After arriving at the gate of the imperial city, the three thousand Xuanlin troops returned to the barracks on their own, while the four of them, Lord Rui, the third prince, the county lord of Yi Ning, and Shi Zhiyi, walked towards the imperial study under the leadership of the little eunuch.

After passing through the many pavilions and pavilions, the four of them finally arrived outside the imperial study with carved beams and paintings, and after only waiting for a moment, a eunuch came out to summon them.

Behind the wide golden silk rosewood bookcase, there is a man in a bright yellow dragon robe, this person is naturally the thirteenth emperor of the current Great Jin Dynasty, and at the same time the head of the Yu family, one of the eight great families, Jingchang Emperor Yu Lihong.

Judging from the physiognomy, he is seven or eight points similar to Prince Rui Yu Lizhi, but Prince Rui gives people a feeling of more elegance and affinity, and perhaps because of being an emperor, Emperor Jingchang's eyebrows are a little more majestic and noble.

Seeing everyone coming in, Emperor Jingchang got up and smiled: "Yi Ning, you have finally come back safely!

Yi Ning made his father worried, and asked his father to forgive him. The county lord of Yi Ning stood up from behind Prince Rui and the three princes, saluted Emperor Jingchang, and then his eyes turned red: "These days, Yi Ning often misses his father and mother, and he used to be naughty and ignorant, and often made his father angry, and he left Kyoto for more than half a year before he felt the benefits of his father." ”

"Haha, it's still a dream to please my father, as soon as I see you, my father's troubles are gone. Emperor Jingchang then didn't know what to remember, and snorted coldly: "In the past few months, there have always been people who have been bothering in my ears, saying that they are going to hold a funeral for you, and I have said that my daughter is the daughter of destiny, and she has great luck, how can she die in vain! Why don't you come over quickly and let my father take a good look!"

When the news that the Three Princes' Boat had been attacked on the Ningyu River and that the whereabouts of the Lord of Ningling County were unknown came back to Kyoto, Emperor Jingchang was furious and personally ordered the Beigong family in Yongzhou and Jingzhou to send additional personnel to block the entire Ningyuchuan area for searching.

The third prince, Yu Zhongqian, commanded tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the two places to search the surface of the Ningyuchuan Lake and the surrounding areas along the lake for a month, searching almost every inch of the water and land in the Ningyuchuan area, but there was no progress, and finally had to return to Kyoto.

Fu Lindai, who was originally on the same boat with him and was going to Kyoto to take care of family affairs, changed his plan to return to Puzhou and report this strange incident to the head of the family, Old Man Fu.

After the third prince returned to Beijing, he and his mother Concubine Fu were certainly heartbroken, and Emperor Jingchang was also furious. Lord Yi Ning is his youngest child, well-behaved and lovely, so he is quite favored by Emperor Jingchang on weekdays. This was the first time she had gone out without her father and mother, and this kind of accident happened, and for several months, Emperor Jingchang didn't have a smile on his face.

Although everyone thinks that this matter is very strange, the name of the Ningyuchuan Divine Dragon has been praised for thousands of years, and everyone in the world knows about it. There are thousands of people who claim to have seen the dragon with their own eyes, and there are even more poems about the dragon that can almost fill the Ning Yuchuan River, but there is never any real evidence to prove its existence.

And now the dragon not only appeared, but also took the initiative to attack the boat of the three princes and the county lord of Yining, which is really strange. Although Emperor Jingchang ordered Yongzhou and Jingzhou to investigate thoroughly, the Shenlong has long been gone.

"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, he can be safe and sound, and turn evil into good fortune. I haven't seen you for half a year, Father, you have lost weight, and now that Yi Ning is back, you will have to eat two more bowls of rice every day in the future!"

Emperor Jingchang laughed again: "Yi Ning, you preemptively said everything I wanted to say, let me say something? Hurry up and tell me, what has happened in the past few months?"

