Chapter 146 Victory Celebration Banquet
"Then how can we integrate all these energies?"
Ying Chen asked in confusion.
"You can leave this matter to me!"
"However, Your Majesty still needs to give me one more thing!"
Yuan Tiangang said respectfully.
"what!"
"An imperial edict carrying the dynasty's destiny!"
"Imperial decree?"
Although Ying Chen was puzzled, he knew that Yuan Tiangang must have a use for this item, so he didn't ask any further questions and personally wrote an imperial edict for him.
And the imperial aura was left on it.
After that, Yuan Tiangang left Xianyang, and no one knows where he went.
"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian and his men have returned to outside the city!"
At this moment, Lu Bing walked in and reported to Ying Chen.
"Oh?"
Ying Chen quickly stood up and said, "Notify all civil and military officials to greet him outside the city..."
"Furthermore, let this be announced to the world that our Qin soldiers have fought for more than a month, conquering countless territories, and have now returned in triumph. The whole world rejoices!"
"Here!"
Lu Bing dared not be negligent and quickly and respectfully replied.
He then immediately went to convey Ying Chen's orders.
"Let's go, follow me out of the city to welcome the triumphant return of my Great Qin soldiers!"
Ying Chen said to Cao Zhengchun.
"Here!"
...............
Meanwhile, outside the city...
Meng Tian and his army have arrived ten miles outside Xianyang.
"General, His Majesty, along with his civil and military officials and the people of Xianyang, is outside the city to welcome the triumphant army!"
A scout flew in from afar and landed beside Meng Tian, speaking respectfully.
Meng Tian nodded and looked at Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Huo Qubing and the others beside him: "Give the order to dismount!"
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers mounted their warhorses.
"All generals, follow me to the Emperor!"
Meng Tian said again, "The rest of the army should set up camp on the spot. His Majesty will send someone to reward the troops later!"
Such a large army certainly cannot all enter Xianyang.
Therefore, Meng Tian could only take his generals, both high and low, with him, but even so, it was still a considerable number.
It had over a thousand generals.
Murong Haoxuan was among them.
This was the first time he had ever experienced such a scene, and he felt even more excited than when he first went to the battlefield.
That sense of honor was something he had never experienced on the battlefield.
At this moment, he couldn't help but straighten his chest and follow the group towards Xianyang.
Every general beside him was no less powerful than him; in fact, most of them were more powerful.
This made him even more aware of the power of the Qin Dynasty.
This also strengthened his resolve to stay in Qin.
Outside Xianyang.
"I'm coming!"
"The army is back!"
Some sharp-eyed civilians spotted the large army in the distance and shouted excitedly.
"Hahaha! According to news from the imperial court, this time our Great Qin not only destroyed the Blood Barbarian Dynasty, our millennia-old enemy, but also incidentally destroyed a demon dynasty, expanding our territory by more than three times..."
"That's truly something to celebrate!"
"That's right. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, our Great Qin has reversed its previous decline and its strength has increased dramatically every day. Not to mention anything else, the spiritual energy of Xianyang alone is comparable to that of any imperial dynasty!"
"Haha! How magnificent is my Great Qin! How magnificent is my Qin army!"
The people of Xianyang were all excited and discussing it animatedly.
Since Ying Chen ascended the throne, the Qin Dynasty has undergone tremendous changes.
These changes are most directly felt by ordinary people at the bottom of society.
Putting aside everything else, what was their Great Qin like before Ying Chen ascended the throne?
The Blood Barbarian Dynasty repeatedly invaded the borders, and the number of soldiers who died on the frontier was well over a million.
But after Ying Chen ascended the throne, the Blood Barbarian Dynasty was destroyed in no time.
This is enough to prove that Ying Chen is a wise ruler and a powerful leader who can lead the Qin Dynasty to greater heights.
"This humble general greets Your Majesty!"
At this time, Meng Tian also arrived here with the various generals of his army.
Then, they all knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.
"Hahaha! All of you generals are meritorious officials of our Great Qin, please rise!"
Ying Chen reached out and helped Meng Tian up, then addressed the others.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The generals shouted in unison again.
"I have prepared a banquet in the palace. Generals, please follow me to the palace. Today, let us drink to our hearts' content!"
Ying Chen waved his hand and then led his generals to the palace to attend the victory celebration banquet.
The surrounding people spontaneously made way for the generals to pass.
Feeling the admiring gazes of the people around them, everyone unconsciously raised their heads.
Murong Haoxuan looked at the simple, honest faces around him and at their respectful gazes.
I feel genuinely proud.
This is something he never experienced in the Murong family.
When he was in the Murong family, as the young master, everyone flattered him.
However, he could sense that those people weren't being sincere towards him.
Instead, it was his genuine affection for his identity as the young master of the Murong family.
But now it's different; he can sense that these people are all sincere.
Inside the palace, on the huge square.
Because there were so many people, the banquet was held here.
Seating is arranged according to official rank and the magnitude of merit.
Those closest to Ying Chen were the civil and military officials of the court and the various commanders of the army.
Then, palace maids carried delicious dishes and spirit wine, moving between the tables.
After everyone was seated and all the dishes were served, Ying Chen raised his glass.
"This time, our Great Qin has achieved a great victory, entirely thanks to the efforts of all of you. I salute all my generals and soldiers!"
As Ying Chen raised his glass, the generals dared not be negligent and all raised their glasses as well.
"Dry!"
"Your Majesty!"
The generals shouted in unison, their voices deafening.
He then drank the spirit wine in the cup in one gulp.
"My soldiers, eat and drink as you please. This is your home turf. Don't pay any attention to me. Just pretend I don't exist!"
Seeing that these generals were somewhat restrained and unable to act freely, Ying Chen spoke up.
As Ying Chen finished speaking, the generals relaxed a little, but they didn't dare to be too presumptuous and only touched things lightly.
For a time, the air was filled with the clinking of glasses and the rich aroma of wine.
"Your Majesty, I have already ordered people to send spirit wine and food to the army outside the city!"
Lu Bing came to Ying Chen's side and whispered.
Ying Chen nodded, then looked down at the plaza below.
At that moment, Murong Haoxuan was being forced to drink by several generals.
He curled his lips slightly and waved to Lu Bing: "Go and call Murong Haoxuan over!"
"Here!"
A short while later, Lu Bing returned with Murong Haoxuan.
At this moment, Murong Haoxuan had not yet reacted. He was being forced to drink by the generals of the Imperial Guard when Lu Bing suddenly appeared beside him and brought him here without saying a word.
However, he immediately understood after seeing Ying Chen.
"This humble general greets Your Majesty!"
Murong Haoxuan bowed to Ying Chen and said.
Ying Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Not bad, it seems your time in the army hasn't been wasted. Your demeanor is becoming more and more like a soldier's..."
Previously, Murong Haoxuan had the air of a noble young master, making it clear at a glance that he came from an extraordinary background.
However, now he seems to have gained a bit more heroic spirit and a murderous aura, making him look completely different.
