Fight the Giants

  Chapter 687 Met Uncle Shi

  Mu Yan brought back the leader of the pirates, Song Jin, and brought back a large amount of property, which caused shock in the court.

   This batch of property worth nearly 20 million taels was filled into the national treasury, which made the Minister of the Household Department almost cry with Mu Yan in his arms.

  He knows best what the current treasury looks like, it is so empty that it can run smoothly. Now fill it with the belongings brought back by Mu Yan. The boxes, big and small, are full of gold and silver inside.

  Shangshu Hubu cried with joy, and Emperor Yongkang almost cried with joy.

   Originally, it was a bit far-fetched for him to seize the throne. The people along the coast were distracted by the pirates and questioned the ability of him and the court.

   As a result, many elite sailors trained by the court died in a big storm.

  Did not announce to the outside world, only reported missing. Emperor Yongkang is so angry.

   "Good! Good! Good!"

  Emperor Yongkang was so happy that Mu Yan had captured more than 200 pirates and returned to the court, not to mention the pirate leader, but also brought back a lot of property.

   "Aiqing won my heart in this campaign! I will reward you a lot!"

  Emperor Yongkang sealed the eight people who were with Mu Yan, together with Li Yikan Er, as officials. Gold and silver were awarded again.

  The boss of the ship and all the sailors on board, including the guards brought by Huo Xi, Tayue Gansan and others rewarded a lot of gold and silver.

  It's Huo Xi's turn...

   "I hope the emperor will do it!" Mu Yan knelt down on the ground.

  Now that Xi'er is returning with him, the capital may know everything soon, and it is impossible to hide it. Only by asking the emperor to issue a marriage decree can Xi'er's reputation not be ruined.

  It is easy to issue a marriage decree, but...

  Emperor Yongkang hesitated: "Can you discuss with the British government? Have you obtained his approval?"

  Emperor Yongkang felt that it was still a good name to give the imperial decree to bestow marriages on his subjects, but if the British Duke disagreed, he was afraid that he would do bad things with good intentions.

  The British Duke is his minister of the humerus, and he cannot offend the British Duke just because of Mu Bin's meritorious service.

  If the British public has a heart, it will be bad.

  Mu Yan gritted her teeth: "Thank you, the emperor, for reminding me that if I can get the British Duke's consent to the marriage, I hope that the emperor can fulfill my wishes."

   "Okay, I have prepared the imperial decree for you, waiting for you to pick it up at any time!"

   "My humble minister thanks the emperor!"

  Mu Yan returned to the Qian State Duke's Mansion. The Cheng family, who had gotten the news a few days earlier, had already been waiting in the mansion to wait and see.

   Seeing him come back, she hugged him and cried bitterly: "My son, mother thought I would never see you again!"

   This is her son, the son she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, she is no aunt!

  Mu Yan hugged her back, patted her back gently, and comforted her.

  Ms. Cheng had cried enough. She looked her son up and down, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her except that she was a little thinner. The tears stopped, and only the joy of her son's return remained.

   Looking back, seeing that his son had made such great contributions, and only got a plate of gold and silver, he was stunned again, "This..."

"The emperor made me his son! He also told me that I did not inherit his title, but the title of my grandfather and stepfather. I hope that I will inherit the will of my grandfather and stepfather in the future, guard the territory for the court, and do a good job. A pillar."

   Mu Yan comforted Qi Cheng.

   "Really, you have become the prince?" Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

  Mu Yan nodded to her with a smile.

  Cheng's tears that had just been wiped away flowed down again, and he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and began to cry again.

  Her son is not easy. Originally, the mother and son did not fight or rob, and never thought of inheriting any title. Yan'er is the eldest son, even if the eldest son is childless, it is impossible for him to adopt the eldest son of the second family, who would have known that the old marquis just took a fancy to him.

   Then the mother and son were forced to separate, and Yan'er has been suffering all kinds of hardships.

  Put him on fire, and he can't get down.

