Chapter Ninety-Five: Reward
Seeing Kyoto getting closer and closer, Princess Jinglu, who was smiling all the way, slowly became serious. Ruhua's smile slowly disappeared, and gradually became solemn.
Despite the bright sun, Yang Fanhai felt an inexplicable chill from the woman in his arms, as if something was passing through her body.
The feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only turn over and dismount. This time, Princess Jinglu didn't stop her, just looked ahead faintly.
"Princess ......"
Yang Fanhai asked for instructions, and Princess Jinglu, who listened before she finished speaking, said: "Yang ...... General, go into the city and send me to see my father. ”
Frowning, he didn't say anything more, and led the horse rope straight to the city gate.
The two of them traveled a long way, not to mention embarrassed and tired, but at a glance they looked very different from the others, which naturally immediately attracted the attention of the city gate guards.
"Someone, step aside, check!"
Amid the shouting, there were already guards walking up with weapons in hand.
Princess Jinglu rode on her horse and said loudly: "I am Princess Jinglu, and I have returned from the envoy of Changguo!"
"Princess Jinglu!" Several guards were stunned for a moment, their faces were suspicious, and after approaching and taking a closer look, they exclaimed: "It's really Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Princess Jinglu is approachable, and she often walks around Kyoto at ordinary times, not to mention that this gate is guarded, even if ordinary people know her, there are not a few, especially now that Princess Jinglu is missing, the whole country is looking for her, and the city gate guards have already memorized all her characteristics.
Recognizing the person, many guards immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "My subordinates greet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
His voice trembled, and he was extremely nervous. The news of the princess's attack and disappearance by the big snake has long spread throughout the country of Thistle, let alone in Kyoto. Now everyone in the entire capital knows that Princess Jinglu has an accident, and it is extremely dangerous, don't say that if she comes back alive, it is not bad to be able to catch the whole corpse.
"Get up!" commanded Princess Jinglu, "I will go to my father and let me go!"
"Yes!"
The guards received the order, hurriedly dredged the city gate, made way for a passage, and at the same time sent people into the city to report.
Yang Fanhai was holding the horse rope and was about to move forward, but he heard Princess Jinglu say, "General Yang, you don't need to lead the horse." ”
Then he commanded the guard at the door: "Bring a horse!"
Immediately, someone brought a war horse from the side of the city gate and handed it over to Yang Fanhai.
"General Yang, these days, I have a lot of work for you. Princess Jinglu looked at him and said slowly: "You are the hero of my Ji Kingdom, how can you do things to lead horses, in the future, remember not to do this." ”
Yang Fanhai hurriedly saluted: "The last general knows." ”
"Come with me into the city!" Princess Jinglu clamped the horse's belly and rode forward, Yang Fanhai turned over and got on the horse and followed in. At the same time, a large number of guards also ran into the city, clearing the way for the two men.
The news of Princess Jinglu's safe return spread throughout Kyoto and beyond in an instant, as if she had grown wings. A large number of people in the city rushed towards the central avenue, looking to the sides and watching the two of them towards the palace.
"Princess, what a princess, she came back safely, God forbid. ”
"How could such a kind person as a princess be eaten by a big snake, God is really eye-opening. ”
"Who is that guy in the back, and why did he come back with the princess?"
"I heard that when the princess was attacked by a big snake, a general jumped into the river to save the princess, but unfortunately he was swept away by the big snake in the end. ”
"If this is the case, I'm afraid the princess was rescued by him. ”
“......”
The crowd on both sides surged, and a large number of Kyoto people exchanged heads and talked about it. On such occasions, Princess Jinglu has experienced too many times, and she is used to it, but she just rides her horse forward and is leisurely and calm.
Yang Fanhai had never experienced such an occasion, and he was worried, as if there were barbs on the saddle, which made him restless and difficult to calm down.
Princess Jinglu seemed to know his embarrassment, and slightly slackened her speed, only more than half of the horse's body, and then said softly: "General Yang! This is the enthusiasm of the people, don't feel unnatural." ”
"The last general...... Understood!" Yang Fanhai nodded, saying so, but it didn't get much better.
"Get used to it!" Princess Jinglu smiled slightly, and said no more.
The two of them, one after the other, walked through Kyoto and headed for the palace.
Before I arrived, I saw a sea of people at the gate of the palace and countless soldiers. Under a graceful canopy, a middle-aged man in a purple robe stood on the chariot of a chariot, looking at this place from afar.
Slightly closer, Princess Jinglu dismounted, stepped on the golden bridge in front of the palace and walked forward, after walking a few steps, she found that Yang Fanhai did not follow, but stopped in place and was stunned, and immediately shouted: "General Yang, come with me!"
I don't understand why I want to call myself, but Yang Fanhai still turned over and dismounted and followed.
The two walked forward for a while, and the middle-aged man under the canopy finally couldn't help jumping out of the chariot and ran all the way, attracting a group of guards to follow closely.
After running closer, the middle-aged man ignored his appearance, hugged Princess Jinglu in his arms, burst into tears, and said in a loud voice: "Jinghan, Jinghan, I'm really scared to death as a father!" This person is Yi Taihu, the monarch of the Ji Kingdom.
Yang Fanhai stood one meter behind Princess Jinglu, motionless, carefully looking at this man who had appeared in his father's mouth I don't know how many times.
