South Pass.
The army stationed here officially changed its name. It was no longer called the "Suppressing Barbarian Army" but was changed to "Zhennan Army". This was a stipulation in the peace contract between the two countries.
Many generals of the Zhenbei Army have returned to the court to obey the emperor's orders, whether they deserve rewards or punishments, they all have to wait.
Now, only a few generals are left guarding the area, and the largest general is naturally Yang Wu.
The Lieutenant General of Guards is a general second only to the Generalissimo. He can ascend to the position of General at any time.
In addition to having the title of lieutenant general, he is also an earl, known as "Earl Shaowu". This means that Yang Wu is the only one who earned the title of earl by relying on his own ability as a teenager.
Every title is a symbol of nobility. Yang Wu was originally from a noble background, but now he is even better, with a reputation and prestige that no one can match.
Yang Wu had no time to take care of the affairs of the entire army. He only cared about his own death legion. He would return to the court in three days.
These days, he has been adjusting his condition, and he is suddenly afraid of hearing bad news after returning to the royal city.
He hopes that his family will be well, so that everything will be easy to deal with. If anything happens to his family, he will have to bloodbath the royal city. He now has the ability to do all this.
In the past few days, he has been digesting the advanced alchemy skills that Xiao Hei passed on to him.
Xiao Hei went to the Barbarians' Stairway to Heaven and recovered a lot after gaining some energy. After being struck by three thunders, not only was he not injured, but he also recovered some of his abilities and could transfer energy memories to Yang Wu. .
High-level alchemy is different from low-level alchemy. The knowledge contained in it is all-encompassing and strange. These complicated and difficult-to-understand things can explode a person's head.
If Yang Wu didn't have Shenting Daohua, Xiao Hei wouldn't dare to pass on these energy memories to him.
It took Yang Wu a full seven days to imprint this knowledge bit by bit into Shenting Daohua, and his brain felt more comfortable, unlike at the beginning, when he felt that his brain was going to explode completely.
After Yang Wu digested these energy memories, he rubbed his temples and said: "The journey of alchemy is extremely vast. As Xiao Hei said, what I have been exposed to before is just low-level alchemy. These high-level alchemy are the real ones." Alchemy, now I can help Bingxue and Lu Zhi with their situation."
Before, he could only count on Xiao Hei's help, but now he wants to do it himself, and the meaning will be completely different.
However, everything must wait until the matter in the royal city is settled before we can find a way to recover for them.
Meng Bingxue's situation is easier to solve than Lu Zhi's. Lu Zhi has a congenital physical problem, and what he needs to find is quite demanding. It is not easy to find. It still requires Xiao Hei's innate spiritual sense to find those things. , or enter the supernatural world and look at those places that are superior to others. It seems that there is what he needs.
Yang Wu had been in seclusion for seven days. As soon as he walked out of the tent, he felt a royal power turbulence in the distance. He looked in that direction and murmured: "Who broke through first?"
Then, he took steps and swept in that direction.
Yang Wu was not flying, but the speed of his steps was not slower than flying, as if he felt like he was shrinking from the ground. This was the speed brought to him by the Aeolian legs.
Soon, he appeared under the hill, and then a figure rose into the sky, and a water mysterious energy filled the one mile radius.
"Sister, you've made a breakthrough!" Yang Wu said in surprise as he watched Wan Lanxin unfold a pair of blue black wings less than a foot long.
It turns out that it was Wan Lanxin who broke through the realm of Earth and Sea. She successfully broke through the barrier. From then on, she was the real queen, and was no longer as simple as an ordinary soldier. She could dominate here with no problem.
"Watch the move!" Wan Lanxin didn't answer, she gave a sweet shout, and stabbed Yang Wu angrily with the spearman in her hand.
Seven wild waves!
Wan Lanxin got the king skill given to her by Yang Wu and has been working hard to practice it. She has reached the level of proficiency in the first four moves and can explode with considerable power.
After she broke through to the realm of the king, the power of this attack was also quite impressive, especially when it came with the power of the new breakthrough, waves of blue water hit Yang Wu in the face.
This kind of power is quite a threat to ordinary people, but to Yang Wu, it is still a bit childish. He laughed and said: "I will practice my moves with the young lady."
Therefore, Yang Wu faced these forces with his bare hands, and with a touch of his hand, he neutralized these forces.
Wan Lanxin saw that Yang Wu was so powerful, so she relaxed and launched wave after wave of attacks with all her strength. She used every move of Kuang Lang Qi Layer, causing quite a stir.
Yang Wu was calm and calm, and kept waving her arms out, as if there was softness rippling, all her strength was invisible.
Yang Wu's arms were full of brute strength, and he could easily block Wan Lanxin's moves without even using his profound energy, without suffering any damage.
