Chapter 129: Meeting the Human Emperor
Tianyun glanced at me and said, "To be honest, I'm really afraid that he will disagree. Yours, son, it will never be my turn to embarrass him, he is giving me problems. If it weren't for his appearance, I wouldn't have worried about the demons and beasts at all, but it would be different with him. His skill has grown so fast that I am simply dumbfounded, and it won't be long before there will be no more opponents for him on the mainland, so I have to think about it carefully. ”
The mother nodded and said, "Okay, Xiang'er's affairs will trouble you." ”
Tianyun said to me: "Lei Xiang, let's go." ”
I was stunned and said, "I, why am I going?"
Tianyun smiled: "Of course you entered the palace with me, why do you want to meet Your Majesty, otherwise, how can I convince him?"
I said helplessly: "Okay, I'll go with you, but okay, you can handle these things." ”
Tianyun nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, I haven't seen His Majesty now for more than twenty years......"
I turned my head to Mo Yue and said, "Yue'er, you have a good rest at home, I will come back soon after a trip with Tianyun." Mother, let's go first. ”
Mother stood up and said, "Xiang'er, mother is ready to cook and wait for you to come back to eat, although mother knows that you don't like to be too public, but as Tianyun's predecessor said, your grand marriage is indeed beneficial, you just listen to Tianyun's senior." ”
I knew that my mother said this because she was afraid that I would clash with Tianyun again, so I comforted her and said, "Don't worry, since I have promised him, I will definitely keep the agreement." When I get married, I will live in seclusion and not let others find me, and then I will be able to live some peaceful life. ”
The mother said, "I'm relieved to do that." Tianyun seniors, strong wind seniors, you go slowly. ”
My mother kept sending us out of the hospital and leaving home, and I was dissatisfied: "You are really good, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Tianyun said indifferently: "If I had told you earlier, your reaction might have been stronger, I know that you are a filial son, and in front of your mother, it will be easier for you to agree." Rest assured, I will try to avoid causing you any trouble when the wedding takes place. ”
I said dejectedly: "You are really scheming, it seems that I can only obey your old man's arrangement." ”
Tianyun sighed and said: "I can't help it, I'm not afraid to tell you, with my current physical condition, I will have a few more decades of life at most, and when the time comes, I can only choose to ascend to the divine realm with the help of my master." Once I enter the divine realm, I can no longer take care of human affairs, so I have to arrange everything. The reason why I made you promise not to invade humans in the future is because I am afraid that after I leave, there will be no one on the mainland who can compete with you. Child, you must also be considerate of my difficulties. ”
Tianyun's compassionate words made the discomfort in my heart disappear: "Don't worry, I don't want to fight, let alone have the ambition to unify the continent, not to mention that I still need to fulfill Theomandis's last wish, we will meet in the divine realm in the future." ”
Li Feng said: "Lei Xiang, to be honest, I admire you very much, you have such a powerful strength at a young age but you are not arrogant, no wonder you can get the inheritance of the mad god." ”
Finally outside the imperial city in the capital, the human architecture is indeed much more exquisite than that of the orcs and demons.
From the outside, the Imperial City is not only majestic, but also full of artistic atmosphere, even the thick walls of the Imperial City, there are exquisite dragon carvings, the gate of the Imperial City is as high as five zhang, guarded by dozens of Imperial City Guards.
The three of us walked to the gate of the imperial city, and were immediately stopped by the guards: "Stop, don't you know that this is the imperial city? ”
Tianyun took a step forward, took out a token from his bosom and handed it out: "I want to see Your Majesty." ”
I peeked in, and saw that the token was a hexagonal shape of an unknown metal, carved with a lifelike wyvern, the dragon's eyes were made of two blue gems that shimmered in the sunlight.
The guard took the token and looked at it, and immediately fell to his knees with a thud, shouting, "See Lord Dragoon." Although he looked respectful, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. All the guards followed him and knelt down.
The position of the Dragoon General in the Dragon God Empire is the most respected except for the king, and even the best high-ranking officials like Zifeng have to give them three points.
Tianyun nodded slightly, and said, "Get up, help me get through, and just say that Tianyun of the Holy Dragon Knights asks to see you." ”
The guard was stunned and lost his voice, "What? You are Lord Tianyun, known as the patron saint of light. ”
Tianyun smiled and said, "What? Am I not like it? ”
"Yes, please wait. With that, the guard quickly ran towards the inner palace.
Tianyun's name is absolutely supreme in the Dragon God Empire, especially after the Dragon God King declared the Holy Dragon Knights as the First Legion of the Protector of the Kingdom, the Guardian Spirit of Light, which had been silent for many years, was once again known to mankind.
