Chapter 375: Celebration Banquet
Empire, ringing the bell, nine times.
Nine is the extreme of numbers, and it also represents the ninety-five dignity of the imperial capital, and this also means that the rebellion in the imperial capital has been quelled. Murong Han and Murong Yunfan returned to the imperial capital a day ago, and after winning the main battlefield with the demon clan, the two of them couldn't wait to return to the imperial capital.
Whether it is Murong Han or Murong Yunfan, the two of them are actually not in love with the force that covers the sky with one hand, as far as they are concerned, they are just fulfilling their duties, protecting the people of the empire and the people of the world.
Just like the rumors in the imperial capital, Murong Han and Murong Yunfan will always be so light and light, and the only pearl in their hands is Murong Ying. Murong Ying was trapped in the imperial capital, but these two people in power gave up the opportunity to pursue the enemy and rushed back to the imperial capital overnight.
It's just that the crisis in the imperial capital has long been lifted because of Lan Jiu, so the biggest protagonist in this celebration banquet is Lan Jiu.
The people of the imperial capital gathered together, and after that rebellion, it seemed that these people were more united. Not only that, but those imperial relatives and senior generals who were far away at the border also rushed back to the imperial capital one after another, and the participants suddenly arrived at the celebration banquet.
Murong Han sat on the throne and said in a low voice, "This king is bent on the affairs of the imperial capital, and the most hateful godson has no way, which has caused the current imperial capital to fall into such a scene... But this king is ashamed of all of you, and to every brother who has died in this war!"
The civil and military officials under the seat all stood up one after another, joking, even if Murong Han was at fault, how could they dare to accept it with peace of mind?
Murong Han said softly, "Enjoying the immensity of heaven's grace and inheriting the grace of the previous king, our Eastern Empire has always been the country and the people... Although there are many wars, big and small, our people are united in defending against foreign enemies, but who could have predicted that the final crisis would come from within the court?"
Lan Jiu suddenly felt that Murong Han, who had always been strong, seemed to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden, and he had already lost his former sharpness.
"Thanks to God's grace, this king gave birth to three sons under his knees, but just a few days ago, the concubine rebelled, and the second son was killed by the concubine, and then the concubine has also been subjugated!" Murong Han said a little tiredly, "So today, I also solemnly announce that this king's eldest son, Murong Kong, ascended to the throne of the crown prince and canonized it on a certain date!"
Lan Jiu glanced at Murong Kong, but saw that there was no sadness in his eyes because of this rebellion. An aura of great joy quickly jumped out.
Murong Han looked at Murong Ying again, and said gently, "Ying Ying is the youngest daughter of this king, and she is officially canonized as the eldest princess today!"
"This rebellion was quelled, mainly thanks to our General Lan Jiu!" Murong Han said softly, his gaze moved back to Lan Jiu's body, "Lan Jiu is the younger brother of this king, the apprentice of Murong Houye, and the young hero, this time he has made this great achievement, I want to know, do you have any wishes or requirements? This king will help you complete it!"
Lan Jiu thought about it for a while, thought for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the minister does have a reluctant request, and I hope that the king can fulfill it!"
"Say!"
"I want the king to give me the king's sword, and I will use this sword to destroy the demon clan in the world!" Lan Jiu said firmly.
"Shhh No one expected that Lan Jiu's request would be a lion's mouth.
After being slightly stunned, Murong Han showed a rare smile and asked in a low voice, "Oh? I just don't know, Xiao Jiu, why did you make such a request? As far as I know, this Wang Jian, even if it is a member of our Murong clan, will be oppressed by his momentum, and it will not be able to exert its original strength at all!"
Lan Jiu shook his head and said with a light smile, "I don't know why, but after using it for a while, I feel extremely handy!"
"Is that so?" Murong Han was dull for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile, "This Wang Sword has never been available, and it is a waste to put it away." Since you have made this merit and can master the mystery of this king's sword, even if you give him to you, there is nothing wrong with it!"
"Ahh No, no, king, don't be impulsive!"
"This royal sword has been a symbol of the empire since ancient times, how can it be easily passed down?"
"Your Majesty, the effect of this sword is even higher than that of the talisman... General Lan is now just a small third-grade general, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to give him the Wang Sword so early, right?"
“.......”
All of a sudden, this celebration banquet became more lively, and the topic kept spreading and delving into it around Lan Jiu and Wang Jian. However, these older generation of eunuch generals in the imperial capital all felt that Lan Jiu was not suitable to take away Wang Jian. The reason for this, whether it is qualifications or social status, does not match Wang Jian.
Murong Han waved his palm and laughed in a low voice, "Zhong Aiqing, don't be impatient, I also know that with Lan Jiu's current status, he is indeed not suitable to be in charge of the Wang Sword... However, if I make him a concubine, I don't know if you still have any objections?"
