I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 269: After being granted a title and receiving a reward, Su Junhou was ordered to pick up girls and meet his love rival (5K chapters together)

He Jin was shocked when he heard Yuan Shu's words. He knew that what Yuan Shu said was true, and Su Yao's rise did pose a threat to their status.

He looked back at the center of the hall. Compared with the rosy-faced and somewhat excited emperor who was sitting high above the banquet chair, He Jin's face was frighteningly gloomy.

He was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said:

"Okay, I will consider this matter carefully."

"But I'm out of town now, so I can't discuss it much. When I get back to Beijing, I'll discuss it after asking my wife and daughter-in-law."

He Jin's words made Yuan Shu want to stamp his feet:

"General, we can't delay this matter. One day later, there will be more variables. What's more, with such a big matter, how can we ask Madam about her feelings?"

However, He Jin was determined and Yuan Shu had no choice but to do nothing.

The night falls outside the room, and the stars are dotted.

This person's achievements and abilities are all seen in the eyes of everyone, and they have no choice but to accept him.

Outside the city, Su Yao, who was covered in blood, led a group of Chiyun knights, Bingzhou, Huben and Beijun cavalry who were also blood-stained in their robes.

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly reported:

The emperor smiled even more after hearing Su Yao's words, his eyes full of appreciation and praise.

The emperor nodded, took a deep breath, and stated:
"The Marquis of Guannei is also a leader of troops. He knows that strict rewards and punishments are the way to march."

Scenes of getting along with Su Yao flashed before his eyes, whether it was his handsome face and majestic appearance in the court, or his indomitable spirit on the battlefield.

If such a person cannot be used by me, he will definitely become a serious problem!

The eunuch's words instantly silenced the noisy banquet.

Seeing the emperor coming out of the city to greet him in person, Su Yao immediately dismounted from his horse, jumped in front of the emperor, bowed and saluted:
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission. The entire Wuhuan army has fled, and more than 6,000 people have been captured. The mission has been successfully completed!"

This He Jin was so indecisive and difficult to deal with big things that he couldn't even let go of a mere girl. He had to think of some other way.

"Quickly declare, no, follow me out to greet you!"

Even a person like Yuan Shu, who has always been conceited, has to admit that this person is truly a dragon among men.

He immediately ordered all officials to go out of the city with him to welcome this meritorious escort hero.

Every charge the Guannei Marquis made on the battlefield and every victory he made were encouragement and motivation for them.

"The Marquis of Guannei returns in triumph, the Marquis of Guannei returns in triumph!"

So, at this time, they looked at Su Yao with very complicated eyes.

These soldiers looked at Su Yao, their eyes shining with admiration and adoration.

The officials were like this, but the soldiers behind Su Yao were much simpler.

Their eyes were all set on the emperor, and they knew that the real protagonist was coming.

For many of them, Su Yao is not only a heroic general, but also their role model and spiritual support.

The emperor was very excited when he heard the news of Su Yao's return.

At this time, the emperor of Jiuhou also stood up suddenly, coughed lightly and said:

This time you have made another great military exploit, struck in time, saved the country from collapse, and rescued the country from danger. If I don't give you a generous reward, won't it make the heroes of the world feel cold and the people laugh at your generosity? "

After the emperor was stunned, he immediately helped Su Yao up, his eyes full of admiration:

Under the moonlight, their blood-stained armor shone with a strange cold light, showing great power and murderous intent.

Their hearts were filled with excitement and pride.

Su Yao smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It is my duty to protect His Majesty."

"I don't need rewards. I just ask your Majesty to give me more opportunities to fight!"

All the officials knew that this time they would be rewarded generously.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the entire audience fell into silence.

The lights in the county governor's mansion were brightly lit, and the celebration banquet was reaching its climax. The guests were drinking and laughing.

Su Yao is back, and their team has arrived at the gate of Pingyuan City.

Let them also enjoy the great honor of being welcomed by His Majesty and hundreds of officials!
At this moment, they are proud to follow such a general, and at the same time they are full of expectations for the future.

