In the backyard of Wu'an Hou Mansion, Han Feng and the eldest princess talked secretly for a long time, and finally ended the topic.
The eldest princess suggested that the two of them, who had not played together for a long time, should play a song together with the piano and flute in the hall.
Although the two have not cooperated for a long time, they still have a tacit understanding as before, and the rhythm is perfect.
When the song ended, the eldest princess was intoxicated.
After a long time, she just looked at Han Feng.
"Master Marquis, your piano skills are getting better and better."
Han Feng smiled calmly and said, "The eldest princess also plays the flute to perfection."
The eldest princess added, "I heard that you and Hu Yanzhan have completed their three-year agreement."
Han Feng paused after hearing this, nodded and said, "It's a lucky draw. Nian Xue has come home with me."
As he spoke, he took out a letter in his hand.
"Your Highness, this is the letter Nian Xue asked me to give you."
The eldest princess quickly took it, opened the envelope, and read it on the spot.
There wasn't much on the letter, but there was a lot of information in the eldest princess's eyes.
Excited, emotional, gratified... In the end, the eldest princess stretched out her hand, wiped away the moisture from the corner of her eyes, shook the letter, and it flew into ashes in the wind.
"I'm really happy for Nian Xue!" the eldest princess said sincerely.
Not long after, Han Feng said goodbye to the eldest princess.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. It's time for me to take my leave."
The eldest princess nodded.
"Please, Lord Marquis."
Han Feng turned around and walked all the way to the hanging flower door of the backyard when a voice floated in his ears.
"Master Marquis, if you have any difficulties in the imperial capital, you can come to me and Qing He will do his best to help."
The voice paused, then lowered a bit.
"Also, I will not deny what I said when I saw the Marquis off."
When Han Feng heard this, his body froze.
When I turned back, there was no one in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, only the faint fragrance remained.
Han Feng remembered what the eldest princess had said when she saw him off when he was on his mission to Dayan.
She said that if she returns safely, she is willing to be her lover.
Does the eldest princess really want to fulfill her promise?
For a moment, Han Feng felt complicated and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the imperial city, feeling a little guilty.
…
Han Feng rushed back to Zhenguo Hou Mansion and continued practicing in the practice room of the manor.
The blood essence and blood given by Cang Ling at the beginning has been refined to 50%.
Now, the ruins of the Wushen Clan are about to be opened, and Han Feng must rush to condense the second magical power and form before then.
In this way, you can also prepare one more life-saving skill for yourself when entering the ruins of the Martial God Clan.
I practiced in the mansion all night and the next morning.
As expected, the Hou Mansion welcomed its first wave of guests.
Prince Zhu Hongyu led Shangguan Qingfeng, Feng Muyun, two ministers, plus many civil servants, forming an important team.
A group of people came to visit with generous greetings.
According to etiquette, Han Feng went out to greet him.
When the two parties met, the prince had an unprecedented friendly smile on his face.
"Master Marquis, because of state affairs, Hongyu didn't come out of the city to greet him yesterday. I hope that the Marquis will not be offended and come here to apologize today!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the prince made it clear that he was respectful and gentle.
Similarly, the accompanying Shangguan Qingfeng, the Minister of Personnel, Feng Muyun, the Minister of Rites, and many other high-ranking civil servants took the initiative to receive the gift.
"I've met the Marquis!"
Everyone is smiling and respectful.
People who don't know, think that everyone is here to pay homage to a certain old prime minister who has become an official. The country is in harmony.
Han Feng had expected all this, and with a smile on his face, he returned the courtesy one by one and invited everyone into the house.
In the inner hall of the Hou Mansion, Han Feng and the prince occupied the first place.
Downstairs, only two veterans, Shangguan Qingfeng and Feng Muyun, were sitting at the guest seats. Everyone else was drinking tea in the front hall.
Korean style watch
To the three of them, he pretended to be confused and said, "Your Highness, the two ministers, I don't know what is important today, and we need to discuss it in the back hall."
The prince looked at Han Feng and said with a smile on his face: "Master Marquis, I am here today mainly for two things.
First, of course, I would like to congratulate the Marquis first. In this decisive battle along the coast, the Marquis has made great achievements and is the well-deserved number one hero of the empire.
Now that the Marquis has been favored by his father, he will definitely have a bright future. While I wish to congratulate the Marquis, I also want to apologize to him.
At that time, I was young and impulsive, and I offended the Marquis a lot. I hope that the Marquis will be generous and don't take offense. "
After saying these words, the prince's face was calm, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil and it was difficult to let go.
