…
Under the moonlight, two figures were sitting on the stone bench. The soft and white moonlight fell on the two figures, and little bits of light flickered.
After eating, drinking, and putting on a set of clean clothes, Fang Zhengzheng actually wanted to do one more thing, and that was to have a good night's sleep, just like Pingyang, who ate and drank before falling asleep.
but…
He still sat down with Chi Guyan.
There was no special reason, maybe because Chi Guyan said she would leave at dawn, maybe because Fang Zhengzheng felt that this girl was determined to save him.
So, before leaving, let's listen to the roars of beasts and birds singing in our ears, eat some fruits and desserts, and enjoy the bright moon in the sky surrounded by hundreds of thousands of magic soldiers. What's the harm
After all, I had no intention of admiring the moon last night.
He leaned his body slightly back on the stone bench, put his feet on the stone table in front of him, took a bite of fresh fruits in his hand, and his mouth was full of sweetness.
Sure enough, after the war, it's time to enjoy it as much as you want.
"What are your plans after returning to Beijing?" Chi Guyan looked at Fang Zhengyi, who looked lazy, and there was not much surprise on his beautiful face.
"Go back to Beishan Village first." Fang Zhengzheng withdrew his gaze and glanced at Chi Guyan.
Now Chi Guyan has put on a blue dress, with a white peony embroidered on her chest, and a snow-white fluffy belt tied around her waist, which fully shows off her exquisite figure.
I have to admit that Chi Guyan does have an amazing temperament, especially those eyes, which are so bright that it makes people's hearts tremble.
Unfortunately, he is just too arrogant.
"Then what?" Chi Guyan continued to ask.
"Build a big house."
"anything else?"
"Marry... uh, find a hundred maids."
"a hundred?"
"right."
"A hundred, is it really enough?"
"Ahem... That's almost it. Any more will cost too much."
"Yeah, that's right." Chi Guyan nodded and said nothing more.
Fang Zhengzheng also didn't speak again and continued to eat the fruit in his hand, but the taste seemed to be a little worse.
The night is a bit cold.
As winter approaches, the temperature difference between morning and evening in the southern region is still a bit large, which makes the stone bench a little cold. However, for Fang Zhengyi, the impact is not too great.
I don’t know how long it took.
Chi Guyan finally spoke again.
"After returning to Yanjing City, the Holy Emperor will probably order you to take charge of the Ceremony Department. What... do you think of this matter?"
"Then take over." Fang Zhengzheng replied casually.
"The selection for Tiandao Pavilion will begin in a month. Will you participate?" Chi Guyan's voice still sounded calm, but there seemed to be some expectation in his eyes.
Fang Zhengzheng said nothing.
Of course he knew what Chi Guyan was looking for today, and he also knew that the recruitment of Tiandao Pavilion was an agreement he and Chi Guyan made when they were in Beishan Village.
But, now he...
Can I really still participate in the Tiandao Pavilion selection
Time passed by minute by minute.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
Fang Zhengzheng raised his head again, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and closed his eyes slightly.
Chi Guyan also didn't ask any more questions. She just sat quietly on the stone bench, the stars in her bright eyes gradually rising, one o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock...
It seemed to be a peaceful night.
And not far away, there was a calm figure.
Wearing a black animal skin jacket, he showed off this figure's perfect figure, and his wheat-colored skin showed a faint brilliance.
His dark eyes just looked at the two figures in the moonlight quietly.
"Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince and the Chief are waiting for you." A voice rang at this time. The voice was small, but extremely respectful.
"I know, what's going on with the demons?"
"Not yet."
"Okay, pass on this princess's order. All members of the Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry will join the guard. Remember not to slack off in any way. Anyone who disobeys the order will be dealt with according to military law!"
"Yes!" The voice immediately accepted the order and retreated.
The remaining figures also glanced at the two figures under the moonlight again, with a faint brilliance shining in their dark eyes, but they soon left.
…
In the early morning, Chi Guyan left, taking away Pingyang who was extremely unwilling.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers are still stationed outside the Iron Qiu tribe, arranging troops and practicing martial arts. However, they have not invaded the Iron Qiu tribe in large numbers again.
