If I send you to join the army and marry a woman, will you conquer the Empress?

If the previous "shooting the halberd at the gate" was the ultimate display of military prowess, then...

Then this moment is a magnificent masterpiece of literary talent and lofty aspirations!

How can a true man not take up arms to reclaim the vast lands that have been invaded by the enemy?!

What lofty ambitions!

The people around may not understand the rules of poetry, but they can understand the bold and unrestrained spirit expressed in this poem!

In an instant, a spark of excitement ignited in the eyes of many.

Li Hu was even more excited. Although he didn't quite understand the specific meaning, he just felt it was awesome and his whole body was full of power!

"good!"

"Well said!"

It's unclear who was the first to shout it out.

Immediately afterwards, cheers rose and fell like a tide, echoing throughout the entire long street!

"What a magnificent 'conquering fifty states beyond the passes'! This is the spirit of the men of our Great Xia!"

"No wonder he's the son of the Loyal and Valiant Marquis! Like father, like son!"

"I take back what I just said. Young Master Qin is no fool; he is a descendant of the Great Xia, a future Grand General and Grand Marshal!"

The crowd's emotions were completely ignited.

The way they looked at Qin Feng had changed from awe to fanatical worship!

The one who reacted the most was none other than Young Master Xia.

She stood there, stunned, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

Born into royalty, she was well-versed in literature from a young age and had read countless masterpieces.

But no poem could move her so deeply!

"Brother Qin, whose great poet wrote such exquisite lines? Why have I never heard of them before?" she couldn't help but ask.

In her mind, someone who could write such verses must be a renowned scholar or a seasoned veteran.

"Brother Xia, you flatter me."

Qin Feng smiled faintly: "It was just something I felt compelled to say."

What?!

Young Master Xia was stunned once again.

Her beautiful face was filled with disbelief.

This...this poem, did he write it himself?

Moreover, he possessed archery skills that were so superb that even General Li Guang could not match them!

A man of both literary and martial talents!

This word came to mind.

I've struck gold!

This trip out of the palace was definitely the right decision!

The Emperor was always worried about the factions in the court and the lack of talent, and wanted to recruit true pillars of the state for the Great Xia.

And isn't Qin Feng, the man standing before me, the very person I've been looking for?

If we can be used by the Great Xia, why worry about the country's prosperity?

A thought began to grow wildly in her mind.

This person must be recruited into our ranks!

"Brother Qin's talent is astounding; I, Xia, am utterly impressed!"

She praised it from the bottom of her heart.

Become!

Seeing her like this, he knew that his display of divine power had completely intimidated her.

Qin Feng laughed heartily: "Brother Xia, I see you are also a man of strong character, bold and unrestrained. We hit it off immediately, so why don't we—"

"Not as good as what?" she asked curiously.

"How about we become sworn brothers?" Qin Feng said, surprising everyone.

To become sworn brothers?

Young Master Xia was taken aback at first, and then a feeling of unprecedented novelty welled up in his heart.

Having grown up in the inner palace, she was accustomed to the intrigue and deceit, and to those who wore masks and would stop at nothing for power and status.

Everyone who sees her either feels awe, fawns over her, or tries to curry favor with her.

No one has ever proposed to become sworn siblings with her in such an equal manner as Qin Feng!

This feeling... is very interesting!

friend!

Perhaps this is what my father often referred to as true friends outside the palace walls.

"good!"

She almost blurted out that she was about to agree.

"Young master, you mustn't!"

A sudden, urgent cry of surprise came from the side.

Suddenly, Commander Lü, who had been silent all along, rushed forward and stood between Young Master Xia and Qin Feng.

"Young master, your status is so noble, how can you become sworn brothers with a commoner from the streets? What kind of image would this have if word got out..."

"Commander Lü!"

Young Master Xia's face darkened, his phoenix eyes glared, and he said coldly, "Is it any of your business to object to my friendship with Brother Qin? Or are you now daring to disobey my orders?"

The oppressive aura emanating from that superior made Commander Lü break out in a cold sweat, realizing that he had overstepped his bounds in his haste.

"Your subordinate... dares not!"

Commander Lü knelt down on one knee with a thud.

"snort!"

Young Master Xia snorted coldly, ignoring him, and looked at Qin Feng again, a bright smile instantly blooming on his face.

"Brother Qin, please excuse my foolishness. My bodyguard is just a blockhead."

"I agree to your suggestion!"

She stretched out her hand and declared with boundless pride, "From this day forward, you are my... my sworn brother!"

"Ha ha!"

Qin Feng was overjoyed.

They've latched onto a powerful figure!

This is so much better than being a royal guard instructor!

"Today, we swear brotherhood, not that we were born on the same day, month, and year, but that we will die on the same day, month, and year!"

Qin Feng took the lead and shouted out the classic line from the sworn brotherhood ceremony.

"I don't ask for... but I do ask for..."

Young Master Xia followed along, but suddenly realized that the vow sounded a bit like a wedding vow, and he immediately felt awkward, lowering his voice considerably.

"The ceremony is complete! From this day forward, we are brothers! We'll share joys and sorrows!"

Qin Feng opened his arms wide and gave "Brother Xia" beside him a tight hug.

When Qin Feng's chest pressed against the other's body, an amazing softness and elasticity instantly transmitted through the thin clothing.

Good guy!

Qin Feng was deeply shocked.

This scale is definitely not much smaller than that of my sister-in-law, Bai Wanqing!

He's a master of disguise!

……

at the same time.

A faint, orchid-like fragrance also entered his nostrils.

The scent is very faint, not like a deliberately applied fragrance, but more like a natural body odor.

Qin Feng couldn't help but lean close to her ear and blurted out something without thinking:

"Brother Xia, you smell so good!"