They knew very well that it was Guannei Hou's unparalleled bravery that led them to victory again and again.

"I have engraved my love on you for your past meritorious deeds.

Under the night, the gate of Pingyuan City slowly opened. The emperor took the lead, followed by a group of important court officials. Their clothes shone in the moonlight, like a long dragon winding out.

"Su Aiqing, you have made great achievements again this time, how should I reward you?"

Zhang Rang, He Jin, Yuan Shu and others had cold eyes.

Su Yao, who had not returned yet, brought him unprecedented pressure.

However, in this happy atmosphere, Yuan Shu felt an inexplicable depression.

There are all kinds of envy, jealousy, helplessness, and resentment, but there is no dissatisfaction.

They believe that under the leadership of Su Yao, they will be able to achieve greater victory and win glory and achievements!
Therefore, when the emperor announced the reward for Su Yao, the soldiers cheered and were sincerely happy for their general.

They knew that this was an honor that Su Yao deserved, and it was also an affirmation and encouragement to all their soldiers.

Therefore, compared with the complicated gazes of the officials, they all looked at the emperor with burning eyes and waited excitedly.

The emperor glanced around the crowd, and finally fixed his gaze on Su Yao, and said seriously:
"Su Aiqing, I know what you want, but this time, you can't refuse again, do you understand?"

In response, Su Yao smiled hoarsely, took a step forward, bowed and said:
"In obedience to the will of the Holy Spirit."

The emperor's face flushed, he nodded with satisfaction, and then solemnly announced:
"Su Yao, the Marquis of Guannei, has great military exploits and meritorious service in escorting you. I have decided to grant you the title of Duting Marquis, with a settlement of 1,600 households, to show my favor."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was filled with cheers and congratulations.

The soldiers were so excited that they brandished their swords and guns, feeling proud of their general.

Compared with the simple soldiers, the officials had different reactions when they heard the emperor's reward.

Some looked envious, while others sighed inwardly, feeling ashamed of themselves.

Some people who had a relatively good relationship with Su Yao recently, such as Lu Zhi, Zhong Yao and others, came forward to offer congratulations, with smiles on their faces.

However, more people have mixed feelings.

Zhang Rang, He Jin, Yuan Shu and other important officials of the imperial court, although they clapped and congratulated everyone on the surface, they had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Zhang Rang secretly hated Su Yao's rise. Every time this man climbed up on his nose, he posed a threat to his power and let everyone see his weakness.

He Jin lamented Su Yao's talent and luck. At the same time, he felt a little embarrassed about his previous hesitation and worries, and decided to carefully consider Yuan Shu's marriage proposal after returning to Beijing.

Yuan Shu, on the other hand, felt even more heavy. He knew that Su Yao's reward meant that his position in the court was more stable, and the gap between him and himself became more and more obvious.

None of them expected that the emperor actually jumped over Tinghou and directly sealed a two-thousand-stone Dutinghou out!
This title is not only an honorary title, but also represents extremely high status and power.

Dutinghou is the highest rank of twenty-level nobles in the Han Dynasty. His status is second only to the prince and above other officials.

This title not only enjoys a high prestige, but also has substantial privileges and treatment.

According to the size of the food town and the wealth of the region, there are Tinghou below the Dutinghou, and above them are the Xianghou and Duxianghou, and the highest is the County Marquis who split the soil and enfeoffed the country.

For example, Dutinghou already had his own fiefdom and food, and he collected taxes from the fiefdom as his own income. At the same time, he could also exercise certain administrative and judicial powers within his fiefdom.

More importantly, the title of Marquis Duting is hereditary!

This means that Su Yao's descendants can inherit this title and fiefdom, forming a noble family that will be passed down from generation to generation, which can be said to be a noble family and a prince.

Such status and power undoubtedly made the officials more respectful and envious of Su Yao.

Yes, no one is dissatisfied, no matter what.

This is the most valuable guarantee.

