Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 365 - 363: Discussing Merits and Bestowing Rewards
Chapter 365: Chapter 363: Discussing Merits and Bestowing Rewards
Blushing fiercely at Lin Yi’s teasing, Qiqi felt compelled to drink the milk tea he kindly prepared for her.
And thus, with a mock-angry gulp, she downed the drink, her cheeks reddening even further.
After their playful exchange, the carriage had clearly reached the outskirts of the Nanshan Base.
The Nanshan Base was now different from before.
It had been only a few days since their departure, but the base was changing daily without exaggeration.
At present, a towering city gate had been constructed at the mouth of the mountain, signifying the entrance to the base.
Even from afar, it appeared as grand as a great city fortress.
Although it could not compare to the Capital City, it was much more lavish than an ordinary city.
The walls outside were all inlaid with incredibly smooth marble.
In a word, the walls looked majestic, towering, and luxurious.
Right in the middle of the wall, the bold red characters "Nanshan City" stood out prominently.
Indeed, it was Nanshan City.
At this moment, the scale here was not much smaller than any other external city.
While not as large as the Capital City, nor as populous, it still boasted an initial planned population of tens of thousands.
More importantly, the area here was very spacious.
Not to mention anything else, the land area within this valley alone was much larger than that of the Capital City.
Moreover, the towering mountains behind continued unbroken, all within the confines of Nanshan City.
As for whether the name "Nanshan City" might be taboo or offend various factions?
Ha, there was no need to worry about that.
After all, this was Nanshan Guards territory, labeled with the name of the Great You Research Institute!
It was well known that it was a force belonging to His Majesty himself.
Therefore, it didn’t matter if the place carried the name Nanshan City, even if it bore the name Imperial City, there would be no issues or dissenting words.
At this moment, as Lin Yi’s carriage approached, a group of Soldiers stepped forward.
This was one of Lin Yi’s rules: every carriage arriving here had to be inspected.
Of course, as soon as Lin Yi showed his face, they would immediately back off.
After all, Lin Yi’s presence was the most effective; he was the highest-ranking commander here, and his status was unrivaled.
Tens of thousands of refugees, each one indebted to Lin Yi’s grace, each one pulled by him from a pile of corpses.
To them, Lin Yi was like their reborn parents, and every sighting filled them with deep gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.
Moreover, Lin Yi carried no airs when interacting with them and was particularly approachable with the children, who weren’t scared of him and would play around him incessantly.
From time to time, Lin Yi would even pick up a child and playfully tease them.
Such scenes were unique across the cities of You Country.
Where else could one find a city master with such deep affection for his people?
However, all that was secondary. Let’s return to the matter at hand, as Lin Yi entered the military camp within Nanshan City, the Nanshan Guards.
There, the Soldiers charged with various tasks had already returned.
When Lin Yi caught sight of this orderly troop again, he noticed an explicit difference in them.
The troop was more spirited and exuded a stronger presence than before.
In each of their eyes was a glint of fearlessness towards life and death.
Especially the squad responsible for pursuing those Hu people now had fully vanished any hint of childishness, transformed by an unforgettable and life-altering battle.
Facing such a troop, seeing 3,000 Soldiers stand in utter silence, Lin Yi was exceptionally pleased and nodded approvingly.
"Very good! This time, your performance has greatly satisfied this General,
and it was within my expectations.
This proves that the sweat you’ve shed in your daily training has not been in vain!
The great victory achieved this time has been a relief for our entire You Country!
His Majesty is extremely satisfied with you.
Hence, His Majesty has sent a reward, one hundred taels of Silver each!
How does that sound? Are you pleased?"
Upon the conclusion of these words, a loud cheer spontaneously erupted from below:
"Pleased! Pleased! Pleased!"
Even with 3,000 Soldiers present, their two-syllable reply was crystal clear, devoid of any confusion.
This clarity was evidence of their well-disciplined training.
Watching over such a force, Lin Yi’s sense of pride swelled.
Then he saw Lin Yi wave his hand grandly, at which point chests of Silver were carried forth.
As the chests of Silver were set before everyone’s eyes, none of the Soldiers looked towards them, instead continuing to stare straight ahead, focusing on Lin Yi.
This scene left Qiqi flabbergasted at her side.
At the same time, she was inwardly astonished, for such a troop was indeed rare in the nation.
It seemed impossible to find a second force like this throughout You Country, no wonder they were victorious in battle!
She could hardly believe that such a powerful troop was trained by Brother Lin Yi.
In a moment, her heart filled with a sense of pride.
When she looked back at Lin Yi’s figure, a feeling of adoration was added to that pride.
Pleased with the Soldiers’ unwavering attention, Lin Yi once again waved his hand:
"Listen up, men of Nanshan, squad leaders come forth to receive the reward Silver. After receiving it, you have a day off to rest; you’re free to do as you please."
As these words fell, a wave of excited cheers erupted from the crowd.
They truly didn’t see this coming.
Since joining the Nanshan Guards, they hadn’t had a moment of rest.
They hadn’t been home since arriving at Nanshan.
After all, as Lin Yi had put it, they’ve been through what’s called Devil Month.
...End of Chapter...
