Chapter Five Hundred and Sixteenth Kingdom Banquet
Just when Wang Hu, the leader of the Tiger and Wolf Gang, was very worried, he went to the team to participate in the assessment of the disciples of the Shanhai Sect. Under the leadership of Feng Yuandao, he returned to the Northern Jin Kingdom after a month's itinerary.
Originally, their return speed was not so slow. But Feng Yuandao decided to take everyone along the way while rehabilitating their injuries and gaining knowledge. Every time they pass by, they will have to stay together for two days, so they will come back late.
Jin Ling was admitted to Shanhaizong, but it turned out that it was only circulated among the upper classes of the Northern Jin Kingdom. This time they came back, news spread throughout the kingdom. Moreover, Feng Yuandao's daughter Feng Yuelan was also regarded by the elders of Shanhaizong to leave behind, which also attracted the attention of all parties.
In the small Northern Jin Kingdom, two disciples of Shanhai Sect suddenly appeared!
After Yang Pu returned to Lingshan Fairyland, his position changed again and became the deputy town leader of the fairyland. This was highly recommended by Feng Yuandao, because his performance in this long trip and assessment was good. He was originally calm and calm and thoughtful. More importantly, the power of Jinyuan, Lingshan Fairyland, developed rapidly, especially when the Xianjia Tower and Huayuhui came, it caused a great shock to the fairyland.
The official urgently needs someone who can have friendship with Jinyuan to lead Lingshan to control this rapidly growing giant beast. It is not enough to rely on Wang Chong alone.
As soon as Feng Yuandao and others returned to the Northern Jin Kingdom, they were summoned by the king of the king Shang Zhen to enter the palace and held a banquet in the douyan hall in the palace. Important personnel, including several princes, princes, national gurus, four great lords of the kingdom and important ministers, were all present.
Even Shang Zhen sent a guard from the Jue Mansion to invite Qing Han.
The Douyan Hall is brightly lit, and all kinds of fine wine and delicacies are presented to the banquet like flowing water. Under the intense performance of the royal musician, the beautiful dancer's dance posture is graceful.
"Prime Minister Feng Tong, you have been working hard for more than two months." When the drums and music were taking a break, Shang Zhen raised his glass of wine to Feng Yuandao, "Lord King, I wish you a glass with the young heroes who are heading for this trip."
The king toasted, Feng Yuandao and thirty young people who participated in the assessment stood up with their glasses.
Both sides drank the wine in their glasses in one go.
Shang Zhen sighed and said, "Jin Ling is indeed an alien in my Northern Jin Kingdom. His true identity is the prince of the previous dynasty and was originally not tolerated by my Shang family. But he has a life-saving grace to the Lone King. Judging from his previous and subsequent actions, there is no evil deed. Therefore, the kingdom gave him a title, a fief, and an official position. He asked him to serve the king well, and recommended him to participate in this Shanhai Sect assessment."
"He really lived up to his expectations and achieved success in one fell swoop. Of course, Yuelan, the daughter of Punisher Feng Tong, is also good. She was able to get the green eyes of the elder of Shanhai Sect and stayed in the sect. These are all very good, very good."
As he said, he poured himself a glass of wine and signaled to everyone. Everyone raised their glasses again.
"Everyone knows that our Northern Jin Dynasty is a small country, with a land of only one city and a population of only four million. There are Guzhu, a great country in the east and north, and Baiyue, Shangui, and Loufang Sanman to the west and south. Over the years, after experiencing wars of changing dynasties and continuing to use troops against the Three Barbarians, our national strength has been greatly weakened. It is only through the natural dangers and abundant production of Lingshan, as well as the enthronement of the Yongye Empire, that can be maintained."
"But overall, we are still a small country and a weak country." Shang Zhen did not hide it, "Our army has only four guards and 50,000 people. Our immortals, the entire kingdom, may only have three or four thousand people. Moreover, most of these immortals are the lowest level primary, intermediate level immortals, and fairy master level. As for the Immortal Level, so far, there are only four people."