Without Su Yao's great display of power, it would be a question whether they and the emperor could return to Pingyuan City safely.

If you don't reward me this time, it won't be justified at all.

I’m just asking if you still want someone to escort you as King Qin?
Moreover, after Su Yao received the reward, he did not forget to show his merits to his soldiers, especially Liu, Guan, and Zhang who killed the generals in battle. However, Liu Hong did not make any extraordinary rewards for other people.

This is partly because we are still on the Northern Patrol Road.

The matter is not yet settled, and the specific official transfers of the officers and soldiers will have to wait until they return to Beijing to be worked out by the Chancellor.

Therefore, in addition to the unified rewards, Liu Hong also gave some money, cloth, and famous nobles for their merits to the soldiers who had served as guardians.

Except for Liu Bei's clan status, which gave Liu Hong a few words of encouragement, the others were basically the same as the rewards given by the Northern Army soldiers.

However, even so, Liu Bei, who knelt down to thank him, was also trembling slightly with excitement.

He never expected that the three of his brothers would be able to establish military exploits as soon as they arrived, and they would even be introduced to the emperor by Su Junhou!
How glorious this is!

Thinking of his three brothers, they participated in more than thirty battles in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and made many military exploits, but they were ostracized because of their white bodies.

But now, this young monarch, unexpectedly, really didn't care about their identities at all. He did what he said, gave these newcomers a chance to perform, and even introduced the Holy Emperor, which is really admirable!

Next, just after Liu, Guan, and Zhang thanked each other and left, Liu Hong suddenly staggered. He pulled Su Yao's shoulders and whispered in his ear seemingly intimately:
"This time of war and war, I miss you very much. After the banquet, you can go to the back garden to tell her that you are safe."

"what?"

The emperor said Princess Wannian is waiting for me in the backyard?

Hearing such a statement, Su Yao's eyes suddenly lit up.

what's the situation?
Didn't you expect that such an incident would happen before the wedding?
So, are we here to pick up girls?

Su Yao took a deep breath and tried to calm down his excitement.

He bowed again and bowed to the emperor to express his gratitude.

After hearing Su Yao's statement, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, a smile on his tired face.

He waved his hand to signal Su Yao to stand up, then turned to the officials present and said loudly:
"Today I confer Su Yao as the Marquis of Duting. I hope that everyone can take this as an example and contribute to the prosperity and stability of the Han Dynasty."

All the officials bowed in response, expressing their loyalty to the emperor and congratulating Su Yao.

However, among the crowd, He Jin and Yuan Shu's expressions looked a little gloomy.

They originally thought they could take this opportunity to suppress Su Yao's rise, but they didn't expect that it would make him even more famous.

The celebration banquet continued, but He Jin and Yuan Shu no longer had the previous interest.

They sat together, chatting in low voices, and seemed to be discussing some plan.

With the help of the palace maid, Su Yao, who had returned from washing and changing clothes, naturally became the center of attention.

Many people toasted and congratulated him, but Su Yao showed a clear lack of interest.

This was not because of the Emperor's absence.

He was entirely concerned about the next mission given to him by the emperor, and naturally had no interest in the false flattery of these idiots.

Princess of Ten Thousand Years.

To be honest, Su Yao has only seen this little princess twice.

One time was when I went to the Emperor's Western Garden on the first day after returning to Beijing, and the other time was the night when I proposed in public.

Princess Wannian seemed to be only one year older than Hong'er. Although she was also a beautiful woman, her innocent, dignified and elegant temperament impressed him more deeply.

Although she was in a deep palace, she didn't seem to be too affected by this big dye vat, and her good education made her behave with an innate elegance and nobility.

This creates a subtle contrast that belies his age.

However, just that was not enough to make him emotional.

Although Su Yao's interest in women has increased a lot after he tasted the joy of sex.

But, if that's all, those hot beauties at home can obviously give him more happiness than these petite lolita.

The biggest reason why Su Yao wants a princess is a strong desire for protection and a sense of mission.

