Xiangyang District, Danyang District.
Upon learning that War Wolf had been promoted to a third-rank Marquis, Lord Chunshen's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
The rise of the Battle Wolves meant that not only had Lord Chun Shen lost to Di Chen, but he was also in danger of losing his position in the Yan Huang Alliance.
Unfortunately, Lord Chunshen was powerless.
Dan Yang County was located in Jingzhou, which was located in the south of Jingchu Province. It was thousands of miles away from Luoyang District where Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebel army were located. It was truly out of reach.
Relying on the huge amount of funds raised from his family's merchant guild, Lord Chunshen endured hardships and trained a valiant elite army. He was even more fortunate to obtain the services of the famous general of the Warring States, Tian Dan.
Unfortunately, War Wolf was still one step ahead of him.
The sullen Lord Chunshen once again smashed the things in the study to pieces.
July 14th, Dali.
Three days had passed since Du Ruhui and Cui Yingyou arrived in Dali.
The two of them first went through the Cui Family Chamber of Commerce to pull strings and build bridges to come into contact with the Minister Counsellor, Manager, and other fifth or sixth grade mid-level officials. Then, through them, they went through several twists and turns before finally forming a relationship with the important ministers in the court.
Finally, he sent a message to the Emperor through the important ministers in the court.
Just like that, he spent a lot of money and stayed for another two days before he was summoned by the Emperor of Dali.
Imperial Palace, Throne Room.
"Du Ruhui, subordinate of Marquis Lian's Mansion, greets Your Majesty!"
The emperor, who was sitting on the throne, was wearing a dragon robe. Strangely, the Emperor's face was a blur. A hazy cloud of smoke covered the Emperor's true face.
"Why have you come to see me?"
The Emperor's voice was also faintly discernible and indistinguishable.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject's lord is the Marquis of Lian Province. I deeply appreciate Your Majesty's grace in conferring this title, and I would like to present a tribute to the court," Du Ruhui said as he handed over the prepared gift list to the eunuch.
The eunuch took it and carefully handed it to the Emperor.
The Emperor opened it and looked at it expressionlessly. After a long time, he said, "It's rare for Marquis Lian to have such filial piety. I will definitely reward you. Tell me, what reward do you want, Marquis of Lian Province? "
"Your Majesty's reward is a sign of your grace. Your humble servant will not dare to disappoint you." Du Ruhui flattered him a little, then changed the topic and said, "This humble subject's lord has cut through the thorns in the wilderness and opened up the Southern Border. This is a place outside of civilization. In order to be enlightened and to honor your grace, I am willing to ask Your Majesty to clear my lord's name. "
"Marquis Lianzhou's appetite is quite big!"
What kind of person was the Emperor? He immediately understood the meaning of Du Ruhui's words.
"Your humble servant does not dare to be greedy. I am only willing to help Your Majesty expand the territory and be a minister."
"Minister of the pastoral lands?!" The Emperor's meaning was unclear.
"…"
Du Ruhui didn't respond. At this time, silence was golden.
After a long time, the Emperor of Dali casually glanced at the list again and said, "I approve!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Du Ruhui was overjoyed. She had not let down the Marquis's great trust.
At the same time, Quanzhou.
Unlike Du Ruhui and Cui Yingyou, Wei Yang and Jing Jian's trip was much smoother.
Not for anything else, but because they brought a special gift, which was a statue of Mazu that had received incense offerings from the Mazu Temple.
The people of Quanzhou had been looking forward to this statue for a long time.
Ouyang Shuo's gift of the statue of Mazu was equivalent to blocking a large number of tourists for Shanhai City.
What a heartache!
The Quanzhou Emperor personally attended the foundation laying ceremony of the Quanzhou Mazu Temple. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Yang was successfully summoned by the Quanzhou Emperor.
The following answers were almost exactly the same.
For the Emperor, conferring a Protector-General was not a loss. After all, the wilderness was not their territory. Instead, they could receive such a generous annual tribute, so why not?
Of course, Ouyang Shuo's title of nobility also played a crucial role.
He was the first Marquis in the world to be conferred the title of Marquis.
Shanhai City also had the halo of being the world's number one county.
All these factors superimposed on each other and finally led to this matter.
The calculations involved were not as simple as one might imagine. Even Baihua and Feng Qiuhuang had been conferred the title, so it was almost impossible for them to receive the same treatment.
Of course, compared to Di Chen and the others, Baihua and Feng Qiuhuang still had an advantage.
16th of the seventh month, Shanhai City.
Two envoys returned to Shanhai City, bringing with them two imperial edicts from the Emperor.
Ouyang Shuo received the two imperial edicts and heard the sound of a system notification.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Don't Say You Have Nothing to Wear. You have been conferred the title of Southern Border Protector-General by both the Emperor of Dali and the Emperor of Quanzhou. Approved. Do you accept the appointment?"
"Yes!"
"System Notification: The appointment of Southern Border Protector-General has been successful. You will be granted an exclusive Protector-General seal!"
With a swoosh, the two imperial edicts in Ouyang Shuo's hands turned into a ray of golden light and fused together. When the golden light dissipated, a noble golden seal appeared in his hands.
The Southern Border Protector-General's golden seal was even more exquisite than Ouyang Shuo's [Lianzhou Marquis Seal].
From now on, the [Lianzhou Marquis Seal] would be Ouyang Shuo's personal seal. The official seal would be the [Southern Border Protector-General Golden Seal].