As a prince, he is a dignified person.
Zhu Hongyu had never bowed his head to others except his father, emperor and mother, as well as a few other people.
However, at this moment, he was bowing his head to the young man in front of him and admitting his mistake.
That's right, admitting your mistake.
Once upon a time, Zhu Hongyu had always wanted to kill the person in front of him, and he had planned painstakingly to do so.
However, all his arrangements and plans were eventually resolved by the young man.
The opponent faced the difficulties all the way, his strength soared, and his growth rate far exceeded his expectations.
Now, Han Feng has achieved another unparalleled achievement and has become the Marquis of the Empire, the Deputy Commander of the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Territory, and is already a new noble in the Empire and one of the powerful men in the military department.
It was only at this moment that Zhu Hongyu was shocked to discover.
The ant that he could crush to death at will has now grown into a towering tree.
Not only did he not dare to shake the big tree easily, but the "branches" behind the other party were even more dense and dense as a forest, making him fearful.
In addition, now that his biggest rival, the second prince Zhu Hongxiao, has returned to the imperial capital, the prince feels a huge threat.
As a result, he had to change his thinking, turn enemies into friends, and draw Han Feng into his camp.
In this way, not only do I have a lot of help, but even the huge background behind the opponent can be used by myself.
This is extremely important to him.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to admit his mistake with the dignity of a prince.
However, in the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's apology, Han Feng just nodded indifferently.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is serious. I have long forgotten the past events, and there is no need for Your Highness to keep them in mind. Your Highness should tell you the second thing."
Seeing Han Feng expose the matter so lightly, the prince and the two ministers were a little surprised.
After a moment's hesitation, the prince said, "The Marquis must have already guessed my second matter.
This time my father went into seclusion and asked me to supervise the country and handle the government affairs together with my second and eighth brothers.
One of the most important tasks is to make reasonable arrangements for the five boundary-breaking orders that have not yet been distributed by the empire. "
After hearing this, Han Feng finally showed a hint of emotion.
The prince also smiled and said: "The Marquis has made a huge contribution to the empire this time. It stands to reason that one of the five boundary-breaking orders must be from the Marquis, but now I have encountered a problem."
"Oh...what's the problem?" Han Feng asked.
The prince said: "As for the distribution of the boundary-breaking order, the eighth brother is young and naturally has no objection, but my second brother, King Xuanyou, has his own ideas.
My second brother and I discussed it for many days, but we couldn't reach an agreement, so we had to make an agreement in the end.
Three days later, a competition was held in a secret realm in the empire on the western outskirts of Qiancheng to determine the fate of these five boundary-breaking orders. "
"I see."
Han Feng nodded, but didn't say a word.
The prince waited for a long time, and when Han Feng was silent, he could only say: "Master Hou, to be honest, I am here to ask Master Hou for help this time.
My second brother and I agreed that we would each invite a few sun-level experts who are qualified to take over the World Breaking Order, and compete for the World Breaking Order based on their strength in the secret realm.
I want to invite the Marquis to join the East Palace camp and fight for me.
However, the Marquis must have a share of the boundary-breaking order obtained. "
Hearing this, Han Feng already understood the prince's intention.
This clearly shows that it is a game between the crown prince and the second prince.
The World Breaking Order is so important. It is something that is extremely valued by Sun-level powerful people and even Hongwu-level powerful people.
Although there are only five, whether it is the crown prince or the second prince, if they can control more boundary-breaking orders, it will not only show their respective strengths.
It is also a huge encouragement to the strong men in their respective forces.
If the strong men under his command can rely on the Boundary Breaking Order to encounter the ruins of the Martial God Clan and achieve a huge breakthrough, it will add more chips to their own camp.
Therefore, the crown prince and the second prince both wanted to get more boundary-breaking orders, or even monopolize them.
Han Feng looked at Shangguan Qingfeng and Feng Muyun and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has many strong men, and there are also Shangguan and Feng families. The two major families are backing them. There is no need for Xiaguan to take action."
At this time, Shangguan Qingfeng finally said: "What the Marquis doesn't know is that this time the Crown Prince and King Xuanyou have agreed that both parties will choose strong people to take action, but they must not be strong people who have been assigned to the Boundary Breaking Order.
My two ancestors, the Shangguan family and the Feng family, are both late-stage masters of the True Yang realm, but they have already received a boundary-breaking order and cannot take action.
