I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

The scale of the banquet arranged by the villagers was beyond Yuan Feng's expectations.

It was incredibly good. There was fish, meat, and even the rice was pure white rice.

You know, the staple food in the village is still brown rice.

Yuan Feng drank a glass of wine and started to pick up food frantically.

Although the wine is good, we should not drink too much and let others have a taste. The spiritual energy in this bottle of wine is actually not much, and there is not much point in drinking too much.

At the dinner table, everyone was talking and laughing, but Yuan Feng was more focused on eating.

After eating, he patted his belly.

"So this is the surprise. I am satisfied and full. It is getting dark. I should go home."

"Wait a minute, Captain." Xiaorou stood up with a serious face, "There's a bigger surprise."

"Oh? Bigger?" Yuan Feng rubbed his hands, a little expectant.

"Fellow villagers, please stand up. What I am going to say next concerns everyone!"

After Xiaorou said this, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up.

Yuan Feng was about to lift his butt when he was stopped by Wang Gan.

"Captain, you don't have to stand."

"I'd better stand. It's embarrassing for me to sit alone." Yuan Feng stood up.

Xiaorou glanced around and continued, "The King of Dongzhou has declared himself emperor."

Yuan Feng was stunned for a moment, then sat down again: "I thought it was something else, everyone sit down and continue eating."

If a prince proclaims himself emperor, it is a big event and no one dares to sit down.

"Captain, the King of Dongzhou has proclaimed himself emperor and named his country Yan. Now the young general is the crown prince."

"Feng Shaotian is the prince? That's none of my business." Yuan Feng naturally didn't care since he wasn't the prince.

"What happens next is related to the captain." Xiaorou solemnly took out a yellow imperial edict and said, "Yuanfeng, receive the edict!"

"Hmm? What? You want me to kneel down?"

"That's not necessary. The prince said, Captain, if you don't want to kneel, you can just lie down."

"It's not necessary to lie down. Read what the imperial edict says."

"The Emperor issued an edict, saying: The Crown Prince's close friend Yuan Feng has made outstanding contributions and is to be named the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor. He will be given a first-rank official position, a reward of ten thousand gold coins, and a fief of ten thousand households!"

"Ah? The prince's guardian?"

Yuan Feng was stunned.

What is this? The person is sitting at home, but the official comes from heaven.

"What is that? Hurry up and take the imperial edict back. Tell Feng Shaotian that I don't want to be the crown prince's guardian."

The official position looked good, but Yuan Feng knew very well that Feng Shaotian's father had just proclaimed himself emperor and the world was in chaos, with many people wanting to be emperors like him.

There is still a long way to go if Yuan Feng wants to unify the world, and he doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

"Boy Feng, that's not right, Lord Feng, don't be impulsive. The Prince's Guardian is a first-rank official, you can't just say no." Old man Jiang said anxiously.

"That's right, don't be impulsive. How can you give up your official position? Those scholars study all their lives and try their best to pass the imperial examinations, but you don't want the official position that is delivered to your door."

"Accept the imperial edict. If you become the crown prince's guardian, our Xiufeng Village will also be glorious."

Everyone tried to persuade Yuan Feng.

"Everyone, listen to what I tell the captain first!" Xiaorou raised her hand, and everyone finally stopped talking. "Captain, actually the prince knew you would refuse. He told me to tell you that this position of the prince's guardian is just an empty title without any job. He doesn't want you to contribute. The prince also said that if you really don't want to be one, he won't want the five of us anymore."

"How can you compare with me?" Yuan Feng shook his head. "Okay, I'll take the position. When I go back, tell Feng Shaotian that the merits and achievements in the imperial edict are exaggerated. Don't do this again in the future."

"No." Xiaorou handed over the imperial edict and said playfully, "The five of us train soldiers in the army and lead them to fight in the name of the captain."

"You...you guys went to the front line?" Yuan Feng was stunned. This was what he feared the most. He didn't expect that the five of them would end up going to the front line.

