Chapter 138 When the imperial edict arrives, everyone is stunned!
"Xiao Luofeng, what are you doing? This is not your character!"
Seeing Xiao Luofeng's sudden compromise, Du Laihua felt a little uncomfortable.
"I, Xiao Luofeng, am not worthy of my brothers fighting for me."
Xiao Luofeng looked back at Xu An and said, "The young Marquis is right. Qingdong City was originally very good, but look at what the Central Government Office is like now."
"Troublesome!"
"As the guard of Qingdong City, I, Xiao Luofeng, cannot escape the blame and am deeply ashamed."
Xiao Luofeng raised his head, stared into Du Laihua's eyes, and said: "Master Du Hou, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to resign myself, or... do you want my life?"
Du Laihua also stared into Xiao Luofeng's eyes and said nothing for a long time.
The two of them remained silent, digesting the thick malice as their eyes met.
After a long time, Du Laihua said: "Isn't your dream to be a general? Are you willing to resign?"
Xiao Luofeng said softly: "I'm tired."
"really?"
"The lives of brothers are important, and the stability of Qingdong City is even more important. As long as the Marquis gives up, I, Xiao Luofeng, will say the same."
Xiao Tian quickly stepped forward and said: "I will also vouch for my son! From now on, let Luo Feng go about his business and he will not be in your way in Qingdong City!"
As he spoke, Xiao Tian held Xiao Luofeng's hand tightly and said: "Don't worry, son, even if you are not a business material, dad will support you for the rest of your life!"
Xiao Luofeng also held Xiao Tian's hand and nodded.
Du Laihua's eyes lit up.
"Lieutenant Xiao, no!" Yue Jiti shouted: "You are a general! Huang Taishou once said that as long as you persist, you will have a bright future!"
Xiao Tiandao: "My son doesn't want to be a soldier anymore, so don't persuade me!"
Du Laihua opened his arms and said: "Everyone has heard it. It's not me who forced Xiao Luofeng, it's him who is tired and wants to go home and become a young master!"
Some people are happy about Xiao Luofeng's decision, while others are worried about it.
At this moment, a sharp sound suddenly sounded, coming from far to near, as if cutting through the void.
"The imperial edict has arrived!!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
What the hell?
Imperial decree??
Why did the imperial edict come to Qingdong City??
Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.
bullet,
Arrived.
A young father-in-law walked in surrounded by a group of soldiers, raised the imperial edict above his head, and then looked left and right.
Many people in the room had no experience in receiving imperial edicts. The first person to react was Uncle Cheng next to Xu An. He immediately knelt down.
As soon as he knelt down, everyone followed him.
There were already a lot of people inside and outside the hall, so they all knelt down in unison, which created a kind of momentum.
"Ahem..." The father-in-law who came to announce the decree probably didn't expect that there would be so many people. He felt quite proud and cleared his throat and asked: "Xiao Luofeng, is Xiao Shouwei here?"
"I'm here!" Xiao Luofeng knelt forward two steps.
"Hmm." The father-in-law glanced at the back of Xiao Luofeng's head and said loudly in a high-pitched voice: "Qingdong City guard Xiao Luofeng did not give in when facing a strong enemy, and risked his life to observe the enemy's situation. It can be said that he fulfilled his duties, was loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
."
"After being trapped in Lingshan by the Southern Zhou army, he dared to use a hundred men to surprise the opponent's two thousand men, and finally succeeded. He was simply bold, careful, brave and resourceful."
"I'm so relieved!"
"What I need in Dajing is a loyal minister with a heart like Xiao Shouwei, and what I long for is a commander with both wisdom and courage like Xiao Shouwei!"
"A hundred words are not enough to praise Lingshan's great victory, nor to describe Xiao Shouwei's bravery."
"When Xiao Shouwei comes to the Western Capital to receive the title, I will have a drink and talk with you, and then relive the grand occasion of Lingshan Mountain!"
"Xiao Luofeng has made an indispensable contribution to this battle. I have decided to confer Xiao Luofeng as General Longxiang!"
