Southern border pass.
The army stationed here was no longer called the Barbarian Suppression Army, but the Southern Suppression Army. This was a stipulation in the peace treaty between the two countries.
Many of the generals of the Northern Suppression Army had returned to court to await orders from the emperor. Whether they should be rewarded or punished, they had to wait.
Now, only a few generals were left to guard the pass, and the most senior was naturally Yang Wu.
The lieutenant general of the Southern Suppression Army was second only to the grand marshal. He could become a general at any time.
In addition to being a lieutenant general, he was also a count, known as Count Shaowu. This meant that Yang Wu was the only youth who had obtained the title of count through his own abilities.
Every title was a symbol of nobility. Yang Wu was originally a noble, but now he was even more famous. No one could compare to him in reputation and prestige.
Yang Wu didn't have time to manage the army. He only cared about his own death army. He would return to court in three days.
He had been adjusting his condition these days. He was suddenly afraid that he would hear bad news when he returned to Royal City.
He hoped that his family was well. Then everything would be easy. If anything happened to them, he would wash Royal City with blood. He had the ability to do so now.
He had been digesting the advanced alchemy techniques that Little Hei had passed on to him.
Little Hei had recovered a lot from her trip to the Heavenly Ladder of the Barbarians. She had also been struck by three bolts of lightning. Not only had she not been injured, she had also recovered some of her strength. She could now pass on energy memories to Yang Wu.
High-level alchemy techniques were different from low-level alchemy techniques. The knowledge contained in them was all-encompassing and strange. These complicated and difficult things could make a person's head explode.
If Yang Wu didn't have the Divine Court Dao Flower, Little Hei wouldn't have dared to pass on these memories to him.
It took Yang Wu seven days to imprint the knowledge into the Divine Court Dao Flower. Only then did he feel more comfortable, unlike before when he felt like his head was about to explode.
When Yang Wu finished digesting the memories, he rubbed his temples. "The path of alchemy is vast. Just as Little Hei said, I've only learned low-level alchemy. These advanced alchemy techniques are the real deal. Now, I can help Bingxue and Lu Zhi."
Before, he could only rely on Little Hei's help. Now, he wanted to do it himself. The meaning was completely different.
However, everything had to wait until things were over in Royal City....
Meng Bingxue's situation was easier to solve than Lu Zhi's. Lu Zhi's innate constitution had a problem, and the things he needed to find were very difficult to find. He still needed Little Hei's innate spiritual sense to find those things. Or he could enter the Transcendent Realm and see if there was anything he needed.
Yang Wu had been in seclusion for seven days. As soon as he walked out of his tent, he sensed a king's aura in the distance. He looked in that direction and muttered, "Who broke through first?"
Then, he took a step forward and flew in that direction.
Yang Wu didn't fly, but his speed wasn't slower than flying. It was as if he could shrink the ground into an inch. This was the speed brought to him by the Wind God's Leg.
Soon, he appeared at the bottom of the hill. Then, a figure soared into the sky, and a wave of water profound qi filled the area.
"Sister, you broke through!" Yang Wu looked at Wan Lanxin, who opened a pair of blue profound wings that were less than three meters long.
It turned out that the one who broke through to the Earth Sea Realm was Wan Lanxin. She had succeeded. From now on, she was a true queen. She was no longer a simple soldier who could do whatever she wanted at the border.
"Take this!" Wan Lanxin didn't answer. She shouted and stabbed the spear in her hand at Yang Wu.
Seven-Layered Wild Waves!
Wan Lanxin had received the king's skill from Yang Wu. She had been working hard to cultivate it. She had already reached the proficient level in the first four moves. She could explode with a lot of power.
After she broke through to the King Realm, the power of this attack was also quite impressive. Especially with the power of a new breakthrough, blue waves hit Yang Wu in the face.
This bit of power was quite a threat to ordinary people, but to Yang Wu, it was still a child's play. He laughed: "I'll practice with little sister."
So, Yang Wu met this power with his bare hands. He reached out and grabbed, and dissolved this power.
Wan Lanxin saw that Yang Wu was so strong, so she was relieved. She launched wave after wave of attacks with all her strength. She used every move of Seven-Layered Wild Waves, causing a big commotion.
Yang Wu was calm and composed. His arms kept waving, as if there was a soft ripple, and all her power was turned into nothingness.
Yang Wu's arms were full of brute force. He didn't even need to use profound qi and could easily block Wan Lanxin's moves. Moreover, he didn't suffer any injuries.
Wan Lanxin attacked for a while, then stopped and said snappily: "Wu, you're too strong. I can't beat you. It's boring."
Yang Wu spread out his hands and said: "If I didn't have any ability, how could I have come back alive from the Barbarian Clan?"
