At dusk, the lights inside and outside the palace are brightly lit, and people in the palace are constantly passing through, creating a busy scene.

Today is a big day.

The largest tribe in the grassland, the Tanlang Tribe, came to form a marriage alliance. The wolf girl, who was second only to the clan leader in the Tanlang Tribe, married the third prince.

If this happens, the hostility between Jiyun and the grassland side for many years will be alleviated. At the same time, the terminally ill Lord Jiyun will also be able to take advantage of the marriage to rejoice, and may be able to live longer.

Tonight's feast involves a lot, and no one dares to be careless in the slightest, especially the palace servants and maids, who are all on tenterhooks for fear of making mistakes.

All civil and military officials gathered early and gathered in the Jinluan Palace, waiting for the barbarian envoys to enter the palace.

City lords from all walks of life came one after another, bringing precious gifts. The prince was overjoyed, and his superficial skills were well done.

In the main hall, the civil and military ministers each occupy one area. It is obvious that the civil ministers occupy a large area, while the military commanders only occupy a small circle.

If it were in the past, the status of generals was completely suppressed by civil servants. No matter how powerful you were, even if you reached the Jinluan Palace, you would have to sit aside and just follow the civil servants' agreement. There would be basically no chance to interrupt.

Today is different.

The few military generals all held their heads high, their weapons impressive, and full of confidence.

The strangeness of the generals was not to show off to the prairie barbarians, but because of the old general standing at the front.

The old general is over seventy years old, with neither a stoop nor a hunchback. He is tall and energetic, and his eyes are like lightning.

This person is none other than Dongshan City's border commander, General Fan Hu.

Standing next to Fan Hu were several generals who also came from the border, including Chang Qi who had been rescued by Yunji.

It was this group of generals who guarded the border all year round that gave the military generals in the hall a backbone, and for the first time they were able to raise their heads in front of civilian officials.

Although Ji Yun valued literature over martial arts and looked down upon warriors, no one dared to look down upon General Fan Hu.

Because Fan Hu not only guarded the border for decades and killed countless grassland barbarians, he was also a strong man whose cultivation had reached the level of foundation building.

Prime Minister Wang Fu'an, the leader of the ministers, was reminiscing with the old general.

"The general has been stationed at the border for many years. He has worked hard and achieved great results. He must take a good rest before returning to court this time. I have a general stationed at Jiyun border, which should be like a copper wall."

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I'm so grateful. It's my duty to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. As the saying goes, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, let alone an old man like me."

"The general is no ordinary man, but a real old hero."

"Heroes are also afraid of old age. With my old arms and legs, I don't know how many more years I can keep guarding the border for Jiyun. Prime Minister, you need to tighten your grip. The Jiyun family has a great cause and is not afraid of squandering it. What I am afraid of is that there will be no one to follow.

"

"What the general said is absolutely true. The revetment will do its best to contribute to Jiyun."

"In this way, the prime minister will have to work harder. Who makes you the prime minister of a country?"

Fan Hu's voice was like a bell, and his tone was not very satisfied with the prime minister.

Wang Fu'an smiled bitterly. The last thing he wanted to do was deal with this general. He would end up in disgrace every time.

In fact, Wang Fu'an also wanted to change Jiyun's decaying status quo, but it was a pity that he could not do anything alone, and he was determined but powerless. However, what made him feel relieved was that the prince-in-law who was killed today gave him a glimmer of hope to break the situation.

It cannot be destroyed or established. Only by eradicating Jiyun's moths like Prince Consort with thunderous means can Jiyun's vitality be slowly restored.

Otherwise, if the Prince Consort, the Imperial Master, and all the city lords with ulterior motives were allowed to act arbitrarily, Jiyun would have long existed in name only, let alone have no one to follow up.

Some people in the palace shouted that the emperor was coming, and all the ministers knelt down and worshiped.

A soft sedan was carried to the Jinluan Hall, and in the sedan lay the current king of the country, Yun Shang.

Beside the soft sedan, followed by a middle-aged scribe wearing a black robe and a long crown, with a fair face and a short beard, it was Xie Changfeng, the national master.

The sedan fell next to the dragon chair, and several maids took great effort to lift Yun Shang out and leaned on the dragon chair.

Yun Shang is actually not too old, just over sixty, but he is skinny, his eyes are dull, his breath is weak, and he has not much vitality left.

Fan Hu sighed softly when he saw the king.

He could see that the old king's end was near.

