Chapter 513: Marquis of All Nations
The little one was the size of a puppy, with a slightly reddish feathers, and it looked really immature, and it was quite a bit of baby fat, but it was difficult to associate with the huge thing it was at present.
The little guy tilted his head, innocently looked at a few people, looked left and right, and finally fixed his eyes on Fang Ling's body, and then opened his mouth, "Twitter"
He screamed twice, waved his little wings and struggled, and his two little claws smashed open the eggshell and ran towards Fang Ling.
It's just that the little guy is even a little unsteady in his footsteps, he ran two steps, crookedly, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, and his cute appearance made people laugh.
It shook its head vigorously, shook off the blades of grass on its head, and then ran all the way to Fang Ling's feet, squatted down, and wiped its small mouth on his feet, as if coquettish.
Fang Ling carefully picked it up, the little mink had already left with Huo Junyuan, and the Tianjing Spirit Fox gave it to Xiao Xue again, this little guy became the only pet, but seeing that it was so well-behaved, he also felt pity.
The fourth senior sister Yu Qing'er looked happy, and couldn't help but want to come over and hug her, but she didn't expect the little guy to be very vigilant, raised her little head, flapped her little wings, and made a chirping sound in her mouth, making a fierce appearance as if she wanted to scare people.
It's just that it is not only frightening, but it causes everyone to laugh, Yu Qing'er is even more smiling, her mouth can't be closed, she is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and she is of good quality, and this laugh is quite charming.
Luo Chen smiled, and couldn't help but be curious: "Engong, what is the origin of this little guy?
Fang Ling explained: "This little guy is a cultivator-level fierce beast Fire Feather Thunder Eagle, I went to the Moon Sect and accidentally discovered it in the Heaven Follower Secret Realm. ”
Second Senior Brother Sun Qian couldn't help but be stunned and said: "There are no cultivation-level fierce beasts on the periphery of the Heaven Follower Secret Realm, Mo Fei Engong actually broke into the depths of the Heaven Follower Secret Realm!"
Although Sun Qian was short, he obviously reacted very quickly, and he found the key point at once, Fang Ling did not hide it from everyone, so he told everyone what happened in the secret realm of Xuntian, everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard it, and Fang Ling was even more impressed to the ground, a disciple of Xianmen can go to the secret realm of Xuntian, escape for his life in the hands of two cultivators, and be able to bring back the eggs of this fire feather and thunder eagle, which is simply the Arabian Night Pool.
Luo Chen finally understood, and said: "No wonder this little guy is so sticky to Engong, it must be Engong who is contaminated with the smell of the mother eagle in the bird's nest." ”
Fang Ling was right to think about it, he even picked up a few feathers that the mother eagle had fallen off in the bird's nest, he held the little guy in his arms, and then led everyone out of the inch tripod together, took out the land talisman given by Sun Fanfan, the lord of the Nanrong Difu, and opened a passage to the underworld on the spot.
With the identity of the staff of the underworld, Fang Ling can also be regarded as a regular official of the underworld, and the Nanlu Difu is also extremely powerful in the south of the underworld, so Fang Ling and the five people are also unimpeded through the teleportation array dedicated to the underworld.
Traveling from one underworld to another, relative to the distance on the ground, is not known how many times faster than a day and thousands of miles, and before he acted, Emperor Qin had already sent an envoy according to the agreement, escorted by the elite soldiers of the imperial city, to the state of Chu, and entered the territory of the state of Chu first.
Because the alliance is still confidential, so no one knows the news, Fang Ling calculated the time, but is not in a hurry to catch up with the envoys, but in the various prefectures to develop contacts, with the identity of the staff, three inches of incorruptible tongue, insight into the minds of others and strong financial resources, along the way to make a lot of people of insight, for the development of the prefecture has laid a solid foundation.
After entering the territory of the Chu State, according to the road map given by the Qin Emperor, Fang Ling quickly caught up with the envoys, and then headed towards the imperial city together.
In the spring of the eighteenth year of Zhengde, the cold wave from the north has not receded, and the entire imperial city is full of deep chill, and at the same time it is surrounded by a festive atmosphere, all because the rebellion of the eight kings that lasted for nearly a year was finally calmed down, and the land of Chu was finally able to stay away from the pain of war.
Since the crown prince Fang Ce led the emperor's order to the south, with the assistance of the southern generals, he has won many battles and made countless military exploits, successively captured Nankang County, Linjun State, Jiangzhou State, and then waved his army to the east to recover Jingzhou State, and finally captured the Imperial City of Dongzhou State together with the army of Shicheng State and the Eastern General Huang Longhu, and finally pacified the war.
Prince Fang Ce was famous when he was young, and the people who taught him knowledge were all famous people in the world, and now after the experience of the Eight Kings Rebellion, he has gained the fame of both civil and military, and there are all kinds of legends and stories about him killing the enemy, mighty and brave, and his reputation is also like the sky.
It's just that no matter how good his reputation is, no matter how strong he is, he has always been inferior to Fang Ling's brilliant achievements, Fang Ling's several battles, one more classic than the other, and one more shocking, directly reversed the tide of the Eight Kings Rebellion.
Although Fang Ce won a lot of battles, he could only rank second under the aura of Fang Ling, and it can even be said that the later battles almost did not rely on any strategy, and it was completely a siege tactic of ten times the number of men, and there was no classic at all.
