With that, the hall fell silent again.
The First Emperor made Lu Xuan a Divine Immortal Marquis. Although many ministers were moved, no one tried to dissuade him.
There was no other reason.
Divine Immortal Marquis was just a title.
He was supported by the court's salary, but he didn't have any actual position. He didn't manage anything and had no influence on the court.
The Emperor was in a good mood to reward such an idle marquis, and the ministers were too lazy to care about it.
Even when it came to the matter of betrothal to the princess, most of the unrelated ministers still did not think much of it.
Some of the emperor's daughters married important officials in the court, while some married very ordinary people.
The emperor's son-in-law sounded nice, but in reality, it was just that.
It was just a false reputation, and it did not mean that he would be given any real position.
Many emperor sons-in-law only wanted to be free and happy their entire lives.
It had little to do with the power struggle in the court.
But the Great General was different.
He was in charge of thousands of soldiers and horses. His every word and action would affect the safety of the empire and the overall situation of the court.
Lu Xuan's talent was obvious to everyone.
But could one command thousands of troops just because they were talented?
It was probably not the same thing.
Even the top scorer of the future generations would not be given a high official position when he had just passed the examination.
Instead, he would be raised in a leisurely and noble position. Only when he slowly became familiar with the actual situation would he be able to be used and promoted step by step.
As for Lu Xuan, he had only been in Great Qin for three days.
Becoming a general in three days and commanding thousands of troops was unprecedented.
However, the emperor had already spoken. The officials wanted to refute, but they were afraid of angering the First Emperor.
For a moment, the hall was deathly silent.
Lu Xuan walked forward and was about to speak.
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, I've heard that Marquis Divine Immortal reached the Xiantian realm in a day. I'm very impressed by his abilities. I wonder if I can ask him for some advice?”
The person who spoke was none other than the young genius of Great Qin, the Left Mage Xing Hun.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Xing Hun was able to receive the protection of a mage. The officials in the imperial court were very clear about his abilities.
Although Lu Xuan had extraordinary abilities, he was still just an ordinary person a few days ago.
Even if his cultivation speed was extremely fast, it was still impossible for him to compare to Xing Hun.
They could use their Astral Souls to suppress Lu Xuan's aura, and they would be able to find an excuse to persuade the Emperor to retract his order.
The corners of Lu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly. He smiled faintly and did not say anything.
An imperceptible sinister smile flashed across Zhao Gao's face.
As expected, Xing Hun challenged Lu Xuan.
Everything was under his control.
Ying Zheng's eyes shone brightly.
"Deity Marquis, are you willing to fight with the Kingdom Protector?”he asked with a smile.
"Before I left, Master warned me not to fight with others.”
"It's really difficult to disobey Master's orders." Lu Xuan cupped his hands.”
Zhao Gao couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.
As expected, he did not dare to compete with Xing Hun, yet he made up such an excuse.
However, could he refuse?
As expected, before Zhao Gao could speak, he heard General Meng Tian's voice.
"No. His Majesty wanted to make Mr. Lu the Great General and command thousands of troops. At this moment, Mr. Lu should show his abilities to the ministers in the court so that everyone would be convinced.”
The other ministers also spoke up.
"That's right. This isn't a battle of personal feelings!"
"The military values martial arts. Mister Lu should show them a thing or two and let the soldiers see the abilities of the Great General.”
"That makes sense!"
……
A strange look flashed across Ying Zheng's dragon eyes.
He was getting more and more curious about Lu Xuan's abilities.
"Mr. Lu, in that case, don't reject it.”
Lu Xuan smiled and cupped his hands." How can I disobey His Majesty's orders?"”
In fact, he had long been eager to fight Xing Hun.
Lu Xuan's martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds, but he had never fought against a top-notch master.
To have the opportunity to experience the martial arts of an expert, he was more than happy to do so.
Xing Hun, this little brat, although he was still young, he definitely had very high achievements in the cultivation of the Yin-Yang Art. He was just the right person to be his opponent.
His previous rejection was just an act.
However, when she heard that Lu Xuan was going to fight Xing Hun, Ying Yinman, who was standing on the top, became extremely anxious.
Three days ago, in front of the Lanchi Palace, Lu Xuan couldn't even block Young Master Si Ming's Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Technique. He could only use his Lightness Skill and escape into the Lanchi Palace with her.
Xing Hun was the Left Protector of the Yin-Yang School and Shao Siming's superior.
Without a doubt, his cultivation base was even higher than Shao Si Ming's.
If Mr. Lu lost to Xing Hun, or if something happened during the competition…
Ying Yinman was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Mister Lu drank too much today and is not suitable for a competition. It's better not to compete.”
She spoke in a hoarse voice to cover up her female voice.
In the main hall, many ministers exchanged glances.
Since when was it a guard's turn to speak?
Fu Su, Huhai, Li Si, Wang Ben, and the other important officials all recognized her as the Seventh Princess.
But the other officials didn't recognize him.
It was no wonder that they found it strange.
When Lu Xuan heard this, he could not help but reveal a slightly strange smile.
This Ying Yinman was really adorable when she looked nervous.
However, how could the martial arts competition be canceled?
He still had to teach Xing Hun, this little brat, a lesson.
Just as he was about to speak, Xing Hun spoke first,"How can a few cups of wine make a Divine Immortal Marquis drunk?”
Lu Xuan laughed.
"What the Nation Guardian says makes sense. I'd like to see how capable Great Qin's Nation Guardian is.”
"Please!"
