Chapter 57: Wu Hou Shen Zhui! (Final chapter of this volume)

"The imperial court's decree of reward has arrived?!" Shen Zhui immediately rushed out of the secret room and appeared next to Yu Ziqi.

At this moment, many generals from Shenwei Mansion were gathered in the hall.

"Why, why so fast?!" Shen Zhui was also a little excited.

Although the rewards for the previous school captains and captains were coming one after another, when it came to the appointment of Wuhou, this was a big event.

The position of prince should not be granted lightly, they must be the last batch.

If you want to complete these procedures completely, it will take at least ten and a half months, or even a month.

Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, the decree has arrived.

"Sir, this is a great victory. The vassal states were opened up and the victory was achieved by using troops to conquer foreign countries. Of course, there will be no obstacles."

"Wu'an Hou's killing of the true god has proved his ability to be crowned king. In this way, all the six departments are of course very convenient. No one will embarrass Wu'an Hou at this juncture." Yu Ziqi said with a smile. "Now that the decree has been issued, there is basically no suspense. After entering the capital, the face-to-face meeting is completed, and the ceremony is performed, the corresponding physical rewards will be issued. Now we are just confirming the titles."

Shen Zhui rubbed his hands and nodded heavily.

In the past few years, the whole country was unhappy with the destruction of the ancestral temple and the abandonment of the temple. The court was in urgent need of a big victory to cheer up people. And what Wu Anhou did was not only a great achievement, but also in line with the wishes of the imperial court.

As the saying goes, civil affairs and martial arts are the most important thing for a monarch, and it is also the matter that all civil and military officials care about.

In the past three hundred years, there have been many scenes of prosperity in martial arts, but 'martial arts' has been a bit dull.

Of course, there is very little resistance in this big victory now, and few people are in trouble.

"Let's go to the Heart Palace!" Shen Zhui immediately put on the Zhou Dynasty military commander's worship attire and led a group of personal guards to the Heart Palace.

…………

Heart Palace.

A new map of the Jiuyou Mountains hangs high in the hall, with mountains and rivers on it. Lines circle the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including the raging Canglan River.

"Buzz~" Suddenly a strong wind blew on the map, and the miniature scene became blurred. A military boot stepped out from the map, and then a majestic figure appeared in the main hall.

"The body of the true god, the land of law."

"Once you become king, it seems like a thousand years..." The stalwart figure sighed with emotion.

This person is not Wu'an Hou Zhao Xing, who is he?

Zhao Xing, who came out of seclusion, swept his mind and immediately discovered many reports lying on the desk.

"Wow~" The holy pages slid one after another, were quickly processed, floated on their own, and were sent to their destination.

Among them, a special letter fell out of this pile.

"Huh?" Feeling the familiar aura above, Zhao Xing's eyes narrowed and he immediately grabbed the letter.

Time passed and space changed in his eyes. After a moment, Zhao Xing snorted and threw the letter away.

"Whoops~" It was obvious that he didn't use much force, but the envelope broke through the solid space in the heart palace, fell directly into the turbulent flow of space, and then spread thousands of miles away.

Looking in a certain direction, Zhao Xing stared for a while and then ignored it.

"Young man, I am overly cautious. Do you think that if I become the king, I will kill the rabbit and the dog will cook, and the bird will be hidden? To think that I am really looking for a fight." Xin Zhao chuckled lightly and shook his head.

"But this matter is really tricky..."

…………

Dayuan Mansion, a palace in the Liang Kingdom.

A middle-aged man in casual clothes was fishing in front of the artificial lake.

This opened lake is filled with spiritual energy, like a blessed land.

Although the lake surface is calm, there are extremely terrifying auras emerging from under the lake surface from time to time. Obviously, there are not many fish and shrimps in this lake.

"Wow~" The calm lake water suddenly surged, and the space shook.

A letter broke through the space and went straight to the head of the middle-aged man fishing.

A letter can travel at such a high speed, spanning thousands of miles, and still break through space. It is enough to show that its power is extraordinary. If it is hit by this golden broken blade, even the sixth-level magic weapon will be divided into two halves.

Seeing the golden envelope getting closer and closer to the middle-aged man, the man seemed not to notice it and was still looking at the lake, concentrating on it.

When the envelope was only one foot away from the middle-aged man, it seemed that all his strength had been exhausted and he could no longer get closer.

