Jiang Sheng saw the shocked expression on Li Maozhen's face and felt amusement secretly in his heart. He smiled and cupped his hands towards her and said, "Your Majesty, I'm glad you have lived up to your fate."
"……Thanks for your hard work."
After Li Maozhen came back to her senses, she looked at Jiang Sheng with complex expressions in her beautiful eyes.
Originally, Li Maozhen regarded Jiang Sheng as a subordinate who could be reused, but now that she saw him beating the crap out of tens of thousands of Jin troops by himself, she couldn't help but feel a little fear in her heart.
Jiang Sheng noticed Li Maozhen's strangeness and said with an indifferent smile: "It is Chen's duty to relieve the prince's worries."
Ever since Jiang Sheng took the initiative to ask Ying to destroy those catapults, he had already made plans to reveal his true strength, so he had already begun to think of countermeasures.
On the other side, the catapults of the Jin army were destroyed, and Li Cunxu was killed by Jiang Sheng. Not only could the Jin army not be able to capture Fengxiang City, they had even begun to fall into chaos because they were leaderless.
More than ten minutes later, some Jin soldiers at the rear of the army saw that something was not going well and began to secretly turn around and run away. As the first deserter appeared, tens of thousands of Jin soldiers began to disperse like a snowball.
.
"All troops attack!"
When Li Maozhen saw that the Jin army began to collapse on a large scale, she naturally would not let go of the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog. With a wave of her hand, the Nine Heavens Saint Princess each led a group of troops to pursue the fleeing Jin army.
Those defeated Jin troops were naturally no match for Jiutian Shengji and the others. In less than two hours, tens of thousands of Jin troops were completely defeated by the troops led by Jiutian Shengji.
In this Fengxiang battle, only a few hundred people died in the Qi army, and only more than 2,000 people were injured. However, more than 50,000 people died in the Jin army, and more than 40,000 Jin soldiers became Qi prisoners.
Some lucky guys escaped from the battlefield, but the number of Jin troops who successfully escaped could not exceed a hundred at most.
…
After the war, Li Maozhen specially held a celebration banquet at Prince Qi's Mansion and invited Jiang Sheng and other meritorious ministers there.
"Thanks to Deputy Boss Chen for killing Li Cunxu in this battle, otherwise we would not have achieved such results. Deputy Boss Chen, I offer you a toast."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Jiang Sheng raised the wine glass in front of him, saluted Li Maozhen, and drank the wine in one gulp.
At the following celebration banquet, Li Maozhen, who was in a good mood, toasted several glasses of wine to other meritorious ministers.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Maozhen turned to Jiang Sheng as if inadvertently: "Deputy Boss Chen, you are the first to win this battle. I allow you to put forward a condition. As long as I can do it, I can do it."
Promise you."
As Li Maozhen finished speaking, Jiutian Shengji's face changed slightly at the same time, and she secretly mobilized the internal power in her body. As long as Jiang Sheng showed his desire to rebel, they would join forces with Li Maozhen to kill him.
After Jiang Sheng noticed the strangeness of Jiutian Shengji, a hint of hidden teasing flashed in his sword eyes. He raised his head and said to Li Maozhen, who was sitting in the first place: "Since the prince said so, Chen Jiang can no longer hide it.
Yes. The reason why I chose to take refuge with the prince is not only because I believe that the prince can sit on the throne of the Nine-Fifth Emperor, but also because I admire the empress very much..."
"Cough cough cough..."
As soon as Jiang Sheng finished speaking, Qiqi, who was drinking fruit wine, couldn't help but spit out all the wine in her mouth. She looked at him as if she saw a madman.
Although not many people know that the Empress is King Qi, Qiqi and the others naturally know this as evolutionaries. Jiang Sheng said that he admires the Empress in front of Li Maozhen. Isn't this equivalent to teasing Li Maozhen in person?
?
Jiang Sheng ignored Qiqi, who was choking on her drink, and continued with a serious face: "If the prince really wants to give me a reward, then I hope that the prince can betroth the empress to me."
"..."
Li Maozhen and Jiutian Shengji looked at Jiang Sheng's extremely serious look, and could not help but twitch the corners of their mouths slightly, with speechless expressions on their pretty faces.
If King Qi and the empress were two people, then in order for King Qi to win over a fierce general like Jiang Sheng, she would definitely agree to Jiang Sheng's request.
But King Qi and the Empress are the same person, so it’s impossible for Li Maozhen to betroth herself to him just to win over Jiang Sheng, right? Wouldn’t that mean that Li Maozhen brought the entire Qi Kingdom to join him?
Li Maozhen's pretty face blushed slightly, and she said with some embarrassment: "Well... Deputy Boss Chen, you'd better change your request!"
When Jiang Sheng heard Li Maozhen's words, he made an expression as if he had been struck by lightning. He shook his head with a disappointed face and said: "Oh... that's all! A gentleman will not take away someone's love, since the empress is already the prince's.
, then I can only wish the empress happiness."
"..."
Jiutian Shengji heard that Jiang Sheng actually thought that the empress was King Qi's woman, and a look of amusement appeared in her beautiful eyes. If Li Maozhen hadn't been here, they might have laughed out loud.
After Jiang Sheng slowly recovered from his 'loss', he looked directly into Li Maozhen's eyes and said seriously: "Your Majesty, if you really want to reward me, then I have only one request. I only ask you to treat the empress well.
Don't let her down."
When Li Maozhen heard this, she felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel a little moved and proud in her heart. She nodded with a serious face and said: "I promise you that I will never let down the empress in this life."
"..."
When Yan Ruyu and the other three saw this, they couldn't help but twitch their mouths slightly. If it weren't for the fact that they knew that Jiang Sheng was an evolver, I'm afraid they really thought that Jiang Sheng was an infatuated lover?
However, she was speechless. Yan Ruyu still admired Jiang Sheng's wit. She already understood Jiang Sheng's intention. Although Jiang Sheng's sudden confession to the empress seemed a little embarrassing, she also successfully dispelled Li Maozhen's suspicion of him.
…
After the celebration banquet, Li Maozhen glanced at Jiang Sheng, who was already drunk. A trace of unbearable color flashed in his beautiful eyes.
Although it was impossible for Li Maozhen to fall in love with Jiang Sheng because of his confession, she still felt a little sorry for him when she saw that Jiang Sheng was drowning his sorrows in drinking.
"Come here, prepare a carriage to take Deputy Chief Chen back to the Chen Mansion."
"yes!"
When the two maids from Huanyinfang heard what Li Maozhen said, they quickly picked up Jiang Sheng, who was already drunk and turned into a puddle of mud, and left Prince Qi's Mansion.
Two maids drove Jiang Sheng back to the Chen Mansion in a carriage. After the maids in the mansion helped him back to his bedroom, Jiang Sheng, who should have been drunk and unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes.
The bright sword eyes are full of agility, how can he be even half drunk?
Jiang Sheng touched his chin and murmured to himself: "I guess I managed to cope with it, right?"
