The next day, in the name of the Chamber Army, Qin Mubai invited the generals, including the six generals of the Huihe Army, and Xue Lian to a banquet in the temporary Governor’s Mansion.

The Huihe generals only said that Qin Mubai had given them a farewell banquet, so they happily attended the banquet. After three rounds of dishes and five flavors of wine, Qin Mubai deliberately walked over to the six Huihe generals and smiled, “I am extremely grateful that you generals have come all the way here to lead the troops!” This time, Huihe Tribe’s loyalty and righteousness were commendable for their hard work, and I, Qin, had already presented the imperial court with a commendation. A few days ago, His Majesty sent an order, specifically instructing me to do my utmost to entertain the generals with the hospitality of a landlord. “However, the war chaos in Lanzhou is rare and expensive. I apologize for my poor hospitality!”

Upon hearing these polite words, the Huihe generals were very happy in their hearts. They all stood up and drank with Qin Mubai, saying such polite words as’ Major Marshal is too polite ‘.

Qin Mubai suddenly changed the topic and said, “Recently, this Marshal heard His Majesty’s edict. Our Great Tang Imperial Court has dispatched 150,000 troops to assist Lanzhou. This is truly great news!”

“Yes, yes!” The Huihe generals smiled and joined in, not knowing what Qin Mubai meant.

“In this way, I don’t lack so many troops in my hands.” Qin Mubai still smiled and said, “Your battalion is a friend of my Great Tang. I am deeply disturbed that you have been following me through life and death. Therefore, I have ordered the Lanzhou Governor-General’s Mansion to prepare 2,000 urns of wine and 5,000 cans of fresh milk, and transferred 30,000 cattle and sheep from Long You Superintendent to reward and thank your battalion!”

When the Huihe generals heard this, their eyes immediately lit up with joy-this journey was not in vain!

“Apart from that, I also took out a portion of the gold and silver silk that His Majesty rewarded me. In addition to the fine Huzhou silk and other items that my wife Wu’s firm managed, I also took out a total of three hundred gold taels, sixty thousand silver threads, and three hundred silks as a personal thank-you gift to the six generals!” Qin Mubai smiled as she raised her wine glass. “A few mundane things are disrespectful. Please accept them with a smile!”

Everyone present, including some of the Kansai generals, were all speechless-this gift was too precious. Fortunately, it was someone like Young Marshal Qin who had such a solid family background and generosity!

The faces of the Huihe generals changed after hearing this! Not to mention anything else, just that was the best Huzhou silk silk. When the Han merchants arrived at the grasslands, one such silk could be exchanged for three to four adult high-quality horses! Now that Qin Mubai had given them three hundred in one breath, each of them could get fifty-a considerable fortune on the grassland!

“Thank you, Major Marshal! You are too generous!” The Huihe generals were filled with gratitude!

Xue Lian sat by the side and watched quietly, not knowing what kind of medicine Qin Mubai’s gourd was selling.

“You are welcome!” Qin Mubai laughed heartily and waved his hand, “Someone, bring up the gift!”

Dozens of soldiers carried cages into the hall. Golden copper coins and silk were placed all over the corridor of the hall, dazzling everyone’s eyes. Qin Mubai smiled and said to the six people, “Generals, why don’t you take a look at the quality of this silk?”

“Good, good!”

Huihe people swallowed their saliva and rushed to the pile of gifts in a hurry. The gold and copper coins packed in boxes and cages were not rare to them, but the top quality silk of the Great Tang had a fatal attraction to them. Immediately, the six of them rushed in front of a pile of silk and reached out to snatch it!

“This is mine!”

“This is too beautiful! What perfect silk and color!”

“Don’t rob me, this is mine!”

…

Many of the Tang generals present revealed expressions of disdain. Xue Lian’s expression was also ugly, and he felt that his face was shameful. However, Huihe Liujiang didn’t feel anything wrong at all. All of them snatched silk with red faces and were extremely busy.

Qin Mubai played with her wine glasses and smiled faintly as she watched them snatch the silk. It was only after the three hundred pieces of cloth piled up like a small mountain were divided into six parts that she said, “Someone, bring these gifts to the camps of the generals.”

“Yes!”

Only then did the Huihe generals return to their seats in peace of mind, and they were extremely grateful to Qin Mubai as they tried to persuade him to drink.

After a few more drinks, Qin Mubai said, “Actually, this little gift from me is nothing. If I were to arrive in Chang’an, I might not be able to exchange all of this for three acres of paddy field in the suburbs of Chang’an.”

