Xiang Lingtian just smiled and said nothing when he heard this, while Xiang Qian on the side was bitter in his heart, and said in his heart: "Teacher, teacher, you really can't open any pot." ”

However, what the latter said was not wrong, what really changed Xiang Xiangqian was not only the heavy injury three years ago, but also the words of his imperial uncle!"

He still remembered that his imperial uncle was still a hundred meters away from him, looking at himself who was slumped on the ground, covered in blood, the imperial uncle didn't make any moves, just stared at him coldly, but it made his hair stand on end, as if he was being watched by an ancient beast, and a low and cold voice came in the latter's ear.

"Remember, you are the man of the Xiang family, the son of Xiang Lingfeng, the future lord of the Fengyun country, if you don't do well, I will kill you, your father will not blame me at all, and he will immediately canonize a new prince. ”

That sentence made Xiang Qian's heart, which was originally full of fear, resentment and revenge, boil endlessly, as if it was suddenly frozen by ice and snow, his blood was stiff and could barely flow, and a chill from the depths of his heart spread throughout his body.

Recalling the feeling at the beginning, Xiang Qian, who was holding the wine glass, couldn't help but tremble slightly at the moment.

After gossiping with Xiang Qian and Xiang Fei'er about the body of His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial capital Dragon City and the recent situation of the princes, Xiang Lingtian turned his head to look at the silver-haired old man who had been eating and drinking with a sullen head and an excellent appetite, and Wan Bing, the generalissimo of the dynasty!

"Marshal Wang, are the Austrian Island countries and the Rizhen countries in the two sea basins in the southeast still stirring up trouble and disturbing the stability of our borders?"

When the majestic old man who was originally holding a big elbow in his hand and was eating happily heard this, he immediately put down the food in his hand and looked at Xiang Ling Tiandao with a serious and respectful expression.

"Thanks to the prince's troubles, the southeast direction does not have such a strong deterrent power as the prince's northwest army, although the two countries of Nandao and Rizhen are only two island countries, they often ignore the national prestige of our country, and often send pirates and rogues to our southeast border to cause chaos. ”

"Although I have ordered people to send troops to garrison the coast, but this group of guys is cunning and unusual, and often pretends to be woodcutters and fishermen, and wanders along the coast. ”

When Wan Bing mentioned the two countries of Nandao and Rizhen, his expression was both worried and angry, and the expression on his face was extremely ugly.

Xiang Lingtian was busy comforting when he heard this: "Old marshal, what are you talking about, your old man has led troops to fight for more than 40 years, and he has already contributed enough to the country, and now the rogue pirates on the southeast border are a hidden danger that has accumulated for a long time, how can it be blamed on your head." ”

Xiang Lingtian was the most powerful vassal king of the dynasty, holding half of the military power of the entire Fengyun Kingdom, and the military power he controlled was more than the actual generalissimo of the Fengyun Kingdom, but for the latter, Xiang Lingtian did not have the slightest arrogance and contempt.

Wan Bingnai is a veteran of the two dynasties, following the Taizu Xiang Mingyuan of the Fengyun Kingdom to fight on the battlefield for many years, not to mention outstanding achievements, in an encounter, in order to cover Xiang Taizu's retreat, he personally led his two sons to form a dead soldier to fight with the enemy.

In the end, the whole army fought to the end, and his two sons were all killed in battle, and he was seriously wounded and almost unconscious, so in order not to be captured by the enemy, the latter raised his sword and was about to kill himself, but was rescued by the reinforcements who arrived.

In this way, the latter lost his two sons forever, but Wan Bing did not have the slightest complaint, he was still loyal to Fengyun Country, and he did his best, in his words, "Since his son died on the battlefield, Lao Tzu can't rest assured, and he can be shrouded in horse leather at any time!"

The latter, whether it is meritorious service or dedication to the country, is worthy of his current high position and the respect that everyone respects him, including Xiang Lingtian.

However, after listening to Xiang Lingtian's comfort, Wan Bing did not have the slightest hint of relief.

