"What? National Protector General? The same rank as the Duke? "
Luo Ping didn't think that the king would give him the title of Country Protector General. This was something that had never happened in the history of the Wind Origin Country. It could be said that his name would be recorded in the history books.
Generally speaking, if an ordinary soldier wanted to slowly climb to the position of a general, it would take at least a few decades. Even the fastest would take more than a decade.
It was even more difficult for a Great General to be conferred the title of Duke unless he made a great contribution to the country and saved the country from a crisis or won several major battles.
Although Luo Ping did save the country, he didn't have an official position. Even if he was a young master, it wasn't enough for him to be conferred the title of Duke. That's why Luo Ping's reaction was so intense.
"Grandpa, this … is the Emperor mistaken?"
Luo Ping asked with uncertainty as he held the Imperial Edict in his hand in the meeting hall of the county office.
"Hey, Ping 'er, the Emperor is a man of his words. How could he make a mistake? The reason why he conferred the title is very profound. If grandpa's guess is right, there are at least three reasons."
When Luo Haoyu heard Luo Ping's question, he quickly expressed his opinion and guessed the Emperor's intention.
"Three reasons? Grandpa, what are the three reasons? "
Luo Ping also had some ideas in his heart but he wasn't very sure. That's why he wanted to hear his grandpa's opinion and verify it.
"First, of course it's because you saved the country's fate, repelled the armies of other countries, and destroyed the instigator, the Proud Nation. Moreover, you added a lot of wealth to the country, and strengthened the relationship with other countries. Each of these contributions is extraordinary."
"As for the second reason, it may also be because of your fourth uncle. After all, your fourth uncle was captured by the Great Ao Nation and his life was almost in danger. As the Prime Minister, your fourth uncle's position is already extremely high. There is no room for rewards, so the King will also transfer his rewards to you."
Luo Ping felt that what Luo Haoyu said made sense. Before Luo Haoyu could say the third point, he said it first.
"As for the third point, it's because of Big Brother Zong. I'm afraid that after this incident, the Monarch has the intention to make Big Brother Zong the successor. He knows that my relationship with Big Brother Zong is not ordinary, so he intends to use the title to make me serve Big Brother Zong wholeheartedly. This step can be said to be very far-sighted! "
"Sigh, Ping 'er, you can't say that. The Monarch is doing this for the sake of the country. After all, if a new Monarch ascends the throne and the foundation is not stable, it will be easy for a rebellion to occur. If there are no trusted aides and troops, it will be difficult to convince the masses and suppress them. The Monarch is doing this because he values and trusts you very much."
Luo Haoyu thought that Luo Ping had some thoughts about the Monarch's decision and immediately explained. Luo Ping also expressed his own thoughts.
"Grandfather, don't worry. Grandson knows the relationship between the two. As long as Big Brother Zong can ascend the throne, Luo Ping will also be happy for him. If there is a need for me, Grandson will definitely not shrink back."
"Haha, that's good. It seems that our Luo Family will have a meteoric rise from now on. All of you should also learn from Ping 'er. What you shouldn't think of, what you shouldn't do, throw it all away and work together to build the family. "
While Luo Haoyu was happy, he did not forget to use this opportunity to educate the other members of the family.
In the discussion hall, Luo Mingshuang and her husband were of course full of smiles. They were incomparably proud of Luo Ping. As for Luo Minglei, his face was still as gloomy as ever. In his eyes, Luo Ping was no longer just a thorn in his side, but a heart that needed to be removed as soon as possible.
When the imperial edict was sent to the county office, Luo Minglei could not believe his ears. This was because he really could not understand why the Monarch would confer such a great title to Luo Ping.
Since the matter had already reached this stage, there was no way to change it. He could only face the truth. However, his desire to get rid of Ye Futian became even stronger …
The other members of the family, from the initial disbelief to the current reality, all had different opinions about Luo Ping. At this moment, all of them were sitting in the discussion hall with their own thoughts.
After the end of the family meeting, Luo Ping could not wait to begin his closed-door cultivation. Although the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Mortal Domain was abnormally scarce, it was still better than nothing. If he could increase his strength a little, he would be able to contribute more in the upcoming confrontation.
After all, the murderer's methods were too cruel. Although Luo Ping was not a kind person, he did not wish for innocent people to die tragically. Therefore, it was imperative for him to cultivate in closed-door cultivation.
During this period of time, it could be said that major events in the Wind Origin Nation were constantly spreading. Throughout the entire nation, there were shocking news one after another. Among them, the name of a young man was firmly remembered by the people of the nation.
First of all, of course, it was the withdrawal of the troops of the various countries. The crisis of the nation was resolved. Furthermore, the alliance of the various countries to eliminate the main culprit, the Great Proud Nation. This caused the people of the nation to be endlessly jubilant, singing and dancing.
At the same time, the name of a young man gradually spread to the ears of the people of the nation along with the withdrawal of the army. For a time, the people of the nation were filled with admiration for this young man who had saved the nation.
