He was reluctant to send Qin Zhirou to the carriage back to the Qin Mansion and watched the carriage disappear at the corner of the alley. Zhao Fucai returned to the Zhao Mansion in a daze. When he passed by the guest room where Hu Yuan was, he found that Hu Yuan had woken up. Perhaps because of his weak body, the food discharged from the table not far from the bed fell all over the floor, and Hu Yuan only had his lower body on the bed, and his upper body was already lying on the ground and was constantly eating the food he had pulled from the table.

Hu Yuan had no impression of Zhao Fu, but he was deeply impressed by the Tang sword on Zhao Fu's waist. He immediately thought of who it was. In a hurry, he wanted to kneel down to salute Zhao Fu, but in the end he fell under the bed.

Zhao Fu quickly helped him back to the bed, and even asked the maid to make some porridge and bring it over.

He fed Huo Yuan to drink porridge. After drinking two sips, he found that Huo Yuan shed more tears than the porridge he drank. Zhao Fu was helpless and had to put the porridge bowl aside first and use internal breath to help Huo Yuan stabilize his injuries, making him look better.

Anyone who is surprised when he first comes into contact with a mysterious thing like Qi, Hu Yuan stares at Zhao Fu's palm with his eyes widened - he can clearly feel a cool warm current. Yes, a cool and warm aura is transmitted to his body through Zhao Fu's palm.

Zhao Fu smiled at him, could he guess his surprise, "Do you want to learn?" He pointed to his palm.

Zhao Fu used a simple Hu language. Although his accent was weird, it did not hinder communication. Hu Yuan nodded quickly and leaned forward desperately to salute Zhao Fu on the bed. Fortunately, Zhao Fu was very strong and forced him back.

"First, finish eating." Zhao Fu brought the porridge over and put it in Huqianyuan's hand.

Hu Yuan did not shed tears this time, and drank the porridge very resolutely and quickly, and then he looked at Zhao Fu with anticipation; Zhao Fu ignored his expectant eyes and handed him a scallion cake; Hu Yuan struggled with the facial pain muscles, ate the scallion cake again, and then looked at Zhao Fu with expectant expectations; Zhao Fu still ignored him and threw an apple. This time Hu Yuan ate even harder, and saw his face twitching from time to time, Zhao Fu swears this is the most hideous way he has ever seen to eat apples, but Hu Yuan still swallowed the apples.

Hu Yuan did not feel insulted or teased because of this. Even in pain, he still looked at Zhao Fu calmly after eating, as if no matter what Zhao Fu gave him, even gods could eat it for Zhao Fu to see.

"First, learn Chinese." Zhao Fu could only praise the nerves of this alien boy were too tough.

Hu Yuan was a little disappointed in his eyes, but he immediately knew the reason and nodded to Zhao Fu repeatedly, "Teach... Chinese... I... learn!"

Zhao Fu nodded and asked him to rest well. He also asked Cao Zhongqing to invite a few gentlemen to teach Huyuan Chinese in the morning.

There is a reason why Zhao Fu took great care of Hu Yuan. The potential that Hu Yuan burst out on the battlefield made Zhao Fu very optimistic. Such a general should be in good hands even if he could not be conquered. What surprised Zhao Fu the most was even the sentence "I will be a slave for life, and a general for my life."

At first, Zhao Fu really thought it was a miracle, and a complete loyalty word suddenly appeared from a Hu boy who couldn't speak Chinese. What is this not a miracle? Later, when Ma Xiong asked about this Hu boy, Zhao Fu told Ma Xiong this "miracle" magically, but it caused Ma Xiong to laugh so hard that he almost fell off the horse's back.

It turns out that this sentence is not original, but Xia Yingyang's loyalty to Zhao Fu's father Zhao Yicheng. Xia Yingyang is a mixed-blood man of Hu and Han. Although he grew up in Beiting, he was treated as a slave all day because of his humble mother's status. Until he met Zhao Yicheng, Zhao Yicheng pityed the child and brought him back to Lanting. The first Chinese saying that Xia Yingyang learned afterwards was "Be a slave for life and a general." At that time, Xia Yingyang was no longer young, but he showed Zhao Yicheng the Chinese saying he had just learned to show him like a child. Then Xia Yingyang joined the army and was indeed a powerful general. With his military achievements, he sat firmly in the position of the three commanders of Lanting.

"The Hu people in Beiting admire heroes more than betrayal. Xia Yingyang is such a hero, so his story has long been spread in Beiting." Ma Xiong explained to Zhao Fu.

But Zhao Fu was even happier after hearing this. Doesn’t this mean that he is the person whom Huyuan has been waiting for his loyalty? Thinking of the three requests he made, two have been achieved: Huyuan and Qin Zhirou, and the remaining army is not difficult, Lanting is the military city!

Although Zhao Fu is only thirteen years old, he now feels like a winner in life.

The battle with the left tent was just a small episode. Lantingcheng was still living the life of Lantingcheng, and Beiting was still living the bloody life of Beiting, and Kyoto was living the prosperous life of Kyoto. Zhao Fu was also living his life, practicing martial arts every day, playing various fun games with Qin Zhirou, and then he went to the military camp to form a battle formation with Goudan and others to "contact" with the veterans.