"The soldiers who accompanied General Long Xiang to fight in Lingshan were promoted to three levels in a row!"
"Appreciate this!!"
After the father-in-law finished reciting the imperial edict, there was a complete silence inside and outside the hall. It seemed that no one was distracted.
When they first heard that Xiao Luofeng defeated the Southern Zhou army at Lingshan, people were very confused. When did this happen?
Why have I never heard Xiao Luofeng talk about it?
Not only Xiao Luofeng, but also the returning garrison did not say anything.
It’s hidden deep enough!
When they later heard the words "General Long Xiang", many people were already in a state of tinnitus.
Especially Du Laihua, it felt like his head had turned into a ball of mush. Not to mention what he could hear, even the ability to think was suddenly gone.
General Longxiang!
General Longxiang!!
What is Xiao Luofeng now? He is just a small city guard, but suddenly he has become a third-level general!
Soar!!!
Xiao Luofeng himself was also surprised, and his whole body could not stop trembling.
He thought that he would be heavily rewarded, but he didn't expect that the reward would be so heavy!
The imperial court grades, like civil and military officials, were also divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.
Needless to say, he is of the lower third rank, he is just an official.
Generally speaking, if you want to get ahead, you have to get to the middle or third level no matter what, and that's called being successful.
But if you can reach the third level, then you will truly be a glorious ancestor!
Xiao Luofeng dreamed of becoming a general. The first time he was awarded the title of general, he was awarded the title of General Longxiang, a third-rank officer!
Although he is the lowest ranked general in the third rank, he is still in the upper third rank!
The grade is higher than Huangzhen!!
How could he not be excited!!!
He subconsciously turned his head and found Zhao Cheng in the crowd. Although Zhao Cheng did not look at him, he bowed deeply to Zhao Cheng.
He knew very well that if Zhao Cheng did not give him this credit, how would outsiders evaluate Zhao Cheng?
He will completely remove the label of playboy and be praised as a tiger father without dog son!
Zhao Huan has a successor!
But Xiao Luofeng didn't understand that this was what Zhao Cheng was most afraid of.
The silence at the scene lasted to the point where the father-in-law who announced the decree was embarrassed. He coughed again and said: "I appreciate this..."
Still no response.
The father-in-law moved his feet to attract Xiao Luofeng's attention, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and take the order, General Long Xiang."
Only then did Xiao Luofeng react, and he quickly knelt down straight, took the imperial edict with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Xiao Luofeng, thank you for your kindness!!!"
"Please get up quickly!" The father-in-law hurriedly went to help Xiao Luofeng himself, showing extremely polite manner.
When we came out, Eunuch Lu had told us not to be arrogant after going to Qingdong City. I'm afraid there were already a lot of people there that we shouldn't mess with.
And this Xiao Luofeng, this old slave has served His Majesty for ten years and has never seen such a large span of rewards. From now on, Xiao Luofeng will become a new noble in the imperial court.
The young father-in-law has a lively mind, so how could he not know that Eunuch Lu actually said these things to him with the intention of encouraging him to leave a good impression on Xiao Luofeng.
Xiao Luofeng was very flattered by the courtesy shown by his father-in-law, and quickly said: "Father-in-law, you don't have to be like this!"
"It should be!" the father-in-law said with a smile: "General Long Xiang has made great achievements in the Dajing Dynasty with his hard work. I really admire him!"
Xiao Luomu walked over, smiled at his father-in-law, and then stuffed a stack of banknotes over him.
"How can this be done..."
Before the father-in-law finished speaking, Xiao Luomu stuffed the banknote directly into his father-in-law's sleeve and said: "I am the younger brother of General Longxiang. It is a long journey from Changsui to Qingdong, and my father-in-law was tired of traveling and traveling. It is purely my personal responsibility."
A little thought!”
Only then did the father-in-law accept it with fear.
Xiao Luomu breathed out, feeling indescribably happy in his heart. He suddenly thought of something and looked back.
