As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 740 Abdication

The cavalry led the way, with the infantry following behind. The bronze-blue horses were like a solid fortress, and their hooves stepped on the ground, like an earthquake shaking the mountains, which captivated countless people.

In a flash, the army that was returning to the capital had arrived at the city gate. Tian Jing rode his horse to the front row, wearing a black armor that shone like obsidian, and a red cape as bright as blood. When he saw Jiang Ran, he shook his robe and dismounted, stuck his heavy sword into the ground, knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Tian Jing learned the news that Suling was named a county when he was in the border area.

"General, please stand up." Jiang Ran helped Tian Jing up with both hands.

"A banquet has been set up in the city. Please, General Tian and the other soldiers, eat and drink your fill."

As they entered the city gate, the people on both sides cheered and threw sachets of perfume at the soldiers.

"To defend our home city, all the boys and girls in our Dasu are great!"

"Look here, here, here!!!"

"Su Jun!!! Invincible!!!"

When Tian Jing and other soldiers saw how lovely the people were, they suddenly felt that their killing of enemies on the battlefield was meaningful.

"The general in front, are you married? I have a little daughter at home..."

The young player who was called out looked embarrassed and blushed.

They returned to the city in a mighty procession, and when they arrived at the mansion, the lord's people killed chickens and set up a banquet to welcome the soldiers.

At the court meeting the next day, Jiang Ran rewarded people according to their merits, granting them fertile fields, mansions, cloth, horses, and all kinds of natural treasures that were helpful for spiritual practice. The generous rewards made many civil officials very eager, and they wished they were the ones who went on the battlefield to kill the enemy.

After the court meeting, Jiang Ran met with Tian Jing alone in the study.

The latter was sitting opposite Jiang Ran. He took off his heavy and solemn armor, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his broad, dark face.

"Uncle Tian, ​​Tian Chi was on the battlefield in the west some time ago. After the battle ended, he returned to Mingxiao. I don't think you saw him."

Tian Jing waved his hand indifferently, "A real man should go out and make his own way. If I haven't met him, then I haven't met him. It's enough to know that he is doing well and has a promising future."

"Tian Chi and his beast are growing very fast. The young tiger has already reached the initial stage of the Spirit Refining Realm. Tian Chi should be qualified to enter the Mingxiao Outer Peak for cultivation."

"This is all thanks to your Highness for taking the trouble to bring my son to Mingxiao Academy for training."

He stood up and bowed deeply to Jiang Ran.

Tian Jing had never been to Mingxiao City, but he knew it was a prosperous place with many powerful cultivators. At the beginning, Tian Chi had a mediocre talent in cultivation. If Jiang Ran had not used the qualification crystal to measure his seventh-level mental power and found that he had the talent to become a spirit beast master, and sent him to Mingxiao Academy and selected a contract beast with extremely high talent for him, how could Tian Chi be what he is today?

"Tian Chi has played with my three siblings since childhood. We are all brothers and sisters, so this is as it should be." Jiang Ran said with a smile, "There is no one else here except Manager Li, so Uncle Tian, ​​please don't be so polite to me." Tian Jing nodded and sat back down, "I am old and my talent is average, so it may be very difficult for me to break through the Xuan Gu realm. Now that I see the lord has become king, the territory has expanded to Mengsong Mountain in the north and Dusk Swamp in the southwest, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of my previous dream."

Jiang Ran was slightly stunned. How could Tian Jing's words sound like...

really.

Tian Jing continued, "After all, Dasu is a world of young people. Your Highness, I want to resign from the position of Chief of the Ministry of War and General!"

Jiang Ran couldn't help but frown, "Uncle Tian, ​​you are in your prime, the right age to venture out, why are you thinking of abdicating? Besides, if you step down, who in Dasu can take the position of general now?"

"Yes." Li Fusheng, who had been silent, was also shocked when he heard this. Tian was actually a senior cadre of the Dasu Army, and he retired just like that. "General Tian has great prestige in the army now, and the younger generation is not yet ready to take on the responsibility. How can he retire just like that?"

Tian Jing said with an open-minded smile, "Haha, Chief Li, there are already many people in the Great Hall who have surpassed me in cultivation, so naturally the competent ones will take the position. As for the prestige in the army, I can cultivate it sooner or later."

He looked at Jiang Ran seriously and said, "If Your Highness is in distress now, I can temporarily perform the duties of the general, but I don't have the face to take up the title."

Tian Jing was determined to retreat, but fortunately he was willing to temporarily manage the army for Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran couldn't persuade him and had no choice but to agree.

"By the way, what happened to the many cultivators from Zhuoli and other counties who were sent back to Suling City?" Tian Jing asked curiously.

There are at least two to three thousand monks, which is a huge force. If they can be made to surrender sincerely, the combat effectiveness of the Dasu will be greatly increased.

Speaking of these people, Jiang Ran's smile faded a little. "Most of these cultivators have been spoiled by their previous territories. Most of them are arrogant people who think highly of themselves and look down on ordinary people. If we let them go now, they will definitely rely on their own cultivation to oppress the people below."

Tian Jing said, "Then we need to dampen their arrogance and teach them how to behave themselves again."

Li Fusheng smiled and said, "Of course, Your Highness has had this intention for a long time. They are probably feeling uncomfortable now."

These three thousand monks were gathered at the foot of the royal city in the name of further study. At the beginning, Dasu did not confiscate their magic weapons. However, on the first day after entering the city, someone became arrogant and domineering. Just because a passerby accidentally blocked his way, he actually slashed the passerby with a knife. Such arrogance angered Jiang Ran who heard the news. The next day, he confiscated their weapons directly. First, he threw the monk who injured people into the dungeon and whipped him fifty times, and then sent all three thousand people to the extremely hot Xiangling Secret Realm.

In the Xiangling land where there was a shortage of water and food, these people were required to grow grass with the villagers of Shicun. Moreover, the villagers of Shicun were tough and these monks were exhausted within two days.

Everyone hated the monk who hurt others and caused them to be implicated. They clamored to go back. They also realized that the people of Dasu were different from the "untouchables" in the past. They would not be worshipped and praised, and the government would not even stand on their side unconditionally!
Even if they complain bitterly and regret deeply, Dasu's transformation of them will not end so easily. They will have to stay in Xiangling Secret Realm for a month and learn the laws of Dasu by heart during this period before they will be released.

Tian Jing clapped his hands and cheered, "That's how it should be! Well done, they should suffer a little. The martial arts of monks are not to be used to oppress the powerless people."

Tian Jing had not been back to Suling City for at least half a year. He was very curious about everything that happened here. The two talked a lot about the affairs of Guan Da Su. Tian Jing suddenly rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Your Highness, I am so old, but I have never seen what a fairy looks like. Can you let the first fairy of our Da Su come out so that I can take a closer look?"

Jiang Ran sneered.

Dasu Ren really has a strong fascination with demon spirits. Ever since she got this demon spirit, all the bolder ones have come to ask to see the young fairy of the black birch tree.
