In Marquis Seadeep's estate, after sending away the messenger, Madam Wang and Madam Liu were overjoyed. After rewarding the servants, they gradually calmed down.
In the main courtyard of the back residence, other than the personal maids, everyone else was waiting outside the room.
In the room, Madam Wang and Madam Liu were both silent.
Both of them were intelligent. Although Xin 'er had made meritorious deeds on the battlefield and was worthy of celebration, he was first conferred the title of a first-class viscount, and now he was conferred the title of an earl.
However, Marquis Seaside's residence already had a high status and authority, and now another noble had appeared. Moreover, he was an earl in charge of the army.
Whether it was a blessing or a curse was unknown.
"Madam!"
A voice sounded from outside the door.
Lady Wang glanced at Qing He. Qing He bowed and walked out.
After a while, Qing He returned and approached the Wang family. She whispered,"Furen, rumors have spread about Young Master's military achievements in the Northern Territory, and the matter of him being titled the Count of Jing Bei is also spreading.”
With a thud, both Madam Wang and Madam Liu felt the same way. After looking at each other, Madam Wang said,"Sister, it seems like a storm is coming.”
Hearing Lady Wang's words, Lady Liu also frowned and revealed a worried expression.
"Sister, should we send a letter to remind him?”
"There's no need to say it clearly in the letter. However, you can tell Xin 'er what happened in the Divine Capital. I believe he should have an idea.”
"Alright, I'll write it now."
As she spoke, Liu-shi went directly to the side of the table, where Qing He and Liu-shi's personal maid, Qiu Ju, served. After a while, a letter was written and handed to Madam Wang to read again before it was sealed.
"Qing He, send the letter to North Wind City through our channels.”
"Here."
Qing He took the letter and left.
…….
In the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Xuanyuan Ming had also received the news.
It was impossible for the Crown Prince not to know that the young master of Marquis Yanhai's estate, Li Xin, had been conferred the title of Count Jing Bei.
Moreover, the rumors had already gone crazy.
Xuanyuan Ming was playing chess with Crown Prince Zhan Shi Gu Shang.
"What does Mister think of our newly promoted Earl Jing Bei?”Xuanyuan Ming said to Gu Shang as he looked at the chessboard.
"Li Xin, Count of Jingbei, has made outstanding contributions. The Marquisdom of Sealed Sea controls the Yan Hai Army and has a high position. As such, the Marquisdom of Sealed Sea has already surpassed many other noble estates and become one of the top few.”
"In fact, in terms of influence, even the residences of the military officials might not be comparable.”
"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind?" Xuanyuan Ming's hand paused as he spoke.
"The tree has deep roots and is protected from the wind and rain. Although it is destroyed, it may not fall.”Gu Shang's words silenced Xuanyuan Ming.
Seeing Xuanyuan Ming stop and not place a piece, Gu Shang looked up and smiled.""Your Highness, are you thinking about the gift from before?”
"Yes." Xuanyuan Ming didn't hide anything.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Although Li Xin did not accept Your Highness 'good intentions, the other Princes did not accept their good intentions either, right?”
"Your Highness is the crown prince. You are the monarch, and he is the subject. As long as Your Highness does not make a mistake, he will still be your subordinate in the future. What's the difference between being by the Crown Prince's side now and being under your control in the future?”
"Moreover, wouldn't it be better to become a minister of justice in the future?”
Gu Shang's words made Xuanyuan Ming smile. He put down the chess piece and stood up to bow."Thank you for your explanation, Mister.”
Gu Shang turned to the side and returned the greeting. She said to Xuanyuan Ming,""It's good that Your Highness understands. Shall we continue?”
"Alright, continue, continue. Teacher, this time I won't lose to you again.”
…….
It was normal for Crown Prince Xuanyuan Ming to have such thoughts because he was already the Crown Prince. However, Prince Yu, Prince An, Prince Ning, Prince Jing, and others were different.
If they wanted to ascend to the throne, the Crown Prince would definitely be a huge obstacle.
At the same time, they were different from the Crown Prince. If they wanted to take the throne, they would definitely rope in the officials of the court.
Other than their mother's family, anyone else who wanted to rope them in had to be given a lot of benefits.
However, the newly promoted Count of Jing Bei had rejected their good intentions the last time. He was not even willing to reply to them, and had the Marquis of Zhenbei write for him.
At that time, the kings were furious.
But now, Li Xin had been promoted to Earl by his father, Qian Gang, and given the title of Jing Bei.
