It had to be said that other than his shortcoming of being too realistic, Shen Feng was still quite smart.
Just by guessing the true meaning of the word "Wuzhen", Xie Tian's view of Shen Feng changed a little.
Back when he was forced to flee the Middle Continent by the She Clan, Xie Tian had been holding back his anger. He named his clone Wuzhen to express his determination to return in the most domineering way to deal a heavy blow to the She Clan!
He had done all this, but he didn't expect that he would be so domineering when he returned to the Ancient Battlefield and when he saved Wu Shang.
Sitting in the golden carriage for the second time, listening to the commotion outside, Xie Tian's usual calmness surprised Shen Feng.
"The entire nation is waiting to welcome you, but you're not excited at all?" Shen Feng asked with a smile as he poured wine.
Xie Tian lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully, "A little scared."
"Scared …" Shen Feng placed the two cups of wine in front of Wu Shang and Xie Tian and sighed. "Not only you, when you were killed by Lu Xian, I was so scared that I dropped my jade spear on the ground, heh …"
Speaking up to this point, Shen Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He looked at Xie Tian bitterly and asked seriously, "Xie Tian, I have something to discuss with you."
"Your Highness, please instruct me." Xie Tian put down the wine cup and cupped his fists.
"Don't play like this in the future. You can take it, but I can't."
Xie Tian was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Wu Shang heard Shen Feng's words and immediately spat out the wine. After thinking for a while, he laughed out loud again.
With just one sentence, the slightly oppressive atmosphere in the Golden Chariot became warmer. Seeing this, the tightness in Shen Feng's heart loosened a little.
This sentence was very professional. It seemed to be a discussion, but it was actually a high-level flattery that had reached an invisible level. Furthermore, it was very strange that it wasn't aimed at Xie Tian.
After all, Xie Tian was still so calm in the face of the whole nation. Shen Feng knew that flattery would not work on Xie Tian, so the target of this flattery was Wu Shang.
Shen Feng knew very well that although Wu Shang was loyal and devoted, his Divine Decree would more or less cause a knot in Wu Shang's heart. What was even stranger was that the knot in Xie Tian's heart was even bigger.
He knew very well how important Wu Shang was to Xie Tian, as well as how much Wu Shang valued Xie Tian. Therefore, when he complimented Xie Tian, Wu Shang was happy, and when Wu Shang was happy, the knot in Xie Tian's heart would more or less disappear. pb.m
This method once again displayed Shen Feng's superior wisdom. The reason why he did this was to resolve the knot in Xie Tian's heart.
Of course, the knot wouldn't disappear completely.
Therefore, when Wu Shang laughed, Shen Feng stood up solemnly and bowed to Xie Tian again.
"Your Highness …" Xie Tian was shocked and hurried to return the bow, but was stopped by Shen Feng.
"Let me finish." Shen Feng sighed and said slowly, "After Lord Wu Shang disappeared, Father went into the Yangxin Hall of the Divine Palace and hasn't come out yet. Two months later, when Lord Wu Shang appeared, the three Prefecture Lords came …"
Xie Tian listened very carefully. Previously, he had more or less guessed the difficulty of the Jin Dynasty. Now that he heard Shen Feng's words, he realized that the difficulty had risen to the level of a national disaster.
After all, Shen Feng was not the God Emperor, nor was he a Prefecture Lord. The Jin Dynasty had temporarily lost the number one person in the Nine States. Even if they had three hundred and sixty cities, the number one army of the Nine States, and an unfathomable foundation, under the Nine States' God Punisher, even if the Jin Dynasty could resist, their strength would suffer unprecedented damage.
"Therefore, I could only play an empty city trick and use Lord Wu Shang to delay time until Father appeared. As long as Father appeared, Lord Wu Shang would definitely be able to return safely. But I never thought …"
Shen Feng looked at Xie Tian with a bitter smile and shook his head, "Father didn't appear, but you did."
Xie Tian was silent, but Wu Shang was moved and said seriously, "Your Highness, you did the right thing! Xie Tian was wrong! "
"Xie Tian is right, I was wrong."
Seeing that Xie Tian was calm, Shen Feng was still nervous. He sighed and said, "Xie Tian, I will tell you one more thing."
"I am all ears."
"Do you know what Imperial Father told me the most during the Ancient War Ground incident?"
Xie Tian did not know.
"He wanted me to treat you as my blood brother!" Shen Feng looked straight at Xie Tian, "You don't know how much Father values you and how important you are to the Jin Dynasty. But I know! For you, not to mention Lord Wu Shang, even I would rather die for you! "
Xie Tian's pupils shrank. Without hesitation, he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I cannot accept such words …"
"In the three thousand years of the Jin Dynasty, only you can accept it!" Shen Feng helped Xie Tian up and said sincerely, "If I die, there is still Second Brother and Third Brother. If you die, there will be no Xie Tian in the world!"
