Volume 3 Empire Chapter 130 Heading to the Imperial Capital
It was already early in the morning, Feng Yang led the clansmen to hold a funeral for the great elder and other clansmen who died for the family, and everyone dispersed, and Feng Yang also ordered the Feng family to be rebuilt.
Xue Qingli also packed the luggage of the two from the Ahri auction house and came to Feng's house, and Feng Yang arranged him to his room.
After listening to the inside story that Feng Yang told him, Xue Qing couldn't help but grit her teeth: "This Great Ninja Empire is really not a thing!"
"Hmm...... I really didn't expect my Feng family to be targeted by the Great Ninja Empire. Feng Yang sighed, "The trauma brought to the Feng family this time is not small. ”
Xue Qingli nodded silently: "The matter here is over for the time being, what are we going to do next?"
"What's next...... Feng Yang looked at the sky, "Let's restore the Feng family, and strive to return to the way it was before the academy starts...... The Feng family used to have nearly five hundred people, but now, there may be less than two hundred. ”
"This one will get better slowly. Xue Qing left the road.
As the two were talking, a guard suddenly broke into the small courtyard, knelt down on one knee in front of Feng Yang, clasped his fists and saluted: "Family master, there is a messenger from the palace." ”
"Please come in!" As soon as Feng Yang heard that it was a messenger from the palace, it was sent by Justin, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly made tea and poured water, and went to greet him.
Feng Yang walked to the door and saw an old man in yellow, Feng Yang had heard that this was the chief manager next to Justin, Gonggong Xu.
"Father-in-law Xu, Feng Yang, the head of the Feng family, is polite. Feng Yang clasped his fists slightly and saluted.
"The master of the Feng family doesn't have to be polite to the old slave, I am a slave by His Majesty's side, and this gift is unbearable. As he spoke, Gonggong Xu bowed down and dragged Feng Yang.
Feng Yang smiled and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty's will is?"
"Good thing, good thing. Gonggong Xu smiled, touched the wrench on his hand, and a white scroll appeared in his hand, "Feng Yang, the head of the Feng family, listens to the order!"
Feng Yang hurriedly knelt on one knee and saluted with his fists.
"The head of the Fengyang family is a young hero, talented, he became a young man at the age of sixteen, and he will definitely be a pillar of the empire in the future, I am here to congratulate him first. The Feng family needs a lot of money to rebuild, and the royal family gives the Feng family 10 million gold coins here to build the Feng family. This time to encircle and suppress Wu Shitian, Demon Crow Shadow and others, Feng Yang has made great contributions, I hereby reward Feng Yang with the title of Duke of Fengyang, nine generations of hereditary, a week later, the imperial capital carried out the knighthood ceremony, admire this. ”
"Duke?" Feng Yang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, "Ordinary Qingbo will not grant the title of duke at all, this is a first-class noble, and some people with great merit will give it to an earl, what does it mean to give me a duke directly?"
"Master Feng, take the order!" said Gonggong Xu.
Feng Yang came back to his senses at this time, and said "Thank you, Lord Longen" before taking the holy decree, and then got up.
"Master Feng, congratulations. Gonggong Xu hugged his fists and said, "The gold coins have been sent to you in the warehouse, and the old slave has other things, so he will leave first." ”
Saying that, Father-in-law Xu took people and left without looking back.
"What's going on?" Xue Qingli rushed over and asked.
"Your Majesty directly gave me a duke, what does this mean?" Feng Yang asked, "and let me go to the imperial capital to attend the knighthood ceremony in a week." ”
Xue Qingli thought for a moment, and her facial expression was very ugly.
"There are three possibilities, one is to win people's hearts. ”
"How?"
"The strength you have shown in this battle is too strong, and the royal family may want to win you over to serve the royal family. ”
"What about the second one?"
"It's to remind you that everything you have is given by the Ancient Empire, so that you don't have different intentions. Last time, the prince said that the Feng family was already one of the best in the empire, so it was naturally a reminder to you. ”
"And then?"
"The third way is to confuse you, use such a big reward to you, make you think that the royal family is very good to you, make you relax your vigilance against the royal family, and at the knighthood ceremony a week later, they will use this time to kill you to solve the trouble. ”
Feng Yang listened to Xue Qingli's words, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he felt that what Xue Qingli said was very reasonable, but either was possible.
"Then what else should I do?" Feng Yang asked, "The first two are fine, if the third is the third, should I go or not?"
Xue Qingli touched her chin, looked at Feng Yang, and thought for a long time before she said: "Go! If you don't go, you will resist the decree, Justin will definitely come to the Feng family to arrest you, and then destroy the Feng family, but it will not be good." If you go, even if he wants to kill you, with your current strength, you can still escape. ”
Feng Yang listened, nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then I will arrange the affairs of the Feng family today, and I will leave tomorrow to go to this Hongmen banquet!"
On this day, Feng Yang once again formed the House of Elders, elected a new elder and acting head of the family, and embarked on the journey to the imperial capital with Xue Qingli. Five days later, Feng Yang and Xue Qingli arrived at the imperial capital and came to the palace.
