Zhou Xu's thoughts flowed smoothly, and after quickly finishing the rewards and titles for the troops in the Southern Territory, he signaled the messenger to deliver them to the Southern Territory.
"General Xie has arrived, right?"
"Yes, he's already waiting in the side hall."
Zhou Xu nodded, then rose and headed toward the side hall.
Before he even entered, Zhou Xu saw Xie Liancheng sprawled in a chair with one leg crossed over the other, casually lifting a tea snack to his mouth. He looked utterly free of pressure.
However, the moment he saw Zhou Xu enter, Xie Liancheng immediately became a little more proper. He rose, saluted, and went through the formalities.
"Your subordinate Xie Liancheng pays his respects to His Majesty!"
"General, at ease."
After signaling for Xie Liancheng to rise, Zhou Xu turned and gave Shilke an order.
"Shilke, go stand guard outside. The general and I have something to discuss."
"Yes!"
Once Shilke left and the side hall's doors closed, Xie Liancheng instantly dropped all pretense.
"Damn, Hongxu, you're something else. Black Moon City has really developed. How about letting me bring Aru and the Seven Tigers over later?"
"Sure. I'll arrange for a team to go to Xianyang and bring them here, then arrange a residence for them in the city."
With a single sentence from Zhou Xu, even the residence was arranged for him. It was hardly worth mentioning.
This was not only because of their brotherly bond, but also because of Xie Liancheng's contributions to Great Zhou.
The Body Forging Fist alone was enough for Zhou Xu to keep handing residences out to him.
After quickly finishing the matter of moving his wife and children, Xie Liancheng did not beat around the bush and went straight into the serious business with Zhou Xu.