It's just that the buzzing, high-speed letter still refused to give up even when it was imprisoned like a folded space, and it was approaching the middle-aged man's head bit by bit.

When the envelope was only a finger's width away from the middle-aged man, the latter finally showed a look of surprise. Somewhat unexpectedly, I came back to my senses from fishing.

Looking at the letter, Xia Wudao reached out and picked up the letter with one finger.

"Pa~" The space was disillusioned, and a dark hole appeared at the fingertips. Space cracks were born from this black hole. The terrifying space rules overflowed in an instant and were about to sweep across the entire lake.

"Woo~" Under the lake, many ferocious beasts were so frightened that they ran around, whining sounds kept coming, but they were too afraid to make too much noise.

"Hmph!" Xia Wudao snorted coldly, a surge of momentum emerged from his body, and the entire lake suddenly became quiet and calm. And the black hole slowly disappeared.

"Bounce~" a clear sound came, and the fishing rod and line suddenly shattered into powder.

Looking at the many huge corpses gradually floating on the lake.

Prince Liang's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate!"

"You have prevented me from being crowned king for two hundred years, and today I will kill you two thousand times in the spirit lake!"

The sound gradually faded away, and the remaining power disappeared completely.

The number of 'bodies' slowly turning white on the lake was no more than two thousand.

"Zhao Xing..." King Liang's face returned to calmness and he whispered.

"Poof~" A flame ignited from the letter, and the flames engulfed the outer shell, slowly revealing the blank paper inside.

…………

When Shen Zhui arrived at the Heart Palace, he saw a familiar figure.

The great inspector, Long Xiao!

Next to Long Xiao were the three Wuhou!

At the same time, there were many figures in the main hall, all of them were at the Venerable level or above.

Even the people from the Qingzhou Army and the Jizhou Army are here.

Que Feihu, Lan Chenguang, Kong Yangzhou...

Familiar figures were all waiting excitedly and repressedly.

At the lower left of the main hall, Lu Yuanwei waved to Shen Zhui.

Shen Zhui went over immediately. Originally, he wanted to stand under his master Lu Yuanwei, but he never thought that Lu Yuanwei smiled and pulled Shen Zhui to the first place on the lower left.

"Master, this..." Shen Zhui was a little scared.

"General Shen, you are number one in the military merit list. This is where you should stand." Que Hu on the side also smiled kindly.

The rest of the people also looked at Shen Zhui with envy or admiration.

When Shen Zhui saw this, he no longer refused. He cupped his hands in all directions and stood at the first position on the lower left.

Not long after, everyone had arrived and the hall gradually became quiet.

After waiting for a while, the first auspicious moment arrived.

The chief inspector, Long Xiao, began to shout loudly.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Wow~ All the soldiers in the hall knelt down. Even the three Wuhou were no exception.

"My lord, accept the order!"

"The officers and soldiers of the three armies fought bloody battles, cleared the borders, and conquered foreign lands. They opened up territory for the Zhou Dynasty and made immortal contributions..."

"Specially discuss meritorious deeds and reward them to show their loyalty."

"Everyone with a military merit list of less than 10,000 will be promoted one level."

"Within one thousand, all officers will be promoted by two levels."

"Within 100, the official will be promoted to three levels."

"..."

The majestic voice echoed in the hall, and most people showed happy expressions.

Although I had known for a long time that the reward was impressive, when it actually arrived, I still couldn't hide it.

That's just the gimmick, though.

As usual, the following large-scale reward process is very short. It just draws out a range and promotes promotions without specifically naming names.

Only the roll call of the feudal lords is the highlight!

After a while, the sound of awarding the reward paused slightly.

All the soldiers below all kowtowed and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

After a pause, the second edict began.

"Lan Chenguang, formerly of the Qingzhou Army, was promoted from General Fenyong to General Anguo."

"Pei Yan of the Jizhou Army was promoted from General Yongwu to General Zhaoxin. He enjoyed the title of first-class earl and a fief of 5,000 acres."

"Wu'an Army Kongyang Prefecture was promoted from a brave general to a brave general. He enjoyed the first-class earl and a fief of 5,000 acres."

"Jizhou Army Dou Jianming was promoted to General of the Four Seas..."