Feng Yu's battle report was also sent to Kyoto in the past few days. Of course, he would not write that Zhao Fu was not willing to take a team of new soldiers out of the frontier despite the strong opposition of the commander of Lanting's garrison, but wrote that the Hu people who came into the left tent of Beiting were very restless and invaded. Xia Yingyang pointed in anger and personally led his troops to patrol the border defense. Unexpectedly, he was trapped in luring the enemy. Zhao Fu was taking a team of new soldiers at that time. When he learned that Commander Xia was besieged, he hurriedly led his troops to rescue... In short, even if he wanted to smear Xia Yingyang, he would have to put the credit on Zhao Fu.

Lanting City is a peaceful place, originally a simple military city. Even if the business and travelers gather, it did not change the simple lifestyle of Lanting people. The little emperor of the capital, Lin Haoyan, still lived a luxurious imperial life somewhere. Lin Haoyan lived a very comfortable life with the wealthy national treasury accumulated by his father.

"Your Majesty, Archbishop Siboluo asks for a meeting." Lin Haoyan is quite "diligent" in government affairs, or it is more appropriate to describe it as a desire to control. Before the young emperor even had time to experience the dark palace battle, he took over a prosperous country from his father: the national treasury is full and the army is strong. People born in this way are born with a sense of superiority. They are used to sitting high and looking down at others' kneeling consciences, and naturally think that control should be his habit.

However, the country seems to be increasingly out of his control: the northwest garrison government sent troops privately, and the Cross Holy Church actually wanted to open their church in the capital city, and the south had just experienced a drought, and many people were unable to recover, waiting for the court to allocate funds to provide disaster relief.

The northwest thing is a small matter, it is nothing more than to discuss the credit and suppress other factions' voice in Lantingcheng. Lin Haoyan glanced at the memorial and sent it directly to the military headquarters. However, the drought and famine years in the south are not a big deal. The founding emperor Lin Fengyi had already set a prescribed disaster relief process for this disaster year, and just let the people from the Ministry of Rites and Revenue do it. But this Cross Holy Sect gave Lin Haoyan a headache.

The emergence of the Cross Holy Church was very abrupt. It only took several years to appear in the Lanhe Empire, but many believers developed and built their churches in many towns. This is not a problem. There are both temples and Taoist temples in the Lanhe Empire, but the Cross Holy Church and Buddhism are completely different. The Cross Holy Church has reached a state of near-fanity in political participation - their churches will definitely be built in conspicuous places, or even opposite the county government! In the minds of many people, the judgment of the Cross Holy Church is more fair and just than the county government government. What is even more terrifying is that the Cross Holy Church actually recruited a large number of private soldiers, called it to protect kind believers.

"Go and invite the elder of the country!" Lin Haoyan frowned and said, "Let that bishop come in too."

"With blessings from the west, it is honored to see you, Your Majesty of the great Eastern Empire!" A blond man in a white robe walked in and bowed to Lin Haoyan to salute. "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the Archbishop of the Holy Church, and I travel east to preach according to the will of my God..."

"Our Lanhe Empire doesn't need these things." Lin Haoyan waved his hand in disgust. "You'd better go somewhere else."

Li Fu, the old man from Li Guo, is one of the old ministers left by Lin Haoyan's father. Unlike other old ministers, Li Fu knows how to see Lin Haoyan's eyes, so he is the only minister who has not been gradually eliminated by Lin Haoyan. He also won the title of this old man from the several proposals of the Holy Heart of Hehuan - Li Fu is good at li and good at winning the credit. Lin Haoyan also needs such a heavyweight minister to help him complete some proposals that are prone to opposition.

"Your Majesty, I think the Archbishop's words are still reasonable. The Holy Church is still beneficial to strengthening Your Majesty's rule over Lanhe..."

Lin Haoyan was surprised. Is Mr. Li’s eyes not working today? Didn’t you see that he was worried?

Si Boluo was happy and thought that he had not spent the money in the wrong place. He hurriedly followed Li Fu's words, "Your Majesty, I came by the will of God, to you... no," Si Boluo paused here deliberately. "He came with kindness to Your Majesty, your Lanhe Empire." After that, he took out a delicate sheepskin scroll from his arms and presented it to Lin Haoyan with both hands.

Lin Haoyan hummed and opened the sheepskin scroll, but even he took a breath - he guessed that it must be a gift list, but he didn't guess that the weight of this gift list was so heavy!

Lin Haoyan thought that he definitely did not have his father, or his grandfather was more talented, so he did not have high requirements for himself and was a good master. Therefore, the various tax rates were still at a low proportion. The gift list given by Siboluo was almost comparable to half of the treasury. This was not his treasury, but the accumulation of the Lanhe Empire in the past dynasties!

The last column of the parchment scroll reads: I am willing to sign Lin Haoyan as the Holy Emperor of the Cross Holy Sect!

This is a great gift that Lin Haoyan thought. Living under the shadow of his father's saint king, the wise king, does not want to do great things, but it is too difficult. Lin Haoyan is destined to be a successful king. And if he accepts the Cross Holy Sect, it will be a unique achievement that has been recorded in history!

Siboluo looked at the young emperor with a smile, while Li Fu looked at the master nervously and expectantly.
Chapter completed!