Not very tall, about a head shorter than himself, although his body is not as bloated as the king of Changguo, but he is still a little fat. I don't know what he looks like on weekdays, but at this moment he is just a father who is overjoyed to see his daughter come safely.
Since approaching Kyoto, Yang Fanhai always felt that Princess Jinglu began to hide the emotions in her heart, and she was crying with her father at this moment.
The other guards were all standing far away, not approaching, and a group of palace maids were secretly wiping their tears, happy for Princess Jinglu's safe return.
The two of them hugged for a long time in the middle of Jinqiao, and their mood finally calmed down. After the palace maid on the side handed over a towel to wipe her tears, the lord of the Ji Kingdom pulled Princess Jinglu and asked with a happy face: "Daughter, this time I am really scared to death as a father." I should have listened to you Master Mu in the first place, and I shouldn't have let you go on an envoy. Fortunately, you finally came back safely, otherwise I would have really seen his Huangfu Shaowei's head. ”
"The situation was critical that day, the fierce beast was too powerful, and it was no wonder that Captain Huangfu was no wonder. Princess Jinglu said: "Fortunately, General Yang sacrificed his life to save him, and he finally saved the day." Father, this is General Yang Fanhai. ”
Yang Fanhai immediately stepped forward and bowed half-kneeling: "The last general, Yang Fanhai, meet the king." ”
"You are Yang Fanhai!" The lord of the Ji Kingdom looked at Yang Fanhai and was slightly stunned, and then stepped forward to help him up personally: "No need to be polite." ”
After looking at Yang Fanhai carefully, he nodded again and again: "Okay, what a tiger and wolf general." General Yang's name, this king has heard it many times, and today is the first time I've seen it!"
"In the battle of Langkou Mountain in the past, General Yang went thousands of miles deep into the territory of the empire, beheaded the traitorous ministers, and raised the national prestige of our Ji country. Capture the enemy's head again, toss and turn the potential, resolve the country's great difficulties, and turn the tide. The king just listened to his blood boiling, and he was very fascinated. ”
"Such a great merit should have been rewarded, but Mr. Mu suggested that you will definitely be my ** pillar in the future, you can't be promoted too quickly, you should be familiar with everything in the army, so you have not rewarded too much for your credit. ”
"The old work has not been rewarded, and the new work has come again. Saving my daughter's life is like saving the life of the king, and this time the king must reward you well. ”
Yang Fanhai shook his head again and again: "Thank you for the king's kindness, but defending the country and protecting the princess is the duty of the last general." If you do what you do, why talk about rewards? If the king must reward ...... Let's take some rest for some holidays at the end of the day. ”
The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, he wanted to say that he hoped that the king would have less war, but suddenly remembered that this time Princess Jinglu was indeed going to form an alliance and truce the war, and she was already quelling the war, and it was useless to say it, so he could only quickly change his words.
He just wanted to go back to Panshan once and ask Master Feng about the evil qi on his body.
"Haha, this is naturally accurate......"
The lord of the Ji Kingdom was about to say the reward, but was interrupted by Princess Jinglu: "Father, there is still something that the sons and daughters have not had time to tell you." ”
He immediately took a step back and took out the letter of state from his bosom, which was the book of alliance with the monarch of Changguo. Handed it to the lord of Jiguo, he said respectfully: "The son of the minister sent an envoy to Changguo, although there have been many changes, but with the blessing of his father, God blessed, there is no danger, and he has reached an alliance with the monarch of Changguo." ”
"As long as my father stamps the national seal, the covenant will take effect on the same day, and the Ji Kingdom and the Chang Kingdom will cease war and become brothers. ”
"It's done! My daughter has really done a great job. ”
The lord of the Ji Kingdom nodded, although he smiled and praised him, but he was not expected to be happy.
Yang Fanhai thought about it for a moment in his heart and had already figured it out. The lord of Ji Guo was only forced to decide to form an alliance with Chang Guo out of desperation, and deep down, he still wanted to avenge the feud he had been.
He took the letter of state, handed it to the Minister of the Interior beside him, and instructed: "Xuanren goes to court!"
"Obey!" the Minister of the Interior took the credentials, and then instructed the guards to inform the ministers and prepare to go to the court.
Grabbing Princess Jinglu's hand and patting it, the lord of the Ji Kingdom ordered: "Go back to the palace!"
Then a kind of guard embraced him and went to the palace. At the behest of Princess Jinglu, Yang Fanhai also followed.
Subsequently, in the afternoon dynasty, the lord of Ji announced an alliance with the truce of Changguo, which was supported by hundreds of officials.
Because of the great merit of the battle of Langkou Mountain and the merit of protecting the princess, Yang Fanhai was rewarded by the lord of the country, and he was awarded the demon general, the official four products, the reward of 10,000 taels of gold, and the official residence was given, and he could enter the palace to meet the king at any time.
For a while, Kyoto was in an uproar, and it became a topic of conversation for everyone, and Yang Fanhai instantly became a celebrity in front of everyone's eyes.
The status was instantly improved, which made Yang Fanhai a little unable to parry, and before he could digest it, the lord of the Ji Kingdom arranged a new task for him: to send Gongsun Weiqing out of Kyoto.
Inadvertently, the one-year period has arrived, and it's time to let the great prince of the bear country go back.
