Chapter 227 A Good Father
Looking at Murong Chang's enthusiastic and slightly flattering attitude, Shen Changgong became increasingly confused about what he meant. Shouldn't he resent himself?
Does he want to be the leader of the martial arts world?
So he came here with so many bags, hoping to curry favor with me and get my support?
Murong Chang smiled, sighed, and said,
"Your Highness, don't worry. I came here just to pay you a visit. My son has been naughty since he was young, and I have neglected to discipline him. He also comes from the underworld and has not been bound by too many rules and regulations.
I am worried about him, as he was acting rebelliously in the army, breaking military law and angering the prince."
"No, Master Murong, no, he is now General Murong. He is doing very well. He is practicing martial arts and learning military tactics in the army. He is under my command and is directly under my jurisdiction. He is doing very well. Patriarch Murong does not need to worry."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Murong Chang said with a smile,
"This kid is just naughty. Your Highness, you should spank him and scold him. If he doesn't obey, just whip him. Don't feel sorry for him. Also... I hope Your Highness will treat him better. He's my only son...
In the underworld of Dayan, as long as the prince needs something, he can just give the order and my Murong family will obey.
Your Majesty, if this boy ever breaks the military law, as long as it's not a heinous crime punishable by death, please show some respect to the Murong family of Dayan and spare his life. Let him roll back and I will personally whip him and teach him a lesson."
"Hey, Dad, why are you saying this?"
Murong Yi said anxiously.
Hearing this, Shen Changgong smiled. He finally understood why Murong Chang came here.
Thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence: Be nice to him.
"Master Murong, rest assured. In the army, including me, everyone is treated equally. As long as he doesn't commit a crime punishable by beheading, I won't drive him away. He is very good and obedient. I believe he will make great contributions on the battlefield and be awarded a title of nobility and a general."
"That's good, that's good. I'll take my leave now. Your Highness, please be busy."
"Master Murong, take care."
"No need to send me off, just sit down."
Murong Chang asked someone to put down the gift and left with a smile.
Murong Yi was very angry. He looked at the gifts on the ground and said to Shen Changgong,
"Your Highness, my father was not like this before. I never thought that he would become such a flatterer now."
Shen Changgong looked at him in surprise and snorted coldly,
"You said such outrageous words that I want to spank you."
"Ok?"
Murong Yi was shocked.
Su Wuan smiled and said,
"Murong, you have a good father."
"Just him? Not so bad? He just beat me up and now he's trying to bribe and flatter the prince. He really wants to ruin my future."
"shut up!"
Shen Changgong shouted unhappily,
"You simply don't understand your father's good intentions. Did your father come to see me for himself? He came for you!
No one knows a son better than his father. He knows you too well.
He knew that after he beat you up, you would definitely come back to complain. He was worried that this incident would make the king prejudiced against you, so he only took a quarter of an hour to hurriedly prepare so many gifts and come to meet the king.
This is how the people of the underworld and the common people handle things. They bring gifts, visit people in person, lower their posture and make their attitude clear.
He is such a proud man, but for you, he is willing to become a flatterer, with a fawning smile on his face, and lower his posture to flatter a young man like me. Haven't you seen how much sacrifice he has made?
He said so much, flattering me and belittling you. He didn't do this to give you a bright future, but at least to save your life and prevent me from having any prejudice against you and your family.
To put it bluntly, it means putting aside your dignity to clean up your mess.
Every word he said was to make me treat you better.
No one in this world has the right to scold him except you. He is a good father."
After hearing Shen Changgong's words, Murong Yi was stunned and stared blankly outside the tent, feeling both warm and sad in his heart.
He misunderstood what his father meant, and he simply couldn't see what his father had done for him.
Tears filled his eyes and his heart was filled with endless emotion.
Su Wuan came over, patted his shoulder and said,
"Your father beat you because he was afraid you would die on the battlefield. He knew that the battlefield was different from the martial arts world. There were tens of thousands of people fighting each other. Even the best martial arts skills were just icing on the cake. If you weren't careful, you would die. That's why he beat you in a rage.
But he also knew that once you join the army, you can't leave easily, otherwise you will violate military law, so he hurried over to make amends for you.
"Well, I see."
Murong Yi nodded.
Shen Changgong said without raising his head,
"Murong Yi, collect all the gifts your father sent you and bring them back to your own military tent. You can deal with them as you wish."
"Ah? Your Majesty, this is a gift from my father."
"I accept his gift, which means I understand his intention and accept his kindness. But I cannot really accept bribes, so these things are given to you. What belongs to your father is yours. Take it."
"But……"
Murong Yi wanted to speak, but Su Wuan patted him and whispered,
"Shut up, the prince needs this little thing? For this little thing, you want the prince to bear the crime of bribery? Are you so ignorant?
Come on, I'll take it with you."
As they were talking, Su Wuan and Murong Yi went out together with the gifts.
Shen Changgong looked at them, suddenly shook his head and smiled, and said to Tu Que Ling,
"I suddenly remembered that when Gongsun Wan'er first came to my house and took me away, my father was so anxious that he wanted to cry. He emptied our family's savings to buy my life, but I was still captured and thrown into that Shura Field.
Alas, being a father is not easy."
Tu Que Ling immediately said,
"When we get back, I'll beat up Gongsun Wan'er for you."
"No, I'll beat her myself."
Shen Changgong laughed. Tu Que Ling and Gongsun Wan'er were really enemies. They would fight each other even when they didn't meet.
At night, Zuo Sanhe, the master of the Ichōfu sword, came again and said,
"Your Highness, Master Li has arrived. Hearing that you wished to see him, he has prepared a banquet in his courtyard. Please come and join us."
Shen Changgong sneered when he heard this.
"This Li Xuan is so arrogant, he even wants me to meet him?"
Zuo Sanhe said quickly,
"Your Highness, he's also concerned about his own safety. After all, you're a soldier, and he's a bandit. Of course, he's not a bandit, but in the eyes of the court, people in the underworld are no different from bandits.
You have so many experts and a large army surrounding you, so he's worried that you might harm him."
"Then if I go to his place, I won't worry about him harming me?"
"Uh... Master Li is a gentleman and would never do such a thing."
"Hmph, a gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried. Since I am a villain in his eyes, let me go to visit the gentleman. Lead the way."
