Chapter 105: Great Credit
Two days later, Han Feng and Xiao Ling came to Tianyue City.
This time, they were accompanied by Zac and Xiaobai, while Brady stayed in Red Leaf City to protect Roman and Shen Yu.
Standing outside the city gate, Xiao Ling looked at the familiar city wall in front of him, and couldn't help but show a complicated look in his eyes. After two years of absence, she returned here, and at the moment she was a little scared.
As if sensing Xiao Ling's uneasiness, Han Feng on the side couldn't help but gently pinch Xiao Ling's soft twing. The latter felt the warmth and a hint of encouragement coming from Han Feng's big hand, and his face was slightly red, but his heart calmed down a little.
Han Feng naturally accepted Xiao Tianbai's invitation to come this trip, Xiao Tianbai said that he would reward him with something, Han Feng naturally had no reason to refuse such a good thing.
And he also hopes that Xiao Ling can bravely face everything in the past, and he doesn't want the past to keep a shadow in her heart.
Then, Han Feng and the others were about to enter the city, but they were unexpectedly stopped by the forbidden army at the gate.
Han Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, after all, the empire had just experienced a war, and Tianyue City, which was Yanjing, must be heavily guarded at this moment, and he also frowned when he looked at the passers-by who were blocked at the gate of the city.
However, the group did not wait long before they saw a group of people hurrying from the city. Han Feng took a closer look, and it was Xiao Chen, who had just been separated.
Xiao Chen hurried to the city gate with a few guards.
When the Praetorian guards guarding the city gates saw this, they saluted.
Xiao Chen didn't pay attention to it, but quickly came to Han Feng and the others, and then stopped.
Seeing Han Feng in front of him, Xiao Chen also saluted quite respectfully, and said: "Mr. Han Feng, you are finally here, my eldest brother just received the news from his subordinates, and originally wanted to come over to greet him in person, but you also know that things in Yanjing are more complicated during this time, and some people can't get out of their way, so they have to send me over." ”
"Your Highness is polite, Han Feng is just an ordinary person, and he can't afford to be so polite to His Highness. Han Feng smiled faintly.
After Xiao Chen finished talking to Han Feng, he found Xiao Ling standing beside Han Feng, his face couldn't help but show a burst of joy, and he said excitedly: "Sister, are you finally willing to come back?" ”
When Xiao Ling heard this, he remembered his mother's voice and smile, and he had mixed feelings for a while. There was a sudden urge in my heart to see them soon.
Xiao Chen knew that this was not the place to speak, so the group walked quickly towards the palace under the surprised gaze of passers-by.
It wasn't until the figures of Han Feng and the others completely disappeared that the few Praetorian Guards who had stopped Han Feng and them just now wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
They had just blocked the big man who even the Third Highness had to treat so respectfully from the city gate, and they heard that the Third Highness seemed to call the only woman among the three sisters as a sister just now.
Doesn't that mean that the woman's identity is a princess?
Thinking of this, the guards just now felt a chill behind their backs, and their hearts were worried.
Regarding the thoughts of these janissaries, Han Feng was naturally not very clear.
As soon as they arrived outside the palace, Xiao Ling was picked up by someone sent by the queen, thinking that they must have heard that their daughter was back, and the queen was anxious to see her daughter after two years of absence, and Han Feng didn't think too much about it.
And Xiao Tianbai, who was originally discussing things with the minister, heard that Han Feng had arrived outside the main hall, and immediately ordered the guards to bring him in.
Soon, Han Feng and Zac slowly appeared in the main hall under the leadership of two guards.
At this time, on both sides of the main hall, countless ministers turned their eyes to the young man who suddenly appeared. Especially the few people who were the first to look at Han Feng carefully with surprise in their eyes.
As Xiao Tianbai's confidants, these people naturally knew that the reason why Cheng Yuanlong, who had rebelled before, was all because of the merits of the young man in front of them.
Thinking of this, the eyes of several people were even more intensely curious.
As for the other ministers, although they also vaguely knew about this matter, they were not very clear after all, and at this time, they naturally looked sideways at Han Feng who entered the main hall.
For the various glances cast on both sides, Han Feng didn't pay too much attention to it.
At this time, he was paying attention to the middle of the hall, the Tianyue Emperor who was wearing imperial clothes and had a majestic face.
This was the first time Han Feng had seen Xiao Tianbai, he was slightly younger than he imagined, and his gestures exuded an emperor-like majesty.
With the atmosphere of this hall, Han Feng really felt that he had to have momentum as an emperor. And this is something that Xiao Yi does not have.
Seeing Han Feng's eyes staring at him, Xiao Tianbai also observed with great interest the young man in front of him who saved the crisis of the empire.
Facing Xiao Tianbai's gaze, Han Feng did not look nervous and uneasy like ordinary people, but looked indifferent and relaxed.
