"However, this fool Chang Sheng has a very close relationship with Prince Lin and Fang Yude!"
Kou Tianxiao looked at Chang Sheng, and started to ponder secretly. Although Chang Sheng was a fool, he was extremely strong. Amongst the people he knew, at Chang Sheng's age, there was no one who had the strength to do so, not even his own son, Ying Wu Hou. Chang Sheng's strength now was not any weaker than his foster son, Ying Wu Hou. It was not like he had wronged his daughter to have such strength!
Moreover, just how terrifying would the sect behind Chang Sheng's back be if he could cultivate to such an extent? With such a terrifying sect, and Chang Sheng's natural talent being so good, he would definitely not be as young as he was now. Furthermore, Chang Sheng was still in the Half-Step Heaven-Defying Immortality right now, so after he enters an immortal state, his strength will definitely increase sharply. It can't be said that he would be a First Expert in the Daqi Dynasty then.
Since his own daughter was following Chang Sheng, then there was no need to be afraid of others bullying her. Moreover, Chang Sheng was only a fool, and it was impossible for him to bully his own daughter.
Moreover, Chang Sheng had a good relationship with the two old fellows, Prince Lin and Fang Yude. Furthermore, everyone knew his relationship with the Seventh Prince.
Thinking about it, marrying Chang Sheng was not unacceptable for their daughter.
As Kou Tianxiao thought this, he gradually accepted reality in his heart.
Originally, when the competition ended, there would be a ceremony, but because of the sudden appearance of the Predynastic Remnant's Crown Prince, the entire competition was in chaos. After about an hour, the venue gradually settled down. Following which, the ceremony officially began.
"Chang Sheng is powerful, and obtained the title of champion of the competition. At the same time, Chang Sheng also forced the Crown Prince out, using his unique skills and the title of champion, he bestowed Chang Sheng with a good fortune of a hundred thousand gold, and even bestowed him with the title of nobleman."
White Eunuch read out the emperor's reward for Chang Sheng. As he read, his hands that were holding onto the imperial edict trembled uncontrollably. This reward was simply unheard-of.
The land in front of him was nothing. That ten thousand taels of gold was not that much. As for the title of nobleman in Feng Du, it was the lowest. However, what happened after that … Was he seeing things!
At the side of the temporarily built high platform for the Emperor to stand on, Third Prince heard the announcement made by the White Eunuch. Since Chang Sheng became the champion of the tournament, his face which had always been unsightly, finally revealed a look of joy. This reward was simply too terrible. Was there a reward worse than this?
The ten thousand taels of gold that obtained from the champion of the competition, this sort of bounty, it would not do if he did not receive a high reward, but what use did it have to Chang Sheng and his family? Chang Sheng was a Pill Refiner and had a huge industry, giving such rewards to Chang Sheng, was obviously what the Royal Father was doing. Even if it was a title, Chang Sheng would still inherit it sooner or later. It would be the same whether he gave it to his or not.
If that was the case, it was certain that Royal Father was not satisfied with Chang Sheng, and more so not satisfied with Chang Qianze. It was probably because Royal Father had an idea when he saw Chang Sheng's power.
So it turns out that Chang Sheng was not that powerful, and it didn't matter if the prime minister and the Kou Tianxiao family got married, but since Chang Sheng was that powerful, it was different.
Seventh Brother was so close to Chang Sheng, and now that the Royal Father was blaming Chang Sheng, it was likely that Seventh Brother would be implicated as well!
Just as the smile appeared on Third Prince's face, he heard White Eunuch's voice again.
"Also …" 10 Gold coins! "
White Eunuch carefully read it countless times, and after confirming that he was looking at ten golden colored faces, he finally shouted out the last reward for the emperor with a trembling voice!
"What!?" 10 Gold coins! "
"Ten!" I didn't hear wrong! "
"This reward is way too big!"
When everyone heard the final reward the emperor bestowed to Chang Sheng, they all looked like they had been petrified and stood there blankly.
Kou Tianxiao felt that his brain wasn't enough to handle this. This was a Gold Medallion for killing, and it was even 10 pieces at once, this was too exaggerated. Not to mention 10 pieces, he didn't even have a Gold Medallion for killing.
In the current dynasty, there were only two lords who possessed the Gold Medallion of Life and Death: one was from Prince Lin and the other was from Grand Preceptor Fei. Furthermore, the Gold Medallion of Life and Death was only one of them. Besides, that medal wasn't bestowed by the current emperor, it was bestowed by the previous emperor. The current emperor had never bestowed a medal of protection from death, but this was the first time!
The 'Gold Medallion of Immunity'. This was a life-saving talisman that could exempt him from any heinous crime! Even if it was a heinous crime, as long as they didn't rebel, they could still have three chances to survive as long as they had one Gold Medallion. After using it three times, the Gold Medal of Immunity became invalid and was retracted by the Royal Family.
It could be said that this Death-Free Gold Medallion was one of the highest prizes bestowed by the royal family. A single piece was the equivalent of a saint's chosen one. These ten pieces were just too exaggerated. This wasn't a reward, this was a wholesale!
Of course, Chang Sheng had contributed a lot this time to force the Crown Prince out, but it was still acceptable to grant him a death-saving gold medal. If it was ten pieces of gold, then that was too much, there must be another reason.
