Chapter 117: Monarchs and Ministers
As the only small country in the vast mountain range, the Eternal Night Kingdom has been the ruler of the country, and after a lot of hardships, it is only in the mountains that the only Eternal Night City has been established.
The city is small, but it houses tens of thousands of people who live in the mountains, and it is the capital of eternal night and the only entrance to the outside world and the mountains.
In the center of the capital, there is an old tree that has grown for an unknown number of thousands of years, with lush branches and leaves, and the trunk is as thick as a dozen people.
A strangely shaped palace is located directly below the old tree, and from the outside, it looks like a place where the branches of a large tree come out, rustic and simple, but if you step inside, you will find that there is a cave inside, and the design is ingenious.
In the palace, Shang Yang walked around with his hands behind his back, as if he was very anxious, he glanced at a pair of kneeling figures in the hall, and sighed heavily.
"Daddy, we have made a great contribution this time, in the past few years, the culprit who has frequently invaded us is that poor Qi, you quickly bring more people and horses to destroy it!" said the girl with a smile, as if she did not feel her father's anger at all.
"Hmph, you still have the face to say, if it weren't for Yuan Fei this time, you would have been left with no bones and become the belly of the beast in the mountains!"
Shang Yang pointed at the girl, if it weren't for the fact that he still remembered this and that thing in his heart, he would have to whip this pampered daughter a few times.
"Daddy!" the girl screamed, and when she saw that her father ignored her, she quickly stood up, walked in front of her father, hugged his arm, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, my daughter knows that she is wrong, look at this time, just spare Ah Yue!"
"Who told you to stand up!" Shang Yang glared angrily.
The girl named Ah Yue found that her father was really angry, and hurriedly knelt back and said: "It was my fault for traveling without permission this time, but Yuan Fei not only saved me, but also beat away that poor Qi, Daddy, you must reward him well!"
Shang Yang looked at Yuan Fei, and the wonderful emotions that suddenly surged in his heart only heard him say: "Yuan Fei's reward is my own decision, so I don't need to worry about you, a princess!"
That Yuan Fei knelt in the hall, suddenly fell to the ground, and said: "This time, many warriors who protected the princess died because of this, I hope Your Majesty will take care of the families of those martyrs, and Weichen does not dare to ask for credit!"
Shang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, over the years, there have been a lot of losses and losses, and our Eternal Night Country can no longer withstand such a thing!"
"Shang Xiaoyue, look at the good things you have done! Hurry back to your room, think about it behind closed doors, you are definitely not allowed to come out without my permission!"
Shang Xiaoyue glanced at Shang Yang, and said angrily: "Yes, yes, this time it's all my problem, if you ask me to go back and think about it, then I'll think about it for you, I won't come out again!"
After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and ran out of the main hall.
Shang Yang looked at the girl's departing figure, staring intently, as if he had something to say, but finally held back.
was silent for a while, only to hear Shang Yang seem to say to himself: "Shouldn't I blame her for this matter?"
There were only two people in the hall, Yuan Fei and Shang Yang, Yuan Fei lowered his head and said slowly: "Punished... Somewhat lighter. ”
Shang Yang couldn't help laughing, pointed at Yuan Fei and said, "You stupid boy, he is my daughter, how do you want me to punish her." ”
Yuan Fei replied: "How to punish is Your Majesty's decision, and Weichen can't interfere." It's just that if according to His Majesty's previous character, he was so angry, but he only gave a punishment that he thought about behind closed doors, which is really a bit strange. ”
Shang Yang sighed: "It turns out that you are not a stupid boy, but you are not good!"
"What the hell is going on! is it about the princess?"
Shang Yang walked a few more steps slowly, and suddenly said, "In two days, I plan to send Ah Yue to the Qianlong Empire!"
"Why?"
"Why? What's the reason for this, isn't it worth being happy that an overlord like the Qianlong Emperor has taken a fancy to my Shangyang's daughter and wants her to marry into the palace!"
"However, there are so many subject countries in this world, why did you choose Ah Yue?"
"Maybe the purpose is to marry with our country, maybe the Qianlong Emperor likes the innocence of Ah Yue, or maybe he ......"
"The existence of the Qianlong Empire is actually going to marry our Eternal Night Country, and it seems that all the beauties in the world are dead, so that the Qianlong Emperor can't even pick out a wife, Your Majesty said these possibilities, even you don't believe it!"
"Yuan Fei, I know you like Ah Yue, but there is no way about this matter!"
"Your Majesty, I just want to know why!"
"Yes, I really want to know why, it's just that the Qianlong Empire has already come to the city, and this is forcing me to send my own daughter to them!"
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and only Shang Yang took a few breaths violently, as if he had just experienced a violent exercise.
"Your Majesty, the Qianlong Empire has brought in a large army just to take away your daughter? ”
Shang Yang's eyes looked into the empty space, not knowing what he was thinking, only to hear him say dreamily: "This is my biological daughter, the only bloodline, sending her away, I am more heartbroken than anyone else......"
Yuan Fei looked at Shang Yang's face, which seemed to have become old in an instant, clenched his fists tightly, and did not say the sentence in his heart after all.
An attendant came to the outside of the palace in a panic and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are people outside the palace who are looking for... Find Yuan Fei's commander!"
Shang Yang didn't seem to hear the panic in the attendant's tone, but just said: "Oh, although Yuan Fei is the commander of the guards in the inner city, it is really the first time to find someone to find the palace, who wants to find him and bring him in!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I'm afraid there's something wrong with this!"
"What's wrong?"
"The man, the man rode a tiger, no matter how we stopped it, it just wouldn't come down from above!"
"Oh? I actually came here on a tiger, it must be a strange person in the mountains, this kind of capable person, you still dare to stop it, have you forgotten what I told you before!"
"Yes, yes, the slave knows, so let the guards let him in!"
Shang Yang then turned to Yuan Fei and said, "Yuan Fei, I didn't expect you to know such a stranger, why didn't you introduce me before?"
Yuan Fei didn't even dare to say it, and thought carefully for a while, but he didn't recall at all that he had any intersection with a stranger riding a tiger.
In these mountains, there are not only countless rare beasts, but also some inhumans with strange abilities living in them.
As the monarch of the Eternal Night Country, he naturally knows this kind of secret, that group of people, all of whom have unpredictable power, and a small anger may bring a catastrophe to the Eternal Night Country.
