Lang Feng Takes a Wife (End of Volume Six)

Zhang Xingfeng sat calmly in his chair, watching Zhu Li ramble on about a bunch of nonsense. Zhu Li's smile was so friendly, but inwardly he was cursing, "Zhu Li... you bastard, are you doing this on purpose? You led me here, then left me hanging while you spouted all that high-sounding nonsense... I don't want to listen to your rubbish. My disciples are waiting for me!"

Zhu Li, however, was immersed in excitement, constantly recounting the significance of the great victory in this war and praising the brave soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. He spoke with great enthusiasm, his spittle flying everywhere. The ministers were also extremely happy, their faces flushed with laughter. When Zhu Li reached the climax of his speech, the ministers' smiles became even brighter.

Zhu Li seemed to realize he had said a bit too much, and immediately coughed, saying, "This war can be said to be the shortest war between several countries in history, lasting less than a month! Less than a month? Is there ever such a short war in history? Haha..."

The ministers below immediately began to sing his praises. A brief war—it truly lived up to its name.

Zhu Li smiled with satisfaction and continued, "Our Great Ming Dynasty has taken the absolute initiative in this war! The greatest contributor to this victory is Earl Zhang Xingfeng." Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng's eyes narrowed slightly. Zhu Li had mentioned his name again; since the beginning of Zhu Li's speech, Zhang Xingfeng's name had been mentioned 13 times.

Zhu Li continued, "Well... of course, there are also the contributions of all the generals. So today, I have gathered everyone here to reward the generals who have made great contributions in the war!"

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, their heads were raised high, and their ears perked up. Now was the most crucial moment.

Zhu Li was very satisfied with the expressions of his ministers below. After a pause, he said with a smile, "Of course, the greatest contributor is Earl Zhang Xingfeng. Earl Zhang is the Lineage of the Star Peak Family. As for gold and such, I really can't offer anything!" After saying that, he even laughed self-deprecatingly.

The ministers below also smiled at Zhang Xingfeng, their smiles carrying a hint of flattery.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly and looked at Zhu Li: "Ha... Zhu Li, what do you have to offer me to please me? What kind of rare treasures haven't I, Zhang Xingfeng, seen? My master's Tianyu Bracelet contains countless treasures, and I even have a hundred million taels of gold... Hehe... I'm really curious..." Zhang Xingfeng looked at Zhu Li with a teasing expression; he really couldn't imagine what benefits Zhu Li would offer him.

Zhu Li smiled, then suddenly his expression turned serious. He said, "Earl Zhang, your merit this time is great enough to warrant the title of Duke. But unfortunately, Earl Zhang is the head of a Lineage. Conferring the title of Duke would actually cause many problems."

The people below were shocked. A duke? To be granted the title of duke? If Zhang Xingfeng were just a military officer, being granted the title of duke would not be a problem, but he is still Lineage of the Star Peak Family. If he becomes a duke, then the Star Peak Family will become the Star Peak Family. However, the conditions for becoming an aristocratic Aristocratic Clan are much more stringent, such as having assets of over 10 billion taels of silver!

Although Zhang Xingfeng possesses 100 million in gold, which is more than enough wealth, Zhang Xingfeng has not made it public, and very few people in the world know about it.

Zhu Li smiled slightly, looking at the reactions of the people below, and then at the calm Zhang Xingfeng, and said with a smile, "However, Earl Zhang's merit this time is too great, and I really cannot reward him. Therefore, I have decided to: confer the title of Zhang Xingfeng on Zhang Carefree Marquis, bestow the Donglin Palace upon Marquis Zhang, and also bestow another palace in the eastern suburbs— Dongfeng Garden —on Marquis Zhang's brother, Earl Lang Feng!"

Everyone was stunned, including Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng wasn't surprised to become a marquis. He was surprised, but not too surprised, that Zhu Li gave him a palace. However, he was surprised that Zhu Li gave Lang Feng Zhang Xingfeng palace.

The ministers below were also extremely shocked. To reward Zhang Xingfeng with Lang Feng was simply unacceptable. Zhu Ming, standing among the princes, looked at his father and secretly admired him.

Even if Zhu Li gave Zhang Xingfeng a lot of rewards, Zhang Xingfeng probably wouldn't be very moved. But Zhu Li gave the rewards to Zhang Xingfeng's brother, Lang Feng. Others might not know the bond between Zhang Xingfeng and Lang Feng, but people in these powerful forces know it very well. Giving the rewards to Lang Feng would probably have a much better effect.

Zhang Xingfeng could not remain indifferent, and immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Li immediately smiled and said, "Marquis Zhang, there's no need for that. It's only right. Marquis Zhang has truly done so much for our Great Ming... I really can't think of any other way to reward Marquis Zhang! So I could only come up with this method, hehe!"

