Unmatched Soldier King

"Oh, oh, oh." Denean was scolded by Ye Tian to the point that she nodded. However, she didn't understand the relationship between her living in the shanty district and the imperial family's reputation. That was the last reason she cared the most about.    

    

Actually, Denean didn't know that her appearance was very consistent with Ye Tian's aesthetic feelings towards westerners in another world.    

    

Ye Tian was a normal man, so he had to be a little bit more relaxed. Imagine if a combination of Emma Watson and Scarlet Johnson could be seen at home every day. That kind of feeling was definitely not an ordinary one.    

    

Denean packed her things that afternoon and got into Hong Sheng's carriage with her two children.    

    

After entering Jade Lake West Garden's door, Mei Rou and Bi Ling helped carry the things while curiously looking at the two children. They had golden hair and moving blue eyes. In fact, their beauty wasn't any less than Denean's, it was just that they were still young and their small faces still had a tender look. They didn't have the mature charm of a woman like Denean.    

    

The small courtyard that Ye Tian lived in was called Jingann Courtyard.    

    

The Jingann Courtyard were surrounded by four rooms. Ye Tian himself stayed in the North Chamber, Mei Rou and Bi Ling stayed in the west room, while Yu Loong stayed in the east room. The south room was the kitchen. However, Jingann Courtyard was coincidentally connected to a small courtyard called Fallen Flower Courtyard. Considering that Denean not only lived here, but also worked at home sometimes, Ye Tian decided to give all of the Fallen Flower Courtyard to Denean.    

    

Of the two children, one was called Sophie and the other was called Angel. Sophie's personality was more lively, and her mouth was also quite sweet. After entering Jade Lake West Garden, whenever she saw Mei Rou and Bi Ling, she would call them big sister, making Mei Rou and Bi Ling's flowers and branches tremble wildly. Angel, on the other hand, was a bit more introverted. When she entered the courtyard, she was a bit more reserved. However, as she looked left and right, she felt that this place was very fresh.    

    

There were four rooms on each side of Fallen Flower Courtyard. Denean lived in North Chamber while the two children stayed in the west room. The south room was even the kitchen.    

    

At this moment, Denean might not understand how much authority she had right now, but Ye Tian was clear that even in the entire imperial court, the treasurer of Imperial Household Department was a very influential person.    

    

After settling down, Mei Rou called the two children over for dinner. Denean immediately threw herself into work, because Ye Tian had already stored all of Imperial Household Department's accounts in the east wing.    

    

The moment she sat in front of the wide office desk, Denean suddenly felt a sense of security. The long years of wandering had left her with no one to rely on. Watching Mei Rou, Bi Ling, and the two children joking outside the window, she felt at this moment a sense of peace and stability that she had never felt before.    

    

This was the life he had always dreamed of.    

    

More importantly, even though Your Excellency Ye had promised to treat his two children, not seeing him all day was not something she could do with her identity. Now that they were living in Your Excellency Ye's home, even if she didn't mention it, Your Excellency Ye would still be able to see the two children everyday.    

    

The identities of the two children were not ordinary. As long as they could live on, there might come a day when they could change the fate of the two strongest empires in the West Continent.    

    

Thinking of this, Denean lowered her head and smiled sweetly at the account book on the table. At this moment, no one could see the breathtaking beauty in her smile.    

    

At the east gate of the capital, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards were already standing in four formations, with two rows of stirrups pointing towards the sky. The flags fluttered in the wind, and the troops were in a neat and orderly state.    

    

This was the highest level of etiquette in the Tiangong Empire.    

    

"The Beilao Pass Soldiers have returned to the Capital. The Beilao Pass Soldiers have returned to the Capital." Teenagers came back from the east gate, shuttling back and forth through the streets and alleys, announcing this important news.    

    

The commoners rushed towards the east gate. Even though they were still a hundred meters away, they were blocked by the soldiers responsible for clearing the path.    

    

Ye Tian was assigned by the emperor to be responsible for receiving the Beilao Pass general back to the capital to report on his duty. Right now, he was standing in the middle of the path outside the east gate, looking at the group of cavalry soldiers that was gradually approaching from afar.    

    

The various levels of Military Court, as well as the counselors and the chief commander, all stood behind Ye Tian in succession. The Imperial Guard Commander-in-chief glanced at the side of Ye Tian's face with his hawk-like eyes and thought to himself: "I didn't expect this President Ye to be so proficient in imperial etiquette. Whether it was the procedures or the details, he couldn't find any fault with it."    

    

A group of gray armored cavalrymen gradually approached from the main road of the eastern gate.    

    

When they were about twenty meters in front of the honor guard, the horsemen stopped their horses and dismounted. The leader of the generals walked forward and knelt on one leg. He said to Ye Tian, "The 4th Army of the Empire's Fourth Army is stationed at Commander-in-chief, Fu Yutang. Greetings, Your Excellency Ye."    

    

Ye Tian extended a hand to help Fu Yutang up and said, "Fu Commander-in-chief, thank you for your hard work."    

    

Fu Yutang stood up, looked at Ye Tian carefully, and then said: "Your Excellency Ye, my hardships are nothing. If not for your Pulley Type Steel Crossbow, who knows how much trouble the soldiers would have to suffer."    

    

After saying that, Fu Yutang looked back, and there were twenty-six officers at and above the level of the Beilao Pass Battalion. He then said: "On behalf of all the warriors of Beilao Pass, I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to you."    

