Chapter 335: Named Duke
In this way, Xiang Yang stayed in the Marquis's Mansion for a few days, and then with the complete pacification of the war in Zhonghai, the warriors of the Douwu Hall also returned to the imperial capital, including Phantom Yu and Lu Chen.
"Oops, I'm tired of my sister. As soon as Phantom Feather entered, he lay leisurely on a chair in the hall.
"Yu'er, what's going on?" asked Xiang Yang.
"What else can I do, now that the Holy See has lost Lingyue and Sikong Taiming, as well as Su Ya and others, our strength is much higher than them, although there is still some resistance, but it is not very big, so we can come back in a few days, the current Holy See has no way to go west again in almost ten years, this time it can be regarded as a win." Phantom Feather shook the folding fan and laughed.
"Eh, Su Ya, didn't she let her go back to the Holy See?" Xiang Yang wondered.
"Su Ya, she didn't return to the Holy See at all after being released, but became a wandering nun all the way, but it is normal to do this with her character, and I can understand her thoughts. Phantom Feather shook his head.
"I see, no matter what, this time Yu'er, it's okay for you to be fine, by the way, the hall master, they're also back. Xiang Yang then asked about the prince's suit, but his expression was a little unnatural.
"Yes, a meeting should be convened in a few days, and you should prepare well, this time you are the guard of the eastern seaport, and you have successfully defended the harbor, so you should have a lot of credit, so you can rest assured to receive the reward." Phantom Feather laughed.
"By the way, Yu'er, what about Mr. Lu Chen and Commander Li Tiancheng?" asked Xiang Yang.
"After they completed their mission, they parted ways with us and went back, so it seems that they won't come to the celebration meeting of the Douwu Palace. Phantom Feather thought for a moment and then said.
"Oh...... I know. Xiang Yang didn't show too much joy, maybe he knew that the prince's suit was the reason why his father Xiang Jiannan's martial arts was lost, and now Xiang Yang felt that he was a little difficult to face the prince's suit.
"What's wrong?, is there something on your mind?" Phantom Yu saw that Xiang Yang's expression was a little abnormal, and couldn't help but ask.
"No, nothing. Xiang Yang closed his eyes and shook his head.
"You, you just like to keep things in your heart. Phantom Feather sighed, then stood up and patted Yang on the shoulder.
"Yu'er, I'm ......" Xiang Yang looked at Phantom Yu's encouraging eyes, and just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Phantom Yu.
"Don't say anything, sister, I've always been on your side. Phantom Feather said softly.
For a while, there seemed to be only two people in heaven and earth, and Xiang Yang felt how happy he was to have Phantom Feather by his side at this moment......
Sure enough, Xiang Yang soon received the order to convene the meeting of the Douwu Palace, but Xiang Yang almost already knew that this meeting was basically to summarize the battle this time and the matter of rewarding.
So Xiang Yang and Phantom Yu re-set foot on Douwu Mountain at the specified moment and came to the Douwu Palace, this time the meeting Douwu Hall was because of the large number of people, so they did not choose the Tianji Palace, but held directly on the square of Douwu Mountain. And Xiang Yang found that the Douwu Hall at this time was still so prosperous, and there were many new faces, Xiang Yang thought to himself, I am afraid that many people here should not be all disciples of the Douwu Palace, and they must have come to attend the meeting, and the prince's suit was already ready in front, looking at the crowd below with joy.
"Everyone, be quiet!" When the time was almost right, an old man beside Wang Zifu shouted, and at this time, the originally noisy Douwushan Square also became quiet.
"Your Excellency, Blessing to the Heavens!" everyone shouted in unison.
"First of all, I will introduce myself, the old man's name is Tianjilie, hehe, maybe many people feel very sorry for the old man, although the old man is thin and talented, but he is still invited by the hall master to preside over the meeting, and please cooperate more. The old man named Heavenly Extreme Fierce said lightly.
"What! Could he be the strong man in charge of the Douwu Temple...... It is rumored that a strong man with the purest martial god bloodline of the ancestors of Tianjihong, even Mo Jianyun's predecessors have to give three points. "I didn't expect even this old-timer to come out of the mountain. "I'm afraid there's something big to announce. "No, isn't it a celebration meeting today......?" The once quiet square is back alive.
"Hehe, don't say it, let's start now, this Zhonghai War, as we all know, we won, thank you very much to the commander of the Tiance Mansion Li Tiancheng who fought side by side with us, and Mr. Lu Chen, the prime minister of the Southern Regions, on behalf of the Douwu Empire, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. In addition, we have signed a non-aggression pact with China Shipping, so you can go to China Shipping to your heart's content in the future. Tian Jilie said slowly.
"Wow, really? Legend has it that the ancient castle of the sea is an extremely mysterious place, so why don't we be able to go there?" someone asked below.
"If you have the strength, you can naturally go, hehe, the next thing is the most exciting thing, that is, to seal the martial artists of the Douwu Hall who have made outstanding contributions in this Zhonghai War. As soon as the voice of the heavenly pole fell, there was a large number of expectant eyes from below.
