Final Volume, chapter 108
Regarding how the others thought of him, Tang Yin did not really care. If Xiao Xiang misunderstood his, then so be it, there was no need to explain too much to her. Tang Yin changed the topic and asked curiously: "When do you plan to meet the Son of Heaven?"
"Tomorrow." Xiao Xiang replied without thinking: "Since I'm already in Shang Jing, I think I should first pay a visit to Royal Brother."
Tang Yin smiled and said: "Why didn't you greet them in advance and instead sneaked over?"
Xiao Xiang said faintly: "The matter of me coming to the capital this time has not been made public, many of the ministers in the imperial court do not know of this matter, and I do not wish for them to know either, in case any problems arise."
Tang Yin nodded and continued to stare at Xiao Xiang for a while. He couldn't help but ask again: "Do you really plan to return the land to the Son of Heaven?"
"What else can I do now?" Xiao Xiang asked.
"?" Tang Yin remained silent. In fact, even in his eyes, he felt that Xiao Xiang's decision was correct.
Based on the current situation of the Chuan Country, taking the initiative to surrender was the best choice, and of course, this would require a lot of determination and pressure. It was not easy for a little girl like Xiao Xiang to make such a decision!
Seeing him fall silent, Xiao Xiang laughed, and said: "You don't have to worry about me, right now you should worry about yourself. After I meet the Son of Heaven and hand over the feudal fiefdom with the Chuan Country, the war between the Feng Country and Chuan Country will naturally end, but, the People of Zhen Country may not listen to your command, they will even directly take over Zhaoyang."
Hearing that, Tang Yin squinted his eyes. What Xiao Xiang said was right, People of Zhen Country was indeed a difficult problem.
People of Zhen Country's hatred towards People of Chuan Country was too deep, wherever they passed, not a single blade of grass grew, and once they touched People of Chuan Country, they would kill them all, burning and destroying them when they met town. And after annihilating all four hundred thousand Chuan Army, the Chastity Army's advance was no longer obstructed, and continued forward, showing the momentum to advance the Zhaoyang.
Tang Yin thought for a moment, then said: "Even if People of Zhen Country is a wild horse that is on the run, I still have a way to hold them back."
Xiao Xiang remained calm and said: "Then I hope that Royal Brother can be faster, he is now killing and robbing everywhere unscrupulously, from the start of the battle to now, it is unknown how many innocent people have died tragically at his hands, I think, the Son of Heaven will also not agree with what she has done in the River Land."
Tang Yin laughed indifferently, he did not say anymore on this matter, and changed the topic, saying: "Do you have a place to stay in Shang Jing?"
Xiao Xiang said ambiguously: "The people below seem to have rented an inn."
"In the end, an inn is still an inn. With so many people coming and going, it's not convenient, but it's also not safe. It's best for you to temporarily stay in my manor." Tang Yin said with a serious expression.
Xiao Xiang squinted her eyes at Tang Yin, and asked with a smile yet not a smile: "What? Royal Brother is afraid that if I run, you will put me under house arrest? "
Tang Yin curled his lips in disapproval and said: "Could it be that in Sister Wang's heart, I'm that despicable? "Don't forget, if I hadn't secretly helped you, you would have already died in the hands of an assassin."
When she mentioned this, Xiao Xiang suddenly thought about the mysterious black clothed man's attempt to save him. Furthermore, the man had said it very clearly, he was sent by Tang Yin. Xiao Xiang looked at Tang Yin in puzzlement and asked: "Why did the Royal Brother send people to help me in the dark?"
"Do you believe me if I say that I don't want anything to happen to you?" Tang Yin laughed and asked.
"Humph!" Xiao Xiang scoffed.
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and said: "Compared to your brothers and sisters, I am definitely more familiar with you. Rather than letting an unfathomable stranger sit at the position of King Chuan, it would be better to let someone who is familiar with me to sit. At least, it is easier for me to judge what she is thinking in her heart, and what she wants to do next."
Xiao Xiang was startled, then she nodded suddenly and muttered: "That's why people say you are cunning."
After Tang Yin heard this, he smiled but did not say anything.
Although Xiao Xiang spoke with a strong tone, she did not refuse Tang Yin's good intentions and really settled down peacefully in Tang Yin's Duke's Palace.
Tang Yin's Duke Palace had only been built not too long ago, it wasn't too luxurious or spacious. However, most of the furnishings inside the house were new, so Xiao Xiang could still be considered comfortable inside.
On the second day, Tang Yin secretly brought Xiao Xiang into the palace to meet him. After knowing that Xiao Xiang, the Sovereign King of Chuan Country, had suddenly come to see him in secret, Yin Zhun was shocked. He also heard that Xiao Xiang had come to return the Chuan Country back to him, causing Yin Zhun to be even more surprised. When he saw Xiao Xiang, then saw the Chuan Country jade seal and King Chuan's seal that Xiao Xiang had given him, Yin Zhun's eyes went wide open.
He had always been tyrannical, domineering, and had always had the heart to disobey, and had even once forced him out of Shang Jing with Chuan Country. Now, he had actually submitted to him, and not only that, he had to return it to him through the entire land of the river. King Chuan's seal had also been delivered, am I dreaming?
Yin Zhun looked at Xiao Xiang, then looked at Tang Yin who came along with him, and started to utter a strange, incoherent cry, to the point that he didn't know what to say anymore.