The county lord of Yi Ning glanced up at the third prince, and began to tell the story from the attack on Ningyuchuan that day. However, she did not say that the dragon Baichen was killed by Shi Zhiyi, so as not to expose the secret of Shi Zhiyi's ring, only that the two tried to open a passage in the dragon's belly together, and the dragon was in pain, spit out the two, and then disappeared.

After that, how did the two overhear the conversation between Beigong Zhao and his guards in that huge cave by chance, and how Shi Zhiyi deceived Beigong Zhao so that the two could escape. Then he was chased and killed by the Beigong family all the way, and had to flee into the wild forest.

As for all the things they have in the Rilian tribe, they have not mentioned it, only that it is difficult to find the direction in the wild forest, and it took months to finally walk out of it and reach Wuling.

Emperor Jingchang listened to the narration of the county lord of Ninging, but his face became more and more gloomy. He glanced up at Shi Zhiyi, who had not had a chance to speak after entering the door, and asked, "You are Shi Huaichuan's son?"

Shi Zhiyi stepped forward and saluted, "Grass people Shi Zhiyi, I have seen Your Majesty."

Six hundred years ago, the Great Qin Dynasty fell apart, and the Yu family, as the new royal family, promised many benefits to other great families in exchange for their support for the new dynasty. Among the benefits obtained by the Shi family, in addition to the tax being reduced from one of the eight taxes of Great Qin to one of the twenty-four taxes, there is also one that is the hereditary replacement of the town of the city lord of Yunqi City in the past dynasties.

But the title of Zhenbei Hou currently belongs to Shi Zhiyi's father Shi Huaichuan, and although Shi Zhiyi is the young lord of Yunqi City, he does not have any official title, so he can only call himself a grass man in front of Emperor Jingchang.

Emperor Jingchang took a deep look at Shi Zhiyi, but he didn't know what to think, he just hummed in a nasal voice, but didn't say anything more for a while.

Shi Zhiyi learned from Prince Rui that when his father came to Kyoto to participate in the Spring Festival, the princes and sons of the major families were all defeated by him. Moreover, Shi Huaichuan has a straightforward temperament, and he will go all out to show no mercy, which really offends many people.

Unfortunately, Emperor Jingchang was one of the princes who was defeated by Shi Huaichuan neatly. Therefore, Shi Zhiyi had expected this attitude of Emperor Jingchang, but he just maintained a saluting posture without the slightest impatience.

However, the county lord of Yi Ning couldn't look at it, and reminded: "Father, you haven't said that you are even!"

"Flatten. Emperor Jingchang coughed and said, "Yi Ning has some ability, and I still know it as my father." If she can go from Yongzhou through the wild forest to Liangzhou alone, then I don't believe it anyway. ”

The county lord snorted lightly, Emperor Jingchang smiled slightly, and his mood improved: "If you have meritorious service, I will make you a five-rank cloud cavalry captain and a first-class new lord, and I hope you will guard against arrogance and rashness, and be loyal to the country." ”

Wupinyun Cavalry Captain is naturally a fictitious title that does not even have a big head soldier under his hands, and Xinye is a county, this so-called first-class Xinye Jue is a viscount, and it is quite good to be knighted at Shi Zhiyi's age, but the problem is that Xinye is located in Yongzhou, and Shi Zhiyi's fief is arranged in the sphere of influence of the Beigong family who has just chased him, and the title of this viscount is not much different from that of not being sealed.

Lord Yi Ning naturally didn't know that her father was so flamboyant, and in fact, she didn't know anything about Shi Zhiyi's title. After seeing the two golden mountains in Shi Zhiyi's ring space, she naturally knew that Shi Zhiyi could not look down on the small favor of the so-called fiefdom at all.

The simple county lord of Yining just saw that his sweetheart was enshrined, and he no longer had to call himself a grass citizen in front of his father in the future, so he felt extremely happy, even happier than his father rewarding him with something.

Shi Zhiyi received the order to thank him, and at this time, a eunuch came to report, and Concubine Fu waited outside the imperial study to ask for a meeting.