"Captain, are you angry? We didn't mention it in the letter because we were afraid you wouldn't agree."

Yuan Feng was not angry at all, he was just worried about the five people. They were all too young and the battlefield was so chaotic, something would happen if they were not careful. Then they would have no place to cry.

"Captain, don't worry, we are all fine. Nothing happened. We have all been given the title of governor." Wang Gan said, patting his chest.

Yuan Feng knew of course that they were fine. If something happened, what came back would not be a human being, but ashes.

"You guys are really brave. What else can I say? I advise you to practice every day and strengthen yourselves."

"Don't worry, Captain. We supervise each other every day and don't fall behind in our studies."

"Captain, this is for you."

Yuan Feng looked at the small package in Xiao Rou's hand: "What is this?"

"The seal of the Crown Prince's Guardian, and the title deed to the house in Nandu, the capital of Yan State."

"House deed? The prince's guardian also gave me a house?"

"Of course we divided it up. The gold reward for the captain was also placed in the big house. The house is so big that we almost got lost when we went there."

"Oh?"

That being said, Yuan Feng would have to go and see it if he had the chance.

"Thank you for the surprise, I'm very happy. Let's continue eating and drinking!"

"it is good!"

"Cheers to the Prince Taibao!"

……

We sat down and ate until midnight.

When Yuan Feng returned home, the room was dark and the two girls seemed to be asleep.

I just passed by Zhao Muxin's room and heard that they were still talking inside. They hadn't fallen asleep yet. The two girls were chatting inside at night.

"Sister Jiuer, I'm taking it off."

"Take it off."

"Yeah, it's really grown. It's not the 2.7 feet you told me, it's 2.8 feet."

Yuan Feng listened to the whispers inside and sneered in his heart.

"You're trying to catch me again, I won't be fooled!"

He is now very calm. He goes upstairs, practices, and goes to sleep, all in one go, without being affected by anything at all.

Five days later.

Yuan Feng jumped out from the shadow at the foot of the wall.

I looked at the cloudless sky.

The day finally cleared up and it looked like it wouldn't snow for a few days. It was time to go into the city.

He had finally mastered the art of Shadow Escape and was now able to enter the shadow and move at a jogging pace.

Although there is still a long way to go before he can achieve perfection, there will be no problem for him to sneak in without anyone noticing.

As for the use of the dagger, after many times of practice, he also mastered the technique of using the waist and abdomen to exert force, and was evaluated by the standards of a killer.

His current skills in using a dagger and his level of Shadow Escape make him a qualified killer.

This was not just his fantasy, but something he had confirmed with Chao Yunya. Chao Yunya had worked at Qianying for many years and was an old employee. If he said that Chao Yunya was qualified, then he was definitely qualified.

When I walked into the room, Zhao Muxin was just putting down the book in her hand.

"Mu Xin, help me get a new set of clothes."

"What are you doing with new clothes in the middle of the day?"

"Go into the city, to Ping'an County. Oh, and prepare the tail hair that Xiaoxue cut off."

The last time I went into the city, I was looked down upon because of my shabby clothes. This time, in order to avoid more trouble, I decided to wear new clothes.

After all, clothes make the man, so if you wear something newer, at least you won’t be embarrassed by those who judge people by their appearance.

"Oh, Brother Feng is going to the city, don't forget what you promised."

"I can't forget it. My ears are almost callused from all the nagging you and Jiu'er have been doing these days."

"Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll forget?"

Zhao Muxin walked in, took out new clothes and handed them to Yuan Feng.

After Yuan Feng got dressed, she came over and helped him straighten his collar.

"Brother Feng, be careful on the road, go quickly and come back soon."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. You and Jiu'er stay in the house and don't run around."

"Humph, Xin'er is no longer a child, why would she run around?"

"Haha, let's go."

Yuan Feng picked up the packed package and headed towards Ping'an County.
