Chapter 95 Princess Yiguang
After dinner, Ren Ning brought some small gifts to visit two neighbors.

The other party's threshold is too high and may not be able to enter.

But it's good to be polite.

With Xiao Gang around, entering Uncle Zhongyong's mansion is naturally not a problem.

The two wandered around, and met the current Zhongyong Bo on the school grounds.

On a hot day, Xiao Zheng was sweating profusely practicing spear skills.

A silver gun made him dance vigorously.

"Father?" Xiao Gang's eyes widened, "Did you drink too much in broad daylight?"

In the past, Uncle Zhongyong would come to the school to practice martial arts. Ninety-eight out of ten, he would go out to a party and only behave after getting drunk.

After a while, after practicing marksmanship routines, Xiao Zheng stopped to rest out of breath.

"What kind of wine are you drinking in broad daylight! I'm happy for my father today." He wiped his sweat while looking at Ren Ning.

"Which family is this child from? It looks much more serious than your old cronies."

Ren Ning clasped his fists: "Ren Ning of the Starfall Legion, meet Uncle Xiao."

hiss!
"Are you that Ren Ning?" Xiao Zheng leaned back in surprise, "In Xingji City these days, your name can be described as thunderous."

"Father, it's that Ren Ning." Xiao Gang explained hilariously, "Brother Ren and his son share the same interests. He just moved to our Yong'an Hutong, so he came here and went to the door."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Zheng was stunned and glanced west.

"Those who are close to Zhu are good, and those who are close to ink are black. Captain Ren is young and promising. If you have time in the future, welcome to come over more often. It is best to teach this useless brat for me."

Xiao Zheng said bluntly, but his mood was a bit complicated.

Ren Ning's house was originally part of their Xiao family.

But the ancestors were incompetent, and they couldn't even keep their ancestral property.In the end, it fell into Ren Ning's hands.

Comparing people to people makes people mad.This kid is almost as old as his second son, but he has already earned a fortune by his own strength.

Unknowingly, Xiao Zheng clenched his teeth.

He shook his sore hands, grabbed the spear and prepared to continue practicing martial arts.

"Father," Xiao Gang asked curiously without noticing his expression, "You are in such a high spirit today, is there something good for you?"

Xiao Zheng loosened his knees, and sat down on the tea stool again.

He glanced at Ren Ning, "The news came out early this morning that His Majesty intends to send troops to conquer Nanfeng. He even passed the Ministry of War and directly ordered the Xingluo Army to be transferred to Zhennan Pass."

Together in the war, these military generals have a chance to gain military merit.Only the Zhongyong uncle's mansion, which is in danger, has a chance to keep the title.

Xiao Gang nodded suddenly, "No wonder my father practiced martial arts so diligently in the hot weather."

It turned out to be grinding the gun in front of the battle.

Of course, Xiao Gang didn't dare to say what happened next.However, Xiao Zheng understood what he heard, and couldn't help but blush.

His great-grandfather was also the last Duke of the Xiao family.

It was Nan Feng who led the army back then, but he fell off his horse in fright, crying and going home.

It can be said that it was the most embarrassing scene for the Xiao clan.As a result, the descendants could hardly raise their heads in the imperial capital.If it weren't for His Majesty Taizu, Uncle Zhongyong's mansion would have been raped by the emperor back then.

And in those few years, Yunchui's internal chaos was in turmoil, and the various princes fought for the throne, and the empire was full of flames.

Neighboring countries in the southeast and northwest saw the opportunity and attacked en masse.For a while, Yun Chui looked at one thing and lost another.

In the end, the Nanfeng army drove straight in, and almost no one stopped them all the way north, almost reaching the Xinglan Grand Canal.

Thinking of these past events, Xiao Gang suddenly longed for it.

"It would be great if my son could marry a strange woman like Princess Yiguang."

At that time, the major legions were running around, giving priority to the most powerful Xiliang Empire and the Beixiong Empire in the north, taking care of the little Nanfeng flawlessly.

It's just that Xiao Guogong was cowardly and couldn't stop him.

In the end, Huo Zheng, the son of Duke Zhen at that time, led the conquest, and the newly married thirteen princesses also followed her husband to the south.

