The Dai Viet Empire also changed, not long after the Zhao Kingdom changed!
Luo Liang carefully asked Nie Heng something to the effect of how to deal with the royal family and the royalists of the Dai Viet Empire next.
Nie Heng's answer is simple.
He wanted Luo Liang to return every inch of the occupied land of the Daxia Empire.
In addition, he said that as long as Luo Liang has that ability, what if he becomes an emperor?
He also said that as long as Luo Liang is ruthless enough, he can ask Hengtang of the Dai Viet Empire for help with some matters!
Of course, Luo Liang must keep this absolutely secret, just keep it to yourself!
Then Nie Heng left. Luo Liang thought for a long time and finally made a decision: to return to Zhao Kingdom and proclaim himself emperor!
He knew that since Nie Heng said this, he would get secret help from many forces, including that mysterious and increasingly powerful force - Hengtang!
…
The gate of Shuo City opened.
Liang Shiqi greeted him outside the gate. This was a rare greeting for him.
In the past, unless His Majesty came to Shuo City in person, he would not greet King Bingjian or the now dead Regent.
Nie Heng smiled and came on horseback with Zi Wei and Da Nang.
They did not choose to come through the air, nor did they fly directly into the city.
Because by doing that, he felt that it was disrespectful to the countless white-haired soldiers in Shuo City, and even more disrespectful to Liang Shiqi.
So he dismounted first, cupped his fists and bowed to Liang Qiqi: "Junior Xuanjian Sect disciple Nie Heng, pay your respects to the general!"
Outside the city gate, Liang Shiqi smiled, stroking his beard and smiling: now, he finally understood why the imperial edict said "no need to fight".
…
That night, Shuo City was very lively, with countless people singing and dancing, celebrating the end of a war, and thankful that Shuo City had avoided a catastrophe.
The general's mansion was even more brightly lit. Liang Shiqi, who had always been frugal, unexpectedly arranged hundreds of banquets, served a lot of big fish and meat, and also spent money to buy thousands of bottles of the best wine in Shuo City.
The General's Mansion was not spacious enough, so the banquet was placed directly on the street. The General's Mansion also borrowed a lot of tables and chairs from people around, and hired a lot of chefs and cooks to get everything they needed.
This shocked countless white-haired soldiers.
You know, they are very familiar with Liang Shiqi.
As the lord of Shuo City, Liang Qiyi's family members have always worn rags because Liang Qiyi felt that making new clothes was too expensive.
Also, he and his family hardly eat meat because it is too expensive.
Even if it was wine, Liang Shiqi drank low-grade spirits sold in small shops.
This is Liang Shiqi's style - frugality.
He wanted to set an example and lead his entire family and even the soldiers and people in the city to learn to be frugal.
Then the property saved through frugality will be used to pay for the soldiers who died in the battle, and to purchase new weapons, war horses, etc. for the other soldiers who are still alive...
Now...
How can people not be shocked that the General's Mansion actually spent so much money today?
But when Liang Shiqi said the name of today's banquet, everyone understood the general's painstaking efforts, and even more people burst into tears.
This banquet is called the "Armor Removal Banquet"!
Liang Shiqi knew that the Dayue Empire was completely defeated by Xuanjian Zong this time, or it could be said that the powerful Dayue Empire was destroyed in the hands of Nie Heng alone.
Therefore, he hoped that all the thousands of white-haired soldiers under his command could remove their armor and return to their fields.
If you should enjoy family happiness, go for it. If you should tutor your children and grandchildren, go for it. If you have other hobbies, such as traveling and sightseeing, collecting medicines and so on, go for it!
After all, the white-haired soldiers have already sacrificed too much, and they are all too tired...
Not only have they lost their youth, but their lifespan is now running out!
It’s time to give them real freedom and let them enjoy the peace and happiness they have exchanged for their lives!
It was precisely because he knew the name of the banquet that the thousands of white-haired soldiers who came to the banquet drank a lot of wine. Liang Shiqi raised the wine bowl again and again, without shedding tears, and drank it all!
He has treated his tears as strong wine and drank it!
Nie Heng also drank a lot of wine and paid tribute to these soldiers and Liang Shiqi!
…
Three days later, the head of the Liang family changed to someone else—Liang Zhan, the eldest son of Liang Shiqi, became the new head of the family.
Almost at the same time, the imperial decree of canonization arrived from the imperial court: His Majesty Li Chengwei canonized Liang Zhan as the new General Zhennan and the Lord of Shuo City.
After thanking the Holy Grace and accepting the decree, Liang Zhan immediately announced to the world that he would change his name to Liang Shiba from today...
Shuo City will still be an impregnable Shuo City!
And Liang Zhan will be Liang Shiba who has nine generations of loyal souls guarding Shuo City and whose bloodline is unbroken and the city cannot be broken!
…
"Senior, have you really let go?"
On the way back to Xuanjian Sect, Nie Heng smiled and asked Liang Shiqi a question: "Your career as a general!"
Hearing this, Liang Shiqi stroked his beard and smiled heartily, and replied: "His Majesty Li Chenghui can give up his status as emperor, so why would it be difficult for me to give up my career as a general? What's more, I have not given up fighting!"
OK!
I gave up my career as a general, but I didn’t give up fighting!
He is worthy of being one of the top five powerful men in the empire!
Nie Heng was very happy and joked: "But... our Xuanjian Sect can only give senior the position of elder now!"
"Pooh……"
Liang Shiqi smiled boldly: "Don't talk about elders, even ordinary disciples, I can do it!"
Having said this, he raised his head and looked at the sky above, his expression gradually becoming solemn: "Like Li Chenghui, I really want to follow you to see the world outside..."
This is his current dream: to see the world outside!
Nie Heng nodded and took the lead to quickly break through the air: "Definitely!"
Looking at Nie Heng's gradually shrinking figure, Liang Qiqi took a deep breath and thought to himself: You are the light of Xuanjian Sect, Nie Heng!
No……
After thinking about it, Liang Shiqi felt that he was wrong: Nie Heng was not only the light of the Xuanjian Sect, but he was not even the future of the Daxia Empire!
He believed that Nie Heng would be the real future and hope of the entire world!
"Hahaha...boy, let's compare our speed!"
After confirming all this, Liang Qiyi pushed his strength to the extreme and chased Nie Heng through the air in front.
…
In Yincheng, in the imperial palace, Li Chengwei sat above the main hall, listening to various reports or intelligence sent by civil and military officials.
After listening to all the good news and information, he looked at the newly appointed national advisor below and said solemnly: "I'm planning this! I..."
At this point, he suddenly remembered that he had never prepared the kind of imperial edict he was about to make.
So after a short pause, he stood up with a majestic look on his face.
"Tell those useless dogs of the Foyin Dynasty to get out of the borders of our Daxia Empire within three days, otherwise I will definitely crush the four useless dog sects of the Buddha Sect. Even if they have a useless dog emperor, I will kill him."
Dog head!"
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court were astonished.
The Imperial Master cautiously took half a step forward and asked, "Is this how you write it?"
"Just write it like this!" Li Chengwei raised his head proudly, thinking of a certain evildoer from the Xuanjian Sect.
If it were that evildoer who did this, I wonder if it would be more exciting?
Thinking of this, he laughed.
Then he turned around and his smile suddenly disappeared.
Behind him is the territory of the Daxia Empire.
There is a territory outlined in gray on the map.
There is the north of the river, there are the magnificent mountains and rivers that originally belonged to the empire, and there is a city there called Luo City!
Especially to the north of Luo City, there is a powerful enemy called the Hungarian Aviation Empire, and a powerful enemy called the Holy Lord!
