Chapter 178: Gentleness is a sharp blade
A sword cart in the air sped at a gallop (you can imagine the carriage replacing the horse with a sword), and then stopped outside the palace gate of the Dream Sword Country.
Getting out of the car, Feng Rui had a big belly and fell to the ground steadily.
He took off a military uniform, and today he is wearing a light blue court dress, with a long four-clawed giant Jiao tattooed on his body, coiled from the back to the chest, and the gold silk embroidered edges reveal a luxurious temperament.
Jumping down after him was Jian Qiuxi, who was dressed in men's clothes.
The tight-fitting blue power suit outlines Jian Qiuxi's good figure, she has a ribbon embedded with bright yellow dragon balls on her head, her hair is tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, her hands and legs are each wearing a pair of iron bracers, her whole body exudes a natural heroic spirit, not like a daughter's family, more like a high-spirited young man.
Feng Rui raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the tall building in front of him that was as beautiful as a shell, thinking to himself how long it had been since he had been to this place......
It's been 20 years, and I think the girl next to me was just born, and her sister was only 5 years old.
He remembered what happened last night, and he only felt as if he was in a different worldβ
On the bow of the ship, the Qiankun mirror projected the image of Kenrin Sakura.
She didn't call him the King of the South China Sea or a rebel, and affectionately called him "Uncle Feng Rui", and it was at that moment that he suddenly recalled the days when he was born and died with the previous emperor, and he also once raised the sword Rin Sakura when he was a child high, so that she could fly in the air and see the world.
Jian Rin Sakura did not want to punish him in any way, on the contrary, she promised not to kill him, and would treat all the troops and people of the South China Sea with kindness.
She even promised not to exercise his jurisdiction over the South China Sea and agreed to Feng Rui's autonomy conditions, hoping that he could use a certain amount of the harvest every year as part of the treasury.
Without confiscating military power, not depriving officials of official positions, and allowing autonomy, Feng Rui could never have imagined such a result.
Judging from his crimes, it is good not to be executed by Ling Chi.
I don't know why, Feng Rui suddenly softened his heart and didn't want to fight, when he saw this girl, he suddenly thought in his heart, maybe she can really become a good monarch.
So after a three-day long journey, Feng Rui followed Jian Qiuxi here and stood outside the palace gate.
He didn't want to return to his territory without even congratulating the new emperor, even though that would be the safest for him, but, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to see Kenrin Sakura with his own eyes.
β¦β¦
Jian Rin Sakura had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, but today was slightly different in that her new clothes had been ready, it was a sky blue, embroidered with golden dragon patterns, the long sleeves hung down, the jewels on her body were shining, and she was wearing a shallow moon-shaped crown on her forehead, and the whole person was like the goddess of the moon.
Feng Rui was distracted for a while, and then quickly knelt on the ground, "Weichen Feng Rui, knock on Your Majesty." β
Jian Rin Sakura smiled slightly, and the big stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.
She stretched out her hand and helped Feng Rui up.
Jian Rin Sakura hugged Feng Rui, and the two of them talked for an afternoon in the upper study, from their memories of each other when they were children, to Jian Rin Sakura's latest song, especially the one she played at the festival ceremony of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom, which can be said to have brought tears to the whole world.
After a while, Feng Rui took the initiative to take the lead and said, "Weichen has something I want to ask Your Majesty. β
Kenrin Sakura smiled slightly, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. β
"How did you win the battle of Yunmenggang before? It stands to reason that it is impossible to lose with Long Yaotian's reconnaissance methods. β
"Speaking of which, it's a blessing to a swordsmith."
"Swordsmith?" Feng Rui asked suspiciously, his little eyes widened slightly, and he seemed to be a little surprised, a swordsmith changed a battle, which was really rare.
After he finished speaking, he took a sip of the sea cucumber chrysanthemum tea on the table, expecting Jian Rin Sakura to answer his questions.
"Yes, this swordsmith's name is Emiya," Kenrin Sakura said of Emiya, for some reason, with a smug smile on his face, "His newly made sword can detect targets within a range of 100 kilometers. β
"What?!" Feng Rui squirted out a mouthful of chrysanthemums, and then coughed violently, "100 kilometers? How is this possible?! β
Sword Rin Sakura trembled with laughter, "King of the South Sea, don't believe it, it is precisely by relying on this sword that we have completely grasped the movements of Long Yaotian's attack, and deployed in advance to achieve victory." β
She told Feng Rui everything about the scene that happened last night, including the prior detection, Zhou Sumeng's deployment, as well as the enemy's reaction, and the tragic situation during the battle.
"No wonder ......" Feng Rui let out a sigh-like laugh, a few wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, fortunately he didn't have the spur of the moment to start a war with Jian Rin Sakura, otherwise he didn't know how he died.
If she could keep track of what was going on from 100 kilometers away, he wouldn't have had any chance of winning.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.
Whoever controls the information controls the war.
"Your Majesty has such a good swordsmith, plus the two prodigies of the Grand Governor and the Great General...... Why do you have to forgive the old minister? Feng Rui's old face turned red, and after holding it for a long time, he finally said what he wanted to say.
"There's no point," Kenrin Sakura said with a smile, "At this time, the Dream Sword Country needs peace, civil strife will lead to turmoil in the country, and the people will not be able to make a living, even if I can win against you, what can I do?" When the time comes, it will give the Sword Kingdom a chance to take advantage of, and it will be the people of the Dream Sword Country who will suffer. β
That's how it is......
Feng Rui never expected that Jian Rin Ying's vision could see so far.
And this is one of the reasons why he accepted the persuasion to surrender.
"Then Your Majesty will send troops to the Sword Country after that?"
The two knew each other, and Jian Rin Ying had already known from the undercover agent how much he had participated in the Sword Kingdom this time, and how much Feng Rui had been involved.
She shook her head and sighed, "I'm afraid of a lot of losses in this battle from the Sword Country, and out of fear of this naval battle, they won't attack us in a short time, and we also need to recuperate, so it's impossible to go to war again." I only hope that the Heavenly Sword Kingdom can come forward to mediate, so that the Sword Kingdom will not blindly attack our idea. β
When Feng Rui heard this, his face showed a hint of old age, this new empress was much more rational than he imagined, if she really wanted to avenge the former emperor, she would not be able to escape death, but she chose to forgive him, just for the stability of the country.
For the sake of national stability, she chose to mediate with Lijian Guo.
How can a king who can always put the great cause of his family and country and the safety of the people in the first place be unpopular with the people, and how can a person like him be shaken?
Feng Rui could almost foresee that under the governance of Sword Rin Sakura, within twenty years, the Dream Sword Kingdom would usher in a new prosperous era.
He shook his head, suddenly feeling powerless, and it was time for the rapids to retreat.
