The Golden Horde Kingdom had the intention to retreat. By the time Su Xin, Pang Yuande, and the others rushed back to the Zhou Kingdom, the war in Beijiang was almost over.
There were no more large-scale battles between the two sides. There were only some small-scale conflicts.
As soon as Su Xin and Pang Yuande arrived in Shengjing City, they immediately held a ceremony to welcome Su Xin and Pang Yuande into the city.
In the war between the Zhou Kingdom and the Golden Horde Kingdom, the most eye-catching thing was not the experts of the Real Martial Realm, such as Tie Ao, who fought on the battlefield in Beijiang, but Su Xin and Pang Yuande, who opened up the situation in the Central Plains.
Pang Yuande's performance could only be said to be average, and no one could find any fault with him. However, Su Xin was very amazing.
Not only did he successfully unite the Seven Gangs, but he had also joined forces with the experts of the Seven Gangs to kill Mo Ge, who was in the Real Martial Realm. This was enough to greatly damage the vitality of the Golden Horde Kingdom. It was uncertain whether they could recover to their current peak state in the future.
Therefore, the welcoming ceremony this time was also focused on Su Xin, and Pang Yuande was not jealous.
After all, Su Xin's achievements were there for all to see, and he would be able to obtain quite a bit of merit as well. At the very least, he would be able to use this merit to secure his position as the fourth great general of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After Su Xin entered the city, some of the martial artists in Shengjing City focused their attention on Su Xin. Pang Yuande, who was next to him, was directly ignored.
After all, this person in front of them had killed an earth immortal of the Real Martial Realm. If he had killed a legendary figure, wouldn't this person in front of them be like a legend?
Although the main reason why Su Xin was able to kill Mo Ge was that Mo Ge was seriously injured, and the other reason was that he had joined forces with the Seven Gangs. They also helped to share a lot of the firepower, but the others didn't care about that. They only cared about the fact that Su Xin had killed Mo Ge.
Just like the Seven Gangs, every gang member thought that their Gang Leader was the one who did the most after Su Xin. As a member of the Zhou Kingdom, Su Xin's group of martial artists in Shengjing City also thought that Su Xin had basically turned the tide in killing Mo Ge. As for the other members of the Seven Gangs, they were basically just bystanders.
Six Fan School, who knew the truth of the matter, did not come forward to explain it. Instead, they added fuel to the fire in the dark.
Su Xin was a warrior from the Zhou Kingdom as well as a member of the Six Fan School. The more powerful he was in Jianghu, the more beneficial it would be for both parties.
After entering the city, Su Xin and Pang Yuande did not delay and were directly called to the palace.
At this time, in the palace's meeting hall, the people of the Six Fan School, the military, the Imperial Consecration Hall, and the people of the Ji Royal Family were all present. However, the weakest among them was at the Harmonious God Realm.
Seeing Su Xin and Pang Yuande come in, Ji Xuanyuan suddenly laughed and said, "The two heroes are finally back. Right now, the Golden Horde Kingdom has decided to retreat. Later tonight, I will arrange a celebration banquet to welcome you."
Su Xin and Pang Yuande hurriedly cupped their hands and said a few humble words.
Ji Xuanyuan looked at Su Xin and said, "Lord Su, where is Mo Ge's head? This time, the Golden Horde Kingdom dared to invade our Central Plains. In the end, a True Martial Realm expert died. It's time to teach them a lesson.
It just so happens that Mo Ge's head is here. I am going to sacrifice it to the Ancestral Temple as a show of strength to the Golden Horde Kingdom. "
The head of a dignified True Martial Realm expert was used as a sacrifice to the ancestors worshiped in the Zhou Kingdom's Ancestral Temple. This behavior could definitely be regarded as an insult.
However, it didn't matter. Anyway, the Zhou Kingdom and the Golden Horde Kingdom had long been enemies. If the Golden Horde Kingdom won this time, they would definitely do more than the Zhou Kingdom.
Therefore, Su Xin directly took out Mo Ge's head and handed it to Ji Xuanyuan.
This time, when everyone entered the palace, it actually involved another matter, and that was the reward.
This time, the Zhou Kingdom was united and finally repelled the Golden Horde Kingdom. Naturally, the warriors who had made contributions had to be rewarded. Moreover, from top to bottom, they had to take care of everything.
This time, the four major military groups of the Zhou Kingdom had already participated in the war. The rewards for warriors below the Harmonious God Realm only needed to be reported to Tie Zhan, Lin Zongyue, and the others. Naturally, it was up to them to decide.
As for the rewards above the Harmonious God Realm, everyone needed to discuss together, and finally, the current emperor, Ji Yancheng, had to agree.
Things like rewards were a grand event. Everyone present was a little tempted, especially Pang Yuande. The position of the fourth Great General was going to be his.
However, although Pang Yuande was excited, he didn't say much at this time. With his and Su Xin's status, they would definitely be rewarded last.
Sure enough, after the others had been rewarded, Lin Zongyue was the first to speak, "Right now, the Zhou Kingdom has three Great Generals. I am responsible for guarding Shengjing City, Great General Xue is in seclusion, and Xiang Chukuang is responsible for guarding the border of Eastern Jin.
