Shennong Sequence

Chapter 151: Exceptional Reward from the Sixth Rank General Po Lu, Entering the World of Fortune of the Great Zhou

King You and the third-rank general Dong Can, who was in charge of conquering the enemy, were surrounded by the crowd and walked into Yanshan County.

Afterwards, those members of the Flying Bear Legion stationed directly outside the city gate.

However, there were also a dozen soldiers in tight uniforms who walked out of the team and walked at the end of the crowd with King You's guards and servants.

As a member of the welcoming delegation, Zhao Yun walked a little ahead of the guards, and was in the middle and back part of the entire huge crowd.

"My dear friend, you and I are really destined to meet. We meet again today."

However, Zhao Yun was just behind the crowd when he heard a voice. He turned around and saw that it was the Xiang family man who had ill intentions towards him who came to visit him.

"Old man, we have no fate, but I see that you are quite rich, so why not give some money to the poor children on the street. If I see that you look kind, we can chat for a while."

"Oh? How about I just give you the money I've distributed?"

"Haha, the silver from your prime minister is money for my life. I dare not take it." Zhao Yun directly refused the old man's offer of money.

He always remembered what Master Sun and the others had told him, that people from the Xiang family would steal fortune.

Therefore, when you meet a fortune teller, the first thing you need to pay attention to is that you should not take the initiative to let these fortune tellers look at your fortune, so as to avoid stealing your fortune through this cause and effect.

Second, you cannot owe money to a fortune teller, or ask for money from him, because he can also follow this cause and effect to ask for luck.

Third, if you can avoid talking to the Xiang family, don't talk to those old-timers. Otherwise, a rookie will probably be trapped by the old-timers!

So after Zhao Yun refused, he didn't plan to continue the in-depth conversation with the old man.

Instead, he turned around and continued to chase the group of people who had already taken a few wrong steps.

Then he disappeared into the crowd, and the old man from the Xiang family could only stare blankly outside the crowd.

"Hmph! Good boy, you really don't know what's good for you. However, I will not only take your luck, but also find out your specific roots. Wait for me to uncover all the secrets in you layer by layer..."

Then, the crowd headed straight for the central county government office in the county town.

After arriving at the county government office, King You glanced at County Magistrate Fang and suddenly asked:
"Your small county has been quite lively recently! Not only is there the wise and brave Zhao Yun, but there are also people who are so daring as to collude with the barbarians and betray the country. There have also been assassins who have repeatedly appeared to kill Zhao Yun despite the wrath of the world..."

"By the way, I also heard that there were quite a few corrupt officials who, relying on the power of the soldiers, seized the property of various caravans and embezzled it in the prosperous horse market?"

County Magistrate Fang was stunned by this series of questions, and beads of sweat were about to fall from his forehead.

Zhang Zhouling, who was standing on the other side, listened carefully to what King You said, but the speaker was unintentional while the listener was intentional.

Zhang Zhouling always felt that King You was talking about the county magistrate, but in fact it seemed as if he was referring to himself.

But he had no evidence, and the position of King You was difficult to shake, so he just stood aside calmly and let King You narrate...

When King You finished his narration, he came out to protect County Magistrate Fang, who was overwhelmed.

Zhang Zhouling took over and said:
"My Lord, there are so many people in this world, and the bad guys you mentioned can be found everywhere. Besides, haven't the things you mentioned been resolved? Why bring up the old things again?"

"Besides, Zhao Yun is the one who ruined the entire Canglan Grassland Barbarians' grand plan. So in order to strangle Zhao Yun before he grows up, the barbarians even issued a hunting order to the Yanyu Tower assassin organization that has branches in various countries, causing a large number of assassins to come and hunt Zhao Yun... Now, this assassination is inevitable."

"But Your Majesty, you and the Emperor are brothers, and I have often heard that you have countless treasures. Why not give some to our Zhao Yun, who has made great contributions but is not very powerful?"

As soon as Zhang Zhouling came up, he put some eye drops on King You!
And this eye drops is quite strong.

There is no other reason. King You came here on this trip to represent the Divine Dynasty to preside over the work in this area of ​​Beiliang Border Continent.

He, Zhang Zhouling, is not only the commander of a continent, but he also controls the general army of that continent!
It can be said that at this moment, Zhang Zhouling is completely the local emperor of this Beiliang border island.

