Cultivation: Overturning the Rain and Turning the Clouds

After hearing Bai Zhenshan's words, Baidie was mixed with joy and worry.The good news is that Bai Zhenshan doesn't really value He Zhen, but treats him as a pawn, since he is a pawn, he can be discarded at any time.What is worrying is Bai Zhenshan's defense and balance against the Xu family.

Baidie always felt that they shouldn't treat the Xu family like this, but she didn't know where to start if she was to persuade Bai Zhenshan, and she felt rather depressed.

Bai Zhenshan didn't notice Baidie's expression, waved his hand and said, "Die'er, tell me about Xu Yaoting now."

"Xu Yaoting?" Bai Die looked up, and she clearly saw a deep vigilance in Bai Zhenshan's eyes, which made Bai Die's heart sink suddenly, and said nah, "He... what does he have?" Easy to say?"

Bai Zhenshan smiled slightly and said, "There is nothing to say? Shouldn't it? A 20-year-old Dzogchen has never appeared since the founding of the Qingyun Empire. This young man is really extraordinary. Even I, Can't see through him at all."

As he said that, the vigilance in the corners of Bai Zhenshan's eyes became more and more intense, which made Baidie's heart more and more tense.Looking at Bai Zhenshan's appearance, Baidie has no doubt at all, there will inevitably be a life-and-death struggle between him, Xu Yaoting, and the Xu family, which Baidie is unwilling to see no matter what.

"Father, Xu Yaoting is indeed very capable, but he is loyal to my Bai family. This time to suppress the rebellion of the enemy family is an example! Father, whether it is Xu Yaoting or the Xu family, they are all loyal to the country and the family. Those of our Bai family who have great kindness, we can't mess around, so as to chill the hearts of loyal ministers in the world!"

"You girl, didn't I say it before? We are just on guard, not deliberately harming the Xu family! You must not have the intention of harming others, but you must have the intention of preventing others!" Seeing that Bai Die's eyes were full of worry, Bai Zhenshan held her hand and comforted her with a smile.

Although Bai Die did not agree with Bai Zhenshan's actions in his heart, he also knew that the reason why their Bai family was almost destroyed in Qiu Wanli's hands today was because they had never been wary of him, so that they raised tigers.Speaking of which, Bai Zhenshan learned a lot of wisdom through a pitfall!

After pondering for a moment, Bai Die said quietly, "There are indeed many things that are puzzling about Xu Yaoting. About a year ago, he was still ignorant, and he only knew how to use the power of King Dingshan to do evil and cause trouble. But this year, he seems to be a different person, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and even his way of dealing with people has undergone great changes. The former Xu Yaoting can be said to be notorious, but anyone who mentions him People, all gritted their teeth with hatred. But now, it has completely changed, and when people mention him, they all praise him. Especially warriors in the world, they regard him as a hero, and his good reputation is enviable."

"Although people will change, but in just one year, such a big change has taken place, Die Er, do you think it is possible?"

"It's indeed a bit unbelievable! But maybe Xu Yaoting has some adventures."

"An adventure? An adventure can make a person improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. I believe that. But what kind of adventure can make a person's personality change drastically in a short period of time? You know, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change ah."

"Then... Dad means..."

"Restrain your sharpness, keep a low profile!" After a long while, Bai Zhenshan frowned and spat out these eight words.

"Hide your strengths and bide your time? What does Dad mean, all the bad deeds of Xu Yaoting in the past were all faked?"

Bai Zhenshan didn't answer and asked instead, "Besides this, can you think of a more reasonable explanation?"

"But the reason? Why did he do it?"

"Bearing the burden of humiliation, the plan is far away! So Die Er, we have to guard against the Xu family!"

Baidie fell silent, and had to admit in her heart that he seemed to be persuaded by Bai Zhenshan.

"Hey! Today's Xu family is really amazing. For three generations, Xu Wenchuan was the king of Dingshan, who was in charge of the capital, and had power over the court. Xu Tianlong, as the Marquis of Ningbei, had millions of cavalry under his command, dominating one side, echoing Xu Wenchuan The father and son alone are enough to give Weijun a headache, but now there is an even more outrageous Xu Yaoting. The 20-year-old Dzogchen is the well-deserved number one master of the Qingyun Empire. , I am afraid that no one is his opponent. Die Er, the power of the Xu family may have surpassed that of our Bai family."

As soon as Bai Zhenshan said these words, Baidie's heart skipped a beat and sank suddenly.She had never thought about these things before, and being told by Bai Zhenshan at this time really frightened her.The current Xu family is probably more powerful than the enemies who have become historical!

"If Xu Yaoting had an extraordinary cultivation base and no strategic strategy in his chest, he wouldn't be afraid. However, this boy, although young, has a deep and terrifying scheming. Qiu Wanli's plan to usurp the throne can be said to be flawless. But in Xu Yaoting's hands, it collapsed in an instant. Die'er, do you know that father Zongsheng has gone through countless lives and deaths, and has never been afraid of anyone, but for Xu Yaoting, I feel a faint fear."

"Ah? No way, Dad." Bai Zhenshan actually said such words, which really shocked Bai Die.