Tang Yin shook his head on the side. The mud on the ground can't support a wall and that was it, a mere surrender of the Chuan Country alone was enough to make you this excited, you have to know that you are the current Son of Heaven, and the Chuan Country is your own country to begin with.0
He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and reminded his Majesty in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please accept the Chuan Country's Imperial Jade Seal and King Chuan's Seal!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yin Zhun stood up and personally walked in front of Xiao Xiang. His hands trembled as he received the jade seal and seal, and then, he immediately supported Xiao Xiang who was kneeling on the ground and said, "King Chuan is a loyal subject, a great loyal subject. I will definitely reward you handsomely! "
Hearing that, Tang Yin could not help but roll his eyes, and turned his head to the side, not bothering to look at Yin Zhun anymore. At this time, Yin Zhun had finally recovered from the extreme shock, and his eyes started to wander back and forth on Xiao Xiang's body.
He had heard that the newly appointed King Chuan had an extraordinary appearance, but he never thought that Xiao Xiang would be such a beautiful and charming young lady, unlike the overbearing and despicable Xiao Xuan in the slightest.
He pulled Xiao Xiang's hand and invited him passionately: "It's difficult for King Chuan to come to Shang Jing, why don't you stay in the palace for a few more days!"
Xiao Xiang frowned, if not for the fact that Yin Zhun was the Son of Heaven, she would have immediately turned hostile. The smile on her face did not change, and she tenderly and gently rejected: "This humble subject has come to Shang Jing secretly this time, and most of the ministers in the court still do not know that this humble subject has already returned Chuan to his majesty, so this humble subject has to hurry back to the Zhaoyang to announce this matter to the ministers."
"Then it doesn't need to be these few days!" Yin Zhun just didn't have the ability to make out other people's expressions, but Xiao Xiang had already tactfully rejected them. However, he still held onto Xiao Xiang's hand and refused to let go, insisting that she stay in the palace for a few days.
Xiao Xiang felt it was funny as she looked at Yin Zhun. She finally understood why the great Son of Heaven would fall to the point of becoming a Feng Country Puppet. Not only did Yin Zhun have nothing, he even had a crush on women. How could such a person be worthy to be the Son of Heaven?
She could still bear it, and continue explaining to Yin Zhun. Tang Yin's patience had already been worn out.
Without any warning, there was a dull thud, surprising Yin Zhun and Xiao Xiang. The two of them turned around and saw that Tang Yin had kicked a stone pillar in the hall.
As if nothing had happened, Tang Yin used his hand to knock on the stone pillar, and said to himself: "It's quite sturdy." While speaking, he turned around and looked at Yin Zhun who had a surprised face, and said in a deep voice: "If King Chuan did not announce the matter of the feudal fiefdom, then the war of the Chuan Country would not have ended. If King Chuan did not announce the matter of the feudal fiefdom, then the war would not have ended.
Yin Zhun was not afraid of him, but in front of Tang Yin, he was like a mouse that had seen a cat. He repeatedly nodded as he listened, and anxiously replied: "Yes, yes, yes, My beloved deputy is right!"
As he spoke, he saw Tang Yin's cold and pressing gaze fall onto his hands. He looked down and realized that he was still holding onto Xiao Xiang's hand, and as if he had been shocked by electricity, he immediately let go of Xiao Xiang's hand and sat back down on the dragon throne.
Tang Yin was quite capable in treating this foolish and useless Son of Heaven. Xiao Xiang snickered in her heart.
Returning back to the Dragon Throne, Yin Zhun suddenly thought of something, he picked up the King Chuan's seal and said seriously: "It is a meritorious deed for King Chuan to hand over the feudal fiefdom, I am grateful to you this time, and I will keep your title as a duke. This seal, King Chuan can take it back! "In the future, I hope that King Chuan can wholeheartedly support me. I also hope that I can rely on you for more matters of the court."
Ouch! Yin Zhun's decision was something both Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang did not expect. Stunned for a moment, Xiao Xiang walked forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "This humble subject thanks Your Majesty for your grace!"
"My beloved deputy, quickly get up!" Yin Zhun immediately bowed and waved her hands, but her lecherous eyes once again landed on Xiao Xiang's body, unable to shift away.
That night, Tang Yin summoned the Minister of Civil And Military Affairs members and recounted the matter of Xiao Xiang returning the feudal fiefdom to the Son of Heaven Yin Zhun.
When they heard the news, all of the ministers' faces changed. The King Chuan actually gave the situation back to the Son of Heaven, which meant that right now, the land of Chuan was already the direct subordinate of the Son of Heaven. Their side could no longer use troops there, and the war in the land of Chuan could also be declared to be over.
"In that case, we must withdraw our troops from Sichuan immediately ?" Shangguan Yuanji's face revealed shock as he muttered.
"Not yet!" Tang Yin explained: "Chuan Army does not know of Xiao Xiang's decision, if our army suddenly withdraws, Chuan Army will seize the opportunity and pursue."
Everyone nodded. Qiu Zhen said faintly: "Our retreat is very easy, it only needs the King to give the order, but, the Chastity Army may not listen to the King's orders, it is reported that the Chastity Army has already attacked Grand Martial County, if the Chastity Army were to open up Grand Martial County again, then the next step would be Zhaoyang. With the People of Zhen Country's hatred towards the Chuan Country, I am afraid that the People of Zhen Country would not necessarily accept them if they were to withdraw! "
