Chapter 147 The Secrets of the Murong Family
Previously, Murong Haoxuan had the air of a noble young master, making it clear at a glance that he came from an extraordinary background.
However, now he seems to have gained a bit more heroic spirit and a murderous aura, making him look completely different.
Most noticeably, he has become much calmer.
He's no longer as unreliable as before.
It seems that the military is indeed the best place to change a person.
"Haha! It's all thanks to General Huo's excellent teaching!"
Hearing Ying Chen's praise, Murong Haoxuan scratched his head shyly and said...
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. How's it going in the army? Are you settling in well?"
Ying Chen smiled and asked.
"Good, very good. The soldiers in the army have all treated me very well. This is a feeling I've never experienced in the Murong family..."
Murong Haoxuan's eyes lit up as he spoke excitedly.
"So what are your plans for the future? Will you stay in Qin or return to the Murong family?"
Upon hearing Ying Chen's question, Murong Haoxuan fell silent.
He genuinely wanted to stay in Qin and continue fighting alongside the army.
However, the Murong family also needs him.
His father only had him as a son, and he was raised as the heir from a young age.
If he stayed in Da Qin, his father and the clan elders would definitely not agree.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know!"
Murong Haoxuan lowered his head in disappointment and said.
Seeing his expression, Ying Chen smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. You should go back to the Murong family first! I just returned from the Murong family, and your father was very worried about you..."
"Just returned from the Murong family?"
Murong Haoxuan was somewhat puzzled, as he was unaware of the previous attack on the Murong family.
Therefore, he assumed that Ying Chen had returned to Qin after the Genius Tournament ended.
Ying Chen nodded and recounted the story of the Murong family.
"What? The Murong family is being besieged by more than ten forces?"
Upon hearing Ying Chen's account, Murong Haoxuan's expression immediately changed drastically, and he panicked.
However, upon hearing that Ying Chen had helped the Murong family annihilate the invading enemy, he felt a great sense of relief.
He bowed deeply to Ying Chen and said, "This humble general thanks Your Majesty for your help; otherwise, the Murong family would have been in grave danger!"
"No need for formalities. In the end, this whole affair was caused by me. I'm just dealing with my own affairs after death..."
Ying Chen gestured with his right hand and spoke.
"No, Your Majesty, even without you, those forces would still besiege my Murong family..."
Murong Haoxuan said with a solemn expression.
"Oh? What do you mean by this?"
Ying Chen asked with some doubt.
"Your Majesty, you don't know!"
Murong Haoxuan's expression was rather unpleasant.
"My Murong family was not a reclusive family before!"
"Previously, we encountered some unforeseen events that severely damaged our family's strength, which is why we were forced into seclusion!"
"In recent years, the strength of my Murong family has recovered somewhat, and we have gradually reappeared in the world's sight!"
"And after my Murong family entered a semi-secluded state, those enemies from back then began to stir..."
"Even without His Majesty's actions at the Genius Tournament, they would still have found an opportunity to attack my Murong family..."
"His Majesty merely gave them an excuse!"
Murong Haoxuan recounted the story of the Murong family in detail.
"This humble general must thank Your Majesty for eliminating those hidden dangers for my Murong family!"
Then, Murong Haoxuan bowed to Ying Chen again and said sincerely.
"I see!"
After listening to Murong Haoxuan's account, Ying Chen nodded slightly.
He said it was strange that even though he had killed a Void Refinement expert from the Azure Sky Dynasty at the Genius Tournament.
There's no reason for so many forces to attack the Murong family at the same time!
So there was such a secret.
"Your Majesty! Before joining the Daqing army, I said I would give you a surprise upon my return..."
"Do you remember?"
Murong Haoxuan looked up at Ying Chen and spoke.
"That is indeed the case. I'd like to know what kind of surprise you have in store for me!"
Ying Chen nodded, looking at Murong Haoxuan expectantly.
"Your Majesty will find out soon. This humble general wishes to return to the Murong family first, and will bring you the surprise upon my return!"
Murong Haoxuan smiled mysteriously and said.
"Making it all so mysterious!"
Ying Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Alright! You've been out for quite a while now, it's time to go back and see. I'll give you a three-month leave. After you go back, think carefully about whether you want to continue serving in my Great Qin army or return to the Murong family as your young master!"
"Here!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Murong Haoxuan bowed respectfully and said.
Afterwards, Murong Haoxuan returned to the banquet and continued drinking with his soldiers.
The celebration banquet lasted for three days before it slowly came to an end.
The generals also drank to their hearts' content.
After all, alcohol is prohibited in the military, and drinking alcohol without permission is a serious crime.
No one dares to commit this.
So at the victory celebration banquet, they drank to their hearts' content.
They drank most of the sacred wine in the palace.
This made Ying Chen extremely distressed.
You should know that this is not ordinary wine, but spiritual wine brewed from spiritual herbs.
Each jar of wine is worth thousands of spirit stones, and the spirit wine from these generals, plus the wine from the soldiers in the army last time, totals more than ten thousand jars.
This amounted to tens of millions of spirit stones.
However, it was all worth it.
The soldiers are fighting desperately on the battlefield, how could he not even spare a little wine?
............
After the victory celebration banquet, Murong Haoxuan left the Great Qin Dynasty.
However, he did not return directly to the Murong family, but instead went to the Huangfu Emperor's court.
Inside a main hall of the Huangfu Emperor's Palace.
Two beautiful figures were cultivating together, and rich spiritual energy permeated the area around them, entering their bodies through their breath.
Just then, Xuemei walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty, Murong Haoxuan, the young patriarch of the Murong family, requests an audience!"
"Hmm? Brother?"
Murong Yishuang opened her beautiful eyes and said in surprise.
