Chapter 780: Entering the capital, stepping on the emperors face
The next day, as he said, Xiao Tianyao returned to the capital with the loot.
Of course, it was impossible to bring more than 200,000 Jinwuwei troops into the capital. Xiao Tianyao only brought a few deputy generals and 3,000 soldiers with the spoils of war.
These three thousand people have made great contributions to this war. It was more appropriate for them to escort the loot into the capital.
In the capital, officials from the Ministry of Rites have long been ready for the reception. They just wait for Xiao Tianyao to lead troops into the capital.
On the same day, the street from the city gate to the imperial palace was closed. Ordinary people were not allowed in and out. Early the next morning, the crown prince was ordered to lead the officials of the Ministry of Rites to wait for Xiao Tianyao to enter the city gate.
At this moment, Xiao Tianyao’s soldiers and horses appeared at the gate of the city. When the crown prince saw them from a distance, he stepped out of the city first, dismounted, and greeted them personally to show respect.
When Xiao Tianyao and his party came near, the war drum sounded. The whole street was solemn. Although there were people on both sides watching the excitement, no one dared to say anything. They all opened their mouths wide, looked in the direction of the city gate, and waited for Xiao Tianyao to come in.
“Congratulations on your triumphant return, Imperial Uncle. Imperial Uncle has worked hard all the way, and Imperial father, the emperor, is waiting for you in the palace.” The crown prince didn’t dare to slack off and saluted respectfully.
“The crown prince is polite.” Xiao Tianyao didn’t dismount and nodded condescendingly to the crown prince, completely ignoring him.
It would be a lie to say that the crown prince was not angry. However, when the crown prince looked at Xiao Tianyao and the army behind him, he shrank his neck.
Although there were only 3,000 people, the momentum of these 3,000 people was no weaker than the 30,000 troops. He dare not challenge Xiao Tianyao.
“It’s not too early, Imperial Uncle
 let’s go to the city.” He doesn’t dare to argue with Xiao Tianyao, so he changed the topic, so as not to continue to humiliate himself outside.
“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao answered and rode forward, regardless of whether the crown prince had mounted his horse or not.
When Xiao Tianyao moved, the people behind him naturally moved. The crown prince was startled and had to make way to avoid being kicked to death by the horse, which was not only for Xiao Tianyao.
Xiao Tianyao doesn’t give the crown prince a face, and the deputy generals behind him will not take the crown prince seriously. they followed behind Xiao Tianyao one by one and pushed the crown prince aside.
The crown prince was so angry that his face turned green, but he didn’t dare to attack.
Although the horse was moving forward at a slow speed, it still raised a layer of dust. After a while, the crown prince’s bright clothes were full of dust, and looked very embarrassed.
Fortunately, the people who served on the side were smart. They rushed forward to dust off the crown prince and then brought a horse to help the crown prince mount his horse.
The crown prince did a little tidying up. Although he doesn’t look clean as before, he was not in a mess at all. Seeing Xiao Tianyao and his party enter the city, the crown prince didn’t dare to delay and rushed to the front.
The official of the Ministry of Rites behind him sighed secretly and followed behind in a hurry.
Originally, the crown prince should lead all the officials to greet Xiao Tianyao at the city’s gate, but the emperor canceled the meeting because Xiao Tianyao came back in a hurry. The officials of the Ministry of Rites didn’t make proper arrangements. So only some officials went to the city’s gate, while the others waited at the palace’s gate.
There was nothing wrong with the emperor doing this, but
 

The current situation was not favorable to the emperor. It was petty for the emperor to do this.
Xiao Tianyao has an extraordinary position in the hearts of the people of the Eastern Country. He not only won the war this time, but he also made the Northern Army helpless. The people of the east can be said to be elated. As soon as Xiao Tianyao entered the city, they shouted: “Congratulations on the triumphant return of the prince, may the prince live for a thousand years.”
“The prince is back, the prince is back after winning the battle!”
“The prince is the God of War of East, the prince is invincible.”
“God of war, God of war!”
In the, all the shouting became only three words: “God of War!”
“God of war, God of war!”
*
The sound was getting higher and higher, and the momentum became stronger and stronger. No one leads or maintains the process. Their voices were all from the hearts of the people. This was the support and worship of the citizen.
“God of war, God of war!”
Even though Xiao Tianyao passed by, the cheers still did not fade. Facing the cold Jinwuwei Army, the people around were afraid of their momentum, but none of them was afraid.
In their eyes, Prince Xiao was their patron saint. As long as Prince Xiao was here, the people in Eastern Country don’t have to worry. They were afraid of the blood and murderous spirit of the Jinwuwei Army, but they were also excited.
Because they know that the murderous spirit of Jinwuwei will not point at them.
Of course, the shops on both sides of the street were full of thousands of young ladies who come out to see the bustle, but those young ladies dare not look at Xiao Tianyao directly, dare not face the Jinwuwei Army, nor dare throw flowers at Xiao Tianyao.
Along the way, except for the word “God of war”, others shouting on the street could not be heard.
Along the way, everyone’s eyes were on the Jinwuwei Army. Even the imperial guards on both sides were also full of admiration. They can’t wait to meet the Jinwuwei Army.
As for Xiao Tianyao?
Maybe he was too powerful, or too dazzling. No one dares to look at him, not even peep, let alone look straight at him.
“As soon as I saw the shadow of Prince Xiao, my heart was beating wildly. I didn’t dare to look at him at all.” In the tavern, a bold young lady stretched out her head and looked towards at Xiao Tianyao, even though his figure could not be seen completely.
“Prince Xiao is so terrible. How dare you look? I don’t even dare to look.”
“I heard that both the Left Prime Minister and Right Prime Minister are afraid of him. I thought it was exaggerated, but now I believe the rumor. Prince Xiao is frightening.”
“At first, I envy Princess Xiao, but now I sympathize with her. Even though I’m far from him, I’m scared to see Prince Xiao. My legs become soft. If I face Prince Xiao every day, how can I live?”
Heroes were loved by everyone, but the premised was the heroes must also love them back. A hero like Prince Xiao can only be admired from afar.
“You are right to say that. I didn’t dare to look at Prince Xiao. I just glanced at his back secretly, and then shrank back. I would be scared to death if I faced Prince Xiao every day.”
“Not only Prince Xiao, but also the soldiers that Prince Xiao brought in were heroic. Even the old soldiers around my grandpa’s age were not as powerful as them. If they stared at me, I’m afraid my legs will become soft.”
This was a private discussion of several young ladies gathered together, but those young masters and scholars were different. They were more concerned about how strict Prince Xiao was in governing the army, how strong he was, and how powerful his soldiers were.
“If I can enter the Jinwuwei Army, my parents will be happy to death.”
“The Jinwuwei Army is better than others. Look at the imperial guards on both sides. They can’t match the Jinwuwei Army even if they are well-dressed and their armor is polished. Standing beside the Jinwuwei Army, they are like grass standing beside a big tree, which is not noticeable at all.”
“It’s true that they are too weak. Look at the Jinwuwei Army brought by Prince Xiao. They are the real men. Those imperial guards are the soft-footed shrimp. They are not fit to carry shoes for the Jinwuwei Army.”
When young people get together, they will say something hot and bloodthirsty. Everyone tries not to say things that shouldn’t be said, but not saying it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
The Jinwuwei Army suppressed the imperial guards so hard that they didn’t even dare to breathe. It can be said that they trampled on the emperor’s face. However, the emperor can only be happy
