Chapter 196 Class Returning to Court
"So that's how it is."
No one suspected that Qin Mian being able to cure more than ten thousand poisoned soldiers proved his ability.
As expected, he recovered a lot of his spirit and physical strength. He revealed a grateful smile towards Qin Mian, and after thanking him, he continued to busy himself.
In the east appeared a touch of fish-belly white. The sky was about to brighten!
The battle drums of the Grand Xia Country became even louder, the dense drum beat on the battle drum, and the soldiers began attacking even more fiercely.
After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn passed, a strange horn sound suddenly sounded from the ground. The tune was also very strange, from high to low, it was so deep that one could barely hear it.
Qin Wencai, Doctor Yu and the rest were all shocked, their eyes were filled with intense surprise.
Qin Mian asked in puzzlement: "What's going on?"
"Vote... The Turow Country Army has surrendered! "
"This is great! If I'm fast enough, I can still rush back for the new year!"
"We can finally return home!"
"??"
An hour later, the precise news came back to them. The six generals led by Lei Tia had captured the three main generals of the opponent, the third prince Liu Man of Turow Country, the fierce general Li Xu Hao of Turow Country and the fierce general and strategist Yin Xiang of Turow Country. The evil idea of poisoning the soldiers of Grand Xia Country was his.
Next, the camp moved again. Five thousand soldiers were sent back to the front to help doctors to arrange the wounded and dispose of the bodies of the fallen soldiers. Qin Mian and the other military doctors were staying in the new tent to look after the wounded soldiers.
As if the heavens wanted to congratulate the Grand Xia Country people, heavy snow started to fall in the afternoon.
Lei Tia had been busy for half a month with dealing with all the military matters in the general's camp. Upon receiving the orders from the Emperor Xiao Hui, he immediately went back to the capital and escorted Chen Chuang, Liu Man Huai, Sheng Xu Hao and Yin Xiang Chen to the capital.
Lei Tia told Qin Mian that in this battle, his Turow Country had been reduced by nearly two hundred thousand soldiers. In addition, Liu Manhui and Yin Xiang's techniques were almost equivalent to the right and left hand of the Emperor of Turow Country, so the Emperor Xiao Hui would definitely use this point to make the Emperor of Turow Country pay. His Turow Country would definitely suffer a great loss, and he would not dare to instigate a war with Grand Xia Country for at least ten years.
The day before they set off, it started to snow again. The snowflakes fell down like willow catkins, adding to the romance.
As Qin Mian was packing up the luggage of the two people, he suddenly thought of something and looked towards the man sitting by the side of the table who was writing on a paper.
"Head, did you forget about something?"
"Head?" Lei Tia's movements paused, he thought, this wife of his would definitely seduce him. Remembering that he had to send out the memorial as soon as possible, he restrained himself from raising his head and said, "Catch the little pony."
Qin Mian laughed, "It's fortunate that you still remember, otherwise your son wouldn't have let you off."
After Lei Tia finished writing the report, he ordered his men to rush to the capital city. He do
ed the cape on Qin Mian and pulled him out of the tent to get someone to bring two horses over to the army.
The Golden Eagle gave a clear cry, borrowing the strong wind to flap its wings lightly, it chased after them, always circling above their heads.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the catkins had become cotton wool.
Rushing madly for more than an hour, Qin Mian and Lei Tia went deeper into the Turow Country's Great Prairie. Groups of wild horses and sheep walked in silence on the prairie, leisurely nibbling at the hay.
Lei Tia used his Spiritual Sense to search the entire grassland, carefully searching for the strongest Colt.
Qin Mian patted off the snow on his body and casually said: "If only I could find a pair of twin horses."
Lei Tia's mouth twitched, his wife really knew how to make things difficult for him.
Qin Mian laughed and patted his shoulder hard, "Hahaha ?? You must be joking! "
Lei Tia thought for a while, "There are quite a few wild horses here, it shouldn't be difficult to find two that are identical."
"Right." Qin Mian finally reacted, "The two people from the same womb might not be the same."
They galloped along for a while and saw another herd of wild horses in the distance.
The two had pretty good luck, actually finding two similar foals in that group of Mali. They weren't big, and estimated that they were only born two or three months ago. They were cute and petite. A pair of large watery eyes like round and translucent glazed stone. Even though there was dirt on their bodies, it was still possible to tell that their entire bodies were white, with a handsome appearance and steady steps.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia looked at each other in pleasant surprise.
Qin Mian shouted: "That's great!"
"Allow me." Lei Tia took out two ropes from the spatial space and flew towards the two white horses like two agile eagles.
The Golden Eagle followed him with an itchy heart.
With the help of the bird and man, Lei Tia separated the two white horses from the herd of horses. Then, he grabbed the necks of the two colts with both of his hands.
The two colts called out in a low voice and obediently laid on the ground for Lei Tia to put on the ropes for them.
Qin Mian spurred his horse forward and formed a cleansing incantation. The two horses instantly became clean and clean, their snow-white hair devoid of any other colors.
There was a very long way to go from their usual home in the capital, so Qin Mian fed each of the two little ponies a pellet used to strengthening their bodies.
The two of them led the little pony back to the camp.
Almost no one in the army camp did not know that the husband of the Great General had a pair of cute twin sons. The moment they saw the two little horses, they knew who they were meant for.
That night, everyone in the barracks gathered around the bonfire for a celebratory feast.
At daybreak on the second day, Lei Tia and a few other generals led 5,000 strong army to escort the First Prince and Chen Chuang, leaving first. The rest of the soldiers followed closely behind.
The ba
er with the word "Thunder" embroidered on it was at the front of the group, waving in the wind. Everywhere it went, the commoners would beat the gongs and drums, cheering and celebrating.
