Chapter 45
Fu Liangping resented Xun Qingyi's lack of understanding of romance.
But the war still has to be fought.
When Fu Liangping was fighting with an army of 100,000 at the border.
Xun Qingyi was not idle in Kyoto either.
She was responsible for the distribution of the prisoners of war sent back by Fu Liangping.
Let them be responsible for repairing the dam.
Li Ningyun was responsible for attending court and reviewing memorials.
Sigh~ This is the first year that the Regent is away. I miss him~
Three years later, with Xun Qingyi's sufficient food and grass support, Fu Liangping fought this battle very smoothly.
It was so smooth that they directly attacked the capital of Hongxi Kingdom.
Now he is on his way back with the king of Hongxi.
Many officials were wondering how the emperor would treat the regent who had won the battle and had no more titles to offer.
After all, he is now in a position second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
Now that I have returned from another victorious battle, will the emperor be wary of me?
Bird bow hidden?
Li Ningyun just sneered.
How could there be no reward?
Fu Liangping writes me a letter every two weeks, asking me, a king who deals with state affairs every day, to help look after his wife.
If I were to arrange a marriage for him, I guess he would just retire and return home to take care of his wife and children.
Thinking of this, Li Ningyun looked at Zhang Hua.
"What has the Minister of Industry been busy with lately?"
Zhang Hua smiled and stepped forward to reply, "Your Majesty, Lady Xun said there are too many prisoners of war lately and not enough work to do. She is now having them use cement to build roads and houses."
Li Ningyun nodded and said, "Go and ask Lord Xun to come to the palace."
Zhang Hua glanced at Li Ningyun with some embarrassment. "Your Majesty, can I ask for someone else to go? Last time, I went to summon Lord Xun to the palace. Lord Xun not only disliked me for being in the way, but he also kicked me. I dare not bother him again."
Li Ningyun rolled her eyes: "Stop pretending to be pitiful. If you can't call her over, then I will be the one to kick you."
Zhang Hua smiled and said, "I'll go right away."
Xun Qingyi rushed into the imperial study and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you calling me here so urgently? What's the matter?"
Li Ningyun smiled and said, "There is something. Fu Liangping will be back in a few days."
Xun Qingyi was a little excited when she heard this: "Really? When will it arrive? It's been more than three years since he left."
Li Ningyun nodded. "Well, it's been three and a half years. I called you here this time because I wanted to ask you, you said you've liked Fu Liangping for so long, why haven't you thought about marrying him?"
Xun Qingyi had already told Li Ningyun that she liked Fu Liangping.
It’s just that Fu Liangping himself doesn’t know it.
Xun Qingyi did not tell Fu Liangping about this, nor did she allow Li Ningyun to tell Fu Liangping.
At the beginning, Xun Qingyi thought Fu Liangping liked the heroine.
Later, Murong Xue died, and Fu Liangping did not show any unusual behavior.
Xun Qingyi then realized that she had misunderstood.
Later it was simply because she was too busy.
I can't care about my little daughters.
Besides, she didn't want to be trapped in that big house for the rest of her life after getting married.
Thinking that after a few years, Fu Liangping would naturally get married and have children.
Who would have thought that this wait would last almost twenty years!
Xun Qingyi felt a little guilty, always feeling that she was the one who delayed Fu Liangping.
Now hear Li Ningyun's question.
She lowered her head slightly: "Then? How about... I wait for him to come back and get married?"
Li Ningyun smiled slyly: "Okay, I will grant you two a marriage. It just so happens that he has made such a great contribution, so this will be his reward."
Xun Qingyi rolled her eyes. "Your Majesty, could you please not be so stingy? After such a great contribution, you only grant me a marriage?"
Li Ningyun said: "Oh, everyone in the court, civil and military, is obsessed with my little money. I am so poor~"
Xun Qingyi: "...Your Majesty, have you forgotten that I have the account books for the national treasury's annual income and expenditure?"
Li Ningyun shrugged: "Then I don't have any money either."
The main point is that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Xun Qingyi was speechless.
Why did she think that the second male lead was a gentle person back then?
It turns out that I am too young!
After waiting for another half a month, the day finally arrived when Fu Liangping returned to Beijing.
Li Ningyun went to the city gate to greet him in person.
Looking at Fu Liangping, who had turned as black as charcoal, Li Ningyun laughed unkindly: "Thank you for your hard work, Prince Regent."
Wait until you reach the main hall.
