Chapter 115: Throughout history, the youngest fifth-rank palace master, the best in boxing among the younger generation!
[During this "Aquarius Demon Disaster", the three major demon clans lurking in the northwest wilderness did not come out in full force, but were just testing. ]

[When Hou Bo from Shenjing and masters from the martial arts world join the battlefield. ]

[As the main planner of this battle, the Dragon King of Jinghe River has already breached the 'Great Wall to Suppress Demons' and caused one of the three great wall masters, 'Heaven Beyond Heaven' Wei Wenshan, to defect and merge into the Northwest Wasteland to open up a lineage.]

[Even though the demons suffered many casualties during the four years, the 'Jinghe Dragon King' and the Northwest Wasteland Master knew what was going on when they saw that Dazhao did not use drastic measures to destroy the foundation of the Three Patriarchs.]

[That is, although the Great Zhaoming is "flourishing with flowers and brocade, and the fire is boiling with oil", in fact, the internal power disputes are on the verge of "falling apart".]

【Not far away! 】

[“Back then, they gathered together because of the Great Demon Lord and the Great Zhao Empress. Now, the leaders of both factions have not shown up. With more and more changes in the world, how can they still be as united as they were in the past, with their ambitions to swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger?”]

[“Drive out the demons and establish the principles of humanity. Ha, just because they are different from your way, you want to kill them all. Why do you have to be so pretentious?”]

[“Just wait. After another sixty years, the Great Zhao you worked so hard to build will become a thing of the past, so that we can avenge our old grudges!”]

[The rising Dragon King of the Jing River, wearing a blue robe with gold patterns, imitated the Great Demon Lord of the past. After "flooding the treasure bottle and turning the land into a swamp", he waved his whip and looked at the broken Great Wall of Demon Suppression, laughing loudly.]

[Then, he led his demon tribe back.]

[Beside him, Wei Wenshan, the lord of Tianwaitian, led only 30% of his soldiers who had been left behind after the Tianwaitian rebellion four years ago. With sinister eyes, he stared at Dazhao in the distance.]

[Four years ago, the whereabouts of the Lord of the Great Snow Mountain were revealed, and he was hunted down for several days by the Lord of the White Jade Capital, Yang Xiu, and the Aquarius General Ye Cang. He finally passed away and his body disappeared without a trace.]

[Wei Wenshan still remembers this grudge today and still harbors hatred in his heart.]

[If it is said that four years ago, out of a moment of anger, he betrayed his colleagues and attacked and killed the Lord of Qingming City, which led to the "Aquarius Rebellion" that lasted for four years, and it also made Wei Wenshan wake up afterwards and feel guilty and regretful. ]

[After hearing the news of the death of the 'Great Snow Mountain Lord', he immediately became disheartened and chose to follow this path until the end.]

[Da Zhao's rules are rules, but beyond the law, there are still human feelings. He did act extreme and made mistakes again and again along the way, but isn't the purpose of practicing martial arts to achieve a "no scruples"? ]

[“Although Ye Cang is dead, Yang Xiu is still here.”]

【“The Lord of Baiyujing.”】

[“If you hadn’t acted on your own four years ago and contacted Ye Cang to kill the Great Snow Mountain Master, how could I, Wei Wenshan, have come to this day in my rage?”]

[“Next time, after several years or decades, when Zhao State is in chaos, I will definitely…”]

[“I’ll fight you to the death!”]

[Wei Wenshan had a cold expression on his face, and with a flick of his sleeves, he hid at the side of the demon king! ]

[As smoke and dust rolled, the monsters fled! ]

【Wait until next time.】

[I'm afraid this won't be a 'test'! ]

[But it is thorough, I will not return until I conquer a state! ]

【At the same time, Aquarius State Capital! 】

[The Demon-Suppressing Great Wall is broken. Even if the Dazhao government invites the master of the Xuanbing Cave to repair it, how can the methods of later generations compare to the "miraculous craftsmanship" of the past? ]

[The Great Wall of Demon Suppression used to be able to "defeat ten demon kings with one city" and could keep the three ancestral temples in the northwest at bay. But now, I'm afraid it only takes three or four demon kings to work together to break it. It is no longer as good as before. ]

[But no matter what, this time the demonic disaster has also retreated. ]

[But the entire Aquarius State, especially the government forces, also experienced a massive earthquake. ]

[Of the three city masters of the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall, 'Tianwaitian' defected, 'Qingming City' fell, and only Yang Xiu of 'Baiyujing' was left. ]

[Two third-rank officials of the government, the state lord Pei Nanbei, fought with the Dragon King of Jinghe River, and took advantage of the Great Wall to fight against several demon kings. They fought dozens of battles, big and small, and each time they went into battle, they were severely injured and left with a chronic illness.]

