C5 Special meaning
He had broken the spearhead because he felt that the wooden spearhead was useless, but in the eyes of the five hundred elites, it held a special meaning. They felt that the legendary Lord Ye Dong was a calm man, and they all had a good impression of him.
They were waiting for Ye Dong, but they didn't have the time. Taking a hundred steps back, Ye Dong bent down on his horse and sped into the formation set up by the five hundred elite loyal soldiers. He kept his horse's hooves on the ground and his stick shadows were all over the place. A pair of eyes searched for loopholes in the formation of 500 people. A long rod was used to knock down a person's hands and then the horse's legs. One man and one horse were both as agile as a cat. They traveled through the center of the formation, leaving no room for anyone to make a move.
Ye Dong was moving fast in the encirclement of five hundred men. He was charging left and right. A long stick swept, some lifted, some hit, some smashed. He had been fighting like this for a while. It was a mess.
The loyal soldiers had a good impression of Ye Dong. They showed mercy to him during the fight, but they still had to do something about it. Luckily, they were all killed on the battlefield, so the snowflakes on the ground were flying about and the sky was covered with snow.
The five hundred elite warriors showed mercy to Ye Dong, how could he not feel it? Therefore, he pretended that the soldiers lying on the ground were not hurt at all. Ye Dong had seen the soldiers winking at him during his free time, which made him sweat profusely. He had no idea that his luck had improved so much!
Actually, the fact that these five hundred elite members of the Zhongwu Army were merciful to Ye Dong was one aspect of his character. The most important aspect was that they were loyal to the emperor. The little emperor had asked them to test Ye Dong's ability, so it was easy for them to guess that the little emperor valued Ye Dong because of his ability. This leniency made the little emperor happy, and it also made Ye Dong, his future superior, happy.
No matter how sly Ye Dong was, he would never have thought that he would be like a fish in water in this situation. He just needed to sweep the field with his long stick to lie down. Ye Dong was running in the array for a while. He calculated the time it would take to burn an incense stick to burn. He glanced at the two hundred men who were lying on the ground and moaning in pain. Ye Dong snickered and rushed out from the encirclement.
On the way back, Ye Dong mustered all his strength and galloped like a flying horse towards Luoyang City. Soon, he caught sight of the magnificent southern gate of Luoyang. Ye Dong was extremely happy. He was so happy that when he saw the head on the south gate tower, he shouted, "Ye Dong, come back!" The voice reverberated in the world for a long time. Even the horses who were chasing him started to slow down.
As soon as Ye Dong got to the south gate, the gate opened with a creak. Ye Dong went into the city and got off his horse. He ran up the wall and entered the attic. He saw the little king looking at him with pride.
I accept the honor, so let's not talk about the pride, it's just like looking at a dragon from the top of one's head, awkward! Ye Dong walked in front of the little king. The little king patted his shoulder excitedly and said, "Since the smoke has risen, it has only been a short time. What's there to fear about such a martial art from the three kingdoms' Lu Bu?" After shouting that loudly, the little Emperor used a voice that only the two of them could hear and said, "You really are … I am not disappointed. Hehe, I will definitely not mistreat you."
Ye Dong rolled his eyes. Why did this little emperor sound like the head of the underworld! He shouted, "Thank you, your highness." Ye Dong and the young king looked at each other and smiled. They understood each other well.
After a while, Ma Liang followed King Qing up the city wall. The young emperor coughed and said, "All of you have seen the power of Ye Dong's beloved official today. Uncle Wang has just come back. Is there anything wrong with him?"
King Qing bowed to the little king and turned to the officials, "General Ye Dong is able to fight against five hundred of the elite members of the loyal army without being at a disadvantage. He has single-handedly killed more than two hundred men and then left calmly. He turned his head and knelt down before the emperor, shouting, "Your Majesty has bestowed General Ye Dong the title, this subject shall do his utmost to support you."
The little emperor was curious, but he nodded his head in satisfaction towards the ministers gathered in the room: "The Great Dream of Heaven actually managed to get me a general of the Imperial Family, Wen Ke An, Wu Can Fen. I am very happy, today, I will bestow upon you my beloved daughter of Ye Dong, a general of the Second Stage in the Great Dream, a hundred thousand troops loyal to the Martial Army, and a mansion of a Second Rank General with a thousand taels of gold." I have long heard that my beloved daughter, Ye Dong, and my beloved daughter, Princess Huiyu, are in love with each other, and before her, we were betrothed to a third tier servant, the beloved daughter of a middle tier scholar, Ye Chueqing. Tomorrow morning, we will announce to the world that my beloved daughter, Princess Huiyu, and her beloved daughter will be betrothed to Ye Dong.
