Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Price of a Hero

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't understand!"

Qin Shaofu roared, black flames gushed out from his body, and the guard beside Qin Tianen, who was watching, was greatly surprised, and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Looks like I'm still overestimating you. ”

Qin Tianen's eyelids trembled, as if he didn't know it, and continued: "Huangfu Changqing has successfully befriended you and attracted the attention of His Majesty the Emperor, so you should have the heart to support you." What could be more popular with the people than such a great military feat? Therefore, this credit cannot be attributed to you. ”

"Now that the message has been released, it can't be changed. You need to know that this is not a consultation, but a decree. ”

Qin Shaofu's fist squeezed with a thumping sound, and even pinched out blood, and after a while, he finally let go slowly. He's not stupid, how can't he hear what the other party means. And he had thought about it before today.

Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.

Although Luo Dazhuang's explanation is a bit biased, it can't help but say that it is still very reasonable. My foundation is not stable, and if I really receive this credit, it may not be a good thing.

Although he once became the center of public opinion, the heat has passed, and the world knows that the Qin family in Tongling Guan has a disciple of a divine martial general, but the vast majority of them don't know who it is.

Once it is really famous all over the world, I am afraid it will become the target of public criticism.

The dragon is in the abyss, hiding the traces, and hiding in the light of others is safer.

He has even made a similar decision to give credit himself, as long as he is paid handsomely. But today, because of Qin Tianen, he passively decided this matter, which made him feel unacceptable.

It's just that this will ease the anger, and after it gradually calms down, it will be relieved again. My gaffe is not because of things, but because of people.

Qin Tianen let himself lose his temper, this is not a good thing, he should learn to control his emotions.

After thinking about this, Qin Shaofu suddenly smiled, calmed down, and said slowly: "I don't have any reputation, and this battle is to cover my face. Yao Qiang knew more about the three thousand soldiers and horses, and the other people who watched the process were already dead. If Your Majesty wants the four princes to take the credit, in a word, there is no need for the high-ranking and powerful Taiwei to personally go out of the way. ”

"Since I asked you to come, it should be because Your Majesty feels embarrassed to say it to me personally. Under the guilt, it will inevitably be replaced by heavy rewards. Tell me, what price did His Majesty the Emperor offer me?"

Seeing that he calmed down so quickly, Qin Tianen's eyes were slightly surprised, but he immediately returned to normal, and nodded: "You can figure it out, that's the best." “

Then he took out a roll of tissue paper and threw it over: "Your Majesty has written everything on it, just go and get it yourself." This is a secret decree, everything is purchased for you in the name of Jiangnan merchants, even if you say it, it will not be recognized by the royal family. “

Qin Shaofu caught the tissue paper, and after opening it, he found that it was two.

On one of them is written a reward: 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 horses of brocade...... In addition, there is a big mansion in the capital, and a number of housekeepers have already arrived in the house and settled in their own name.

Although it is a little inferior to military merits, I have to admit that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty is still very willing to make a price.

When I opened another piece of paper, it was a holy decree with a jade seal on it, which could be used as a certificate. When he saw the content on it clearly, Qin Shaofu was taken aback.

"Seal Qin Shaofu as Dingyuan Bo, fief Jiuding City. This is a secret decree that must not be publicized, and can only take office after ten years. You need to keep in mind that you don't spread it out. “

The words are concise and to the point, and there is no emperor shelf, but there is a feeling of discussion. And what surprised him was not that he was directly crowned an earl, but that it was a fief, which was actually Jiuding City.

Such a holy decree is really intriguing.

Qin Shaofu smiled, took all the secret decrees into his arms, and bowed again: "Thank you, Lord Taiwei!"

Qin Tianen's eyelids trembled: "It has nothing to do with me, thank Your Majesty." ”

"Of course, of course, thank you. I think Your Majesty must also want to see me, and when I go back, I will naturally thank you! If there is nothing else, I will retire first. ”

Qin Shaofu grinned, turned around and left.

"Armor stays ......" Qin Tianen opened his mouth and immediately stopped again.

Qin Shaofu walked away step by step, taking off the armor on his body little by little.

Helmets, shoulder armors, cuirasses...... Until all. The sun shone through the woods, shining on the golden armor, but it could not shine on the figure that was gradually fading away, until it disappeared into the shadows of the trees, as if it was the most appropriate destination.

These sunshines are too dazzling for me now, just like this golden armor, which should not be beared.

But what I took off today, one day, I will wear it back little by little.

Qin Shaofu was very calm, so calm that even he felt incredible. When they reached the path on the other side of the woods, they whistled, and in a short time they saw the red horse running happily.

He got on his horse, glanced in the direction of the woods, and galloped away.

Qin Tianen looked at the direction he left, motionless, silent for a long time, unable to see what he was thinking in his eyes. After a long while, the guard on the side said softly: "Lord Taiwei!"

"Put on the armor!" Qin Tianen pointed to the front, and then said, "From now on, you are His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." Before meeting His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, everything will be handled by me, and you don't have to speak. ”

"Yes!"

The guards didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly stepped forward to put on their armor one by one, and then went out of the woods and headed towards the capital with the army.

Although Yao Qiang felt that something was wrong, he wisely chose to keep silent.

The battle of the Deer River Valley, as early as the third day of the incident, a messenger from Fulongpo sent the news to the capital. Five days later, it spread throughout the Great Han Dynasty with the military report.

"In the battle of the Luhe Valley, the four princes and emperors dug the Panlong River and the Tali River, flooding the northern nomadic army of 200,000, and the great cold to the north. ”

This battle shocked the world, 3,000 soldiers and horses wiped out 200,000 troops, and there were almost no casualties. The heroes of all parties asked themselves, if they were to be themselves, it would be absolutely difficult to do it.

As for the Xia Wang family, who also died in the flood, the final severance of the bloodline of Emperor Dayu did not seem to cause too many people's anger, after all, they were mediocre and incompetent, and their reputation for poisoning the people had already spread all over the world.

What's more, there is another thing to say, after the four princes had a heartbreak, but the soldiers and horses in the north were too fast, so they still caught up. In order to rescue King Xia, the four princes themselves were in danger and were also flooded. With God's blessing, he was saved by the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

In short, benevolence, righteousness, wisdom and bravery, Wen Taowu and strategy, and the wise four princes are all accounted for, which makes people feel like they have seen the real dragon in the world.

When the 3,000 cavalry returned triumphantly, the whole capital was boiling, and all the people spontaneously rushed into the streets and flocked to the north gate to meet their hero.

In contrast, the South Gate appears dead and quiet.

Qin Shaofu walked in slowly, his shadow was stretched very long by the slanting sun, and only a jujube red horse followed behind.
