Chapter 4194 4196 [Big increase in rewards]
Cao Zhengchun was stunned by the emperor's scolding. Then he looked at Lixiu lying on the ground and suddenly understood, "This slave deserves death!"
"You deserve death!" At this moment, Cheng Shifei also rushed over with the empress dowager, "The empress dowager was robbed by Karasuma and Rixiu.
If I, Cheng Daxia, hadn't been so resourceful, brave, smart and decisive, and rescued the Queen Mother first, and then rushed to the rescue, you would have died several times. "
It turned out that he knew that Princess Lixiu wanted to assassinate the emperor, so he hurriedly brought the Queen Mother to rescue her.
"Queen Mother, you are back, are you okay?" The Emperor immediately knelt down to greet the Queen Mother when he saw her.
"Thanks to the help of this hero Cheng, otherwise the Ai family would have been in trouble this time." The Queen Mother pointed at Cheng Shifei and explained.
"Are you Yun Luo's senior brother Cheng Shifei?" The emperor looked at Cheng Shifei.
"Exactly, exactly." Cheng Shifei said stupidly, cupping his hands, not knowing anything about court etiquette.
"Anyway, thanks to Duan Aiqing this time, and this..." The emperor looked at Xiang Nan.
"The humble minister returns to the sea and pays homage to the emperor." Xiang Nan saluted.
"Guihai Aiqing arrived in time, otherwise I would have been killed by this monster." The emperor said again.
"Your Majesty, don't forget that there is also Cheng Daxia," the Queen Mother reminded.
"Yes, there is also Cheng Aiqing." The emperor nodded and said, "I will reward you heavily!"
"Your Majesty, it is thanks to His Majesty's great fortune that Cao Mincheng was lucky enough to meet Princess Yunluo, then meet the Queen Mother, and kill that **** Karasuma." Cheng Shifei said proudly, "Even if we didn't arrive, The emperor is a true dragon emperor, with great blessings, and will be protected by heaven. A thunderbolt will kill this monster. The true dragon emperor, blessed by all spirits!"
"Hahaha, that's good. When I go to court tomorrow, everyone will be rewarded." The emperor felt very comfortable with his messy flattery, and nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cheng Shifei also grinned.
…
The matter is over, Xiang Nan and Duan Tianya return to Hulong Villa.
When Zhu Wuwu learned that Fake Karasuma and Fake Lixiu were dead and that the plot to assassinate the emperor was ruined, he was stunned. Then he laughed loudly and said, "It seems that the Emperor is really the real Dragon Emperor. With the blessing of all spirits, he can actually turn disaster into good. When disaster strikes, it shows that God has blessed the Ming Dynasty.”
"Father, thank you for everything that happened this time. He was the one who got rid of Karasuma and rescued the Queen Mother in time." Duan Tianya added, "Otherwise, even if we killed Princess Lixiu, he would have made us turn against him with the Queen Mother in his hands."
"Well, this person is indeed a bit weird." Zhu Wuyi nodded, "That's all, let's not talk about him for now. You all should go back and rest. You have to go to the pilgrimage tomorrow."
"Yes, foster father." Xiang Nan, Duan Tianya, and Shangguan Haitang all said.
Back in his room, Xiang Nan cast a Muggle shielding spell and then took Princess Lixiu out of the storage room.
Seeing that his whole body was still stiff, it was because he had been "petrified" by Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan then used a trick to absorb all the fake internal energy and martial arts.
Fake Toshihide's strength is not much different from Karasuma's. He also has profound internal strength and is proficient in ninjutsu and swordsmanship. No wonder he was sent by General Tokugawa to assist Zhu Wuwu in carrying out the task of assassinating the emperor.
Even if they were weaker, they wouldn't be able to do it.
Xiang Nan originally wanted to absorb Lixiu's inner strength in the palace, but time was too urgent at that time, so he had to keep him in the storage room first.
Now that he had absorbed his inner strength and martial arts skills, Xiang Nan immediately cast a disappearing spell to disappear the fake beauty show into nothingness. As a result, no one can find him anymore.
"It's pitiful. A generation of masters is fully qualified to establish a sect and dominate a party, but unfortunately he has become a **** of politicians. He can't control his life or death, so why bother." Xiang Nan then sighed.
It may be difficult to be an emperor, a general, or a great name, but there is absolutely no problem in being a happy and happy rich man and the founder of a sect. It's a pity that they have all become pawns of politicians. They have gone through life and death for them, and their bodies and brains have been ruined, so that they are now dead. Why bother?
…
Turning around, Xiang Nan, Duan Tianya, and Shangguan Haitang entered the palace to meet the saint together with Tiedan Shenhou.
Cheng Shifei also waited outside the palace early in the morning, and then followed him into the palace to meet the saint.
"I see the Emperor and the Queen Mother." Everyone saluted, "May the Emperor live long, long live!"
Cheng Shifei had never been taught etiquette in the palace, so he could only imitate the gourd and pretend to be pretentious. Fortunately, the other person was smart and didn't make a mistake.
"Get flat." The emperor said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and said.
"Your Majesty has decreed that Duan Tianya and Guihai will be rewarded with thousands of taels of gold if they save the enemy with a sword." A chamberlain announced loudly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan and Duan Tianya both cupped their hands.
"Cheng Shifei rescued the Queen Mother and killed the Izumo assassin. He was awarded ten thousand taels of gold and a special reward for traveling in the inner palace." The chamberlain said loudly again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." When Cheng Shifei heard that there was so much money, he was overjoyed and quickly bowed and saluted.
"Uncle Emperor, in order to express my trust in your uncle and the people at Hulong Villa, I specially give Shang Fang a sword that can behead first and then play." The emperor said to Zhu Wuwu again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Wuyi bowed and said.
When Cao Zhengchun heard this, his expression changed.
Xiang Nan, Duan Tianya, and Cheng Shifei were rewarded with thousands of taels of gold, but he didn't care. A mere thirty thousand taels of gold was nothing but a pile of dung to him, worth nothing.
But Shang Fang's sword is different. It can kill first and then attack later. It is so powerful that even oneself is threatened by it.
It's just that the emperor's golden words are beyond his ability to oppose, so he can only hold back temporarily.
…
At this time, Princess Yunluo secretly pushed the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother glanced at her daughter with a smile, and then said, "Honor, did you hear that there are three spies of Tian, Di, and Xuan at Hulong Villa?"
"It is rumored that you have been struggling to find the fourth secret agent for many years." The Queen Mother continued, "In that case, why not take advantage of this opportunity and make Cheng Shaoxia a yellow-labeled secret agent?"
"Ah?!" Cheng Shifei was stunned.
Shenhou's face froze even more, "This..."
Cheng Shifei was not only Gu Santong's apprentice, but also ruined his plan to assassinate the emperor and the queen mother. He wished he could eat their flesh and sleep on their skin, so how could he recruit him into Hulong Villa as a spy, hanging around in front of him every day? .
What's more, there are many secrets in Hulong Villa. If he comes in, there is a possibility of leaking the secrets.
The **** was about to refuse, but he heard the emperor smile and say, "Mother, this is a very good idea. Uncle Emperor, I'll leave it up to you."
"Your Majesty, the Ouchi secret agents of Hulong Villa must go through strict selection before they can be hired. They cannot be taken care of casually." Shen Hou said quickly.
"Don't worry, Lord God. I have experienced Cheng Shaoxia's martial arts personally, and I guarantee that I will not disappoint the Lord." The Queen Mother smiled.
"Uncle Emperor, if you have any concerns, you can take an exam to test him first." The emperor also ordered.
"Wei Chen obeys the order." The **** bowed and said.