For example, Chang Sheng had previously participated in the disaster relief together with the Seventh Prince, who had also destroyed the rebellion of the Predynastic Remnant. The Seventh Prince had also recovered his senses only because of Chang Sheng, and his subsequent performance was even more breathtaking. It was said that the Seventh Prince had comprehended a Emperor Dragon Qi a while back, and Fang Yude and the Prince Lin, these two experts who were loyal to the Daqi Dynasty, had also gotten rid of their hidden injuries that had existed for many years because of Chang Sheng.
The emperor would always remember what Chang Sheng had done for the Daqi Dynasty. This time, it was compensation, but of course, just Chang Sheng would not receive such a great reward, and his father Chang Qianze was one of them.
If the emperor did this, it might be so that others would see it. He would tell others how much he valued Chang Jia.
Sigh … Forget it, Chang Sheng that fool had good luck and high strength. Chang Qianze was also in the midst of becoming a saint, and the Seventh Prince was one of the princes who had the greatest chance of inheriting the throne in the future.
After bestowing Chang Sheng a reward, the competition was not over yet.
As long as they survived, all of the strong warriors who made it into the top two hundred and fifty-six rankings would be given the title of field officer. At the same time, there were many who had also been granted the title of field officer during the previous tournament, because they had met with super experts who had been eliminated early, but had performed exceptionally well. Next, they would each choose a random two hundred soldiers from the army. Then, one of the generals from the imperial court would lead the team and go overseas to cooperate with Ying Wu Hou in their expedition.
Naturally, if they didn't want to go on an expedition, they wouldn't force it. However, if they didn't go on an expedition, the title of field officer wouldn't be given to them.
As for the troops that were being selected, they were from the capital's garrison.
In the military camp of the capital's garrison, a group of people, who had been given the title of field officer during the martial competition, began to choose their soldiers under the leadership of a few military officers.
Many of those who came to participate in the competition were the sons and disciples of princes and nobles from other countries. Naturally, they would not become field officers, but even if these people did withdraw, there would still be close to four hundred people who became field officers in order to choose their soldiers.
The soldiers in the barracks had their own advantages and disadvantages, while those with ordinary backgrounds could only choose among them. Some of the privileged ones would automatically curry favor with them, even if this wasn't their original intention.
Seventh Prince, although the majority of the capital's defensive troops have never been to the battlefield, there are still exceptions to everything. In front of us, the soldiers of the Third Battalion have all been warriors who fought against the Cloud Meng Army on the border before. Because of the mobilization of the army, they have come to the capital's defensive army.
An officer of the Third Battalion who was clearly of a much higher rank than the other officers introduced them to Fang Shuwen with a smile on his face as he pointed to the Third Battalion soldiers in front of them.
"Oh, thank you, General." Fang Shuwen smiled to the man who looked like a general in front of him, and then his gaze landed on the Third Battalion soldiers.
"Seventh Prince, you're too polite. You're fighting for the country, so of course we have to choose the best soldiers for you." The general bowed very respectfully. Since the seventh prince was here to select soldiers, he naturally had to bring the best soldiers out with him. The current Seventh Prince was no longer that foolish prince from before.
Right now, the Seventh Prince had the greatest chance of inheriting the throne. If there was such a good opportunity, he naturally had to curry favor with the Seventh Prince. Besides, if the soldiers chosen were too weak and couldn't protect the Seventh Prince well, then no one would be able to withstand the Emperor's blame for the Seventh Prince's injuries overseas. Naturally, they had to do their best to select soldiers.
Moreover, Seventh Prince still had that fool Chang Sheng by his side!
If it was in the past, when Chang Sheng picked soldiers, he would definitely hand over the worst soldiers to Chang Sheng. But now, Chang Sheng was going to marry the Grand Marshal's daughter, and that would be a family.
The general looked at the few people in front of him who looked very young, even the oldest one was probably not even thirty years old. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth again, "Seventh Prince, there are no restrictions in choosing soldiers. If you want to see which one of them is stronger, you can carry out various tests, and even allow them to compete with each other without any problem."
"Compete?" Forget it, doing that would harm the soldiers in the army. Furthermore, that would take too long. It would not be good for others to wait for us. " Fang Shuwen shook his head, he used the Mana Qi in his body to create a small barrier, and quietly asked Chang Sheng: "Chang Sheng, do you have a good way to choose the best soldiers out here?"
"What kind of method does this require? I'll just look at what is pleasing to the eye." Yue Yichen heard the sound, but still said: "These guys, I don't like them at all. Choose here, I'll take a look around." With that, Yue Yichen turned and walked out.
On the other side, Helian Jue, who was standing some distance away, looked at the soldier in front of him. For some reason, he also turned around and left.
To the side, the general suddenly saw the two leaving and his heart skipped a beat. Why did these two suddenly leave? Did they think he was lying to them? So, this was to investigate if this was the most outstanding soldier or not?
This... How could he dare to lie to the prince?
A drop of cold water fell from the general's forehead. He immediately ran to Fang Shuwen and anxiously said: "Prince, these soldiers are indeed the most outstanding ones in the army. Look, why have your companions left? If they choose from elsewhere, they will not be able to find such outstanding soldiers. "
