Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning

Chapter 66: The Zhao Family is Rehabilitated

After a while, the gate opened wide and a man and a horse rushed out. The man was tall and the horse was big, and the rider was like the Black Tai Sui, which was very frightening to watch.

The man arrived outside the military camp, dismounted, knelt in front of Zhao Guangyi and said, "Your Majesty, I am Cheng Yaojin, and I am sorry for being late in meeting you."

Zhao Guangyi helped Cheng Yaojin up and said, "General Cheng, what crime have you committed? I have fallen into such a state of destitution that I have come to seek refuge with you. I hope you will take me in!"

Cheng Yaojin said in awe, "Your Majesty, I am sorry to trouble this old minister. Please come into the tent and have a chat!"

Zhao Feiyan was skeptical about Cheng Yaojin and followed her father inside. Cheng Yaojin asked, "Your Majesty, who is this young master?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "My dear, this is my daughter. It will be inconvenient to travel with her, so I have to dress her up as a man."

Cheng Yaojin said, "So it's Her Royal Highness the Princess. I'm so sorry!"

Zhao Guangyi looked guilty and said, "Fei Yan, you have been treated coldly by me before and have not been given the title of princess. Today, I will borrow your pen, ink, paper and inkstone to confer the title of Princess Nihuang of Later Tang on Fei Yan."

When Zhao Feiyan heard this, she thought that her cheap father had finally remembered to compensate her and her daughter. There was still hope for such a king. It was a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them!

Cheng Yaojin was also a man of good sense. He immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am General Cheng Yaojin of Jingxi, and I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness Princess Nihuang!"

Zhao Feiyan used mind reading to test Cheng Yaojin and found that his loyalty was not a disguise, which made her feel relieved. She didn't want her father to "escape from the tiger's den and fall into the wolf's lair", so she was so cautious.

However, for Zhao Feiyan, she is not afraid even in the most dangerous places. As a dual-attribute mutant, she can walk sideways in this world. Unless there are cultivators on this continent, it will be difficult for her to meet an opponent of equal strength.

Zhao Feiyan said: "General Cheng, there is no need to be so polite. Let's go to the military tent to discuss matters first!"

Cheng Yaojin ordered his men to welcome Zhao Guangyi and his daughter into the military camp and treated them to a feast of fish and meat. The father and daughter had already run from the palace outside Beijing to the camp in the west of Beijing and were exhausted. Although they had eaten breakfast on the way, they were still tired now.

Zhao Feiyan was young and strong, and in much better condition than Zhao Guangyi. She had suffered all kinds of hardships in the palace.

But Zhao Guangyi was born into a noble family, wearing fine clothes and eating delicious food. After becoming the king, he became even more extravagant. If it weren't for the palace coup, he would have never suffered.

During the time he was imprisoned in the palace outside the capital, Ouyang Lu instructed his cronies to provide Zhao Guangyi with the same standard of food as that of low-ranking soldiers.

The dignified ruler of the Later Tang Dynasty used to eat delicacies from land and sea every day in the palace, but suddenly he fell into the abyss and had to eat simple meals. Every time he ate, it tasted like chewing wax, but in order to survive, he had to swallow with tears.

"My dear, thank you for your hard work. This is the most delicious meal I have had since I was imprisoned by Ouyang Lu."

Cheng Yaojin said with great sorrow, "Your Majesty has humiliated me and I am dying. I was not able to save you in time. I am deeply ashamed. That treacherous minister, Minister Situ, spread a false message saying that Your Majesty was recuperating in the palace outside the capital. My spies only learned yesterday that Your Majesty was imprisoned in the palace by that thief. But without your half piece of military token, Your Majesty, I dare not act on my own."

Zhao Guangyi said, "General Cheng's defense of the camp is the greatest loyalty to the Later Tang Dynasty. Now that I have escaped from danger, you have nothing to worry about. Are you willing to lead the troops back to the capital to help me quell the rebellion in Ouyang Road?"

General Cheng Yaojin of Jingxi said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will gather the troops and be on standby at any time to fight back to the capital with Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