Even if they were unwilling, the princes still had to think of ways to rope in this new military upstart.
Of course, if he failed to rope them in secretly, it was uncertain whether he would have other thoughts.
……
General Manor, Secret Room.
Li Xin woke up from his cultivation.
[Host: Li Xin]
[Strength: Initial stage of internal force (Strength of one flood dragon and five elephants, over 150,000 jin)]
[Cultivation Technique: Dragon Elephant Force (Level Four), Nine Bloody Massacres (Great Success), Overlord Spear Technique (Great Success), Reckless Bull Fist (Yellow Rank High Grade, Perfected), Basic Saber Technique (Perfected), Basic Spear Technique (Perfected)]
[Total Points: 33,670]
He had lost 150,000 points all of a sudden. Moreover, he had to break through to the fifth level of the Dragon Elephant Force. If he had followed the prescribed steps during cultivation, the time would have been endless.
And to use the pills in the system to cultivate, it also required a huge sum of points.
It seemed that just using points to exchange for medicinal pills was not enough. He still had to start from reality. He mainly collected precious medicines and so on, and exchanged points for medicinal pills as a supplement.
This was the best method.
After thinking about it, he felt the internal strength gushing out from his body. Li Xin's heart was filled with pride.
With his strength, he was absolutely invincible under the HuaJin stage.
With the help of his internal strength, he could even defeat someone at the early stage of the HuaJin stage.
At this moment, Li Xin truly had the ability to protect himself.
On the battlefield, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to fight against an army of ten thousand and take on the charge of heavy cavalry.
Moreover, he had the Overlord Spear, the Nine Bloody Massacres, and other martial techniques.
The Dragon Elephant Force's inner force was endless. When the Nine Bloody Massacres was on the battlefield, it could still recover his physical strength. It could be said that the probability of him being exhausted on the battlefield was extremely small.
After coming out of the secret room, Liu Bao, who was guarding outside, immediately reported,""Lord Jue, there's a letter from home. It's written personally by Furen.”
The Furen mentioned here was naturally Madam Liu.
After Liu Hu and the other personal guards followed Li Xin, the Madam in their eyes was only Liu-shi. As for the Wang family, they addressed them as Marchioness.
In the future, Li Xin's wife could only become the Young Madam as long as Liu-shi was still around.
Hearing that it was his mother's handwriting, Li Xin was stunned and immediately took it.
After taking a look at the seal, he opened the letter.
After reading the letter, Li Xin was silent and then said,""Got it. I'll write back later.”
"Here."
After that, they didn't go to the main hall but went straight to the study.
After writing the reply, he sealed it with wax and handed it to Liu Bao.
Not long after, Liu Bao changed into casual clothes and quietly left the residence. He handed the letter to the Iron Guard before returning.
On the third day after Li Xin left the mountain, a group of over a thousand cavalry came from the south.
When they were about to approach North Wind City, a rider leaped out and shouted at the nervous and vigilant North Wind City guards,"The Governor of Youzhou, the Marquis of Northguard, and the Angel of the Divine Capital have arrived!”
When the commandant heard this, he cupped his hands and bowed. Then, he ordered for them to let him go. At the same time, he sent soldiers to the General's Manor to deliver a message.
"Lord Jue, an angel has arrived. In addition, the Northguard Marquis is here as well.”Liu Hu quickly entered the main hall and reported to Li Xin who was handling official business.
"Angel?" Li Xin nodded, knowing that the imperial edict had arrived.
"Set up the incense table and gather the generals!"
"Here!"
Not long after, all the generals of the North Wind City gathered and waited in front of the mansion.
The rumbling of horse hooves came closer. Qi Lun, the Marquis of Northern Battlefront, led several Guard Generals and a eunuch beside him. There were also more than a hundred knights in Imperial Army armor.
"First class, North Wind City's General Li Xin greets the Angel.”
Li Xin stood in front and cupped his hands.
"Welcome, angel. Greetings, Governor." Behind him, the generals of North Wind City agreed.
"Generals, please excuse the formalities." The eunuch said with a smile.
He was here on behalf of the present. Even Qi Lun, the Marquis of Northern Battlefront, had to stand aside.
After that, everyone dismounted and entered the General's Mansion. They set up the incense table and other things. The eunuch stood in front and unfolded the imperial edict. The Marquis of Zhenbei and the other generals of North Wind City all bowed with their hands crossed to receive the edict.