This time, the invasion of the Golden Horde Kingdom has also warned us. The Golden Horde Kingdom will not give up on us. Therefore, the Zhou Kingdom must strictly guard the northern border.
I propose to confer Pang Yuande the title of Great General of Divine Strategies. He will be stationed at the northern border and defend against the Golden Horde Kingdom. "
Tie Zhan, Ji Xuanyuan, and the few people from the Imperial Worship Hall all nodded.
As long as the military agreed on this matter, basically no one would object. Six Doors had a good relationship with the military, and the royal family had also seen Pang Yuande's strength and ability. It was not too much to confer him the title of Great General.
As for the Imperial Worship Hall, although Zhao Wunian didn't care about it, the few Imperial Worship Hall were stationed at the border of the other Zhou Kingdom. They rarely came to Shengjing City, and they rarely interfered with the power affairs of the Zhou Kingdom. Therefore, they naturally wouldn't object.
As a result, Pang Yuande was successfully conferred the title of the fourth Great General of the Zhou Kingdom, Great General of Divine Strategies.
After conferring Pang Yuande, the most troublesome one was actually Su Xin.
Su Xin could be said to have contributed the most to the invasion of the Golden Horde Kingdom.
From inviting Suo Nanche to joining forces with the Seven Gangs, and finally killing Mo Ge, it could be said that if Su Xin hadn't been there, the war in the Central Plains would not have ended so quickly. Therefore, the reward given to Su Xin was much greater than that given to Pang Yuande.
However, this was also the problem.
Su Xin was different from Pang Yuande. Pang Yuande was only the Chief of the Northern Army, and there were still positions above him that could be conferred.
For example, although he was now the Great General of Divine Strategies, he was only the last among the four Great Generals of the Zhou Kingdom. If he made more contributions, he would not be promoted again, but he would also get more power and be in charge of the area. It would not be like what he was now. Even if he got the position of Great General, he still had to defend the northern border.
However, when it came to Su Xin, it was a little difficult because Su Xin's status was not comparable to Pang Yuande's.
Su Xin still had the position of one of the four Super Arresters in Six Fan School. Pang Yuande had started his own business in the northwest and established the Shadow Guard. He was also the military governor of Northwest Province. It could be said that he already had a lot of power in Northwest Province. What else could they give to Su Xin? Do I have to give him another piece of land?
Although there were still some territories in the Zhou Kingdom that surrendered to the Zhou Kingdom on the surface, in fact, they did not obey the Zhou Kingdom. They could give these territories to Su Xin and let him settle them. However, in that case, Su Xin's power would be greater, and he would even be a country within a country. This was absolutely intolerable to the Royal Family of the Zhou Kingdom. Therefore, how should he reward Su Xin? For a moment, Ji Xuanyuan could not make up his mind. The reward he was preparing for Su Xin was also stuck.
However, at this moment, a warrior in the Yang God Realm from the Imperial Executive Hall suddenly said, "Master, wait a minute. Lord Su has indeed made great contributions. That's right, but can Lord Su explain how Han Jiangli of the Imperial Executive Hall died?"
Su Xin narrowed his eyes and glanced at this person. This person had a square appearance, was dressed in white, and had a serious expression. At first glance, he could tell that he was a strong-willed and stubborn person.
This person was the Yang God Realm Executive Hall of the Imperial Executive Hall, 'Thunder of the Ninth Heaven' Gongsun Du. He had always been guarding the Western Region.
This person was also a senior Executive of the Zhou Kingdom, but his reputation in Jianghu was not as great as Han Jiangli's. After all, Han Jiangli was famous for courting death in Jianghu in the past.
Su Xin had never dealt with him before. He had only heard of his name. It was even the first time they had met, but he suddenly mentioned the cause of Han Jiangli's death. This made Su Xin's eyes suddenly narrow, and he looked at him with an unknown meaning.
Jianghu was very realistic, and the imperial court was also very realistic.
When Han Jiangli was alive, he was a Royal Executive of the Zhou Kingdom, and he was of the highest rank. Although he could not be compared in terms of power, his status was completely comparable to Su Xin's.
However, the problem was that Han Jiangli was now dead. It was announced that he had died in an ambush by the Golden Horde Kingdom. In this kind of war, even the existence of the Real Martial Realm had fallen. What was the Yang God Realm?
Therefore, no one had mentioned this matter from the beginning, and no one had cared about it.
If Han Jiangli had a son or disciple, it would be fine. The Great Zhou Dynasty might even treat Han Jiangli's son or disciple well in order to show the imperial court's generosity to their own people. However, Han Jiangli did not have such a son or disciple, so he was almost forgotten now. What did Gongsun Du mean when he suddenly mentioned it? Moreover, judging from his tone earlier, it was obvious that he was targeting Su Xin.
The most important thing was that even Su Xin himself did not understand why Gongsun Du was targeting him.
Han Jiangli was famous for his bad temper, and he did not have any good friends in the Zhou Kingdom.
Moreover, Gongsun Du was a Royal Executive in charge of guarding the Western Regions, while Han Jiangli was a Royal Executive in charge of guarding the Northern Frontier. The two of them were in the Western Regions, and it was possible that they would not see each other for several years. The two sides did not have any conflicts, so why was Gongsun Du targeting him? Su Xin did not understand.
