Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 430: Closer Relationship with Beihai

Xu Ming returned to Wudu not simply by flying on his own.

Xu Ming is just a cultivator at the Longmen Realm, and he does not yet have the ability to break through the void like a cultivator at the fifth realm.

Beihai is a long way from Wudu. If Xu Ming really wants to fly there, it will take at least one or two years.

By then, let alone returning to Wu State to report to Emperor Wu, by the time I return to Wu State, I'm afraid that wars will have broken out all over the world.

So Xu Ming used a flying boat given by Beihai.

In just two months, Xu Ming will be returning to Wu State.

Xu Ming first sent a letter to the Wu Kingdom via flying sword, expressing that he would be back soon, and predicted a relatively accurate time. Otherwise, it would be impolite for him to go back so rashly.

And when Xu Ming arrived at the gate of Wudu, he saw with his own eyes that Emperor Wu came to the gate with civil and military officials to pick him up.

Except for Wu Yanhan, all the civil and military officials were present, even Mr. Xiao.

All the civil and military officials were looking forward to it, and when they saw a flying boat approaching, their eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Xu Ming naturally knew that they were welcoming him, but the specifications and etiquette were a bit too excessive. It looked like the etiquette for welcoming a king or a noble...

Xu Ming quickly put away the flying boat and flew down.

"Your Majesty, I, Xu Ming, pay my respects to you."

Walking in front of Emperor Wu, Xu Ming bowed respectfully.

"Hahahaha, there's no need to be so polite, No. 1 scholar." Emperor Wu looked at the young man he admired most with satisfaction and helped him up with his own hands. "I have been waiting for the No. 1 scholar to pinch me for a long time."

"Your Majesty has come in person to the gate of the imperial capital. I am truly terrified." Xu Ming slowly straightened up.

"What's the big deal?" Emperor Wu looked very generous and said loudly, "Lord Xu has devoted his life to the Wu Kingdom. This time Lord Xu went to Beihai as an envoy. Beihai and Wu Kingdom have become friends. This is a great achievement. I want to confer a title on you! I will confer a title on you vigorously!"

When Emperor Wu said the three words "I will confer a title on you", he pointed at Xu Ming heavily and his voice became louder, as if Emperor Wu wanted to say this to all the civil and military officials.

When the other civil and military officials heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

They knew that His Majesty loved this young man very much, and they also knew that Lord Xu had made great contributions to the State of Wu during his mission to the North Sea.

It is well deserved that Lord Xu be rewarded.

But the problem is, His Majesty said it so solemnly in front of everyone, so the reward this time will probably not be low. It is very likely that Lord Xu will be directly granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister this time.

Your Majesty has waited too long for this opportunity.

After all, I have heard that His Majesty wants to confer the title of king on this number one scholar, but this number one scholar has no substantial achievements, so it is difficult to do so.

And now Lord Xu has been sent as an envoy to the North Sea and has made great contributions. Officials throughout the Wu State know that with these contributions, it will be no problem for him to be granted a title of nobility.

His Majesty was even sending a signal to everyone - "From now on, Xu Ming is completely mine! Those of you who have ulterior motives, be careful!"

After all, when they were in the Rootless Secret Realm, someone instructed some cultivators to assassinate Lord Xu.

That incident not only aroused the anger of His Majesty, but also spread throughout the imperial capital, and the people were united in their hatred of the enemy.

"It is my duty to share your majesty's worries." Xu Ming continued to be polite.

To be honest, Xu Ming was also a little worried.

Being favored by the emperor is not a bad thing. I don’t know how many officials have tried their best to be favored by the emperor.

But the problem is that when a person is overvalued by the emperor, it is not entirely a good thing. "Xu Ming, you don't have to be so polite. Come on, come on, come to my carriage. I want to listen carefully to what you have been doing in Beihai these days. According to what they said, I am not satisfied at all!"

As he spoke, Emperor Wu had already pulled Xu Ming into the car.

Many officials felt uncomfortable when they saw this scene.

Ride with the emperor.

The last person who enjoyed this treatment was the current Prime Minister Xiao Mochen.

The result is now Xu Ming.

And if I remember correctly, Xiao Mochen was Xu Ming's enlightenment teacher.

Once a teacher, always a father. This kind of friendship between teachers and students is so strong.

By then, the power of the "Xiao Faction" will become increasingly stronger, and it may be truly unstoppable.

Xu Ming tried to be polite a few times, but under Emperor Wu's insistence, the Emperor even said, "Could it be that you, my dear, don't like to ride in the same carriage with me?" So Xu Ming had no choice but to get in the carriage.

On the carriage on the way to the palace, Xu Ming told Emperor Wu everything that had happened in the North Sea during these days, covering every detail.

Of course, Xu Ming definitely could not tell Emperor Wu about the relationship between himself and the Dragon Queen.

Emperor Wu listened to Xu Ming's story without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

Xu Ming felt that if he guessed correctly, Emperor Wu should be thinking about the current situation of the world.

Even Emperor Wu might be thinking about whether he should go all in on the North Sea now.

After all, the four seas are in chaos now, and may remain in chaos for a long time. If Emperor Wu directly bets on the North Sea, if the North Sea can succeed, the rewards for the Wu Kingdom will be huge.

But the problem is that Emperor Wu didn't know what Beihai's ambition was.

Emperor Wu heard from Xu Ming that Beihai wanted to control Donghai, but did Beihai want to unify the other two seas? This was a question mark.

And from Emperor Wu, Xu Ming also learned that a letter had actually arrived from Beihai a long time ago.

Emperor Wu showed the letter to Xu Ming.

This letter was written by the Dragon Queen herself. It clearly stated that Xu Ming had been of great help to Beihai during the Four Seas Ceremony, and Beihai was willing to use Xu Ming as a bridge to deepen its friendship with the Wu Kingdom.

Only then did Xu Ming understand why Emperor Wu was so happy to see him and shouted loudly that he would reward him.

Over the years, Beihai and other dynasty sects have only established superficial friendships at most.

In reality, Wu State was the first power to establish diplomatic relations with Beihai.

With the support of the North Sea, the voice of the Wu Kingdom will be much louder among the ten dynasties of the human race.

That's right.
Xu Ming felt uncomfortable when he saw the words "deeper friendship" written on the letter.

I always feel that this deeper friendship seems to have something else in mind.

"It's a pity that the Dragon Queen has no offspring, and I only have one daughter. There is no way for me to have a closer relationship with Beihai."

As he spoke, Emperor Wu sighed and looked at Xu Ming.

"Xu Ming, do you have any solution?"