The husband and wife are young, but as soon as they set off, they immediately swept away all the small countries in the south.

Not only did they drive them all out of Yunchui, they even went all the way south to the capital of Nanfeng.King Nanfeng was forced to personally go to Xingji City to plead guilty, cede land and pay compensation, and become a minister and pay tribute.

The emperor was overjoyed.

However, the government of Zhen Guo has been sealed and nothing can be sealed, and the thirteen princes who married along with the seal are princesses, named Yi Guang.

The meaning of shining barbarians.

snort!
After hearing his son's words, Xiao Zheng snorted.

Your Majesty has three palaces and six courtyards, and there are more than twenty princesses at one step, so it is not difficult to marry.

But there are not many princesses with titles, and he still wants to fulfill Princess Xiao Gangshang's sweet dream.

Soon, the father and son came back to their senses and wiped away the wishful thinking.

Xiao Gang hesitated for a while, "Father, the world of Xingji City is too small. There is a war in the south, and my son wants to join the army like Brother Ren, so as to contribute to the Xiao family."

"Join the army?" Xiao Zheng was taken aback, then shook his head subconsciously, "You are still young, joining the army is too dangerous. Your mother won't let you go. Besides, isn't Weifu going to recommend you to join the Jinwu Guard next year..."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Ren Ning who was standing upright beside him, and he silently stopped talking.

After a long silence, Xiao Zheng asked, "Have you thought about it carefully?"

Xiao Gang nodded heavily.

Xiao Zheng nodded: "It's not impossible for you to join the army. Then you have to convince your mother first. Then practice hard..."

call.

Before he could speak, Xiao Gang had already run to the back house.

Ren Ning said that Xiao Zheng chatted a few words before leaving Uncle Zhongyong's mansion and transferred to Duke Zhenguo's mansion.

Send a small gift and explain the intention to the doorman.

Ren Ning thought he could leave.

However, it was beyond his expectation.

Not long after the gatekeeper went in to report, he trotted out all the way, and welcomed Ren Ning into the Zhen Guogong's mansion with a smile on his face.

Front yard, main hall.

Sitting on the main seat was a graceful and elegant old lady with white hair hanging down, without any headgear, and a crested staff in her hand.

The prince of Zhen Guo Gong with a smile on his face was by his side.

Ren Ning saw the colorful phoenix on the opponent's body at a glance, and couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly cupped his fists in salute: "Weichen Xingluo Legion Ren Ning pays his respects to His Royal Highness Princess Dachang and the son of Lord Zhen Guo."

Princess Yiguang chuckled, "As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Ren Ning, right? No need to be polite. Come and let me have a look?"

Ren Ning was stunned.

Although the two families are in the same alley, the two mansions occupy a vast area. They are said to be neighbors, but in fact the gates are far apart.It is almost impossible to come in and out at ordinary times.

Where did the neighbor come from?
Furthermore, the government of Zhen Guogong has all the power in the world, and relatives no matter how far away are probably very close to them.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Ren Ning still took a few steps forward to let Princess Yiguang see clearly.

"Not bad. He has made a name for himself at a young age, and he is indeed a calm and steady kid. It seems that Qing'er is right."

Sunny?

Ren Ning tilted his head suspiciously.

The prince of Zhen Guogong next to him explained with a smile: "Grandmother is talking about Concubine Qing. She is my aunt."

Ren Ning immediately understood.

The three of them sat down, chatted, and talked about a common topic, that is, Yanzhen Fortress.

"The fortress seems to be impenetrable, but the legion has switched back and forth, and all kinds of people have entered. I heard that Brother Ning has caught a lot of secret work?"

The general guarding the fortress is the husband of Princess Yiguang, so Ren Ning naturally did not hide it.

"I happened to meet it, so I got it out."

"Where are they all from?" asked the old lady.

Ren Ning hesitated for a moment, "There are neighboring countries in the surrounding area, as well as legions in various parts of the empire."

Princess Yiguang nodded, not surprised at all.

"Your Majesty has been in poor health for the past few years, and his temper is unpredictable. Natural disasters and human disasters have occurred frequently in various parts of the empire, and the princes have grown up. No matter where you go or who you meet in the future, you must be more careful."
