"Commandery Governor Wang is interested. I will lead my army back to Great Xuan today. Just guard Upper Valley Commandery and stay safe."
After that, Su Fei said no more, raised his hand and waved his magic power, and his voice spread throughout the army.
"The army sets off and returns."
"Follow orders."
One hundred thousand soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the countryside, the flags were fluttering, and the war horses neighed.
Du Tianwu immediately mobilized his mount and followed Su Fei. The army was like a long steel dragon, slowly turning its direction and moving steadily towards the Great Xuan border, with momentum like a rainbow.
Wang Huai'an led a group of officials and stood respectfully by the roadside, watching Su Fei and the 100,000-strong army go away until they completely disappeared from the skyline, then they slowly straightened up. The respect and reluctance on their faces instantly faded away, replaced by a smile.
He looked at the direction in which the army was retreating and muttered.
"Nirvana Realm is a strong man. He has reached a state that has never been heard of. Great Xuan will be unstoppable in the future. Yan Kingdom is like an ant in front of Great Xuan. I have to make plans early and leave a way out for myself."
A hundred thousand troops marched all the way, with flags covering the sun, heading south from the Yan Kingdom Upper Valley Commandery, speeding towards the Great Xuan border.
Wherever the 100,000-strong army passed by, there was order and momentum.
Along the way, the defenders at the Yan Kingdom checkpoint saw the flags of the Great Xuan Army and Su Fei in the distance, and they all let the road go without any obstruction.
Now Yan Kingdom who doesn't know yet, this Marquis Su who came from Great Xuan wiped out White Lotus Sect at a young age and forced Yan Kingdom to cede the land of three counties to Great Xuan.
Now he has broken through to the legendary Nirvana Realm, a supreme powerhouse.
One hundred thousand Great Xuan Army spent almost a month on the road and successfully entered the territory of Great Xuan.
On this day, when Su Fei and Du Tianwu led the troops to arrive outside the imperial city gate, it was already noon.
The main gate of the imperial city is wide open, and a red carpet is spread on the floor, extending from the city gate to the end of the official road.
There were guards of honor on both sides of the official road, Golden Armor Guard soldiers were holding axes and axes, bells and drums were ringing, ritual music was playing, gongs and drums were noisy, and the scene was extremely grand.
Obviously, I have received the news a long time ago, and I am waiting here to greet Su Fei.
Su Fei reined in the horse and was slightly startled.
In front of the royal road, Emperor Xuan was dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a crown, standing under the high platform. Next to him were the crown prince Zhao Yan and several princes.
Behind them are the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, ranked in two classes, everyone wearing court uniforms and looking respectful.
This is the highest standard for Great Xuan to welcome triumphal heroes. The emperor personally greets them, which is unprecedented.
Su Fei got off his horse, straightened his clothes, and stepped forward.
When Emperor Xuan saw him coming, he had a bright smile on his face and his eyes were full of joy and excitement. Without waiting for Su Fei to salute, he took the lead to greet him quickly, his voice loud and clear, which spread throughout the audience.
"Marquis Su, thank you for your hard work, welcome Marquis Su back to Great Xuan."
"Welcome back Marquis Su."
"Marquis Su works hard."
Hundreds of civil and military officials, Golden Armor Guard honor guards, all echoed loudly, and the sound shook the sky.
Su Fei took a step forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty, Su Fei, has lived up to your majesty's trust, lived up to Great Xuan officers and men, and lived up to his mission. I have ordered Yan Kingdom to cede the three counties of Black Mountain, Fishing Sun, and Clear River. I hereby return my order."
After that, he took out the bright yellow Yan Kingdom edict, held it in both hands, and handed it over respectfully.
Emperor Xuan took it with both hands, unfolded it carefully, and glanced at the words on it and the Yan Kingdom jade seal mark. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became, his hands trembled slightly, and he looked up and sighed.
"Blessed by my ancestors, I have been in office for many years and have been looking forward to making achievements. Today, I can finally expand the territory and acquire the three counties of the Yan Kingdom. After my death, I went underground. I am finally worthy of the ancestors of the Zhao family."
He suddenly looked at Su Fei, his eyes burning.
"Marquis Su, you are my Great Xuan's meritorious official, an unparalleled meritorious one. I cannot describe the greatness of your contribution. According to the etiquette, as a monarch, I cannot salute my subordinates, but today, I must thank you."
Emperor Xuan looked around and ordered loudly.
"Prince."
"My son is here."
"You lead all the civil and military officials to salute Marquis Su to thank Marquis Su for his great contribution to Great Xuan's expansion of territory."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty were shocked.
It has never happened before for a prince to lead hundreds of officials to kneel down and worship a minister.
Prince Zhao Yan's face changed slightly, his eyes flickered, and he felt a little reluctant.
But Emperor Xuan's decree was given, and he did not dare to disobey his father. He could only suppress his unwillingness and walk to the front of the hundred officials.
He shouted and knelt down.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, regardless of their rank or status, all knelt on the ground, covered in darkness, uniformly, and shouted in unison:
"Thank you Marquis Su for opening up territory for me Great Xuan, Marquis Su is mighty."
Among the crowd, Imperial Guard's governor Lei Chongxiao was also kneeling. This former Su Fei's old boss and guide was now kneeling on the ground.
He didn't have anything to be embarrassed about. He secretly raised his head and winked at Su Fei, with a teasing smile at the corner of his mouth, looking proud of "I knew you could do it."
Su Fei stood there, looking at Lei Chong's appearance, a little dumbfounded.
But when he saw the civil and military officials of the court kneeling on the ground, even the prince bowed his head.
He spoke quickly.
"Your Majesty, Prince, all lords, please get up quickly. This is a matter within the scope of ministers. I cannot bear such a great gift."
Emperor Xuan waved his hand and said loudly.
"If you can afford it, you Su Fei can afford it. If it weren't for you, how long would it take for Great Xuan to become famous outside the country and let Yan Kingdom willingly cede the land? You deserve today's gift."
Prince Zhao Yan felt that it was almost done, and preached in a deep voice to the civil and military officials of the court.
"Plain body."
All civil and military officials stood up, and many officials subconsciously raised their hands and gently patted the dust on their knees.
This kind of action just revealed their complicated mood at the moment. They were awkward and somewhat unwilling to kneel before their ministers.
Du Tianwu stood next to Su Fei, looking at the different expressions of the civil and military officials in the court, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He felt that this was an opportunity to make Su Fei famous.
He took a step forward and reported loudly to Emperor Xuan.
"Your Majesty, today you only know that Marquis Su won the land of three counties for Great Xuan, but you don't know about a huge happy event. Marquis Su is no longer the it used to be. Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level, this time in the capital of the Yan Kingdom, Marquis Su triggered nine heavenly tribulations when he broke through the realm, and successfully survived the nine heavenly tribulations, breaking through to the legendary Nirvana Realm!"
"What? Nirvana Realm?"
Du Tianwu's words were like thunder, exploding outside the imperial city gate, instantly drowning out all the sounds of rituals and music.
Emperor Xuan was shaken all over, and the Yan Kingdom edict in his hand almost slipped out of his hand. The joy and excitement on his face were instantly replaced by another kind of extreme shock.
His eyes widened and he stared at Su Fei, his tone full of disbelief and even a bit trembling.
"Du Tianwu, what did you say? Nirvana Realm, Marquis Su him? He broke through to the Nirvana Realm?"
