Chapter Seventy-Two: The World Is So Big
“......”
"Tomorrow we will start the Nantian Festival....... What should I do now?"
"This ..... Right now..... Huh"
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who were anxious, discussed in the main hall for a whole morning, but failed to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
Emperor Yan Lai frowned from time to time, physically and mentally exhausted. The surging iron horseman stared at it, staring at the poor lamb to be slaughtered in Nanyueguo, and no one could feel it.
A group of loyal courtiers, although there are many suggestions, after all, there are few expedient measures that can alleviate the current situation.
Either it's simple, with heavy gifts to sue for peace, land compensation, bowing down to vassals, etc., the emperor of the capital country with strong soldiers and horses, Hong Tashan, who can only conquer violently, may not be able to look down on these......
Either you can only grieve the princess, and let Her Royal Highness the princess do it for the sake of Nanyue, for the country, and for the people...... Just accept your fate.
There are always some courtiers who are a little bit bloody, who disdain to make humiliating apologies, and do not want to wronged Her Royal Highness the princess, who everyone treats as a treasure. Simply say a majestic word, that is, "dry"!
In this word, there is a unique trend of "swallowing mountains and rivers"!
It's a big deal to exchange life for life, Lao Tzu swears to the death, and desperately resists stubbornly.
But Nanyue has been rich for many years, and the people have been comfortable for many years, so they are not the opponents of this capital country at all. The disparity between the combat strength of the two sides is too great, and often in the end, it is those kind people who suffer.
"Whether it is surrender and surrender, or desperately resist, it is better to marry a wronged Yan'er. Only wronged her, in exchange for the safety of the people of the whole country. can also be friendly with the emperor of the capital country, it seems that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
But now this is happening...... How is this good" Emperor Yan Lai kept recalling the non-stop proclamations of these ministers in his mind. Just when he was feeling irritable, the eunuch on the main hall came to report, saying that it was the envoy of the capital country, and he was asking to see him outside the palace at this time.
Emperor Yan Lai stood up and left the dragon chair, as if he had the intention of going outside the palace and personally greeting the envoys of the Dadu Kingdom.
I saw that the envoy trotted into the middle of the main hall, and without waiting for everyone to speak, he directly bowed respectfully. Bowing his head and bending down, regardless of everyone's doubts, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Nanyue, Weichen is instructed by the Great Khan of my Dadu State, as long as the Great Khan of Dadu State is alive, he is willing to pay tribute to the Emperor of Nanyue every year."
"Adult cattle, a million heads"
"Three million sheep"
"......", etc.
"And solemnly announced to the whole world that most of them are willing to make friends with Nanyue forever to show brotherhood!"
Like a heavy thunderbolt, it fell on the main hall of the Nanyue Kingdom and bombarded everyone's hearts.
“......”
"This ....."
"It's ...... What kind of operation ......" Even the upright Lord Shangshu of the military department, who was still persuading His Majesty just now that "soldiers can be killed, not humiliated", was also confused at this time.
"Is the old man dreaming?" muttered Prime Minister Wang Jin.
"Forehead ......"
The scene was awkward and silent.
The envoy of the Dadu Kingdom secretly raised his head slightly, looked around, looked at the emperor Yan Lai, who opened his mouth slightly and was a little puzzled, and once again bowed his hand: "Your Majesty the Emperor, do you think that our tribute is not very satisfied? If the emperor has any other requirements? Please rest assured, you can put forward it."

In the Imperial Garden, there is an elegant and tranquil octagonal pavilion hidden in the blooming jungle of flowers. There are three figures around the marble carving in the pavilion, placed all kinds of delicate pastries, all kinds of seasonal melons and fruits around the stone table, talking and laughing.
Chen Changfeng held a sword with a golden dragon carving pattern and gently threw it to Yan Xixi: "This is the divine sword called "Dragon Slaying", give it to you, I heard that you also like to find someone to fight, and in the future, you will find someone to fight and learn martial arts, just use this sword, this sword is also, it's okay."
"The body of this sword is dark iron and thin, revealing a faint cold light, and when the sword is drawn out of the sheath, the dragon groans slightly. This "slaying the dragon" is worthy of the treasure of the town of Cuihu Villa, and it is worthy of being the first sword in the world," Queen Wang Ciru said approvingly, and then thought about it: "This "slaying the dragon" sword is owned by Cuihu Villa, I don't know ...... You?" asked the queen looking at the young man puzzled.
"Oh, back to the Queen, last night an old man insisted on fighting with me, and he lost, and I don't think he can use a sword lately...... Just ......"
"That old man, it must be Han Shengtai, the owner of Cuihu Villa......?
"Back to the Queen's Mother....... The old man said he didn't practice swordsmanship..... He seems to say that spring is coming...... I'm going to go back and plant wheat."
Yan Xi smiled the most, and the queen turned her head and glared at her.
Then the little girl simply stayed quietly, looked at him with affection, and listened to him say these words with a flamboyant tongue. Suddenly I felt that he wasn't a good thing.
But why do you like him so much?
Yan Xi dragged his cheeks with both hands, looked at him, his little head, and thought wildly.
He just kissed me...... That abominable Chen Mink Temple...... Dead Eunuch ...... His kiss...... I love it...... That kiss ......
Last time, I heard the eldest lady in the village outside the city tell her little daughter that the boy kissed her..... Yes......?