There were sounds of awarding awards one after another. This time, all the generals started from "brave" and jumped up a level, and they all started at least as a third-class earl. The highest is the First Earl.

This point is basically the limit of most soldiers' lifetimes.

Further up, there is the title of Marquis. The probability is too low. In the past two hundred years, there may not be ten.

"My lord, thank you for your holy grace!"

After a moment, the third imperial edict appeared!

Everyone's breathing became rapid, because this third imperial edict was to determine the quota of Wuhou and the title of canonization!

How many places are there, and who will be awarded the title of Marquis of Wu?

This is an unknown number, because no one knows how the court will choose. Military merit alone is not the only indicator, there are many factors to consider.

"Boom~" Shen Zhui felt his heartbeat speed up and his breathing become rapid.

But soon, he calmed down.

Ranked first in the military merit list, and with his wealth placed here, if he can't even be granted the title of Marquis, he may have trouble convincing the public.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhui calmed down again.

"Wow~" A golden light shrouded the top of his head and landed on Que Hu's head.

Que Hu looked excited, his whole body was enveloped by the golden light, and was coated with a layer of majestic aura.

Although he is only at the eighth level of supernatural power, Quehu is like a true god at this moment, sacred and inviolable, giving people a terrifying aura.

"The Jizhou Army defeated the tiger and made outstanding military exploits. In the battle of the boundary, they killed countless enemies and destroyed many leaders of foreign sects. Their command was meritorious. The Jizhou Army suffered the lowest losses in battles west of the Canglan River. Later, they fought bravely to kill the enemy in the critical area. , made great military exploits, and finally ranked second in the military merit list."

"To show his merit, he is specially named...the Marquis of Wisdom and Trust!"

Zhixinhou!

The first new Wuhou was born!

No one was surprised by this. Although Que Hu did not sacrifice his life as generously as Lan Hai, nor did he kill the ninth level with one sword like Lu Yuanwei, which attracted the true god to take action.

However, in the western theater where it was located, the Jizhou Army suffered the lowest casualties. It fought steadily and commanded well. In the end, it was the Jizhou Army that gained the most in the fate battle below the Venerable level.

Unlike the Eastern War Zone on the Wu'an Army side, there are suspicions of greed for credit and rash advancement. Although the credit is great, the casualties are also high. The same goes for the Qingzhou Army.

In the critical land, there are also many enemies killed by tigers. He is an eighth-level venerable, and his final combat achievements are ranked second, all because of the existence of a freak like Shen Zhui. Moreover, the gap in military merit between the two is actually extremely large.

As for the title of Zhixin Hou, I think it was established by the center based on his past achievements and combat style.

"My lord, accept the imperial edict!" Que Hu bowed again and then respectfully accepted the imperial edict.

There are six major seals on the imperial edict, as well as the central seal and the private seal of the emperor.

As long as you go to the capital later, ask for sacrifices, announce it, and add the jade seal, all the procedures will be completed.

But now, there is no difference from the real Marquis Wu.

Everyone continued to kneel down, but there was no sound from above.

Shen Zhui's heart skipped a beat, could this be the end of the title of Marquis?

It shouldn’t be!

Apart from himself, those who are eligible to be granted the title of Marquis, Lu Yuanwei and Xia Feihu, all have a chance.

There is no way there is just such a Wuhou!

After waiting for a moment, Long Xiao's voice finally came again.

"Qingzhou Army, Lan Hai listens!"

"Coax~" There was a commotion in the palace.

Lan Hai was actually granted the title of Marquis!

It was impossible for the imperial court to confer the title of Marquis of Wu to a dead person. At most, it would add an ordinary marquis.

And now that it appears here, that means...

"Your Majesty, take the decree!" A confused and excited voice emerged from that special imperial decree.

The golden light on the imperial edict is far richer than the previous one.

But when everyone couldn't help but observe with their spiritual thoughts, they found that the golden light quickly dimmed a lot.

Most of them are concentrated on a vague outline Zheng

"really!"

"It's reversal of time and space!"

"The imperial court used its supreme means to reverse time and space and resurrected General Lan!"

"I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to encounter this scene!"

"How powerful is the divine grace!"

"..."

Lan Hai's figure, completely solidified, jumped out from the golden light, knelt on the ground, and happened to land next to Shen Zhui.

Shen Zhui was also filled with emotion.

