Seven days later, the demons withdrew from Mo Song Pass and aimed their attack at Ding Xi's army in Sunset City south of the steel wall.
Lin Muyu's injury needed to rest, so Qin Yin ordered an army to be left to guard the Qinling Mountains.
Gentian The battalion and the imperial army returned to Lanyan City.
At this point, the southern border of the Great Qin Empire was finally pacified, and all the dozen or so pass cities and fortresses in the Qinling Mountains fell into the hands of the imperial army to compete with the Yihe Kingdom and the Demon Clan.
On December 21, 7734 in the imperial calendar, the army returned to Lanyan City.
The fierce battle was finally over.
As a king, Qin Yin's first thing was to reward him for his merits.
The next day was the court meeting, where all the ministers gathered.
Although Lin Muyu was wrapped in gauze, she still put on her armor carefully and walked to the court with her injuries.
He knew very well that he must support Qin Yin at this time, otherwise she would still be beaten by Tang Lan and Su Mu in the court.
Restrained by clouds.
Feng Jixing stood with Lin Muyu and asked with concern: "How is the injury?"
"Much better, don't worry."
Lin Muyu grinned.
"That's good."
Feng Jixing said worriedly: "Ayu, you need to recover from your injury quickly.
The demons are ready to make moves recently.
News came from our scouts stationed in Dongshuang City.
Qianfeng has been training the legion tactics of the armored demons all day long.
Once again, When encountering the Qianfeng Legion, I'm afraid they won't be as stupid as last time."
"Yes, I know."
Lin Muyu thought of the demon marshal Qianfeng.
Such a wise and brave man was indeed a serious problem for the empire.
He only regretted that he was not strong enough, otherwise he would directly sneak into Dongshuang City and kill Qianfeng with one sword. , I’m afraid the empire will be much safer.
At this time, a courtier said loudly: "The court meeting has begun."
Everyone knelt down on one knee to welcome the empress.
Amidst the sound of footsteps, Qin Yin walked up to the throne accompanied by several female officials.
After sitting down gracefully, she raised her hands and said: "My lords, please stand down."
Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing stood up together and looked up, only to see Qin Yin wearing a milky white robe today, which made her look even more graceful and luxurious.
Her beautiful face showed a mature charm, but she still maintained A bit shy of a girl, but at this moment, Qin Yin is no longer timid at all.
Looking at the ministers with a pair of wonderful eyes, Qin Yin's voice was very sweet and she said clearly: "Since Commander Yu led the Gendan Camp to the south, he has made many military exploits and recaptured Mo Song Pass and Jiayuan Pass from the demons.
Waiting for the city fortress, he even entered the lost territory of the empire in Lingnan, and successively captured Huoyue City, Xingjue City and other cities in Xunbai Province, which greatly promoted our empire.
The national army is mighty, but the greatest achievement of Commander Yu is not just this.
It is to sneak into Sunset City and recapture the head of Qin Lei, the former leader of the Royal Forest Army who died for his country, among thousands of soldiers in Sunset City, so that the warrior can be buried back home.
I have decided to humiliate the empire and confer Commander Yu as a first-class general, one of the eleven generals in the empire.”
His Highness and his ministers were all moved and looked at each other, but no one seemed to be able to give a reason for their objection.
A group of generals from the Tang family had solemn expressions and remained silent.
This time the empress was so angry that she killed four generals from the Tang family in a row because of Lin Muyu's incident, and among them was Tang Zuo, a close relative of Tang Lan.
How dare they now Angry but dare not speak.
Among the crowd, only Tang Lu was a little unhappy and said: "Your Highness, Commander Yu has certainly made great contributions, but he is still young after all.
To be one of the generals of the empire at such a young age, I am afraid he is not qualified enough."
"Qualifications" Qin Yin smiled and said with familiarity: "In Lingyun Pavilion, Xiang Wentian was the commander at the age of twenty-one, Luo Tonghai was the general at the age of twenty-four, Feng Yicheng was the general at the age of twenty-seven, and Commander Yu is now I'm twenty-six years old, what's wrong with my qualifications?
Read the letter from the rebels of Lingnan Yihe State."
"Yes, Your Highness."
A female officer in Tsing Yi nodded respectfully, took out a piece of paper, unfolded it, and read to the ministers: "There was a scuffle when Lin Muyu seized the head of Commander Qin Lei at Marshal Lu Zhao's Mansion, and a total of people died under his sword.

There are more than a hundred people, including Ling Lu Zhao, one of the seven commanders of the Nanyihe Kingdom, General Zhao Jiu, General Li Cha, Qingqi Army Commander Wang Biao, Jingguo Army Deputy Commander Dong Yan, etc.
In addition, Commander Yu also killed Luo Lan's subordinates.
Yan Li, the strongest person in the Holy Realm, severely damaged Lu Zhan in the Holy Realm.”
After saying that, she turned around, bowed slightly to Qin Yin, and retreated.
Qin Yin stood up, with a smile on her pretty face, and said: "Looking at the Great Qin Empire, which loyal and brave general can do this?"
Su Muyun took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Commander Yu's loyalty to the empire is a testament to the world.
He was able to do things that others couldn't do in Lingnan, endured the unbearable, and made outstanding achievements.
It can be said that it is unparalleled in the past.
The empire has never been the same for hundreds of years."
No one has ever done this The veteran believes that Commander Yu’s meritorious service is worthy of the title of general.
Moreover, the 20,000 warriors of the Gentian Battalion are brave and good at fighting.
They are the best among the imperial legions.
Naturally, their commander needs a suitable title.
The name of general is worthy of the title.
Well deserved."
Qin Yin was greatly surprised.
