"You are too polite, Lord Nangong. It was not me who saved you. It was Senior Wuming who saved you. I just brought the resurrection scroll here."
Xiao Fan stepped aside and said.
It’s better not to take advantage of your father-in-law. It’s only a matter of time before his strength is exposed.
Nangong Jin said, "Xiao Shidu, if it weren't for your help, Senior Wuming wouldn't have been able to take out the treasure to save me. Senior Wuming has been very kind to me, and so have you, Xiao Shidu."
Qin Zhentian said, "Marquis Nangong, you will stay at Xiao Fan's residence for the next few days. You will be weak for a while, so it will be safe there."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Nangong Jin said respectfully.
Outside the training room, many of Nangong Jin's personal guards gathered, each with a look of grief and anger on their faces. Nangong Jin had been good to them, but under their protection, Nangong Jin actually died.
Some of the guards who had been somewhat slack blamed themselves immensely.
If they had set up a large formation, if they had been more vigilant, perhaps Nangong Jin would not have been killed by the enemy.
The barrier covering the training room disappeared at this time.
Led by Qin Zhentian, Xiao Fan and others walked out of the training room. Nangong Jin's personal guards looked at Nangong Jin in disbelief.
——Nangong Jin is still alive, there is no need to hide this. If the news is concealed, what will happen if there is chaos in the Tiger Guards Corps?
"What are you standing there for? Haven't you seen His Majesty and His Highness?"
Nangong Jin said in a deep voice.
"Greetings to His Majesty, and to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Dozens of personal guards saluted hurriedly. Some of them were quite skeptical because they had witnessed Nangong Jin's beheading with their own eyes.
They can understand recovering broken arms and legs, but how can one be resurrected if his head is gone and all the blood is almost drained?
"Stand up."
Qin Zhentian said calmly.
The guards stood up.
Nangong Jin said, "I was about to die, but the demigod behind Xiao Fan saved me. I will go to the Xiao Mansion to recuperate for a while. All of you return to the barracks."
"Yes, my lord."
All the guards said in unison.
Soon Xiao Fan and the others left, and Qin Zhentian followed them to Xiao Fan's mansion, where the formation was still being arranged.
The layout of the formation for the entire mansion involved many aspects, and it would take at least a month to complete. However, the most basic outer defense formation of the Xiao Mansion was now complete.
"Senior Wuming, I am Nangong Jin. Thank you for saving my life. I will always remember this and repay you."
Nangong Jin bowed to the empty space and said, in his opinion, there was a high probability that the nameless senior was secretly watching them at this moment.
Xiao Fan was speechless.
Nangong Jin called himself a junior, and he didn't know what his expression would be when he found out later that he was the so-called unknown senior.
"Thank you, Senior Wuming!"
Qin Zhentian also clasped his fists towards the air.
Nangong Jin is the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the general of the Huben Corps. His death will have a significant impact on the entire Tianlong Empire.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhenyuan, if Senior Wuming contacts me again, I will convey your gratitude to him."
Xiao Fan spoke.
Qin Zhentian nodded slightly: "Xiao Fan, your contribution is also very great. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"
Although Xiao Fan and Qin Xuan have a close relationship, Qin Zhentian, as the emperor, rewards and punishes differently, and those who deserve rewards must still be rewarded.
But Qin Zhentian didn’t know what to reward him with. Xiao Fan had plenty of money. After buying the house, Xiao Fan still had 1.8 billion Tianlong coins left.
Xiao Fan also has treasures. He has four imperial artifacts and a demigod-level treasure. Xiao Fan cannot use ordinary treasures.
"Your Majesty, will you continue to promote me?"
Xiao Fan coughed lightly.
Nangong Jin looked at Xiao Fan with a strange expression. Xiao Fan was already a fourth-rank tutor to the crown prince at such a young age, yet he was still so obsessed with promotion?
Qin Zhentian was not surprised. Xiao Fan didn't want anything else before, just a promotion. But if he was promoted again, he would be a third-rank official.
It's a bit hard to understand that a third-rank official is the prince's tutor.
Qin Xuan then said, "Father, I think Xiao Fan can be given a title, but his official rank won't be promoted any further in the short term."
Qin Zhentian's eyes lit up.
He had forgotten this.
The official position cannot be given too high at once, but the title can be. If Xiao Fan has a high title, he can also gain a lot of imperial luck.
"Xiao Fan, although you have no cultivation, you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I will appoint you as the Earl of Wenchang, and your hometown Wanyang County will be your fiefdom. You can have 3,000 private soldiers."
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.
In the Tianlong Empire, the status of an earl is similar to that of a second-rank official, but if others were given the choice, they would definitely choose to become an earl.
Once the official position is lost, it is gone. The earl title can be inherited for three generations. After three generations, it will be downgraded, but there is still a viscount title.
In addition, earls are divided into earls with fiefs and earls without fiefs. The fiefdom can include a county and three thousand private armies, which is definitely the best among earls.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Fan knelt down and said.
He didn't feel any resentment about kneeling to Qin Zhentian now. Qin Zhentian was Qin Xuan's father. What was wrong with kneeling to his father-in-law?
"Please stand up."
Qin Zhentian said, "Xiao Fan, with your merits, you can be promoted directly to the rank of Marquis, but our Tianlong Empire has never had a precedent of direct promotion to the rank of Marquis. We can talk about it after you are promoted to the rank of Marquis."
"Your Majesty, it would be wonderful to be an earl."
Xiao Fan stood up and smiled.
By becoming a count, he can obtain a lot more imperial luck, and his body can also accommodate more imperial luck.
Besides, after becoming a count, he would have fiefdoms and could also have 3,000 private troops.
This will allow some members of the Death Legion to appear openly.
