Chapter 5

“Good!” Hearing this, Rong Xiangwang couldn’t help but applaud, pacing around the room, his blood boiling, “Uncle, can I go? The war in Western Qin needs reinforcements, right?!”

“No!”

As soon as these words came out, the second aunt was the first to disagree. Who knew that Xiang Wang actually knelt down on the spot, clasping his fists and pleading, “Eldest uncle, mother, let me go. I want to personally kill the Lord of the Western Qin Kingdom to avenge my father’s death!”

Looking at this nephew who is very much like his own brother, the British Duke was very pleased, and seemed to have a thousand words, but in the end, he only uttered one sentence: “Your father is no more, if you have any faults, how can I explain to him underground?”

Rong Xiangwang was not afraid at all: “My father died for the country, if I can also die for the country, when I see my father in the ground, he will only praise me as a good son of the Rong family! People always have to die, and it is a great fortune to die in a favorable way!”

Saying this, Rong Xiangwang kowtowed on the spot. Rong Xiangwang didn’t realize that her eyes had blurred so much that she couldn’t see little Rong’s face.

She had always known that the seemingly flighty and uninhibited Xiangwang carried a blood feud in his heart. In his last life, he had never had the chance, and living with the name of Great General Rong’s son, he had not lived willingly. Now the opportunity has come!

His Majesty’s golden words did not stop Rong Xiangwang from joining the army. He followed General Song away from the capital.

At the Palace of Sublime Government, His Majesty said helplessly to the Duke of England: “It’s just a matter of time. Young people are full of vigor, and so is Yang Hsien! When your family’s Erlang was in trouble, he was only a few years old, and he was clamoring to fulfill Great General Rong’s legacy. Western Qin has been lurking for so many years, just to fight this life and death battle!”

Until this moment, the Lord of England to understand , why the Fourth Highness garrison for many years, the emperor has never summoned him back, the original emperor has long been informed.

This war straight for half a year.

Rong Xiangmei daily in the Buddha Hall, for the big brother examination prayers, for the war prayers, for the younger brother prayers, but also quietly for another never met people prayers.

She knew that there was a man there named Zhou Xian Yang, the son of the Abolished Empress, her future husband, and the bravest and best son of the national dynasty.

Rong Xiangyang was used to a lot of things that happened as expected, so she was in panic and confusion when faced with a war that didn’t happen in her last life.

All sorts of true and false news came in, some said they won, some said they lost. One night, she had a nightmare about a blurry person with his throat slit and warm blood spurting out onto her.

She was afraid it was the Fourth Highness. I don’t know why, but she was so worried about someone she had never met. She had no choice but to draw or do some needlework so that she could distract herself.

The entire British Duke’s Mansion had spent the most fearful year.

Fortunately, the eldest son of Rong Xiang Gu is a calm, the new subject of high school flower. Full of military generals of the British House, for the first time to train the son of God’s disciples.

The emperor was also very happy, appointed Rong Xiang Gu into the Hanlin Academy. This should be a big wedding, because of the war in the country, the Rong family did not make a big fuss, only invited a few close relatives to celebrate a low-key.

Before the banquet began, the British Lord came back from the palace and brought news: “General Qi wrote that the army has already attacked the Western Qin capital city, but we have lost contact with His Highness, and it has been more than a month since then, so we are afraid that the fate of the Fourth Highness will be very bad.”

The second aunt heard this and immediately hugged Xiangmian for fear that she would not be able to bear the news. Softly chanting, “Then what about Xiangmian’s marriage?”

The British Duke’s wife was calm: “If the Fourth Highness meets an untimely end, let’s talk about a good family ……”

The Duke of England shook his head, “I’ve asked for the name, but if something happens to His Highness before he gets married, who would dare to discuss the marriage?”

The second aunt immediately questioned, “Do you want her to delay her whole life for a fiancé she has never met?”

What marriage? Rong Xiangmian didn’t care at all. She only wished for the war to calm down. The fifth brother would return home soon, the fourth highness would be safe, and she could be a girl at home for the rest of her life.

On the third day of the waxing moon, the coldest day after winter, the news finally came.

The soldiers who sent the letter, their faces red with cold, their mouths spraying white mist, shouted all the way from the South China Gate to the entrance of the palace: His Fourth Highness captured the Lord of Western Qin alive, and Western Qin raised the country to surrender!

These words, replacing the surrender of the Sixth Princess, became this year, no, one of the grandest events ever in the national dynasty.

In the Chongzheng Hall, His Majesty revealed a cheerful smile that he hadn’t seen in over ten years.

Recovering Western Qin, this is the wish of Emperor Tai Zu since the founding of the country, and such an unparalleled achievement has finally been accomplished in the hands of His Majesty. From now on, the people in the border area no longer need to suffer from the Western Qin army and bandits.

The king’s division rushed to triumph before the New Year’s Eve, the Duke of England’s House, like other families in the capital, spent a large sum of money in the vicinity of the South China Gate, the best location of the Smoke and Rain Building on the second floor of the fixed a elegant room.

When the people gathered downstairs let out the biggest cheers, they all flocked to the window and saw Rong Xiangxiang, saw Qi old general, and some strange-looking generals.

Rong Xiangwang caught a glimpse of a youth riding a black steed beside Old General Qi. Not only because he was the one with the most outstanding looks and demeanor in the crowd, but he felt that this person looked familiar?

I could tell that he was a bit tired, unlike the way the fifth brother was sitting on his high horse, enjoying the cheers and praise, so complacent. But it was this fatigue that caused an unspeakable emotion to well up in Rong Xiangmian’s heart.