Therefore, although it is rumored that Fang Ling returned to Shicheng Country due to important events and did not participate in the war after the transition, the army of Shicheng State under the leadership of Dong Canghai and others has also made many miraculous feats, and its reputation has been shocked.
Fang Ce was escorted by the southern general Hu Yansong and the army, all the way back to the imperial city, and after a few days of rest, the Chu Emperor set up a big banquet in the Tiannan Palace, one to celebrate the victory of the Eight Kings Rebellion, and the other to wash the dust for Fang Ce.
Chu Emperor Fang Hongtian was dressed in a golden silk dragon robe, wearing a Nine Dragons Imperial Crown, sitting on the dragon golden chair, majestic, beside him, was the smiling Queen of Song, with a stunning appearance, a phoenix in the world.
Under the left side is the seat given by the Emperor of Chu, sitting the crown prince Fang Ce and the crown princess Cui Xiaoxiao, Fang Ce has been out for several months, in the end, he has also experienced battlefield battles, his body is slightly stronger, his arrogant eyes are a little sharper, and the corners of his mouth are still habitually with an indifferent smile.
Under the two princes, the seats on the left and right sides are first of all prince-level figures, in addition to the emperor's relatives and relatives, there is also Xinyi Marquis Zhou Qian.
In order to get out of the palace, Fang Ling used his magic to heal Zhou Gan's mother's tumor, which won Zhou Gan's help, and spoke up on the prince's wedding, so that Fang Ling had the opportunity to accept Fang Hongtian's test.
Since Fang Ling left the palace, he has been dormant for three years and has become a blockbuster, but when he was at his most famous, he suddenly disappeared like a comet, which gave Fang Ce the opportunity to become famous through the Eight Kings Rebellion.
Although Zhou Qian has never asked about political affairs, he is full of gratitude to Fang Ling in his heart, and secondly, he does think that Fang Ling's talent is far above that of his younger brother Fang Ce, and now this celebration banquet is only Fang Ce, which is really a little unfair.
Of course, Zhou Qian is not the only one who feels that things are unfair, under the princes and relatives, there are hundreds of civil and military officials sitting on the left and right, and the civil ministers are divided into three factions, one is the force headed by the prime minister Cui Yixuan, Cui Yixuan has great power, and there are six departments of work, punishment, soldiers, rites, households, and officials, all of which are looking forward to their horses, since their daughter Cui Xiaoxiao married Fang Ce, they naturally formed a force with Queen Song, and gave advice to them, and their power rose sharply.
The second is to support Fang Ling's Taibao Xue Zhiqiu and Dali Siqing Yao Jing and others, this group of people are all from the scribes, a high body, although the power is weak, but the reputation is greater than the previous one, and the prestige among the world's scholars is extremely high, which can be described as a hundred responses.
For not inviting the king of Shicheng over for this celebration, everyone looked sullen, just waiting for the opportunity to write a book again.
As for the third neutral force, because Zhou Qian, the Marquis of Xinyi, supported Fang Ling back then, coupled with Fang Ling's achievements in the past three years, he also tended to support Fang Ling, but no one wanted to be a leader in provoking Cui Yixuan and Empress Song.
On the side of the generals, the four major generals of the southeast, northwest and northwest rarely gathered together, plus the hussar generals, auxiliary generals and Zhenguo generals, these high-ranking and powerful people, made this banquet even more weighty.
Everyone sat down, the wine and the good food came up one after another, Fang Hongtian raised the wine glass, and said loudly: "Now that the rebellion of the eight kings has subsided, the rebels bow down, the emperor can finally sleep peacefully, all of you Aiqing are meritorious ministers, but it doesn't hurt to drink freely today." ”
Everyone shouted in unison to thank Lord Longen, and the military attachés and military attachés all dried up the contents of the wine in one gulp.
Empress Song said softly: "Your Majesty, since everyone is a meritorious minister, can you just praise it like this, the rebellion of the eight kings has caused unrest in the people's livelihood, the war has been plagued one after another, how many people have been displaced, and the suffering is unspeakable. ”
Fang Hongtian laughed out loud and praised directly: "The queen is really benevolent and virtuous, you are very right, this emperor should treat the people well." ”
He looked around, groaned slightly, and said loudly, "Hu Yansong listens to the reward." ”
Hu Yansong, the general of the south, immediately walked out of the banquet and knelt down in the hall, Fang Hongtian smiled slightly and said: "Hu Yanqing has shown his might in the south, and the people have praised you, and the emperor will reward you with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred good horses, ten boxes of silk and satin, and ten boxes of pearls and jade, and give Hu Yanqing the title of marquis." ”
Hu Yansong was immediately overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and then retreated to the seat, Fang Hongtian said again: "Huang Longhu listens to the reward." ”
Huang Longhu, the general of the East, strode out, knelt on the ground, Fang Hongtian said with a smile: "Huang Qing's family guards the throat of my emperor's land in the east, and the merit is very high, this emperor will reward you with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred good horses, ten boxes of silk, ten boxes of pearls and jade, and give the Marquis of Wanguo." ”
Huang Longhu knelt down calmly and returned to the banquet, and then, Fang Hongtian called out all the important ministers who participated in the war one by one and gave them rich rewards, Fang Ce couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that his father had not called himself.
