Chapter 515 - 270 Entering the Capital_2
Upon saying this, both she and the creature felt a bit more at ease.
The weather on the journey was exceptionally good, not a day of heavy rain or strong winds encountered. Before sunset on the eighth day, the ship reached the Green Spring River, and five days later, entered the Capital City Canal. Thirteen days had passed, and on the twenty-seventh day by noon, the ship smoothly arrived at Nan County on the southern edge of the Capital City.
Due to the volume of ships, they had to queue to enter the port. And because of the multitude of nobility in the Capital City, they waited two hours before docking. Old man Qian did not understand, and asked Qian Manjiang, "We are imperial relatives, and both you and father are high officials and Master Marquises; why should we let those ships behind us jump the queue?"
Qian Manjiang smiled and said, "Those few large ships cutting in line belong to the Commandery Prince, Master Marquis, and officials from the various ministries. These families all have connections with the Royal Family; our Qian family can’t afford to provoke them. Remember, there are many nobles in the Capital City, and the imperial relatives are especially numerous. Even Third-Rank Officials can be found everywhere, so be very cautious in what you say and do."
Upon hearing this, Old man Qian quickly responded, "I understand, I understand."
Apart from Cheng Yue and her two young children, everyone else excitedly came up to the deck. They saw not only Qian Hua and Qian Xiaofeng coming to greet them, but also Qian Xiaolei, who served Zhu Sujin, and Shopkeeper Cui, who had already returned to the Capital City, and surprisingly, an old acquaintance they had not seen for years—Uncle Liang.
Uncle Liang was still dressed in a Martial Official’s uniform of the Third Rank, evidently having come straight from the camp. Beside him stood another familiar face—Liang Gao.
Liang Jinzhao could indeed be said to have become famous from a single battle; he is now a renowned young commander throughout the Great Qian Kingdom. His personally founded Pili Camp, victorious through extraordinary tactics, became the primary force in defeating Dayuan Country. After returning to the court, the initially undervalued Pili Camp was formally incorporated by the Imperial Court, and artillery such as cannons and fire muskets officially became the main weapons of Daqian in battle. These firearms were used not only in land warfare but also in naval battles. He was appointed as Ji Chang, in charge of Pili Camp, becoming the youngest Third-Rank Martial Official in the entire Great Qian Kingdom.
