Chapter 522: Congratulations?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Emperor spoke and casually asked a few more questions about Xie Niushan’s daily life.
Xie Niushan spoke his mind. He would not have bothered to take the credit if he did not put in the effort. In reality, it was no different from the information the Emperor had received earlier.
He was also more satisfied with this bandit general now.
Although he did not come from a good family background, he was a loyal and brave person. He did not like to boast.
He was much better than many ministers who only knew how to talk big.
The Emperor was happy and promoted Xie Niushan.
According to the contributions of Xie Niushan and the barbarian leaders, when they first recruited him, they should have given him the position of a general. However, the Emperor was worried that this person was not honest enough, so he suppressed him.
Now that he found that Xie Niushan was so respectful, he was much happier. “Minister Xie, you have made great contributions and are loyal. I’m very pleased to promote you to a general!”
Xie Niushan was a little confused.
Promoted?
H-How was he loyal?
Xie Niushan was quite confused, but he still kowtowed to express his gratitude.
He knew that his words would offend others, so in front of the Emperor, as long as the other party did not ask, he would not take the initiative to speak. Although the Emperor thought that he was honest, he thought Xie Niushan was rather boring. After rewarding him with praise, he asked him to leave.
Xie Niushan was still a little confused. He looked for the eunuch who was quite respected around the Emperor and asked, “Why did the Emperor promote me?”
“Naturally, it’s because of your loyalty?” The eunuch could not help but admire him.
This Xie Niushan was quite honest, but the things he did were quite sneaky!
He ran all the way out to suppress the bandits, but he actually did not forget to flatter the Emperor!
He had heard that he had to kowtow every time he reached a high place. If they counted, he had kowtowed more than a hundred times!

If he were the Emperor, he would not be able to help but promote this bandit as well!
Xie Niushan thought the eunuch’s smile was strange.
However, a promotion was a good thing.
Although he was a small general earlier, he did not manage many people. The barracks he was in were quite terrible. There were many old, weak, and disabled people. If he went to the battlefield, they would definitely be used as the cannon fodders. However, this front army was different. They would charge forward to defend the capital. They would do important things.
The Emperor was quite polite and gave him such a great position.
Moreover, his rank was promoted. He was now a third-grade general!
If he could have a noble title, that would be even better!
Xie Niushan was elated. The eunuch looked at him and hesitated. He asked, “General Xie, I heard that you… have married three wives. May I ask… which one do you like the most?”
Xie Niushan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the eunuch.
Was there something wrong with this eunuch?
The eunuch was terrified by his stare and quickly smiled. “I’m just asking.”
Xie Niushan thought today was a little strange.
Just like when he entered the city gate, the people around him were quite polite when they looked at him.
Also, before the Emperor saw him, he also saw other officials. Those people actually congratulated him!
It was strange. What was there to congratulate him about? Now, someone was asking him which wife he liked the most…
Could it be…
That Ms. Lu had returned while he was not home?! Or that his own mother had married another wife for him?!
Thinking of that, Xie Niushan panicked.
He ignored the eunuch and walked faster and faster.
At that moment, the Xie family had been waiting for a long time.
Grandfather Lin and Aunt Lin had the most serious expressions on their faces. They did not look like they were to be trifled with.
“Grandfather Lin, if you need a hoe or a saber… just say it. Although he’s my Father, he stole your daughter.. If you want revenge, I won’t stop you,” Xie Qiao said in all seriousness.
