Chapter 12: Night Meeting Ji Chigen
The sudden return of Shen Yuan, the imperial hero who was widely recognized as dead, is a great event.
Not to mention the conspicuous "Void Sacrifice Immortal" on the True Immortal Scroll.
Half a day passed, and the entire Chijing City fell into a jubilant atmosphere, and even the festive red silk was hung in front of the Emperor's Ming Palace.
If the ordinary people just felt that Shen Yuan's return had given them a glimmer of hope, then the magnates and supernatural people of the Red Empire were obviously thinking more.
Shen Yuan had just returned today, and at half past seven in the evening, he immediately held a wedding with Cheng Ruan, a noble daughter of the northern tribe, in Chijing City, which obviously could not be explained by simple lovesickness. There must be a deeper quest in it.
Some time ago, the northern tribe and the dark department, that is, the Black Dragon City, rarely moved, and people couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh Jiang Lang was finally overwhelmed, and Cheng Ruan and Yu Qinglan, the mother and daughter, were finally powerless in the face of huge pressure.
However, everything that is happening today seems to reveal a fact.
Are the Northern Clans and Black Dragon City finally coming back to the limelight?
Especially the well-informed people, they all knew the scene that happened in front of Jijia Village, and they couldn't help but be surprised by Shen Yuan's strength now.
Ninety percent of the magnates and heads of Chijing City gathered at the wedding site, and the four secret places came together, and more than 50 people from the Ji family came to congratulate.
In the end, the presence of His Majesty Ji Chigen pushed the atmosphere of the whole wedding to the climax.
The young emperor just stopped at the wedding scene, toasted a couple of two glasses of imperial wine, and said some scene words, nothing more than greasy words such as welcome and congratulations, and also gave a pair of priceless jade Ruyi.
After that, Ji Chigen squeezed the corner of his eyes at Shen Yuan, and Shi Shiran left.
Although it only took half a day, the wedding did not seem rushed.
Shen Yuan was a little nervous, he had experienced a lot of ups and downs, and his face was flushed when he kissed Cheng Ruan in public.
The wedding didn't last long, the guests dispersed, and Shen Yuan and Cheng Ruan returned to her residence in Chijing City.
In front of the exquisite villa, there stood a tall young man.
He was dressed in a red imperial robe, with nine five-clawed golden dragons embroidered with gold thread, and his hair was tied by a golden crown, and his own aura flowed from him.
Feeling the breath of Shen Yuan and Cheng Ruan, the man turned around, smiled wryly and said, "I came to make amends to the two of you on behalf of the Ji family." As the so-called gentleman does not win people's love, those things are not my will, but the elders in the family insist on doing so, and I can't refuse it. ”
Cheng Ruan snorted coldly, glared at Ji Chigen and scolded: "You are all emperors, why are you still at the mercy of those old guys? You see that when Ji Zha was in power, who in your family dared to force him to marry a woman he didn't like? They all came up with bad ideas, but you carried most of the pot, which is really infuriating and funny." If I do get married, the first thing I will do is to get those old guys out into retreat. ”
Ji Chigen knew that he was at a loss, so he could only laugh embarrassedly, and finally revealed the matter.
"Shen Yuan, where have you been in the past six months? If you had been here, we might not have been so passive. ”
Shen Yuan responded with a smile, and the conversation was picked up by Cheng Ruan again.
"Don't talk about those useless, Shen Yuan is back now, and the dark ministry can no longer be controlled by others as before, and return the absolute autonomy to the dark department. ”
Ji Chigen sighed bitterly and said, "This matter ...... I'm afraid it's hard to coordinate within White Dragon City......"
"I'll coordinate, all you need is your nod then. Cheng Ruan sneered, if it weren't for her previous unjustifiable name, where would she let White Dragon City take Black Dragon City so well?
Ji Chigen sighed, but had to nod.
Not to mention anything else, Shen Yuan's great feats in the Battle of the Falling Stars, how to commend and reward have not yet been implemented, but Black Dragon City has become what it is now. This is a real weakening and punishment for Shen Yuan, and it is very reasonable for Shen Yuan to come back.
"Actually...... The empire is forming a new expeditionary team, why not let Shen Yuan come to serve in the council? Whether it is identity, status, or power, it is not inferior to the dark department, and there is also the support of the entire Red Empire behind it, wouldn't it be beautiful to enter the system of the twelve dragon kings in the future? Why conflict with White Dragon City like this......"
Cheng Ruan shook his head and teased: "I'm afraid what you wanted to say at the beginning was to let Shen Yuan become a marshal, but later you felt that it was inappropriate, so you changed it to a parliament?"
Ji Chigen was poked in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he laughed twice and didn't know what to say.
What they are discussing now is the issue of Shen Yuan's reward, who has just escaped from one war, but has been rewarded into another war and charged into battle, no matter how you look at it, it is a big hole. Ji Chigen also realized this problem, so he temporarily changed his words and wanted Shen Yuan to enter the parliament as a civil servant.
But everyone knew that with Shen Yuan's strength and character, as well as the role he played in the entire Twin Realms Rebellion, it was impossible to sit in Chijing City and watch.
"The matter of reward, let's give some places in the dark and northern tribes in the court. My requirements are not too high, and it is easy for the empire to let the two families share a power similar to that of the four secret lands. For the two of us, it was quite full. ”
Ji Chigen frowned and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible, but the four secret lands have some opinions on this, and they still need to be slowly figured out." ”
Cheng Ruan nodded, "It's good to complete it within ten years." ”
Ji Chigen's expression was relieved, "It should be no problem." ”
"One last thing, I want Yulong Academy, and I want Shen Yuan to be the dean. After Lu Tao recovered from his injury, he still taught at Yulong Academy and served as the vice president. ”
Ji Chigen smiled bitterly again when he heard this, "Are you on a par with White Dragon City? ”
Cheng Ruan sneered, and his phoenix eyes rolled, "What, do you think that the narrow-minded villain of the Green Dragon King can shoulder the position of the dean of the Jade Dragon Academy? ”
In front of Cheng Ruan, Ji Chigen could not be put on the emperor's shelf at all, and after the three conditions were agreed, Ji Chigen and Cheng Ruan agreed on some details, and then quietly returned to the palace. Except for a few henchmen, no one in the entire Chijing City knew that Ji Chigen had been here tonight.
This night, although it was a real candle night in the cave room between the two of them, Shen Yuan and Cheng Ruan just hugged each other and lay down, without the slightest thought of clouds and rain, after all, there was still a fragile little life in the belly, which was really inappropriate.
Shen Yuan told Cheng Ruan everything he had experienced, including the Silent Return to the Ruins, the Void Spirit Source Jun, the Reflection World, and the golden songs that appeared and disappeared inexplicably......
After several hours of talking, many mysteries in Shen Yuan's mind were easily solved by Cheng Ruan, and there was a sense of comfort in seeing the sun. The haze that had been condensed in the five-year memory in the reflection world had disappeared for the most part, and Shen Yuan slept exceptionally sweetly this night.