"Do you still remember that a branch of the Blood Hidden clan occupied Lingshan, killed people and set fire, and robbed Lingshan fairyland. The entire kingdom was helpless. The poison in my body had to spend a lot of money to save each other in a low voice. Among some larger sects, not only the Immortal Venerable level, but also the more powerful Immortal Sect level and Immortal General level are emerging one after another. For them, as long as the situation allows, killing a small country like us is no different from killing an ant."
"My name is the king of the country and has supreme power in the kingdom. In fact, for some immortal cultivation sects, this power is not worth mentioning at all. Why do I gather all the young geniuses from all over the country to participate in the assessment of outer disciples of Shanhai Sect? It is to cultivate the power of immortals in my country. Even if I cannot be admitted, this experience and insight are valuable."
"Fortunately, someone has helped the kingdom this time. Jin Ling and Feng Yuelan stayed in Shanhai Sect one after another. This has been a grand occasion that has not been seen in many years. The Lone King is very happy, very happy! Even if Jin Ling is not a child of my Shang family, he is a member of the Northern Jin Kingdom after all! I am not worried that he will be unfavorable to my Shang family after he has finished his studies. If he really wants to be unfavorable to me, why should he save me at the beginning? Wouldn't it be enough to let me die directly from the poison of the poison?"
"So, for this second glass of wine, I wish Jin Ling, Qinghan and Jinyuan! Everyone has done it!" As he said that, Shang Zhen drank the wine in the glass in one sip.
All the people present, including Qinghan, also drank the wine. The wine smelled very spicy, and Qinghan couldn't help but cough in a low voice. While coughing, he quietly went to watch the faces of the people watching the seat.
The most unhappy thing about Jin Ling's achievements was of course the second prince Shang Yu. His face turned pale, and he just pretended to take a sip of wine in the cup, and the others fell to the ground secretly while the others were unprepared. The face of the Southern King Shang Tuo was almost the same, after all, he and Shang Yu were wearing the same pair of pants.
Most of their civil and military ministers also had bad faces and forced smiles.
The great prince Shang Jiong, the eleventh prince Shang Ran and the civil and military ministers of the great prince were full of energy. Jin Ling was recognized as the great prince's group. His success was equivalent to the great prince's group's success, and also equivalent to slapping the second prince's group's group in the face.
Many ministers in the court have already begun to wonder in their hearts whether they should join the prince's command. After all, the position of crown prince has not yet been decided, and choosing the wrong person will be very fatal to their political career.
After three rounds of wine, Shang Zhen stopped hosting and everyone started drinking with their own worries.
"Jin Ling has such achievements, the Lone King is very happy." Shang Zhen took advantage of everyone's joy to drink and came to Qinghan and smiled at her, "Little girl, I know you and that kid are not brothers and sisters. The Jin surname was changed later, but it doesn't matter. I like you, the elf little girl, very much. I want to take you as my adopted daughter and be named the 19th princess of the Kingdom. What do you think?"
His words were completely beyond the expectations of everyone in the field, and he suddenly became quiet during the table.
Qing Han was stunned and then realized it. He held a glass of wine and bowed to Shang Zhen: "I am so lucky, my daughter, thank you father!"
Shang Zhen laughed and took the wine and drank, "From then on, you will be my adopted daughter, the 19th Princess of the Kingdom. The Ministry of Rites will go to take charge of the identity and title later!" He took Qing Han's hand and said to everyone present, "Look, this is my adopted daughter, the 19th Princess of the Kingdom!"
"See the Nineteenth Princess!" The ministers and servants present bowed together.
"Okay! OK!" Shang Zhen was very happy. "There is another thing you have vaguely heard of. Jiong'er and I both intend to betroth Shang Ran to Jin Ling. That's right, that's the case! He and Qinghan are not brothers and sisters, so it's not a problem. It turned out that Jiong'er had this meaning. After he cured the poison for me, I also had this meaning. This person has great potential and is a talent! So, I decided that four years later, when he returned to Northern Jin from Shanhai Sect, it was him, when he married my eleventh princess of the Northern Jin Kingdom, Shang Ran!"
Wow! Everyone was so upset.
