Chapter 513 Cheng Cheng Wants to Win Favor

The little devil immediately stood up and retorted, "Impossible! How can the merits of the Protector of the Country be transferred to the King of Zhennan? If it is calculated in this way, then does it mean that my son will not be able to become a talent in the future? I will fight outside and come back to give all the credit to my son?"

Seeing that he was angry, Prime Minister Shen immediately replied, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I was just predicting this in advance, but it doesn't mean it will happen. Maybe after the Protector of the Country knows about this, he will also think that the King of Zhennan is wrong."

Chu Jincheng sat down angrily, and while he continued to write the words "not approved", he muttered: "He'd better not stand on the side of King Zhennan, otherwise I don't want him as my uncle anymore!"

The indignant little boy was so heavy-handed when he wrote.

After Prime Minister Shen left with the memorial, the little devil sat on the dragon chair with an unhappy look on his face.

All that echoed in my mind were Prime Minister Shen's words.

The Duke of Huguo and the King of Zhennan had a close relationship.

How close...how close?

Luo Jingfeng once said that he was the most important person to him.

Then there should be only one most important person, right?

There shouldn't be two, right?

The little devil took out the token and held it tightly. This was given to him by Luo Jingfeng before he left. Because he was afraid that something might happen to him, he gave him 30,000 soldiers.

Since he has been given all the troops, he must be the most important one, right?

Jincheng was unsure.

He had never felt so unconfident before. He even began to reflect on how he had been treating Luo Jingfeng badly. If Luo Jingfeng didn't feel the uncle-nephew love from him, would he turn around and look for his elder brother?

"When he comes back, I have to be nice to him, so... then he should choose me, right?" Jin Cheng pondered and began to plan how to win his favor.

The little devil had no idea, so he started thinking about how Luo Jingfeng treated him. When they first met, the Luo family sent him many gifts, including delicious and fun things and... a yew bow.

That was a small bow and arrow that Luo Jingfeng had specially made for him using rare yew wood, but he disliked Luo Jingfeng at the time and just gave it to Shen Yibai.

Chu Jincheng suddenly remembered this matter and quickly stood up and shouted, "Eunuch Huang, summon Shen Yibai to see you."

"yes."

Shen Yibai was a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of Justice. He was overjoyed when he heard that he was summoned by the emperor alone. He was just waiting for some important task to be assigned to him so that he could make merit and get a promotion.

Recently, Wei Xinglu went to the border with the envoys for peace talks. He will definitely be promoted when he returns, and he doesn't want to fall too far behind his brothers.

"Your Majesty, what kind of work do you want me to do?" Shen Yibai rubbed his hands excitedly, "I'm eager to help you solve your problems!"

The little devil coughed and said, "Nothing, it's just the yew bow that the Protector of the Kingdom gave me before. Do you still have it?"

"Ah?" Shen Yibai said blankly, "It's still there, in my house, and I didn't dare to move it. I was afraid that the Protector of the Country would see it and beat me into a pulp in anger."

Jin Cheng stroked his forehead and said, "Give it back to me first, and I will give you another bow."

Shen Yibai asked subconsciously: "Is it also made of yew wood?"

Chu Jincheng: "..."

Shen Yibai: "..."

The two brothers looked at each other in silence, and Shen Yibai understood.

There are not as many good things in the palace as the Duke of Huguo’s, so the Emperor wants to exchange the small for the big and take back his yew bow.

Shen Yibai cried and howled: "Your Majesty! I thought there was some great work arranged for me! In the end, there is nothing, not even the yew bow is gone. You are too partial!"

The little devil said with a guilty conscience: "The Ministry of Justice hasn't had any major cases recently. Why don't you check their files and see if there are any unjust cases?"

Shen Yibai said with a gloomy face: "Isn't that like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

The little devil said seriously, "How could that be? There must be an injustice! Think about it, if you bring down an official, the position will be vacated, and you can get promoted, right?"

Shen Yibai's eyes lit up: "! That makes sense!"

The little devil heaved a sigh of relief and said with a grin, "Go quickly. If you encounter difficulties, come back to the palace. I will support you!"

"Okay!" Shen Yibai, who had been pumped with enthusiasm, was full of ambition.

After coaxing Xiaobai, the little devil successfully got back the yew bow.

Although yew wood is rare, Luo Jingfeng still made this bow for him based on his body shape when he was ten years old. Now that he is twelve years old, it is a little small for him to use, but he can still use it.

When Luo Jingfeng comes back, I will learn archery from him.

Spending more time alone together helps to foster relationships.

Thinking of this, he said to Eunuch Huang, "Go ask the Clothing Supervisor to order a set of uniforms for the Protector of the Country in grape purple. I also want a similar set, with the same color and pattern, the kind that you can tell at a glance that they are from the same family."

Eunuch Huang was confused: "Ah?"

Why did the Emperor suddenly become close to the Duke of Protectorate?

Chu Jincheng urged, "Go quickly."

Eunuch Huang said weakly: "But the Imperial Guard doesn't know the size of the Duke of Huguo..."

"Go to the Luo family and ask Mrs. Luo."

"...Yes." Eunuch Huang went to do his work with full of doubts. He prepared everything the little emperor wanted and placed them in his bedroom.

The day Luo Jingfeng came back, there was a roar of gongs and drums.

The whole capital city was in an uproar.

The people welcomed them with open arms, and every household was so happy that they wanted to set off firecrackers and loudly celebrate the army's victorious return.

Chu Jincheng brought civil and military officials to greet them in front of the palace gate.

Soon, the leader was seen from afar. He was dressed in armor and looked majestic. The proud Lord Protector of the Country held his head high and walked with confident and defiant strides.

After more than a year of expedition, Luo Jingfeng finally got to see his eldest nephew. He was obviously very happy and his steps became faster and faster.

The little devil couldn't wait any longer. When he saw Luo Jingfeng, he immediately left the place where he was standing to pick him up and trotted over.

Amidst countless surprised eyes, she rushed to Luo Jingfeng, raised her head excitedly and said, "Uncle, I missed you so much!"

When these words were spoken, all the officials dropped their jaws in shock.

This, this, this...are they blind?

Didn’t they say that the Emperor always quarreled with the Duke of Protectorate? How come they suddenly became so clingy after not seeing each other for over a year?

Could it be that the shaky relationship between the uncle and nephew was repaired through correspondence?

Luo Jingfeng himself was actually a little stunned.

He stood there without moving, letting his nephew hold him in his arms. His mind was a little unresponsive and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Although he really wanted his nephew to be close to him, like him and stick to him, when this moment really came, he always felt a bit like a dream.

He asked tentatively in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Cheng'er? What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

"No, no, who dares to bully me?" the little devil said with a big smile, "Welcome back to the court, our great hero, Lord Protector of the Country!"

The twelve-year-old boy has grown a lot taller.

Those big, round eyes are always so bright, as if they can speak, making people happy just by looking at them.

Luo Jingfeng was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, thank you for the reception, Your Majesty. I have conquered two more cities for you, as well as this eight-year truce compensation. I wish your Majesty: the country will be forever stable and peaceful, and the world will be at peace without worries. I, Luo Jingfeng, have fulfilled your mission!"