"First of all, in this Zhonghai War, in addition to Mr. Lu Chen from the Southern Regions who sat in the main force to lead the whole army, the first contribution to our temple was Xiang Hou Xiang Yang of my Western Martial Forces, he successfully guarded the east harbor, and first defeated the Holy See Holy Hunting Legion's leader Xuan Ying and Priest Su Ya, and then completely defeated the enemy's general Sikong Tianming and the invincible ace warrior Sikong Lingyue, this time we defeated the Holy See and made an indelible contribution, everyone has made an indelible contribution to this battle, but in terms of the size of the merit, after careful deliberation in the main hall, it was decided to determine Xiang Yang as the first person to make our military achievements, in order to reward Xiang Hou, and encourage the whole team, Lord Fu of the Douwu Palace, and His Majesty, Emperor Shen Tu of the Douwu Empire, jointly approved the special approval of Xiang Xiangyang to directly upgrade to the position of Duke of my Douwu Empire. ”
"This ......" "I, what ...... I heard" "Duke, duke......" "Isn't it only the hall master or the imperial prime minister who can take the position of duke?" "This is too exciting, right, I have never heard that the people inside the Douwu Hall can be the dukes of the empire except for the hall master." ”......
In the country of the Douwu Empire, the Douwu Palace is the force behind the Douwu Empire, although the real power is in the hands of the Douwu Palace, but the royal family of the empire is still the highest point in name, and the masters of the Douwu Palace in the past dynasties are at most dukes, and now Xiang Yang is actually the duke, which completely makes the warriors in the Douwu Palace in an uproar.
"This ...... Thank you for the praise of the hall lord and His Majesty the Emperor, and the qualifications are shallow, no matter what, he will not be able to hold the position of the duke of the Douwu Empire, and I also ask the hall lord and His Majesty the Emperor to withdraw their orders. Xiang Yang hurriedly said, he was also shocked when he heard the news, he was only in his twenties now, how could he become a duke representing a supreme minister.
"Young man, you have a bright future, since the hall master and His Majesty the Emperor have approved of you, don't shirk it, take the duke seal of the Douwu Empire. Tian Jilie didn't give Xiang Yang a chance to refute, and directly asked someone to hand over the duke seal to Xiang Yang, and Xiang Yang had no choice but to take the seal.
Looking at the ribbon seal printed with the words "Duke of Douwu Empire" in his hand, Xiang Yang's heart at this time was full of mixed feelings.
"Congratulations to Xianggong, congratulations to Xianggong!" everyone shouted out in unison, almost all of them seemed to have incomparable reverence, and even had that fanatical persistence, Xiang Yang only then understood the power of fame.
Then, Tian Jilie also rewarded the others one after another, and for a time the Douwu Hall was full of joy, when all the rewards were over, Tian Jilie did not leave, he closed his eyes, paused, and said in an old voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the reward is only temporary, and we are now facing an even greater crisis. "The sky is extremely strong, and it is slowly huge.
"What?" everyone was a little confused for a moment when they heard Tianji's words.
"Do you remember that not long ago, two mysterious warriors came to my Douwu Mountain to snatch the true book of my palace's supreme treasure martial arts, these two took advantage of the emptiness in the hall and took them by surprise to let them succeed, and now, we also know their identities. The words of the heavenly extreme made everyone's joy dissipate in an instant, and the true copy of the Martial God Recipe was taken away, which was a shame as a disciple of the Dou Wu Palace.
"Who are the two of them?" a disciple shouted below.
"Good question, those two people are already in our hands, don't panic, now you must be under martial law all day, don't slack off, they will soon be captured by us, you know!"
"Yes, sir!" said the crowd in high spirits.
"......" and Xiang Yang felt a little uneasy, when he was in the imperial capital before, he had met Jian Ruoxi, and he also knew that she must have some kind of purpose, although now Tianji Lie swore that it was already in control, but Xiang Yang had great doubts.
Then, Tian Jilie said a few inspiring words of encouragement, and the prince came up as the hall master to add a few closing words, and this assembly can be regarded as the curtain has come to an end, but Xiang Yang did not go down the mountain first like other warriors, he came directly to Tian Jilie.
"Xiang Gong, what else is the matter with you?" Tian Jilie couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Xiang Yang coming.
"Heavenly Great, I'm afraid things are not so simple, this woman named Jian Ruoxi and the man who claims to be an evil handsome man should be members of the same organization, so purposeful and disciplined, please be aware of it. Xiang Yang stopped Tian Jilie and hurriedly said.
"Haha, very good, it's rare for you to analyze it so carefully, that's right, the old man might as well tell you the truth, according to our investigation, that rough man is a believer in the Southern Regions Cult, and later betrayed the cult, and that woman, if the investigation results are correct, should be the traitor of the Divine Sword Sect, Jian Ruoxi, known as the Sword God. According to the intelligence, they are an organized and purposeful gang, and there are definitely more than just these two members, but do you still remember the incident of the destruction of the Wind Thunder Sect a few years ago? This incident has nothing to do with this organization. Tian Jilie said slowly.