[As the commander-in-chief of the entire 'Aquarius State', she was responsible for the fact that half of the state was caught in the flames of war for four years. Although she had made many outstanding achievements and no one blamed her, Pei Nanbei felt guilty for not fulfilling her duty to guard the 'Great Demon Lord'.]

[Plus, she was seriously injured and needed several years of recuperation, so she chose to resign and returned to the Pei family to recuperate. She no longer showed up, leaving the position of "State Lord" vacant.]

【Plus,】

[Ye Cang, the Great General of the Aquarius Demon Hunting Division, fought to the death to defend the Aquarius Palace, upholding his oath of "once you enter the Demon Hunting Division, you will die and never escape", and brought the greatest offensive of the three ancestral temples to naught. However, he also gave his life on this piece of land, leaving the position of the Great General of the Aquarius vacant.]

[In an instant, the two government offices were blessed with the "Da Zhao Qi Fu", and they were given a position of real power comparable to that of a third-rank military marquis, making countless people jealous! ]

【As the war ended. 】

[The "Feast of Rewards" begins. ]

【After all the competition, the last laugh】

[They are the third-rank 'Dragon Slayer Marquis' from Shenjing who took over the position of Demon Hunting General and State Lord, and Lan Jingyi, a direct descendant of the Lan family who was conferred the title of 'Duke of Liang' and one of the six great princes and nobles! ]

[Both of them are fourth-step characters dispatched from 'Shenjing' to help Aquarius State. ]

[After this turmoil ended and the forces were reshuffled, the new 'Aquarius King' stood at the top of power in Aquarius State! ]

[Among them, Lan Jingyi, who was born in the lineage of the Duke of Liang, served as the 'Lord of Baoping State', the Marquis of Zhanlong, and the 'General of Baoping', and was promoted to the third rank, becoming a real Dazhao dignitary who deserves to be worshipped! ]

Four years later!
Aquarius state capital.

The wine glasses clinked and the banquet began.

The new elites who rose to fame in the "Aquarius Disaster" were busy coming and going on all sides.

But sitting in one of the most conspicuous seats was a young man with a calm brow, watching all this quietly, his body standing still, dressed in a scarlet official uniform, looking extremely noble.

When people passed by him, they all whispered:

"Is this Song Chaixin, the one from Wutong Prefecture, known as 'the god of the Aquarius State, the god of fists', Song Zhenshou?"

"It is said that he once formed a battle formation with 300 warriors and captured a Yuan Dan monster, killing 2,000 monsters and making them lie prone. This shocked General Ye Cang, the Aquarius general at the time, and he praised him highly."

"More than that?"

"A year ago, this person mastered the authentic boxing art from the Lord of Baiyujing and became the martial arts master 'Bi Xue Qing Tian'."

"I heard that he originally practiced a famous martial art to perfection. If he were allowed to grow for a few more decades, wouldn't it be a natural progression for him to reach the most difficult fourth step?"

This young man, about twenty years old, dressed in red, with stern eyes and brows, seemed to be the center of everyone's discussion.

Beside him.

Song Fanjing, with hair like silver snow, eyes like the bright moon, and a light blue skirt, looks younger and younger with the passing of time. He sits here quietly.

The two people, a man and a woman, looked very well matched, like a golden boy and a jade girl, making others envious.

Sitting around the two of them.

There is Ye Huai, the legitimate son of the former "General Baoping", who drinks to drown his sorrows and has a worried look on his face.

He was in military uniform and had been criticized for his commander's defection. Later, due to his four years of experience in killing monsters, he washed away the "stigma" of the Monster-Suppressing Great Wall and was named Xu Zuorong.

There is Qin Changfeng, who comes from Xuanbing Cave, wearing white clothes and a red scarf; and Gu Fengchun, the current head of the Gu family.

These 'six people'.

Apart from the fourth-step masters and some warriors at the peak of Yuandan, he is a true genius who has made remarkable achievements and made outstanding contributions.

Outsiders gave them a nickname, "Aquarius Six".

For example, four years ago, the top genius admission ticket 'Youlin Club' seemed far inferior to these six people today.

The wax spear head piled up with reputation and talent,

With every sword and spear, forged from blood and frost.
It's like the light of a firefly, trying to compete with the bright moon!
Quite literally.

Only the merits matter!

Those who can stand shoulder to shoulder with these six people,
Only Yang Xiu, Lord of Baiyujing, who took off his armor and returned to Shenjing, brought his eldest disciple Qi Zangzhen with him.

