In his previous life, Nan Gongjing suffered a tragic betrayal and, despite being rescued, still met a miserable end. Now, returning to the eve of his awakening, he vows to make those who harmed him...
Chapter 218
Chapter 218
After Nangong Jing woke up, he felt the familiar breath and didn't feel strange.
The reason why Nangong Jing had the courage to let himself get drunk was because Xuanyuan Xingyao was by his side.
After waking up, Nangong Jing did not get up, but lazily buried himself in Xuanyuan Xingyao's arms, his face full of dependence.
Xuanyuan Xingyao naturally enjoyed Nangong Jing's dependence very much, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Feeling the vibration in his chest, Nangong Jing raised his head and leaned over to give her a kiss, then spoke.
"woke up."
Xuanyuan Xingyao returned the kiss before speaking in reply.
"You rubbed so hard, and I'm not unconscious, how could I not feel it?"
"Who used force?"
Nangong Jing refused to admit it. He had rubbed very hard just now.
Nangong Jing's rogue appearance made Xuanyuan Xingyao's chest vibrate again, and that deep and magnetic laughter kept entering Nangong Jing's ears.
"That's enough. If you laugh again I'll get angry."
It would be fine if he just smiled once, but he has no face if he keeps smiling.
Xuanyuan Xingyao knew when to stop, and he got out of bed, not caring that his clothes were still tidied, and pulled Nangong Jing up.
Nangong Jing didn't even have to lift a finger to get him dressed or even wash up; he could just help him get everything done neatly.
After seeing that Nangong Jing was fine, Xuanyuan Xingyao went to take care of himself with satisfaction.
After the two of them had packed up, Xuanyuan Xingyao asked the servants to bring them breakfast.
After breakfast, the two went into the palace hand in hand.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was planning to find Xuanyuan Hongtai and Xuanyuan Leng to talk about the affairs of the Fit Kingdom and discuss how to deal with the Fit Kingdom in the future.
As for Nangong Jing, he naturally went to find Han Yan.
The day before yesterday, Han Yan was so engrossed in studying the martial arts that Nangong Jing quietly withdrew. Two days had passed, and Han Yan must have completed his training.
Because they were going to different places, the two separated after entering the palace.
It was a coincidence that when Xuanyuan Xingyao arrived at the imperial study, Xuanyuan Hongtai and Xuanyuan Leng were talking about the Fate Kingdom.
"Yao'er, you've arrived just in time. There's new news coming from Fate. You should come and listen to it."
Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He was just about to talk to Xuanyuan Hongtai about Fate when news came back from Fate.
"Euya suddenly attacked Fate earlier. Did Shui Ling do something?"
Xuanyuan Hongtai did not immediately say what news was sent back from Fate, but instead asked why Ou Ya suddenly declared war on Fate.
Xuanyuan Xingyao nodded lightly and briefly explained the method he had discussed with Mao Yunkai and others.
"I knew it. After Shui Ling's army withdrew, Fate quickly recaptured several cities, even intending to keep all of Eurasia. When Eurasia saw that the situation was not right, it immediately stopped the war and chose to retreat. However, it seems that Fate does not intend to let Eurasia go..."
Xuanyuan Hongtai handed the message just passed back by the secret guard to Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Xuanyuan Xingyao took the letter, opened it, and read it quickly, then frowned slightly.
Previously, Xuanyuan Xingyao proposed to ask Ouya to help attract firepower, just to end the war as soon as possible, but he didn't intend to let Ouya get into trouble.
If Ou Ya was really targeted by Fate because of his help this time, even if the person who made the final decision was not Xuanyuan Xingyao, Xuanyuan Xingyao would inevitably feel uncomfortable.
"Yao'er, don't overthink it. You just gave a suggestion. The final decision was made by those two old guys, Tang Qi and Feng Mo. Even if Ou Ya is really on Fate's mind because of this matter, it is none of your business."
Xuanyuan Hongtai is actually quite cold-hearted. For him, as long as the empire is doing well, he doesn't care about what happens to other kingdoms.
"Father is right, Seventh Brother, you don't have to think too much."
Xuanyuan Leng knew that although Xuanyuan Xingyao seemed cold-hearted, he actually valued feelings the most. Moreover, he was born to be on the battlefield, but he didn't like the flames of war. To be honest, Xuanyuan Xingyao was sometimes quite contradictory.
Xuanyuan Xingyao sighed inwardly upon hearing this and returned the letter in his hand to Xuanyuan Hongtai.
"Actually, I came here today to inquire about the situation at the Fit border, and I also have something I want to tell my father and my eldest brother."
"Oh, what is it?"
Xuanyuan Hongtai asked curiously.
"We've confirmed that Fate has obtained or restored several lost formations from across the continent, which is why their combat power has increased significantly. Furthermore, they've somehow figured out how to allow magicians to use their mental energy to stimulate the soldiers' abilities, multiplying their combat effectiveness several times in a short period of time."
"This is a real headache for us. If these two issues aren't resolved, we'll easily be caught off guard when we encounter the Fate army on the battlefield."
Ever since Xuanyuan Xingyao went to support Shui Ling, Xuanyuan Hongtai has been asking people to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.
In addition, Xuanyuan Xingyao asked Xuanyuan Leng to inquire about the information about the formation, so he quickly guessed that Fate might have restored the formation, which was why he was so invincible.
"In fact, this is why I came here today..."
Xuanyuan Xingyao said in a deep voice.
Xuanyuan Hongtai and Xuanyuan Leng were becoming increasingly confused. Could it be that Xuanyuan Xingyao had already found a solution?