After a few moments, my keen hearing told me that there were a large number of humans moving around the Imperial City.
Tianyun glanced at me and said, "It's here." ”
Sure enough, the gate of the imperial city was opened, and two teams of guards ran out of it, separated from each other, and three people walked out of it, and in the center was the supreme ruler of the Dragon God Empire that Zi Xue and I saw outside the city - King Zi Yan.
He was wearing a dragon robe, with a crown on his head, and his face was excited.
On the left is Ziyan, the crown prince of the current dynasty, a wise young man who was very kind to me at the beginning, wearing a white robe embroidered with a golden dragon.
On the right side of Zi Yan, it was Duke Zi Feng, and the group of three hurriedly walked out.
Zi Yan's gaze was the first to face Tianyun, he walked a few steps forward, and said excitedly: "Captain Tianyun, it's really you, just now the guard reported it, I thought he was wrong." ”
Tianyun bowed and said, "Chen Tianyun has seen Your Majesty. ”
Zi Yan held Tianyun with both hands and said, "Commander, you're welcome, I'm so happy that you're here." He turned his head to see Li Feng and said: "This is the deputy head of Li Feng, I also had a relationship with you back then, so many years have passed, I am old, but you have not changed, you are still so heroic." ”
Li Feng laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite, I'm also old, and I can't compare to a young man." As he spoke, he glanced at me.
Zi Yan's gaze fell on me with the strong wind, and he was stunned for a moment, and said, "Who is this?"
I smiled slightly, bowed down and said, "Grass people Lei Xiang see Your Majesty." ”
Although we met at the beginning, how could a king who was so wise remember me as a little person?
Tianyun said: "Your Majesty, I brought him here, this time I came to the capital, there are some things I want to discuss with you, this matter is related to Lei Xiang, so I brought him to see you." ”
Prince Ziyan and Duke Zifeng stepped forward to salute at the same time, and because Tianyun's name was too big, their expressions were very respectful.
When Zi Feng's gaze fell on me, he couldn't help frowning, but there were so many big people here, and he didn't say anything.
Ziyan and Tianyun walked with their arms together, and we all followed behind, and Prince Ziyan came to my side and said, "Brother Lei, do you remember me?"
I nodded and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how can I not remember you." ”
Ziyan said with some dissatisfaction: "You promised me to come to the palace to find me, why didn't you come now?"
I smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to come, it's because something delayed." ”
At this time, the voice of the purple wind came from my ears: "Lei Xiang, what's going on, you disappeared for a month, how could you enter the palace with the head of Tianyun?"
I turned my head to look at him, and said, "If you don't find a big person to help me match, how can you marry Zi Yan and Zi Xue to me in a down-to-earth manner?"
Zifeng was taken aback and said, "You mean, Captain Tianyun came to help you ...... this time."
I nodded slightly and said, "You'll find out later." ”
While speaking, our group had already entered the main hall, Zi Yan personally brought chairs to Tianyun and Li Feng, and I also had a seat.
Zi Yan instructed his subordinates: "Go and tell the imperial dining room and let them prepare the best state banquet, today I will entertain the head of Tianyun, and everyone else should retreat." ”
There were only a few of us left in the main hall, Zi Yan's excitement was still maintained, and he said to the sky: "Commander, you haven't been out of the mountain for many years, right? This time, you must stay for a few more days, so that our juniors can ask for more advice!"
Tianyun smiled slightly and said, "Contributing to the Empire is what I should do, except for that time, I have been in the Riel Mountains for almost a hundred years. I can't ask for advice, but I finally came out once, and if there is anything I can help with, I will definitely not refuse. ”
In the Dragon God Empire, he is probably the only one who dares to talk to the king like this.
Crown Prince Ziyan said: "Captain Tianyun, is there something going on in the empire? ”
Tianyun looked at the crown prince with satisfaction, obviously appreciating his shrewdness: "It's not a big deal, I came to the capital this time, first, I want to see how our empire is developing under the leadership of Your Majesty, and there is another thing I want to ask Your Majesty for help." ”
Zi Yan said angrily: "Commander, you said, as long as it is your request, I will not refuse it." ”
I said secretly, here, Tianyun is about to get to the point.