He said worriedly: "Lord, people have no long-term worries must have near worries, now worries have appeared, if not dealt with in time, it will inevitably become a disaster in the future, this Austrandic island country and the country of Rizhen are the throat of the southeast sea of my country, is an important position bordering the middle of the continent, is not only a commercial channel, but also a military fortress, if it is not cured, I am afraid that the two countries will become bigger in the future, it is not as simple as harassing our borders." ”

"That's why I'm so worried, feeling that I'm useless as a generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and I can't even pull out this cancer on the map of our Fengyun country. ”

Listening to the old marshal's heartfelt exclamation, the original joyful atmosphere on the table was suddenly swept away, and everyone's expressions unconsciously became gloomy.

Under Xiang Lingtian's elegant face, the slender sword-like eyebrows converged slightly, and they finally wrinkled together at this moment, as if they were a heavenly thunder that could not be triggered, and once they were touched, they would be earth-shattering.

After being silent for a long time, Xiang Lingtian said to Marshal Wan Bing: "Marshal, give me a year, you first stabilize the situation on the southeast border, and after a year, I will implore the emperor to transfer me to the southeast border, and at that time, let me come and meet the rogues of this archipelago country for a while." ”

"Ah......h

As soon as he heard Xiang Lingtian's words, Wan Bing, who originally had a sad look on his face, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed a look of surprise!

"Lord Wang, are you really going to the southeast border?"

Not only Wan Bing, but even Wang Wenjing, Xiang Qian, Xiang Fei'er, Xiang Jinglei, Xiang Jinghongji, and a number of county guards guarding the northwest all showed surprise.

Xiang Lingtian is the king side by side and is also known as the king of the northwest, because of his sitting, there is no riot in the entire northwest, even in the northwest border, no one dares to provoke trouble.

Therefore, if the king of the side by side wants to leave for the southeast border, the impact is self-evident, and it is a major event related to the safety of the country.

Xiang Lingtian nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, but I need a year to deploy the military forces in the northwest to prevent riots during my absence." ”

"Lord Wang, will this affect the stability of the northwest?" Wan Bing heard that Xiang Lingtian was going to the southeast border in person, and he was indeed even happy in his heart, but he was still a little worried about the stability of the northwest.

"It doesn't matter, the situation in the northwest has stabilized now, and those guys don't dare to mess around while I'm not there, unless they really want to lose the country, and this trip to the southeast, I estimate that it can be over in less than half a year, these two island countries...... I think it's supposed to be gone. ”

Xiang Lingtian's words were like a cold invisible wind, blowing everyone cold, and goosebumps couldn't stop popping up.

Everyone couldn't help but show a look of horror at the same time, the latter meant that it would only take half a year to be able to pacify the Antstrian Island Country and the Rizhen Country that had been in the Calamity Country for more than ten years, which was a bit too appalling.

"So good, very good!"

If Xiang Lingtian's words were said by someone else, Wan Bing, the veteran of the two dynasties and the generalissimo of the military attaché, would go up and spit on him twice, and then greet him with a big mouth, scolding the other party for the toad and yawning - the tone is too big!

However, when these words came out of Xiang Lingtian's mouth, they made this old marshal feel sincerely surprised and gratified, because he believed in the latter's strength, and even more believed in the latter's temperament to do what he said!

Since it was Xiang Lingtian who said that he would pacify the two countries within half a year, then this period would only be less and not more, not for anything else, just because this person was Xiang Lingtian, the god of war of the Fengyun Country, even Wan Bing sighed at the existence of Furu!

"Haha...... Lord Wang, the old minister respects you a cup!" The haze on Wan Bing's original face was swept away, as if a 10,000-pound boulder in his heart had finally landed, and it was indescribably happy.

This old marshal Wan Bin is indeed a straightforward person, as soon as the problem is solved, he immediately smiles and eats and drinks, but this also makes the atmosphere of the birthday banquet become hot again.

At the wine table, Xiang Qian, Xiang Jinghong, and Xiang Jinglei had a very happy conversation, while Xiang Fei'er listened to Wang Wenjing, the left minister on the side, tell some interesting anecdotes about the folk government and the opposition, and the old marshal Wan Bing and a group of county guards toasted Xiang Lingtian one after another, and the atmosphere was even happy.

