As soon as the words of Baichao Zhan came out, there was a sudden silence in the court, and no one spoke.
The flickering light was flickering in Taifu's eyes. After thinking about it, he finally stepped back.
With Emperor Liu's arrangement, Su Chen will definitely participate in the Hundred Dynasties War. Thinking of Su Chen's strength and his performance in that place, even if he is not given such a high official position now, he will be promoted to it when the time comes.
Of course, the more important thing is that gaining an advantage in the Hundred Dynasties War will bring inestimable benefits to them.
After talking about it to this point, naturally no one is stupid enough to sing the opposite.
The matter of awarding Su Chen a reward was finalized, and the morning meeting passed in a flurry of trivial matters.
…
About an hour after the early morning retreat, a white dove rushed into the courtyard of the Huang family with fluttering wings.
After a while, the pigeon flapped its wings and flew away again.
In the courtyard, Huang Shizheng sat under a pavilion built with ivy, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
After reading the above content, Huang Shizheng suddenly seemed to have entered his twilight years, lying completely on the wicker chair and sighing heavily.
"well……"
Just at this moment, Huang Yicheng walked into the courtyard and heard this sigh.
He raised his eyebrows, walked over, and asked curiously: "Old man, what's wrong?"
Huang Shizheng handed him the note, sighed again, closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.
Huang Yicheng took the note and read the contents carefully. Gradually, he frowned and his face turned from calm to gloomy.
"Snapped!"
After reading the above content, a surge of energy suddenly came out of his palm, and he waved his hand with the note, throwing it to the ground and exploding it into pieces.
"This is impossible!"
Huang Shizheng looked ugly. Su Chen had become the top scholar in martial arts. He knew about it that day. The official appointment would only be from the third rank at best, and the third rank would be the highest.
But so what?
Third grade, in front of the Huang family, is still not enough.
But on the note, it was clearly written that Su Chen was conferred the rank of First Grade Admiral, County Baron, a title higher than his!
"Nothing is impossible."
Huang Shizheng's voice was hoarse and weathered, "Su Chen will be assigned to participate in the upcoming Hundred Dynasties War. Simply by shouldering the responsibility for the peace of Shu in the next year, the Holy Master will not violate the principles. Meet all his requirements.”
If one were to ask who felt the most uncomfortable with Su Chen being granted a first-grade official position, it would be Huang Shizheng. I remembered that half a year ago he had ridiculed Su Chen for being able to dominate the Huang family, but he was just taking advantage of the situation, and his own strength was not worth mentioning at all.
But half a year later, these words turned into a slap in his face.
Huang Yicheng's eyes suddenly condensed, like a drowning man grasping for life-saving straws, his expression looked a bit ferocious due to the struggle, "You mean to say that Su Chen can have an official position because he took the initiative to ask for it from the Holy Emperor? "
"Hmph, you're a despicable and shameless guy, can he get his hands on a first-grade official?"
"Is he worthy!!!"
Huang Shizheng opened his eyelids and glanced at him, knowing that he was stimulated and couldn't bear it for a while.
What's the point? The point is that Su Chen is going to participate in the Hundred Dynasties War!
This means that Su Chen is now standing on the cusp of the storm and is responsible for the development direction of Shu Kingdom in the next year. At this time, he has become extremely important.
What about the official position and title I want to come?
Everyone must admit that his status and official position are worthy of his name!
After some time, Huang Shizheng opened his eyes and said as if he had made up his mind: "Let us know that the engagement between Su Chen and the branch girl Huang Qiaoqian has been approved by our Huang family."
After saying that, he stared at Huang Yicheng, as if he was worried, and asked: "Let go of the Huang family's airs and let the outside world feel that our Huang family comes from the heart, recognizes and accepts them."
"clear?"
Huang Yicheng's expression was startled, and then he nodded solemnly, "Understood!"
After saying that, he left the courtyard to do this.
Not long after, a piece of news, through deliberate operation, quickly swept through most of the capital, and dignitaries also received the news.
But after learning the content, many people sneered from the bottom of their hearts. When Su Chen's reputation was not known and his status was not equal to that of the Huang family, your Huang family looked down on him and even kidnapped his fiancée and imprisoned her.
Now that they are prosperous and their position is no different from that of your Huang family, do you know how to win over them now?
Although the attitude conveyed in the news was much better, the inherent impression given by the Huang family still made people feel that spreading this news was to give Su Chen face and it was his honor.
Many people were waiting for Su Chen's response as if they were watching a show.
However, the person at the center of their discussion, Su Chen, had already left the capital and returned to the Dragon Sect.
At this time, Su Chen had arrived at Zhenlong Sect with Chu Jin.
The two of them landed in front of Longyuan Hall one after another, and then stepped into Longyuan Hall.
Yin Jiao was sitting cross-legged in the mid-air of Long Yuan Hall. He felt Su Chen's breath and it fell from the air.
"it's over?"
it asked.
It was much faster than expected.
Su Chen nodded and said, "Just in time, I have something to tell you."
"oh?"
Yin Jiao couldn't help but be curious, "What's going on?"
"About the War of Hundred Dynasties."
Su Chen said calmly: "You will come with me to participate."
As for the candidates for the Hundred Dynasties War, in his opinion, there were only two candidates. Liu Changqing and the others brought the three of them because they didn't want to leave anyone with the opportunity to gossip.
"Do I have a share too?"
Yin Jiao was surprised. It thought that Su Chen entered the Daoyuan Sect first, and then looked for opportunities to take it in, and then went to Tianwaitian through the teleportation array.
"certainly."
Su Chen nodded. His expectation was to take Huang Qiaoqian and Yin Jiao to participate in the Hundred Dynasties War. With their outstanding performance, they would attract the attention of the Daoyuan Sect and enter the Daoyuan Sect.
