Chapter 198 Are you King Lanling?
After Shen Changgong chose a mask, he whispered to Yan Fuyao,
"What do you think of this mask for Commander Yu? He looks even less intimidating than me, so a mask would be more appropriate for him."
"I don't think it's necessary. He's the commander-in-chief, not a general who charges into battle. How dangerous would it be if the enemy could see his face clearly?
But it can intimidate subordinates, and it's a nice gesture anyway, so you can buy it and give it to him."
"it is good."
Shen Changgong also paid money and bought the mask.
Seeing that the two people beside him had not left yet, he asked,
"My dear lady, why would you join the army? And why do you insist on meeting Lanling King?"
Before Miss Yang could speak, the dandy young man spoke first.
"He's the only descendant of the Yang family. He's practiced martial arts since he was young and has great skills. He's invincible in the battlefield. Wouldn't it be a waste of his martial arts skills to be a soldier? If he wants to be a general, he'd better be a general."
Miss Yang said quickly,
"I didn't mean to use the backdoor. The main reason is that the military camp doesn't recruit female soldiers. I've been there before, and I had no choice but to think of this way. Don't sue me."
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"No, no, don't worry. Why would you visit Lanling King at night? Don't you usually visit someone's home during the day?"
The young man said contemptuously,
"Humph, you're really not smart when I say you're stupid. Prince Lanling is so busy with so many affairs, such as military camps and palaces, how can he stay at home all day?
Who am I to deserve the prince to wait for me at home? I can only wait until he goes home to rest at night before visiting him. "
"Makes sense!"
Shen Changgong nodded seriously.
"I believe you will be able to meet Lanling King."
"Really? I'll give you my blessing."
"Yes."
Shen Changgong really couldn't hold back his laughter.
The young man asked suspiciously,
"What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at me?"
"No, no, I just thought of something happy."
"What happy thing?"
"My wife is going to have a baby."
The young man looked at the empress suspiciously. She didn't look like she was going to give birth. He knew he was being fooled and said angrily,
"You just kept laughing at me, and you never stopped!"
After saying this, he was about to raise his fist to hit Shen Changgong, but was stopped by Miss Yang, who told him not to fight.
Shen Changgong clasped his hands and said,
"Sir, please spare my life. I am so weak that I cannot beat you with one hand. Goodbye, we will meet again."
After saying that, Shen Changgong took Yan Fuyao and turned to leave.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer he would faint from laughing.
The dandy young man snorted coldly and muttered softly,
"Tsk, who wants to see you again? I won't see you again in this life, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
After Shen Changgong and the other three left and walked into the street, he calmed down.
Even the stern Tu Queling was rubbing his cramped face, his chest heaving.
The Empress asked,
"Wan'er, whose son is this?"
"Your Majesty, this man is Bai Langzhi, the eldest son of the new Court Justice Bai Chongyan. He's considered a dandy in the capital, impulsive, fond of fighting and comparing himself to others, but he's never done anything reckless or forced. At best, he's just a young, energetic playboy."
"In that case, let's spare his life. After all, someone is completely overwhelmed by the praise."
Yan Fuyao glanced at Shen Changgong.
Shen Changgong asked again,
"Who is that woman? Why do you say she's a descendant of the Yang family?"
"I am a descendant of the Yang family of Guannan Commandery. Before the late emperor ascended the throne, the Yang family helped expand the territory of Great Yan and defend against foreign enemies. Seven of their family members died in battle.
Several of his grandsons also joined the army and died in battle.
Only a young son and a young daughter were still alive. The family was made up of orphans and a widow, and was extremely pitiful. Because there was no male heir, there was no one to inherit the title of marquis.
This woman should be Yang Hongying, the only granddaughter of the Yang family."
Shen Changgong sighed upon hearing this.
"The whole family is full of loyal heroes. Even with only one granddaughter left, she still wants to join the army to serve the country. This Yang family is really amazing.
Is it really appropriate for a woman like this to join the army and go to the battlefield?"
Yan Fuyao said,
"Let's talk to her tonight. The country owes the Yang family too much. I will talk to her personally."
"it is good."
Along the way, they picked out a lot of gold and silver jewelry, gave some to Gongsun Wan'er, gave some to Tu Queling as rewards, and finally packed some to take home for their sister-in-law.
In the evening, the four of them took a carriage back to the palace.
The Empress and Wan'er said that they wanted to talk to Yang Hongying in person, but in fact they just wanted to watch the fun.
This was the first time that Shen Changgong brought his wife home, and the Shen family immediately became nervous again.
There is no way, this daughter-in-law is of too high a status.
A moment later, Yu Huatian and Guan Shouchang also arrived. Shen Changgong had sent someone to invite them to his house for dinner.
The two commanders finished their meal in confusion. Shen Changgong didn't talk about business, so they sat in the lobby with the empress and Shen Changgong, drinking tea and chatting about the recent intelligence and state affairs.
When it was completely dark, the doorman came running to report.
"Your Majesty, the Lord Chief Justice is here to visit you."
"Well, please invite the people in."
Shen Changgong nodded.
A moment later, a middle-aged official in casual clothes came in, followed by a young couple and two servants, carrying large and small bags.
As soon as he entered the door, the Chief Justice Bai Chongyan was stunned.
Why is the empress here too?
Bai Langzhi and Yang Hongying were also confused.
Aren’t these the people I saw during the day?
Bai Langzhi pointed at Shen Changgong and shouted,
"How dare you sit in the main seat in the palace? Come down quickly! Is that your place? What will you do if the prince comes and blames you?"
Shen Changgong smiled. This guy seemed to care about him a lot.
Bai Chongyan, who was standing by, was even more confused. He slapped his son on the face and shouted,
"What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard?"
Then he knelt down and saluted,
"Your Highness, Bai Chongyan, pays homage to His Majesty and His Highness!"
Bai Langzhi's head buzzed and he was stunned.
He looked at the young couple sitting in the main seat, and felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
What the hell? What did you say? What the hell!
"You...you are Lanling King?"
"No, I am not."
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"You are."
Bai Chongyan had only one thought at this moment, which was to hack this evil boy who had caused such a huge hole to death with a single blow.
He straightened up and roared,
"You wicked son, if you dare to speak nonsense again, I will chop you into pieces alive. Why don't you kneel down and pay your respects?!"
"Ah? Oh oh!"
Bai Langzhi's body went limp, as if he had no bones. He fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, and said in a crying voice,
"This humble servant pays homage to His Majesty, and His Majesty!"
Yang Hongying behind him also knelt down and saluted.
Who could have thought that a person could be so unlucky that he would offend these two living devils just by going out for a walk.