There is no one else of the same generation!
"Gu Fengchun of the Aquarius Gu family broke through the Yellow Wind Valley and attacked the Great Pan Formation. He fought seventeen battles in four years and killed thirty-seven Yuandan and Xiantian demons, as well as hundreds of demons!"

"After being presented to the Divine Capital, the various dignitaries participated in the government, and he was granted the title of 'Zi Yang Fu Zun', a fifth-rank rank, and was given a dark scarlet robe and a silver fish!"

As the new state lord Lan Jingyi appeared in a red and purple robe, lines of appointment documents were issued one after another!
Among them, Gu Fengchun, who has the 'Gu Family' as his support, has complicated connections, and his qualifications and conduct are both outstanding. Under the operation, he soared into the sky and became the 'Master of a Prefecture'!
"Everyone, we have been comrades for four years. We are of the same blood and share the same hatred. If you need me, you can come to Aquarius Mansion to find me in the future."

Gu Fengchun had obviously anticipated this appointment.

As Lan Jingyi finished speaking.

Gu Fengchun spoke solemnly to Song Chaixin and the other five people around him, then stood up and responded frankly.

Then,

Ye Huai, relying on his father's influence and his own military exploits, was also awarded the title of 'Fu Zun', but...
He was awarded the title of 'Baoping Fu Zun' of a state capital!
A seventh-rank official under the emperor is equivalent to a frontier official.

Similarly, the prefectural governor of a state is naturally more important than other prefectures. This is for a martial artist at the peak of the second step.
It's almost impossible.

It is like a huge fortune falling on one's head. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to make great progress in his future official career.

But looking at Ye Huai, his expression showed no sadness or joy.

Song Chaixin understood at a glance.

If he could change it, he would rather not have this sky-high reward.

Gu Fengchun and Ye Huai gave up.

Xu Zuorong was named the 'Chief of the Aquarius Prefecture's Military Department', in charge of a thousand Aquarius Prefecture's soldiers, ranking sixth rank, below the Prefecture's Lord and the Prefecture's Demon Catcher.

As for Qin Changfeng, he declined the invitation from the government because of the Taoist sect "Xuanbing Cave" behind him.

However, he got a calligraphy work that looked like a "visualization map" jointly written by Lan Jingyi and Zhanlong Hou, a pair of hot new powerful people in Aquarius State.

He inscribed the eight characters "When the mountains and rivers are in turmoil, the Divine Emperor will protect the state" and presented it to Xuanbing Cave.

It's called rewarding Qin Changfeng.

In fact, it was a show of goodwill to the master of Xuanbing Cave, who had made great efforts to rebuild the Great Wall to Suppress Monsters.

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

After all, the first three things a new official has to do when taking office is to consolidate his base.

Wait until everyone has received their rewards.

Lan Jingyi, who was wearing a red and purple robe and had an elegant expression, and Zhan Long Hou, who had a wild look on his face, turned their gazes to Song Chai Xin:

"Song Chaixin, the former Black Mountain garrison commander, has slain countless demons and monsters over the past four years and has made great contributions. He was recommended by the previous governor Pei Nanbei and the former Baiyujing governor Yang Xiu and was promoted to 'Wutong Mansion Master'!"

Wow!
"Master Wutong? Song Chaixin? This..."

"Isn't he only at the peak of the second step? Although his soul is perfect and only a little bit away from the Yuandan, but..."

"Wutong Mansion Master, after all, is not an ordinary Yuan Dan, and can be promoted!"

"Gu Fengchun is the pride of the Gu family, and he is also a top-grade Yuandan. After four years of training, he has already made great progress. That's why he barely sits on the throne of Ziyang Mansion. Although Ye Huai is at the top of the second step, General Ye is loyal and brave after all, so it is reasonable."

As Song Chai Xin stood up.

Some people were shocked, causing a stir and expressing doubts.

The question was not about Song Chaixin's achievements in the past four years, which were obvious to all, but about
His cultivation!

But on the other side, Song Fanjing's eyes lit up slightly, with a look of surprise!
After four years of sharing life and death and walking side by side, she has long regarded Song Chaixin as her spiritual pillar.

He could go higher and higher, and as his future wife, Song Fanjing was naturally happy.

And
The Lord of Wutong Mansion!

Ranked fifth grade!

In name, he has the qualifications to suppress the "orthodox" in the mansion.

That is, just wait until they turn back.
After four years, he returned home in glory. It was not Song Yuan who formed a "Demon Fighting Alliance" to confuse right and wrong, but they
Go up to Yunluan and use your power to suppress him, so that the position of the leader and the subordinate will be reversed!