The little Emperor's words were resolute and decisive, without room for any differences. The court officials were happy to see the young king beaming. They didn't dare to offend the young king. They had no choice but to celebrate with Ye Dong and Ye Xingshu. Ye Dong was calm. His father-in-law was smiling.
After the young emperor had finished congratulating the officials, he said, "In that case, please return to your homes, dear officials. It's time for us to return to the palace to review our memorials."
The officials knelt down to send him off. Ye Dong was also sitting on the floor pretending to be calm. After the king had left, he greeted the officials who had come to congratulate him. Finally, they left the city and went back to the Residence of Chang.
At this moment, Ye Dong was having a happy time. He would feel sorry if he didn't have a blissful expression on his face. As he entered the Chang Residence, he finally let out a "hee hee hee hee" sound. However, his face was still filled with the feeling of spring. The servants and servants were all dumbfounded as they looked on, not knowing what kind of crazy behavior this Prince Consort had.
When the "crazy" Prince Consort passed by the parlour, he saw that Madam Chang and her four wives were still chatting and laughing around the fireplace. As Lady Chang passed by the parlour, Lady Chang walked around the stove and laughed with her four wives.
The five beauties looked at Ye Dong's strange expression and looked at each other doubtfully. Lu Chang asked, "Husband, what are you doing? Are you happy?"
Ye Dong laughed and said, "You will know in two hours." He closed his eyes and crossed his legs. He didn't utter a word. The five ladies looked at each other and looked at him in confusion.
He sat in the warm parlour with his eyes closed. After about two hours, he heard a loud voice from outside the door: "Great dream of capturing Ye Dong to receive the decree —" That long voice made Ye Dong stand up and quickly go to the door to open it, inviting Lin Pu in.
Lin Pu, who had just entered, did not wait for Ye Dong to kneel down and started to recite the imperial edict, "Obeying to the heavens. Great Dream of the Gao Dynasty, Great Dream of the Emperor, Great Dream of the Heaven, Great Dream of the Gods, I am pleased to have Ye Dong's love for this general of the Great Dream, Wen of the Peace and Peace, and his martial ability to stabilize the nation. Ye Dong's love for this general of the Second Stage has been bestowed with a hundred thousand men of war, a thousand taels of gold, a thousand brocades of Shu, ten pearls, and a Flowing Cloud Horse. This is my gift! " Lin Pu closed the imperial edict and handed it over to Ye Dong, then took out the imperial edict again, and started to read: "With the blessing of the heavens, the Great Dream Emperor has decreed that the two great generals, Ye Dong and the Great Dream, Hui Yu and the Third Pin Attendant, Ye Wen and his beloved daughter, shall be in love with each other. Tomorrow morning, I shall announce to the world that the Princess and the daughter of the Great Dream, Ye Ai, will be betrothed to Ye Dong, regardless of status as his wife. This is my gift! " After handing the imperial edict to Ye Dong, Lin Pu's eunuch said to Ye Dong happily, "We congratulate General Ye Dong. He has gained a rank and has enjoyed the blessings of a general. The general is very happy and is only willing to rise in rank step by step!"
Ye Dong laughed and said, "Thank you, sir. Please wait for a moment. Ye Dong will go prepare some drinks. I will have a drink with you and let you know what's good for you."
Lin Pu waved his hand and laughed, "General Ye Dong is too polite, we are still waiting for you to return home to report to the emperor. Oh yes, your mansion is not far from the palace, only three streets away, and it's right next to Old Master Jin and General Mo. The furniture has been arranged for you, and the emperor has sent thirty palace maids to instruct the general on some matters.
When Eunuch Lin had finished speaking, he left. Ye Dong could not stop him and sent him to the gate. He saw him off on his horse and returned to the manor. When he entered the hall, his four wives looked at him with excitement, especially Rou Er and Qing Er.
Lu Chang ran to Ye Dong with a face full of shyness and joy. Without even caring about his mother, he kissed Ye Dong on the cheek and asked with a blush, "Husband Lin, are you lying to us? Are you going to be promoted as a second rank general just like that?"
Girl, you don't behave like one. What do you mean you're going to be one just because you're one? How can there be such a cheap deal? Your husband risked his life to earn it! Ye Dong stared at him and pretended to be serious, "You speak so lightly. It seems like it is just a moment, but it is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die!"
Seeing the seriousness in his tone, Lu Kai knew that he could only take ten to twenty percent of what he said in normal times, but he would rather believe what he said than not. Lu Chang cried out softly as he looked his husband up and down. Worried, he asked, "Has my husband been injured?"