When everyone's mood was high, the old marshal blushed, looked at the crown prince Xiang Qian and the princess Xiang Fei'er with a smile and said: "His Royal Highness the prince, His Royal Highness the princess, everyone is so happy, why don't you take this opportunity to present the congratulatory gifts you have prepared for the prince, so that everyone can open their eyes, I heard that the two of you have spent a lot of effort to prepare." ”

According to the practice of the royal elders to celebrate their birthdays in the past, the juniors will prepare their own gifts, whether out of respect or to please the elders, and at the banquet, they will personally present to the elders and offer birthday greetings to express their blessings to the elders.

Because of the different personal minds and different ideas, the gifts often have new ideas, but the guests present are quite curious, hearing the proposal of the old marshal, Wang Wenjing, the left minister, and a number of county guards are all agreed.

Hearing this, the crown prince Xiang Qian was also not easy to refuse, so he smiled and said: "This palace has indeed prepared a gift for the imperial uncle, and I planned to present it to the imperial uncle after the banquet. ”

After that, Xiang Qian just gestured to an attendant behind him, and after a while, someone immediately brought up a tray, and a brocade box was placed in the plate, and the prince Xiang Qian took the brocade box, opened the lid of the box with both hands, and pulled out a scroll from it!

Xiang Qian held the scroll in one hand and the hem of the scroll in the other, and slowly unfolded the entire scroll in front of everyone.

The eye is a pair of ink-colored brush Chinese painting, the lower end is unfolded, faintly visible is the undulating mountains, some are as low as the plain, some go straight into the green underworld, some are gentle, some are steep and precipitous, the green pines and cypresses on the top, lush and vibrant.

The continuous mountains unfold with the picture scroll, rolling and undulating, among which there are rivers converging and flowing, there are more than 1,000 large and small boats, the boatman holding the oars on the boat, the boy holding the teapot, and the master sitting on the ground, which are clearly visible.

And above the sky, a touch of the rising sun rises in the east, the glow is thousands of miles, the sea of clouds is churning, and there are eagles spreading their wings and flocks of birds flying!

At the end of the scroll, there are also eight powerful characters written "Dingguo Anbang, longevity without borders"!

"Good ......!"

Almost at the moment when this picture scroll was completely opened, Wang Wenjing, the left minister who was staring at it on the side, couldn't help but exclaim, even when Wang Xiang Lingtian saw this painting, his eyes lit up, and he was obviously quite amazed by this picture scroll.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, such an extraordinary majestic picture scroll, I am afraid that I have only seen two people in my life who can make such a picture scroll, one is Song Wen, the national hand of the Mo country, known as the poetry and painting, and the other is Yi Xunqian, the lord of the Yue country, whose painting style is unique, and the calligraphy is even more self-contained, which can be called the grandmaster level!"

Xiang Qian nodded at Wang Wenjing when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, when it comes to calligraphy and painting, you can't hide anything from your teacher!"

The latter stood up, personally held the ends of the scroll with both hands, and saluted in the direction of Xiang Lingtian: "Uncle Huang, my nephew knows that you like Mobao, this time in order to congratulate you on your birthday, I specially went to the country of Mexico, and invited their national player Song Wen, who has been in history for three months, to make a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for you!"

"Uncle Huang, you are for the country and the people, protect the great rivers and mountains of my country, my nephew wishes you happiness like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, and forever protect my country!"

After Xiang Qian finished speaking, he bowed straight towards Xiang Lingtian, bowed deeply and handed over the scroll with both hands.

Xiang Lingtian looked at the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains handed over by Xiang Qian, a subtle light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of the latter's mouth hooked up with a smile of relief and nodded: "Okay, I accepted it, the Xiang family's rivers and mountains, I will defend them forever." ”

After speaking, Xiang Lingtian also took the picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the painting with both hands!

Seeing Xiang Lingtian accept the scroll, Wang Wenjing glanced at the latter quietly, and then glanced at the crown prince Xiang Gan, who glanced at him.

At this time, suddenly a sharp gaze instantly locked on Wang Wenjing, causing the hairs on the latter's back to stand on end in an instant, and his breathing was stagnant, like a sword against his throat, and the steel needle against his eyebrows, extremely terrifying!