"Next, I will bestow honors upon General Hong Zhu..."

One by one, the generals were bestowed titles and rewards by Zhu Li, including the officers of Yuzhou Qingzhou Prefectures. Zhang Xingfeng, however, seemed oblivious, sitting quietly in his chair, controlling the Samadhi True Fire within his body, and slowly cultivating the "Six Revolutions Profound Body Art." This Fire Tempered Body required constant cultivation. Zhang Xingfeng also cultivated internally during his normal activities, but at a much slower pace. Now, controlling it with his consciousness, the speed was much faster.

He could focus on two things at once, cultivating while keeping an eye on what was happening inside the main hall.

Finally, all the generals had been rewarded. Zhu Li, seemingly parched, took a sip of tea, rested for a moment, and then said seriously, "Hmm... This great victory is unprecedented, so I have decided—"

A general amnesty has been declared!

After speaking, Zhu Li looked at the ministers below with shining eyes.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then immediately cheered, with many ministers singing things like "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhang Xingfeng was also slightly taken aback. A general amnesty was no small matter. He really hadn't expected Zhu Li to do this. Zhang Xingfeng still didn't truly understand what such an unprecedented victory meant for an emperor!

While Zhang Xingfeng was half listening and half cultivating, the bestowal of rewards finally ended. Zhang Xingfeng declined Zhu Li's invitation to a banquet and returned to the Star Peak Manor. Zhang Xingfeng had not been back for some time.

**************************

Upon returning to the Star Peak Manor and learning that Lang Feng and the others were in the back garden, Zhang Xingfeng immediately entered the Eight Formations.

As he walked, Zhang Xingfeng suddenly froze. He saw the grave, the grave where Rou was buried. Zhang Xingfeng at it, and for some reason, his body trembled, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Zhang Xingfeng was shocked to discover that he hadn't thought about Rou at all during this time, not even when he went to sleep at night. Ever since Lang Feng was seriously injured, he hadn't thought about her at all. He used to think about her every day, so why hadn't he thought about her even once since then?

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly touched the diary on his chest, but his emotions remained completely unchanged. "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? Have I already forgotten Rou?" Zhang Xingfeng muttered to himself.

"How could I forget Rou? How could I?" Zhang Xingfeng frowned.

With a slight movement of his hands, wisps of Chaos Power immediately surged toward the tomb made of the Mysterious Sky Stone. Suddenly, the tombstone slowly moved, and a door appeared where the tombstone had been.

Zhang Xingfeng stepped inside. It was a world of ice and snow, the temperature of which Zhang Xingfeng had controlled with an array; cold was the only dominant color.

The woman in the ice coffin remained as beautiful and captivating as ever; the ice coffin preserved her beauty just as it had always been. Zhang Xingfeng gazed at her, his expression incredibly complex.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?" Zhang Xingfeng kept asking himself, he couldn't believe he could forget Rou.

Zhang Xingfeng's face began to turn red, and even sweat began to appear on his forehead, but Zhang Xingfeng continued to look at Rou, staring intently. He kept asking himself questions.

"What's wrong with me? Do I really not love Rou anymore? No, no, I love Rou... But why... why..." Zhang Xingfeng's body began to emit bursts of heat.

Suddenly, the heat around Zhang Xingfeng disappeared, and a sweet smile appeared on his face, "Rou, I finally understand."

Zhang Xingfeng glanced deeply at Rou in the ice coffin, then abruptly turned and left, a smile on his face.

"Big brother, you're not fully recovered yet, and you're already like this. If Leyue finds out, the consequences will be more than you can handle!"

Lang Feng turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see Zhang Xingfeng walking over. He immediately laughed and scolded, "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Leyue would never do that to me. Besides, my body is much better now, and my True Primordial Energy is recovering quite quickly. I estimate I'll be fully recovered in less than half a year!"

Zhang Xingfeng laughed and said, "Of course! Don't you even know how many pills I've used up for you!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng's smile vanished, and he said, "Let's get down to business. This time, when Zhu Li bestowed titles and rewards, he actually gave you a temporary palace called Dongfeng Garden, which he presented to you, elder brother!"

Lang Feng was taken aback, then suddenly laughed and said, "Don't lie to me. How could Dongfeng Garden be given to me? According to Leyue, Dongfeng Garden is Zhu Li's favorite palace. Leyue asked Zhu Li for it several times, but she failed. Even if he were to bestow it upon me, he would never give Dongfeng Garden to me!"

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly smiled, thinking to himself, "Zhu Li, you really are something else. You actually gave away your favorite palace. I bet you planned to give it to Leyue and Brother Lang Feng for their wedding a long time ago. Leyue asked for it, but you wouldn't give it to her. Now you're doing me a favor by sending the palace over through me. Do you think I'll be happy about that? Sigh... it seems I'm actually starting to like you!"

