Chapter 242: The Emperor's Wedding
"Oh! Why? When Ye Tianlong heard this, he asked a little strangely, after all, Li Rufeng is not a nobleman, why is this not qualified to marry anyone else except him?
Facing Ye Tianlong's question, Song Jiang replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, you want it!" The generals and soldiers of our Qinglong Empire, the martial arts are basically taught by Duke Li Rufeng, it can be said that the ancestor of martial arts is recognized by the Qinglong Empire, and his prestige in the army is so high! It is humble to say that it is a hundred responses. Such a female general with great prestige and influence in the army, who is qualified to marry except Your Majesty? ”
Ye Tianlong listened to Song Jiang's explanation and felt that it was very reasonable, and he felt that the other party might not have said a word, that is, who would dare to marry besides him! In addition to him, if anyone else dares to marry Li Rufeng, there is a chance that they will have different intentions.
From this point of view, his master Li Rufeng can really only marry himself! Thinking of this, Ye Tianlong couldn't help laughing out loud in his heart.
On the surface, he still maintained a serious appearance, and said to Song Jiang: "Old Song, what you said is indeed very reasonable!" That's what I thought, too. When you get back, you can convince the others to do this, and if you can help me with this, I will promote you to duke, and I will also promote you to deputy prime minister!" ”
Song Jiang listened to the cake drawn by Ye Tianlong, and couldn't help but be moved, after all, he was an official fan, Ye Tianlong gave him this cake that was promoted to the rank of lord, which can be said to hit him directly by seven inches, so that this timely rain could not be calm.
So in the next second, Song Jiang immediately assured Ye Tianlong excitedly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Xia Guan will definitely do his best, so that you can hold the beauty!" ”
After agreeing with Song Jiang about this matter, Ye Tianlong didn't have the heart to continue fishing here, so he simply collected the fishing rod and went back to the city with Song Jiang.
And just when Ye Tianlong and Song Jiang had just returned to Tokyo City, they got the news that he expected, that is, the Black Panther group wanted to surrender completely.
Speaking of which, these guys were not ready to surrender completely, after all, in their opinion, those demons were already in a good situation, and if they took refuge in the Blue Dragon Empire, they would probably be liquidated by the demon lord afterwards, so it was better to carry it and wait for the demon lord to save them after he found out that something was wrong.
But the black panther didn't expect that Ye Tianlong actually succeeded in destroying the dark spire in this virtual small world, and successfully suppressed the expansion of the demons' power in this world.
All of a sudden, the Black Panthers were miserable, and they were originally suppressed by the power of the rules of this world, which was very uncomfortable. After the destruction of the Tower of Darkness, the world was suddenly freed from its shackles and was able to use more power to suppress them.
Under the suppression of that terrifying world power, the Black Panthers even felt that their strength and cultivation were gradually fading. In contrast, Arrow Ji, who has completely joined the army of the Blue Dragon Empire, has been recognized as an ally by the world consciousness, and is no longer suppressed in any way, and can fully exert her full strength.
After holding on for a period of time, the Black Panthers finally couldn't stand the constant suppression and consumption of the power of the world day and night, and had no choice but to surrender to Ye Tianlong.
The eight members of the Black Panther Mercenary Regiment who were captured were all masters of the innate martial arts level, and Ye Tianlong still attached great importance to the surrender of such a group of people, and immediately asked the jailer who came to report the news to take him to meet the Black Panther and them.
Seeing this group of guys again, Ye Tianlong found that including the strongest black panther, they were already tortured to the point that their eyes were blank and their bodies were emaciated, no wonder this group of guys couldn't bear it and chose to completely join the Blue Dragon Empire!
However, in order to prevent these guys from backing up later, Ye Tianlong asked people to get a few master-servant contracts, once they signed on them, then they would be monitored by the Heavenly Dao of this virtual small world, and once the black panther had the idea of wanting to rebel again, this contract would be launched immediately and they would be wiped out.
Black Panther and the others, who had no other choice, stepped forward one by one and obediently signed the contract, and as they finished signing, silver light containing the power of the world's rules shot out from the contract and submerged into the Black Panther and them.