Sure enough, Tianyun stood up, walked to Ziyan's throne, and said, "Your Majesty, I came out of the mountain this time because I was invited by Lei Xiang. Be a matchmaker for him, and I want to ask Your Majesty to invite Duke Zifeng here. ”
Zifeng was stunned, took a step forward, and said, "Captain Tianyun, there is Zifeng below." ”
King Ziyan said: "Oh, little brother Lei Xiang's face is really big, even if I go out, I may not be able to invite the head of the regiment, but you actually did it." ”
At this point, I couldn't sit any longer, stood up, walked to Tianyun's side, and said, "Your Majesty, if you say that, you will kill me." ”
Tianyun smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I want to say a few words to Duke Zifeng, please agree." ”
Zi Yan said: "Commander, please speak." ”
Tianyun turned to face Zi Feng and said, "Lord Duke, I heard Lei Xiang say that you have two daughters, named Zi Yan and Zi Xue, right?"
Zi Feng nodded and said, "Yes, Captain Tianyun." ”
Tianyun said: "I heard Lei Xiang say that he and your two daughters are in love with each other and want to marry them. I have some fate with Lei Xiang, and I want to be this matchmaker for him, I wonder if you can give me this face and fulfill them?"
Zi Feng glanced at me and said, "Captain Tianyun, you spoke, I should have agreed, but Lei Xiang himself is ......"
Tianyun smiled, "I know. I know that Lei Xiang has orc blood, but he also has human blood, doesn't he? ”
Both Zi Yan and Zi Yan's gazes fell on me in surprise, as if they were very interested in my orc blood.
Under the pressure of Tianyun, Zifeng nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, since you said so, the head of the regiment, I can only agree." ”
Tianyun said: "Lord Duke, I can assure you on behalf of Lei Xiang that your daughter will not suffer a loss if she marries him." He turned to King Ziyan and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is rude. ”
Zi Yan frowned and said, "Leader, you said Lei Xiang is an orc......?"
Tianyun said: "Your Majesty, Lei Xiang is indeed an orc, he is not only an orc, but also a hybrid of humans, demons, and orcs, and he also has an identity, that is, the current commander-in-chief of the entire army of the orc country." ”
As soon as Tianyun's words came out, except for me and Li Feng, everyone else lost their voices at the same time: "What?" Even Zi Feng didn't know my status in the orc country, let alone Zi Yan and Zi Yan.
Zi Yan's face suddenly sank, and he looked at me with some vigilance.
Tianyun said indifferently: "Your Majesty, you should know about the dispute between the demon clan and the orc clan a few days ago. Lei Xiang was involved, and it was he who led the orc army, which was weaker than his opponent, to occupy a province of the demons, and forced the demons to change their attitude towards the orcs. His father was the dead King of Beamon, Leo. ”
Zi Yan stood up from the throne, walked in front of Tianyun, and said, "Captain Tianyun, since he is the enemy's person, why did you still bring him here. I believe that you are absolutely loyal to the Empire, however, I would like you to give me an explanation. ”
Tianyun smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation." First of all, although Lei Xiang is the commander-in-chief of the entire army of the Orc Country, he has no ill will towards humans, and he himself has human blood. He has also promised me that he will not do anything to endanger my Dragon God Empire for the rest of his life. Secondly, I brought him here this time to be this matchmaker for him, just for the sake of peace on the mainland. Your Majesty, there is something I must tell you. With Lei Xiang's current strength, there is no one in the empire who can compete with him except me. Even I may not be able to beat him. With such a formidable opponent, do you choose to cooperate or to choose hostility?"
Zi Yan looked at Tianyun in surprise and said, "You, are you saying that his skills are similar to yours?"
Tianyun nodded and said, "Moreover, his progress is so fast, even I am surprised. I have an idea, if it can be realized, it can ensure the peace of the empire for a hundred years, and there will be no more wars with demons and orcs, so that the lives caused by the war can be avoided. And this idea is based on Lei Xiang's marriage. Your Majesty, you should be able to understand why I brought him here, right?"
Ziyan seemed to be unable to accept this reality for a while, and looked at me in a daze, his face extremely solemn.
I took a few steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, Tianyun is right, my mother is a human being. I have promised her that I will never lead troops against humans. I can vouch for that. At the same time, my love for Duke Zifeng's two daughters is completely sincere. Before coming here, I had already discussed with the head of Tianyun, hoping to use this wedding to make the three clans reach a peace agreement, so that there would be no more disputes between humans, demons, and orcs. ”
Zi Yan took a deep breath and said to the sky: "Commander, I still can't believe that Lei Xiang will have the same strength as you, how can it be at his current age? I don't want this incident to end up with a tiger, how can you trust me to live a ......"