"Wow, this is the imperial palace of your ancient empire!" Xue Qingli couldn't help but sigh, although he had seen the Cold Ice Palace of Ling Yu Xuan, which was much better than this, but he had never seen this western style.
Zhang Yuxuan's Ice Palace is made of ice, while Justin's Palace is a traditional style and is very spectacular.
"I've only been to the imperial capital once before, but I haven't seen the palace, so I didn't expect it to be like this. Feng Yang looked at the palace in front of him and couldn't help but admire.
"Okay, let's find a place to stay first!" Xue Qing left.
Feng Yang nodded, and found a hotel everywhere, and the two put down their luggage and prepared to go out for lunch.
The two entered the restaurant, ordered food, and sat there waiting, while listening to the other diners chatting.
Everyone talked about nothing more than what parents were short about, nothing worth listening to, Feng Yang just felt bored, and he didn't deliberately listen, just lowered his head and waited silently for the food to be served.
Suddenly, a person's words attracted Feng Yang's attention.
"Hey, have you heard? There is a Feng family in Fengyang Province, their head is sixteen years old this year, and he has already become a Qingbo!"
"I've heard that," someone replied, "I've heard that Your Majesty is ready to give him a knighthood, and guess what?"
"Earl? Generally, if you are a young uncle, you will usually be awarded a knighthood. The golden one is the marquis. ”
"What you're talking about is usually, I have a friend who works in the palace told me that His Majesty directly conferred the title of duke on the head of this Feng family!"
"What!, Duke?" said the crowd in amazement.
"The ruling prince of each province is the duke, why should he give it to the duke?"
"Who knows, but the sixteen-year-old Qingbo, that's really a genius!" someone slapped the table, gave a thumbs up, and said, "This time the Feng family is developed, I haven't heard of any Feng family before, Fengyang Province was the most powerful at the beginning, but the Liu family, then Liu Chenyang, the head of the Liu family, is the strength of Jinzun." ”
"Isn't that the collapse of the Feng family?" said humanely, "Don't you know that the elder brother of the head of the Feng family directly made the Liu family a second-rate force in the local area?"
"This Feng family is too ruthless, right?"
"What do you know? Didn't you read the newspaper a few days ago?" someone said disdainfully, "His brother is even more perverted, but unfortunately he didn't follow the right path, he became Jin Zun at the age of twenty, and took advantage of his absence to directly seize power, and cleaned up the power of the entire Guang'an City, making the people miserable, and finally Feng Yang came back, for the sake of the people, he directly killed his relatives in righteousness, and killed his brother to make amends to the people." ”
"Then when this peak is raised, there is affection and righteousness, and there is a clear distinction between good and evil!"
"Yes, yes!"
Feng Yang listened to the conversation between these people, and couldn't help but smile silently, where did these people know their pain and helplessness.
After quickly finishing eating with Xue Qingli, the two returned to the hotel, and after five days of driving, both of them were exhausted and immediately went into the room to rest.
In fact, according to Feng Yang's strength, now that he flies, he can reach the imperial capital in less than a day, but there is also a Xue Qingli of the Powder Martial King beside him, so he has to take a carriage to the imperial capital.
The two of them repaired like this for two days, and finally arrived at the day of the knighthood ceremony, and the palace had already known that they had come, so they directly sent someone to take the two to the palace to prepare for the knighthood ceremony.
Justin first gave Feng Yang the rank card of Qingbo, the level card is cyan, symbolizing the level of Qingbo, and the three unicorns on it are lifelike.
Then the corresponding clothes were issued, which were still different from the clothes of other Qingbo's people.
Ordinary clothes, no matter what level they are, do not have gold lines, but on the shoulders of Feng Yang's clothes, there are actually five gold lines. This also symbolizes the dukedom of Feng Yang.
The titles of the ancient empire were divided into five ranks, from low to high, and each time they were promoted, the gold pattern on their shoulders would increase.
After a simple knighthood ceremony, Justin had dinner in the palace with Liu Fengyang and Xue Qingli.
"Feng Yang, ......" Justin smiled and poured Feng Yang a glass of wine, "You also know that generally speaking, other people confer knighthoods, and the royal family will not hold ceremonies, but why did you come over to make a ceremony......
Feng Yang listened to Justin's words, and his heart suddenly became nervous, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Justin. And his hand was already touching the storage bracelet, ready to take out the whistling gun at any moment.
At this time, Feng Yang even thought that there was no poison in his rice.
Xue Qingli was also nervous, looked at Justin, and also held down the sword on his waist.
"Hahahaha, you don't have to be nervous. Justin seemed to see the thoughts of the two, and laughed, "I want Feng Yang to represent the Ancient Empire in the intercontinental tournament held by the Zhenchuan Duel. ”
"This year's Continental Tournament in the Northwest Continent is about to start, and I heard that both of you have already qualified for the Continental Tournament, and both of them are already considered to be the best among the young people of the Ancient Empire, so I want you to represent the Ancient Empire in the competition. ”
Feng Yang and Xue Qingli immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I agree!" Feng Yang stood up and hugged his fists.
