Five days later.
Yuchi Jingde returned to court.
When Li Shi Min received the news, he immediately wanted to summon Yuchi Jing De into the palace.
At the same time, all the officials were lined up in the hall.
There was an extra court session, but none of them had any objections.
They all clearly knew just how great of a contribution Yuchi Jingde had made this time.
He deserved such treatment.
Yuchi Jingde was wearing armor as he walked into the main hall.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
But Yuchi Jingde raised his head and narrowed his eyes, enjoying this feeling.
His victory in this battle was worthy of such attention.
Although it was all thanks to Tangning, it still felt good to use someone else to show off.
After all, Tangning was currently working under him.
No matter what, he did have some credit for discovering Tangning.
Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips, extremely displeased.
His guess was pretty close.
For example, Yuchi Jingde definitely didn't have this kind of ability. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been at a disadvantage throughout the ten-plus years of struggle.
Apart from Tangning, he couldn't think of anyone else.
Only Tangning would be this perverted.
Cheng Yaojin was jealous.
She was relying on Tangning and yet she was showing off.
He wished he could immediately stand out and expose Yuchi Jingde.
But he still held back.
Although it was fine to make a scene usually, it had to be done in a different setting.
He wasn't someone who didn't know about accidents. On the contrary, he was a shrewd person. However, he was already secretly planning to poach her.
After they poached Tangning, they would see if Yuchi Jingde could still be proud.
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Yuchi Jingde bowed respectfully.
"Please rise, dear minister. This time, you have solved a major problem for zhen. You have done a great service. You only need to say what reward you want, and I can give it to you.”
Li Shi Min was in a good mood and waved his hand.
Wouldn't it be disappointing if he didn't reward such a great merit?
Those civil officials also did not stand out to refute, which was rare. They only stood silently at the side, looking at Yuchi Jingde rather enviously.
In troubled times, the usefulness of military officers was reflected.
On the contrary, civil officials were called useless scholars.
However, there was no way to object.
"This is my duty. I don't dare to ask for any reward.”
But Yuchi Jingde once again bowed and said.
He did not choose to reveal Tangning's situation.
Because, if he were to reveal Tangning's past in front of all the officials, it would cause a huge commotion.
There were so many military officials, especially the one led by Cheng Yaojin.
They were probably all planning to get their hands on Tangning.
Yuchi Jingde was quite cunning. He planned to leave court and look for Li Shimin on his own. He wanted Tangning's reward first. At that time, it would be someone else's turn to steal it.
He also had no ability.
His brain was still very useful.
Yuchi Jingde played a small trick.
He still didn't want Tangning to leave. Tangning was simply too devilish. If these animals found out, they would probably fight over her.
How could he tolerate such a thing?
"Meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and guilty deeds will be punished. This was the law, the rules. I can't change it. Since you don't take the initiative to mention your reward, then I'll make the decision. I'll give out the rewards in a few days."
Li Shi Min waved his hand.
This time, Yuchi Jingde's contribution was tremendous. Naturally, the reward was also rather generous.
Therefore, he needed to discuss it with the Prime Minister and the others.
Don't let your temper run wild.
If he gave too much, it would easily shock the master. If he gave too little, it would easily cause displeasure.
This was the path of a king.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yuchi Jingde bowed.
Then, he retreated to the side and looked at Cheng Yaojin beside him. He could not help but smile.
"The Mountain Thieves of Jilei Mountain are too weak. I wonder how your army was defeated?”
Yuchi Jingde stroked his beard and looked at Cheng Yaojin mischievously.
When Cheng Yaojin saw this black man standing beside him, he felt that something was wrong.
However, he did not expect that the first thing he did was to poke at his own pain.
"You're f * cking bullsh * t!"
Cheng Yaojin did not give him any face at all and directly cursed.
"Don't you know what those bandits are capable of?”
Cheng Yaojin said angrily,"It's just a victory, but you're so proud." It's all because of Tangning. If it wasn't for her, you would've ended up like me.”
He himself was a boorish person. Being ridiculed like this by this Yuchi Jingde, how could he still tolerate it?
But Yuchi Jingde's heart skipped a beat.
She was surprised. How did Cheng Yaojin know that Tangning was the one who took the credit?
He had given the order to seal off the news.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Yuchi Jingde like this. How could he not understand that he was right? They were so familiar with each other, which further confirmed his thoughts.
"You can't speak?"
Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly, proving that Tangning was to blame.
" You actually want to take all the credit for yourself? Once I leave court, I'll tell Tangning and see how you handle this!”
The moment Yuchi Jingde heard, he became anxious.
He had his own thoughts, but he couldn't say it out loud. Otherwise, he would offend everyone.
But, who knew what Cheng Yaojin was planning to say about him in front of Tangning.
If Tangning found out about this, he would definitely be extremely unhappy. After all, she had made such a huge contribution, yet she had swallowed it all up.
He might even leave.
"Don't slander me!"
Yuchi Jingde pointed at Cheng Yaojin for a long time, but did not know how to refute.
"You're thick-skinned, and your heart is as black as your face!”
Cheng Yaojin was not afraid at all.
"Do you want to fight?"
Yuchi Jingde glared at him with his bell-like eyes like a calf as he said angrily.
"Let's fight. Who's afraid of who?"
The two of them argued until their faces turned red.
"Silence!"
Li Shi Min's voice came from above, and they realized that their voices had unknowingly become louder, attracting everyone's attention.
