They couldn't get any information from Wang Cuishan about whether the Prince of Southern Xinjiang was Yan Mo or not, but at least they found out that the Prince of Southern Xinjiang had probably been cured of the poison by Wang Cuishan by sheer luck.
But how can a person escape on the open sea?
Immediately, Peng Ze took the last batch of antidote pills from the team and boarded the small boat with his men.
Madam Peng and her entourage continued their voyage.
Peng Ze thought that even if you escaped, you had only been on the run for less than twelve hours, and you could only be saved by getting ashore.
No matter how skilled he is, if he were to spread out from any direction on the ship, there are only three places where he can land.
One is the nameless island, the second is the coast of Jinan Kingdom, and the third is the coast of Southern Xinjiang.
Peng Ze has arranged his men well. This time, facing the lone Prince of Southern Xinjiang, he should be immune to poisoning again!
He's been soaking in the water; he doesn't believe he can still produce poison.
...
It took nearly half a year to conquer the southern border. Lu Zheng and Peng Sanlang were the first to make contributions, followed by Xue Qianyu.
The imperial decree for rewarding meritorious service has been issued, and Peng Sanlang is also ordered to personally escort the King and Princess of Southern Xinjiang to the capital.
His meaning was that the people of the southern border who wanted to be citizens of the Great Zhou could stay and live a good life, while those who did not should be escorted to the capital along with their king and princess!
He put Lu Zheng in charge of the southern border region for now, and he would select someone to take over. As for whether the southern border region should be established as a separate prefecture or divided among the surrounding prefectures, he would discuss it with his ministers based on the situation.
Lu Zheng was appointed as the Ningyuan General, a fifth-rank official. In the imperial edict, he was referred to as Zhou Yuan, the grandson of the Earl of Shancheng.
Because of various crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, the emperor still bestowed upon Grandpa Zhou the title of Earl of Shancheng.
He had his own ulterior motives; once Lu Zheng was granted the rank of Second Grade, he would directly write "Lu Zheng, the Heir Apparent of the Duke of Zhenguo".
He had initially intended to approve the Duke of Zhenguo's petition to appoint his second son as heir apparent, but then he thought it over and realized that this approach was too boring. He wanted to wait until Lu Zheng returned to the capital after achieving merit before watching the Lu family's grand spectacle.
Lu Zheng has the blood of his grandfather and great-grandfather. The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion should be filled with passionate men who lead troops to fight on the battlefield. He does not want the Duke of Zhenguo to fall into the hands of the Lu family's bunch of good-for-nothings in the future, and he does not want the Duke of Zhenguo, who was appointed by the Great Ancestor, to decline.
Lu Zheng was naturally unaware of the emperor's ulterior motives. After receiving the imperial edict, he could only sigh that he hadn't seen Xiao Xinxin for half a year.
He suddenly thought of Xue Qianyu, who was guarding the mountain. Well, that guy couldn't go back to Kuncheng either, and had to stay there to guard it. He felt a little better.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng suddenly wanted to laugh. In their past life, they had stopped seeing each other because of the Gu sisters, but in this life, they were guarding the same place because of the Lu sisters. How ironic...
Gu Xin learned of Lu Zheng's investiture on the tenth day of the eighth lunar month.
She was as happy as if she had become a general, and she picked up her pen to write a letter to Lu Zheng. Now that the war between the Great Zhou and the Southern Frontier was over, she could write letters again.
By the time she finished writing the letter, it was already afternoon.
When she gave the letter to Bai Si to deliver, she saw Uncle Gu return happily.
Before she could ask, she saw her fourth uncle and aunt and Grandpa Yang.
She ran over quickly: "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, Grandpa Yang, you're finally here! I've missed you so much!"
Uncle Gu said without any mercy, "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, don't listen to this girl. She's busy counting her money all day and doesn't have time for you!"
