As her figure disappeared the doors to the emperor's study opened. A little eunuch showed way to the great general Xie.
Xie jingshen walked forward and bowed. As a general he had to kneel before the emperor.
But due to his achievements since young he was given the special treatment to over go such formality. Since he had to greet only with a simple bow.
Many envied the young general for the favor he received. But for everything one gain one had to lose. Although Xie jingshen had such influence the emperor was always wary of him. And usually stationed him in the borders.
But now other three countries seem to come Bei Mo's capital the emperor need a figure to show the power of the country to other delegates who would arrive to capital in few months' time.
This fact is what made emperor summon the great general Xie.
Emperor was still in a good mood after meeting his daughter. He looked at the young general in front of him and he felt more elated.
Although he knew about the power of the young general he always respected Xie jingshen. But now all of his sons are fighting for the throne in order to protect the young general he had sent him to the northern borders.
Now he is returned the princes would try to swatch him over to their side. He had protected the general in the young. But this world belongs to the young generation.

Xie jingshen carried a cold expression. He really did what he wanted to do. He never expects any reward form anyone. His self-satisfaction is more than anything.
Looking at the silent figure emperor knew the general will keep feigning ignorance. Emperor knew he never wanted anything. But that doesn't mean he will not reward anything.
He waved his sleeves and eunuch Gao stepped forward.
"The young great general Xie had bought victory to the Bei mo. Reward him precious pearls from the eastern sea, the statue of golden eagle, elephant made of mutton jade, and hundred bolts of cloud silk."
The edict written over. However the entire time the Xie jingshen kept quiet. His eyes still remained cold without any ripples.
Eunuch Gao looked at general Xie with admiration. As expected of the war god of Bei mo. Never lose sight even at the highest place.
As he was about to hand over the edict emperor suddenly said "wait"