“Ah?” The Huihe generals let out a shocked sigh.

‘”Chang’an, that’s really a lot of money! I’m a little short of money now, otherwise, I can give more to the six generals. For example, everyone has ten hectares of fertile land in Chang’an.”

“This! … Major Marshal doesn’t have to be too polite! With this, it’s enough!” The Huihe people swallowed their saliva and refused.

“Oh, right!” Qin Mubai made a sudden realization and said, “Earlier, when we arrived at Shanzhou, I wrote a list of the six generals’ great contributions. I believe the reward from the Imperial Court should be here.”

When the six heard this, their eyes shone with a blazing light, and they hurriedly cupped their hands in thanks.

“Generals, you’re welcome. There’s a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. This is what you deserve!” Qin Mubai chuckled. “Because Shanzhou is located in the remote area, it takes quite a while for messengers to travel. Therefore, I have invited all the generals to stay in Shanzhou for a few more days, so that I can do my part as a landlord and wait for the reward of the Marquis Imperial Court!”

Hearing this, the six of them finally woke up-they had been circling around for a long time, but it turned out that they wanted to “stay”, not give us a farewell party!

But … this benefit has already been taken. As the saying goes, if you take a short hand, how can you reject it now? Moreover, the rewards given by the Great Tang Imperial Court were definitely a hundred times more generous than Qin Mubai’s personal gifts! With so much wealth, you don’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life!

Human beings die in pursuit of wealth and birds die in pursuit of food!

“We feel the kindness of Major Marshal, so we can only stay here and disturb you for a few days!” Six generals readily agreed.

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.” Qin Mubai said with a smile. Inadvertently, she glanced at Xue Lian with a sidelong gaze, only to see her drink cup after cup and drink alone.

After the banquet ended, Xue Lian found Qin Mubai and said angrily, “What do you mean by doing this? Bribe him?”

“One is willing to give, and the other is willing to accept. How can it be a bribe to give it righteously and righteously?” Qin Mubai smiled.

“You’re too bad!” Xue Lian hatefully said, “Those Huihe generals have taken so many benefits from you. In the future, say one is one, say two is two. Tell me clearly, when did you annex the Huihe army? When did you seize their military power?”

“What’s’annexation ‘? What’s’seizing military power’? Don’t make it sound so unpleasant.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “At most, I’ll buy it from them!”

“Yes, you have money! You can use money to push things around!” Xue Lian was angry, but she didn’t know where the anger came from, so she clearly felt a little helpless.

“I have a few stinky dollars. I can do some small things.” Qin Mubai continued to laugh shamelessly and said, “More importantly, the Great Tang is rich, rich and gorgeous. On the other hand, why didn’t the Huihe Tribe bribe the ten thousand elite soldiers of Xue Rengui’s tribe back then?”

“Humph! Show off!!” Xue Lian was speechless and turned away with a cold snort.

“Don’t worry, I, someone Qin, have always acted according to my conscience and have never treated anyone unkindly.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “As expected, the six Huihe generals will receive a heavy reward from our Great Tang Imperial Court. They will go to Chang’an to receive land and titles, and their official positions will be promoted.” This was an honorable title, no matter what, it would be better than Tibet surrendering general and Gao Changjiang surrendering. Moreover, there was no reason for the leader of Huihe to express his dissatisfaction, because he was also looking forward to the reward from the Great Tang Imperial Court! Becoming a Tang and having the right of abode in Chang’an is the dream of countless Hu people from other countries. There’s no need for me to say that, right? Not to mention becoming an official of the Great Tang! As for ordinary soldiers, I will definitely treat them well. I’m sure you won’t doubt that. “Because even Tibet and Gao Chang’s surrendered soldiers are treated equally under one of Qin’s command.”

“You’ve taken all the reason. What else do we have to say?” Xue Lian said angrily, “I just feel that you’re not being honest! The Huihe Tribe has come a thousand miles to help, but you’re lucky that you’ve swallowed up all of their troops!”

“Xue Lian, do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be foolish?” Qin Mubai laughed.

“What do you mean?”

“These 40,000 soldiers were originally given to you by Vomiting Fanatics as a reward. They were also given as dowry for you and your sister. Now that you’ve sold them and done a favor, you still have to take them back. Is there such a reason in the world?” Qin Mubai smiled.

Xue Lian’s face immediately turned red. “What dowry? Look at you laughing. You’re so shameless!”

