Episode 10 Chapter 388

Chapter 388

Nie Ze returned to his camp, and not long after, Tang Yin's decree reached its latest chapter. !. The person who came to deliver the message was Ah San, one of Tang Yin's personal guards. He sang Tang Yin's original words. When he saw Nie Ze kneeling on the ground without responding for a long time, the unsmiling Ah San was also happy and walked away. Go and whisper: "General Nie... No, Lord Nie, why don't you quickly accept the order and thank me?!"

As someone close to Tang Yin, Ah San naturally knew Tang Yin's preferences very well. It was obvious that the king still appreciated and valued Nie Ze's abilities. Moreover, he was granted the title of marquis this time, and he would definitely be of greater use to him in the future. He had great regard for Nie Ze. His attitude was also a bit more polite.

Nie Ze came to his senses and realized that Chen Xiu and the others had indeed not lied to him. The king had really made him a marquis. He cheered up, kowtowed forward respectfully, raised his hands high, accepted Tang Yin's order, and then stood up.

Asan smiled and said: "Since the title of Marquis was a temporary decision of the King, the seal and official uniform have not been prepared yet. After returning to the country, the King will arrange everything for the Lord."

"Ah, thank you so much for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Nie Ze first bowed his hands to the side and said, "I feel sorry for you to trouble the Third General to come all the way here at such a late hour!"

Even though Ah San's military rank and official position were not high, he was a close minister around Tang Yin. Even Nie Ze, who was awarded the title of Marquis, did not dare to show any slight to him.

Ah San laughed when he heard this and said: "Master Nie is too polite. Master Nie is my hero for Dafeng. The general is just running an errand, so what does it matter?"

Nie Ze smiled, pondered for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I... Isn't it more appropriate for me to thank you face to face?"

Ah San said seriously: "Your Majesty has already rested. It won't be too late for the Marquis to go back tomorrow to thank you."

"Okay, okay, just as the Third General sees it!" Nie Ze sent Ah San away, then took out Tang Yin's decree, read it carefully from beginning to end, and then slowly put it down, dazed.

To this day he finds it all too unreal. He was originally a surrendered general of the Zhen Kingdom. He relied on others to join the Feng Kingdom. It was not easy to become the commander of an army. However, after the Changdu Battle, he suddenly became the Marquis of the Feng Kingdom. This is too disturbing. Incredibly, he couldn't adapt to such a change for a while.

After hearing the news that Nie Ze was awarded the title of Marquis, the generals of the Baizhan Army rushed over to congratulate Nie Ze immediately. Even Zongbo Li Tang also came. Nie Ze reluctantly exchanged a few words with everyone, and then sent everyone away hastily, leaving only Li Tang alone.

From the bottom of his heart, he admired Li Tang's mind very much, and since everyone was a virgin, he trusted him even more.

There was no one else in the big tent, so Nie Ze asked bluntly: "Mr. Li, do you think... is it a good thing or a bad thing that the king made me a marquis this time?"

Unexpectedly, he would ask such a question. Li Tang was stunned and hesitated for a moment. He smiled and said: "General, is there any need to ask? Of course it is a good thing!"

Nie Ze shook his head and said quietly: "The king sent Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, Zhang Cheng, and Guan Daisi to serve as deputy generals under my account. They are called assistants, but they are actually surveillance. It can also be seen from this that the king does not care about me. Trust. It’s too abnormal to make someone who you don’t trust a marquis all of a sudden. I’m worried that the king wants to stabilize me first, and then secretly..." Having said this, he raised his palm and made a downward cutting motion.

Li Tang's expression suddenly changed. He looked around subconsciously and relaxed a little when he saw that there was no one else around. He said anxiously: "General, don't say this nonsense. Once it spreads, your life will really be in danger!"

Nie Ze stood up, walked up to Li Tang, bowed to the ground, and said, "I regard you as my confidant, so there are some things I only dare to say to you."

Li Tang is smart on the one hand, but the most important point is that he is Liang Feiyun's apprentice, and now that Liang Feiyun is the master of the Feng Kingdom, he is naturally well-informed. Through Li Tang, he may also learn something he doesn't know. Inside story.

Seeing that Nie Ze was so heartfelt to him, Li Tang was also very moved. He rolled his eyes, then smiled slightly and said, "I think the general is worrying too much. If the king just wants to stabilize the general, he can make the general count. That's enough. There is no need to pursue the title of marquis. Besides, the higher the general's title, the higher his status and reputation, and the harder it will be to attack the general in the future. The king is so smart, how can he tie his own hands and feet? I think the king is so smart? I still admire the general very much and want to win him over to the Feng Kingdom and to the king’s side.”

After listening to Li Tang's analysis, Nie Ze felt like he had cleared the clouds and saw the moonlight. He secretly thought that it made sense. If the king really wanted to get rid of him, then the move of chasing him as a marquis seemed superfluous and unnecessary.

