Wang Ruoli and Yu Xiaoxiao went all the way out of Yunmengze and returned to the Song Dynasty.

The previous Wang Ruoli, although he often walked with Hongshang and the two loved each other, but he had always been superficial and had no breakthrough in in-depth communication. However, this time with Yu Xiaoxiao's peers, it is very different, the two of them are like glue, and they have been flying for more than a month before they entered the Jingzhou territory.

"When you arrive in Jingzhou this time, why don't you stay longer?" The two of them shared the same sword, Wang Ruoli hugged Yu Xiaoxiao in his arms, and tried to ask, "The affairs of Xiaoyao Palace will be taken care of by the second elder Shui Xi." ”

"Although I am idle, I am also the master of the Xiaoyao Palace. Yu Xiaoxiao laughed in a low voice, "This Lihou, are you planning to abduct a woman from a good family?"

"I obviously sincerely invite the Lord of the Yuda Palace to visit Jingzhou for a few more days. Wang Ruoli hurriedly denied it, "Why did it become a abduction?"

"Hmph, it was!" Yu Xiaoxiao snorted lightly, gave Wang Ruoli a roll of her eyes, and sighed, "Before eating the leafberries in the clouds, I felt that I had touched the edge of metamorphosis, and when I went back this time, I had to start preparing for metamorphosis." ”

"Avatar?" The current Wang Ruoli still has a long distance to go to Avatar, but he knows that this is a major event in Yu Xiaoxiao's cultivation, so he doesn't dare to be sloppy, "Do you need someone to protect the Fa? Can the second elder Shui Xi be trusted? Where are you going to choose......

"Rest assured. Yu Xiaoxiao listened to Wang Ruoli's concerned question, smiled in return, and said softly, "If you really have a heart, remember to come to Xiaoyao Palace." ”

"Hehe, Ben Hou is willing to serve the dogs and horses. Wang Ruoli smiled and pretended to salute.

"Not really...... I just want to show you someone. Yu Xiaoxiao was a little hesitant.

"Who is it?" Wang Ruoli couldn't help but ask when he saw Yu Xiaoxiao's hesitant expression.

He ...... He is ...... "Yu Xiaoxiao is stumbling."

At this time, a group of people flew in front of him.

"The subordinates welcome the return of the marquis. "The team that came, the person at the head was Xiao Baohuang.

"No need to be polite. Wang Ruoli said bluntly, "In the days when Ben Hou was away, could there have been any changes? ”

"Master Hou rest assured, everything is fine. Xiao Baohuang replied, "The land of Jingxiang has returned to the stable situation of the past, and during this period, Hou Ye's young friend Huang Jinyu has also contributed a lot. ”

"Thank you for your hard work. Wang Ruoli nodded and continued to ask, "You specially came here, why did you come here?"

"Returning to the marquis, a holy decree came from the imperial city of Jiankang. Xiao Baohuang glanced at Wang Ruoli cautiously, and reported truthfully, "The person who delivered the decree made a special trip to Jingxiang and has been waiting for three days in the Red Maple Building. ”

"Who did the emperor send over to deliver the decree?" Wang Ruoli frowned.

"It's the Privy Councillor, the old man Fan Wenzhengfan. Xiao Baohuang said respectfully.

When Wang Ruoli heard this, he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the imperial court to come and pass on a will, and he actually dispatched a privy envoy, the highest-ranking civil official. The Privy Council of the Song Dynasty was in charge of the military affairs of the Immortal Dynasty, and although the privy envoy was a civil official, he was in charge of military affairs, and he could not serve as a minister who was not the emperor's heart.

Wang Ruoli was thinking about himself, but Xiao Baohuang observed his words and looks, and saw Yu Xiaoxiao beside Wang Ruoli, who didn't seem to be like an ordinary woman, and thought that when Wang Ruoli left Jingzhou, he was accompanied by a girl in a red dress, and now he has become the one in front of him, and both of them are beautiful beauties of the country, and he can't help but sigh in his heart, Hou Ye is really a blessing, and he couldn't help but ask: "My subordinates are brave, I don't know this girl?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is Xiaoyao Sanjun Yu Xiaoxiao of Xiaoyao Palace. Wang Ruoli came back to his senses and introduced in a calm tone.

Yu Xiaoxiao listened to Wang Ruoli's introduction, and the corners of her mouth swept over these Wang Ruoli's subordinates who came to greet her.

"It turned out to be the rain girl, what a blessing...... Huh?" Xiao Baohuang was about to habitually say a few polite sentences, when he suddenly woke up and looked at Yu Xiaoxiao in surprise, "You...... Are you a loose gentleman?"

Yu Xiaoxiao was still smiling and nodded slightly.

Xiao Baohuang never thought that this woman who was silently accompanying Wang Ruoli turned out to be the woman with the highest cultivation in the Shenyuan Continent. At the moment, I was so shocked that I didn't know how to speak, so I had to confess again and again.

Wang Ruoli chuckled, didn't say anything, took Yu Xiaoxiao, and a group of subordinates behind him, and flew towards the red maple Xiaozhu.

When Wang Ruoli and his entourage flew to the Red Maple Building, they saw that there were already dense crowds of people waiting around the courtyard.