Fang Zhengzheng would sit on the city wall when he had free time.
Because, in front of the demon soldiers' camp, there will always be a figure standing there, wearing a long white dress, flying in the wind.
Three days later, hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers retreated.
At this point, the Battle of the Southern Territory officially ended.
As the commander-in-chief of the Battle of the Southern Territory, Xing Yuanguo naturally rushed back to Yanjing City to deliver the holy orders after the Battle of the Southern Territory. Xing Qing followed, the Dragon Guards, the Poshan Army and one hundred thousand Daxia sergeants also followed Xing Yuan. The country moved back to the dynasty in a mighty manner.
but…
Prince Lin Tianrong did not return to Beijing immediately.
In addition to Prince Lin Tianrong, all the talented people who participated in the palace examination also stayed to represent Daxia at the celebration banquet in the Southern Territory.
As a result of the Battle of the Southern Territory.
Fang Zhengzheng naturally stayed and followed the soldiers from the Southern Territory to the Holy Mountain City, enjoying the welcome ceremony that was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
At this moment, Yanjing City was also celebrating.
The battle report from the Southern Territory has been delivered to Yanjing City by flying letter. Such news will undoubtedly shock the entire court and make the entire Yanjing City boil.
"Have you heard? Fang Zhengzheng is fighting against Shengdu in the Southern Territory!"
"Of course I heard about it. I guess when he returns to Beijing this time, he will be crowned king and prime minister, right?"
"Unfortunately, I heard that Fang Zhengzheng is dead."
"So what? With such merit alone, how can the court not treat me kindly? This is bringing glory to the country, let alone being disabled, even if it is disabled, it is still worth it!"
All kinds of discussions echoed in the alleys of Yanjing City, but when it came to the Southern Territory, Fang Zhengzheng was mentioned.
…
In the Imperial Palace, in the Jinluan Hall.
Civil and military officials stood on both sides, and on the huge dragon chair, the Holy Lord Lin Mubai, who was dressed in a golden dragon robe, had a rare smile on his face.
This battle can be described as extremely difficult.
But the result…
But it went more smoothly than expected. Although one hundred thousand Daxia soldiers suffered some losses, the turmoil in the southern region was temporarily calmed down. Although it was only temporary, it was enough to satisfy the Holy Lord Lin Mubai.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince presided over the battle in the Southern Territory this time and made great achievements. Now he is negotiating with the Southern Territory on behalf of His Majesty the contract of mutual relations between the states. I am here to announce that I am the Crown Prince..."
"When will the executioner return to the capital?" The Holy Lord Lin Mubai did not wait for the courtiers below to finish playing, then waved his hand and interrupted.
"Your Majesty, the detective report said that Xinghou has left the southern region and is expected to return to the capital within five days to die." Another courtier stood up and glanced at the embarrassed minister next to him, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. .
Prince
Isn't it too hasty
Yes, the battle in the Southern Territory was indeed won this time. The prince presided over the martial arts test of the palace examination, and naturally had some credit, but compared with those who really made meritorious deeds...
But it's a million miles away.
"Okay, let's pass on the decree so that the criminals don't have to rush too much and put their health first. In addition, the counties in the city are ordered to hold banquets along the way to reward the three armies." The Holy Lord Lin Mubai nodded.
"According to the order!"
"By the way, is Fang Zhengzheng still in the Southern Territory now?" The Holy Lord Lin Mubai thought for a while, seemed to have thought of something again, and continued to ask.
"Back to the Emperor, Fang Zhengzheng is attending the celebration banquet in the Southern Territory with the Crown Prince. It is estimated that he will stay in the Southern Territory for about seven days. Then he and the Crown Prince will..." The courtier who stood up immediately replied.
When the other courtiers heard this, they all looked at each other. Of course they knew the meaning of the three words "Fang Zhengzheng" mentioned by the Holy One.
Put Fang Zhengzheng's affairs under the penalty waiting list...
This level of attention is far beyond what a fourth-grade courtier can enjoy.
However, none of the courtiers raised any objection, because they all knew that in the next few days, a young man would appear in the court.
A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old.