Hearing him say this, I suddenly became angry, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, you must know that this matter is not harmful to your Dragon God Empire, and it is not my intention, if it were not for Tianyun's repeated requests, I would not agree." If you're in doubt, it's better to leave this matter at that. ”
"Lei Xiang. Tianyun glanced at me, "Your Majesty, can you please listen to me? Don't jump to conclusions so quickly." My plan is to let Lei Xiang's wedding be held outside the Stroo Fortress, and counting the two beloved daughters of the Duke, he has a total of four confidantes, including the Demon Emperor's favorite daughter. When the time comes, the Beast Emperor and the Demon Emperor will definitely be there. All of us in the Holy Dragon Knights will protect you and the Empire from the safety of the Empire. Your Majesty, can't you trust the old minister?"
There was a hesitation in Ziyan's eyes, it seemed that he still cared about my identity.
Tianyun continued: "Lei Xiang told me that after he got married, he would live in seclusion and not ask about the world, and the minister could go with peace of mind. Lei Xiang is a good boy with a sense of justice, and I can trust him. ”
Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Commander, what do you mean by going?"
Tianyun sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is a human being, and there is always a limit to the lifespan of human beings, and they will always die." Before I die, I want to make the empire more stable. ”
Zi Yan was taken aback and said, "Commander, you mean ......"
Tianyun said gloomily: "Yes, the minister's life will not be long." I hope that you can look at the little contribution that Lao Chen has made to the empire over the years, and promise this matter, if this matter is completed, the empire will not have to worry about it. ”
Tianyun, this old guy is really powerful, he told me just now that he can live for decades, but now he has become a short life, I really don't know which of his words is true, it seems that I was fooled just now.
I rushed to the sky and said, "Your Dragon God Empire has nothing to worry about, are you still afraid that I will regret it?"
Tianyun said: "No, I believe in you, but, don't you want less senseless sacrifices on the mainland?"
Zi Yan looked at Zi Feng and said, "Duke, what do you mean?"
Zi Feng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what the head of Tianyun said is very right, I also believe that the demon and beast clans will not have any tricks. At the same time, I also trust Lei Xiang. By now, the minister has to say, you should remember, you also have a sister, right?"
Zi Yan's face changed, and he said, "You mean Sister Yun who disappeared at the beginning?"
Zifeng nodded and said, "Yes, the minister once told you about the relationship between the minister and Princess Ziyun before, you should still remember it." Not long ago, Chen finally found Princess Ziyun, who was Lei Xiang's mother. Speaking of which, you are still Lei Xiang's uncle, so I absolutely believe that Lei Xiang will not endanger my country. ”
Zi Yan was overjoyed and said, "You mean Yun Mei is still alive?" He was so excited that his hands trembled slightly, and his originally majestic image suddenly had a little more color.
Zifeng nodded, "Yes, and it's in the capital right now." ”
I frowned and said, "Your Majesty, my mother is living well now, and I don't want her to be disturbed." ”
Zi Yan glanced at me, his eyes were a little complicated, he just looked at me like this, for a long time, he sighed, and said, "Child, you still call me uncle." ”
My heart moved, and I immediately understood that he had accepted me, and I fell to my knees and said, "I've seen my uncle." ”
Zi Yan helped me up and said, "Although I am a few years older than your mother, our brother and sister have been together since childhood, and the emperor only has our two children. ”
There was a hazy look in his eyes, and he seemed to recall the past of his childhood: "I only have this one sister, after she disappeared with the emperor, we searched almost all over the empire, and sent capable people to the demon and beast tribes to look for it several times, but there was never her whereabouts, I didn't expect that she was still alive, great, really good." Lei Xiang, why didn't your mother come to see me?"
Ziyan's affection for his mother made me feel good about him, and I recognized this uncle even more.
I sighed and said, "Mother's heart is very serious, she often says that she has no face to see her relatives again, not to mention that you are now the king of a country, so ......"
Zi Yan said angrily: "What is she talking about, no matter when, she will always be my sister." No, I must see her, I will take her back to the palace. ”
Zifeng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't think this matter is appropriate. Princess Ziyun, what she wants most now is a comfortable life, and the palace is probably not suitable for her. ”
I nodded, "That's what the Duke said. ”
Tears appeared in Zi Yan's eyes, and he said painfully: "Sister Yun, you have suffered. Lei Xiang, since you are my nephew, I don't have any doubts, just do what Captain Tianyun said. My uncle is like a mother, a child, if there is anything you say in the future, my uncle will definitely help you solve it. Duke, is it okay for my nephew to be your son-in-law?"