Hearing this, Xie Tian was stunned. He did not expect that Shen Feng would use such humiliating words to elevate his status.
Not to mention Xie Tian, even Wu Shang was stunned. When he regained his composure, he was overjoyed.
He knew that the Shen Emperor would abdicate after two hundred years. It was less than seven years before Shen Feng became the Shen Emperor. Now that Xie Tian was valued so highly by Shen Feng, how high would Xie Tian be in seven years' time?
Perhaps the first Emperor in the three thousand years of the Jin Dynasty would be Xie Tian!
"Quickly thank His Highness for his favor!" Wu Shang shouted excitedly.
Xie Tian paused for a second and was about to express his gratitude when Shen Feng bowed to him and Wu Shang.
"Your Highness, you can't …"
"I said so much because I wanted to admit my mistake."
Shen Feng bowed and stood up. He said with shame, "To ensure the safety of the Jin Dynasty, I risked Lord Wu Shang's life. This is my first crime, the second …"
At this point, Shen Feng bowed again. "I borrowed the power of an important official to summon Xie Tian back with tears in my eyes. I had no choice. Please forgive me, Lord Wu Shang."
"Your Highness, you are too kind!" Wu Shang's left eye was moist. He said emotionally, "For His Majesty, for the Jin Dynasty, Wu Shang has no regrets!"
With tears in his eyes, Shen Feng held Xie Tian's hand emotionally. He said with a choked voice, "I am so lucky that you sent Lord Wu Shang back safely. Only then did I have the chance to admit my mistake. Otherwise, even if I die, I will not be able to rest in peace …"
This sincere apology was out of Xie Tian's expectation.
"Regarding the Autumn Hunting Painting, I originally thought that Your Highness was arrogant and aloof. I didn't expect you to be an upright person who dares to take responsibility for your actions …"
For Xie Tian, the safety of the Jin Dynasty was not as important as the safety of Wu Shang. No matter how many reasons Shen Feng had to do this, he would not accept or acknowledge them. He only cared about Wu Shang.
That was why when he saw the decree in Ning Zhou, he was furious. But now, the dignified Crown Prince was willing to admit his mistake. Such a good attitude completely melted away the knot in Xie Tian's heart.
Seeing the sincere smile on Xie Tian's face, Shen Feng's tense heart completely relaxed.
"Xie Tian, in order to dissolve the barrier between you and me, I will humiliate myself. Once I inherit the throne, you and I will join hands and unite the nine states!"
When the golden carriage arrived outside the palace, Shen Feng carried Wu Shang on his back and held Xie Tian's hand as they walked towards the palace gate.
Seeing this, the people who came with the three carriages cheered wildly. The Jin Dynasty could have such a humane Crown Prince. This was the fortune of the Jin Dynasty! The fortune of the world!
What they did not know was that inside the golden carriage, Shen Feng even bowed twice to admit his mistake. They also did not know that Shen Feng did this only to dissolve the barrier in Xie Tian's heart.
"Feng 'er, you are indeed much stronger than His Majesty …"
Standing in the crowd, Lonely Spirit Granny sighed in relief. She then looked to her side and saw Hong Yi's absent-minded expression. She could not help but laugh.
"My little Yi Yi, do you want to enter the palace?"
"Yes … oh, no!"
Hong Yi was shocked and her face turned red. Her bashful look almost made Hong Ren's eyes fall out.
"So you don't want to." Lonely Spirit Granny smiled and teased, "If that's the case, you can go home. We have to enter the palace."
Hong Yi paused, "Great Grandmother, His Highness the Crown Prince did not summon you …"
"By the Crown Prince's order, all sixth-rank officials and hundreds of officials are to enter the palace to welcome Master Wu Shang and Master Xie Tian!"
"Yes!"
Those who were qualified to attend the banquet entered the palace excitedly. Lonely Spirit Granny's playfulness did not diminish. She smiled and said, "Yi Yi, you can go back. We are leaving …"
"Great Grandmother, I, I …" Hong Yi was embarrassed and anxious. Suddenly, she saw the strange smile on Lonely Spirit Granny's face and became embarrassed. "Great Grandmother, you, you are bullying Yi Yi!"
"Hahahaha, you were the one who said you didn't want to. Let's go …"
Hong Yi stomped her feet for a long time. Finally, she could not help but run after her, causing the Hong Family to laugh.
"I, I am returning his things. It's not what you think!"
"What are we thinking? Tell us, haha …"
