After returning to the capital on Xue Yunrou's Nine Heavens Ten Earths Pimo Divine Shuttle, Li Xuan personally escorted Yu Hongchang to the imperial palace.
Everything was smooth when Li Xuan entered the palace, but when he came out, he found himself surrounded by a large crowd of onlookers, apparently someone had leaked the news.
Many of the onlookers were students from the Guozi Bureau, and numerous in-service court officials, blocking Li Xuan's path. Their faces were flushed with excitement.
"So that's the marquis of Jing'an? He really is heroic!"
"The Marquis of Jing'an has returned to the capital? I heard that he put up a desperate fight at Nankou Pass and repelled the invading Mongolians."
"Incredibly heroic! A true young hero, he indeed inherits the virtues of the first Earl Chengyi."