Once you get in, everything becomes easy.
"Where's the girl?"
After saying that, Su Chen asked again, but he didn't see her in Long Yuan Hall.
Yin Jiao knew who he was asking, so he said: "A few days ago, her pill broke through Huaying. She felt that her strength had skyrocketed, and she wanted to compete with me."
"But she is your wife, and I can't bully her directly, so I rejected her."
"Now I should be somewhere in the mountains and forests, honing my strength."
After saying that, Yin Jiao shook her head with emotion, "Although her talent is limited, if she is willing to work hard, her cultivation will catch up sooner or later."
Hearing this, Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was an inexplicable flicker in his eyes. Is his talent limited?
After walking out of Longyuan Hall, Su Chen jumped into the air, shuttled through the ups and downs of the mountains, and finally found her in front of a deep pool.
At this time, Huang Qiaoqian was resting by the pond. Luo Shang was undressing, and she stepped into the water to clean her body.
"cough."
Above the void, Su Chen coughed unnaturally and turned his head away consciously, but then he thought, that's not right. Looking at his fiancée, is there anything wrong with her?
But in the end, he didn't look at it and went for a walk silently. When he came back, he happened to see Huang Qiaoqian putting on her dress.
Counting the time, he descended from the sky and asked with a smile: "How does the power of Nascent Soul feel?"
Hearing the sound, Huang Qiaoqian's body suddenly tensed up. When she turned around, she saw Su Chen falling from the sky. A look of surprise immediately appeared in her beautiful eyes, "Is the martial arts competition over?"
Regarding Su Chen's participation in the martial arts competition, she only found out about it from Yin Jiao.
Su Chen smiled and nodded, "I'll hear the news of your breakthrough when I get back."
Huang Qiaoqian stepped forward and said with a sweet smile: "At the Nascent Soul stage, I feel very strong. No beast in this mountain range can be my opponent!"
"According to the realm of martial arts, Nascent Soul is equivalent to the realm of King Wu. Naturally, ordinary beasts will not be your opponent."
Su Chen said.
"Um!"
Huang Qiaoqian smiled and nodded, with a look of nostalgia on her moving face, and said, "Brother Chen, come with me for a walk!"
Ever since she was forcibly taken away by the Huang family, she had never been alone with Su Chen. Even after she was rescued, she focused on her cultivation in order not to hold Su Chen back.
In the end, his hard work paid off, and he finally made a breakthrough some time ago, and his cultivation level barely caught up.
When Su Chen heard her words, there was a hint of endearment in his eyes, and he nodded directly, "Okay."
Immediately, the two of them walked hand in hand throughout the Dragon Burial Mountains, and their footprints were found in every place. It could be regarded as compensation for not being able to stay together during these times.
During this period, Su Chen also took the opportunity to inform her about the Hundred Dynasties War.
After Huang Qiaoqian heard this, a look of confusion appeared on her pretty face, and she asked: "Brother Chen, we are already cultivators of immortals, why do we still need to participate in this worldly dispute?"
Hearing this, Su Chen showed a warm smile, stretched out his hand to rub her silky hair, and said, "After cultivating immortality, you finally realized that immortal cultivators and martial cultivators are not in the same world?"
Huang Qiaoqian narrowed her eyes slightly, looking like she was enjoying this moment. She had long realized the difference between the two. If she could persist without eating or drinking for three months, could a martial artist do it? I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for more than ten days.
Now that she has broken through the Nascent Soul, she feels that she can last longer without eating or drinking.
After enjoying the soft feeling, Su Chen put down his hand and answered, "It's not to participate in worldly disputes, but for our own benefit."
"After all, this is still the lower realm, and the room for improvement is limited. We need to go to a wider world."
Huang Qiaoqian was startled when she heard this. She felt her heart beat faster and her breathing became faster. "You mean, besides our world, there is a bigger world!?"
This directly overturned her world view, cultivating immortals, and subverting the concept that martial arts was the most important thing she had accepted since childhood. She felt the power of cultivating immortals in the realm of one against two.
Now I am told that this world is just a lower world, and there is a bigger world above!
It's as if someone is telling you that everything you are doing now is just a dream!
Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Only wherever you go is the world for immortal cultivators. You can conquer the sky and the earth to your heart's content. There are countless powerful immortal cultivators!"
"Full of danger and opportunity."
After saying that, Su Chen looked at her and said, "Of course, it's also very easy to die."
"If you don't want to go, I won't force you..."
"I do not want!!!"
However, before Su Chen could finish speaking, Huang Qiaoqian's voice suddenly raised an octave and she said loudly: "I don't want to see you getting further and further away from me; I also don't want to stand behind you and rely on your blessing! I don’t want to let go and I’ll never be able to catch you again…”
Having experienced the gap in cultivating immortals, she knew that once she let go, she would never be able to catch up with Su Chen again in her life.
Staying in the lower realm is even more impossible!
Su Chen is very good and outstanding. If he were not by his side, there would definitely be another woman who would shamelessly stick to him.
Looking at the girl in front of him with her hands tightly clenched and her head lowered so that she could not see the expression on her face, Su Chen seemed to be able to feel the unwillingness and fear in her heart. Without too much hesitation, he opened his hand and The girl took her into his arms and gently placed her chin on top of her head. Her voice was soft but firm.
"I won't leave. Even if you let go, I will still be by your side!"
"Brother Chen..."
Huang Qiaoqian raised her head, and Su Chen's handsome face was reflected in her beautiful eyes.
Su Chen's throat rolled. At this moment, he lowered his head suddenly. At this moment, their lips and teeth met...
