The ministers and generals watched Xue Jian ride the dragon with the emperor, and their thoughts were different.

Those generals who followed Xue Jian's northern expedition were naturally overjoyed, thinking that they had been stained with the light of the boss, and they also followed the rising tide, and it is estimated that the reward will not be less.

On the other hand, the ministers had ugly faces and worries in their hearts.

The royal guard of honor is mighty, and the ten-mile official road leading directly to the capital has long been blocked by dense guards.

Inside the dragon bowl, only a soft and luxurious red sandalwood is placed.

Xuanyuan Yu pulled Princess Qinglian to sit on the soft collapse, originally he wanted to invite Xue Jian to sit together, but Xue Jian refused.

Riding the dragon together has already made some ministers dissatisfied, and if the emperor collapses again, it will inevitably fall into the tongue and cause unnecessary trouble.

Xue saw that the palace maid who was accompanying him outside the car moved a chair in, and he sat down and looked at the young emperor.

"The scenery of the Northern Desert is infinite, the battlefield is full of pride, I have long been fascinated by it, I wonder if the general can talk about the experience of this road?"

Xuanyuan Yu opened his mouth with a smile, gentle and elegant, and his smile made people feel like a spring breeze.

Before Xue Jian could speak, Princess Qinglian excitedly spoke first.

"I'll tell you, Brother Huang doesn't know how dangerous this journey is, and there have been several times when I almost couldn't come back. ”

Having said that, Princess Qinglian did not have a little happiness or fear on her face, but only smug and complacent.

It seems that a big thing has been done, and a child who is anxious to ask for credit from his elders.

The road was not far, the carriage and horses walked very slowly, and Princess Qinglian told the story along the way.

The little girl was very good at telling stories, and some ordinary things were very interesting to her, which caused the young emperor to laugh more than once.

It wasn't until he talked about the salon village and the battle with the witch king that Xuanyuan Yu suddenly became serious and listened very attentively.

The little girl stood up, and while talking, she stretched out her hand and gestured, dancing and dancing, and her words were very exaggerated, like a little storyteller in a teahouse.

Not to mention Xuanyuan Yu, even Xue Jian couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

However, the more exaggerated she said, the more beneficial it would be to Xue Jian, and at this moment, the young emperor should carefully weigh his weight in his heart.

After that, Princess Qinglian talked about the things in the ancient tomb one after another.

Xuanyuan Yu has always had a smile on the surface, but in fact, he has already set off a monstrous wave in his heart, and he is shocked.

It wasn't until after listening to the story that he suddenly changed his mind.

The Witch King, the tumor that had dominated the Southern Ming Empire for thousands of years, was finally removed, but a fierce tiger grew up unconsciously.

The ferocity of this tiger is not weaker than that of the Witch King.

Xuanyuan Yu was thinking in his heart, and suddenly there was a flash of inspiration, he looked sideways at his lively and lovely sister, and then at "Helian Chong", who was in his early thirties and was in his prime.

"Helian Aiqing has made such a great contribution this time, I really have a headache, and I don't know how to reward it. ”

Xue Jian hurriedly replied.

"Your Majesty is too worried, this is what Weichen should do. ”

Xuanyuan Yu then said.

"If I remember correctly, Helian Aiqing has just turned thirty-two, and having such an achievement at such a young age can be called a dragon and phoenix among people.

In another month, Qinglian will be sixteen years old, and she will really be a big girl by then, and she will be at the age of marriage. ”

Hearing this, Princess Qinglian's face suddenly turned red, and she glared at Xuanyuan Yu in shame, and said angrily.

"Brother Huang, what nonsense are you talking about, I don't want to marry. ”

Xuanyuan Yu looked at her with a smile on her face and said.

"Men should marry, women should marry, since ancient times, the princess should be sixteen years old to screen the horse, of course, if you don't want to marry, the royal brother will not force it. ”

Princess Qinglian sat beside Xuanyuan Yu, gently grabbed his arm, lowered her head and twisted and pinched.

"Since it has been a rule since ancient times, then ...... It's all up to the royal brother's arrangement. ”

After saying this, the little girl's face was red and almost dripping blood, she secretly glanced at Xue Jian with her spare eyes, and saw that he had no expression, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Xue Jian had actually guessed that the emperor might win him over by means of marriage, so he was not at all surprised, and he even prepared a statement in his heart.

Xuanyuan Yu looked at Xue Jian and said with a smile.

"In fact, this horse doesn't need to be screened, at the moment in the Nanming Empire, who else can compare to Helian Aiqing.

I plan to marry the two of you, I don't know what Helian Aiqing wants?"

Xue saw that he glanced at Princess Qinglian, who was ashamed and happy, sighed lightly in his heart, got up and bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty gave marriage, Weichen didn't dare to not, but Weichen was not here, after the class returned to the court, Weichen planned to resign from the position of the commander and the sea monarch, return to the South China Sea, and no longer participate in political affairs. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xuanyuan Yu and Princess Qinglian were stunned.

They never expected that Xue Jian would just resign if he didn't agree to the marriage.

You must know that he is now under one person and above ten thousand, holding most of the military power of the Southern Ming Empire in his hands, and even the defense of the entire capital is in the hands of Xue Jian.

If he agrees to the marriage, he will have more than 100,000 troops outside, assisted by Princess Qinglian, the inheritor of the witch god, and coupled with his own force, he may be able to become an existence similar to the witch king in the future and set foot on the pinnacle of a country.

Even if he didn't agree, Xue Jian could at least become the general of the Southern Ming Empire, and Xuanyuan Yu would definitely not dare to touch him in a short time.

But he chose to refuse the marriage and resigned.

This operation made Xuanyuan Yu really a little incomprehensible.

Of course, Xue Jian's resignation is the best result for him, and he can get rid of a hidden danger without spending a single soldier or taking his sister.

Princess Qinglian seemed to have been hit hard, but she quickly recovered her vitality, got up and walked to Xue Jian's side, and said with a smile.

"What's so good about being a general, it's okay to resign, where you go in the future, I'll play with you, I've been to the desert, and then I'll see the sea, it's good. ”

When Xuanyuan Yu heard her words, his face suddenly sank.

"Nonsense, you are a princess of a country, how can you run around like a wild child. ”

He was actually a little panicked in his heart, Xue saw that he resigned and retired, and Xuanyuan Yu couldn't ask for it, but he must not let him kidnap his sister away.

Xue Jian's eyelids trembled as he was frightened by Princess Qinglian's casual words, and persuaded him.

"Princess, Your Majesty is right, you are a princess of a country, your status is noble, you can't run around, if something happens, no one can afford to be responsible. ”

Princess Qinglian's eyes widened, and she was playing with her temperament, and no one could do anything about her.

"I don't care, I'll follow you wherever you go anyway. ”

These words made Xuanyuan Yu angry, and he immediately ordered.

"Qinglian, don't mess around, from today onwards, you can only be in the palace, and you can't go anywhere. ”

Princess Qinglian snorted lightly, tiptoed a little, and flew directly out of the dragon and flew away in the sky.

In the past, she relied on the noble status of the princess to be willful, but now she is a top master who can fight with the Witch King, not to mention Xuanyuan Yu, even if it is Xue Jian, she may not be able to lower her.
