Chapter 167 Two Imperial Orders

"Greetings to Great General Lei! How has Great General Lei been? "

All of the villagers were stu

ed, they looked at Lei Tia with eyes full of suspicion, and their first reaction was: Could it be that they recognised the wrong person? But seeing that Lei Xiangzhi did not refute the middle-aged man, everyone understood in the bottom of their hearts that Lei Tia was actually a Great General, and their eyes were immediately filled with shock and reverence.

Yuan Yuan looked over curiously. Qin Mian calmly walked over and brought them to the side, hiding behind the crowd. He looked at Lei Tia with eyes gathering worry and vigilance. Why did the emperor's personal eunuch suddenly come to the Qingshan Village to see Tia?

He looked at Lei Xiangzhi in confusion, seeing that Lei Xiangzhi had slightly nodded his head, he heaved a sigh of relief, as long as it was not bad news.

Precinct Head's lips trembled, and he lost control of his voice for a moment. Lei Tia was actually a Great General, this news was too shocking.

Lei Tia avoided that eunuch's bow and said indifferently: "Eunuch Lee doesn't need to be so courteous, I'm not some Great General since long ago."

Yuan Yuan looked at Qin Mian, his eyes shining, and asked softly: "Father, father is Great General?"

His eyes were filled with light as well.

Qin Mian nodded. When the two little fellows found out that their father was once a Great General, they would definitely worship him even more.

The two little fellows' eyes lit up, but the two of them were smart enough to know that the matter was not simple. They stood beside Qin Mian quietly and did not speak again.

"You are, of course you are!" Eunuch Lee took out a pair of bright yellow scrolls from his sleeve, and used both hands to hold it respectfully and carefully. "Great General Lei, the Emperor asks this servant to pass down the orders."

When had the villagers ever seen such a scene before? When they heard the words' Your Majesty ', they were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

Qin Mian thought that when he asked for the imperial edict, he would need to set up an incense table.

Lei Tia expressionlessly nodded and made a gesture for them to follow him.

The Eunuch Lee was not surprised by his cold reaction. It was as if he was already used to it, his expression did not change and he did not mount the horse either.

Lei Xiangzhi and the rest of the soldiers followed along as they dismounted their horses and walked.

Lei Tia looked at Qin Mian.

Qin Mian gestured to Yuan Yuan and him to keep quiet, using both hands to carry them, and then sneaked into the village, escaping while no one was looking.

The villagers also stopped working and followed behind.

Precinct Head was a little worried, he quietly moved to Lei Xiangzhi's side and asked softly: "Xiangzhi brat, what's going on? Will there be any problems? "

Lei Xiangzhi whispered: "Precinct Head, don't worry, it's a good thing."

Precinct Head heaved a long sigh of relief, his heart was still thumping loudly. Their Qingshan Village was impressive, but outside of Lei Xiangzhi, the capital city official, a powerful businessman like Qin Mian had also sent a Great General.

Following Lei Tia down the mountain, Eunuch Lee saw the beautiful scenery of the village from afar with eyes full of admiration. After entering the village, he looked at the flowers and fruit trees by the side of the road and smelled the fragrance, his expression filled with praise.

"To think that the Thunder Great General would actually live in such a beautiful place, I am truly envious."

Since he did not receive Lei Tia's response, he did not feel awkward at all.

Lei Xiangzhi hadn't returned to his hometown in three years. His face was filled with shock, and he couldn't even see through a single pair of eyes. He had a feeling that the change in Qingshan Village had something to do with his eldest sister-in-law.

Once they entered the Leisurely Dwelling House, the Eunuch Lee and all the soldiers slowed down unconsciously. They looked around with envy.

Lei Tia invited Eunuch Lee into the house and instructed the servants to set up the incense tables.

Eunuch Lee stood in front of the incense table and began his royal decree.

With Lei Tia in the lead, everyone kneeled.

The Eunuch Lee read sharply: "I am under the blessing of the Heavens, the Emperor's Mandate says that General Lei Tianliu was originally brave enough to fight, leading troops like a god, and was bestowed the title of Great General, commanding the three armies. "Here it is."

Lei Tia's heart sank, and had no choice but to receive the imperial edict with both hands, "This subject accepts the gratitude, and thanks the emperor for ten thousand years!"

When Lei Tia placed the imperial edict on the incense table, the Eunuch Lee smiled and said, "Great General Lei, there is still another imperial edict."

A cold light flashed past Lei Tia's eyes, he slightly nodded, then silently knelt again.

The Eunuch Lee read out loud: "I am under the blessing of the Heavens, the Emperor's decree, Great General Lei Tianshou's military exploits and great achievements have been made in this country. He is bestowed with National Duke's Mansion, alchemy books, iron coupons and gold taels, as a token of the Emperor's kindness. "Here it is."

When Qin Mian who was listening on the second floor heard the second order, his eyes squinted, revealing a sharp and cold light, his heart was filled with suspicions. According to his understanding of the Grand Xia Dynasty, Great General s were already at the second rank, while National Duke s were at the first rank! Not only that, the titles of National Duke s could be inherited. As long as the descendants did not make any big mistakes, they could always inherit the titles. The Emperor's care for Tia was too sudden and deep, he could not help but suspect if there was some scheme involved.

