Great Qin gave Meng Fang a great deal of face, leading civil and military officials twenty miles out of the city to welcome him.
Flags and banners filled the scene, fluttering in the wind!
"My great minister has returned!"
The Qin Emperor laughed heartily, striding forward like a dragon or tiger, and reached out to support Meng Fang who was about to bow, "General, you have worked hard in the battles!"
"It is my duty."
Meng Fang responded indifferently, "Entrusted by Your Majesty, I led the troops for three years. With Your Majesty's trust and the soldiers' dedication, we have been fortunate enough not to fail our mission and I have come to report back today."
With that, he presented the Dragon Seal Sky Sword.
"Today, I report back!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
The Qin Emperor exclaimed thrice in approval, then laughed heartily and waved his hand as Shi Hongzhen, the chief steward, hurried forward to collect the military tokens and precious sword.