"Ahh
Am I going to get pregnant, to conceive his child? ...... But we still ...... Not married yet......
Listening to Yan Xi's loudest "ah", it seemed that she didn't notice it herself, and was just thinking about something. Chen Changfeng looked at her appearance and felt interesting.
Regardless of the presence of the queen at this time, the prank arose and walked gently to her side.
Bent over and bent his back, tilted his head, stared wide-eyed, held back a smile, and shook his head back and forth less than an inch in front of Yan Xi's face.
Yan Xi looked at this handsome and familiar face that had been carved thousands of times in his heart, and he was wrong for a while, and when he understood. He got up in a panic, but the tip of his nose gently crossed the tip of his nose.
"Ahh
Embarrassed, she quickly lowered her head. That shy appearance, that little face, red, very cute.
Chen Changfeng coughed, turned around and looked at the pool not far from the pavilion, looking at the thousands of koi fish that had surfaced to play.
"Yan'er...... You girl, the rivers and lakes say that you have a heroic temperament and are not informal, and the way you look now, even the queen mother thinks ...... Somewhat cold...... That long wind, don't you mind" Queen Wang Ciru looked approvingly at this personable and majestic young man, how do you say it?...... The more I look, the more satisfied I become.
Wang Ciru still remembers some things in the end, and finds an excuse to make the embarrassed Yan Ximi, let her accompany the Yang girl who is on the task, let her chat with others, and go shopping, after all, that Yang girl, well, in the future?
For hundreds of years, the mysterious Windy City was like an eye-catching nail in the seat, fiercely fixed between Nanyue and Xijing, making the rulers of the two countries restless.
Although Windy City has been an inaccessible existence for hundreds of years. Isolated from the world for hundreds of years, the great moat that thousands of troops and horses can't break, as well as the recent rumors on the rivers and lakes, as well as many long-buried secrets in it.
Wang Ruci finally couldn't hold back, and asked without hesitation: "Gongzi Chen, I don't think you can look down on this Nantian Festival, and according to my report from the spies who sent people to follow you, I heard that a few days ago, you seemed to have broken through the protective array of the Windy City? Have you been to the Windy City?"
These clumsy spies of the Nanyue Kingdom, since the first time he took this cute girl to hang out in the casino, he was like a child, clumsy, and followed him around, he didn't mind much, and he didn't dislike anything. In the books I read in those years, it was said: "Don't take evil as small, don't do good as small"
Everyone has their own way of survival, has their own way to go, some people's way of survival knows that there is no choice, since your ability to support the family is a spy, as long as it is not too much, then I give you a little kindness, so what's the matter!
"Eh, Queen Mother...... In fact, I didn't come to Luoyun City this time to participate in any Nantian event...... I heard that their sect has some agreements with your royal family, and I also asked some people, knowing that she will come here to assist when the Nantian Festival is held...... And then by mistake, he became the lord of their city......"
Chen Changfeng thought about it and nodded humbly, he felt that with her, there was no need to hide anything, he felt that it was just like that.
As for the little stone, Chen Changfeng has never mentioned it to anyone, and he will not talk about it at the moment. I haven't had the right opportunity to talk about this with Yang Xiaofu. It's not that he wants to hide Yang Xiaofu, he feels that there are some things, let's let it be for the time being. Xiao Shi was also working hard to cultivate, he thought about not bothering her for the time being, and when this Nantian Festival was over, he decided to study and study the two Bigu Divine Pills that had just arrived.
There are still too many things in this world that he hasn't yet understood, there are the hundred-year-old water moon cave heaven, the mysterious ancient scroll three thousand years ago, the city lord's mansion under the abyss, and the enlightenment that disappeared for three thousand years and ascended to immortality!
When chatting with Queen Wang Ruci, a panicked figure hurriedly trotted over, and Chen Changfeng looked up at the scene.
The middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow gold silk robe embroidered with the pattern of the dragon of the sea, led by the eunuch who led the way, trotted all the way, the sleeves fluttered slightly, that look, Chen Changfeng thought, was very funny.
Behind the man, a shrill voice kept shouting, "Your Majesty...... Be careful...... Emperor...... Your Majesty, slow down."
Next is the sword idiot Zhang Haidong, the head of the spear riding camp Xu Shanqing, and the genius of the Huo family, Huo Jiafeng.
At the end of the group, Yang Xiaoanning led a beautiful woman with tears in her face and came slowly.
The beautiful woman with tears streaming down her face stepped forward as if no one else was around, came to him, and looked up at him. He gently wiped away the tears that kept falling from the corners of her eyes with his sleeves.
He smiled and grimaced at her: "Hey, have you ever seen that Yan Invincible who once walked the rivers and lakes alone with a sword, or the wine invincible who has never been drunk in the rivers and lakes?"
She raised her little head, smiled, looked at him, and cried, looked at him.
She tried very hard, trying to give him her most beautiful smile. She wanted him to see herself, to see her best in herself.
"Okay, don't cry?"
She laughed, cried, and nodded obediently, ignoring everyone present, and threw herself into his arms without hesitation.
She hugged him tightly, tears drenching his warm chest. She smiled and said to him, "The world is so big, thank you...... Thank you for being in the middle of nowhere...... Let me...... Let me still meet you"!