And the words of this young man will become words that all courtiers must listen to and think about seriously, because this young man is the one who contributed to the battle in the Southern Territory.
Across the sea, fighting against the setting sun alone.
This achievement alone is enough to make his name resound throughout the Great Xia Dynasty.
Even though he is no longer known as a genius.
"Okay, let's pass on the decree. Fang Zhengzheng will be granted the title of Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he will receive a temporary salary of the third grade. In addition, in the name of the Ministry of Rites, he will assist the prince in negotiating contracts with the Southern Territory." Holy Emperor Lin Mubai looked at the following The civil and military officials issued another decree.
"According to the decree!" the courtiers responded immediately.
No courtier dared to mention the possibility of Fang Zhengzheng being crippled at this time. Even Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping was closing his eyes to rest at this moment, with a calm look on his face.
Because they all heard the word "temporary".
Temporarily receive the third-grade salary
Before they even returned to the capital, they had already jumped two levels from the fourth rank. It was not difficult for them to imagine what kind of rewards Fang Zhengzheng would receive after he returned to the capital.
…
The city of Holy Mountain is very lively.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, countless girls wearing various rattan clothes danced on both sides of the road, and beside the girls, there were also burning bonfires.
One by one, the mountain beasts were roasted on the bonfire, and the rich aroma of meat wafted in the air.
This is the etiquette for welcoming warriors in the Southern Region. Each bonfire represents a tribe. Girls burn meat on the bonfire and dance beside it, waiting for the returning warriors.
When warriors pass by the bonfire of their tribe, they can stop and enjoy food and wine.
Of course…
If they want, they can have some communication with any of the girls dancing around the campfire, and if they can get the girl's nod, the communication can go deeper.
Southern Territory, the land of warriors.
It is also a place of cultural openness.
Countless returning warriors stopped and merged into this sea of joy, sipping wine and biting pieces of meat.
And at the top of the Holy Mountain City.
In the white royal city, the scene became more and more lively.
Various bright animal skins are arranged on the walls of the royal city. In addition, there are also various colored gems and patterns woven from bright rattan dyed red with animal blood.
Different graphics also have different meanings.
This is an honor.
It is also a kind of belief.
Belongs to the beliefs of the major tribes in the Southern Region.
The larger the figures, the more exquisite and gorgeous the arrangement, and the larger the space they occupy. The six largest figures are located across the main entrance of the royal city.
Among the six figures, there is also a golden figure.
A figure belonging to the royal family of the Southern Region.
In the palace of the royal city, the king of the Southern Territory, who was dressed in exquisite animal skins and had a tall figure, sat side by side with the prince Lin Tianrong, who was dressed in silver-white court clothes.
Below the two of them, there were Crown Prince Shan Ling and Princess Shan Yu. In addition, there were also the chiefs of the major tribes in the Southern Region, and the talented men of Great Xia wearing brocade clothes.
"Drink!" The Southern Territory King raised his glass.
"Drink!" The chiefs below stood up immediately.
The talented men in Daxia also raised their glasses and stood with their faces slightly red, because the wine in the Southern Region was much stronger than the wine in Daxia.
However, how could they be willing to be at a disadvantage in their ability to drink.
then…
Everyone stretched their necks and downed the glasses of strong liquor.
As wine rises, so does poetry. Reciting poems, composing poems, and writing pictures are naturally indispensable.
The talented people of Daxia were very good at writing and writing.
The chiefs and generals of the Southern Territory naturally used martial arts to make friends, so the sound of the piano, the flute, and the music of the Southern Territory mixed together to create a lively scene.
Fang Zhengzheng actually has no interest in drinking wine.
However, he couldn't help but the light on his body was so strong now that even the King of the Southern Region and Prince Lin Tianrong came over to raise their glasses one by one.
Next, there are the chiefs, minor chiefs, major generals, minor generals of various tribes in the Southern Region...
Fang Zhengzheng had always been an outlier at banquets, but today he was obviously different from usual, and all eyes were focused on him.
No one can compare poems with Fang Zhengzheng.
After reciting poems, all the talented people in Daxia would immediately turn their eyes to Fang Zhengzheng, looking at him with a look that was almost flattering and expectant.
