"Big brother, eighteenth brother." Mu Wu got off his horse and looked at Fu Su and Huhai who were walking towards him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he quickly restrained himself.
"Second brother, you've worked hard.”Fu Su and Huhai said in unison.
"It is a matter of course to serve my father. How can it be hard? It was just that these days, he had to trouble Big Brother and Eighteenth Brother to worry about him.”Mu Wu chuckled, his eyes filled with joy as he saw his loved ones. As for whether it was true or not, the three of them knew very well in their hearts.
Who missed you? I wish you were dead. Who knew that Xiang Yan was so useless! Huhai thought so in his heart, but his face was full of worry. "Every day in the palace, I heard that Second Brother took the lead and even participated in the most difficult siege battle. I was extremely worried and wished that I could replace him with my body. I had nightmares in the long night. Second Brother, you died from thousands of arrows piercing your heart. Every time I woke up, I was scared. Now that I see that Second Brother is safe and sound, I am relieved.”
"Thank you for your concern, Eighteenth Brother. When I was outside, I often worried that naughty Eighteenth Brother might go into the river to fish today and accidentally drown. After thinking about it, there were many guards in the palace. How could such a situation happen?”
Mu Wu laughed at himself, as if he felt that his thoughts were ridiculous.
As for Huhai's darkened face, he pretended not to see it.
Everyone present was an important official of Great Qin. They had all heard about Huhai reporting that Mu Wu had touched the King's newly accepted wife, Ling Die. At that time, Young Master Mu Wu was almost killed by the King.
It was also after that time that Young Master Muwu became a completely different person, working hard until he became famous today.
Listening to their conversation, everyone could feel the unusual aura between the two of them. One of the three people standing here was the eldest son of the legitimate wife, who was well-known for his virtue and was proficient in government affairs. One of them was a bastard son, but he became famous in one battle and played a huge role in the war that concerned the fate of the country. And the youngest one, although he had not yet made any achievements in both civil and military fields, he was very favored by Ying Zheng.
When the king was a hundred years old, the throne would probably be decided between these three.
Many of the officials looked at the three brothers standing there and thought to themselves. As for the dozen or so people who were not qualified to come out, they did not even have the right to compete.
"Alright, I'm afraid Father is getting anxious from waiting in the palace. Let's hurry over.”Fu Su said as he came out. Looking at his two younger brothers who were facing each other, he felt inexplicably refreshed.
In the Palace of Xianyang, Ying Zheng was sitting high on the throne, and the two rows below him were filled with important officials. In front of each of them was a table, and the table was filled with food and wine. This was a celebratory feast.
Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Mu Wu, and Li Xin knelt on one knee and shouted,""Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Get up."
One could imagine how excited Ying Zheng was at the moment.
"This time, you have done very well. I am very happy. I will naturally not be stingy with the rewards! Let's start the banquet first!"
As Ying Zheng started eating, the people below also began to eat. It was worth mentioning that Mu Wu's seat was the first from the right, while Fu Su was the first from the left. At this time, the court officials respected the left, and the army respected the right.
According to the ranking of the imperial court, it was obvious that Fu Su had a higher status. However, according to the military ranking, Mu Wu had a higher status. Logically speaking, this was the Imperial Court, so the left should be the most respected. However, the key was that Mu Wu was sitting first. Logically speaking, he should be sitting behind Fusu like Huhai.
For a moment, everyone in the imperial court started to think.
After the banquet, the rewards were announced. What was more worth mentioning was that the Flying Bear Cavalry under Li Xin's command, which had been scattered by Xiang Yan last time, was actually reorganized by Ying Zheng's order. What made the ministers recall was that after the last defeat, Ying Zheng had announced that Li Xin would follow Mu Wu. So, although this Flying Bear Cavalry was not as good as the Golden Fire Cavalry of the Meng Clan, it was still an elite Flying Bear Cavalry. Was it possible that the King handed it over to Young Master Mu Wu?
This was to balance Young Master Fu Su's power or to raise Young Master Muwu's status.
Whether it was Li Si, Wang Jian, or Meng Wu, they all felt worried about Great Qin's future. After a hundred years, the two young masters would probably have a fierce battle.
As for Huhai, he was still selectively ignored by everyone.
"Muwu, follow me to the study.”
Ying Zheng ordered casually.
Mu Wu was stunned for a moment, then he apologized to Wang Ben and left with Ying Zheng.
Fu Su looked at Mu Wu with a complicated expression before he turned around and left. Huhai's expression didn't change, but his palms were bleeding.
In the study, Ying Zheng was reading the bamboo slips on the table, while Mu Wu was standing below, pondering the reason why Ying Zheng had called him over. During the great war, he had only received some gold and silver, but he had not received any official positions. At this time, the young master had not yet been able to directly take over the official position as he had later.
However, Li Xin was his confidant, and the Flying Bear Army was also his to some extent.
Just as Mu Wu was letting his imagination run wild, Ying Zheng opened his mouth and said,""Are you satisfied with the reward of the Flying Bear Army?”
Mu Wu was stunned for a moment before kneeling on the ground and saying,"The Flying Bear Army is the military name given to General Li Xin by Father. It has nothing to do with your son. Your son is willing to be a sword in your father's hand and sweep the world for your father!”
Ying Zheng was obviously very satisfied with Mu Wu's answer. The key was Mu Wu's unhesitating attitude.
He nodded, and his solemn expression relaxed.
"Get up. I heard that when you were chasing after the Xiang Shi Clan, you encountered the Mo Clan's people, so you allowed the remnants of the Xiang Shi Clan to escape.”
Mu Wu heaved a sigh of relief and stood up. He replied,"Yes, father. According to your son's investigation, the Mo clan had mobilized all of them, and even used the White Tiger and Vermillion Bird of the four mechanical beasts to save the remnants of the Xiang Shi clan.”
Ying Zheng's fingers lightly tapped on the table irregularly, and the room fell silent for a moment.