    

Ye Tian observed Fu Yutang after he finished his sentence. Apart from two or three generals at the level of twenty-six who had a look of disdain in their eyes, the others all had excited and emotional expressions.    

    

The two or three people slightly nodded when they saw Lin Aoxiong.    

    

Ye Tian smiled lightly. He had a rough idea of what was going on. He waved his hand towards the city and said, "Please!"    

    

The group headed for the city.    

    

The clocks rang out in unison, the horns sounded out in unison, the Imperial Guard stood firm, and the people cheered. Fu Yutang and the other generals who had been fighting for years in the Beilao Pass felt a sense of pride at this moment.    

    

The imperial display of such a grand welcoming ceremony, which shows the Emperor to the border soldiers and the importance and care. At this moment, some of the young generals had tears welling up in their eyes. Even if their bodies were to be smashed to smithereens and they were to die in battle, they could not let down the emperor's heavy burden …    

    

After entering the city gates, Ye Tian said, "Fu Commander-in-chief, according to the emperor's orders, I held a welcoming banquet at Jade Lake Villa. We won't stop until we're drunk."    

    

Fu Yutang laughed loudly: "Alright, today I'll see how good Your Excellency Ye's alcohol tolerance is, and if he also has the domineering aura of a Pulley Type Steel Crossbow."    

    

Hearing Fu Yutang's words, Ye Tian smiled and waved his hand with a bitter face, "I can't drink as much as you want. Don't compete with me. I can't drink as much as you can."    

    

Seeing Ye Tian be so honest, Fu Yutang laughed out loud, "You are indeed a gentleman. Your Excellency Ye's personality is honest and honest, it makes me embarrassed."    

    

Jade Lake Villa was the biggest restaurant in the capital and was right beside the Jade Lake City. It was about one kilometer away from the Jade Lake West Garden.    

    

At this moment, Ye Tian led Fu Yutang and the rest to a spacious private room on the second floor of the villa.    

    

Inside the private room, there was a jade ornament and red satin cloth wrapped in an extremely luxurious cloth. A long table was placed horizontally in the middle of the hall. The table was already filled with all kinds of fruits.    

    

This was a room specially designed for dozens of people to gather at the same time. Just the deposit was 10 taels of silver. The princes and princes of the capital usually did not come to such a luxurious place.    

    

The generals had been fighting in the border trials all year round, but they had never seen such a generous place. Thus, they were a little restrained.    

    

Ye Tian didn't have the bearing of a third rank official. He pulled out the chairs one by one and motioned for the officials to sit down. Seeing Ye Tian arrange for people to take their seats, Fu Yutang felt a little embarrassed. He said, "Find a place yourself."    

    

When the generals heard Fu Yutang's order, they no longer held back and quickly pulled out the chair closest to them and sat on it.    

    

Ye Tian was slightly surprised when he saw the general's actions.    

    

A true soldier, no matter where he was, would display the qualities of a soldier. From this point of view, Fu Yutang's soldiers were quite organized and disciplined.    

    

Ye Tian suddenly became interested in Fu Yutang.    

    

Ever since the Emperor had suddenly thought of the matter of receiving Ye Tian, who was responsible for the reporting of the Beilao Pass soldiers back to the capital, Ye Tian had thought about it for a good few days. Finally, he understood the Emperor's intentions.    

    

Ye Tian did not have any foundation in the army, but he invented the Pulley Type Steel Crossbow and forced the Oca Seventh Legion to retreat. It could be said that even though Ye Tian wasn't in the army, he had already earned some military merits. Because of this Pulley Type Steel Crossbow, there were many people in the army who knew Ye Tian. There were even some who admired Ye Tian.    

    

If Ye Tian's mind was clear and his ability was outstanding, he could use this reception cleverly to cultivate his contacts in the army and even build up his influence there.    

    

This was the emperor's test of Ye Tian's ability to take on a big role.    

    

Ye Tian naturally seized this opportunity to win more chips for himself in the imperial court.    

    

At this moment, the two sides of the long table were filled with people. Ye Tian was a third-grade official in the imperial court. He was of the highest rank and was the first to take his seat. After Fu Yutang and the rest of the Beilao Pass generals, then the Imperial Guard Commander-in-chief, Lin Aoxiong, as well as the various levels of Military Court aides, counselors, and the chief commander.    

    

Ye Tian clapped his hands. A group of women dressed in fine muslin carried a plate of dishes and placed them on the long table. The other group of females filled their wine cups for each of the adults.    

    

On the dance floor below the long table, a group of dancers had already danced in response to the melody of the lute and flute.    

    

Ye Tian raised his wine cup and said in a clear voice, "Our Emperor has decreed that all soldiers and officers of the Beilao Pass must guard the borders all year long and retreat the armies of the Oca several times. This is a great accomplishment and he is bestowed with a special salary of a thousand silver taels for each soldier of the Beilao Pass."    

    

The generals shouted in unison, "Long live the Emperor!"    

    

Everyone downed the wine in one gulp.    

    

After three rounds of drinking, people began to talk a lot. Many of Military Court's aides, advisors and chief were originally acquainted with the Beilao Pass's generals, and in the beginning, most of them came from the same camp. At this moment, he began to reminisce about the past and to drink a cup of wine.
