Sickish Prince is Scheming - C318

Because he had captured the Grand Preceptor, Fang Zinan had no choice but to personally hand him over to King Dongyu, Dongfang Ming. The great army did not immediately return to the Southern Marsh, but instead headed towards Eastcalm City.

“Reporting to the emperor, the great general has already captured the Grand Preceptor alive. We ask the emperor to decide!” A eunuch hurriedly reported back.

When Dongfang Ming heard this, his expression couldn’t help but change, and he loudly said, “Quick, ask the great general to come meet us.”

Fang Zinan and the others entered Dongyu’s palace to pay their respects to Dongfang Ming.

“General, no need to be so polite!” Dongfang Ming hurried over and bowed towards Fang Zinan, “Great General, thank you for your troubles this time. I will immediately become your emperor, forever calling you an official. The people of my country will also greatly respect and respect your emperor.”

Fang Zinan smiled: “Emperor Dongyu is too polite. I originally wanted to come under the orders of the Emperor to help your country, but now that I have accomplished a great deed, I will return immediately.”

“You guys want to leave so soon?” Dongfang Ming was surprised. He thought that since Fang Zinan and the others had won the war, they would take a break in the Kingdom of Dongyu and return home. He didn’t expect that they would leave right after the battle.

Fang Zinan was concerned about Shang Yiqing’s safety, fearing that King Xuan would harm Shang Yiqing. Fortunately, the Grand Preceptor was eliminated and could return to the Southern Marsh Kingdom, but when Dongfang Ming asked about it, he couldn’t tell him the truth. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, “We’ve been in the Kingdom of Dongyu for a long time. The Grand Preceptor is dead now, so it’s time for us to return.”

Dong Fang Luo Li took the opportunity to walk up to his father and said: “Father, the great general just helped us win the battle, isn’t it too much to leave now? At the very least, we should stay in East Peace City for the night so that we can set up a feast.”

“Princess Liu Li is right. Great General has worked hard. We must invite Great General for a good banquet. Even if we have to send you off, Great General!” Some of the court officials chimed in.

Another person said, “For the sake of our Dongyu Country, the great general has travelled thousands of miles. Moreover, he has not taken the citizens by surprise and has protected our people well. The people are extremely grateful and have to thank the great general!”

Below, the court official chimed in, “That’s right! “General, please stay here for a few more days, please don’t leave. The commoners have to come personally to thank you!”

As he was speaking, he saw a young eunuch hurrying over. “Reporting to the emperor, the commoners are waiting outside the palace with gifts from their families to thank the great general. There are still many people who want to catch a glimpse of the great general’s grandeur!”

When Dongfang Ming heard this, he said to Zhennan, “Great General, don’t leave today. The people of my country welcome you so much, so why don’t you go meet them?”

“This …” Fang Zinan was determined to leave, but when he saw this situation, he knew that there was no point in speaking any further. Thus, he could only turn his gaze to Xiao Tian Yuan.

How could Xiao Tianyuan not know what Fang Zinan was thinking? However, with the current circumstances, he definitely could not return to the palace today. Fang Zinan gave him a meaningful glance and said to the officials: “Thank you for your kind intentions, our great general will be meeting with the commoners outside the palace now.” I wonder how everyone is going to deal with the matter of returning to court tomorrow? ”

“Alright!” The ministers shouted in unison.

Dongfang Ming and his daughter personally escorted Fang Zinan and the others outside the palace to receive the commoners. When they arrived outside the palace, they saw the commoners welcoming them with gifts in their hands. There were also many people setting off fireworks, and the entire Dongyu City was as happy as if it was a new year. Many commoners saw Fang Zinan coming over and personally paid their respects. Fang Zinan smiled and accepted the gifts one by one.

The crowd behind them shouted, “The great general is here!”

“The New Year’s general is so young and handsome, and he has such great skills as well, to actually chase the Grand Preceptor away!” He’s our savior! ” someone shouted.

There were also people who said happily, “Great General, this is a small token of our goodwill. Great General, please accept it.” As he spoke, he handed the gift to Fang Zinan. This scene made all of the commoners present impulsively, and they all sent their gifts forward.

Seeing the chaos, Dong Fang Luo Li hastily waved her hand to stop the crowd and asked: “Who sent these gifts?”

“Reporting to the princess, these were all sent by the commoners and nobles of the city. They were sent here as a sign that they will never forget the great general’s kindness.”

Dong Fang Luo Li smiled and looked at Fang Zi Nan: “General, it seems that you are more welcoming than my father.”

Fang Zinan could only smile. If he won the battle, he could return to the imperial court to report back to the emperor. However, since King Xuan wanted to rebel was a big problem, what would happen if he made a move against the emperor in advance? Also, Qing’er knew so many secrets, so King Xuan definitely wouldn’t let her pass by easily. Thinking of this, Fang Zinan felt very depressed and terrified. He could only hate himself for not being able to return to the Southern Marsh.

Seeing that, Xiao Tian Yuan stepped forward and said softly, “Great General, the people of Dongyu Country are welcoming you so much now. If you leave now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to do it. I believe that the Qi King must have a way to help the imperial concubine. ” It had already been two days since Dongfang Hao delivered the letter, so he believed that with Dongfang Hao’s speed, he would be able to rush back to the Southern Marsh Country in three days.

When Fang Zinan heard this, he remained silent. After a while, he raised his head and said, “I believe the Qi King has already arrived at the Southern Marsh Kingdom. With his intellect, the princess should be safe for now.” Actually, what he said was just to comfort himself. Who would know about the situation in the Southern Marsh Country?

At this time, many commoners rushed forward to offer gifts, so Fang Zinan had no choice but to hide his worries and force himself to join the commoners.

Dongfang Ming smiled and said, “Great General, since the commoners welcome you so much, why don’t you stay for a few more days? Anyways, the great army has already won, so it won’t be too late to return to the imperial court in two days.”

“Thank you for your kind intentions, King Dongyu. It’s a pity that Fang Zinan has been away for too long. I can’t wait to return with victory in my hands.” Fang Zinan had no other choice, so he could only say this. He also didn’t know what was going on with the Southern Marsh Country, so he couldn’t be at ease.

When Dongfang Hao returned, Dongfang Luo Li didn’t even see him. She wasn’t clear about what was going on, and upon hearing his royal father’s words, she tried her best to persuade him to stay: “General, you should stay for a few more days. Now that you have won the war, we are all very happy and the citizens of the entire country are celebrating as much as they can.

Fang Zinan helplessly looked at Xiao Tianyuan. Only Xiao Tianyuan knew what he was thinking. Xiao Tian Yuan rushed out to help. “King Dongyu, Princess Liu Li, you know that this is the first time my family’s great general has gone out to war. It’s hard to avoid being reluctant to part with his wife.

Dongfang Ming is an experienced man, how could he not know the meaning behind Xiao Tianyi’s words? He could not help but chuckle, “Since General Xiao has put it this way, then it would be inconvenient for this duke to stay any longer. Tonight, this king will treat everyone to a banquet, and tomorrow morning, this king will send everyone out of the city.

Only then did Fang Zinan smile. “Since King Dongyu is so understanding and righteous, I can’t thank you enough. I’ll drink with King Dongyu tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will lead my army back to the imperial court.”

“Alright!” Dongfang Ming nodded in agreement, “Great General, tonight, this duke will properly toast to you!”

“You’re disrespectful!”