Intuition told her that this was the Fourth Highness.

His Fourth Highness didn’t care much about everything around him, and couldn’t even see half a trace of joy.

Rong Xiangmian wanted to run down and tell him to his face: you are truly marvelous! You’ve changed the fate of many people.

Of course, she wasn’t crazy enough to do such a thing.

“You guys, look, brother’s face is all smiles!”

“I think his tail is going to the sky!”

“Xiangwang has been like this since he was a child, you can’t praise him, if you do, you’ll make a mistake.”

As the family members were discussing, Rong Xiangwen, who was straight-talking, pulled his mother and asked, “Which one is the Fourth Highness? The one in black?”

“It should be, the right age, and his demeanor is different from the others.”

Xiang Wen got energized and hugged Xiang Xian and said softly, “Fourth sister, I thought that the Fourth Highness was a person who killed in the battlefield and looked very fierce. I didn’t expect that he was born with such a good appearance! Hee hee …… aren’t you happy ……”

Rong Xiangxian hurriedly broke away from her, “You’re talking crazy again.” After saying that, it’s not good to look at it again and walk back to the table to drink tea by herself.

“Third sister, look at fourth sister being shy!” Rong Xiangwang laughed nervously, not noticing Rong Xiangzhi staring at the crowd downstairs and humming.

Rong Xiangwang first went to the battlefield and performed valiantly, His Majesty was pleased and appointed him as a full third rank Longchamp General, honoring him for his bravery and being the first to fight, which makes him an exemplary male in the national dynasty.

Due to his physical disability, the Duke of England has been in the military for many years and has only received a virtual post. Because of this war, in the rear of the advice, his majesty rewarded the merit, and was awarded the Wuying Hall University Professor.

On the day of the reunion banquet, the Duke of England’s residence set off big firecrackers. The Yuqing Hall was full of people. The second aunt is naturally the most happy, but once he saw his son behind the ear injury, immediately embraced the heart of the flesh and cried a, and said that he is tanned, and said that he lost weight, a good time to persuade.

Rong Xiangwang met his elders, and then met his brother and sisters. Xiangwang immediately saluted him, “My daughter greets General Longchamp!” Xiangwang laughed and waved his hands straight: “Fourth sister don’t tease me, I can’t afford it, I will always be the little Rong brother of the British Duke’s House.”

The family warmly gossiped, Xi mother came in and said that the banquet was ready, Rong Xiangxiang saw and pushed the fifth brother out: “General Xiao Rong’s favorite dish of hot and sour beef tendon, my daughter has already made it, please go and use it.” Since then, the name of General Xiao Rong has been called.

During the banquet, Rong Xiangwang could not help but talk about the various things he had seen and heard in Western Qin, which was heart-stopping, especially when it came to the part about capturing the Lord of Western Qin.

“We killed into the Western Qin palace, subdued the palace guards, and searched up and down all the palaces, but we couldn’t find the Western Qin Lord.”

“He escaped?”

“Yes! Elder General Qi had his men guard all the gates of the royal palace early on to prevent scampering. Who knew that there was a secret passage in the palace that led straight to the outside of the capital, by the time we realized it, the vegetables were all cold, and Old General Qi almost didn’t get his breath back!”

“Then how did we finally catch it?”

“His Highness Yul Wang has a way. He’s been in the West Qin army for so many years, he’s not just a small general. After the Lord of West Qin fled, he was escorted by a group of elite soldiers. The leader is someone Yü Wang recognized when he first joined the army. King Yü went to see him, revealed his identity, reasoned with him, and moved him with emotion. He told him that the two countries have been at war for many years, and that the people of Western Qin are living in isolation and are often subjected to the hardship of the military and the labor force. But the Western Qin king is living a life of luxury, what is worthy of loyalty? Why don’t we just submit to the state dynasty, so that the state dynasty’s grain and fruits can be transported to West Qin, and West Qin’s medicinal herbs and wild game can be transported out, so that the people in the borderlands can live in peace from now on.”

“Then the chief agreed?”

“That leader was originally a bitter child who joined the army only after he was extremely poor, His Highness King Yü knew that he was dissatisfied with the Lord of Western Qin, and promised him the official position of a second-ranking general of the imperial court for conquering the west, allowing him to guard the local area, and that’s how he was persuaded to do so!”

“Ah? Promised him an official position?” Rong Xiangwang’s eyes widened as he listened, “Isn’t this selling out the master for honor?”

Rong Xiangwang laughed, “That also depends on what kind of lord, is it worth serving? The Lord of Western Qin, who enjoys the support of the entire country, should have sacrificed his life for his country when he saw that it was broken. Surprisingly left behind the queen and subjects, only with two sons ran away, this kind of person to our shoes are not worthy, also worthy of who for him to sell their lives not?”

“Ah …… too much!” Rong Xiang Wen had no position, immediately cross-eyed and angrily rebuked.

Duke of England then said, “When the second brother was based in Yangzhou, the old master couldn’t bear to have his son or daughter far away. Whose family do you think will be sent to West Qin to take over the military defense? Naturally, it is best to integrate and surrender on the spot! That’s what His Highness Yu Wang is looking at the long term, killing and casualties can be avoided.”

“Oh ……” Rong Xiang Wen think about it is not right, and asked: “I have only heard of King Qi, King Qing, King Li, King Yun, where to run out of a Yup King to?”

Rong Xiang Wen purses his lips and doesn’t say anything, but he can’t stop his big brother from pointing at her and saying, “Yes, where did a King Yup come from? Naturally, it’s my fourth sister’s husband who captured the Lord of Western Qin alive!”