The two are like heaven and earth, and cannot be compared.

However, no matter how other people's expressions change.

Song Chaixin, the person involved, had always been calm. He accepted the appointment, thanked the new governor and demon-hunting general in a dignified manner, and sat back with a nonchalant look.

Lan Jingyi was amazed and said, "He is calm in the face of adversity and has a broad mind. He has the demeanor of the Duke of Liang."

This sentence almost caused quite a stir at this 'banquet'.

Even the other people who were sitting at the same table with Song Chaixin almost couldn't sit still. While congratulating him, they looked at Song Chaixin with surprise in their eyes, and only one thought came to their mind:
"The new governor's evaluation of Song Chai Xin is so high?"

Who is the Duke of Liang?

One of the seven princes of Dazhao!

He is a person of the same generation as the 'Great Demon Hunting Lord'!

this.
However, there was no time for everyone to think about it.

"I have a daughter who is in her prime. I wonder if Mr. Song is interested in a marriage with her?" Lan Jingyi took the initiative to speak.

Suddenly, everyone present was enlightened.

That's it
Whether the feelings are praised or not, the real intention is to win over the person!

But yes.

A person like Song Chaixin who is young but already has great boxing skills.
Even in the capital, you can take the lead and look down on your peers, right?

It is common sense to catch a son-in-law from the list!
It's no wonder that even a newly rising powerful figure like Lan Jingyi would have thoughts on this.

On one side, Zhanlong Hou narrowed his eyes and looked Song Chaixin up and down, wondering what he was thinking.

However, the young man in red clothes only glanced at the woman in gauze skirt beside him, and rejected Lan Jingyi's proposal straightforwardly:
"I'm sorry, Lord."

"I already have a fiancée."

After saying this, he took off the 'Fanjing Sword Talisman' worn on his waist, motioned to everyone, and said loudly:
"This sword talisman was given to me by my wife herself six years ago. I cannot throw it away!"

I saw that the sword symbol was crystal clear, like a precious jade, with a round pearly luster, and engraved with a line of words: The Buddhist mirror is like colored glaze, when will it be pure?

In an instant, Song Fanjing's face flushed and he looked at Song Chaixin with an angry look, as if blaming him for saying such words in front of so many people.

But those eyes, which were usually cold and clear, became moist as he finished speaking, as if they could be soaked through. It seemed as if the "full of brilliance" had disappeared from his eyes, and only the young man was left.

After hearing this, Lan Jingyi was shocked at first.

Then he couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed:

"Young people should be full of vigor and vitality!"

"A young man from Aquarius State!"

"Be like Song Chaixin!"

"The person you like must be Miss Song."

The elegant new governor slowly looked at Song Chaixin:
"Before General Baoping passed away and Lord Baiyujing resigned, they told me that if Miss Song killed all the demons and went to the front lines herself, she would be able to prove her innocence."

"So, to uphold the will of the old people."

"This prefecture lord will personally write a letter of 'prefecture order' to inform the entire Wutong Mansion that Song Fanjing did not collude with the big demon to cause chaos and is innocent!"

"Other,"

"You two newlyweds, please remember to let me know."

"I will give you two a 'marriage contract' as a gift, just as a gift to celebrate your outstanding military achievements!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, laughed, turned the matter over and never mentioned it again.

[After four years of hardships, you and Song Fanjing have gone through many ups and downs, slayed countless demons and monsters, and your boxing skills have become divine! ]

[At the celebration banquet, you received praise from the new state lord Lan Jingyi, who said that you were "not inferior to the Duke of Liang" in his time, which amazed everyone.]

[At the same time, he received the last financial support from Pei Nanbei and Yang Xiu before they left. At the age of 21, he became the youngest "Fifth Rank Mansion Master" in the entire history of Dazhao. He attracted the favor of the state lord, who wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law!]

[However, you used a 'Fanjing Sword Talisman' as an inducement, and earned the name 'Deep Love but Long Life', winning a great deal of applause! ]

[This year, you have achieved the "Martial Arts Heavenly Phase" with both boxing skills, and truly achieved the status of "younger generation, invincible in boxing" in the entire northwest region of Dazhao! ]

[The banquet ends three days later.]

[You bid farewell to your comrades, as well as the several geniuses who had shared life and death with you, and with all your glory, you and Song Fanjing set out on the journey back to Wutong Mansion.]

The same road.

【Four years ago, the journey was rough. 】

【Four years later, the journey back home.】

【But he returned home in glory and glory! 】