Bai Zhenshan shook his head, and let out a wry smile, with a somewhat helpless look on his face.

……

In the early morning of the next day, all civil and military officials flocked to the palace early.Because Wan Dong, Luo Xiao and others have made great contributions, Bai Zhenshan wants to reward them one by one, so he is also among the officials.

Although Wan Dong and his group of young people are all grassroots people without official rank, they have become popular among civil and military officials at this time.No matter who sees them, no matter how many officials they are, they must come forward to say hello and have a chat.Everyone knows in their hearts that today is the time for this group of young people to make contributions and make great achievements.Maybe there is nothing right now, but if you look a little farther, you can think that these young people will definitely be in the power center of the Qingyun Empire in the future.Wouldn't it be too late to curry favour?

But compared to these young generals, Wu Jinhun and Huyue, the two fathers, are more beautiful.Not to mention his own achievements and fame, the son he gave birth to is also so upbeat. He really complied with the old saying of Lao Tzu that a hero is a hero, and I don’t know how many people are envious.

Bai Zhenshan is also generous, rewarding all the way down, Hu Jingqi, Wu Jinhun, Wu Daozi and other civil and military personnel who supported Baidie yesterday, all were promoted to three ranks, with a reward of ten thousand taels!This time Qiu Wanli fell from power, all the gold, silver and treasures he had plundered over the years were filled into the national treasury, and the treasury was filled immediately.

The world has long been rumored that Qiu Wanli is as rich as an enemy country, and has several gold mountains in his family.The ransacking of the house this time really confirmed the rumors, and made the Bai family full!Naturally, this kind of bounty was not considered by Bai Zhenshan.

Luo Xiao, Huyue, Wu Yang, Zong Yang and other young generals, including Zong Qinghe, Ba Ling'er, and Wu Yue, were all conferred official positions. Although they were not very high, Luo Xiao, the highest, was no more than a sixth-rank rank. Everyone is seventh-rank, but this is the real deal after all. Compared with their age, the official title of receiving the imperial salary is already very remarkable, and the generals of Dingshanwei have also taken the first step to make contributions.

As for Wang Yangde, he himself was the number one scholar on the Qingyun List, a talent picked out of thousands of miles, and this time he made extraordinary achievements, and the reward was even richer. He was directly regarded as the fifth-rank Baron Yong by Bai Zhenshan, a head higher than Luo Xiao.Originally, Bai Zhenshan wanted to keep Wang Yangde by his side, but Wang Yangde politely refused.Although Bai Zhenshan was slightly displeased, he didn't make things difficult for others.

After a round of rewards, Bai Zhenshan finally set his sights on Xu Wenchuan and Wan Dong's grandparents.

"Prince Xu, you are now the king of Dingshan. You are under one person and above ten thousand people. It is really difficult for me to reward you."

Xu Wenchuan immediately bowed down and said, "What I do is for the righteousness of my ministers. I dare not ask for rewards for what should be done!"

Bai Zhenshan nodded, and said with a smile, "Prince Xu is so loyal and admirable. However, it is only fair if there are rewards and punishments! Uh! I have decided to crown you the Iron Hat King of Dingshan. In addition, your son Xu Tianlong, who has guarded the northern border for many years and has made outstanding contributions, is specially allowed to be named King of Ningbei and rewarded with 10 taels of gold!"

As soon as Bai Zhenshan finished speaking, there was an uproar all over the court.What an honor to have two kings from one family?Since the establishment of the Qingyun Empire, there has never been a family that has enjoyed such honor and favor.But after being amazed, and taking a closer look, compared to the Xu family's astounding achievements, this little reward seems to be nothing special.

The word 'iron hat' really doesn't mean much to Xu Wenchuan.Even if Bai Zhenshan didn't add these three words to Xu Wenchuan, wouldn't Xu Wenchuan be the Iron Hat King?With the Xu family's current power, do you, Bai Zhenshan, really dare to get rid of his 'wang title'?It is also hereditary, and it is a little bit see through.

Since Xu Wenchuan was already unsealable, it was only natural that he would reward his son instead.Furthermore, Xu Tianlong has guarded the northern border for so long and has made countless military achievements, so he should have been crowned king long ago.

Thinking about it this way, all the civil and military officials were relieved, even if he was upset like He Zhen, he had nothing to say in the face of such a reward.

"Thank you, Majesty Long En!" Xu Wenchuan accepted it generously, and bowed down to thank him.

After inviting Xu Wenchuan up, Bai Zhenshan looked at Xu Yaoting with a smile, and said, "Yaoting, you are my savior, tell me, how should I reward you?"

When did Xu Yaoting become the emperor's savior?Didn't Sun Daobai think of a way to cure his illness?

As soon as Bai Zhenshan's words came out, they immediately caused a lot of discussion among the crowd.It's just a discussion, but no one dares to ask!

"The grassroots don't ask for rewards, but only hope that the emperor's dragon will be healthy, so that our empire can live in peace and prosperity!"

Xu Yaoting may not know etiquette, but Wan Dong grew up in the royal family, and he knows the rules and etiquette!At this time, he bowed down in a well-regulated manner, and he followed the etiquette, and his words were very humble, which immediately brought a smile to Bai Zhenshan's face.
