King Ming and Li Zhang were already filled with gratitude.

If Li Zhang hadn't stopped him, with Qin Feng's temper, revenge and killing Chen Si would not be empty talk.

Although this Qin Feng is usually carefree and not serious, once he touches the bottom line, he will show his fangs and kill decisively.

after all……

The story of Qin Feng leading two hundred light cavalry and daring to go deep into the enemy's territory to rescue the guards of the Tianji Camp has long been known to the world.

Under the comfort of Prince Ming and Li Zhang, Qin Feng finally slowly loosened his teeth that were clenching.

"We can't clear up Li Lang's name, or even take revenge..."

"I am called Li Lang's brother in vain!"

Under the extremely moved gazes of King Ming and Li Zhang, Qin Feng took a deep breath, his tone was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes were extremely determined.

"For the time being, the most important thing is Li Lang's funeral."

"After this..."

Although Qin Feng did not say anything, both King Ming and Li Zhang knew in their hearts what Qin Feng would do.

King Ming and Li Zhang took a breath in unison, and the big stone that was weighing on their hearts seemed to have fallen a lot.

Regardless of the obstruction, Qin Feng put on mourning clothes, knelt quietly beside the coffin, and kept throwing paper money into the brazier.

"Brother, I will accompany you on this last journey."

Not long after, Ning Hu, who came after hearing the news, knocked open the courtyard door.

His face was extremely angry and sad, exactly the same as Qin Feng's reaction.

Seeing Qin Feng mourning Li Lang, Ning Hu's mood calmed down instantly.

After bowing in front of the spiritual throne, he took a white cloth and tied it on his forehead, then silently knelt down beside Qin Feng.

Not long after, Zhao Yulong and Xu Mo also came.

The funeral was conducted in an extremely low-key manner.

Qin Feng wanted to give Li Lang a grand burial more than once, but he was rejected by King Ming.

Li Lang was of royal blood and died for the country, so he had to be buried with a saint.

This tomb is temporarily docked in Beixi County.

News of Li Lang's death has been sent to Kyoto, and all he has to do next is wait for the coffin to be moved back to Beijing.

But……

Time passed day by day, but there was still no reply from Kyoto.

Although Li Lang was demoted to the county boy, he was still the "eldest son" by blood. According to the rules, he was buried on the fifth day and buried in the fifth month.

It has been five days since Li Lang passed away.

Since there are no bones and they are replaced by clothes, there is no need to consider the preservation of the body. According to tradition, it can be buried after five months.

But no matter what, the saint should hastily issue an edict and move the coffin back to Beijing.

The saint seemed to have forgotten this matter, or perhaps deliberately ignored it.

As the saying goes, the dead are the most important. No matter what grudges there are between the saint and the king, they should not harm the descendants.

Such behavior not only made King Ming heartbroken, but also completely angered Qin Feng.

Ten days later, the saint's edict was still not returned.

Qin Feng no longer waited and directly ordered Tianji Battalion to build a six-horse carriage.

There was a gilt coffin on it, escorted by all Tianji Camp guards and 800 soldiers from Beixi County.

Heading towards Kyoto in a mighty manner.

Due to the slow pace of the large group of people escorting the "Prince's Coffin", it took more than half a month to finally reach the boundaries of Kyoto.

In the imperial study room of the Forbidden Palace, Emperor Liang was reviewing and discussing various matters.

Zhang Xiuye ​​hurriedly came to report: "Sage Qi, the prince has returned to the capital."

Upon hearing the title "Crown Prince", Emperor Liang's face became obviously gloomy.

Zhang Xiuye ​​realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but panic, and he knelt down quickly.

"Li Lang, a man from Fuyun County, has returned to Beijing. Are you allowed to enter the city?"

Emperor Liang never looked away from the memorial. He was silent for a moment and sighed softly.

"Li Lang sacrificed his life for the country, how can I be so unkind?"

"Yes."

After Zhang Xiuye ​​left, Emperor Liang put down the memorial, stood up slowly, and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

His eyes became darker and darker.

Emperor Liang repeatedly ignored the obituary notices sent by Beixi County, and his intention was extremely obvious, that is, Li Lang was not allowed to return to the royal ancestral hall.

It is true that Li Lang sacrificed his life for the country, and it is also true that Prince Ming and his family made great contributions in this national war.

However, King Ming relied on his own prestige to help Qin Feng coordinate the three armies in the north, making Qin Feng a veritable "King of the North".

This point undoubtedly touched the bottom line of Emperor Liang.

Besides...

Prince Ming's family is the orthodox royal family. What should happen if Qin Feng "holds the emperor's hand to order the princes" in the future?

Emperor Liang wanted to depose Prince Ming’s family from their royal status!

Qin Feng ignored Emperor Liang's hints and even personally led a large group of troops to escort Li Lang back to the capital, clearly demonstrating to Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang could understand Qin Feng's mood.

But Emperor Liang also understood that the tacit understanding between himself and Qin Feng seemed to have ended here.

Next, the relationship between monarch and ministers will become purer.

"By my order, Li Lang is posthumously conferred the title of Viscount. The funeral will be held according to the standards of a Viscount. He is not allowed to move into the royal ancestral hall."

"Hold a celebration banquet for Qin Feng."

At the same time, news of Qin Feng's return to Beijing has spread.

People poured into the streets and gathered towards the city gate.

"Qin Qianhu is coming back? Is it true?"

"Haha, I didn't expect that the former playboy of the Qin family has now turned into a general protecting the country. It's really incredible."

"This means that Shi Fareen will treat you with admiration."

"It's strange. It is said that Qin Qianhu has made extraordinary achievements, and the ministers in the city should go out of the city to greet him. Why is it so deserted?"

"Is it possible that the saint should treat the hero lightly?"

"Who said we should wait too long? Didn't the saint already decree to hold a celebration banquet for Qin Qianhu? He probably wants to discuss the peace talks between the two countries, and he is too busy to do anything else."

"What do you guys know? Don't talk about state affairs!"

At this moment, a burst of heavy footsteps came from outside the city.

Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Feng, wearing black armor, rode a black war horse, slowly passed through the city gate and entered the bustling streets of Kyoto.

Behind him are Ning Hu and thirty-one Tianji Camp guards, followed by eight hundred soldiers.

Every ten people held a white flag high.

The people standing on both sides of the street, their faces flushed with excitement, whispered for a while.

"Look, it's Qin Feng!"

"Wow, why has he changed so much? I remember that when he left Beijing, he was still a young man, and when he came back he had become a strong man."

"There are also Ning Hu and the Tianji camp guards. Are these the tiger and wolf soldiers who have been baptized by the fire of war? What an angry faction!"

"Compared with the soldiers under Qin Feng's command, our garrison in Kyoto has become an embroidered pillow."

"This is true. Qin Feng led the Tianji Battalion guards to fight back and forth in Beidi. This record alone cannot be compared with that of the Kyoto garrison."

"Huh?!"

"Why doesn't Qin Feng dismount?!"

More and more people noticed something was wrong.

Qin Feng has passed through the city gate, but he has no intention of dismounting, even the soldiers behind him!

Is it possible that Qin Feng, relying on his talent and arrogance, no longer takes the saint in his eyes, and deliberately rides a horse to demonstrate?
