Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 842 - 778: Imperial Seal of the God of War!
Zhang San immediately took Wang Bo and crawled out from the tent.
"No, the envoy of Kaihuang, I don’t need to meet him, right? And it’s not necessarily me he’s here to see."
Wang Bo still wanted to continue researching his Rune Array in his tent and had no desire to come out.
That’s how tech geeks are, always preferring to do things in their rooms that they don’t want others to see.
"Third Brother, trust me, come along, there will definitely be benefits. Just remember to keep your eyes wide open!"
Saying this, Zhang San pulled Wang Bo and went to the front gate of the military camp.
At this moment, Li Shangfa was there with Wang Ziteng and several military officials to welcome the envoy of Kaihuang.
Even the Three Lizard Brothers came out then.
The envoy of Kaihuang saw Zhang San arriving and knew all the important people were present, so he promptly began reading the imperial edict.
All officials knelt on the ground to listen to the edict, leaving the Three Lizard Brothers looking at the suddenly kneeling crowd, confused.
Zhang San gestured to the three of them, finally making them understand his intentions, and they immediately knelt along with everyone else.
The envoy of Kaihuang read the imperial edict, firstly affirming the achievements of the garrison at Julong Pass in resisting the army of 280,000 from the Thirty-Six Nations of the Western Regions, and then expressing immense praise for the western expedition, which successfully made all Thirty-Six Nations surrender.
Next came the bestowal of rewards.
The rewards were naturally various precious items, many of which nobody could even name, but just hearing the names indicated they were definitely good stuff.
As for Li Shangfa, he was directly given the title of Minister of the West!
Duke!
Directly awarded a duke!
At this moment, Li Shangfa felt that his family’s grandfather had to be bursting with seven-colored smoke!
It’s a duke!
Then, Li Shangfa, full of joy, looked towards Zhang San’s direction, eyes full of satisfied gratitude.
After all, without Zhang San, he wouldn’t have dared lead the troops out for pursuit, much less end up with the title of duke.
Zhang San glanced at Li Shangfa, utterly confused why being given the name "straw" would make a man so happy.
Does he really like straws that much?
Seems like I need to keep some distance from this dangerous guy in the future.
Next, Wang Ziteng’s Sui Army expedition also garnered great military honors, and he was given the title of Marquis of the Western Pacification.
Wang Ziteng at that time in the military rank only could be considered a brigadier, so naturally, his merits couldn’t compete with Li Shangfa thus only a marquis.
But Zhang San knew that in the later battles, whenever there was the matter of killing a king, it was Wang Ziteng doing it because he had lent him the Imperial Sword.
Thus, although the marquis was a reward, fear not, in the Town Martial Office later on, there’s still room for promotion.
At this moment, not far from Zhang San, Wang Ziteng looked at him full of joy and asked, "Brother San, you see I’m so young and can be a marquis now, might I later rise to duke, or even possibly an unrelated king?"
Zhang San forced a smile, wanting to tell his sixth brother, that the title King of Western Pacification isn’t precisely a good name.
Next came the rewards for Zhang San.
Zhang San was already Duke Beyond the Law, so there was no change in terms of title.
However, the quantity of rewards was still extremely abundant, even greater than the combined rewards for Li Shangfa and Wang Ziteng.
Clearly, Kaihuang also knew that for now, he couldn’t advance Zhang San any further in nobility, so he could only increase material rewards.
After all three received their rewards, the envoy brought out another imperial edict.
Zhang San nudged Wang Bo, who was feeling sleepy beside him and softly reminded, "Third Brother, watch closely."
Wang Bo knew Zhang San wouldn’t waste his time without reason, so if Zhang San made him watch, there must be significance in paying close attention.
Thus, Wang Bo widened his eyes while activating the Triple Combat Talisman on them, enabling himself to capture any surrounding nuances, even the tiniest changes in Qi.
Then, the envoy read aloud following the contents of the imperial edict.
All three Lizard Brothers were given the title of duke.
Moreover, they were also pronounced as the war gods of the Longyou Army by Kaihuang!
As the words "war god" left the envoy’s mouth, Wang Bo keenly noticed a wisp of the Imperial Path Qi Luck permeate out, transforming into a special force that merged into the surrounding air and then locked onto the Three Lizard Brothers.
The Positions of the three brothers gained further empowerment.
This boost wasn’t from the Position empowerment of the All Things Path, nor the boost from the Path of Ghosts and Gods, not even from the Imperial Path.
At that moment, within Wang Bo’s vision enhanced by the formation, he saw the Three Lizard Brothers enveloped in a special force of Position.
Seemingly merging three distinct paths, yet amplifying each path significantly.
"I understand now! Dominion over the Six Paths was never simply about combining the paths together. It’s a matter of not just inclusion, but cooperation, correspondence, and even combination!"
At this moment, Wang Bo had an epiphany!
Following the Three Lizard Brothers’ investiture as war gods of Longyou Road by Kaihuang, they began accepting offerings from various military posts along Longyou Road.
This matter quickly spread among the Demon Clan of Longyou Road.
Prominent and respected figures among the Demon Clan jumped up to criticize the Three Lizard Brothers for reneging on the All Things Path.
Simultaneously, they dispatched their own Little Demons to investigate how to establish a connection with the Great Sui.
It could be said that this sparked internal upheaval among the demon clans of Longyou Road.
However, a few demon clans arriving from the Northeast direction at Longwang Road were still unaware of the happenings at Longyou Road.
"Hu, others cry their hearts out when marrying off a daughter, why are you so pleased?"
"Exactly! Xiang is usually so filial, what’s going on with you as her father?"
At this moment, a black and a white Great Demon looked at the old man walking ahead, dissatisfied.
Yet the old man looked utterly proud and cheerful.
"Heh heh... You folks just don’t get it! Back then Xiang liked a human race man! Can humans have anything good? You wouldn’t know how worried I was as a grandfather!"
The two Great Demons felt the prior words made some sense, but hearing Hu’s latter opportunistic gloat, they kicked him right on the behind.
Hu immediately dodged, laughing with delight as he continued, "So, when we got the news this time about tying the knot with the North Wind Wolf King of Longyou Road, you can’t imagine how happy I was!"
Beside him, a female Great Demon reminded, "Couldn’t it be Xiang had a spat with that human race male, and so that All Things Path supreme demon is deliberately provoked?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Hu declared with full certainty, "This time, Xiang even mentioned in her letter asking me to prepare more dowry, saying we mustn’t lose face! This surely means a matrimony is happening!"
Speaking of which, Hu smirked.
"Come to think of it, my future son-in-law is a Wolf Demon, and Wolf Demons probably aren’t much different from dogs, are they? That sounds quite adorable!"
"Anyway, as long as my Xiang doesn’t fall for a human race, I’m happy!"
