Chongzhen looked at the secret report in his hand and slowly stretched out his frown. Then he stood up from the chair, kept pace in the warm pavilion, and murmured in a low voice: "A small family, with only more than ten people, won the eighth level of Zhenyi. He is so loyal, tiger general, tiger general!"

"Company Cao, please take the Jinyiwei's good hand and escort this tiger general to the capital. I want to personally meet my loyal tiger general in the Ming Dynasty!" Chongzhen said loudly to Cao Huachun.

After Cao Huachun bowed and took the order, he left the warm pavilion and walked quickly outside the palace~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the second day of March, the Qing army left the frontier from Qingshankou, and the army of more than 100,000 tiger and wolf safely returned to Liaodong. The Qing army's expedition lasted for more than 2,000 miles, defeated the Ming army's 57 formations, captured more than 50 prefectures and counties and Shandong provincial capitals, killed two governors of the Ming Dynasty and more than 100 civil and military officials at all levels, captured populations, more than 460,000 livestock, including one prince and one county prince, plundered nearly one million taels of silver, and countless other goods.

On the third day of March, Zhao Hai and his fourteen people rushed into the capital with a long convoy, carrying Jiannu's head high with bamboo poles. The soldiers from the Five Military Camp had already been placed on both sides of the street, and the streets were filled with onlookers. With the appearance of Zhao Hai and his group, the high-rise Jiannu heads ushered in cheers~~~

From morning to evening, Zhao Hai and his fourteen people even marching on the streets in addition to eating and resting. The entire capital cheered all day. After returning to Yongdingmen Wucheng, Cao Huachun and officials from the Ministry of Rites arrived.

After Zhao Hai took a quick shower and changed his clothes, he followed the group of people to the palace with a nervous mood. Zhao Hai listened carefully to the explanation of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and Cao Huachun walked aside with a spring breeze on his face~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~

Bypassing the high walls, Zhao Hai came to the outside of the Xihun Pavilion with dizziness. A layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped it over. He heard the sharp voice of the inner supervisor: "Director Xuan Zhao Qianhu, Cao Huachun meets you!"

Zhao Hai felt nervous again, lowered his head and followed Cao Huachun to the warm pavilion. When he saw a pair of yellow boots, he knelt on the ground with Cao Huachun and said loudly: "I, the deputy of Weihai Guard of Denglai, Zhao Hai, was ordered to serve the king and pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Chongzhen looked at Zhao Hai under the imperial case, and after a while, he said, "Your dear, raise your head."

Zhao Hai stood up nervously, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and a young and beautiful face appeared in front of him. Chongzhen was slightly surprised, which was very different from the image of a powerful general in his heart.

"Zhao Aiqing is flat and is given a seat." Chongzhen said slowly. The inner supervisor who was serving him brought a Xiudun over. Zhao Hai kowtowed again and thanked him, and slowly sat down.

"Zhao Aiqing works hard for the king for thousands of miles, and has made great contributions." Chongzhen said with a smile.

"I dare not express my merits. The Eastern Barbarians broke through the pass and entered. The ministers should serve the king at night and be loyal to the king and father! Even if they are swords and seas of fire, they will go there calmly!" Zhao Hai stood up again and bowed to the ground.

A ripple appeared in Chongzhen's heart and he said gently: "Get up and reply!"

After Zhao Hai thanked him, he sat down slowly again.

"How did the Qing family plan to kill eight Jiannu this time?" Chongzhen asked gently.

"Return to your Majesty, after the death of my father in January of the tenth year of Chongzhen, in February, I recruited ten servants from the only nine families left in Dunbao, took out the wealth of the family, and began to train their bows and horses day and night. In early August of the 12th year of Chongzhen, I brought ten servants and three grooms in the fort, and started to march and train together."
