Chapter 208 Conferring the title of Wenchang Earl

"Nangong Hou is too polite. It wasn't me who saved you, it was Senior Wuming who saved you. I just brought the resurrection scroll here."

Xiao Fan stepped aside and said.

It's better not to take advantage of my father-in-law. His strength will be exposed sooner or later.

Nangong Jin said: "Xiao Shidu, without your help, even senior Wuming wouldn't be able to come up with the treasure to save me. Senior Wuming has been very kind to me, and so do you, Xiao Shidu."

Qin Zhentian said: "Nangong Hou, you will stay at Xiao Fan's residence for the next few days. You will be weak for a while and you will be safe there."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Nangong Jin said respectfully.

Outside the training room, many of Nangong Jin's personal guards gathered. Their faces showed sadness and anger. Nangong Jin treated them well, but under their protection, Nangong Jin died.

Some of the guards who were a little slack blamed themselves.

If they had set up a large formation, if they had been more vigilant, maybe Nangong Jin wouldn't have been killed by the enemy.

The barrier covering the training room disappeared at this time.

Led by Qin Zhentian, Xiao Fan and the others walked out of the training room. Nangong Jin's personal guards looked at Nangong Jin who came out together in disbelief.

——Nangong Jin is still alive. There is no need to hide this. If you hide the news, what should you do if there is trouble in the Huben Army?

"What are you doing standing still? Haven't you seen His Majesty and His Highness?"

Nangong Jin said in a deep voice.

"Greetings to His Majesty, to His Majesty the Crown Prince!"

Dozens of guards saluted quickly. Some of them were a little suspicious. They had seen Nangong Jin's head missing before.

They can understand the recovery of broken arms and legs, but how can they be resurrected with no head and almost all the blood drained?

"Get flat."

Qin Zhentian said quietly.

A group of guards stood up.

Nangong Jin said: "I was originally dead, but the demigod behind Xiao Fan rescued me. I will go to the Xiao Mansion to recuperate for a while, and you all will return to the military camp."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

All the guards said in unison.

Soon Xiao Fan and the others left, and Qin Zhentian followed them to Xiao Fan's residence first, where formation arrangements were still being made.

The formation layout of the entire mansion involves all aspects, and it will take a month to work on it. However, Xiao Mansion's most basic peripheral defense formation is now in place.

"Unknown senior, junior Nangong Jin, thank you senior for your life-saving grace. Nangong Jin will keep it in his heart and he will be rewarded."

Nangong Jin saluted to the empty space. In his opinion, there was a high probability that the unknown senior was secretly paying attention to them at this moment.

Xiao Fan was speechless.

Nangong Jin calls himself a junior. When he finds out later that he is the so-called unknown senior, Nangong Jin doesn't know what his expression will be.

"Unknown senior, thank you!"

Qin Zhentian also cupped his fists in the air and said.

Nangong Jin is the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the general of the Huben Army. His death will have a great impact on the entire Tianlong Empire.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhenyuan, if Senior Wuming contacts you again, I will convey your gratitude to Senior Wuming at that time."

Xiao Fan said.

Qin Zhentian nodded slightly: "Xiao Fan, your contribution is also great. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"

Although Xiao Fan and Qin Xuan have a close relationship, Qin Zhentian, as the emperor, distinguishes between rewards and punishments, and those who deserve to be rewarded must still be rewarded.

But Qin Zhentian didn't know what to reward him. Xiao Fan was not short of money. After buying the house, Xiao Fan still had 1.8 billion Tianlong coins left.

Xiao Fan also has treasures. Xiao Fan has four imperial weapons and a demigod-level treasure. Xiao Fan cannot use ordinary treasures.

"Your Majesty, will you continue to promote me?"

Xiao Fan coughed lightly and said.

Nangong Jin looked at Xiao Fan with a strange expression. Xiao Fan was already a student of the fourth-grade prince at a young age, and he was still so persistent in being promoted?

Qin Zhentian was not very surprised. Xiao Fan didn't want anything else before, he only wanted to be promoted, but if he was promoted to the third rank, Xiao Fan would be promoted to the third rank.