All the officials pricked up their ears, wanting to see how His Majesty would reward the Regent for his great contribution this time.
Li Ningyun looked at the Regent standing below him with a grin: "Regent, with your current status, I really have no reward to offer you."
Fu Liangping lifted his armor and knelt on one knee. "I don't need any reward. It is my duty to help the emperor!"
Li Ningyun raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Really? I was thinking of granting you a marriage as a reward, so..."
Upon hearing this, Fu Liangping subconsciously looked at Xun Qingyi who was standing behind him on the right. He saw Xun Qingyi's red face and she was shyly glancing at him.
Fu Liangping's heart was pounding.
Before Li Ningyun could finish, Fu Liangping interrupted him: "The thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. I thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Ningyun rolled her eyes: "Do you know who I'm talking about? Just thank me."
Fu Liangping just stared at Xun Qingyi without saying a word.
Li Ningyun: "..."
Why in such a reserved place in ancient times, do I have to eat such dog food?
The wedding date was set very quickly.
A month later, Xun Qingyi and Fu Liangping got married.
Li Ningyun presented a very generous gift.
Fu Liangping took a half-month vacation for his wedding.
Then on the first day of court, he directly submitted a memorial requesting to retire and return home.
Li Ningyun: "..."
Li Ningyun gritted her teeth and said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have granted you the marriage!"
Fu Liangping laughed like a fool: "Qingyi told me that even if His Majesty doesn't grant us marriage, Qingyi plans to marry me when I come back."
Li Ningyun: "It is impossible for you to resign. Not only that, you will have another mission in the future."
Fu Liangping pursed his lips, silently resisting the emperor.
Li Ningyun was so angry that she laughed: "You are getting bolder and bolder now!"
Fu Liangping rolled his eyes.
He, the emperor, and Xun Qingyi have been able to talk about anything for the past twenty years.
He and Xun Qingyi knew exactly what the emperor's temper was like.
The three of them were more like friends than king and ministers.
So when they were alone together, the two of them were very relaxed in front of Li Ningyun.
Li Ningyun ignored Fu Liangping's weak protest and directly ordered, "I plan to adopt a child from my clan. You will be responsible for educating him. The Yunqi Kingdom also needs to train an heir."
Upon hearing this, Fu Liangping looked at the emperor in shock: "Your Majesty."
Li Ningyun smiled and said, "It's just a matter of making plans early."
Fifteen years later, Li Ningyun handed over the country to the crown prince who was already capable of standing on his own, and then died.
When Fu Liangping and Xun Qingyi heard the news, they were so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time.
They didn't understand why the person who came to their house and stole a truckload of hot pot base yesterday was gone today?
The two men staggered to the palace, and all they saw was white and the deafening cries.
………………
"Congratulations, sir. Mission completed. Mission satisfaction rating is five stars. Mission reward is 100 points, totaling 1,700 points. Friendly reminder: Mission points can be exchanged for real money. The exchange rate is 1:10,000."
"Continue the mission."
………………
"Li Ningyun, even though Xuanmen is declining now, you are still a member of it. How can you stay out of it like this?"
When Li Ningyun woke up, she heard such a righteous voice.
The source of the voice was a woman. She was very young, with an oval face and a ponytail. She had a very neat and capable appearance.
Li Ningyun looked at the girl and smiled. "Fu Qian, why do you have to speak so righteously? Do you think I don't know the origins of this Huang Daxian?"
The panic in Fu Qian's eyes flashed away, and she soon calmed down.
Only my grandfather and I know the origin of this weasel.
There is absolutely no way she could know!
Thinking of this, Fu Qian snorted softly: "Stop talking nonsense, just say you don't want to help. You are a member of the Xuanmen! Killing demons and monsters is the responsibility of a member of the Xuanmen."
Li Ningyun waved his hand to interrupt Fu Qian's words of moral blackmail.
"Do you think I'm joking? This Huang Daxian is the guardian deity that your ancestors have worshipped. Back then, when your great-grandfather went up the mountain, he saw a weasel. Because he had been trapped in the mountains for several days and hadn't hunted for food, he shot and killed the weasel and ate it directly. Not only that, your great-grandfather was afraid that the weasel would seek revenge, so he blocked the weasel's nest and then smoked all the weasels to death with smoke. The ancestors of the weasel nest that your great-grandfather had killed came to seek revenge, and it was my great-grandfather who helped mediate, and only then did the Huang Daxian change his mind.