Only then did Wan Lanxin remember that Yang Wu had gone deep into the Barbarian Clan. Her gaze became incomparably gentle as she said: "Don't do such a stupid thing in the future, okay?"
Yang Wu laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I won't be impulsive in the future. Fortunately, everything should be over."
"En, I'll accompany you back to the King City. I want to see the faces of those who framed you." Wan Lanxin replied.
"Alright, then let's go back and take a look." Yang Wu laughed, he paused for a moment, then said: "I miss the places where we used to play together."
"What are you lamenting about at such a young age? You're not even eighteen yet."
"Yeah, I'm almost eighteen years old, but I feel like I'm already seventy or eighty years old."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go back."
Just as Yang Wu and Wan Lanxin were about to return to the barracks, a horse quickly flew over.
It was Meng Helang again. He appeared in front of Yang Wu on an Eagle Mount and shouted: "Yang Wu, congratulations! This is a joyous occasion! You're going to be the Prince Consort!"
Yang Wu frowned and said: "Commander Meng, please call me General Yang Wu, or Count Shaowu. I don't know what the Prince Consort you're talking about is."
Today, his status was already above Meng Helang's, so he had the right to speak like this.
Meng Helang quickly changed his words: "I'm sorry Count Shaowu, I was too excited. I just have a piece of great news to tell you. Your Yang Residence has been unsealed, your father's Count position has been restored, and an imperial edict has been sent to him. You've been granted a marriage by the Emperor. Go back and prepare to marry Princess Xiao Han. You're going to be the Prince Consort of our Grand Xia."
Meng Helang told Yang Wu all this news.
Yang Wu's expression kept changing as he listened. When he heard that his father had been restored to his Count position, he knew that his parents were fine and was the happiest. As for the rest of the words, he didn't hear them clearly.
On the contrary, Wan Lanxin, who was standing at the side, heard everything clearly. Her delicate face turned pale, and only one sentence popped up in her mind. "He … he is going to become the Great Xia's son-in-law?"
The title of Prince Consort of Grand Xia could only be given to someone who married a real princess. This also meant that Yang Wu was going to marry a princess.
This was great news for others, but it wasn't good for her at all. It was like a bolt from the blue had struck her. The joy of breaking through to the King Realm fell to the bottom in an instant. It was as if she had fallen from heaven to hell.
All this time, she had been conflicted about her relationship with Yang Wu. Only now did she truly understand that she loved Yang Wu deeply and didn't want to lose him.
"No, he can't marry the princess." Wan Lanxin cried out involuntarily.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Yang Wu looked at Wan Lanxin and asked.
"You're going to be the Prince Consort of Grand Xia. How can you face Zi Yu Yue? Didn't you want to marry her? "Wan Lanxin reprimanded Yang Wu.
At this moment, she could only use Zi Yu Yue to stop this from happening.
"What do you mean, I'm going to be the Prince Consort of Grand Xia?" Yang Wu was stunned for a moment. He then asked Meng Helang, "What did you say after that?"
"The Emperor has decreed a marriage between you and Princess Xiao Han." Meng Helang replied again.
Yang Wu laughed and said, "What a joke."
"It's not a joke. The imperial edict has already been sent to your home." Meng Helang said with certainty.
Yang Wu touched the bridge of his nose and narrowed his eyes, "Perhaps everyone doesn't know, but I went to prison because I rejected the princess's marriage proposal. Now there's another princess. How interesting."
"Count Shaowu, you … you're not thinking of going against the imperial edict, are you?" Meng Helang asked with a shocked expression.
"Hehe, how could I do such a disgraceful thing?" Yang Wu said with a smile. He then said, "I'll have to trouble Commander Meng to tell me this news. I'll have to trouble you to go back and tell my parents that I'll be returning to King City in three days to pay them a visit."
"This …" Meng Helang revealed a troubled expression.
Yang Wu said, "If you have any difficulties, I'll send someone else to inform them."
"No, that's not what I meant. I meant that the Emperor wanted me to escort you back." Meng Helang said.
"I'm a high and mighty Guardian General. Why would I need a deputy general like you to escort me back? What a joke. "Yang Wu said with disdain.
Meng Helang's face instantly heated up. He was already a King, but he was still being looked down on by a youth.
Yang Wu ignored Meng Helang. He grabbed Wan Lanxin's hand and said, "Sister, let's go back. We'll return to King City in three days to pay our respects to my parents."
Wan Lanxin's heart calmed down when Yang Wu held her hand. She nodded and said, "En, I'll go prepare some gifts for Uncle and Aunt."
Meng Helang watched the young couple walk away and sighed in his heart, "Looks like King City is going to be lively again!"