Soon after, the news spread out in the martial arts world. The Villa Master of the Onyx Villa, Hei Feng, was relieved of his position as the Villa Master and the Martial Arts Alliance Leader at the same time. Moreover, the new Villa Master and Martial Arts Alliance Leader had already been chosen. Coincidentally, the candidate for the Martial Arts Alliance Leader was also a young man. Moreover, his name had already been deeply engraved in the hearts of the people.
A few days after this matter, another imperial edict was announced to the world. The news of the young man being conferred the title of 'Protector of the Nation' was announced to the public. It was to commend the young man for his peerless achievements.
… … …
"Boss, give me one of every book related to Luo Ping. I want to bring them back to my grandson to read."
"Alright, Squire Wang. There are a total of 36 books. Take them well."
Squire Wang asked the servants to take the books and left the bookstore with satisfaction. The boss of the bookstore put down the silver in his hand and looked at the books in front of him as if he was looking at his lover. He kept stroking the books in front of him.
From 'On How to Become a Young Man Like Luo Ping' to 'Luo Ping's Quotations', from 'Luo Ping' to 'The History of the Protector of the Nation' to 'The Inner World of Luo Ping', almost every book was a bestseller. It was easy to sell thousands of copies a day.
"Grandpa, hurry up. If we are slow, we will miss it. Today's show is about General Luo Ping's deeds of wisdom. We will miss it if we are late."
"Oh, grandson, grandpa is already 80 years old. How can I run fast? If we can't catch up, we will watch it next time."
"Grandpa, you don't know. The price of the tickets has been inflated. If I didn't buy it early, I would not have been able to afford it. If we miss it, we will not have the chance to watch it."
"What? Then hurry up. "
After saying that, the grandfather and grandson trotted all the way to the theater.
… …..
In short, the news about Luo Ping was everywhere in the Fengyuan Country. At the same time, another important matter caused a stir in the country.
That is, the new 'Challenge Tournament' is about to begin. Due to the internal strife three years ago and the border war, the 'Battle of the Champion' did not go smoothly. Therefore, this time's Challenge Tournament is different from the past.
According to the contents of the list, the contestants who were qualified to participate in the 'Battle of the Champion' in the previous competition can participate in three competitions this time. As long as they win the competition, they will be rewarded.
Moreover, the 'Battle of the Champion' in the previous competition will not be canceled. The next two competitions will be held one after the other. If someone wins two competitions at the same time, they will receive double the reward.
When the list was released, it caused a stir in the country. Many martial artists realized that this competition will be the most competitive one. At the same time, it will be the best opportunity to become famous.
Therefore, under everyone's expectations, the 'Challenge Tournament' finally arrived. Nandan County became lively again.
At this time, Luo Ping did not care about the outside world at all. Instead, he was seriously cultivating in a specially built secret room.
Due to his cultivation technique, although he was only a beginner Martial General when he went into closed-door cultivation, his overall strength was already close to that of a peak Martial King. He was also able to use all kinds of techniques of a Martial King. He was four whole levels above him.
Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although his strength was strong, his cultivation was not solid. If he did not release his true energy, his strength was only comparable to that of a peak Martial General.
Even though the third level of the Divine Art of Sandalwood gave him a strong body, and his inner strength far surpassing that of an ordinary person could increase his strength by a lot, but a weak foundation was always a hidden danger. Therefore, Luo Ping's main goal this time was to increase his strength and level.
The Meridian Opening Martial Lord realm opened the Conception and Governing Meridians and the internal organs produced true energy. Although Luo Ping had opened all the meridians in his body, his internal organs were still lacking and did not produce true energy. Therefore, he was still at the early stage of Martial General.
In the secret room, Luo Ping, who had his eyes closed and a solemn expression, suddenly opened his eyes. A sharp expression shot out from his eyes.
"I've finally advanced to the peak of Martial General. It seems that as long as I spend a certain amount of time and accumulate enough true energy in my internal organs, I can break through to the early stage of Martial General. At that time, my strength will at least be able to contend against a peak Martial King."
After making a judgment about his realm and strength, Luo Ping ended his month-long cultivation in the secret room. He got up and moved around for a while before leaving the secret room.
Ever since he entered the secret room, he had the servants bring in his meals. He had not gone out at all. He had been concentrating on cultivating the 'Bright Serene Heart Sutra' to nourish his internal organs.
It had to be said that the 'Bright Serene Heart Sutra' was indeed a top-notch internal cultivation method. The 'Dark Serene Qi' was one yin and one yang. The yin and yang complemented each other. It nourished the internal organs thoroughly and quickly. After ten days of cultivation, Luo Ping had already nourished his internal organs to the point that they were impregnable.
Feeling the strands of true energy being produced in his internal organs and then flowing into Navel, Luo Ping finally revealed a satisfied smile. He did not stop and continued to cultivate the internal cultivation method, nourishing his internal organs over and over again. The speed at which his internal organs produced true energy had clearly increased, and the amount of true energy produced had also clearly increased.
Finally, after a month, Luo Ping had finally advanced to the late stage of Martial General. He only needed time to accumulate and he would be able to easily break through again.
