With the help of King Qi's personal soldiers, the guards of the Xia Kingdom's envoys, and the Yun Kingdom's border troops, all the men in black who fled in all directions were captured.

Nan Jiyun put away the stiff bow in his hand, and rode his horse under the awe and vigilance of others.

Before arriving at the Xia Kingdom camp, Nan Jiyun dismounted from his horse, raised the bronze tiger talisman in his hand, lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Nan Jiyun, the captain of Dayun Imperial Army and the imperial ennobled general of Longxiang, has met His Highness King Qi of Xia Kingdom!"

When King Qi heard Nan Jiyun announce his identity, he narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but look at Nan Jiyun.

Zhou Quan, the commander of the soldiers, came behind King Qi and reminded him softly:

"Your Majesty, you are a ninth-level master..."

When King Qi heard this, his eyes suddenly moved.

He is a rare ninth-level warrior in the world, and looking at him just now, he is also a master of archery! How did the Emperor of Yun Kingdom find so many talents in such a short period of time and make them willing to serve him?

of?

Moreover, why did General Long Xiang of the Yun Kingdom suddenly appear when the assassin came? By such a coincidence?

Nan Jiyun did not pay attention to King Qi's probing gaze at all. He raised his head and said immediately:

"Nan Jiyun was ordered by His Majesty to lead three thousand imperial troops to greet and protect Emperor Rouning's safety. May I ask His Highness King Qi, is Emperor Rouning okay now?"

When King Qi heard this, his heart skipped a beat, he coughed lightly and said:

"Well, Di Ji is well!"

Hearing this, Nan Jiyun nodded slightly, then looked solemn, looked at Yun Guobian Military Academy Lieutenant, and scolded:

"You are responsible for protecting the princess and ensuring the safety of the mission, so why are you so late?"

Hearing this, the captain of the Border Military Academy turned red, lowered his head and clasped his fists, apologizing:

"The general will be negligent and will be punished!"

Although the main reason is that King Qi deliberately arranged the Yunjun camp far away from this place for his own plan. However, there are also factors that led to his failure to come in time due to his own laziness and carelessness, so pleading guilty is not an injustice.

"I am not your general and cannot be punished by military law. For the time being, I will make a note of it. After I deliver my errand, I will return to the border army and be punished on my own!" Nan Jiyun said sternly.

The captain of the Bian Military Academy looked ashamed and lowered his head to accept the punishment.

At this time, Nan Jiyun's expression softened slightly, and he turned to Prince Qi and cupped his hands slightly, saying:

"The number of escorts in the mission is not large and it is difficult to protect the entire mission, so negligence is inevitable."

When King Qi thought about it now, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If it was because of himself that Yingyao suffered, he would really regret it!

Seeing King Qi's expression of regret, Nan Jiyun took advantage of the situation and said:

"The general is here to protect Emperor Rouning on your Majesty's orders. From now on, I, Nan Jiyun, will personally protect the Emperor and Princess Rou Ning. Please don't worry."

Ninth-level masters are rare in the world. Such people guard one side, and there are more than a hundred fine cavalry to guard them. Guarding like this, I am afraid that there are only a handful of people in the world who can threaten the safety of Emperor Rouning.

When King Danqi heard this, he immediately became alert and nodded:

"Okay, okay. With General Nan as your escort, everything will be safe..."

While speaking, King Qi glanced at Zhou Quan calmly.

As the commander of King Qi's bodyguard, he is the person whom King Qi trusts the most. He is fully aware of King Qi's secret plans.

Upon seeing King Qi's expression, Zhou Quan immediately reacted, lowered his head, and quietly left under the cover of the crowd.

Although Nan Jiyun had not noticed Zhou Quan's departure, looking at King Qi's expression and the extremely unreasonable camp defense he had just noticed, a trace of suspicion suddenly arose in his heart.

How can there be an important person’s tent located on the outermost side of the camp? Isn’t it waiting for someone to take action?

Nan Jiyun glanced at everyone present, his mind changed, and he immediately said:

"His Royal Highness King Qi has given you too much praise... The general has the emperor's mandate and wants to see the Emperor Ji. I would also like to ask His Highness King Qi to send someone to lead the way."

When King Qi heard this, his thoughts changed rapidly and he quickly said:

"General, you have worked hard all the way. Let's take a rest today!"

When Nan Jiyun heard King Qi's words, he shook his head firmly and said:

"It is your responsibility, please send someone to lead the way."

"It's getting late now, and the imperial sister may have rested long ago. The general insists on meeting me at this time, I'm afraid it's unreasonable..." At this time, King Qi was still trying his best to delay the time.

The more King Qi's attitude became like this, the more determined Nan Jiyun became, and he immediately said:

"With such a movement, the Emperor must have been frightened. The general asked to see her, and then personally led the troops to guard her. This was to reassure the Emperor. If the Emperor had already gone to bed, the general would have just saluted outside the tent!"

