Some were reluctant to send Qin Zhirou to the carriage back to the Qin Mansion, and seeing the carriage disappear at the corner of the laneway, Zhao Fucai returned to the Zhao Mansion with some distraction, and when he passed by the guest room where Hu Zhiyuan was, he found that Hu Zhiyuan had woken up. Probably because his body was still very weak, the food on the table not far from the bed fell to the ground, and Hu Jiyuan only had his lower body on the bed, and his upper body was already lying on the ground and eating the food that he had taken off the table.

Hu Qiyuan didn't have much impression of Zhao Fu, but he was very impressed by the Tang knife on Zhao Fu's waist, and immediately thought of who it was, and in a hurry he wanted to kneel down and salute Zhao Fu, but instead the whole person fell under the bed.

Zhao Fu hurriedly helped him back to the bed, and even asked the maid to make some porridge again and send it over.

fed Hu Jiyuan to drink porridge, but he didn't drink two sips but found that Hu Jiyuan shed more tears than the porridge he drank. Zhao Fu was very helpless, so he had to put the porridge bowl aside first, and first used internal breath to help Hu Qiyuan stabilize his injury and make him look better.

But all people, when they come into contact with such a mysterious thing as qi for the first time, they will be surprised, Hu Qiyuan stared at Zhao Fu's palm with wide eyes - he could clearly feel a cool warm current, yes, both cool and warm breath transmitted to his body through Zhao Fu's palm.

Zhao Fu smiled at him, could he guess his surprise, "Do you want to learn?" He pointed to his palm.

Zhao Fu used simple Hu language, although the accent was weird, but it did not hinder communication, Hu Qiyuan nodded hurriedly, leaned forward desperately to salute Zhao Fu on the bed, but fortunately, Zhao Fu had a lot of strength and forcibly pressed him back.

"First, finish eating." Zhao Fu brought the porridge over and put it in Hu Jiyuan's hand.

Hu Qiyuan didn't shed tears this time, he drank the porridge very resolutely and quickly, and then he looked at Zhao Fu with anticipation; Zhao Fu ignored his expectant eyes and handed him a scallion cake; Hu Qiyuan struggled with the painful muscles in his face, finished eating the scallion cake again, and then looked at Zhao Fu with anticipation; Zhao Fu still ignored it and threw him an apple, this time Hu Qiyuan ate more difficult, and from time to time he saw his face twitching, Zhao Fu swore that this was the most hideous way to eat apples he had ever seen, but Hu Qiyuan still swallowed the apple.

Hu Qiyuan didn't feel insulted or teased because of this, even if it was painful, but he still looked at Zhao Fu calmly after eating, as if no matter what Zhao Fu gave him, even if he was a god, he could eat it for Zhao Fu.

"First, learn, Chinese." Zhao Fu could only praise the nerves of this alien boy for being too tenacious.

Hu Qiyuan's eyes were a little disappointed, but he immediately knew the reason, and nodded at Zhao Fu again and again, "Teach...... Chinese ...... I...... Learn! ”

Zhao Fu nodded and let him rest. He also asked Cao Zhongqing to invite a few gentlemen to teach Huqiyuan Chinese early the next morning.

There is a reason why Zhao Fu cares about Hu Fu very much, the potential that Hu Fu broke out on the battlefield makes Zhao Fu very optimistic, such a general should be befriended even if he can't be subdued, and what surprised Zhao Fu the most is that even if the sentence "Be a slave and a general for life." ”

At first, Zhao Fu really thought it was a miracle, and a complete word of allegiance suddenly came out of the mouth of a Hu young man who couldn't speak Chinese, what is this not a miracle? Later, when Ma Xiong asked about the Hu boy, Zhao Fu told Ma Xiong about this "miracle", but it turned out to be so laughing that Ma Xiong almost fell off the horse.

It turned out that this sentence was not original, but Xia Yingyang's allegiance to Zhao Fu's father Zhao Yicheng. Xia Yingyang is of mixed Hu and Han descent, although he grew up in Beiting, but because of his mother's humble status, he was treated as a slave all day long, until he met Zhao Yicheng, Zhao Yicheng took pity on the child, and took him back to Lanting. After that, the first Chinese sentence that Xia Yingyang learned was "to be a slave and a general for life". At that time, Xia Yingyang was no longer young, but he showed Zhao Yicheng the Chinese he had just learned like a child. Then Xia Yingyang joined the army, and he was really a fierce general, and he sat firmly in the position of the three major commanders of Lanting with his military exploits.

"The Hu people in Beiting worship heroes more than betrayal, Xia Yingyang is such a hero, so his story has long been spread in Beiting." Ma Xiong explained to Zhao Fu like this.

But Zhao Fu was even happier after hearing this, doesn't this mean that he is the object that Hu Qiyuan has been waiting for allegiance? Thinking of the three requirements he had made, two have now been reached: Hu Qiyuan and Qin Zhirou, but the remaining army is not difficult, Lanting is a military city!

Although Zhao Fu is only thirteen years old, he now has a feeling of being a winner in life.

The battle between the Exit and the Left Tent is just a small episode, Lanting City is still living the days of Lanting City, and Beiting is still living the bloody days of Beiting, and Kyoto is living the prosperous days of Kyoto. Zhao Fu is also living his life, practicing every day, accompanying Qin Zhirou to play all kinds of fun games, and then he is to learn from Hu Jiyuan, and go to the barracks to form a battle formation with the dogs to "compete" with the veterans.

