Chapter 87 King Fate

Chapter 87 King Fate

Feng Xuanzhou, his roommate, said so, so Nangong Jing, who was just asking out of courtesy, would have no objection.

After the three of them went downstairs, they discovered that the tables and chairs in the inn were already full of people.

If they wanted to eat, they could only eat in their own rooms.

Whether it was the room where Feng Xuanzhou lived or the room where Xuanyuan Xingyao and the others lived, there were tables, chairs and benches.

It's okay to eat in the room, but the smell will remain after eating.

The guest room is not bigger than their own home after all, and the dining area and sleeping area are far apart.

Even if there was a smell, it wouldn't drift onto their bed.

"Forget it, let's go out to eat."

Nangong Jing made the decision without much hesitation whether to eat in the room or go out.

Xuanyuan Xingyao and Feng Xuanzhou had no objections either. They also didn't like the smell in the room.

If they just go out to eat, what should they eat? They are not familiar with King Fit.

"Your Highness, are you going out? Please take them with you."

After General Qi settled the troops he brought, he brought a small team of elite soldiers to look for Xuanyuan Xingyao.

It was just a coincidence that Xuanyuan Xingyao was about to go out as soon as he arrived at the inn.

Xuanyuan Xingyao glanced at the number of soldiers behind General Qi, about ten people, and frowned quickly.

"General Qi, taking so many people out will draw too much attention. I don't think anyone is brave enough to attack me in the royal capital. Besides, the priests are always keeping an eye on this place. If anything happens to me, they will be able to rush over immediately."

Xuanyuan Xingyao has never liked having too many people around him since he was a child, but there is no way around it in the palace because he has to abide by the palace rules.

But outside, especially in a situation like this where Xuanyuan Xingyao has the highest status, no one can force him.

"Your Highness, I know you don't like being followed, but we are not on our own land, so we should be careful."

Xuanyuan Xingyao has a stubborn temper, and General Qi is not one to be easily persuaded, so the atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.

Nangong Jing saw that neither of them was willing to give in. Seeing that more and more people were looking at him, he thought it would not be a good idea to remain stiff, so he said after thinking for a while.

"Your Highness, General Qi has been ordered to protect you. If he does nothing, he will be disobeying the imperial order and will surely be punished when the news reaches the imperial capital. How about this? We can take a few of the soldiers General Qi brought with us and leave, and have the rest stay in the inn to guard your room."

Nangong Jing seemed to be talking to Xuanyuan Xingyao, but his eyes were actually looking at General Qi.

After all, Nangong Jing has confidence in himself, and Xuanyuan Xingyao will still give face to his suggestions.

Now it depends on whether General Qi will give us this face.

General Qi’s current position was not solely due to his ability to lead troops in battle.

"I think Young Master Nangong's suggestion is very good."

Just as Nangong Jing expected, Xuanyuan Xingyao would definitely give face to his suggestions.

General Qi also gave in, and the matter was finally resolved perfectly.

Xuanyuan Xingyao randomly picked three people and asked them to follow him, while the remaining seven went upstairs to guard his room.

General Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xuanyuan Xingyao was willing to accept the person.

"I wonder if General Qi has settled in? If not, I'd like to see if there are any vacancies in the inn."

Nangong Jing asked with a faint smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Nangong Qishao. I have settled in and am living in the embassy."

General Qi bowed to Nangong Jing to express his gratitude for his concern.

"Who's in charge of the military camp? Have all the arrangements been made?"

Nangong Jing continued to ask.

"The military camp has also been arranged. It is located at the foot of a mountain not far from the royal capital. It is currently under the management of a deputy general."

Since General Qi is here, he naturally has to arrange everything.

Nangong Jing nodded when he heard that, then glanced at Xuanyuan Xingyao and asked him if he had any other questions.

Xuanyuan Xingyao shook his head slightly. Nangong Jing had already asked very detailed questions, and he had nothing more to say.

Nangong Jing understood Xuanyuan Xingyao's meaning and spoke to General Qi with a slight apology.

"General Qi, His Highness hasn't had dinner yet, and there are no seats left in the inn, so..."

General Qi was so smart that he immediately understood what Nangong Jing meant and dodged to the side.

"If Your Highness needs my help, please send me to the embassy. I won't disturb Your Highness while he goes out to eat."

After General Qi finished speaking, he bowed to Xuanyuan Xingyao again, then turned and left.

After General Qi left, the three of them were finally able to go out, although they were followed by three little tails.

Because of the little tail, the three of them couldn't go to the street stalls to eat snacks.

After asking a few local people, I randomly picked a restaurant with a good reputation and had a simple dinner.

Although the three of them didn't waste much time, because the restaurant was on another street, by the time they returned, several hours had passed and it was already dark.

After the three returned to the inn, they saw a man in official uniform sitting in the lobby. The originally bustling lobby was now much quieter.

As soon as the man saw the three people, or Xuanyuan Xingyao, he immediately stood up, bent down towards Xuanyuan Xingyao, and performed the etiquette of the Fate Kingdom to greet the prince.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Hanxi County of the Dragon Shadow Empire."