Under the expulsion of this silver light containing the power of the rules of the world, the demonic mark in the black panther and their bodies, which had become a rootless wood, was also completely eliminated, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating on the spot.
The panther insisted, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly, they had just come out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth! Before, those demons were dogs, but now they are just changing masters, this Qinglong Empire Emperor Ye Tianlong is not a simple role at first glance, and it may be difficult for them to paddle and fish in the future.
After accepting the allegiance of Black Panther and others, Ye Tianlong returned to the palace, gathered many civil and military generals, and announced his decision to marry his master Li Rufeng.
After this decision was announced, the expressions of everyone in the hall ranged from surprise to indifference, and some directly began to strongly oppose it.
Facing those guys who wanted to oppose him in the court, Ye Tianlong immediately gave Song Jiang a look.
In order to be able to get promoted to the rank of knight smoothly, Song Jiang immediately stood up and persuaded these colleagues with the theory he had told Ye Tianlong before.
After being surprised, Pharmacist Guo immediately helped Song Jiang persuade other officials, although he joined relatively late, but Pharmacist Guo could see that this Qinglong Empire was the emperor Ye Tianlong, even if it was useless to oppose it at this time, it was better to help persuade some other colleagues to leave a good impression in front of Ye Tianlong, the emperor.
However, some former Song officials were very stubborn, and they all felt that it was unethical for this apprentice to marry his master, and in the face of the persuasion of Song Jiang and Guo Yaoshi and others, not only did they not accept it, but they quarreled fiercely with the other party.
And when the Wenchen generals on the side of the Qinglong Empire quarreled because the emperor wanted to marry the master, the tribes in the Western Xia Kingdom and the Mongolian steppe were miserable, because the demons who escaped from the Jin Kingdom and the Jin soldiers and generals who were parasitic on the demons in their bodies were on the way to the west, and they all aimed at the Western Xia and Mongolia, which had not yet been incorporated into the territory of the Qinglong Empire, as a place for plunder.
Some demons who were close to maturity took advantage of this raid to kill and devour a lot of blood food, and successfully made themselves mature and broke out of their bodies.
And those demons who were already mature made their own strength further by devouring these blood foods.
It's a pity that with the destruction of the Tower of Darkness, these demons also feel that the Heavenly Dao has tightened their monitoring of them, which makes them all partially suppressed by their strength, and fortunately, they are reborn in this world by parasitic the natives of those virtual worlds, so they all have a trace of the original host's breath, which can be used to help them confuse the judgment of the Heavenly Dao, so that they are not as severely suppressed as the Black Panthers.
In order to be able to temporarily avoid the troops of the Blue Dragon Empire and buy enough time for their strength to fully recover, these demons decided to continue to flee all the way away from the Blue Dragon Empire, which was just a supply depot for them on the way.
In the face of the killing and devouring of these demons, the humans in Western Xia and Mongolia could only choose to gather in some big cities with relatively strong defense capabilities to keep warm.
Those demons saw that those humans had already hid in the city, and it was not easy to catch them, so they didn't continue to waste time here, after all, what if the army of the Blue Dragon Empire would soon come again! When the time comes, they will not be caught by the other party.
So these demons soon left Western Xia and Mongolia, and the troops were divided into three routes, and the largest number continued westward, preparing to kill all the way to Europe along the Silk Road of that year. The other road was transferred to the territory of the Tibetan State, preparing to go to India after the looting and killing of Tibet. The last option is to head north to the Siberian region.
These demons are gone, but the humans in the Western Xia and Mongolian regions are still in shock, and finally the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun and the leaders of the Mongolian tribes have decided to simply surrender to the Qinglong Empire and seek the protection of the Qinglong Empire, after all, this time those demons devoured almost half of the population in the two countries in about a month, which really frightened the two countries from civilians to high-level people!
If those demons kill another horse gun after that, I'm afraid that the living people in their country will be completely eaten by these demons!
And now the only one who can shelter them seems to be the Blue Dragon Empire, after all, those demons were obviously expelled all the way here by the Blue Dragon Empire!
