Xiao Qi looked at Fang Hao's expression and said calmly: "Your Highness, if the emperor is not here, how can we reward him based on his merits?"
"Of course someone comes to reward me for merit. Did you peek at the letter the emperor wrote to me?" Fang Hao glanced at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi gave Fang Hao an aggrieved look: "Your Highness, you just threw that letter on the bed. I didn't peek at it."
After saying that, Xiao Qi said inexplicably: "Your Highness, the report you asked for rewards for everyone was also sent back, but there was no response. Is it accurate or not? Aren't you worried, if what you promised can't be done?
what to do?"
Xiaoqi's words indeed mentioned something that Fang Hao was worried about, but she smiled and said: "For such a big event, an imperial envoy with a reward must be dispatched. How can it be so easy? After all, you can be granted a title of marquis, prime minister, and a king to ask for reward.
Of course there are procedures."
"Your Highness, don't think about the good things. You are the Protector God King. In theory, you are on an equal footing with the emperor. You can just let you handle the reward of the emperor by yourself. Besides, you are on the battlefield and know it better than anyone else.
, who has made great contributions, but the emperor is not free and easy. Either the emperor regrets now that the title he gave you is too heavy and the power is too great, and he wants to take back some of it. Or it is probably because some princes and ministers of Daqi are obstructing it.
Since ancient times, there have been no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country.”
Xiaoqi was very strange today and talked a lot.
Fang Hao frowned, but said with a smile: "Don't worry so much. Jiuyang Divine Sect must be the state religion, and I will definitely fight for it for everyone."
"Hey, Your Highness, don't you know what we want now? In addition to the original Daqi soldiers and the Sinful Leader, we are the Nine Sun God Sect, the Blood Demon Sect, the Beast Control Sect, and the Taiping Mansion's wealthy and noble families.
The Eight Sects..." Xiaoqi said this, but didn't say any more.
Because Fang Hao was staring at her with sharp eyes at this moment, Xiao Qi did not speak, but she was not afraid at all, her expression was very calm, and her eyes were still as clear as a clear spring on her beautiful face, without any impurities.
"Did Shen Yutang ask you to tell me this?" Fang Hao said calmly.
"Your Highness, you...are pretending to be stupid on purpose. You know it very well, but you just don't think about it." At this moment, Xiao Qi didn't look like a maid at all, but like Fang Hao's friend.
Because Fang Hao has always despised the concept of superiority and inferiority in his heart and bones, naturally he has never regarded Xiaoqi as a servant and has always been very casual.
Of course, this is certainly not the main reason why Xiaoqi dared to speak.
Fang Hao didn't say anything, just looked at Xiaoqi.
Xiao Qi was not afraid and continued: "Our Jiuyang Divine Sect assists you and regards you as a divine envoy to the whole world, not to make you the prince of a country. The reason why the Blood Evil Sect is marrying you is not to make Tantai Wen
When Xiao becomes a princess, she does not want to form an alliance with a prince. The Beast Control Sect is simpler. They want to break out of the world and make the Beast Control Sect glorious again. Do you think that most of the sects will come to help you, regardless of life and death?
Are you really making enemies for the Beast Control Sect just to assist His Highness and open up new territories for Da Qi?"
Having said this, Xiao Qi glanced at Fu Fu who was standing aside. Fu Fu immediately understood and ran out quickly and closed the door.
Then he continued: "The Gongye family of Taiping Prefecture, as well as the three wealthy chaebols, the eighteenth and third-rate sects, are working with you, but I heard that His Highness promised to give Gongye Changming a position as a prince. What is a prince? He has real power.
Your Highness, do you think Gongye Changming took a huge risk just to get a false prince title for the family?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Qi frowned: "Your Highness, why didn't you say a word?"
Fang Hao smiled lightly and said, "I'm looking to see how much more you have to say."
"After all, do you think we are all selfish? To put it bluntly and simply, is it enough to win the Chen Kingdom? Shouldn't it be the hero's lifelong wish to compete in the world?"
Xiaoqi's expression gradually became serious: "Your Highness, don't you want to unify the nine states, achieve unparalleled achievements, unify the world, and have no more wars, so that the people of the world can live in peace? Although this war did not last long, but
Your Highness, you have also seen the harm caused by war to ordinary people. In the face of war, human life is like a piece of grass!"
Fang Hao's eyes were somewhat bright, and when he looked at Xiao Qi's charming face, it was filled with seriousness and even a bit of solemnity.
Finally, Fang Hao said: "I do hope that the world will be unified, but what you want me to do will only cause war to reignite in this land that has just ended. I destroyed Chen State, and I will turn around and go back to destroy it."
Qi State?"
"If you want to unify the world, you will naturally have to go through countless battles, killings, and deaths, but you will work hard for the peace and tranquility of the future. Just like now, there are wars everywhere in Kyushu, and the people in the sinful leader are so helpless and miserable. This
There are many places in Kyushu that are just like the sinful leaders, and they all need someone to rescue them and lead them out of pain."
Xiaoqi's face became more solemn: "Actually, our Jiuyang God Sect is indeed a state religion, but we also hope that there will be no war in the world and everyone can be healthy. This is our Jiuyang God Sect's ultimate dream."
"You are the best lobbyist, but I am not an unkind person. Meng Zheng and I are friends, and I have never betrayed my friends." Fang Hao said firmly.
Xiaoqi's face froze slightly, and she said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, you are in a high position, can't you still see through it?"
"See through? I haven't been able to see through many things in my life, and there's no need to see through. If I see through, I'll be cold and heartless. Does that mean I'm a human being?"
At this point, Fang Hao laughed: "Of course, there is also the most important reason, I don't want to be the emperor!"
At this moment, Xiao Qi understood why Fang Hao was indifferent even after she said so much. Xiao Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Why? Isn't it what a man wants to pursue and aspire to dominate the world?"
"What I pursue and yearn for..." Fang Hao did not continue, but he told the answer in his heart. His roots are in the lower world. Maybe he is just a passer-by here.
Xiaoqi was a little troubled and sighed: "Is it that your highness is pursuing the ethereal and infinite peak of martial arts?"
"No, but let me tell you, I don't have much ambition for the world, and I'm not the kind of great sage who wholeheartedly serves the people. In fact, I just can't let go of family ties and brotherhood.
People who can't put aside their feelings, the Chen clan has a grudge against me in a strict sense, so I want to destroy the Chen Kingdom. From now on, I won't offend others unless they offend me!" Fang Hao stood up and walked outside.
Standing at the door, Fang Hao said without looking back: "Although I have low ambitions, I am still a man who sticks to his word. I will definitely accomplish what I promised." (To be continued)
