"His Majesty."
Nangong Batian said respectfully, "Because of the battle at Yixiantian, many villains believe that Princess Qiuhe may not be able to return safely, so they have become even more rampant."
"But as the great battle ended, Chen Tianji's name resounded throughout the entire Southern Territory, and the imperial city calmed down overnight, with all the petty villains disappearing without a trace."
“They know very well where Chen Tianji grew up. If something really happens to Qi, none of them can withstand Chen Tianji’s wrath.”
Upon hearing this, Ning Qitian's lips curled into a smile.
Whenever Ning Qitian thinks of the current leader of the Southern Border, who once lived in the Qi Kingdom for eighteen years, he can't help but feel proud and honored.
Who says the Azure Dragon Realm is the weakest realm in the Southern Territory?
Who says Qi is the weakest country in the Azure Dragon Realm?
Your country has strong borders, so how come you couldn't produce a Chen Tianji?
pride!
An indescribable pride!
"To be honest."
Ning Qitian put down the memorial in his hand and said to Nangong Batian and Nangong Hong with emotion, "I really do miss him a bit. I just wonder if Chen Tianji, now the leader of the Southern Alliance, still remembers us old folks from the backwaters..."
As they were talking, Ning Qitian suddenly noticed that Nangong Batian and Nangong Hong had strange expressions, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Why do you all look so pale? Did you eat flies?"
"Cough cough..."
The father and son immediately cleared their throats.
At this moment, a playful voice rang out from behind Ning Qitian.
"So, in His Majesty's eyes, I am such a heartless and ungrateful person?"
Ning Qitian's eyes widened suddenly, and he sprang up from his chair, turning around as if he had seen a ghost!
"Chen Tianji? What are you doing here?"
Chen Tianji grinned and said, "Why can't I be here? If I'm not here, how can I prove to His Majesty that I'm not the kind of person who looks down on old friends?"
"Cough cough..."
Ning Qitian blushed and turned around to glare fiercely at Nangong Batian and Nangong Hong.
No wonder that old codger Nangong Batian suddenly started flattering Chen Tianji while talking about military affairs. It turns out he had already seen Chen Tianji and deliberately brought up this topic to set a trap for Ning Qitian.
Seeing Ning Qitian's face turn as red as a monkey's bottom, Nangong Batian and Nangong Hong could no longer hold back and burst into laughter, bending over backwards and unable to close their mouths.
Ning Qitian coughed again, then waved his hand and said, "Guards, quickly prepare a banquet! I want to have a good drink with Alliance Leader Chen!"
"Here you go!"
At this moment, the chief eunuch and the palace guards in the imperial study, upon learning that the young man before them was Chen Tianji, the leader of the Southern Territory, were trembling with excitement, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. Upon hearing that Ning Qitian was going to host a banquet, the chief eunuch, who was usually as composed as a still lake despite his inner turmoil, was so excited that he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"This idiot..."
Seeing this, Ning Qitian smiled helplessly, then turned to Chen Tianji and said, "You brat... Alliance Leader Chen, what brings you to Qi Kingdom today?"
Chen Tianji laughed and said, "His Majesty just said he missed me, so why can't I also want to see you? After all, Qi is where I was born and raised. No matter how vast the outside world is, returning to Qi always feels like coming home."
Chen Tianji's words were not just polite talk.
Given his current status, he doesn't need to say anything polite to anyone.
Although Chen Tianji is a member of the Chen family of the Southern Heaven Realm, the Qi Kingdom of the Azure Dragon Realm has always been his hometown, and that has never changed.