[Name]: Southern Border Protector-General Golden Seal (Dark Gold)
[Type]: Accessory
[Characteristics]: Guards the Southern Border (The territory under the jurisdiction of the Lord is no longer limited by the size of the territory. The entire Southern Border will be guarded by the Golden Seal, receiving the protection and approval of the Imperial Court.)
[Evaluation]: With this Golden Seal, the Lord can establish his own residence and freely appoint and dismiss subordinates.
The effect of the [Southern Border Protector-General Golden Seal] was reflected in the special characteristic of guarding the Southern Border. Once it received the protection and approval of the Imperial Court, the people of Jingzhou County, Leizhou County, and other conquered territories would rapidly rise.
The resistance of the local old forces would also weaken by more than a level.
Justifiable, justifiable. This was a situation like this.
Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to obtain such an official position.
Just as Ouyang Shuo was looking at the attributes of the Golden Seal, he heard another system notification.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Not Saying That You Have No Clothes. It has been detected that the [Southern Border Protector-General Golden Seal] and the [Lianzhou Marquis Seal] can be fused with the [Qilin Golden Seal], facilitating the unsealing of the [Qilin Golden Seal]. Do you want to fuse them? "
Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed. There was such a good thing.
"Fuse!"
Ouyang Shuo didn't have any hesitation. The [Golden Qilin Seal] was the key to establishing a country. If it could be unsealed as soon as possible, Ouyang Shuo would do anything.
"System notification: Congratulations to player Don't Say You Have No Clothes. The [Southern Border Protector-General Golden Seal] and the [Lianzhou Marquis Seal] have successfully fused with the [Golden Qilin Seal]. The two seals have disappeared. The [Golden Qilin Seal]'s attributes have changed. Please check for yourself!"
With a whoosh, the two seals turned into two rays of golden light and entered the [Golden Qilin Seal]. Under the baptism of the golden light, the dim surface of the [Golden Qilin Seal] became bright.
[Name]: Qilin Seal (Purple Gold)
[Type]: Accessory
[Characteristics]: Demon Suppression and Exorcism (Untainted by all evils, demons retreat)
[Characteristics]: Guards the Southern Border (The territory under the jurisdiction of the Lord is no longer limited by the size of the territory. The entire Southern Border will be guarded by the Golden Seal, receiving the protection and approval of the Imperial Court.)
[Characteristics]: Marquis Seal (Increases the popularity of the territory by 10)
[Characteristics]: Fortune Infusion (The Golden Qilin Seal is blessed by the two positions of "Southern Border Protector-General" and "Lianzhou Marquis". It will continue to guide the fortune of the territory and the popularity of the people into the Golden Seal, helping to unseal it. The higher the popularity of the territory and the larger the territory, the faster the speed of unsealing.)
[Evaluation]: This is a sealed Emperor's Golden Seal. It can only be unsealed by the soul of the Guardian Qilin. After it is completely unsealed, it can suppress the fortune of a country. It is a supreme treasure.
So that's how it is. The function of the two Golden Seals is to inject the fortune of the territory.
Fortune, dragon veins, and other Fengshui theories have always been vague and inconclusive, but they do exist. When Gaia integrated Fengshui information, it introduced the setting of Fengshui into the game.
For the players, the [Source of Fortune] in the innate attribute was actually a materialization of fortune.
And for the Lord, what was important was the fortune of the territory, and the future was the fortune of the dynasty. If the fortune was strong, the country would prosper and the people would be at peace. If the fortune was weak, there would be a catastrophe, and the people would have no way to live.
Therefore, in the past dynasties, there was a saying of auspiciousness.
In the game, the fortune was linked to the level of governance of the territory and the popularity of the people. Gaia wanted to guide the Lord to pay attention to the popularity of the territory through the setting of "Fortune".
The popularity of the people was the greatest and strongest fortune.
At the same time, the fortune of the territory would feed back to the Lord. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo's [Source of Fortune] would gradually be strengthened with the strength of the territory, and it would no longer be as unlucky as it was now.
In short, it was a two-way symbiotic relationship.
After the fusion, the [Qilin Golden Seal] not only integrated the characteristics of the [Southern Border Protector-General Golden Seal], but also the characteristics of the [Lianzhou Marquis Seal] — [Marquis].
It had to be said that this was the effect of one plus one equals two. This fusion was similar to the fusion of the title of the territory.
After the fusion, Ouyang Shuo's seal became the only [Qilin Golden Seal], and there was no distinction between public and private.
After the [Qilin Golden Seal] was fused, a system announcement sounded in the China server.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to the Marquis of Lianzhou for being conferred the title of Southern Border Protector-General by the Dali Imperial Court and Quanzhou Imperial Court. Marquis of Lianzhou is allowed to establish the Southern Border Protectorate."
…
As soon as the announcement came out, the players were completely confused. At first glance, the title of "Southern Border Protector-General" seemed to be very arrogant, but the players didn't know what it was for.
However, since it could trigger the system announcement, the players knew that there must be a hidden meaning behind it. As expected of the Marquis of Lianzhou, he could always make unexpected achievements.
Compared to the adventurer players, the Lord players were much more attentive.
In particular, Di Chen and the others were even more attentive, trying to guess the deeper meaning behind it.
As for Bai Hua and the others, Ouyang Shuo directly informed them.
Immediately, they made a fuss, wanting to seek the position of provincial governor. (To be continued.)