In order to return to the capital as soon as possible, Qin Mian and Lei Tia quietly added Spirit Spring Water to the soldiers' food. All of the soldiers along the way were full of energy, they did not feel tired at all.
It had been tough on Chen Chuang, Liu Manhui, Sheng Xu Hao, and Yin Xiang Chen. No one knew what medicine Qin Mian had drugged, but they were powerless and had to roll around in the carriage. They had vomited a few times every day, and after leaving for less than four days, they had lost at least ten kilograms. It wasn't that no one had tried to save them along the way, but they hated the fact that Lei Tia and Qin Mian's martial arts were too powerful.
On the 20th of December, the army finally entered the capital. In the early morning, the Emperor Xiao Hui had already brought the empress, the Second Prince, the princess, and other civil and military officials to the city wall to wait.
The Eastern Sun Academy had already given in to the winter holidays on the fifteenth day of the twelfth month, so Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin naturally would not miss this important day. This was because the two little fellows were rather favored by the Emperor Xiao Hui and even occupied the most eye-catching spot. The two brothers wore identical red cotton robes and winter hats. They wore gloves around their necks like two little golden boys. Emperor Xiao Hui hugged one each.
A little white and blond hair were there, sprawled on the fence like a man.
It was almost noon when a group of armored soldiers appeared at the end of the public road.
Eunuch Lee said excitedly: "Your majesty, they're here!"
"Daddy and daddy are finally back!" Lei Ruilin jumped up and waved his hand towards the distance.
The Emperor Xiao Hui laughed, "Little guy, don't be so excited. There's still so far to go, your two fathers can't see anything."
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin looked at each other and smiled: My father and father will definitely be able to see it.
"Brother, I wonder if father will forget to catch a pony for us." Lei Ruilin supported his chin, his hand squeezing the flesh of his face together.
Qin Ruiqi replied: "No."
"What pony?"
Qin Ruiqi said with a face full of pride, "I caught it from the Western barbarians."
Lei Ruilin explained, "Daddy said that after daddy returns, he will take our entire family to hunt. Big Brother and I told Daddy that we need two small horses. Father told us to write to Father and have him capture us from the Western Barbarian Kingdom. "
The Second Prince nodded his head slightly, and said: "The environment of the Western Barbarians is comparatively worse than our Grand Xia Country. That's why, their horses are indeed generally stronger than ours."
The Emperor Xiao Hui was deep in thought, he patted Qin Ruiqi's and Lei Ruilin's shoulders, "Hunting? Good idea. Ruiqi, Ruilin, next time, the Emperor will invite you to the Royal Hunting Grounds. "
While they were talking, Lei Tia's group got closer and closer. Qin Mian and Lei Tia rode together at the front of the troop.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin waved their hands in joy.
Seeing the two kids wave, Qin Mian laughed and waved back.
Lei Tia was still expressionless, but his gaze stayed on Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin's faces for a moment.
"Father won't even wave." Lei Ruilin said regretfully.
The Emperor Xiao Hui, Empress, Second Prince and all the officials couldn't help but laugh as they imagined Lei Tia waving his hands around.
Soon, the troop reached the city gate. Hearing the gongs, drums, and the firecrackers, the soldiers all revealed proud smiles on their faces.
Lei Tia led the group of people down from their horses, and facing the city wall, they knelt down on one knee.
"This subject pays his respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Everyone on the city wall also knelt down, and they all said, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Everyone, please rise!" Emperor Xiao Hui's candid laughter was filled with pride, "Great General, good job, you have lived up to the trust we have in you!"
Lei Tia said: "On the Emperor's blessings, this subject has fortunately not failed your mission."
Emperor Xiao Hui led the group down the city wall.
Once the Emperor Xiao Hui was on the imperial chariot, Lei Tia led his subordinates and followed. The rest of the officials were at the back, and they advanced amidst the cheers of the people.
Qin Mian, Lei Tia, Qin Wencai and a few other generals entered the palace immediately and came to the imperial study to report to the emperor.
Emperor Xiao Hui asked about the battle between Qin Mian and the Turow Country in a simple ma
er. He also asked Qin Mian how he cured the poison in his body, told everyone to kneel down, and told them to rest well after that.
When everyone was leaving, Qin Wencai was left alone in Emperor Xiao Hui.
The Emperor Xiao Hui looked down at Qin Wencai condescendingly and asked directly: "Sir Qin, Madam National Duke is your son?"
Qin Wencai was startled, he knelt down quickly and answered honestly, "Yes, Your Majesty. The National Duke's wife was the direct son of the humble subject and had accidentally disappeared ten years ago. Back then, when I first saw the appearance of the National Duke's wife in the royal study, I became suspicious of his background. This humble subject does not dare to hide it from the emperor. Half of my reason for rushing to the Western Pass is to confirm this point. May I ask how did the emperor know of this matter? "
Emperor Xiao Hui's tone was deep and meaningful, "My dear sir, other than Madam National Duke, you have another good son."
Qin Wencai was doubtful, but he suddenly felt uneasy, "Please forgive this humble subject's stupidity."
Emperor Xiao Hui indicated for the Eunuch Lee to pass the information he found to Qin Wencai. Qin Mian was sent by the Emperor Xiao Hui to the west gate to save people. This matter was extremely important, but there was actually someone who dared to assassinate him halfway through. Emperor Xiao Hui naturally wanted to get to the bottom of this matter, he did not expect to find out about Qin Wencai's eldest son, Qin Ji. Emperor Xiao Hui had previously investigated Qin Mian's identity, but the people below only investigated him until he was fourteen years old. After interrogating Qin Guan, the Emperor Xiao Hui found out that Qin Mian was actually Qin Wencai's son.
