The people of the five kingdoms all mocked him. As the prince consort of Fengyuan and a marquis general, he first submitted to the Southern Champion Court and then shamelessly took the King as his father. She had heard many rumors and rumors about him, but these people didn't know how miserable this man was.

His hand gently held Shang Qiuyuan's hand. His elegant and beautiful face was filled with a gentle smile. In his bright eyes, there was only trust and understanding.

"Brother truly is a strange man. A real man, brother, go. I will wait here for brother's return."

Shang Qiuyuan's gentle and indifferent eyes lit up as he tightened his grip on Ji Tian Ning's hand. It felt soft to the touch, but she understood him the best.

With such a close female friend, what more could he need in life?

"Brother, please go first. Sis, wait a moment."

Letting go of Ji Tian Ning's hand, he jumped onto his horse and urged his horse to ride towards the camp's tent.

He even knew that Shang Qiuyuan and Ji Tianning had met. He quietly sat in the tent, waiting for Shang Qiuyuan to arrive, still thinking that if he used magic three times, the six carefully selected concubines would not be pregnant.

"Your son greets you, royal father."

Just as Shang Qiuyuan walked into the tent and was about to kneel down and pay his respects, Gong Jiu had already stood up. He extended a hand to help Shang Qiuyuan up and smiled, "My son doesn't need to be so courteous. Come and sit beside your royal father, father and son will have a good talk. "

"Father, this is the proper etiquette for this son. How can it be ignored?"

"No need to stand on ceremony, my son. Take a seat."

Shang Qiuyuan sat beside Gong Jiu, saying while looking at him, "Father looks very happy, is there any good news?"

Gong Jiu smiled: "You have good eyesight, so you can't hide anything from my son. Your father is in a good mood today, and just as I was about to go over to your place, you came."

"When I heard that royal father had returned, because of military matters, I was not able to come over in time to pay my respects. I beg your forgiveness, royal father."

Gong Jiu waved his hand, "Between father and son, there is no need to be so distant. You must know that I, my father, treat you as if you were my own father."

Shang Qiuyuan smiled, "Imperial Father was originally this son's father, what personal relationship does he have? Right now, I only have Royal Father as my family, so I can make this son filial."

A deep sadness flashed across his eyes. His parents, wife, and children were all killed in this disaster. Since he had come to pay his respects to Gong Jiu, he treated her sincerely and did not slack off in any way. Regardless of what the palace's nine days meant, he would not be the slightest bit missing because of this.

Between the Emperor of the Southern Champion Kingdom and the King who stood side by side, regardless of what the two were thinking, to the monarch, he was completely loyal to them.

It was because of this that he was impartial and only did his best to fulfill his duty, getting the favor of the King.

"My son's words have made me feel great comfort. Having a son like me is a happy thing in life. "How's the war ahead?"

The two chatted about military matters for a moment. Shang Qiuyuan detailedly discovered that the usual gloominess was absent from the face of the King shoulder to shoulder today. Even the malice that was lingering in his eyes had become slightly clearer.

"When I saw royal father today, his face was rosy and his spirit was jubilant. This son has never seen him in such a joyful mood before. But what joyous event would cause this son to be so happy for my Royal Father? "

"Let's see if my son can guess correctly."

This was the first time that Gong Jiu had spoken like this, and he felt a bit more human and proud of himself.

Shang Qiuyuan muttered to himself for a moment, "Could it be because the empress has a prince that my royal father is so happy, or is it because my royal father has captured Ji Tian Ning? Could it be that Royal Father has an ingenious plan to break through the barrier? "

He pretended to be deep in thought as Gong Jiu fiercely patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I don't believe it. My son, you could not guess that I should not be so happy for you."

Although he said this, his eyes revealed a smile. The reason Shang Qiu was willing to do this was also to make him happy. It could be said that he had put in a lot of effort. With Qiu Yuan's interaction with him, he did not see the slightest bit of grievance on Shang Qiuyuan's face, and wholeheartedly treated him as his son.