“Haha!” Qin Mubai laughed, “Xue Lian, I’m not trying to provoke you.” Tu Mudu is an ambitious person. He gave 40,000 troops to Xue Rengui to help Lanzhou. His intentions are very far-reaching, not all for the sake of the two of you. Not long after Li Ji wiped out Xue Yantuo, the Huihe Tribe would surely rise up in the grasslands and replace Xue Yantuo as the new overlord. Do you think the cost of these 40,000 troops is worth it? ”

“I understand. Don’t change the subject-what do you mean by dowry?” Xue Lian stared at Qin Mubai and asked.

“Isn’t it your sister who married Xue Rengui and you who will marry me in the future? Dowry!” Qin Mubai smiled brightly.

‘”…” Xue Lian was speechless, angry, and amused, “but you said it-who’s going to marry you?”

“Nah, I’ve already accepted the dowry. Whether you marry or not is up to you. Anyway, I’m not at a loss!” Qin Mubai laughed loudly and strode away.

“… This bad man is truly ignorant and shameless!” Looking at Qin Mubai’s back, Xue Lian stamped her feet in embarrassment and anger. Her heart was a little beautiful, but she felt a little aggrieved. She was much more assured than she had guessed before. In short, she had mixed feelings.

Qin Mubai had just taken a few steps when a small soldier ran over and hurriedly reported, “Young Admiral, General Pang Fei is back!”

“What?!” Qin Mubai shouted in surprise, “Where is he?”

“They have already entered the city! General Yuwen and the others have already gone out to receive them!”

“Call them to the manor hall!!” Qin Mubai rubbed his hands in surprise. “Brat, you’re not dead! You’re back!”

Xue Lian looked curious and walked forward to embarrass her, “Did the big girl fall from the sky? Look at how dumb she made you look.”

“On the contrary, there are a few grown men who didn’t lose the big girl.” Qin Mubai was in a good mood. He grabbed Xue Lian’s hand and said, “Let’s go and have a look with me!”

Xue Lian was stunned when he caught Soft Pancreas. Then, his heart beat wildly and he was a little embarrassed. “Let go, who am I to you? Just grab my hand like this!”

Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment before laughing loudly, “The children of the grasslands are indeed different from the women of the Han Clan!”

“What’s different? Tell me.” Xue Lian tilted her head and looked at Qin Mubai with anger and amusement.

“The difference is, you … feel better!” Qin Mubai smiled and still grabbed her hand. “Let’s go, let’s not waste time!”

‘”Hey!” Xue Lian shouted, but he grabbed his hand and couldn’t break free, dragging him forward. His face was burning hot, and his heart was beating. He struggled for a few times but didn’t earn it, so he pulled him towards the front hall.

In the hall of the Governor’s Mansion, a large group of people were gathered and cheering happily. Qin Mubai pulled Xue Lian into the hall and someone shouted, “Young Marshal is here!”

A loud shout immediately came from the center of the crowd-“Master!”

It was indeed Pang Fei’s voice!

Qin Mubai’s heart skipped a beat, “Pang Fei! You’re not dead!”

After the crowd split up, Qin Mubai could clearly see that Pang Fei and the others were being carried into the hall by the seven stretchers.

Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, still holding onto Xue Lian’s hand. “You guys … what’s going on?”

Everyone, however, looked straight at the hand that he and Xue Lian were holding together. Xue Lian hurriedly broke free and stood to the side.

The six of them struggled to get up from the stretcher. Qin Mubai hurriedly squatted down and said, “Alright, just lie down and don’t get up.”

It was only then that he saw that all seven of them were almost beyond recognition-each of them was skinny, but their faces were covered in frostbite, blue and purple, and there were places where pus had broken out and flowed out.

Pang Fei took a few steps forward and grabbed Qin Mubai’s arm. He couldn’t help but cry loudly on the spot, “Master! If the student sees you again, he will be willing to die!”

“It’s good to be back. It’s good to be back.” Qin Mubai hugged him tightly and patted his back, “Is there only … the six of you left?”

“Yes.” Pang Fei loosened his grip embarrassedly and bowed, “Five hundred of us left the Qinghai Lake and arrived at Golmud Heavenly Lake to complete the explosion mission. There were still thirty-six people left.” Afterwards, we were unable to return on the same road, so we had to wander around the Kunlun Mountains in search of survival. In more than a month, another twenty to thirty brothers had died. “Later, it was General Hou Junji who led his troops to Golmud. After we heard the news, we went to find him. He sent fifty to sixty rescued slaves to escort us back to Dafeichuan. Only today did he come to see our master!”

“Hou Junji?” Qin Mubai’s eyes widened. “He’s heading for Golmud?!”