And Feng Yu's battle report was also sent to Kyoto in the past few days, of course he would not write that Zhao Fu ignored the strong opposition of Ma Xiong, the commander of the Lanting Town Guard, and brought a team of recruits out of the fortress, but wrote that the Hu people who came into the left tent court of the North Court were very restless and harassed, Xia Ying raised his fingers and waved his hand to personally lead the troops to inspect the border defense, but he unexpectedly fell into the trick of luring the enemy, and Zhao Fu was training with a team of recruits at the time, and learned that the commander of Xia was besieged and hurriedly led his troops to rescue him...... and so on, in short, even if you want to discredit Xia Yingyang, you have to pile up the credit on Zhao Fu.

Lanting City is peaceful, it was originally a simple military city, even if the merchants and travelers gathered, it did not change the simple life style of Lanting people. And Lin Haoyan, the little emperor in the capital, is still living a luxurious imperial life there, relying on the rich treasury accumulated by his father, Lin Haoyan is extremely nourishing.

"Your Majesty, Archbishop Sborough asks for a meeting." Lin Haoyan is still "diligent" in government affairs, or it is more appropriate to describe it as a desire to control. The young emperor had not even had time to experience the gloomy palace battles before he inherited from his father a prosperous country: the treasury was full and the army was strong. People born in this way are born with a sense of superiority, and they are accustomed to sitting high and looking down on the kneeling of others, and they naturally think that it should be his habit.

But lately, the country seems to be getting more and more out of his grasp: the Northwest Town Guards have sent troops privately, the Cross Holy Church has even wanted to open their churches in the imperial capital of the capital, and the south has just experienced a drought, and many people have no harvest, waiting for the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief.

The matter in the northwest is a trivial matter, it is nothing more than asking for credit, suppressing the right of other factions to speak in Lanting City, Lin Haoyan glanced at the fold and directly transferred it to the military department, and the drought and famine year in the south is not a big deal, the founding emperor Lin Fengyi has long had a disaster relief process with prescribed procedures for this kind of disaster year, and let the people from the Ministry of Rites and Households do it. It's just that this Cross Holy Sect gave Lin Haoyan a headache.

The appearance of the Holy Cult of the Cross was very sudden, and it was only a few years since it appeared in the Lanhe Empire, but it developed a large number of believers, and their churches were built in many towns. This is not a problem, there are temples and Taoist temples in the Lanhe Empire, but the Cross Sacred Sect and the Buddhism and Taoism are completely different, and the Cross Sacred Sect's participation in politics has reached an almost fanatical state - their churches will definitely be built in a conspicuous place, or even opposite the county government! In the hearts of many people, the judgment of the Holy Cross Religion is more fair and just than the judgment of the county government. What is even more terrifying is that the Holy Cross Cult has recruited a large number of private soldiers, in the name of protecting good believers.

"Go, invite the old man!" Lin Haoyan frowned, "Let that bishop come in too." ”

"With blessings from the west, it is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty of the Great Eastern Empire!" A blonde man in a white robe walked in, and then bowed to Lin Haoyan, "Please allow me to introduce myself, I am the Archbishop of the Holy Church, Siboro, and I am traveling east to preach at the will of my God......

"We don't need these things in the Lanhe Empire." Lin Haoyan waved his hand in disgust, "You guys better go somewhere else." ”

Li Guolao Li Fu is one of the old ministers left by Lin Haoyan's father, unlike other old ministers, Li Fu knows how to read Lin Haoyan's eyes, so he is also the only courtier who has not been gradually eliminated by Lin Haoyan, and because of several proposals of the Sacred Heart of Hehuan, he has won the name of this old man - Li Fu is good and happy, and Lin Haoyan also needs such a heavyweight courtier to help him complete some proposals that are easy to be opposed.

"Your Majesty, I think that the archbishop's words still have some truth, and the Holy Religion still has certain benefits for strengthening His Majesty's rule over the Lan River......

Lin Haoyan was surprised, Li Guolao's eyes are not good today? Don't you see that you are worried?

Si Boluo was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly said that he really didn't spend the money in the wrong place, and hurriedly followed Li Fu's words, "Your Majesty, I came here by the will of God, and I ...... you No, "Si Boo deliberately paused here" is full of goodwill to Your Majesty, your Lanhe Empire. With that, he took out a delicate sheepskin scroll from his arms and held it in front of Lin Haoyan with both hands.

Lin Haoyan snorted and opened the sheepskin scroll, but even he gasped - he guessed that this must be a gift list, but he didn't guess that the weight of this gift list was so heavy!

Lin Haoyan thinks that he definitely doesn't have his own father, or his grandfather is more eloquent, so he doesn't have high requirements for himself, and he is a good ruler, so the various tax rates are still in a low proportion, and the gift list given by Si Boluo is almost comparable to half of the treasury, this is not his treasury, this is the accumulation of the Lanhe Empire over the ages!

And the last column of the parchment scroll reads: Willing to crown Lin Haoyan as the Holy Emperor of the Cross Saint!

This is a great gift that has touched Lin Haoyan's thoughts, living in the shadow of his father's saint and virtuous monarch, he doesn't want to do a great job, but it's too difficult, Lin Haoyan is destined to be a king who can only be a king. And if he accepts the Holy Cult of the Cross, it will be a unique achievement that will go down in history!

Si Boluo looked at the young emperor with a smile on his face, while Li Fu looked at the master with some nervous expectation.