This was also the thing that moved him the most, which was why he was willing to trust Shang Qiu Yuan and help him cover up the matter of Ji Tian Ning's escape.

He understood that such a sin was not worth mentioning when placed on him, but Shang Qiuyuan could not afford it.

"Don't try to hide what my son is going to do from now on from me. You must know that I will never stop thinking for my son." My son has to think twice before acting, so my son doesn't have to worry about the matter of Ji Tian Ning. I have already informed the emperor that I am the one in charge of this matter, and Ji Tian Ning has also sent out a Southern Champion, traveling to a foreign land. "

Shang Qiuyuan kneeled down and said with a bowed head, "Many thanks, royal father. Please forgive me."

At this moment, there was no need for him to hide anything. When the Golden Armor had returned, it had already reported everything back to him.

He had only brought a small group of personal guards with him to express his sincerity and to prepare himself for punishment. He did not know how Prince Jian would act, but he also could not completely see through this prince's intentions.

However, this matter had already been exposed, so he could only come forward and beg for forgiveness. He could only hope that he could get along well with the King, obtain the trust of the King, and reduce the punishment, without affecting his plan to join Fengyuan.

There was a faint feeling in his heart that the king wouldn't be too angry over this matter, and that it would lead to a heavy blame.

Gong Jiu looked at Shang Qiuyuan kneeling in front of him without any explanation or rebuttal. He liked such a responsible man and could not help but feel happy. Taking him in as his son was originally one of his moves, but it had yielded a lot.

She appreciated his honesty, but it was not because of the ridicule from others, or because she was forced to face him with a trace of reluctance or awkwardness. In front of him, he would do his best to show his filial piety. He was the first to care for him, and what was considerate about him was something even his own son couldn't compare to.

Reaching out to pull Shang Qiuyuan up, he said gently, "My son, since father has accepted you, and my son also treats you sincerely, there is no need to separate our hearts. "My son's actions are a bit inappropriate. If I had told father in advance, I wouldn't have needed to spend so much time and effort."

"Father, this matter should have been done by your son. Ji Tian Ning has shown kindness to your son, and he has also given a great kindness to your son's soldiers. It was for this reason that this son of mine could not be afraid of the blade and avoid the sword, and let it go as it pleased. Even if he was scolded by the emperor and punished by his father, this son should still do his best to prevent her from suffering and obtain her wish by rescuing her. Your son owes her so much that he should repay her with a fountain of water. "

Gong Jiu nodded his head in a gratified manner, looking at Shang Qiuyuan with an appreciative gaze. For him to treat a girl like this, he would definitely not let down his painstaking efforts.

In terms of gratitude, Shang Qiuyuan owed him a lot to advance to Fengyuan. If it weren't for his backing and support, as well as the reinforcement of his troops to Shang Qiuyuan, he would not have been able to win so victoriously today.

After advancing a few hundred li, the army had entered the fertile water. Now that the four empires had sent out their troops, it was instead Shang Qiuyuan's military merits and speed of entry that made him number one among the four nations. With his full support, a few princes began to try to rope him in. With the help of the subordinates of the old days, it was easy for him to break even in broad daylight.

Especially after he had secretly left Fengyuan, before he had left, he had given the order that all the troops would obey Shang Qiuyuan's orders, and if they did not obey, they would be under martial law.

The second big favor was to take over Ji Tian Ning's matter with him and prevent Shang Qiu Yuan from having any wrongdoings and from being suspected.

Shang Qiuyuan's eyes were filled with gratitude, "This father has done a great favor, this son will never be able to repay it even if he dies."

Gong Jiu smiled in satisfaction and said: "Between father and son, there is no need to talk about kindness. Today, I will tell my son a joyous event. What my son said is extremely true. Ji Tian Ning really does have a way to treat my father's old injuries. Now that I have cast the skill three times, I will be waiting for the good news from my concubines. "

He bowed and said, "Congratulations, royal father. In the future, your father will have a son of his own who can inherit your father's family property. To congratulate your father like this is to congratulate you."