His holy words of healing are just for bringing the dead back to life, and have an effect on the realm of supernatural powers. But for the Venerable, if the soul is seriously injured, it will have no effect at all.

But now, Lan Hai has clearly been wiped out, but now he appears here intact. Even his cultivation is at the ninth level of the Venerable. It is really amazing!

"The blue sea of ​​the Qingzhou Army served the country loyally and made outstanding achievements many times. In the battle of the realm, it destroyed many sects' teleportation arrays and cut off their logistics. They fought for the critical land and killed countless enemies. They died for their comrades. Their loyalty is commendable and the land is precious. Take a look!"

"In order to show his merits, he is specially awarded...the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness!"

The sound fell, the golden light fell, and Lan Hai couldn't help but get wet in his eyes.

In fact, he had passed the age threshold for the title of Marquis and was already dead. Unexpectedly, in the end, the court resurrected him and made him a Marquis of Wu!

"My lord, accept the edict!" Lan Hai received the edict in a trembling voice.

Seeing this scene, the superior Shenjian Hou also showed a relieved smile.

In order to save his younger brother, he lost his arm in the battle between the true gods!

Although it was Marquis Wu An who killed the Wolf King in the end, it was him who paid a huge price and dragged the Wolf King to death at the expense of both sides!

Such painstaking efforts have indeed paid off.

The imperial court gave Lan Hai a chance to resurrect, and at the same time granted him the title of Lord of Loyalty, which could be regarded as a complete solution to Lin Di's heart knot!

Loyalty! Both loyal and righteous!

No one has any objections to this account ban.

During the Lanhai War, he broke the mirror, entered the ninth level of the Venerable, and even killed a ninth-level Venerable. However, Lu Yuanwei was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and he and Que Hu were his assistants. He was not arrogant and even behaved as before. Block the gun for Lu Yuanwei. Everyone is watching.

Now that he is resurrected and granted the title of marquis, his merits can be regarded as complete.

"Lu Yuanwei accepts the order!" Long Xiao's voice sounded again.

Everyone was excited.

The third Wuhou!

As for Xia Feihu, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

The second, third and fourth ranks in the military merit list were all sealed, but he was fifth.

There is now the third Wuhou, and the number becomes smaller as the number goes up.

A battle with the four Wuhou is the limit. Can I defeat Shen Zhui?

"Wu'an Army Lu Yuanwei is extremely talented, has great military exploits, and is both civil and military..."

"To show your merit, I am sending you a special letter!"

"My lord, accept the edict!" Lu Yuanwei respectfully accepted the edict.

The fourth Marquis Wu is Marquis Wenxin!

Marquis Wu is both a title and a military rank.

If one is under Wuhou, the title with the word "wei" is basically the highest level in recognition of his military power.

Secondly, there is the title of ‘Five Virtues’, namely Yan Yong Wu Zhi Xin.

But Wuhou is different. The five virtues are ranked first.

Those who can carry the five virtues in the title of Wuhou are already regarded as respected, and there is an additional word. It means that Wuhou has a certain respected status among civil servants.

This is why Lu Yuanwei has cultivated the divine power of the Holy Word to an extremely high level before he can be recognized by civil officials and receive a letter of honor!

When Long Xiao took out the fourth imperial edict. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com

Everyone was excited.

Four Wuhou! Who will be this fourth Wuhou? Xia Feihu or Shen Zhui? Everyone has one heart. Xia Feihu is from Prince Liang's palace, while Shen Zhui is from Zhao Xin.Both of them have many supporters. If there is one more Wuhou in the Wu'an army, Shen Zhui and Xia Feihu will have two completely different influences in Zhao State in the future. “Shen Zhui receives the order!” The waiting time did not last long. A golden light shrouded Shen Chai's head. Xia Feihu's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched, and his head was lowered. "I, accept the order!" Shen Zhui respectfully allowed the golden light to scan him. "Wu'an Army Shen Zhui, extremely talented, lurked in the Jiuyou Realm, and made the first contribution to the battle in the realm. Later, they destroyed the mountain and sea entrance formations, and killed several venerables under the battle flags of the three sects, destroying the Youming City. He was trapped, and the poison of the Wolf King was cured, and countless people were alive." "Excellent military exploits, bravely championing the three armies." "To show his merits, I am specially named..." "Championship candidate!" "Coax~" The whole hall suddenly shook!
