Chapter 837: Emperor Xia’s Marriage
The Xia Emperor asked again,” Can you destroy the Nanman Kingdom, the Sorcerer Tribe, and other small countries and tribes?
“Yes! However, the casualties are huge, and the gains are not proportional to the losses.”
Previously, when the Nanman Kingdom’s envoy came over, they had seen their soldiers. Their physiques were very strong and their strength was sufficient. In terms of physical fitness alone, they were inferior to the conventional military forces of Great Xia.
Even ordinary people who lived in harsh environments for many years would become physically stronger. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire country was filled with soldiers.
“If I let you train your soldiers, will you be able to make the physique of a regular army comparable to those of these foreign races?” the Xia Emperor continued to ask.
“I’ve just been transferred to the Imperial Censorate, and I haven’t even sat down properly yet. If I were to be transferred again, and it’s in the military, wouldn’t it be inappropriate?”
“Yes or no?”
Facing Emperor Xia’s dignified and pressing gaze, Zhang Ronghua did not boast.” We’ll only know if it works after we try!”
“Do you know what I like about you?” The Xia Emperor laughed again.
“I don’t know!”
“Confidence!”
“Your Majesty has nurtured him well.”
“I heard that after the Flood Dragon Guards cultivated the Universal Sword Array, their strength doubled?”
” There might still be some flaws in the Universal Sword Array,” Zhang Ronghua said.” I’ll write it down from memory. Please give me some pointers, Eunuch Wei.”
Wei Shang’s Sumeru Pouch was like a hundred treasure pouch, containing everything.
He took out the Four Treasures of the Study and placed them on the desk.
Zhang Ronghua picked up a pen and started writing.
Soon, he finished writing down the Universal Sword Formation and handed it over.
Wei Shang pretended to catch it and looked at it seriously. It was simple and clear. It was clearly a top-grade Mystic sword formation, but the power it emitted was so powerful. It was easy to cultivate and did not require talent. As long as one focused on it, they could cultivate it to a profound level.
After reading it.
The respect he had for Zhang Ronghua rose to another level. This young man was extremely talented and was rarely seen in the past. In the entire Great Xia, even the entire continent, including the old teacher, he was probably incomparable to him.
He silently put it away and nodded at His Majesty.
The Xia Emperor felt a headache coming on. He couldn’t possibly accept such a huge gift without showing any gratitude, could he? However, Zhang Ronghua didn’t seem to lack anything. He had just been promoted, and he had a mansion. Including the Azure Dragon Lane, he had seven properties and even more spiritual treasures. Shimin even gave him the Black Yellow Qi Chaos Armor and the Golden Dragon Sword. It could attack and defend, and it was powerful. He also didn’t lack any cultivation techniques or divine arts.
After a while, he said,” The carriage and a Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse. Reward: 1,000 taels of gold. Thirty pots of Heavenly Jade Wine, a pair of jade ruyi, and two catties of top-grade Red Lotus Grape Tea.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Zhang Ronghua stood up and bowed.
“Is dinner ready?” the Xia Emperor asked.
“It’s ready!” Wei Shang said.
“We’ll go back after eating,” the Xia Emperor said.
Wei Shang ordered for the dishes to be served. He knew that they had big appetites. There were a total of twelve dishes, ten of which were cooked with True Spirit Meat, and two ordinary dishes. The former was for Zhang Ronghua and Ding Yi, while the latter was for Emperor Xia himself.
An hour later.
The two of them left side by side. Ding Yi burped and rubbed his belly.
“It’s indeed not bad,” Zhang Ronghua agreed.
He thought about what would happen tomorrow.
The smile on Ding Yi’s face disappeared and he collapsed.” Brother, you’re so smart. Give me some advice.”
“You should ask Chang ‘an,” Zhang Ronghua shrugged.
“That’s true! But there’s not enough time. It’s already dark. We can’t go now, right?”
” Huo Jingyun should know about such a big matter. Let’s go to Heavenly Earth to find him and get to the bottom of it.”
“Alright!”
“Wait for me at the mansion tomorrow,” said Zhang Ronghua.
As he spoke, he arrived at the Vermillion Bird Sect. Wei Shang had given him the rest of the rewards before he left. He still lacked a top-notch Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse. Cao Xing stood at the city gate, holding the horse and waiting.
” Greetings, Sir!” He quickly greeted them and cupped his fists.
He said again.
“His Majesty asked me to give this to you.”
“Yes.”
The Vermilion Bird Gate was already closed, and they exited through the side door.
The two of them separated.
Zhang Ronghua rode on his Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse and rushed toward the Vermilion Bird Square’s mansion.
At the entrance of the courtyard.
A beautiful figure wearing a sky-blue dress was pacing with her hands behind her back. She looked calm and confident, but in fact, there was helplessness and uneasiness hidden in the depths of her beautiful eyes.
Whether a person was in a mess or not depended on her heart. If her heart was in a mess, then so be it.
Shi Xueyuan was obviously like this. No matter how well she hid it, she could not hide the panic in her heart. Not long ago, she received a letter from Su Qiutang. The person who sent the letter was stern and represented Su Qiutang’s attitude. She told her that so many days had passed, why was there no progress? Zheng Rou couldn’t be taken down, and she couldn’t even enter the Zhang family’s main gate. Zhang Ronghua was the same. He had lost his patience and had given an ultimatum. If there was no progress, the punishment would be handed down. Before the person left, he left something behind.
Thinking of how terrifying Daren was, Shi Xueyuan did not dare to resist. She gritted her teeth, took a bath, and dressed up meticulously. She wore a hairpin, earrings, and jewelry before coming over.
After arriving.
When Uncle Shi saw her, he recalled Zhang Ronghua’s instructions and chased her away. He blocked her outside and didn’t even let her enter the door.
The night breeze blew by. Beside her was the Meditation Lake. The humidity was very heavy, causing her hair to flutter in the wind. Her beautiful eyes looked ahead, and she was anxious. Why was she not back yet?
Based on Zhang Ronghua’s understanding, he would only come back very late every day after work. Did he have to wait until dawn?
He sighed helplessly.
He continued to wait. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to finish Su Qiutang’s mission first.
As time passed.
Under the bright moonlight, a gentle light suddenly appeared. A Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse was approaching, and Zhang Ronghua was riding on it.
