Chang'an Street is full of people coming here spontaneously.
If the imperial guards hadn't stopped them, they would have rushed forward.
They welcomed the victorious soldiers.
Dafeng has always been a martial nation.
What we admire most are the soldiers and heroes.
"Great Feng, long live!"
"Great Feng, long live!"
Some of them held flowers and scattered flower petals.
Some shouted loudly.
Others wore masks and performed Nuo opera.
"Welcome Prince Ning's triumphant return!"
"Prince Ning!"
The people were also cheering.
Ning Que sat in the car, feeling a little embarrassed.
“This scene is too big.”
"I didn't actually do anything."
"It's mainly because Duke Feng commanded properly."
Emperor Feng shook his head and said calmly, "This is all my arrangement. There is no need to belittle yourself. You deserve the most credit for this Northern Expedition, and you deserve it. You are the Prince of Ning of Dafeng. You deserve this honor for your great contributions!"
"Ahem, I'll do as my Royal Brother says." Ning Que lowered the curtain with an embarrassed look on his face and said softly, "War always means casualties. When I was young, my father always returned victorious, but he never smiled. Now I understand why. As for galloping beyond the Great Wall... By then, I had already conquered Longcheng, completely enraging the Liao Kingdom. All I was thinking about was how to safely retreat to Yanmen, and nothing else."
"Um."
Emperor Feng seemed to be thinking about something.
However, there was not much statement.
He is a ruthless political machine.
This is not derogatory, but it must be so.
As an emperor, you must know how to make choices.
Yes, there are casualties in war.
But if there is no war, will there be no more?
The Liao Kingdom invaded Shuofang!
The tip of the knife is aimed at the northern border of Dafeng!
Every year they take advantage of the autumn to plunder the pass!
In order to resist the Liao Kingdom, Dafeng had to station troops.
Annual military spending is an astronomical figure.
Rather than losing alone, it’s better to hurt each other!
Even if it costs some price, the Liao Kingdom must be severely damaged.
War is the continuation of politics.
It is useless to negotiate with words alone.
Dignity is only above the edge of the sword, truth is only within the range of the arrow and crossbow, a weak country has no diplomacy!
They have to be hurt before they know how to be afraid!
"I heard you were seriously injured."
"Yes, the situation was too dangerous at the time." Ning Que, still frightened, whispered, "I couldn't hold on any longer, so I took a risk and pretended to be captives. I took advantage of the Liao's inattention and successfully passed through the Xubu clan. The Liao quickly realized something was wrong and quickly caught up. If Feng Jie hadn't arrived in time and I hadn't scared Liang Yili away, there would have been heavy casualties."
Ning Que was not exaggerating.
The situation was really dangerous at that time.
Feng Jie has no backup at all.
And it is closer to Shuofang City.
If they support at the same time, Liang Yili will definitely be faster.
And he couldn't hold on any longer.
I just held on with one breath.
It was a chicken game then.
Whoever gives in first will lose!
Fortunately, he successfully scared Liang Yili away.
Looking back now, it was really dangerous.
Emperor Feng was looking at Ning Que.
"Xiao Ning, you don't have to do this."
"ah?"
"I'm not afraid of your achievements becoming too great for the emperor." Emperor Feng smiled kindly. "You've always said that you give credit to others. But I know you were instrumental in two consecutive battles. You destroyed Longcheng and captured the golden man for offering sacrifices to heaven. Then you crossed the river twice, making the Liao army of tens of thousands run wild. And then, with a roar, you scared away thousands of enemy troops. I know all of this!"
"Forehead……"
Ning Que smiled awkwardly.
"Did you hear any rumors?"
"No, no."
Emperor Feng then smiled and said with satisfaction, "I trust you the most, not anyone else. No matter how many merits you have achieved, I will never doubt you. Could it be that because you won the battle, you have become estranged from me, your royal brother?"
"My royal brother, you worry too much."
Ning Que also looked embarrassed.
Seeing Emperor Feng like this, I couldn't help but relax.
Maybe he was just worrying too much.
Shen Qinghe talked to him a lot that day.
When he was young, he had a good relationship with Emperor Feng.
That was because Emperor Feng was an unpopular prince at the time.
But when he sits on the throne, he is the Feng Emperor!
Many people's temperament changes drastically after gaining power.
Isn't it possible to serve the emperor?
Who will benefit the most if the old King Ning dies in battle?
Ning Que actually thought about it for a long time.
But he still felt it was unlikely.
Because it doesn't bring much benefit to Emperor Feng.
At the very least, Emperor Feng had not yet firmly established his position at that time.
The kings of different surnames are even more eager to see the opportunity.
After his father and brother died in battle, Dafeng was in even greater danger.
When the birds are gone, the bow is put away.
When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked.
The birds and rabbits are all here, why move?
This may not hold water at all!
"Haha, if you don't want to mention it, then don't mention it." Emperor Feng sat calmly in the car and changed into a comfortable posture. "The female general just now was the daughter of the Master of Shenji Pavilion, Shen Qinghe?"
"Um."
"Indeed, you have good judgment." Emperor Feng patted Ning Que's shoulder and joked, "The Queen Mother was very happy to know about this. She even said that you have finally come to your senses. You have been hiding these things well enough, not telling us. This marriage is very good, much better than that of Lin Xianhong."
"That's good." Ning Que laughed, "Is my master here?"
"Not yet."
Ning Que lifted the curtain and continued to look outside the city.
The emperor's carriage was not moving very fast.
The people all came spontaneously.
Still cheering on both sides.
Emperor Feng put away his smile and whispered, "How much do you know about Gu Yuan? Why did Samuel lead his army to support the Liao Kingdom?"
