General An Bei Ting shall bestow a thousand pieces of brocade, ten thousand taels of gold, and a general of the nation of Feng An. But upon seeing that the general is anxious to protect you, His Majesty decided to reward ten thousand families and dukes with a broken arm! This is it! " Song Huangmen held the golden imperial edict and read out word by word towards the crowd below in a high-pitched voice.

After he finished reading, he put away the imperial edict and looked at Northern Court with a smile. "Congratulations, General An! Congratulations, General An!"

"This official accepts the decree!" He raised a hand high up to receive the imperial edict from the eunuch. After receiving the edict, he knelt down and said, "Your subject thanks your majesty, but this subject has something to tell you!"

"An Qing, just say it!" Li Heng said in a clear voice as he looked doubtfully at Northern Court.

"The military is in a hurry. Your Majesty, please exchange these rewards for food and horses. Have your servant lead these soldiers and beat those wolf cub back to the northern part of the mountain!"

Northern Court had been recuperating in Chang'an City for a few days now. He was anxious like an ant on a hot pan in the face of an increasingly urgent war in Wangzhou. After finally getting his reward, he could no longer hold back the words in his heart and anxiously told Li Heng of his desire.

Li Heng carefully sized up the Northern Court's empty sleeve and slowly said with some misgivings, "Is An Qing's hand okay?"

"This hand of mine is more important than any of the commoners. You've already lost three counties and can't wait any longer!" Northern Court's man waved his arm around, anxious to prove that his injury had healed.

Seeing Northern Court's reaction, Li Heng didn't stop them and said, "Then … This Emperor has promised! "Then An Qing can go and rest in peace. The soldiers and the rations will be here soon!"

"Thank you, your majesty!" He kowtowed heavily in the imperial court and hurried out of the palace without waiting for the assembly to disperse.

"Your Majesty, this?" Some officials saw that the Northern Court was about to say something, and Li Heng's cold eyes greeted them. "I said it already. I, General Xu An, left. What else do you want to say?"

Seeing that Li Heng was doing his best to protect the Northern Court, the officials who should have been speaking also shut their mouths and no longer spoke.

"Song Huangmen, continue!" Li Heng glared at the officer below, closed his eyes, and started rubbing his head.

Song Huang Men nodded and slowly read out, "Under the will of the heavens. Emperor's edict, General Ye Yuanzhong of Pingxi has rendered meritorious service by saving Your Imperial Highness. In the south of Fengxinan County, a thousand brocades and a hundred taels of gold are rewarded. Here it is!"

"… …"

"According to the heavens' will, the emperor decrees that Yangzhou, Zhao Zijin, has rendered meritorious service by saving you …" Just like that, half the time for tea passed until it was Zhao Zijin's turn, but Song Huangmen paused as if he was reciting something. He glanced at Li Heng, intending to pass this hot potato to Li Heng.

Li Heng stared at him, then looked at Zhao Zijin and asked gently, "Zijin, are you still not going to be an official?"

Zhao Zijin bowed and replied, "Like I said, if you don't keep your word, you won't be an official unless you take eight vows!"

"Did you say the same thing about Old Man Zhao as well?" Li Heng had no choice but to ask Zhao Zijin's grandfather.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Zi Jin has already convinced Grandfather, so there's no need for Your Majesty to worry!" Zhao Zijin raised his head and glanced at Li Heng, his eyes blinked, his meaning was clear.

It doesn't matter who you look for, I won't be an official anyway.

Li Heng felt helpless towards this great talent and could only give up. He waved his hand and ended the bounty.

After all the officials had left the palace, Li Heng sat up and rubbed his sore back as he walked towards the palace.

He turned his head to look at Song Huangmen with a sharp and spirited gaze, and softly said towards Song Huangmen, "Song Huangmen, let's go and take a look at those spies who threw their heads and shed their blood for the Great Wei!"

Song Huang Men lowered his head and led Li Heng towards the Heartrecovery Hall.

"How is it, Our Mountain Blows Of The Golden Carp was raised well, right?" Li Heng looked at Li Ye and Zhu Gu Feng, who were standing in front of the Heart Nurturing Palace and sizing up the carp in the Lone Tree Pond, and said in a clear voice.

Upon hearing this voice, Li Yazhu and Gu Feng did not dare to continue watching and immediately decided to kneel.

"Alright, alright. There's only me and the few of you here. Don't bother about these empty courtesies, don't kneel!" Li Heng saw the two of them move and immediately walked forward, stopping their actions.

He took some food from Song Huang Men, twisted some of it, and threw it into the pond. He looked at the carp that were fighting to eat in the lake, and said with a sigh: "This carp has been raised by me for a long time, and has been raised until now."

After speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said with emotion, "At that time, people all said not to raise a golden carp dragon, and raising a golden carp dragon is to covet the throne."

At that time, how could I care about this? I thought to myself, what does raising a few fishes have anything to do with the throne? But who would have thought that not long after I raised this fish, I would slowly change from a prince at the edge to a prince in charge.

Then he looked at Li Ye and Li Jun and slowly said, "Later on, I came to understand, what does this have to do with the fish? It was all due to my own hard work that a fish flew past the Dragon Gate and became a real dragon!"

Before Li Ye and Li Jun could say anything, he said, "Later on, I wanted to set up an intelligence agency, but I don't know what to call it. After I took a look in the pond, I chose the name Flying Fish, hoping to tell Flying Fish that it only takes hard work to succeed."

After he finished speaking, Li Heng smiled towards the two men and continued to speak, "I didn't expect the two of you to be so formidable that you could rely on your own efforts to help me suppress the traitors. Speak, what do you two plan to write? "

Zhu Gufeng hesitated for a moment before saying, "This subject does not want any reward, I only hope that His Majesty can spare Deng Xi Hu's death!"

"Deng Xi Hu? Oh, oh! The spy son of Deng Dingjun? "He … Okay, I have promised that not only will he not die, he will also continue to be his Flying Fish Ace." After Li Heng heard Zhu Gu Feng's words, he pondered for a moment before agreeing. After he finished speaking, he turned to Li Ye and asked, "What about you? What do you want? "

Li Ye was still looking at Song Huang Men, who told him not to take off his human skin mask in front of Li Heng, so he didn't notice Li Heng's question.

Li Ye bowed and said to Li Heng, "I've already avenged Master, and there's no more rebellion in the Azure Province. I want to return to the Azure Province to be a waiter!"

"Oh?" The way Li Heng looked at Li Ye had changed. The smile on his face gradually disappeared and was replaced with an ice-cold and gloomy face. Obviously, Li Ye's answer made him very dissatisfied.