Since Wang Ruoli led the army to wash the land of Jingxiang in blood, today's red maple building has become the most important mansion in the land of Jingxiang and even in the entire Jingzhou.

When Wang Ruoli came to the entrance of the courtyard, he was greeted by the people in the army led by the five generals of Baiyang Miao and Fan Xiang, and there were many people from the Jingxiang family behind him, such as Xie Anshi of the Xie family, Wang Tianche of the Wang family, Huang Jinyu, Qingfu and others.

Wang Ruoli said politely twice, and finally noticed the person who delivered the decree this time. I saw that the other party was a radiant old man, with a bookish atmosphere, and he looked like a well-educated scribe who had been deeply influenced by poetry and books since childhood. Recalling the former Privy Council member Meng Yu, who wanted to seize his own army, Wang Ruoli originally thought that the privy envoy, as the head of the Privy Council, should also be a master of Confucianism and Taoism who had cultivated to a high level.

"Master Fan. Wang Ruoli bowed politely.

"The old man is fortunate to finally see the Lady today who left the father. Fan Wenzheng came over with a group of civil officials behind him and returned the salute with a kind face.

"Leaving the father?" Wang Ruoli was stunned when he heard this, some puzzled, some guessed, why did the other party call himself divorced.

"Haha, there's no rush on this matter. Fan Wenzheng sighed with emotion and was very friendly, "I have just returned from a long journey away from Gong, so I might as well take a break, and we will pass on the decree later." ”

"There's Lord Lao Fan. Wang Ruoli gave a salute.

After a few people entered the Ninghong Hall and exchanged pleasantries, Fan Wenzheng read out the will of the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

In the previous Song and Chu wars, Wang Ruoli led the army to support Nanhu Dao, not only breaking the army of more than 200,000 immortals of the Chu Dynasty, entering the Xishu Road, and disturbing the hinterland of the Chu Dynasty, but also cooperating with the King of Huiji

, King Baoqing defeated the Chu army in Yizhou, and this credit is not insignificant.

It's just that Wang Ruo has some thoughts, nearly half a year has passed since the war between Song and Chu, and this reward for military merit can be reached?

It turned out that Wang Ruoli had gone through the Song and Qi wars, suppressed the Qingtian Uprising, and participated in the pacification of the Seven Kings Rebellion. Although it was only a few years, the prosperity of the military achievements was surprising, so there was a disagreement between the court and the central government about Wang Ruoli's reward for the merits of the Song and Chu wars.

Many civil and military generals insisted that the edge of the marquis was too strong, and they should be appropriately pressed, and only a certain amount of money and silk should be given as a reward, among them, especially the Huiji Wang Daofu, who controlled the military power of Jiankang, had the highest voice of opposition; in addition, some courtiers who were martial arts and new courtiers advocated that meritorious service should be rewarded, and suggested that the meritorious deeds of the departed marquis be commended, and the rank of knight should be promoted. The Song Dynasty has been weak for a long time, and Fan Wenzheng, as a privy envoy, is eager for a good general, and he is extremely appreciative of Lihou, so he has always advocated supporting this new star.

The two sides held their own opinions, disputed endlessly in the court, and quarreled for several months, and finally it was Emperor Liu Zijun who made a decision and passed down the will.

Wang Ruoli naturally didn't know about these cats in the court of the Song Dynasty, but when he saw the reward that had been delayed for more than half a year, and the court represented by Fan Wenzheng, he showed a heart of cherishing talents, and he couldn't help but understand the ulterior motives of Emperor Liu Zijun in his heart.

The main intention conveyed this time is that Wang Ruo will leave the Duke of Jin, and at the same time, he will be promoted to the governor of Xishu Dao and lead all the soldiers and horses of Xishu Dao. Sitting in a place, there is no doubt that although Wang Ruoli's strength is not as good as the other three leading spirit kings, he has grown into an existence in the Song Dynasty that people dare not ignore.

However, Wang Ruoli knew in his heart that although he nominally became the governor of Xishu Dao, it was not easy to really sit firmly in Xishu Dao. In the previous war between Song and Chu, the Song and Chu exchanged places, and the Song Dynasty took the Xishu Road. Although the Immortal Dynasty army under his command controls many states and counties, most of the territory in Xishu Road is still in the hands of King Huiji and King Baoqing, and there are more than 100,000 Immortal Dynasty troops guarding the two leading Spirit Kings. If he wants to completely control the Xishu Dao, he will inevitably have friction with the two leading spirit kings, and I am afraid that Emperor Liu Zijun is also deliberately pushing himself to the opposite side of the two leading spirit kings.

Wang Ruoli smiled, he didn't care, these things were all in his expectations, and he was very satisfied with this result, and even a little in the right place, he didn't want such a reason, so that it would be convenient to clean up the situation of the entire Xishu Dao.

This time, Wang Ruoli has taken a big step forward regardless of his title or official position, and his political status in the DPRK and China has soared, and he has become a hot upstart. Especially looking at the generals of the entire Song Dynasty, Wang Ruoli is even regarded as the most powerful fourth military force in the Song Dynasty after the three leading spirit kings.

In the hall, looking at Fan Wenzheng's eyes full of love, revealing the feelings of an old cow licking his talents, Wang Ruoli was also sincere, set up a banquet, and took his generals to very politely entertain the civil officials who passed the decree.