"Please give me your review, Mr. Fang!"
"Okay!" Fang Zhengzheng replied casually.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang!" Upon hearing this, the talented man immediately smiled and saluted. Then, he turned his eyes to one side and asked other talented men for their comments.
Watch this scene.
Fang Zhengzheng was somewhat helpless.
It turns out that being too popular is not a good thing, but in this way, can I start accepting some bribes
After I returned to Yanjing City, I was granted a title, a fiefdom, and a hundred maids. If I were really as honest as a mirror, I would not accept any gifts at all...
Not too bad, right
Thinking of this, Fang Zhengzheng's lips subconsciously revealed a smile, but as he drank too much, his stamina increased.
After several rounds of toasts, my head felt a little dizzy.
At this time, the King of the South Territory stood up again, his face a little rosy, and he looked around with tiger eyes, scanning the talented people below.
"The culture of Daxia is indeed profound and profound. I admire it very much! It's a pity that I am old, so the study of Daxia culture can only be left to the next generation."
"King of the Southern Territory, you are in your prime, how can you talk about being old?" After hearing this, Prince Lin Tianrong also stood up and replied with a slight smile.
"Hahaha... I am old. I have to accept this. However, it doesn't matter that I am old. Just treat it as handing over the burden of the Southern Territory in advance." The King of the Southern Territory also laughed.
When Prince Lin Tianrong heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Prince Shan Ling below, with a soft light flashing in his eyes.
However, it soon returned to normal.
"I think that with the current state of the Southern Territory King, it will not be a problem to control the Southern Territory for another ten years!" Prince Lin Tianrong said again.
"Ten years? Hahaha... His Highness the Crown Prince is joking. I know my body well. Let alone ten years, I can't survive even one year. However, there is always something on my mind that I can't let go of." The King of the Southern Territory He waved his hands, and when he finished speaking, a sad look appeared on his face.
"What's on your mind, the King of the Southern Territory?"
"When it comes to matters of concern, I have to ask His Highness the Crown Prince for help." The King of the Southern Territory continued.
"The King of the Southern Territory is very polite. If I am lucky enough to be able to help, I will do my best and never delay!" Prince Lin Tianrong narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Hahaha... Okay, then I will help my little girl Shan Yu in advance and thank His Highness the Crown Prince!" Hearing this, the King of the Southern Territory also laughed again.
"Princess?" Prince Lin Tianrong seemed slightly surprised.
"Yes, this king's daughter has been spoiled since she was a child. She doesn't like any of the warriors in the Southern Territory. I feel worried about this. However, fortunately, my daughter is very fond of you talented people in Daxia..." The King of the Southern Territory said this. , his eyes also subconsciously fell on Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zheng felt a little dizzy.
However, that does not affect his judgment.
Seeing the "weird" look in the South Territory King's eyes, he was suddenly startled: "Damn it, does the South Territory King want me to be his consort?"
So…
Should I reject it or accept it
Just as he was thinking this, Fang Zhengzheng also noticed another look coming over him. It was a figure wearing a gorgeous animal skin.
There was a faint light flickering in a pair of black eyes.
In addition, this figure also has a heart-stirring wildness, wheat-colored skin, and slender and straight legs.
Princess Shan Yu.
This is a woman that all men would want to conquer.
As the saying goes, to be happy in life, you need to have all the fun, but Fang Zhengzheng didn't expect that this kind of "happiness" would come so quickly, and it would be so violent.
Forget being treated as a distinguished guest at a banquet.
Actually, he still wants to be proposed? Moreover, it was the King of the Southern Territory who proposed marriage to the Crown Prince
Under normal circumstances, wouldn’t the man propose marriage
Thus…
Have you saved the gift money
Princess Shan Yu, how should I put it, is also a dignified princess, right? In terms of status, she should be able to take advantage of her, and she is much better than ordinary women.
The most important thing is that this girl is very capable!
So, should I marry this girl and then have sex? Fang Zhengzheng looked at the King of the South Territory and Princess Shan Yu who were looking at him, and couldn't help but fell into deep contemplation.