Nan Jiyun said so, King Qi didn't know what to say.

But if the previous preparations are not completely taken care of at this time, and this Nan Jiyun sees the flaws, there will definitely be trouble in the future!

Just when King Qi was hesitating, a crisp voice suddenly sounded:

"The princess heard that General Yun came to escort her and wanted to summon him!"

Everyone present turned their heads and saw a Qingli palace maid, panting and running towards them, bowing solemnly to everyone. Then they looked at Nan Jiyun, nodded and said:

"This must be General Yun who came to escort you. The princess has summoned you!"

The first time he saw Palace Maid Qingli, King Qi breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Nan Jiyun, smiled, and said:

"Hehehe, it seems that the imperial sister has not gone to bed. General Nan, please!"

Nan Jiyun frowned slightly, then nodded and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Palace Maid Qingli led everyone directly to Emperor Rouning's tent.

Nan Jiyun walked a few steps into the tent, but suddenly paused and did not move forward.

After pondering for a moment, Nan Jiyun knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice:

"The last general, Nan Jiyun, pays homage to Emperor Rouning!"

After a while, a gentle voice sounded in the camp, saying:

"General Nan, you have worked hard all the way. I am not frightened at all!"

Hearing this, Nan Jiyun said in a deep voice:

"If this is the case, the general can rest assured! Emperor Ji, please rest assured, the general will be guarding here to prevent the emperor from being put in danger again!"

"General Nan has been coming day and night to escort you, it must be hard work. Let's start the escort work tomorrow!" The gentle voice was unhurried and gentle.

Nan Jiyun and more than a hundred cavalrymen under him did indeed attack continuously for several days without stopping for a moment. After arriving here, there was another fight. If they continued to support the guards, they would probably suffer 30% damage after one night.

Nan Jiyun pondered for a moment, but without refusing, he immediately held up his hands and said:

"Xie Diji!"

Upon hearing this, King Qi quickly signaled to others to wait for the Yun Kingdom forbidden troops to go down to rest, while he was busy rearranging the camp, arranging the guards, and the placement of the men in black who had just been captured.

I have to say that what just happened really scared him! At this time, King Qi had nearly half of his guards, all arranged to come to Emperor Rou Ning.

------------------

Yunguo Imperial Palace, in the Xuanzheng Hall.

Xiao Cheng held his chin in boredom, watching the officials in the court arguing with each other, distracted.

All the officials in the palace were having a heated discussion at this time.

"After His Majesty ascended the throne, he went on a personal expedition, defeated two countries in a row, and was about to restore the country's power. He chose 'Shenwu' as the new year's name, which is exactly what he meant!"

"No, no, how can His Majesty's achievements be higher than the military? The establishment of the imperial examination and the establishment of Jixia Academy are all unprecedented initiatives, so we can use 'Jianyuan' as the reign name!"

"None of them work. The 'Shenwu' era name was once used by our Emperor Chengzong of the Yun Kingdom. As for 'Jianyuan', the Emperor Mingzong of the Xia Kingdom also used it. Neither of these two era names can be used!"

At this time, Wen Tiren looked quite excited and argued loudly with the officials beside him:

"Although His Majesty is young and has only been on the throne for a short period of time, the ancient saint kings cannot compare with his sacred writings and martial arts. In my opinion, the two-character reign name cannot represent His Majesty! A four-character reign name is needed to match it.

Your Majesty's identity. I think that the title of the reign can be 'Heaven's Holy King' or 'Tianyi Zhiping' to show His Majesty's sage."

Listening to this disgusting flattery, Xiao Cheng had goosebumps all over his body and hurriedly said:

"It's just the year number!"

It's not a final temple name. Xiao Cheng doesn't understand. What's there to argue about? Just pick something catchy. Today's meeting was wasted on this matter!

Speaking of which, this year was supposed to be the first year that Xiao Cheng changed his name to the new year after he ascended the throne.

But speaking of it, when Xiao Cheng ascended the throne, the former grand master Wang Xiao was still in power. At that time, there was a war with the Li Dynasty, and he really didn't have the energy to change Xiao Cheng's new title.

After Xiao Cheng officially came to power, the border troops refused to listen to orders, the two countries attacked the Yun Kingdom, the Buddhists rebelled, and several court purges were involved. There were so many things involved that it was impossible to care about the year name.

But now, the court has gradually stabilized, and it is the end of the year, and it is no longer possible to use the reign title of the late emperor. This is why today's dispute in the court arises.

Xiao Cheng really didn't want everyone to argue over this thing anymore, so he said again:

"When will this dispute end? Ma Qing, you are the minister, you just choose the one that sounds good!"
