Nangong Yunsheng lowered his head.
“Your Majesty is wise, and I believe you have already made up your mind about the choice.
In addition to the selection of personnel, there is another issue that needs to be dealt with urgently, which is the army of West Vietnam.
In a word, after the surrender of Western Yue, there were many things to be done and many things needed to be coordinated and dealt with urgently.
The people of Xiyue will also wait and see whether Dongling will allow them to live a good life."
Emperor Dongling nodded.
“We must be extremely cautious about the selection of this person.
Jiuer and the others have worked so hard to make Xiyue submit to Dongling. We cannot let their efforts go to waste and cannot disappoint the people of Xiyue.
Before, there was a moment when I thought of the fourth brother, and I was choosing a fiefdom for him.
But I don't think it's possible. As you just said, Western Vietnam is in need of reconstruction, and the Fourth Brother is not up to the task."
Nangong Honglie hesitated.
"Your Majesty, let me be frank. Since Jiu'er and Your Highness were the ones who initiated this matter, I believe the people of Xiyue also recognize Your Highness.
Then let His Highness take charge temporarily, and once everything is sorted out, we can discuss other matters."
Emperor Dongling was a little embarrassed: "Hao'er, have you ever thought about living a carefree life?"
"Your Highness is a man who knows his priorities."
Emperor Dong Ling couldn't help but tease: "Are you willing to let Xue'er and Jiu'er stay there for a long time?"
Nangong Honglie smiled and replied, "I can't bear to do that! I'm talking about His Highness, what does it have to do with Xue'er and Jiu'er?
Besides, once things are sorted out, Your Highness can return to the capital."
Emperor Dongling had the answer in his mind and felt even happier.
"Since the border general will be heading to the border soon, let's have lunch together in the palace today. It will be my farewell to you.
Once things are settled, you can come back.
From now on, I won’t need to summon you. As long as there is no fighting at the border, you can return to the capital for half a year every year to reunite with your family.”
The father and son were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration!"
"Alright, get up. I'm only giving you these privileges because of Jiu'er's kindness."
The father and son nodded repeatedly.
Who cares? As long as the emperor doesn’t take back his order, anything is fine.
"Then I will write back to them now, and you can also say a few words."
Emperor Dongling announced his decision and said that everything was fine in the palace.
The father and son talked about the situation at home and Nangong Yunzhan's upcoming trip to the border.
Emperor Dongling stroked the bird reluctantly and let it fly away after a long time.
"Maybe I'm old and I miss my children a lot. I didn't notice it when they were around, but now that they're gone, I realize that no matter what I do, I always think about what would have happened if they were still here."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. If everything goes well, they will be back soon."
Emperor Dongling nodded.
"The return of Xiyue is a national affair, and national affairs come first!"
At the foot of a mountain on the West Vietnam border.
The end of Chen hour.
Chu Ruofeng and his group, along with their confidants, quietly came to the location drawn in the sketch.
I saw a steep cliff opposite, a platform halfway up the mountain, and a rushing river below.
General Chu pointed to the opposite side and said, "I've come here before to observe the terrain and I think it's absolutely safe.
I didn't expect that there would be a secret passage in a place like this."
Chu Ruofeng took out the map, compared it again and again, pointed to the platform opposite and said to the secret guard: "See that tree? Aim for that tree and throw the hook there."
The secret guards estimated the distance and tried to throw the iron hooks in their hands.
As a result, due to the strong wind, I failed after trying several times.
Nangong Jiu took the iron hook from the secret guard with the little star on his waist and flew over with a "whoosh".
He fixed the iron hook on the tree and flew back with a "whoosh".
The secret guard quickly fixed the other end to a tree, and then slid over one by one.
Chu Ruofeng also followed.
After landing, I looked and found that there was a narrow crevice in the grass behind the tree, which was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
After Chu Ruofeng made a gesture to General Chu, he disappeared from the spot with his group.
Nangong Jiu thought for a moment and instructed Xiao Wang: "Let the aunts come out."
Ah Bing and her sisters appeared at the command: "Princess!"
Nangong Jiu pointed at Ah Bing and Ah Qing, then took Xiao Xing off his waist and stuffed it into Ah Bing's hand, then pointed to the opposite side.
Ah Bing understood Nangong Jiu's meaning, and quickly agreed to slide over with Ah Qing, chasing after Chu Ruofeng and his group.
Liu Hao picked up Nangong Jiu, who was sitting on Xiao Wang's back. "Jiu'er, are you worried that it's not safe for them to go there?"
Nangong Jiu nodded repeatedly: "We know nothing about the situation over there. Ah Bing and the others are highly skilled in martial arts, and with Xiao Xing, I think they should be safe."
"Well, you're very thoughtful."
General Chu called out to the remaining people: "Everyone, please take a seat and wait patiently. It will take at least half an hour to cross this mountain and back."
Liu Hao walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. "Strange, this side is a little higher. How did they get here?"
General Chu pointed to the tree opposite and said, "We should climb up the tree. That way, our side will be lower."
"That's true, but if you climb up the tree, it will shake and it will be difficult to get over."
“If you set your mind to something, you must accomplish it no matter how difficult it is.”
The other side.
Chu Ruofeng led his men and moved forward.
There are several bends in the crevice, the ground is covered with moss, and the rocks on both sides are dripping with water from time to time, making it difficult to pass through.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the secret guard in front turned around and made a gesture to keep quiet.