"Excuse me, I don't know how to address you, sir."

Xuanyuan Xingyao was clearly only wearing ordinary clothes, but the moment he opened his mouth, his majesty was revealed.

When the man heard Xuanyuan Xingyao's question, he not only did not stand up, but bent down even more.

"I am not worthy of being called Your Highness, Your Excellency. I am just a small official in the Ministry of Rites."

"So it's you, Mr. Yuanwailang. I wonder if you have a message from the king?"

The Dragon Shadow Empire is higher in status than the Fate Kingdom, so Xuanyuan Xingyao cannot say that he has any instructions, as that would lower his status.

But we can't be too disrespectful, so the word "pass on the message" is just right.

"The King is delighted to learn that Your Highness has arrived in the capital today and originally wanted to host a welcome banquet for you. However, he was concerned that you would be tired from the journey, so he has scheduled the banquet for tomorrow evening. General Qi will also be there."

What Yuanwailang said actually expressed a meaning, that is, your generals are also here, so there is no need to worry about any problems with the banquet.

When Xuanyuan Xingyao came here, he knew that this welcome banquet was inevitable.

He was not worried that King Fate would do anything at the welcome banquet.

If the other party was really so stupid, he would not have been able to defeat so many princes to become the new master, and he would not have completely secured the throne just a few years after ascending the throne.

"I understand. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will be there on time tomorrow night."

Xuanyuan Xingyao said with great dignity.

When Yuanwailang heard that Xuanyuan Xingyao agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone said that Xuanyuan Xingyao was unkind, and when he came, he was really worried that Xuanyuan Xingyao would not give him this face.

Fortunately, the biggest task was completed successfully.

Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou are just young masters of aristocratic families and do not hold any official positions.

Therefore, when facing them, Yuanwailang did not salute or even bow, but just nodded slightly in greeting.

"Your Majesty has heard that the son of the Left Prime Minister and the son of the Duke of Wuling have also come to the capital and wish to see you two. I wonder if you two will be able to attend the welcome banquet hosted by the Prince of Hanxi tomorrow."

"It is an honor for us to be invited by His Majesty the King."

Feng Xuanzhou and Nangong Jing answered simply and clearly.

Yuanwailang got the answer he wanted and laughed even more happily.

As it was getting late, Yuanwailang did not waste too much time. He bowed to Xuanyuan Xingyao again and returned to the palace to report.

Xuanyuan Xingyao had not revealed his identity before, so apart from the people in the Imperial Capital College, no one else knew who he was.

But King Fate's sudden invitation directly exposed the identities of Xuanyuan Xingyao and the other two to everyone.

Fortunately, when Xuanyuan Xingyao came, he knew that his identity would not last long.

Therefore, after being exposed, he did not pay attention to the looks and whispered discussions of the people around him, and took Nangong Jing back to the room.

"I remember that the current King of Fate is only in his thirties. It seems he has only been on the throne for a few years?"

After returning to the room, Nangong Jing asked curiously.

"Yes, the current king of the Fate Kingdom ascended the throne five years ago. He didn't come from a good family; his mother was a merchant, and she wasn't particularly favored. Therefore, his position in the palace wasn't high, and his ascension to the throne was completely unexpected."

Xuanyuan Xingyao introduced carefully.

Nangong Jing said thoughtfully after hearing this.

"He was able to ascend the throne as an unfavored prince, defeating both the legitimate son and the favorite concubine's son. Moreover, in just a few years, he won the hearts of all the ministers and firmly established his position on the throne. This King Fate is no ordinary person. We better be careful tomorrow."

Xuanyuan Xingyao never looks down on anyone, not to mention that the current king, Fate, is indeed very capable.

After the other party ascended the throne, it took him less than two years to firmly secure the throne.

In the following years, they even captured several cities of the neighboring Kingdom of Sisi.

In the end, King Sisi had to marry one of his daughters to the king, temporarily ending the war.

From this incident, Xuanyuan Xingyao could see that King Fit was not only capable, but also a master at leading troops in battle.

On the afternoon of the second day, Xuanyuan Xingyao changed into the royal uniform representing his status as a prince of the Dragon Shadow Empire.

This was the first time Nangong Jing saw Xuanyuan Xingyao wearing formal court robes after he was conferred the title of Prince.

The royal court dress is mainly black, mixed with ice blue, white and gold. The national flower of the empire is embroidered on the chest and collar of the clothes, making it look extremely noble.

Once he put on his court robes, Xuanyuan Xingyao looked even more noble.

Add to that the formal jade crown, and Nangong Jing was a little stunned. What should he do?

"Why, are you fascinated by it?"

Xuanyuan Xingyao was very satisfied with Nangong Jing's expression. He liked the way Nangong Jing looked obsessed with him.

Although Nangong Jing was a little embarrassed, he nodded honestly. He was really fascinated by it. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support. Kisses! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading.