I decided to let your great-grandfather support it and help it achieve enlightenment. Later, it finally achieved enlightenment and could become an earthly immortal by praying to the moon and asking for a seal. But who knew that its fate was so bad that it happened to meet you when it asked for a seal.
"How old were you then? Eight or nine?"
Fu Qian's face changed drastically. She never expected that Li Ningyun not only knew, but also knew so much.
The group of Xuanmen people standing behind Fu Qian were looking at each other in confusion.
"Is this true? If that's the case, then this is a personal grudge."
"Yes, if this is true, according to the rules, we can't interfere."
Fu Qian became anxious after hearing the discussion behind her: "Don't listen to Li Ningyun's nonsense, it's not true at all! She's lying!"
Li Ningyun sneered, "Am I lying? Haha, that Huang Daxian originally thought that by asking for a seal from you, he could officially join the ranks of immortals. But what happened? What did you say? You simply said it was just an ordinary weasel, destroying all the magical powers it had cultivated with great difficulty."
Fu Qian panicked and defended herself, "I...I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, I was still young. How could I possibly know all this?"
Li Ningyun chuckled, "Really? Didn't you start learning Xuanmen Daoism from your grandfather when you were three years old? How is it possible that you don't even know this basic common sense?"
Fu Qian was speechless: "I... I just didn't know! I didn't mean it! What happened if I didn't react at the time?"
Li Ningyun smiled. "Okay! Let's just assume you didn't mean it, and that you didn't react. Then what happened next? Why did you just hit the weasel with a rock, severely injuring it?"
Fu Qian was completely panicked: "I... I was too scared at the time... so..."
Fu Qian no longer dared to look at the expressions of the group of Xuanmen people behind her.
She looked at Li Ningyun with great resentment.
It's all her fault! If she hadn't been so aggressive, how could I have been embarrassed in front of so many people?!
And those people in the Xuanmen were shocked at this moment.
They felt that their three views had been washed away.
Fu Qian is hailed as a talented figure in the Xuanmen sect among the younger generation.
Not only are his Xuanmen magic skills powerful, but his character is also top-notch.
But now it seems that there is some truth to this rumor.
Li Ningyun smiled and continued, "Now that Huang Daxian has recovered from his injuries and cultivated his skills, what's wrong with him coming to seek revenge on you? You are so eager to gather so many people from the Xuanmen, under the guise of slaying demons and eliminating evil, to help you resolve your personal grudge. Do you think the cultivation of so many people is so insignificant in your eyes?"
Li Ningyun scolded coldly, "Fu Qian! As a member of the Xuan Sect, how could you not know what the consequences would be if so many people helped you kill that vengeful weasel! You are acting for your own selfish desires, disregarding the cultivation and lives of so many Xuan Sect members present!"
The sound was not loud, but it frightened Fu Qian so much that she sat down on the ground.
He murmured, "I didn't! It's not like that!"
However, none of the Xuanmen people present felt sympathy for Fu Qian who was sitting on the ground.
The first thing one must do when entering the Xuanmen sect is to slay demons and eliminate evil.
Article 2: When you encounter the Five Immortals seeking revenge, you must handle it rationally. You can only persuade them, not force them. If you try to intervene forcefully without regard for the consequences.
At the very least, you'll lose all your cultivation, and at worst, your life. (This plane is fictional. If there are any settings that differ from the Five Northeastern Immortals you know, don't doubt it; they must be made up by the author. Everything is based on the author's imagination. Thank you for your cooperation~~ Love you all.)
So when Li Ningyun said this, all the people in Xuanmen looked at Fu Qian angrily.
Fu Qian couldn't bear the look and ran away in panic.
Those people from the Xuanmen looked at Li Ningyun and thanked him one after another.
If Li Ningyun hadn't spoken out the truth about the matter.
I guess no one present here will have a good ending.
Li Ningyun knew this clearly.
In the previous life, the original owner did not know about this.
As a member of the Xuanmen sect, Li Ningyun was aroused by Fu Qian's few words and his fighting spirit.
He just followed the group to the mountain without hesitation.
Then because they killed the revengeful Wong Tai Sin.
Huang Daxian's soul floated to the underworld and found the King of Hell to complain.
After the King of Hell found out the truth, he reported it directly to the Heavenly Dao.
Heaven sent down thunder, and the original owner died.
Of the 26 people in the group, none survived, only 6 survived, but all their cultivation was lost.
The heroine Fu Qian did not suffer much harm because she was protected by the magic weapon given by the fox demon.