On the side of King Xuanyou, his master Yuan Tiannu is the number one guest minister in our Qianlan Empire. He is in charge of the largest guest minister organization in the empire. With the support from the Yuchi family, his strength is extraordinary.
I'm afraid we won't be able to fight, so we've come to ask the Marquis to help His Highness. "
Hearing this, Han Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a powerful force behind the second prince.
Seeing that Han Feng still did not express his position, the prince said anxiously: "Master Hou, if we can get help in this matter, from now on, Master Hou and I will be in the same boat.
If he, the Japanese palace, inherits the throne, how can he lose the benefits of the Marquis?
Not to mention being granted the title of marquis or prime minister, he will be the king who will be in charge of one side. What's wrong with making the Han family one of the major aristocratic families in the empire? "
The prince finally threw out his chips.
However, Han Feng just smiled faintly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will allow Han to consider this matter again. Your Highness and the two adults can be invited back first."
As soon as these words came out, the prince's expression finally changed.
He came to the Marquis Mansion today, treated the virtuous corporal with courtesy, and even admitted his mistake to his ministers with the dignity of a prince.
I thought Han Feng would be flattered and directly agree to his request.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so ignorant that he would dismiss me with just a few words.
Before the prince could speak, Shangguan Qingfeng frowned and said, "Master Hou, in my opinion, it would be better for Master Hou to decide this matter immediately.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sincerely invites the Marquis to join, how can the Marquis be so dismissive and perfunctory? "
Feng Muyun on the side also said: "Yes, Mr. Marquis, in my opinion, the Marquis must not only agree to this matter immediately, but also sign a blood oath and swear allegiance to His Highness the Crown Prince.
In this way, His Highness's regard for the Marquis and his kindness to meet him are not in vain. "
The prince sat upright and said nothing, but his eyes darkened slightly, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, which was quite intimidating.
Faced with the intimidation of the prince and the words of the two elders of the dynasty.
Han Feng, who was originally smiling, did not change his expression. He glanced at Shangguan Qingfeng and Feng Muyun, but he sneered.
"Haha... Lord Shangguan, Lord Feng, are you threatening me?"
The two were stunned when they heard this.
The next moment, Han Feng's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Whatever decision I make, it's not your turn to intervene. Do you want to teach me how to do things?"
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying power spread from Han Feng's body and enveloped the entire back hall of the Hou Mansion.
The majesty of a strong man in the Yangshen Realm, along with the wrath of heaven and earth, caused Shangguan Qingfeng and Feng Muyun, who only had moon-level cultivations, to change their faces drastically, send chills down their spines, and tremble involuntarily.
At this moment, the two of them looked at the young man sitting high in the hall again, and suddenly woke up.
Although the Marquis in front of him is young, he is a strong man who has fought and killed all the way and emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Now, in terms of status, Han Feng is only higher than them.
In terms of strength, the latter is already a Japanese-level expert.
And although they are high-ranking officials in the DPRK, they are only family spokespersons and are no longer qualified to dictate to Han Feng.
"presumptuous!"
At this moment, the prince finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to protest.
"Marquis Zhenguo, don't think that you have some merits and then you can be rude to me and the ministers of the court!"
Han Feng calmly picked up the tea cup next to him, took a sip, looked at the prince and said, "Has your sincerity been used up now?"
"Han Feng, you are brave!"
The prince was furious, feeling that he had been humiliated, and glanced somewhere in the void.
The next moment, the powerful aura that had been hiding in the darkness and protecting the prince's safety came to his senses.
From the void, a majestic force came down, trying to give this arrogant Zhen Guohou a warning.
However, Han Feng, who was sitting in the main position, glanced across the sky, and a vast divine aura swept towards the nine heavens.
"boom……!"
Along with the roar of thunder, a muffled groan came from the void, and the powerful aura receded like a tide.
Throughout the hall, the strong wind roared, and the powerful pressure made Shangguan Qingfeng, Feng Muyun and the prince feel trembling and stiff.
Han Feng looked at the prince standing aside in an understatement and said, "Prince, please sit down!"
His Royal Highness was in a daze, and after hearing the words, he subconsciously obeyed and sat down.
Then, Han Feng spoke again.
"I will give this matter more consideration. Your Highness and the two adults, please come back!"
After that, he picked up the tea cup again and served tea to the guests.
The prince woke up with a start, his face flushed, and he became angry with embarrassment.
However, at this moment, he did not dare to reprimand Han Feng anymore and could only snort coldly.
"Hmph, let's go!"