In his eyes, there is not much difference between Xiao Tianbai and ordinary people, if you insist on distinguishing the difference, it is that Xiao Tianbai is Xiao Ling's father, nothing more.
And after some observation, Xiao Tianbai couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, this son has such a calm and calm mentality at a young age, and he will definitely be extraordinary in the future.
Originally, he didn't believe that Han Feng was so young that he could persuade Cheng Yuanlong to defect and resolve the crisis of the empire. But with Han Feng's bearing at the moment, Xiao Tianbai already believed it in his heart.
"You are Han Feng?" Xiao Tianbai asked with a faint smile and a rather gentle tone.
When Han Feng heard this, he looked at Xiao Tianbai who was sitting on it, and replied lightly: "It's exactly below." ”
"Sure enough, the appearance is extraordinary, I want to thank you on behalf of the entire Tianyue Empire this time!" Xiao Tianbai said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the main hall, and everyone turned their eyes to Han Feng in confusion, as if they wanted to see something.
Han Feng didn't pay attention to the gazes of others, but said lightly: "Your Majesty is serious, it's just a gesture." ”
Han Feng was naturally telling the truth, he knew in his heart that even if he didn't have this imperial crisis, the Tianyue Empire would eventually turn the corner, he just let it advance a few days earlier, that's all.
However, now it seems that he has taken advantage of it. Seeing Xiao Tianbai's grateful expression, Han Feng was also quite amused in his heart.
"Don't be modest, you know that it was you who saved the entire Yanjing and even the entire Tianyue Empire. After a pause, Xiao Tianbai didn't seem to see the surprised expressions of the others present, and continued: "If it weren't for your secret help this time, I'm afraid that Tianyue City would have already been bleeding at this moment, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that you are my life-saving benefactor, and this time I will definitely reward you well." ”
Xiao Tianbai waved his hand, not giving Han Feng a chance to refuse at all.
Everyone in the hall was an old man, and they immediately heard a hint from Xiao Tianbai's words, and immediately understood that the changes that had occurred in the rebel army a few days ago must have something to do with the young man in front of him.
Thinking of this, these people looked at Han Feng's gaze, and they turned from doubt to shock.
After Xiao Tianbai said these words, he also stared straight at Han Feng with both eyes, and did not hide the look of appreciation in his eyes. Long before Han Feng arrived in Tianyue City, he had already sent someone to investigate.
After this investigation, Xiao Tianbai suddenly found that there was a mysterious look behind Han Feng. After his analysis, Xiao Tianbai also believed that there must be a mysterious master behind Han Feng.
Moreover, he also knew a little about Han Feng from his two sons and Fei Lao, and knew that Han Feng's surname was calm and introverted, and he had a wide range of knowledge, and his cultivation was not weak.
The important thing is that he is still just a teenager, and with his potential, there is a huge room for growth in the future.
Synthesizing this information, Xiao Tianbai immediately moved his mind to win over Han Feng, after all, in addition to Han Feng's help to the empire this time, the mysterious master behind him and the potential shown by Han Feng were worthy of Xiao Tianbai's wooing, so he had invested a lot of money for this.
Of course, there is also a little bit of selfishness in this, he has already learned from Xiao Yi and Xiao Chen that his daughter, who has just come back and has not had time to meet, seems to like Han Feng in front of him very much, so Xiao Tianbai naturally wants to think more about his daughter.
Next, Xiao Tianbai instructed the guards to read out the things that were given to Han Feng in the same way.
And as the guard reported the same things as they had given, the hall suddenly seemed to be uncovered, and all the ministers were talking about it.
Han Feng, as the person concerned, was also quite shocked after hearing what Xiao Tianbai had rewarded him.
He didn't expect Xiao Tianbai to be so generous, not only to make him a prince, but also to give him Red Leaf City as a territory. What's more, Xiao Tianbai also allowed him to enter the royal treasury and choose two treasures at will.
It was a royal treasury, and as an imperial royal treasury, there must be countless treasures hidden in it.
Compared to the prince's territory or something, Han Feng was more interested in the contents of this royal treasury.
As for the title of the prince, Han Feng didn't care about it at all, because in a few months at most, he would inevitably return to the Heavenly Star Empire, so this false name was completely meaningless to him.
However, Han Feng still felt good about rewarding Red Leaf City to him as a territory, which would be more convenient for Roman's development in the future.
Xiao Tianbai was not verbose, and after finishing the things that had been rewarded to Han Feng, he instructed the guards to lead Han Feng to the royal treasury to pick things first.
Han Feng naturally readily agreed, then saluted, and walked out of the main hall with a guard.
At this time, everyone in the hall still hadn't recovered from Xiao Tianbai's series of rewards just now, and Xiao Tianbai simply ended this court meeting when he saw this.
