was watching Nan Hua got the rank and clutched his right chest. He felt that having such a talented twin sister was giving him such a huge burden. 

"A general…"

He and Nan Hua were of the same age, but their rank was very different.

It was estimated that he needed at least a few more years if he wished to catch up with her.