So just when Ye Tianlong tried to persuade those officials and began to prepare for his wedding to Li Rufeng, the surrender tables of Western Xia and Mongolia were also sent to Tokyo City by the envoys at the same time.
Officials such as Song Jiang and Guo Yaoshi who liked to pat Ye Tianlong's ass immediately began to sing praises to Ye Tianlong, saying that it was precisely because of the birth of Ye Tianlong, the holy king, in the Central Plains, that the Mongols and the Western Xia Kingdom would surrender without a fight.
In addition, the Mongolian and Western Xia kingdoms came to lower the table at this time, which is also a great auspicious omen! It shows that even God agrees with the wedding of His Majesty and Li Rufeng, so that the time will be calculated to let Mongolia and Western Xia surrender to the Qinglong Empire at this time.
And those officials who were originally strongly opposed to Ye Tianlong marrying his master couldn't help but be a little shaken when they saw this scene, thinking that His Majesty and his master were really a match made in heaven.
In any case, this is a good thing for Ye Tianlong, it can be regarded as a double happiness, while he continued to let people prepare for the wedding with Li Rufeng, and at the same time sent 50,000 regular soldiers and 200,000 militia troops to receive the territories of Western Xia and Mongolia that had surrendered.
After receiving the territories of the two countries that surrendered, Ye Tianlong, in order to appease the high-level leaders of Western Xia and Mongolia, directly gave Li Qianshun a county king, and then took these Xia kings to Tokyo City, so that he could be a rich man with peace of mind, and stop making trouble in the future.
As for the leaders of those Mongolian tribes, according to the size of their power, they also obtained various titles ranging from earls to barons, but compared to those who have obtained titles because of various merits, the titles obtained by these guys are actually empty, and they do not have any official positions and military power, but Ye Tianlong also rewarded them with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and arranged a mansion for these guys in Tokyo City, so that these guys and Li Qianshun, the king of Xia, can be neighbors, and they can usually go back and forth with each other. It's not too lonely.
And not long after these guys were brought to Tokyo City, the wedding of Ye Tianlong and Li Rufeng was finally held, and Li Qianshun and the chieftains of those Mongolian tribes were all present to watch the ceremony and congratulate, and even Duan Heyu, the king of Dali in Yunnan, came to come.
Compared with Li Qianshun, although Duan Heyu is only a county king now, he at least has part of the military and political power of Dali! This is mainly because it surrendered early and knelt very thoroughly, so it got these preferential treatments.
Li Qianshun therefore looked at Duan Heyu's eyes full of jealousy, he has basically lost all his rights now, and he can only eat and wait for death in Tokyo City, if he dares to show a trace of wanting to regain power, Ye Tianlong will definitely directly destroy him to the whole family, after all, the Dajin Kingdom, the Goryeo Kingdom, the Vietnam Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom have already used their own fate to tell the world, this emperor of the Qinglong Empire is not a good-hearted person! It's a ruthless man who will destroy your country at every turn!
So although he was still very unwilling in his heart, Li Qianshun still had to hide these ambitions deep in the deepest for the sake of his own life.
To Li Qianshun's surprise, in the middle of this wedding, Li Rufeng, who was about to become the empress of the Qinglong Empire, actually wanted to have a competition with Ye Tianlong, the emperor, saying that he wanted to see how Ye Tianlong's apprentice was now.
Looking at this posture, it seems that if Ye Tianlong's performance fails to satisfy him, Li Rufeng seems to refuse to marry the other party.
When Li Qianshun saw this scene, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that this woman seemed to be a little ignorant! After all, this is the queen of a country! It's still a powerful empire like the Blue Dragon Empire, and now I don't know how many women want to become the queen of this big empire! She is so blind to toss, isn't she really afraid of tossing her queen position?
And just when he just finished complaining about this sentence in his heart, he suddenly remembered that this woman seemed to be the same as him, and her surname was 'Li'!
Thinking of this, Li Qianshun no longer continued to complain about the other party in his heart, but secretly praised the other party: She is worthy of being a woman of my Li family, she has a personality and is bold, and even the emperor beats her!