"Our battle with Fate has been at a stalemate, with no good solution. Xiao Jing wanted to go to the Wuwang Tower to see if she could get some useful clues..."
Xuanyuan Xingyao talked about why Nangong Jing went to Wuwang Tower and how he passed the levels in Wuwang Tower. Finally, he talked about what rewards Nangong Jing got in Wuwang Tower.
Xuanyuan Hongtai and Xuanyuan Leng were originally confused as to why Xuanyuan Xingyao suddenly mentioned Nangong Jing, but after hearing the rest, their expressions changed from confusion to ecstasy.
Nangong Jing actually obtained a complete set of formations in Wuwang Tower, and also had a way to double the combat power of monsters.
Not to mention that with the complete collection of formations, they are no longer afraid of Fate's formations. The fact that this method can double the combat effectiveness of Warcraft is enough to make people excited.
We are just human beings, and we are bound to be greedy. While Xuanyuan Hongtai is happy, he also feels a little regretful that his happiness cannot be used on other people.
If it could be used on humans like Fate did, then Dragon Shadow would definitely be able to create an invincible army.
Xuanyuan Xingyao saw the fleeting look of regret in Xuanyuan Hongtai's eyes, and his eyes quickly darkened.
This is also one of the reasons why Xuanyuan Xingyao did not dare to tell Xuanyuan Hongtai that Nangong Jing could control a large number of monsters.
Xuanyuan Xingyao knew that if Xuanyuan Hongtai really knew about it, then it wouldn't matter whether they were willing or not.
Xuanyuan Hongtai would ask Nangong Jing to go to the Warcraft Forest to form an army of Warcraft to expand the territory of the Dragon Shadow Empire.
"Our empire is already at the top of the continent. There's no need to be too high-profile."
Xuanyuan Xingyao said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Hongtai glanced at Xuanyuan Xingyao, and then put away the regret in his heart.
Yes, the Dragon Shadow Empire is already number one on the continent. Even if it really has a way to double the strength of humans, so what? Will it also attack other kingdoms like Fate did? There is really no need.
"Is the complete collection of formations in Jing'er's hands now?"
Xuanyuan Hongtai suddenly asked.
"No, Xiao Jing is not good at battle formations here, so he gave it to me after he got it."
Xuanyuan Xingyao replied.
If Xuanyuan Hongtai agreed to this marriage because of Xuanyuan Xingyao, then now Xuanyuan Hongtai feels that Nangong Jing is a really good choice as the prince's consort.
Apart from anything else, Nangong Jing still has some luck.
"Have you thoroughly understood the complete collection of formation techniques?"
"I've already understood a little bit of it. It will take some time to fully understand it."
Xuanyuan Xingyao answered honestly.
"That's good. You should work hard to fully understand the formations as soon as possible. Fate still needs to be dealt with."
When Xuanyuan Hongtai said the last sentence, his expression had become deep and his tone had become heavy.
"Seventh brother, were you still on the battlefield when Jing'er obtained this complete set of formations? Did Shui Ling also know that you had this treasure?"
Xuanyuan Leng looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao and asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Hongtai also looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao, waiting for his answer.
Xuanyuan Xingyao nodded and responded.
"Yes, Shui Ling also knows about it, but they haven't asked us to share the complete array formation. But I think they should be a little tempted, and might even exchange resources for some manuscripts."
This is also another reason why Xuanyuan Xingyao came to find Xuanyuan Hongtai today, that is, if Shui Ling really comes, whether or not to replace the complete array formation.
To be honest, Xuanyuan Hongtai was a little conflicted. If possible, he would naturally prefer that this complete collection of formations be unique to the empire.
But Xuanyuan Hongtai also knew that if that were the case, it would be too eye-catching, or even easily arouse public anger.
Although the Empire is not afraid, it does not want to really cause dissatisfaction among all the other kingdoms.
"Let's discuss this further, and wait until Shui Ling actually receives a request."
Xuanyuan Hongtai hesitated for a while but couldn't make a decision, so he decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't expect to get the answer immediately. Since Xuanyuan Hongtai said to let it go first, then he let it go.
Xuanyuan Hongtai didn't continue talking about what happened on the battlefield. He changed the subject and started to care about the marriage of Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing.
"Have you prepared the betrothal gifts for that boy? Do you need my financial support?"
Perhaps because he completely recognized Nangong Jing, Xuanyuan Hongtai actually offered to help prepare the betrothal gifts.
Xuanyuan Xingyao also knew that Xuanyuan Hongtai would completely recognize Nangong Jing, more because of the rewards Nangong Jing received in Wuwang Tower.
Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't think anything of this, as long as the final result was good.
"If Your Majesty is willing to help, I would be grateful."
"You are indeed someone who is going to get married, yet you are still joking with me."
Xuanyuan Hongtai didn't expect that Xuanyuan Xingyao would actually joke with him. After being stunned for a moment, he pointed at Xuanyuan Xingyao and said to Xuanyuan Leng.
"Since Seventh Brother has spoken, then Father, you must not be stingy."
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Xuanyuan Leng also started joking half-seriously.
When Xuanyuan Hongtai saw Xuanyuan Leng standing directly on Xuanyuan Xingyao's side, he shook his head with a smile in his eyes, his face full of doting.
"You are such a good brother to your seventh brother. You always stand by his side."
Xuanyuan Hongtai pretended to be angry and scolded Xuanyuan Leng, but he picked up the brush very naturally and started writing something on the memorial.
Xuanyuan Leng took a closer look and saw that they were all treasures or cultivation resources that summoners could use. They were obviously prepared as betrothal gifts for Nangong Jing.