Seeing that Zi Yan didn't insist on seeing his mother anymore, Zi Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, actually, the minister originally planned to marry his daughter to Lei Xiang, and the relationship between them is no longer something that I, a father, can change." ”
Zi Yan laughed and said, "Okay, good, today is really a happy day, not only ushered in the head of Tianyun, but also found my sister, and my nephew also has a home, great." Lei Xiang, when you get married, stay in the capital. If you want to enter the court, your uncle will definitely give you a satisfactory official position. ”
He is still trying to woo me, after all, I have the rank of commander-in-chief of the entire orc army, I shook my head and said: "There is no need to enter the court, Your Majesty, after I get married, I will take my wife to look around the mainland, and I will not hold any more positions, if I have time, I will definitely come back to see you often." ”
Zi Yan glanced at Tianyun and said, "Okay, I won't force you." Captain Tianyun, you can continue to talk about Xiang'er's marriage, how can my nephew's marriage be a little grander, and the demon and beast clans must not be underestimated. ”
Tianyun smiled at me and said: "In this case, the date is set in three months, this time is enough for us to prepare, this time is indeed to be done more grandly, I plan to meet with the Demon Emperor and the Beast Emperor before the wedding is officially held, and negotiate the peace talks, and the specific details will be troubled by the defenders of the Strou Fortress Zhang Luo." In a few days, I will go directly to the other side to make arrangements, set a specific date and report back to you. ”
Zi Yan nodded and said, "Okay, that's it." Captain Tianyun, I have just ordered the following to prepare a state banquet, the reason why the Dragon God can have today's situation is that it is largely due to the merits of you and the Holy Dragon Knights, I must have a good drink with you today. ”
Tianyun smiled and said, "That minister is disrespectful." ”
I stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I won't attend this state banquet, when I came out, my mother had already started preparing lunch for me, and after leaving for a while, I wanted to have a good reunion with her old man." ”
Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, greet her for me." ”
I nodded and said, "I will, uncle, then I'll go back first." ”
Tianyun said: "Lei Xiang, I will definitely handle the wedding matter, and I will go to you in a few days." ”
"Thank you then. On the word thank you, I deliberately accentuated the tone.
Out of the palace gate, I was relieved, my heart fluctuated, I suddenly had a feeling of panic, as if something would happen at this wedding, shook my head vigorously, to make myself sober.
Alas, it's hard not to be famous this time.
My mother was part of the reason why I didn't attend the state banquet, and in addition, I really wanted to see my beloved Zi Yan and Zi Xue as soon as possible, and after being away for a while, I missed them very much.
I thought I wouldn't have to be separated from them when I came back this time, but I didn't expect that I would have to go to the orc country and the demon clan separately for the wedding, and I really didn't know how to explain to them.
I quickly returned home, pushed the door straight in, and as soon as I entered, I heard a silver bell-like laughter coming from inside the wooden house, and I don't know who was so happy.
I walked to the wooden house in three steps and two steps, and the door just opened, and because I was too fast, I suddenly collided with the white sword that had just run out of the door, and I saw that her face was flushed, and she looked extremely cute.
I subconsciously hugged her delicate body and said, "Sister Jian'er, what's wrong with you?"
Her body was unusually soft, like holding a ball of cotton, very comfortable, and I couldn't help but increase the strength of my hug.
As soon as Bai Jian saw me, her face turned even redder, and under my embrace, she threw herself on top of me and whispered, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, they make fun of me." ”
Zixue's figure flashed out of the room, and when she saw me, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "Lei Xiang, you're back." Sister Jian'er, you've found the umbrella, haha. ”
Bai Jian lay on top of me and refused to get up, buried her face in my arms, she exuded a faint fragrance, which made me feel a wave in my heart, and smiled at Zixue: "Xue'er, why did you bully Sister Jian'er?"
Zixue ran over and hugged my arm, and said, "I didn't bully Sister Jian'er, just now my uncle went to cook for you from the kitchen, and we are here to discuss who misses you the most." In the end, my sister and I decided at the same time that it must be Sister Jian'er who misses you the most, and she ran out. ”
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder the tender-faced white sword has such a reaction.
I bowed my head and said, "Sister Jian'er, do you miss me?"
Bai Jianqiao raised her head with a flushed face, glanced at me, struggled out of my arms, and said, "I...... I went to help my mother cook. With that, he turned around and fled.
Bai Jian's shy appearance caused Zi Xue to laugh like a silver bell again. Zi Yan and Mo Yue also walked out when they heard our conversation.
I hugged Zixue and said to Zi Yan, "Yan'er, don't you have to go to class today? ”
Zi Yan blushed and said, "Who has a heart with you, we come over to eat every day at noon, my aunt's cooking skills are good, we have a good mouth." ”
She said so, but I didn't know they came here every day because of me.
I kissed Zixue lightly on the cheek and said, "Let's go, let's go in, it should be time to eat soon." ”
