Chapter 120: Supreme General’s Return
Seeing that his younger sister had walked away, Chi Xiyou also moved two large tables and said to Duan Yixin, "Xin Xin, go inside and have a rest. I will send you back after I return the tables and chairs."
After saying that, Chi Xiyou walked away, leaving the speechless Duan Yixin. Seeing the brother and sister talking and laughing while carrying the heavy tables, Duan Yixin couldn’t help but look at her thin hands and mutter, "I think it’s time for me to get some exercise."
After deciding to exercise when she has free time, Duan Yixin goes to the living room to accompany Madam Chi and wait for Chi Xiyou to come back.
At the same time, news of the arrival of the supreme general of the Xia Empire spread like wildfire in the imperial capital city. Since early in the morning, the commoners were already waiting on the street to welcome one of their war heroes.
In Junxi Xianhe Hall, Emperor Yong’an listened to the report of the supreme general’s arrival. He waved his hand and said in a happy mood, "Reward him."
Qiu Yuanbo, who stood on the side, smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After speaking, he straightened up his waist and took a few steps forward. Standing in front of the ministers and generals, he calmly announced, "Reward the messenger with one thousand taels of silver."
When his sharp voice echoed in the spacious Junxi Xianhe Hall, the ministers and generals were surprised by Emperor Yong’an’s generosity. After just conveying a message, the messenger was rewarded with one thousand taels of silver, which was the prime minister’s monthly salary.
While the ministers’ expressions were very bad, the generals didn’t show any reaction. After accepting the reward, the messenger thanked the emperor and left with a bright smile on his face.
