Chapter 139, Xiang An is Xiang An
Xiaopang was extremely sad after being beaten, and all his grievances turned into appetite. After a while, he actually swept away all the fish, sheep and other food. In the end, he didn't even eat the half plate of peanuts that Qingshi drank. Let it go.
Qingshi shook his head helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, are you full now? Let's go home!"
The little fat boy had a reluctant look on his face, his belly was bulging, his tail was wrapped around the legs of the table and he was leaning under the table, humming and not wanting to leave.
Qingshi was about to yell and scold when he suddenly saw a waiter outside the door walking in with a huge food tray and placing it on the table. On the tray was a whole roast lamb.
Qingshi secretly thought that it was Shen Binghong who called for him, but he saw the guys coming in one after another, and brought twenty roast lambs, which were stacked in layers almost reaching the ceiling. Qingshi was full of doubts, but the little fat guy was jumping up and down. Extremely excited.
Seeing that the roast lamb was finally no longer served, another waiter came in with two jugs of old wine. Qingshi shouted: "Wait a minute, what's going on? Who asked you to bring it?"
"It's me! Haha..." Following the laughter, a young man wearing the uniform of an Ouchi guard walked in with a smile. It was Xiang An.
Qingshi saw that his clothes were basically the same as those of the previous dynasty, except that two black edges were added to the official uniform. In addition, the golden dragon embroidered on the chest was gone, and there were still two feathers on his helmet.
Qingshi smiled and said: "It turns out to be Brother Xiang! Are you going to make me poor?"
"It doesn't cost a few spirit stones!" Xiang An said with a smile, "I have already paid for everything you ordered earlier. I really like this little guy when I see it. This is a gift for him. If he can't eat it, pack it up and take it home. eat slowly!"
The little fat man nodded his head politely like a chicken pecking at rice. He swiped his tail wildly and collected all the roasted sheep. After collecting them, he looked around and found that there was nothing to eat. He couldn't help but be startled and turned around twice. After making a circle, he seemed to understand. With a flick of his tail, he took out a fat sheep, jumped at it, hugged it and started to chew it.
Xiang An couldn't help but feel curious when he saw that the fat little guy had collected all the food with a flick of his tail. Qingshi was afraid that he would see the problem, so he smiled and said, "This little guy has a storage device on his tail."
When Xiang An heard what Qingshi said, he suddenly understood. But his understanding was that Qingshi put something like a storage ring on Xiaopang's tail. He never expected that the storage device Qingshi mentioned was that Xiaopang was born with it on his tail.
Xiang An threw a pot of wine to Qingshi and took a sip from the pot himself. Said: "Brother Qingshi, I am still responsible for the liaison with Tianlong Academy. Today I have made a special trip to you to convey the emperor's instructions. The emperor announced that you will enter the palace tomorrow morning to attend the court meeting."
"Huh?" Qingshi was still a little uncomfortable with his master becoming the emperor and his senior brother becoming the prime minister. He asked curiously, "Master wants me to attend the court meeting? I don't have an official position. Besides, I can just use a communication device to send a message. Why bother to send a message to the court?" Brother, why don't you take a trip?"
"Hehe!" Xiang An said with a smile, "The emperor has many things to do. If you have something to do, just give him an order. There is no need to manipulate the communication device. I am originally running errands for the emperor. This is my job, why is it hard?"
"Okay," Qingshi said, "My master...is there any reason why the emperor invited me to the palace?"
"Of course there is!" Xiang An said with a smile, "There is no need to keep this secret. Tomorrow's meeting will mainly be about commending and awarding the third batch of meritorious personnel who supported the new dynasty. The merits of the Qingshi brothers can be said to be great, so the emperor will naturally want to A big reward.”
The first batch and the second batch of meritorious personnel have long been completed. The first batch is mainly the main leaders such as Mo Sihai, Xiang Sinian, Shen Beichen, etc. The second batch is Sen Jing, Xia Yiming, Dai Yanru and other military commanders and direct participants. The third batch should be aimed at meritorious personnel like Qingshi who indirectly participated in the conspiracy.
Qingshi was not interested in describing meritorious service and awarding awards. Seeing Xiang An's excited face, he couldn't help teasing: "Brother Xiang must have done some meritorious deeds anyway! I wonder if he will be rewarded?"
"Yes, yes," Xiang An said with a smile, "Your Majesty Guang'en, I do have some minor merits. I have already agreed to be promoted to the first-class bodyguard and given the title of first-class title. However, compared with Brother Qingshi, it is far behind."
Qingshi originally just said it, but he didn't expect that Xiang An would actually be promoted to a higher position. He couldn't help but be a little surprised, because he said: "I really don't know that brother Xiang's hard work is so great. If so, how can he be 'far worse' than me?"
"That's it," Xiang An said, "Brother, my surname is not the Annan Xiang family, but the Chaoge Xiang family. The ancestor of Prince Gong Sinian is my great-grandfather. I am not a direct descendant. I have been raised in the Xiang family of Annan since I was a child. After I graduated from the academy, I entered the palace as a warrior of Annan Kingdom. I have also practiced the method of Chao Ge Xiang's formation since I was a child. This time, I assisted the emperor and my great-grandfather to sneak into the palace. I was also an internal agent, so I had some Small credit.”
"That's it!" Qingshi sighed with emotion, "So Brother Xiang...Brother Xiang is the queen of a famous family? I'm disrespectful. Your contribution is not small. Respecting my great-grandfather is even more of a great achievement. Being awarded the title of King and the Three Prime Ministers Taiwan, what a joy to congratulate!”
"No, no!" Xiang An said modestly, "I don't dare to comment on my great-grandfather's merits, but I dare not say 'not small' for my meager contribution. It is far, far behind Brother Qingshi."
"Brother Xiang is not too humble, is he?" Qingshi asked curiously, "I just defeated Jiang Chenliang in the martial arts competition between the two continents. My senior brother Mo said that winning can suppress the morale of the Jiang family, and losing will not matter. It affects the overall situation, I win, even if I have merit, it can’t be compared with Brother Xiang?”
"It's not that I'm being modest!" Xiang An said sternly, "Brother Qingshi, you are too modest. I know your performance record. You defeated Jiang Chenliang and boosted our morale. You used thunder martial arts to attract Jiang Bingming's covetousness, thus dragging down Jiang Chenliang's performance. The entire Tiger Guard camp fell into chaos, which made the credit even greater. Later, the Prime Minister revealed that the Jiang family's chief internal officer Jiang Pingxian and ten first- and second-class bodyguard masters were stationed in the Tianlong Academy. The Cloud-level battleship Qiyun all fell because of the Qingshi Brothers, and there are probably not many people who can match this great contribution!"
"Oh!" Qingshi nodded slightly, but he had forgotten about this. As long as others didn't mention what happened that night, he would never be able to remember it.
"I'm an internal guard," Xiang An continued, "It's fine if others don't know about Brother Qingshi's contribution, but I know it very well. If Jiang Bingxian was here, it would be difficult to help the emperor and great-grandfather sneak into the palace. .”
In fact, Qingshi's biggest contribution was to make Ge Wu injured and dormant that night, although it was not his fault. It's just that no one knows.
Xiang An took out a black iron sign and handed it to Qingshi and said: "The emperor's oral instructions have been conveyed. This is your certificate for entering the palace in the future. With this sign, you can see him at any time. It is certain that the Qingshi brothers will rise to great heights. Please come back in the future." Take good care of me!"
Qingshi took the sign, said a few polite words and came out with Xiang An. Xiaopang jumped on Qingshi's shoulder, Qingshi bowed his hand to Xiang An, said thank you and left.