He was in awe of Emperor Mu, the King of Divine Dynasty, who was in charge of the great destiny of the country!

But for a King You who wanted to seize some of the military achievements, he was naturally not so polite.

It's impossible that in this battle against the barbarians in Canglan grassland, both King You and Zhang Zhouling are commanding at the same time, right?
Otherwise, why would he have nothing better to do than come to this bitter and cold border island to serve as the island governor?
Why did General Xu Chonghao run away half a year ago?
It was because they could foresee that there would be subsequent wars between the barbarians and the Great Zhou, so they came early to kick people out and make plans...even some corrupt things within the border states were nothing more than indulgences.

Just wait until the time for harvest, and you will reap a big harvest!
Of course, he and the third-rank conqueror general Dong Can had been allies for a long time...

Therefore, in this war that was scheduled to take place, only King You and Zhao Yun, who accidentally broke the trap in advance, were outsiders...

However, Zhao Yun has a low status, so with some effort, he can be considered as his man now!
Therefore, when the imperial court sent King You and Dong Can over, only Dong Can's duties were clear. He needed to lead the army and be responsible for fighting, while King You's powers were relatively vague.

This phenomenon is the result of the forces behind Zhang Zhouling.

Now Zhang Zhouling needs to compete with King You for the dominant position in this war, and they must determine who is superior!

Therefore, why not dampen King You's enthusiasm and take the dominant position?

When a large-scale war with the barbarians really breaks out, it may even happen that no one can defeat the other, and then it may appear that the superiors have issued two sets of contradictory orders in succession, making it difficult for the soldiers below to execute them...

"Haha, since Zhao Yun is a meritorious official, he should be rewarded."

King You was well aware of this matter, so he did not follow Zhang Zhouling's idea and directly took out the imperial edict that belonged to Zhao Yun's reward.

Then he continued to ask: "Where is Zhao Yun? Why don't you come quickly to receive the order?"

Zhao Yun, who was in the crowd, naturally had no choice. He had also been taught etiquette by the two maids in Prince You's mansion, so he naturally knew that at this moment, since Prince You had already taken out the imperial edict, there was no reason to take it back.

So he could only shout from behind the crowd: "I am here."

The people around him also hurriedly made way for Zhao Yun so that he could walk directly in front of King You.

Zhao Yun didn't care whether the ground was covered or dirty, he just knelt on the ground and said, "We respectfully welcome the emperor's order."

King You also came out in a simple manner and recited: "I am hereby informed by the emperor: Zhao Yun of Zhaojiazhuang, Yanshan County, Beiliang Border Island, has made outstanding contributions in breaking up the barbarian tribe's plan to invade Beiliang Border Island for the past fifty years. He is awarded the title of General Breaking the Enemy, Rank 6, and can recruit 1,000 personal guards and can extract supplies from the island city... He is also concurrently appointed as the Deputy Supervisor of the Sinong Supervisor of Guihong City, Beiliang Border Island.

In addition, I was awarded a 10,000-acre spiritual farm in the capital, a house, a restaurant, etc. " "Also, the emperor specifically told me to dictate another message: Zhao Yun, although you are in the border island, if you perform exceptionally well again, you can study in the palace."

"At the same time, your property in the Divine Capital will be taken care of by the royal family until you arrive in the Divine Capital..."

What do I say about this reward?

For the people in Yanshan County, this is an extremely high-level reward!

After all, Magistrate Fang was only an eighth-rank civil official, and Commander Wang was only a seventh-rank military officer before he rebelled and was dismissed.

So Zhao Yun was directly given the sixth-rank military officer rank, which was not bad!

But in the eyes of a group of top bosses, an official of the sixth rank is just an ordinary one.

However, it is very different to allow Zhao Yun to form a personal guard of a thousand men.

Moreover, the supplies for the personal guards can be drawn from Zhou City, which is even more valuable.

In addition, the personal guards are like private soldiers, and when they are mobilized, they do not require the control of the Ministry of War and so on... This is undoubtedly the first step for Zhao Yun on the road to power.

"The minister accepts the order!"

When Zhao Yun stepped forward and took the yellow cloth imperial edict, King You also took a special look at Mr. Bajiu who was behind the crowd.