Gong Jiu waved his hand, "My son should not be surprised. There has not been any response to this matter, so aside from my son, I have never told anyone else. If those concubines are unable to accept it, then it would make those despicable people laugh. "

"Father, I have a feeling that Father will have a son of his own. I hope that at that time, Father will not despise me, and just kick me out."

"Haha …"

Gong Jiujiu laughed out loud. His laughter traveled out of the tent and landed in the ears of the Iron Guard and the soldiers outside the tent. Those people looked at each other. It seemed that they had never heard King Shoulder laugh so happily before, so loudly. They couldn't help but inwardly admire Shang Qiuyuan for actually being able to get so much pleasure from King Shoulder.

Looking at the unpredictable King who was the most sinister of the five kingdoms, Shang Qiuyuan felt a bit of pity. He was so lonely, using a cold expression to keep people at a distance, but who would have known that the suffering in his heart was indescribable.

"Qiuyuan, you don't need to worry. In the future, your father will hand over such a large family business and wealth to his son, won't he hand it over to you?"

Shang Qiuyuan looked honestly at Gong Jiu, "Royal Father should have had his own son, so he handed over the family business to him. He has shown me great kindness, and this son should do everything in his power to repay you. However, this son of mine had never thought of taking over his father's family business. "When the Fengyuan Kingdom is destroyed, the day when the Feng Family is exterminated will be the day where I, your son, retreat from this world."

Gong Jiu asked doubtfully: "My son is in the prime of his career, how can he retire at such a young age?"

"Royal father, your son's heart is very tired. After this matter is over, I just want to find a quiet place to live a peaceful life. If royal father ever returns in the future, this son is willing to serve you and will perform the filial duty of a son. "

If it was in terms of power, as the prince consort of Fengyuan, he once held great power in his hands, even the emperor of Fengyuan was a little afraid. Such power was only slightly weaker than his own.

It was only because Shang Qiuyuan was not someone who arrogantly wielded power, and now that he had surrendered to the Southern Champion Kingdom, he was tired of conquering Fengyuan.

Looking at Shang Qiuyuan, whose head was full of silver hair, his heart also felt a bit sad. It was precisely because of Shang Qiuyuan's past that he felt that they shared the same fate. It was precisely because of Shang Qiuyuan's character that he was willing to trust him.

"My son, if you want to do this, I won't force you. However, there are some things that may not go as planned. "Are you here to take Ji Tian Ning away?"

"Royal father, your son has come here to first visit you and to apologize to you. Second, I want to see how good Miss Ji is. Miss Ji is like a little sister to this son. "

"If my son's sister sees father as a child, then she is going to cast the technique for father. After a few days, if the technique succeeds, I will send her to you." My son doesn't have to worry about how father treats my son, and how I treat her, I won't feel the slightest bit awkward or negligent. If my son likes her, that is fine too. "

Shang Qiuyuan was slightly stunned. Since when did Ji Tian Ning actually win against the King of Shoulders?

He was well aware that among the five nations, there were only a handful who could receive such treatment from the King. Most likely, it would only be Gong Huanfeng and him.

"She's quite impressive. She actually won my royal father's favor. I wonder what sort of method she used?"

The more he saw, the more he liked her. If it wasn't for his son's words, Ji Tian Ning would have already been killed.

"That Ji Ji is really a strange person. She is very knowledgeable and has a sharp tongue. Even I like to admire her." Unfortunately, This King does not have such a child. "

"Royal Father's words are biased. Could it be that this son cannot satisfy Royal Father? If that's the case, then this is your son's fault.

As Shang Qiuyuan spoke, he was about to kneel down, but a smile was plastered on his face as he looked at the nine heavens of the palace.

Gong Jiu held onto Shang Qiuyuan's arm and laughed once again. "Good, good, good, you're actually teasing me as well. Could it be that you learned it from Ji Tian Ning?"

"If royal father likes his younger sister, he would take her in as his daughter. She is my younger sister, so it would be appropriate for her to be his daughter."
