Near the Yimu Pavilion, a cadre of ministers and generals wearing various official uniforms gathered together, next to them were a thousand female guards with bright armor, their faces were filled with unconcealed pride, because Yuan Fang was their brother-in-law, and further away was a thousand forbidden troops waiting for them, all of them were full of morale, so to speak, within a radius of a few miles, the defense was strong, no one could approach, and the pedestrian caravans passing by had to make a detour, without exception, these people were secretly guessing who had such a big face to make the emperor personally greet him.

In everyone's expectation, in the distance, a military flag with a Tai Chi pattern appeared at the end of everyone's sight, gradually, getting closer and closer.

Yang Xingmeng stood up: "Coming, coming, boss, they're coming." Saying that, striding out of the wooden pavilion, Xiaomei and Damei got up one after another when they heard the words, and followed behind Yang Xing, for some reason, everyone's hearts were faintly nervous, or excited.

Yang Xing and his entourage stood in the middle of the official road and looked forward to it, and a group of ministers followed behind either happily or expressionlessly, and in the distance, several war horses galloped over.

On both sides of the official road, the forbidden army holding Changge looked at the people vigilantly, and when they saw Yuan Fang and the eight female soldiers around them, they moved a little and saluted, paying their most sincere respect to this omnipotent general.

At this time, Yuan Fang's mood can be described as an arrow, galloping all the way, looking intently at the imperial flag and those familiar figures in the distance, with a slight ripple in his eyes.

Seeing that Yuan Fang had no intention of dismounting, the forbidden army on the periphery did not slow down in the slightest, and the officers were at a loss and didn't know whether to stop Yuan Fang.

When the officer was in a dilemma, Yu Xiaolou, the commander of the forbidden army, waved his hand and signaled to get out of the way, the officer let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got out of the way with the soldiers under his command, waiting for Yuan Fang and his party to ride over and close the array again.

The closer the distance, the more anxious his heart became, forgetting the etiquette and forgetting everything, so Yuan Fang came to Yang Xing's side until he grabbed the reins of the horse and turned over and dismounted.

Looking around at everyone with burning eyes, Yuan Fang opened his arms and hugged Yang Xing who greeted him, and the two brothers reunited after a few months of separation.

Xiaomei, Damei, Yan Yue, Wan Chunya and other women watched this scene quietly, feeling the strong friendship between the two brothers, and they were full of mixed feelings and gratification. After a long time, Yuan Fang patted Yang Xing's back, took a step back and looked at this brother, and said with a smile: "It's only been how long, why have you lost so much weight?" ”

Yang Xing secretly wiped away the tears of excitement, punched Yuan Fang in the chest and said, "Still talking about me, boss, aren't you the same?" You are running around over there, I am similar in the imperial capital, I am busy from morning to night, I can't sleep if I want to, now it's okay, boss, you're back, I'll be relaxed in the future. ”

Yuan Fang pouted and said, "You don't come, I don't have time to help you, I still have a lot of things to do." ”

Yang Xing said with a dead face: "That's not good, I'm the emperor now, you have to listen to me." ”

Yuan Fang stiffened his neck and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm still your boss, you have to listen to me." ”

Xiaomei and Damei smiled when they saw this, and Damei said angrily: "One of you is an emperor and the other is a general, why are you still like a child who doesn't grow up?" Yuan Fang and Yang Xing looked at each other and smiled.

Xia Yi, Ye Qingru, Huo Bingyan and Lin Menghan stepped forward to give Yang Xing a salute, Yang Xing personally supported him, nodded with satisfaction and said: "A few eldest sisters, don't say anything else, it is a great achievement for you to protect the boss thoroughly, and you will all be rewarded after you go back." ”

Ouyang Xianxue pursed her lips and muttered, "We're not lazy." ”

Yang Xing laughed: "You guys are the same." ”

Ouyang Ruoxue was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Yang Xing squeezed his eyes at Ouyang Xianxue, Ouyang Xianxue pursed his lips and smiled, this is everyone's tacit understanding, when there are outsiders, maintain the necessary etiquette, and when there are no outsiders, they still get along like friends like friends when they were in Dongzhou.

After a reminiscence, and a greeting with a group of ministers, five hundred female soldiers and Dugu Zhen's family arrived, they did not have such treatment as Yuan Fang, they all got off the carriage in Laoyuan, and after some strict inspection, they met Yang Xing, the emperor of the Eastern Sage Empire.

Yang Xing kept a straight face, didn't say anything more after going through the motions, and ordered to return to the palace to wash the dust for the triumphant Yuan Fang.

Yuan Fang and Yang Xing rode side by side on horseback, and as soon as they entered the city, Yuan Fang was startled, and the streets were full of people standing in the city, either holding flowers or carrying baskets full of fruits and cheering.

Yang Xing maintained a friendly smile on his face, and waved his hand to the people on the side of the road from time to time, attracting cheers like a sea, and at the same time reminded Yuan Fang in a low voice: "Boss, you also said that they are all here to greet you." ”

Yuan Fang was stunned: "Greet me?" What do you want to do with me? ”

Yang Xing reminded: "You are the general of the Eastern Expedition, this time we have won a big victory, of course we have to promote it well to inspire people." Yuan Fang suddenly realized, and also learned from Yang Xing's appearance and waved his hand stupidly, and secretly slowed down, letting Yang Xing half of the horse to show the difference between the monarch and the minister, this is the most basic etiquette Yuan Fang still understands, especially in front of so many people.

On the day that Yuan Fang boarded the ship from Kaiyang Port, Yang Xing posted the news of Lu Bu's victory over the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and the people of the Eastern Sage Empire were all overjoyed, and the empire was strong, and they were also proud to be a member of the empire.

In the palace, Yang Xing did not feast the ministers, because it was not yet time, Yuan Fang had just returned, and the other generals were still on the way, so Yang Xing arranged a family banquet in the harem that day to catch Yuan Fang.

During the banquet, Yuan Fang frothed at the water and explained the Eastern Expedition in detail, and Yang Xing and others were amazed when they heard it, especially when they heard that Dugu Feng was dead and alive.

Then, Yang Xing talked about some things that happened in the empire during this time, such as those suspicious officials were purged, such as the progress of diplomacy with neighboring countries, such as the adjustment and transfer of officials, etc., and of course, some things that Yuan Fang was most concerned about.

Jiang Chengjia and Xin Ruolan returned to the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce after recovering from their injuries, and together with Da Mei, they have opened the shops of the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce all over the country, completely establishing the status of the first chamber of commerce in the Eastern Sage Empire, removing the initial investment, although the current surplus is limited, but the potential is unlimited, and in the near future, it will definitely become the main pillar of the empire's economy.

The military hospital, after this period of time, has begun to take shape, the overall building has been roughly completed, and the remaining fragmentary work will take almost a month, such a large siege, only a few months, it can be seen that the manpower and material resources invested are huge.

The farm continues to expand, and there are eggs and duck eggs produced every day, of course, the number of eggs produced has dropped sharply due to the weather, but even this is much more abundant than before.