She did not expect that Su Muyun would rely on Lin Muyu so much today, so she smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, grandpa, for your approval.
Do you have any objections to promoting Commander Lin Muyu to general?"
Tang Lan cupped his fists and said, "Old minister, I have no objection."
Everyone in the Tang family clasped their fists, and soon everyone began to congratulate Lin Muyu.
After all, there have been only a handful of such young generals since ancient times.
What's more, Lin Muyu is also the chief deacon of the Imperial Temple.
He is simply the leader of all Qin Yin.
Thousands of pets are in love.
Immediately, Lin Muyu took a step forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Qin Yin smiled and nodded: "Brother Ayu, please get up quickly."
Lin Muyu nodded, and soon, two imperial female officers stepped forward.
One held the general's seal ribbon in his hand, and the other held the general's sword.
These are symbols of military rank and military power.
After accepting them one by one, , Lin Muyu thanked him again.
"The second thing is about the reorganization of the Imperial Guards, as well as the reconstruction of the Imperial Guards and the White-robed Imperial Guards."
Qin Yin looked at the ministers with beautiful eyes like water, and said: "In accordance with the rules of the empire for more than seven thousand years, the people who protect the emperor are The important task has always been carried out by the Imperial Guards, but now it is shouldered by the Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards' main task is to protect the imperial capital, not the emperor, so I think it is urgent to rebuild the Imperial Guards. " His Highness and his ministers were stunned again.
Su Muoyun frowned and clasped his fists: "Your Highness, the security of the Zetian Palace has always been the responsibility of the Su family's cavalry led by your aunt.
Don't you trust your aunt?"
Qin Yin smiled sweetly: "Grandpa, what are you talking about?
Auntie is Xiaoyin's relative, how can I not trust her?
But this is the rule left by the emperors of the empire.
The emperor must personally confer the white-robed Yulin , Yulin Guards, establish a Yulin Army to guard Zetian Palace, just as Grandpa and Lan Gong have always said, the ancestral rules cannot be broken, Lan Gong, what do you think?"
A glimmer of light flashed across Tang Lan's eyes, and he clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, rebuilding the Royal Forest Army is not a trivial matter.
It needs to be done step by step.
Let's start with the White-robed Royal Forest.
The old minister suggested that Your Highness canonize the White-robed Royal Forest first, and then Form a team of 100 Royal Guards, and finally rebuild the Royal Guards.
After all, the empire's financial and material resources are limited, and it can no longer be as extravagant as it was four years ago. " Qin Yin groaned and said with a smile: "What Mr.
Lan said is absolutely true, so let's start by canonizing the white-robed Yu Lin."

Su Muyun said respectfully: "Your Highness, according to the ancestral rules, there have always been only six white-robed imperial guards.
But now, Lei Hong, Qin Lei, and Du Hai have all died for their country, leaving only Feng Jixing, Qu Chu, and Yao Yuan. , so we only need to add three more places.
I wonder if His Highness already has a candidate in mind."
"Yes."
Qin Yinli said with a smile: "Grandpa, I plan to ennoble Commander Yu as one of the White-robed Royal Foresters."
"ah" Su Muyun was slightly startled.
In fact, he could have predicted this.
He smiled helplessly and said, "Ayu is His Highness's sworn brother, and he has repeatedly risked his life to protect you.
Ayu's becoming a white-robed royal forest is something that everyone expects."
Qin Yin smiled and said, "Thank you grandpa for your permission."
Tang Lan said: "The veteran also believes that Commander Yu's promotion to the White-robed Imperial Forest is a matter of course.
However, there are still two places.
I don't know if His Highness can choose one.
The White-robed Imperial Forest is a symbol of loyalty and strength, and a symbol of the emperor."
With the strongest force and the most loyal belief around you, I hope Your Highness will think twice before making this decision.”
"Yes, I understand."
Qin Yin nodded: "I wonder if Mr.
Lan has anyone to recommend?"
Tang Lan smiled: "Xiang Yu, a descendant of the Imperial Army God Xiang Wentian, is well versed in the Nine Strikes of Chaos martial arts, and is even more capable of charging into battle for His Highness, regardless of life and death."
Suddenly, a general named Su behind Su Muyun couldn't help laughing: "Xiang Yu ordered to poison 1.8 million people in Wugu City.
How can such a murderous maniac deserve to become a white-robed royal forest?"
Xiang Yu's face was livid and he said calmly: "The general knows that he has few talents and few virtues, so he asked Duke Lan to recommend another worthy person."
Tang Lan sighed and looked at the group of Tang Lu, Tang Tian, Tang Wei and others behind him.
He couldn't help but sigh again.
Among the descendants of the Tang family, only Tang Xiaoxi was the most capable, but she was not on his side.
On one side, another brave general is Tang Zhen, but Tang Zhen is too upright, so he cannot be used for his own purposes.
Looking at it, he is full of mediocre people.
At this time, Su Muyun clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I recommend Su Yu.
She is your aunt.
Needless to say, she is loyal.
Besides, she also holds the power of Muyu City's 200,000 troops."
Qin Yin looked at Su Yu with her beautiful eyes and asked with a smile: "Aunt Yu, are you willing?"
Su Yu was filled with surprise and said: "I, can I?"
"Of course it's okay."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Su Yu stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace.
Su Yu will be loyal to the Qin Empire forever, otherwise she will die by the sword."
"Auntie, please get up.
You don't have to be so polite."
Qin Yin's heart was filled with joy and she said: "Then it's decided.
Lin Muyu and Su Yu will join the White-robed Royal Forest.
The canonization ceremony will be held at the Zetian Palace tomorrow, and then I will rebuild the Royal Forest Guards."