What he thought of, Lei Tia thought of as well. And then, with the imperial power being so high, Lei Tia was unable to reject, and could only accept the decree to thank him once again.

The Eunuch Lee congratulated him while smiling, "National Duke, we have long finished tidying up the National Duke's Mansion. The Emperor ordered the servants to escort National Duke and his family into the capital city as soon as possible. "

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Lei Tia to speak, he continued in a casual tone, "I heard that not only does National Duke have a good family, but also a pair of cute little gongzi. But, why haven't I seen them? "

Once he said that, Lei Tia understood that the Emperor already had a basic understanding of his affairs. He could tell that the Eunuch Lee was hinting at him, so he nodded in acknowledgement.

The smile on the Eunuch Lee's face grew wider. The National Duke was currently the new upstart in the capital, it was only beneficial to befriend him.

"Uncle Fu, go check at the door if this young master and the Young Master have returned."

"Yes, sir."

When Qin Mian, who was upstairs heard Lei Tia's words, he carried Yuan Yuan and all the others and flew out of the window silently, landing outside the wall, then turned back.

Lei Tia invited Eunuch Lee to take a seat," Eunuch Lee, there are a lot of household chores that need some time to settle down. I wonder if the emperor has said a deadline?

Eunuch Lee laughed, "The Emperor only said that the sooner the better. National Duke doesn't need to be in too much of a hurry, after all, we need to settle down in the capital.

Lei Tia replied: "If that's the case, then I will have to trouble Young Master to wait a few days. I wonder if Eunuch wishes to live in Shuangzhuan Restaurant or in a mountain resort? "

Eunuch Lee said, "I'll stay at the Qilin Mountain Villa. I also love the scenery of this mountain village. "

While speaking, Qin Mian led Yuan Yuan in, and cupped his hands to greet Eunuch Lee.

The Eunuch Lee carefully sized Qin Mian up and thought that it was no wonder. He then sized Yuan Yuan and He Man up and immediately grew fond of them. He took out a pair of jade pendants from his chest pocket and gave them to Yuan Yuan and He as a greeting.

Qin Mian understood that settling down in the capital for the time being was not an option. These relationships were unavoidable, so he nodded to Yuan Yuan and her.

Yuan Yuan thanked him softly and accepted the jade.

Eunuch Lee secretly praised the two children's upbringing.

Qin Mian instructed the Uncle Fu to bring the Eunuch Lee and the others to the Qilin Mountain Villa.

Eunuch Lee very considerately kept Lei Xiangzhi here.

After Eunuch Lee and his group left, Qin Mian and Lei Tia sent all the villagers away, and had the Aunt Fu take Yuan Yuan and him down as well.

Lei Xiangzhi congratulated Lei Tia with a smile, "Big Brother, congratulations! Today, Big Brother Fang Zhi-ge has another name called 'Heavenly Thunder Toughness'. "

Qin Mian said: "'Lei Tian Gu' was given to him by your brother's master. We can talk about this matter later. Fifth Brother, why don't you tell us what's going on? Why did the Emperor suddenly restore your big brother's position, and even bestow him with the title of National Duke? "

Lei Xiangzhi laughed bitterly, and was puzzled, "This matter, I am also confused. Half a month ago, I suddenly received an order from the emperor, ordering me to lead the way for the Eunuch Lee to return to the Zhaoyang County to pass down the decree to General Lei Tiangang. At that time, I didn't think that Lei Tiangu was actually Big Brother, and thought that Great General Lei was coincidentally living in seclusion near the Flowing Water Town. In fact, it was only when I greeted Big Brother at the Eunuch Lee on the mountain that I found out that Big Brother was actually Lei Tianqiang. " His current emotions were no less complicated than Qin Mian's and Lei Tia's.

Qin Mian was worried about what thoughts he might have, and explained, "Your Big Brother's matters back then were very complicated. In short, he did not want to bring up the issue of being an official again, as it had left him with many unhappy memories. I hope Fifth Brother will not mind. "

Lei Xiangzhi quickly replied: "Eldest sister-in-law is too serious, I can understand. There must be a reason behind Big Brother's actions. "

He knew that Qin Mian and Lei Tia definitely had a lot to say, so he got up and said his goodbyes, "Big brother, sister-in-law, I'll go take a look at Third Brother and Fourth Brother first."

Lei Tia nodded.

After Lei Xiangzhi left, he hugged his waist and comforted him by kissing his lips, "Tia, don't think too much into it. When we get to the capital, we'll think of a way to get back.

Lei Tia lightly shook his head, picked him up, and carried him into his arms as he lightly said, "Wifey, as long as you and your child are here, I won't mind about anything else. Now, whether or not I live in the capital is not different to me. I'm just worried that you and your child aren't used to it. The water in the capital is very deep. "

"In the past, I never thought of moving to the capital, I thought that I would have to wait for Yuan Yuan and the imperial examinations to fill before I could enter the capital again. Now, I feel that there's no harm in moving to the capital. We have stayed in the Qingshan Village for so many years, it's not bad to go out for a walk. Yuan Yuan became bigger and bigger, it was time to go out and see the world. As for the complexity of the capital, I believe that with my brain and your ability, you will definitely be able to protect our family. "

Lei Tia felt an inexplicable sense of excitement from him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "As long as you don't feel wronged, you can go to the capital. I will protect you and the child. "
