Xiao Fen chuckled and said, "Strategist, why don't you tell me what reward you desire?"
"Your Majesty, I have no requests. If there is, I would like to ask that Your Majesty grant the soldiers who are returning home in triumph a three-day leave so that they can go home and see their families." Bai Rong's demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, which made people feel that he was no ordinary person.
"Very well, strategist. Since we have returned victorious this time, I will naturally reward all the soldiers. As you have suggested, I will give all the soldiers three days off and also grant them an additional three years' salary."
"On behalf of the soldiers, I thank Your Majesty for your grace."
"Good, good, good." Xiao Fen said "good" three times in a row. He was overjoyed and summoned the singers and musicians who had been waiting for a long time to come and entertain him.
The atmosphere was harmonious, with toasts and laughter filling the air.
Some people are destined to attract attention, like Xia Qimeng, who even hides her identity. Others, however, are destined to be just passersby; no one will care if they disappear. The so-called number one beauty is nothing more than an accessory at this royal banquet.
Wang Ci noticed the wine stains on Feng Guang's clothes. "How could you be so careless? Quickly go back to the carriage and change your clothes."
"Yes, Mother."
As daughters of prominent families, they cannot tolerate even the slightest flaw. Every time they go out, these young ladies prepare an extra set of clothes to deal with unexpected situations.
When Xiao Lü saw her young mistress suddenly return, she quickly understood what had happened. Xiao Zi hadn't come to the palace today, so she had to take care of her mistress herself. She helped Feng Guang into the carriage and said, "Miss, you can change your clothes inside. I'll keep watch outside."
"Okay." Feng Guang got in and closed the car door.
Actually, she only needed to change her outer garment, but you have to know that this is ancient times. Even if you don't wear your outer garment properly, it is considered that you are not properly dressed. She changed quickly, and suddenly heard two thuds outside. She opened the carriage door and a sword with a cold light was pressed against her neck.
"The young lady from the Prime Minister's residence?" The man was dressed in black, his face plain and unremarkable, except for his eyes, which were so black they were terrifying, as if his sword would fall if Feng Guang answered no.
Feng Guang nodded calmly.
He was pleased with her silence and got into the car. He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I just want you to do me a favor."
"My maid and coachman..."
"Don't worry, they've just passed out."
She glanced at his chest, where the black fabric was already soaked with blood. "You said you needed my help?"
"Whether I can leave the city and whether you can live depends on the reputation of your Prime Minister's Mansion." He smiled and reached out to press an acupoint on her shoulder.
The scenery was immediately rendered immobile.
"If you behave well, I'll keep my tongue for you."
Her face turned pale.
The man sat down opposite her, and soon the carriage started moving. Only then did Feng Guang realize that there were his accomplices outside.
He was seriously injured. He unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his strong chest and a bloody hole in his left chest. Just a few inches away, the knife would have pierced his vital spot. He used his teeth to open the stopper of the medicine bottle and poured the wound medicine onto the wound. Although he didn't make a sound, his heavy breathing proved that the medicine was definitely not pleasant.
After he tore off a piece of clothing to bandage the wound and finished treating everything, he looked up and saw that the girl opposite him had a flushed face. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "How is my body?"
"You need to get more sun."
Oh... that means he's too fair-skinned. Even though using "fair-skinned" to describe a man is quite inappropriate, he still felt honored and said, "This is one of my rare strengths."
Idiot.
Feng Guang finally swore today.