Mr. Bajiu has always been paying attention to Zhao Yun's fortune!
At this moment, Zhao Yun, who was already on the rise and had a fortune as surging as the slowly rising red sun, was suddenly enveloped by a dazzling golden light from the imperial edict.

As for the situation of luck being broken up or reorganized, there was no specific manifestation in the process of luck and official promotion this time.

It seemed that in an instant, Zhao Yun easily absorbed all the luck that enveloped him. It was really weird...

"This is unreasonable!" Mr. Bajiu screamed in his heart.

At the moment Zhao Yun received the imperial edict, he felt a huge force descending upon him.

Looking back, I found myself in an endless golden morning glow.

And his own clothing also changed in an instant:
He wears a military cap on his head with accessories such as hens' feathers, which symbolize bravery.

The main color of the daily robe he wears is scarlet, and it is decorated with dark leopard patterns representing his rank.

A sword would be hung on the belt.

The boots are thick-soled black leather boots...

There are also many mysterious people around whose faces cannot be seen.

Looking up again, I saw a deity sitting on a huge throne that connected the sky and the earth, with his face covered by a crown.

At the moment when Zhao Yun raised his head, the breeze gently blew the crown, and Zhao Yun could see the face of the giant on the throne.

At this point, Zhao Yun understood in his heart that this was Emperor Mu, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Afterwards, the crown blocked Emperor Mu's face again, and the bright light reflected in Zhao Yun's eyes, forcing him to lower his head.

Just as he lowered his head, Zhao Yun vaguely saw the boundless underworld, and he felt his mind returning to reality from the world formed by the boundless fortune gathered in the territory of the Divine Dynasty.

But when I looked up again, I could still see the world formed by that destiny, but there was a layer of hazy fog between them, so I couldn't see it clearly, nor could I get close to it.

"Interesting boy, I hope you can go further."

The giant in the destiny space spoke slowly and then disappeared again.

When Zhao Yun suddenly came to his senses, he saw two new official uniforms, a set of armor engraved with gold and silver patterns, and a treasure mirror of heaven and earth that he had seen in Master Sun's hands suddenly burst out from the imperial edict.

It’s just that the patterns on the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth seen at this time are more gorgeous, and seem to be somewhat different from the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth used by Master Sun.

However, these procedures had been specifically taught in the etiquette class, so Zhao Yun did not waste time. He first put the three things into the storage space, then rolled up the imperial edict and respectfully stepped aside from the crowd.

Immediately, Zhao Yun received congratulations from the people around him.

Zhao Yun also responded one by one, and his words were full of humility.

When everyone saw Zhao Yun's return, especially those with lower official positions than Zhao Yun, their faces were filled with sincere smiles, and their eyes were full of envy and blessings for Zhao Yun.

In addition, this imperial edict was issued by Emperor Mu alone because Zhao Yun made the greatest contribution.

The rewards for other people with meritorious services did not come directly from the emperor, but were normal rewards drawn up after consultation among the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue and other departments.

At this moment, King You's move of pulling Zhao Yun out also helped to suppress Zhang Zhouling's aggressive momentum.

Zhang Zhouling wanted to seize the right to take charge of all affairs, so King You took out the imperial edict to reward Zhao Yun alone to suppress his arrogance...

As for the rewards for others, we will have to wait for some time.

When the welcoming banquet is over this afternoon, around noon tomorrow, or at another good time, we will gather all the meritorious people together again and hold a reward ceremony.

After Zhao Yun got what he wanted, he hid himself behind the crowd and listened quietly to the stories of many people in front of him. He gradually learned some information that he didn't know before.

Also, when Zhao Yun was playing with the imperial edict in his hand, he found that there was a faint remnant of luck on it.

At the same time, this volume of imperial edict is equivalent to a real magic weapon, which has certain offensive and defensive effects!

It also has a certain suppressive effect on those creatures who do not belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty of Fortune but have entered the territory of the Great Zhou!

It is true that just one imperial edict has so many abilities, which is enough to show the profound foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty of Fortune.

Zhao Yun played with it for a while, then happily stuffed the imperial edict into his storage space and continued to listen to the verbal confrontation between the officials in front of him.