He pondered for a while and then said solemnly: "However, the people who asked the king for the title on my behalf are Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, Zhang Cheng and Guan Dai. Sir, you should understand that the four of them have different ideas and different styles from me. No, it’s okay for them to impeach me, but asking for a seal for me is… unbelievable.”

Li Tang was very clear about the relationship between Nie Ze and Chen Xiu. After listening to Nie Ze's words, Li Tang also frowned and murmured: "Yes, if it is really the four of them who speak for the general in front of the king. , it’s really hard for people to understand…”

"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Nie Ze frowned worriedly. People are like this, always full of fear about things they don't understand, and Nie Ze is no exception.

Li Tang pondered for another moment, shook his head and smiled, and said: "I can't guess what General Chen and others are thinking, but I can still tell the general for sure that the king has absolutely no malice in conferring the title on the general. Maybe. , General Chen and others also saw that the general had made great contributions in the battle of Changdu, and wanted to repair the relationship between the two parties. The king was also happy to be a favor, so he blamed General Chen and others for the title of general. "

This is not impossible! Nie Ze nodded while thinking.

Anyway, no matter what, as long as the king's conferment on him is out of love for his talents and not for other purposes, then it is a good thing. If Chen Xiu and the others really wanted to take this opportunity to repair their relationship, he would be willing to accept it.

Nie Ze was very grateful to Li Tang for the analysis he had done for him. The next day, early in the morning, Nie Ze went to the county capital where Tang Yin lived to thank him in person. Soon, the guards sent by Tang Yin invited Nie Ze to Tang Yin's bedroom.

In the past few days, Tang Yin was also very tired from traveling and fighting, so he got up late today. When Nie Ze entered Tang Yin's bedroom, the latter had just gotten up, was wearing middle clothes, and was washing his face.

Logically speaking, his current image is not suitable for meeting guests, but Tang Yin doesn't have so many rules, and he has always been used to being casual.

Seeing Tang Yin just getting up, Nie Ze was a little surprised and a little embarrassed, but he felt a little closer to the king.

He first knelt down and kowtowed to greet Tang Yin, and then kowtowed again to thank Tang Yin for his support.

Tang Yin wiped the water off his hands, then pulled Nie Ze up with a smile and said: "Rewards for merit and punishment for delinquency. This has always been the rule of our Feng Army. The reward I gave to General Nie is what General Nie deserves." of."

"Being able to serve the king is a blessing for a general." Nie Ze bowed and handed over his hand.

"In the military, we are all brothers who fight side by side and share life and death. There is no need to be so indifferent, and there are not so many red tapes." Tang Yin waved his hand casually.

His understatement made Nie Ze very moved and appreciated.

Feng Ren's combat power may not be stronger than Zhen Ren's, but he can defeat the Zhen Army in an upright manner on the battlefield. It can be said that the cohesion possessed by the Feng Army is what the Zhen Army lacks, and this strong cohesion is led by Tang Yin. Inspired by the monarch.

"Have you had breakfast?" Tang Yin asked casually while getting dressed.

"Have eaten." Nie Ze replied subconsciously without thinking.

"Huh?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and turned to look at him doubtfully. It was so early, and the army probably hadn't eaten yet. Where did he eat?

Facing Tang Yin's questioning gaze, Nie Ze quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Not yet... not yet."

"Haha——" Seeing Nie Ze's restraint, Tang Yin laughed loudly and said, "I happen to be eating too, so let's eat together!"

"The general will not dare." Nie Ze and Li Hong had eaten together before, but it was at a formal banquet with many ministers and generals present. In private, he had never had the experience of dining with a monarch. , in his consciousness, this is also very unbelievable, and it is even more contrary to the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers.

"We're just having a meal together, why don't you dare!" Tang Yin put on his clothes, tied his jade belt, and picked up his shoes. When he walked past Nie Ze, he patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Nie Ze followed Tang Yin out of the bedroom and came to the hall outside with a blank look on his face. The maids have prepared a meal, which is not rich, but even light. It consists of a bowl of porridge, a few side dishes, and a plate of bacon.

Since they didn't know that Tang Yin was going to dine with Nie Ze, the maids didn't prepare Nie Ze's table. Tang Yin asked the maid to bring him another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then asked Nie Ze to sit next to him.

He smiled and said: "I only have some simple food here. You can try it and see if you can get used to it."

As the king of a country, and a big country at that, Tang Yin ate these things for breakfast, which surprised Nie Ze. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome. This is what the general eats in the army."

"Yeah!" Tang Yin nodded and said, "Breakfast should be light, but lunch should be rich. The army is no different than elsewhere. You can't treat your stomach badly. Otherwise, you will be in big trouble when you go to the battlefield and are unable to fight. "

Nie Ze was amused by his words, and his tense mood was relieved a lot. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not treat the soldiers' stomachs badly even if I treat my own stomach badly!"
