Finished the al!
Tonight, the rooms of the many wives and concubines within the Zhao Mansion are destined to be restless.
After being apart for so long.
Zhao Feng naturally needed to make up for lost ti with them.
The next day!
Morning Discussion Hall!
As the court session was about to begin.
Many ministers were already waiting outside the hall to enter the court.
"Have you heard?"
"Zhao Feng has returned."
"He arrived yesterday, seed to have entered the palace for an audience, and then returned ho."
"So young yet elevated to Senior General, now being titled Martial Lord, alas, only twenty-three, comparing oneself with him is maddening."
"From today onwards, Zhao Feng Senior General will be the head of military officials."
"Must not offend."
"Even without a title lordship, Zhao Feng’s rank alone makes him the head of military officials, though young, his military achievents far surpass those of other Senior Generals."
...
The ministers congregated in small groups, discussing, with Zhao Feng being ntioned the most.
The news of Zhao Feng’s return had already spread throughout Xianyang.
His arrival caused a commotion, many citizens spontaneously greeted him, a scene evident all the way from Shaoqiu County.
Zhao Feng had beco the hero of the entire Qin.
At this mont!
A six-horse carriage entered the Royal Palace Square.
Many ministers turned their attention toward it.
"Zhao Feng is here."
A minister voiced.
Many looked over.
On the carriage.
Zhao Feng had already changed into the official robe of a Qin military officer, sword at his waist.
After stepping off the carriage, he slowly walked towards the Morning Discussion Hall.
Only Zhang Ming, who drove the carriage, along with a few trusted aides remained in place.
"Wait for my command, then move into the hall." Zhao Feng said solemnly.
"Understood." Zhang Ming imdiately obeyed.
Then.
Zhao Feng stepped onto the staircase.
Regarding the nurous gazes from ministers outside the hall, Zhao Feng remained composed.
When Zhao Feng approached.
Imdiately, so ministers gathered around.
"Congratulations to the Senior General for returning triumphant."
"I have heard of the Senior General’s surprise attack on the Northern Frontier foreign tribes, truly admirable."
"Leading an army of thousands into the land of Northern Frontier foreign tribes, the Senior General is truly a deity."
"I salute..."
One by one, ministers congratulated Zhao Feng.
In response.
Zhao Feng naturally smiled and returned their salutes, clasping his fist: "You are too kind, I, Zhao, am a soldier of Qin, fighting on the frontlines is my duty."
These words were naturally polite responses.
At this point!
Han Fei walked over slowly.
"Lucky to be alive, eh?"
Han Fei spoke with a sowhat teasing tone.
Upon hearing this.
The faces of many ministers around changed.
If soone unfamiliar said this, it would clearly be mockery.
But the ministers at the court naturally understood Han Fei.
Every ti soone targeted Zhao Feng in the court, Han Fei was the first to refute, hence everyone knew of the connection between Han Fei and Zhao Feng.
"You, next ti I’ll take you to the grasslands."
Zhao Feng retorted with mock annoyance.
"I, Han, am a civil official, not a military commander."
"Such battles are best left to you."
"After court today, you’re treating at the Immortals’ Liquor House."
"Hearing of your lone assault on the grasslands, I’ve been worried sick." Han Fei complained.
Casually, he delivered a punch to Zhao Feng’s chest.
The punch naturally had little force; even if he punched with all his might, Zhao Feng would just find it ticklish.
"Hahaha."
"Rest assured."
"You’re definitely getting your share of the drinks."
Zhao Feng laughed heartily.
"Welco, Pri Minister Wang."
"Welco, Huai Xiang."
At this point!
Ca another wave of welcoming from the ministers.
Only to see Wang Wan and Huai Zhuang arriving, heads held high.
When they glanced in Zhao Feng’s direction, their brows knitted slightly.
"What a sha."
"If it weren’t for Wang Wan’s obstruction, you could have been promoted to Grand Commandant after slaying the King of Donghu last ti." Han Fei sighed.
"Compared to Grand Commandant, Martial Lord is better."
"Besides, Grand Commandant will be mine sooner or later." Zhao Feng chuckled lightly.
"That’s true."
"The peak of twenty ranks, as Martial Lord."
"Among the military commanders, no one can surpass you."
"Grand Commandant is a foregone conclusion, it’s only a matter of ti." Han Fei nodded with a smile.
"By the way."
"Do you need talents under your command?" Zhao Feng rembered sothing and asked Han Fei.
"Yes, desperately lacking." Han Fei smiled imdiately.
He naturally understood Zhao Feng had high standards; if Zhao Feng called soone talented, they were certainly not ordinary.
Even the Shaoqiu Governor Yan Bing, who seed historically unknown, was greatly capable following Han Fei’s recomndation, managing an area effectively.
"Good."
"We’ll talk more at the Immortals’ Liquor House." Zhao Feng smiled.
At this mont!
"Congratulations, General Zhao."
"You’ve created great achievents, impressing the world."
A rich voice exclaid, it was ng Wu.
Accompanied by Huan Yi.
"Congratulations."
"This Northern expedition against the foreign tribes truly displayed the power of Qin."
"Majestic, an epic feat." Huan Yi also gave Zhao Feng a thumbs-up.
"To receive such praise from both Senior Generals is my life’s fortune."
Zhao Feng smiled, not flaunting his high rank, promptly clasped his fists in return.
"This isn’t flattery; your military achievents are truly the envy of any war general." Huan Yi chuckled.
"Previously, we compared ng Tian and Wang Ben with you; now, it seems we can’t match you."
"A born military genius."
ng Wu also sighed.
Ultimately, comparison is maddening.
When Zhao Feng was the main general, ng Tian and even Huan Yi used Zhao Feng as a benchmark for their subordinates, urging them to learn from Zhao Feng.