At this moment, it was not only outsiders who were stunned, even Lan Jiu and Murong Ying were staying there. What the hell is this? In advance, Murong Han didn't say that there was still this one!
Seeing that the scene was quiet, Murong Han continued, "Since you all have no objections, well, I solemnly announce it again. Feng Lanjiu is the sword envoy, the official worships the first-class general, is in charge of the king's sword, and sees the official at the first level. And give marriage to Lan Jiu and Yingying, five years later, the marriage will be completed!"
Five years, Lan Jiu slowly calculated this time in his heart, it was not short, it was enough to complete all the plans by himself.
"Obey the holy order!" Lan Jiu knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, then looked at Wang Jian who floated over, raised his hand, and directly grasped it steadily. That familiar touch came, and Lan Jiu knew that before he found a suitable weapon, he was afraid that he would not be able to do without this sword.
"Suffering from this catastrophe, I think the military power of the imperial capital needs to be redivided!" Murong Han said helplessly, "General Sima Lie could not escape the blame for this rebellion, so he was demoted to the general of the Eighth Army. From now on, the Eighth Army will be owned by the Imperial Princess, Murong Ying, and General Sima Lie should obey it with all his might. ”
Seeing that there was no rebuttal below, Murong Han continued, "As for the sword envoy Lan Jiu, he holds the fourth and ninth armies... And I am still in command of my first army and the forbidden army, Murong Marquis is in charge of the guards, and the rest of the army is in the hands of the prince!"
In fact, such a layout does not make much sense, but it just brings the original division to the surface.
However, Lan Jiu didn't have much opinion, no matter how he said that he was promoted, only in this way could he complete the final plan. Lan Jiu glanced at Murong Ying, but in his heart he also felt that this little girl was indeed lovely, if he was still alive in five years, maybe marrying her would indeed be the best ending.
The celebration banquet finally slowly dispersed, and the entire palace was empty, leaving only Murong Han, Murong Yunfan and Lan Jiu.
As for the current crown prince, he has just ascended the throne, but he is very happy in his heart at the moment, and he can't calm down at all. As for Murong Ying, her cultivation talent was the worst among the royal disciples, and she only knew some simple light magic. After the fright of the previous days, my body couldn't toss at all, so I went back to rest early.
Murong Han's gaze fell on Lan Jiu, and he asked in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu, don't be surprised when I suddenly help you set this marriage!"
Lan Jiu smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, how can I blame you for your decision?" It's just that in my heart, I have already made up my mind to die, and the road ahead is long and extremely dangerous. Your Majesty, are you really not worried, your daughter will wait for five years, and all she will be guarding is a white bone?"
Murong Han smiled lightly and said in a low voice, "No, I still have a lot of confidence in you, in order to protect this girl, this is the best way!"
"Huh, protection?" Lan Jiu was slightly stunned.
"Whether it's me or my younger brother Murong Houye, after all, we are old, and we are hovering on the edge of life and death all year round, no one knows how long we can live!" Murong Han said softly, "Among my four children, the eldest son, Murong Kong, is the most talented, and his swordsmanship is unparalleled. Although the second and third sons are not as good as him, they are also extremely powerful, far exceeding their peers. Only Lao Mo, this little girl, has only awakened a little bit of the light element, and she has no ability to defend herself at all!"
Lan Jiu nodded lightly, he knew these things.
Murong Han's gaze lifted slightly, looked at Murong Yunfan, and asked with a chuckle, "Brother, I don't know where you are going to go after this trip?"
"Haha, I'm a person who can't be idle, although you have appointed the Guards to me, Brother Huang, I will definitely not stay within the walls of this palace!" Murong Yunfan's sharpness was not reduced back then, "I still want to take a few of them to fight in the north and south, after all, their strength is no worse than that of us old men, what they lack is just experience!"
Murong Han nodded unexpectedly, and said again and again, "I knew that my brother would make such a choice, haha, but there is one thing, I also hope that my brother can promise me!"
"Hmm, what's the matter?" Murong Yunfan asked, "Whether it's a monarch or a brother, I will naturally try my best to do your thing!"
"Take Ying Ying with your team!" Murong Han said softly, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, after this incident, I feel more and more that this deep palace is not absolutely safe... Entrust Ying Ying to you, I think you will definitely give him the best protection! Besides, Xiao Jiu and him already have a marriage contract, so it's good for them to get acquainted with each other, Ying Ying is also a light magician, and she can also let Xiao Jiu guide her when she has time!"
The original team of five people was destined to become six people from this moment on. And Murong Ying, who was asleep, didn't know that he had been "sold" to Lan Jiu by his father.