Wan Lanxin attacked continuously for a while, then stopped and said angrily: "Wu, you are too powerful, I can't beat you, it's boring."
Yang Wu spread his hands and said: "If I didn't have any ability, how could I come back alive from the barbarians?"
Wan Lanxin then remembered Yang Wu's infiltration into the barbarians, her eyes became extremely soft and she said, "Don't do such stupid things again in the future, okay?"
Yang Wu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I won't be impulsive again in the future. Fortunately, everything should be over."
"Well, I will accompany you back to the royal city. I want to see the faces of those who framed you." Wan Lanxin responded.
"Okay, let's go back and have a look together." Yang Wu smiled, then paused and said, "I miss the places we used to play together."
"What are you feeling about life at such a young age? You're not even eighteen years old yet."
"Yeah, I'm only almost eighteen, but I always feel as if I'm already seventy or eighty years old."
"Stop talking so much, let's go back."
Just when Yang Wu and Wan Lanxin were about to return to the military camp, a horse quickly passed by.
It was Meng Helang again. He appeared directly in front of Yang Wu on an eagle, shouting: "Congratulations, Yang Wu. What a great joy. You will be honored as the Prince Consort."
Yang Wu frowned and said, "Commander Meng, please call me General Yang Wu, or Earl Shaowu. I don't know what the Prince Consort you are talking about is."
Today, his status is higher than that of Meng Helang, and he is qualified to speak like this.
Meng Helang quickly changed his words and said: "I'm sorry, Count Shaowu, I'm too excited. I just have a great news to tell you. Your Yang Mansion has been unblocked, and your father's position as Count has been restored, and it's also good news." An imperial edict has arrived in his hands, and you have been granted a marriage by the Emperor. Go back and prepare to marry Princess Xiaohan, and you will be our Prince Consort of Great Xia."
Meng Helang told Yang Wu all the news.
Yang Wu's expression kept changing as he listened. When he heard that his father was restored to the title of earl, he knew that his parents were fine and he was happiest. As for the words that followed, he couldn't hear clearly.
On the contrary, Wan Lanxin heard clearly on the side, and her delicate face became much pale. She only thought of one sentence: "He... he is going to become the Prince Consort of Daxia?"
The title Prince Consort of Daxia can only be obtained by marrying a real princess, which also means that General Yang Wu will marry a princess.
This was great news for others, but it was not good at all for her. It was like a thunderbolt hitting her. She had just broken through the joy of being a king, and suddenly she fell to the bottom, as if Fell from heaven to hell.
She has been struggling with her relationship with Yang Wu for a long time. Until this moment, she truly understood that she loved Yang Wu deeply and did not want to lose him.
"No, he can't marry the princess." Wan Lanxin cried out.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Yang Wu looked at Wan Lanxin and asked.
"You are going to become the consort, are you worthy of Zi Yuyue? Don't you want to marry her?" Wan Lanxin scolded Yang Wu.
At this moment, she could only use Zi Yuyue to prevent this from happening.
"What do you mean, what kind of consort have I become?" Yang Wu was stunned for a moment, and then asked Meng Helang: "What were you talking about next?"
"The Emperor has granted you a marriage, and you and Princess Xiaohan will get married." Meng Helang responded again.
Yang Wu laughed and said, "What a big joke."
"This is no joke, the imperial edict has already arrived at your home." Meng Helang said firmly.
Yang Wu touched the bridge of his nose, narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe everyone doesn't know that I was imprisoned because I refused the princess's marriage proposal. Now there is another princess. It's really interesting."
"Count Shaowu, you... you don't want to resist the decree, do you?" Meng Helang asked with a look of horror.
"Haha, how could I do such a treasonous thing?" Yang Wu laughed, and then he said: "Commander Lao Meng came to tell me the news, so please go back and tell my parents. I will return to the royal city in three days." Meet them."
"This..." Meng Helang showed a hint of embarrassment.
Yang Wu said: "If you are in trouble, I will send others back to inform them."
"No, that's not what I meant. I meant that the emperor asked me to escort you back together." Meng Helang said.
"I am a dignified protective general, but do I still need a general-level commander like you to escort me? What a big joke." Yang Wu said disdainfully.
Meng Helang's face instantly heated up. He was already a king, and yet he was despised by a young man. It was really ugly.
Yang Wu ignored Meng Helang, took Wan Lanxin's hand and said, "Sister, let's go back. We will go back to the royal city to meet my parents in three days."
When Yang Wu held Wan Lanxin's hand, her heart calmed down and she nodded: "Well, I'll prepare some gifts for my uncle and aunt."
Meng Helang looked at the young men and women walking away and sighed in his heart: "It seems that the royal city is going to be lively again!"
