With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel
Chapter 45 Raising troops to prosecute?
Lu Yan was stunned when he heard this. Was he rewarded for taming the barbarians?
Did you really give me a promotion?
He's still the prefect! This is a great thing!
No matter what the reason is, the right thing to do is to get promoted!
He suppressed his inner ecstasy and kowtowed to express his gratitude:
"My lord, thank you Lord for your kindness!"
After the decree was announced, the entire Shannan County was in an uproar.
The people sang and danced to celebrate this great day.
Being promoted from a county to a prefecture is a great joyful event!
Lu Yan pretended to be calm on the surface, but he was actually very happy inside.
He immediately gave orders to prepare a grand banquet.
Invite the entire city to a banquet and celebrate this glorious moment together.
Inside the county government office, Lu Yan looked at the mountain of gifts and couldn't stop smiling.
"Sir, this promotion is truly a great thing!"
"Now our Shannan Prefecture is going to reach a new level!"
"Of course!" Lu Yan fanned himself proudly.
"This prefect wants to make Shannan Prefecture the richest place in the Datong Dynasty!"
"Your Excellency is wise!" The lawyer quickly flattered him.
Lu Yan was filled with emotion.
It’s not easy to go from an unknown county magistrate to where I am today!
However, this is not enough!
His target is not just a small prefect!
Just as he was immersed in joy, a guard came hurriedly to report:
"Sir, Princess Mingyue of Beixiang Kingdom requests an audience!"
Lu Yan almost spit out the wine in his mouth.
Princess Mingyue?
Why is this woman here?
Although he had met Princess Mingyue several times before, this woman was willful and capricious.
She always acted superior, which gave him a headache.
Could it be that he is here to call for punishment?
After all, he had teased her severely before.
Lu Yan touched his chin, wondering why Princess Mingyue came.
This unruly princess never comes to visit for no reason. She must have something bad to say.
While he was pondering, he ordered his servants to serve good tea and snacks. After all, he still had to do enough work to save face.
Soon, Princess Mingyue came in gracefully, surrounded by a group of maids.
She was wearing a goose yellow palace dress today.
Her skin is whiter than snow, her eyes are bright and her teeth are white, making her look like a pretty and charming beauty.
It was just that the slightly raised eyebrows carried a hint of barely perceptible arrogance.
"Master Lu, how are you?"
Princess Mingyue's voice was clear and pleasant, but it carried a hint of sarcasm.
Lu Yan stood up and bowed with a forced smile:
"I didn't know the princess was coming. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you."
Princess Mingyue naturally heard the hidden meaning in his words.
His expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
She snorted lightly, walked straight to the main seat and sat down, then said slowly:
"This princess came here to congratulate Lord Lu on his promotion, and secondly..."
She paused, and her beautiful eyes swept over Lu Yan with a hint of provocation.
"Secondly, I came to ask for an explanation."
Lu Yan thought to himself:
Here they come! Sure enough, they’re here to settle the score! He pretended to be bewildered:
"Explanation? I wonder what the princess is referring to?"
"Hmph! Lord Lu, you are so forgetful. Have you forgotten how you teased me before?"
When Princess Mingyue said the word "tease", her tone became more serious and her pretty face turned slightly red.
Lu Yan laughed secretly in his heart, this little girl still holds a grudge!
He pretended to be surprised and said:
"Princess, you are wrong. How dare this humble servant tease you?"
"It was just a joke on the princess."
"A joke? You..."
Princess Mingyue was so angry that her eyebrows raised and she was about to explode.
But he suddenly remembered Lu Yan's current identity and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and put on a smile:
"Lord Lu is right. This princess is overly sensitive."
Looking at Princess Mingyue's forced smile.
Lu Yan felt secretly happy in his heart. This little girl also has her moments of being humiliated!
He stopped teasing her and said seriously:
"Princess, you have come a long way and must be exhausted. Why don't you rest for a while? I will host a banquet to welcome you tonight."
Princess Mingyue nodded, agreeing.
At the dinner, Princess Mingyue raised her glass frequently and toasted Lu Yan.
She originally wanted to use the alcohol to make Lu Yan say some true words.
But I didn't expect Lu Yan to have such an amazing alcohol tolerance.
After a few drinks, she remained calm and seemed to be a little tipsy.
"Master Lu, you are truly a remarkable person."
Princess Mingyue's eyes were blurred and her tone became much softer.
"This princess has never seen anyone like you."
"Oh? What do you mean, Princess?"
Lu Yan asked with interest.
"You... you are extremely courageous and intelligent. Even a difficult task like subduing the barbarians can be easily solved..."
Princess Mingyue's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into almost a murmur.
Lu Yan looked at her shy appearance.
My heart moved. Could it be that this little girl has fallen in love with me?
He raised a wicked smile, approached Princess Mingyue, and whispered:
"Princess, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary person who got a little luckier."
Princess Mingyue felt his hot breath and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
She subconsciously dodged backwards, but he grabbed her wrist.
"Princess, you are drunk."
Lu Yan's voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of temptation.
Princess Mingyue's cheeks turned even redder.
She wanted to break free from his hand, but found that she had no strength at all.
"Lu... Lord Lu, you... you let me go..."
Princess Mingyue panted softly, her eyes moving.
Lu Yan only felt that the place where his fingertips touched was warm, soft and smooth.
A strange electric current ran through my body.
Just when I was about to explore this intoxicating spring scenery further.
A guard ran in in a panic and whispered something in Lu Yan's ear.
Lu Yan's face suddenly changed, and most of the drunkenness dissipated in an instant.
He shook off Princess Mingyue's hand with such force that she sobered up.
"An envoy from Beixiang Kingdom? Bringing a large number of gifts?"
Lu Yan frowned, secretly cursing the damn timing.
He originally planned to take advantage of Princess Mingyue being drunk.
Let's "interrogate" her about the real purpose of her trip.
Maybe I could get some information about Beixiang Kingdom, but now it’s all gone!
"What do they want to do?"
The guard answered cautiously:
"Sir, the envoy from Beixiang said that their king wants to discuss the affairs of the barbarian land with you."
"Discuss? I think they're here to call for justice!"
Lu Yan sneered, and the barbarians surrendered to Datong.
Beixiang State has been eyeing us covetously for a long time, and sending envoys now must have ulterior motives.
"Let them in!"
Soon, the envoys from Beixiang State were brought into the county government office.
The leading envoy was tall and had a full beard, looking like a ferocious tiger.
He first bowed deeply to Princess Mingyue,
"Your Highness, the King is concerned about your safety and has ordered his subjects to escort you back to the country. Please do not linger here."
