"This is the true iron army of the Great Tang!”
"His reputation is well-deserved."
The commoners were full of praises!
Some young women even boldly threw the garlands in their hands at the soldiers on the horses to express their love.
Due to the crowd, the 2,700 soldiers took half a day to enter the city. Under the lead of the Golden Guard General, they passed through Vermillion Bird Street and entered the square of the Imperial City.
On the city tower, the honor guard was as bright as the clouds. Second Emperor Li walked briskly up the city tower and looked down at the soldiers below.
This 5,000-man team had experienced many fierce battles, and only 2,700 people were left.
However, every soldier exuded a cold killing intent.
In a trance, Second Emperor Li seemed to see the Black Armor Army that he had personally built back then.
He didn't expect Fang Yiai to be so intelligent and brave at such a young age!
The lone army went deep into the desert for thousands of miles and beheaded more than 20,000 people. They outshone the other three armies and made a great contribution.
Second Emperor Li sighed in his heart and said a series of words of encouragement.
Then, the secretary Yu Shinan walked to the front of the team and read out the imperial edict.
"Piao Yao Lieutenant Fang Yiai is both wise and brave. He led his army deep into the desert and killed more than 20,000 people. His reputation shook the North Desert. Because of his achievements, he was conferred the title of Fourth Rank North Conquering General, Founding County Earl, and 700 households of food city!”
Before this, Fang Yi 'ai was the champion of the Martial Arts Competition and was given the title of Yao Piao Lieutenant.
Now that he had been promoted three levels and was conferred the title of a general of the north, it was a great honor.
Compared to official promotions, Fang Yi 'ai valued titles more.
The founding county earl was a seventh-grade title. The seven hundred households in the food city meant that they would not have to work anymore. Every year, seven hundred households would pay tribute and taxes.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Because Fang Yi 'ai was wearing armor, she didn't kneel to Second Emperor Li and only cupped her hands.
Second Emperor Li raised his eyebrows, but he did not flare up in front of the ministers.
After Fang Yi 'ai expressed his gratitude, he returned to the military camp to settle down the soldiers before following the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the fief.
The fief was more than 100 miles away from Chang 'an. It was a manor with beautiful mountains and rivers, with more than 700 families.
When the farmers saw Fang Yiai, they knelt down and saluted.
"Zhao Erniu, you are in charge of counting the heads of the villagers. You are in charge of collecting rent every year!”
"Thank you, Second Young Master!"
Zhao Erniu was overjoyed.
Previously, he was in Princess Gao Yang's residence and suffered along with Second Young Master Fang Yi 'ai.
Now that the second young master had established his own family and was granted the title of founding county uncle, with 700 households in the food city, his status as a butler had also risen.
On the way back to the city, Zhao Erniu was in high spirits as he discussed his plans.
"Second Young Master, our residence is a little too deserted. I want to choose a few loyal and honest farmers to help take care of the internal affairs. I also want to find a few servant girls for you.”
"There's no need for a servant girl! Find a few loyal and honest farmers to do some chores such as fetching water, chopping wood, and feeding horses!”Fang Yiai said.
Second Emperor Li was really kind. The 700 households of the food city were not empty titles, but real fiefs given to 700 households. Even the farmers on the fiefs had the right to dispose of them.
This fief of 700 farmers was his foundation. He had to make good use of it. Fang Yi 'ai was thinking of using some of the advanced textile techniques, paper making techniques, and tea making techniques of the later generations in Zhuangzi.
"Grape wine, luminous cup, if you want to drink pipa, hurry up immediately. Drunken Lord Grim on the battlefield, how many people have fought since ancient times!”The heroic and generous sound of the zither rang out. Fang Yi 'ai looked up and realized that he had unknowingly walked to Drunken Moon Brothel.
"Young Master, please go upstairs!"
A few servants in green robes and small hats stood on both sides and said respectfully.
Their movements were neat and uniform. It was obvious that they had undergone strict training. Perhaps only a few nobles in Chang 'an had such servants.
It seemed that the grade of the Drunken Moon Brothel had risen quite a bit again.
Fang Yi 'ai quickly walked into the building and saw the white jade stone tablet with the sword drawn and the inscription standing tall in the courtyard.
In the past, he and Luo Tong drew their swords to write inscriptions after fighting in the Drunken Moon Brothel, and it became a much-told story. Now that they were back, Fang Yi Ai could not help but sigh.
"Young Master, please!"
A servant made a 'please' gesture and Fang Yi 'ai went upstairs.
Upstairs, he could smell a fragrant orchid scent. Presumably, the courtesan Xue Zhilan was waiting for him in the room.
Creak!
The door opened, and the curtains fluttered in the wind. There was a peerless beauty inside.
Fang Yi 'ai parted the flowers and brushed the willows, opening the curtains all the way in.
When he saw the beauty inside, his face could not help but turn as cold as ice.
"Gao Yang, it's you?" Fang Yi 'ai said solemnly.
He thought that the courtesan Xue Zhilan would be waiting for him, but he did not expect that the one sitting inside was Princess Gao Yang.
At this moment, Princess Gao Yang was dressed in a red palace dress, like a bride.
On her snow-white face, a flaming blush seemed to be jumping between her eyebrows, and her entire person emitted a fierce aura.
This aura made Fang Yi 'ai very uncomfortable!
Princess Gao Yang was a proud daughter of the heavens and had been spoiled by Second Emperor Li ever since she was young. She had an arrogant temperament, which Fang Yi 'ai did not like.
A woman should be as gentle as water, Gao Yang this tigress Fang Yi 'ai was not blessed to enjoy it!
"Fuma, I didn't expect you to be able to go on an expedition beyond the Great Wall and make great contributions!”Princess Gao Yang pointed at the seat opposite her, indicating for Fang Yi 'ai to sit.
Her every move was bossy.
"Princess, if you have something to say, just say it.”Fang Yi 'ai frowned.