Looking at the Imperial Preceptor again, Fan Hu's eyes darkened slightly.

The ministers shouted long live, and then they separated.

There was no color on Yun Shang's face, and his dry lips moved. Without speaking, he reluctantly raised his finger to signal the ministers to stand up and take their seats.

Tonight's wedding banquet will be held in the Jinluan Palace. The tables and chairs have been prepared, waiting for the barbarian wolf girl to enter the palace.

National Preceptor Xie Changfeng walked up to Fan Hu, cupped his hands and said, "General, you are well."

Fan Hu returned the courtesy and said: "The Imperial Master is still so energetic. I wonder if the life-extending pill you made is still effective."

Xie Changfeng smiled and said: "Of course it works. The general can take a look at it himself. Isn't this the king's good behavior?"

Fan Hu almost yelled, how can the old king be praised for his appearance? He was half a step away from death, but he couldn't refute. He couldn't tell the truth. Cursing the king in the Jinluan Palace was a serious crime.

Fan Hu glared at Xie Changfeng and said, "I hope the master's elixir will always be effective."

Wang Fu'an smoothed things over and said: "The Imperial Guard has been busy preparing for this marriage with the grassland. If the marriage goes well, the threat of the Tanlang Department to our Jiyun border will be eliminated in the future, and the border troops will be more relaxed by then."

Fan Hu snorted and said, "It would be nice if it could be easier. I'm afraid some people have evil intentions and are double-dealing."

Fan Hu has always distrusted the Imperial Preceptor. Although it was the imperial edict of the Emperor that brought him back to the court, Fan Hu suspected that the Imperial Preceptor had tampered with it.

As for why he came back, firstly, it was hard to disobey the sacred order. After all, Fan Hu was the general of the border commander Jiyun, so he had to obey the emperor's order. Secondly, the wolf girl entered the pass. Although she didn't bring many wolf riders with her, Fan Hu still refused.

rest assured.

A wolf girl is nothing. What makes Fan Hu fearful is the high-level wolf king, because wherever the wolf girl is, the wolf king must not be far away.

After Wang Fu'an consulted the king for instructions, he issued an order on his behalf, ordering the grassland envoys to enter the temple to meet the saint, and at the same time, the wedding banquet began.

In fact, the wolf girl and her entourage had entered the palace early and were waiting in the side hall, while the accompanying dowry and donated cattle and sheep were waiting outside the palace.

In the side hall, the wolf girl Alando was dressing up in front of the mirror.

The face in the bronze mirror did not have the shyness of a newlywed bride, but a bloodthirsty sneer.

"Jiyun, it's time to change ownership today..."

The wolf girl combed her long hair and whispered to herself.

In addition to a few maids, there was a small group of the most elite wolf riders, only a hundred people, who followed the wolf girl into the palace.

Despite their small number, the combat power of these hundred wolf riders is equivalent to two or three times that of ordinary wolf riders, including Chahan, who almost massacred the Dama tribe.

One hundred wolf riders did not bring their mounts.

Although the demon wolf was nowhere to be seen, there was a flock of sheep outside the palace gate. There were more than two hundred of them at one count.

These sheep are not ordinary sheep, but the wolf girl's dowry. It is said that they are a rare thing unique to the grassland. They are the most delicious fat sheep in the world. The mutton can taste like shrimps and crabs, and you will have endless aftertaste after tasting it.

The sheep were driven by a few people dressed as merchants, led by Feng Hai and Han Song from the Tianmang Chamber of Commerce.

Feng Hai held the shepherd's bell tightly in his sleeves. Due to nervousness, his palms were already sweating. He glanced at the palace gate from time to time, waiting for the summons.

These sheep are going to the palace, so the wolf girl's dowry naturally has to be seen by the old king.

"The sheep have arrived, but the cattle haven't arrived yet. Now that they are entering the palace, what should I do if I delay the president's important event..." Feng Hai was full of worry.

"There is nothing we can do. The time is up and we have no choice." Han Song advised in a low voice. He was also a little confused and was pacing nervously.

"As long as we don't enter the palace, we still have time. We will definitely make it in time..." While Feng Hai was talking to himself, he suddenly looked up and saw a herd of long-haired cows coming one after another at the end of the long street. The person driving the cows was an old acquaintance.

"Here comes the cow! I just said that Boss Yun will keep his promise and will never break his promise!" Feng Hai was so excited that he looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally Boss Yun came.