It's a bit unreasonable that the third grade is still the prince's attendant.

Qin Xuan said at this time: "Father, I think we can give Xiao Fan a title. It is difficult to promote his official position in a short time."

Qin Zhentian's eyes lit up.

He had forgotten this.

The official position cannot be given too high at once, but the title can be given. If Xiao Fan's title is high, he can also get a lot of imperial luck.

"Xiao Fan, although you have no cultivation level, you are proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I will name you Uncle Wenchang, and your hometown Wanyang County will be your fief. You can have a private army of three thousand."

Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.

In the Tianlong Empire, the status of an earl is similar to that of a second-grade official, but if you let others choose, they will definitely choose to become an earl.

Once the official position is gone, it is gone. The title of earl can be hereditary for three generations. After three generations, it will be downgraded, but there is still the title of viscount.

In addition, the earls are divided into those with fiefs and those without fiefs. A county can have three thousand private troops, which is definitely a full complement among the earls.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Fan knelt down and said.

Now he knelt down to Qin Zhentian without feeling any discomfort. Qin Zhentian is Qin Xuan's father, so what's the problem with kneeling down to his father-in-law?

"No need to pay tribute."

Qin Zhentian said, "Xiao Fan, with your merits, you can be directly promoted to Marquis, but our Tianlong Empire has never had a precedent of being directly promoted to Marquis. We will talk about it after you are promoted to Marquis."

"Your Majesty, it would be great to become an earl."

Xiao Fan stood up and smiled.

By becoming an earl, he can get a lot more imperial luck, and his body can also hold more imperial luck.

Besides, becoming an earl also gave him a fief, and he could also have a private army of 3,000 people.

This allows some members of the Death Legion to appear openly.

——Where do the people from the Death Legion come from? Xiao Fan can definitely push it to the demigod behind him. Isn’t it normal for a demigod-level strongman to secretly cultivate some power?

Eight thousand Knights of the Death Legion formed a battle formation together, and their strength was now comparable to that of two general Martial Emperor Perfect level experts.

Three thousand knights of the Death Legion formed a battle formation. Although their strength was not up to the perfection of Emperor Wu, it was adequate in the later stages of Emperor Wu.

"Congratulations to Uncle Wen Chang."

"Uncle Wen Chang, congratulations!"

Nangong Jin Jianggan and the others all smiled and said.

Not long after, both Qin Zhentian and Qin Xuan left, and Nangong Suxin also left with Qin Xuan. Now in the middle of the night, it was not appropriate for Nangong Suxin to stay in Xiao Mansion as the crown prince Liangdi.

Jiang Qian did not leave immediately. What if the demigod behind Xiao Fan was not here? He will stay here for a day or two first.

"Nangong Hou, please stay in this room. This room is spacious and bright. Living here will help you recover."

Xiao Fan arranged.

Now that he is Queen Wu, the entire Xiao Mansion is within the influence of the Zhenfu Monument, and Nangong Jin can be arranged to live in any room.

"Uncle Wen Chang, I'm sorry to disturb you anymore."

Nangong Jin said politely.

Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Marquis Zhenyuan, you're welcome."

Nangong Jin looked at Jiang Gan and then at Xiao Fan. He said with deep meaning in his eyes: "Uncle Wen Chang, do you have a good relationship with Su Xin?"

"Why did Marquis Zhenyuan say this?"

Xiao Fan pretended to be confused.

Nangong Jin smiled lightly and said: "Things like the resurrection scroll are extremely precious, and Uncle Wen Chang is actually willing to let me use them."

Jiang Gan sent a message to Xiao Fan: "Xiao Xiao, he should be suspicious of your relationship with Nangong Suxin. After this incident, I'm afraid the suspicions of some other people will also deepen."

Xiao Fan looked as usual.

So what if the others’ suspicions deepen? As long as there is no evidence, it doesn't matter.

"Marquis Zhenyuan, my relationship with Nangong Liangdi is pretty good."

Xiao Fan smiled slightly.
