After the end of the Holy War, the Daewoo Empire's troops quickly withdrew. According to the Holy War agreement, within the next two years, the Daewoo Empire was not allowed to invade the Daqian Empire again.
It was originally supposed to be for one year, but because of Park Jin-woon's arrogance, he didn't take the Daewoo Empire's players seriously and directly proposed two years, which made Daewoo Empire's preparations over the years completely go to waste.
There was joy in Beiling City, and the people here could finally continue to live a peaceful life. In addition, the Jihad Agreement clearly stated that the Dayu Empire would completely withdraw from the Daqian Empire, so Yancheng naturally returned to the Daqian Empire. Within the territory, Yancheng's terrain is difficult and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It will definitely not be as easy for the Daewoo Empire to capture it again as it was this time.
The next day, Tang Li, Ji Rou, Ji Xian and others began to march towards the imperial city of the Daqian Empire. None of them expected that the war would end so quickly.
Because of the identities of Ji Rou and Ji Xian, everyone went very smoothly without encountering any obstacles. A month later, everyone appeared at the palace of the Daqian Empire.
The palace of the Daqian Empire was countless times larger than the palace of the Tianlong Empire, and its level of luxury made Tang Li secretly sigh. At this time, Tang Li felt like he was a native.
At this time, there was joy everywhere in the palace, and they were celebrating the victory of this war.
It was morning at this time, and the emperor was attending the morning court.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
All the ministers knelt down one after another.
"Everyone loves me!"
Emperor Ji Taiping of the Daqian Empire smiled and waved gently.
"My dear friends, do you have something to report?"
Ji Taiping glanced at the ministers below, and then stopped at the third prince Ji Lei who was standing in the front row.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
At this time, a middle-aged man with a mustache came to the front of the court and bowed.
This man was Wu Shen, the deputy prime minister of the current dynasty. He held great power and held a pivotal position in the Daqian Empire. Even some princes were in awe of him.
"I believe that His Highness the Third Prince is indispensable for the Moon Worshiping Empire's withdrawal of its troops this time, and His Majesty should reward him."
Wu Shen said.
"I also agree with Prime Minister Wu's proposal. In the Battle of Panlong Pass, His Highness the Third Prince strategized and commanded the three armies, allowing our army to defeat the Moon Worshiping Empire's army. It was definitely a remarkable feat. Your Majesty should reward His Highness the Third Prince."
General He Chen of the left stepped forward and agreed.
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
"..."
At one time, six ministers stood up, and it was obvious that they were in the same camp as the third prince.
"Father, I think this is absolutely impossible!" At this time, Ji Lei also came to the center of the court and said: "The battle of Panlong Pass, if it were not for the bravery of the generals and the bloody fighting of the soldiers, I would not No matter how powerful the command is, what's the use? Therefore, I believe that the greatest contribution of this battle belongs to the generals and soldiers. What's more, as your son, I help your father defend the country. This is my son's duty. It is your duty as a minister, how dare you think of greed for merit?"
As soon as he said this, Ji Taiping nodded with satisfaction. He had such an awareness at a young age and was not proud or complacent or taking credit for himself. This was the son he wanted most.
The corners of Ji Lei's mouth raised slightly. With his current status, no amount of rewards could compare to a good impression on Ji Taiping.
Of course, it's not that Ji Lei doesn't want anything. For example, the position of prince is definitely what he is most interested in.
"Brother Sanhuang is right, he really has no merit."
At this time, a man and a woman walked in, passed directly past the ministers, and went to the front of the court.
It was Ji Rou and Ji Xian, and only people with their status were qualified to enter the court without being summoned.
"Ji Rou, how dare you come back! It's because of you that my Daqian Empire almost fell into despair!"
Ji Lei pointed at Ji Rou and shouted.
"My son, please see your father!"
Ji Rou and Ji Xian saluted respectfully.
Ji Taiping frowned slightly, with a somewhat unhappy look on his face: "Rou'er, what did you do before?"
"My son heard that the seven-star moon-facing lotus appeared on the border and took people to pick it."
Ji Rou responded calmly, not feeling panic at all.
"Nonsense! Ji Rou, do you know that this time it was because you disobeyed your father's order and did not marry into the Kamikaze Empire? When the Moon Worshiping Empire and the Dayu Empire joined forces to deal with us, the Kamikaze Empire did not send troops, and we almost lost our lives. Our Daqian Empire is in dire straits!" Ji Lei saw that Ji Rou didn't answer him just now, and shouted again: "As a royal princess of our Daqian Empire, you don't even have the consciousness to make such a sacrifice. Ji Rou, do you know your guilt! "
"Rou'er, it's a good thing that you went to pick the Seven Star Xiangyue Lotus regardless of the danger for your mother, but do you know how much loss you caused to our Daqian Empire by your sudden disappearance?"
Ji Taiping looked at Ji Rou coldly. As a father, he wanted to give Ji Rou a chance to explain. If the answer dissatisfied him, in this case, he would never care about the relationship between father and daughter.
"Father, you have misunderstood the Seventh Emperor's sister. The reason why I was able to resolve the crisis in the empire this time is all thanks to the Seventh Emperor's sister."
At this time, Ji Xian stepped forward and said.
"That's sheer nonsense. The army of the Moon Worshiping Empire was clearly retreated by His Highness the Third Prince. How can the Seventh Princess take credit for it?"
"Haha, Your Highness, Third Prince, what you said has gone through your brain, right? Just now the Seventh Princess said that she privately took people to the border to pick the Seven-Star Moon Lotus. How can you say that she resolved the crisis in the empire? "
"Hahaha, this is simply the biggest joke I have ever heard."
Wu Shen and others mocked him one after another. Although Ji Xian was no match for Ji Lei in the court, Ji Xian always stood opposite Ji Lei, which made them full of hostility.
"Since the emperor dares to say such things in front of the father, I think he must have his reasons. Why don't you tell us, why do you say that it was the Seventh Emperor's sister who resolved the crisis in the empire this time?"
The corners of Ji Lei's mouth raised slightly. If Ji Xian failed to tell the reason, this would be an opportunity to give Ji Xian a fatal blow.
"It doesn't take much from you, I will report this matter to my father."
Ji Rou said coldly. Now he was very confident. He said respectfully to the emperor: "The emperor's sister and I just came back from Beiling City, because not only did we ride flying monsters along the way, but we also used teleportation arrays. Therefore, the news from Beiling City should not have been sent back yet."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the court whispered, could it be that something happened in Beiling City?