  Even if he says he doesn't want that position now, I'm afraid others won't believe it and think he's in the way.

   "Okay, that's my son's, it's my son's!" Thinking of the emperor's words again, "What does the emperor mean, that you want you to guard the frontier and secure the land, so you want to let you go back to Yunnan?"

   "I don't know yet." Mu Yan shook his head.

   Seeing Cheng's disappointed face, he said in a gentle voice, "Where my son is in the future, you will be there."

  Ms. Cheng, as the clan wife, stayed behind at the ancestral house in the capital, separated from the man and son, and lived like a dry well. She doesn't know what will happen in the future, but her son's promise made her nod happily.

"Thanks to Xi'er this time, even my mother thought you were gone, only she didn't want to give up. Mother has to thank her in person, and also go to ask the Duke of England for marriage." He glanced at his son, afraid that he would have other ideas .

  She really liked this daughter-in-law so much, she wished she could marry her back as soon as possible. I was afraid that my son would change his mind.

  Mu Yan smiled, "You will come to the door after I meet the British Duke first."

   "Okay, then you go to the British Duke quickly!" Urging his son, he couldn't wait for a moment.

  With Mu Yan's return, the whole government of the Duke of Qian knew that the emperor had made Mu Yan the son of the Duke of Qian.

  Mu Xin, Mu Jie, father and son of the fourth room and Mrs. Yan Tai were very happy, and came to congratulate Mu Yan one after another. Mu Yan treats them close, isn't he a better son than Mu Zhan?

   Mrs. Geng was stunned, a little in disbelief.

   Thought Mu Yan had drowned, but he didn't expect not only to be alive, but also to have made great contributions.

  She didn't want him to die. She was also sad to hear the news that he might drown. After all, he was also her grandson. But now seeing that he has returned from meritorious service, he still has to be crowned prince, Mrs. Geng feels inexplicable again.

  Mu Wang was also taken aback.

  One is the eldest brother and the other is the elder brother. Of course, it's better for the elder brother to be the son, from a selfish point of view, after all, the same mother and compatriots.

  Mu Wang locked himself in the room for a long time before walking to Mu Yan's courtyard.

  The two brothers looked at each other, but no one spoke for a long time.

   "Congratulations." Mu Wang finally congratulated.

  Mu Yan looked at this younger brother who had grown up a lot, he had grown up a lot, and seemed to be quite sensible. Nodding lightly: "Thank you."

  Mu Wang pursed his lips, and wanted to turn around and leave, but Mu Yan stopped him, "If you want to go back to Yunnan, I can send someone to take you back."

  Mu Wang was stunned, thought for a while, then shook his head: "I want to stay in the capital."

   "It's up to you." She glanced at him, thought for a while, and asked him, "I heard you want to enter the barracks?"

   Mu Wang's eyes lit up, and he nodded fiercely: "Yes. I'm sixteen years old..."

  He is sixteen years old, and he also wants to make some achievements in the army like his father and grandfather. Now that his father is not in the capital, and there is no one to help him plan, the big brother in front of him...

   A glimmer of hope ignited in Mu Wang's heart.

  Mu Yan took a deep look at him, "Okay, I will arrange it later."

  Mu Wang jumped up and said, "Thank you, brother!"

  Watching him leave briskly, the corners of Mu Yan's mouth raised.

  Huo Xi came back safely, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The entire British government came to see her, and the younger siblings also ran to her yard to chatter around her, Huo Nian stayed by her side, looking at her well. Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi also brought An An to see her.

  Other people say how good she is, but they don't believe it at all, and they have to come and see her in person to feel at ease.

   "If you don't come back, mother will let your father take someone to find you."

  When Zhang Fu heard his daughter came back, he also hurried back from the Yamen, got out of the carriage at the gate of the mansion, and saw Mu Yan waiting there.

  Long body stretched out: "I have seen Uncle Shi."

  Zhang Fu's sense of crisis immediately came up. Good boy, don't you call him British, but Uncle Shi?