Thinking that this delicate little princess would be defiled and ruined by the beast Dong Zhuo in the future, and died, Su Yao decided to intervene at all costs to prevent this future.

While changing the tragic fate of the princess, you can also satisfy your desire for collecting and unlock more achievements and CGs.

But the emperor never gave a clear answer to his proposal.

Now, he was suddenly asked to see the princess. It was obvious that the incident had entered the next stage, which made him feel a little excited.

Is this an official date?
As expected of a majestic princess, the difficulty of obtaining it is obviously not at the same level as others.

Unknowingly, Su Yao had left the lobby and was led by the eunuch to the quiet backyard of the palace.

As the emperor came to stay here, all the idle people in Pingyuan Palace had been cleared away.

In the night, the only sound in the backyard was the rustle of the leaves in the breeze and the occasional chirping of insects, making it look particularly peaceful.

The moonlight fell on the ground like mercury, adding a soft halo to the quiet night.

The eunuch led the way, passed through a winding corridor, and finally came to a quiet courtyard.

Su Yao saw from a distance that Princess Wannian was standing in a small pavilion under a lush tree.

Her petite figure looked particularly soft and graceful in the moonlight, like a moving picture.

"Ok?"

Everything is great, but
The only question is, why is there a tall man in bright armor standing next to the little princess?
The two of them seemed to be talking and laughing in the pavilion?

And this man seems a bit familiar?

Where have you seen it?
"Su Junhou, the servants have been sent here. If you need anything later, you can ring the bell in the pavilion and someone will come to take your orders."

The eunuch's shrill voice interrupted Su Yao's contemplation.

Su Yao nodded slightly and signaled the eunuch to step back. Then he jumped up and jumped into the pavilion amidst the princess's exclamations.

The soldier was startled by this sudden intrusion. He quickly drew out his sword and stood in front of the princess. After seeing the person clearly, his brows twitched. He took a deep breath, straightened his expression, and held his sword in his fists. road:

"My subordinates have met Su Junhou."

"Subordinate?"

This time Su Yao raised an eyebrow:

"Who are you?"

"."

The soldier looked complicated, took a deep breath, and explained:

"Your Majesty is really a noble man who forgets things. Dong Yong, the son of the Hussar General, is now serving as Doctor Huben under your command, and is responsible for protecting the safety of the harem."

Su Yao glanced at Dong Yong, then at the little princess behind him, and remembered that he seemed to have such a famous person under his command.

Now that he has become the general of Huben Zhonglang, Su Yao has also discovered that he has a lot of noble disciples like He Miao or Dong Zhong before, who hold idle positions and do not go to the battlefield.

He had just taken over the Huben Army and had no time and no interest in sorting out those messy relationships, so he maintained the same attitude towards these people.

So Su Yao said:
"It turned out to be Dong Zhonglang. He protected the safety of the harem and was disrespectful and disrespectful."

Su Yao said haha:
"Now that I'm here, you can go down and continue your duties."

Dong Yong had no intention of getting out of the way. He still stood in front of the princess and said expressionlessly:

"Your Majesty, although you are a powerful general, foreign ministers should not enter the harem without permission."

"Not to mention having a secret meeting with the princess after dark."

Dong Yong glanced at the reddish princess under the moonlight, then turned back to Su Yao and said coldly without giving in:
"No one in the court knows the prince's feelings for the princess, but your current behavior has violated the palace rules. If someone discovers it, it may be detrimental to the prince."

Su Yao frowned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway, and that a mere lieutenant could be so difficult to deal with.

Of course, Su Yao now has no idea what kind of resentment is hidden behind Dong Yong's expressionless face.

In addition to his identity as the son of General Hussar, he was also the grandnephew of Empress Dowager Dong, the cousin of this ten thousand year old princess.

He must admit that he has had a special feeling for this princess cousin who is five years younger than him since he was a child. This is his future wife.

This is not his wishful thinking, but something Empress Dowager Dong told him when he was a child.

How could you let this happen? !
