Back to the Peak

With the majesty of the Son of Heaven and the coercion of the powerful in the Great Innate Realm, Xue Hongze is like a bright moon, dimming all the civil and military officials. Everyone bows their heads respectfully in front of him, full of abuse. sincerity.

The moment he saw Xue Hongze and met his gaze, Ling Feng felt his heart pounding, and couldn't help but jump up wildly: "This is the coercion of the strong! Only by his own momentum It will make everyone submit willingly, without daring to disobey in the slightest!"

"One day, I want to be like him, reach the great innate realm, and let everyone look up to me!" Ling Feng encouraged himself in his heart, and secretly vowed.

"Ling Aiqing, tell me, what reward do you want?" Xue Hongze asked with a kind smile. Others may not be able to see anything from the two fists that Ling Feng and Niu Kui confronted just now, and even Ling Feng felt that the two of them were evenly matched, and they were indistinguishable. In the duel, it was judged that Niu Kui was definitely not Ling Feng's opponent.

"Ling Feng is satisfied only if he can serve the Holy Majesty!" Recovering from the shock, Ling Feng looked sadistic, and at the same time thought in his heart, "Although I had a slight advantage in the two confrontations with Niu Kui just now, but The shock it gave me was huge. After all, Niu Kui was just an ordinary imperial guard next to Xue Hongze, and his strength was so powerful. It seems that the biggest reason why the Holy One rewarded him was because he resisted the Wang family and saved his life. His nephew Duan Yi and many other officials of the imperial court saved the face of the Eastern Jin imperial family. This was an extraordinary gift, not because he was really good. Even now, Xue Hongze only values ​​his own potential, not Now I only have the strength of the innate first class!"

"It's true that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. In Longyuan City, there are so many masters. A guard randomly assigned by the Holy One made me use all my strength to barely gain the upper hand. It seems that I have to work harder in the future. Otherwise, let alone protecting the family, I'm afraid I don't even have the qualifications to gain a foothold in the imperial city!"

"Let me think about it, what kind of official position is the most suitable for you..." When Ling Feng was thinking, Xue Hongze's eyes turned slightly, and he muttered for a while, "Well, it just so happens that there is an official position in the southern part of Longyuan City. If there is a vacancy, I will designate you as a 'Lieutenant of Zhaowu', and you will be appointed as the fifth-rank official, and you will be responsible for patrolling, public security and city defense in the south of Longyuan City from now on."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were shocked, and all of them stared in surprise. Although Captain Zhaowu's official position is not high, he controls a quarter of Longyuan City and has great power. He is more majestic than some fourth-rank or even third-rank officials.

"Your Majesty, the post of Lieutenant Zhaowu is not only very important, but also too cumbersome and has too much power. I'm afraid there is something wrong with Ling Feng, who is only 18 years old, and I hope your Majesty will think twice." Standing in the front row , the potbellied official advised.

Xue Hongze frowned slightly, followed the voice and swept over. After seeing the person who spoke just now, a trace of displeasure appeared on his face.

The person who spoke just now was named Yang Xianzhong, and he was appointed as a first-rank Taiwei. He was the father of another young man who was traveling with the First Prince, Yang Mo. At the same time, he was also the father-in-law of the First Prince, that is, Xue Hongze's "children" , very arrogant and rude, Xue Hongze has never had a good impression of him.

"If you doubt Ling Feng's ability, then you are suspecting that there is something wrong with my eyesight, and I don't know people clearly?" Xue Hongze said in a low voice, displeased.

"I don't dare to be an official!" With Xue Hongze slapping a hat on him, Yang Xianzhong glanced at Ling Feng unwillingly, shut up and said nothing.

"The veteran also thinks that the Holy Majesty's move is inappropriate." At this moment, an old and thick voice said, "Lieutenant Zhaowu is responsible for a quarter of the city defense, patrol, security, and security tasks of Longyuan City. It can be said that it is a heavy responsibility. As for Daoyuan, the incumbent should at least have the second level of innate strength to be able to take office, therefore, if Ling Feng is only in the first level of innate strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to be competent, and it will be difficult to convince the public!"

The person who spoke was an old man with white hair and a childlike face, Qing Zhan, the general of the four directions of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a strong man with a small innate peak, he was upright and straightforward, he had made countless contributions to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and his military exploits were outstanding. level characters.

Xue Hongze could easily refute Yang Xianzhong's words just now, but Qing Zhan's words were based on the truth, every sentence was reasonable, and he was always considering the Eastern Jin royal family. What's more, Ling Feng himself admitted just now that his strength has only reached the realm of innate first level, and it is indeed a bit reluctant for him to take up this position. Therefore, for a while, Xue Hongze was in a dilemma.

"My Majesty, this subordinate believes that Ling Feng is fully qualified for the position of Captain Zhaowu!" Just as Xue Hongze was having a headache, Niu Kui's resonant voice came from the lower part.

"Oh, why is he competent?" Hearing Niu Kui's words, Xue Hongze suddenly felt his eyes light up, and hurriedly asked.

"I haven't had time to report to the Holy One in the future. In fact, I have advanced to the second level of innate level two days ago. So, in the battle just now, Ling Feng actually defeated a warrior of the second level of innate level!" Niu Kui looked serious 'color' Road.

"You mean, you were fighting Ling Feng just now with the strength of the innate second level?" Xue Hongze said with a trembling voice because of excitement.

"That's right, I gave it my all from the beginning just now!" Niu Kui nodded affirmatively.

"What! The Niu Kui who fought with Ling Feng just now turned out to be a martial artist of the second level? Moreover, he was even stronger than Niu Kui in strength, completely suppressing the latter!" Civil and military officials burst into a commotion, One by one whispered to each other, exclaiming in disbelief, and pairs of inexplicable eyes scanned Ling Feng.

"He turned out to be a martial artist with the second level of innate talent? And I fought him evenly, and even had a slight upper hand!" Even Ling Feng, who had been silent at the side, was surprised, surprised and happy in his heart, but his face However, there is still no wave in Gujing.

"Qinglaoaiqing, you should have no objection now, right?" Xue Hongze laughed heartily.

"Since Ling Feng is capable of taking up this position, I will naturally not object! Moreover, congratulations to His Majesty for obtaining another young talent, a good minister and a brave general!" Qing Zhan smiled at Xue Hongze, cupping his hands.

"Hahaha!" Xue Hongze laughed excitedly, turned his head and said to Ling Feng, "Ling Aiqing, from today onwards, you are our Zhaowu Colonel of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the fifth-rank official, in charge of the southern part of Longyuan City. City defense, law and order, and everything else!"

"Thank you, Lord Long! Ling Feng will definitely go all out and die!" Ling Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and said with a bow.

"Okay! In addition to the official position, I will reward you with a mansion of the Ling family, a hundred slaves, a thousand pieces of silk, a thousand pieces of fertile land, and ten thousand taels of gold..." Xue Hongze's loud and clear voice echoed over Longyuan Hall for a long time. , I heard the envy of all the civil and military officials, a burst of envy, and a burst of hatred...