Zhang Xingfeng looked at Lang Feng and said, "You really shouldn't disbelieve him. Zhu Li announced it in the Golden Palace. I reckon someone will bring the keys in a few days. When you go to live in Dongfeng Garden, you'll know whether it's true or not!"

Lang Feng said incredulously, "Second brother, what you said is really true! Oh my god, you really haven't been bad to me, Lang Feng! Leyue Yue has told me several times that she wants Dongfeng Garden, and I've been so worried about it. Now it's been solved so easily, hahaha... hahahaha..."

Seeing how happy Lang Feng was, Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly as well.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lang Feng's wedding is just around the corner. The location of the wedding has also been decided: Dongfeng Garden. Zhu Li has put in a lot of effort for this wedding. The elites of the entire Central Army Corps have been selected to serve as guards at Dongfeng Garden. In addition, several top chefs from the Imperial Kitchen have been sent to Dongfeng Garden to serve the young couple Leyue Lang Feng.

Of course, Zhang Xingfeng's calligraphy is much larger than Zhu Li's!

The thousand Innate Master all came from the Beast Legion. Zhang Xingfeng had also refined 20,000 spirit pills in the past few months, bringing the number of Innate Master in the Beast Legion to a terrifying level. In Zhang Xingfeng's words, "Li Tianxiang has 50,000 Innate Master. We still need to keep working hard!"

A thousand Innate Master completely protected the entire Dongfeng Garden, leaving the elites of the Central Legion to stand aside.

In addition, Zhang Xingfeng commissioned Uncle Zhang to carve a colossal jade sculpture of a Dragon Soaring Phoenix Dancing in Dragon Soaring Phoenix Dancing. The entire sculpture was made of high-grade purple jade, standing five meters tall and ten meters long. The jade alone was estimated to be worth five million taels of silver! Uncle Zhang's astonishing carving further elevated the value of this giant jade sculpture to its peak. Experts estimated that such a large Dragon Soaring Phoenix Dancing sculpture, made of high-grade purple jade and in a Zhang Kuang style, would be worth around fifty million taels of silver!

Fifty million taels of silver!

Even Dragon Soaring's price was much lower. Although Dragon Soaring used Flawless Jade, which was extremely noble, the price of purple jade was only about half that of Flawless Jade. Moreover, that piece of purple jade was really too big, and it was a whole piece. Most importantly, Zhang Kuang must have put in much more effort than Dragon Soaring to carve such a large jade piece! That's why its price was so high!

With its Dragon Soaring Phoenix Dancing, this is truly the world's finest jade carving!

Lang Feng's wedding finally arrived, and representatives from various powerful forces appeared. Even Zhu Li was slightly shocked. Not only the Four Great Families, but also Shaolin, the Demon Hall, and Horizon Sea Pavilion had sent people! What shocked Zhang Xingfeng the most was that the Esoteric Sect had also sent people to offer their congratulations, and even subtly apologized for the battle at Wind and Rain Pass that day! They seemed to care nothing about the deaths of the Great Elder and Kasha.

After Leyue and Lang Feng exchanged vows, Zhang Xingfeng and the others began to drink the wedding wine.

Zhang Xingfeng was in a great mood today, all smiles, and unusually, he kept drinking and talking loudly with the representatives of various forces, showing no trace of a cultivator.

"Everyone, I'm so happy to see my elder brother on his wedding day, haha... My brother is my sworn brother... We Wind and Rain Pass that day..." Zhang Xingfeng, his face flushed, raised his wine glass and suddenly glanced around, a flash of cold light in his eyes.

Representatives from the surrounding major powers knew Zhang Xingfeng was intimidating them, warning them not to touch Lang Feng and his wife, lest the tragedy of the Yuan Mongolia repeat itself. Naturally, the representatives immediately hinted to Zhang Xingfeng from various angles how friendly they were and that they had absolutely no ill intentions. Regarding the attack on the 700,000 Yuan Mongolia by lightning, all the major powers believed it was Zhang Xingfeng's doing. After this battle, who would dare provoke Zhang Xingfeng?

"Let's not talk about anything unpleasant, haha... everyone, come on... drink!" Zhang Xingfeng raised his glass again, and the important figures beside him immediately stood up and raised their glasses to drink together. The entire Dongfeng Garden was immersed in lively conversation, everyone laughing and drinking.

That day, Zhang Xingfeng got drunk.

This chapter is a bit more brief, as Volume Six has ended and Volume Seven is about to begin. Volume Seven will feature Primordial Era primordial Demon Beast and the legacy left behind by the seven Demon Emperors of the Demon Realm... In this volume, Li Tianxiang will also have his final showdown with Zhang Xingfeng... In this volume... Zhang Xingfeng's love story will also reach its conclusion... All will be revealed in Volume Seven— The Primordial Era War of Treasures!
