Hua Ju came out of the inn and went to Sun An again to give him acupuncture treatment.

After this period of acupuncture and medication, Sun An recovered very quickly and was basically all healed. He does not need acupuncture anymore and only needs to take medication for two more days to consolidate.

After returning home, Hua Ju first went to see his parents and told them about entering the palace.

However, in order to prevent his parents from being unable to sleep at night, he did not tell them about his promotion.

When he returned to his residence, Hua Ju practiced his kung fu first, then went to the pharmacy to look at the medicinal materials delivered in the morning, and then returned to the bedroom to spread out the drawing paper and start drawing.

Huizong asked him to deliver comic books every three days, but he would be busier and busier in the future, and it would be impossible to draw them every time, so he would draw more and save them when he had time, and then give them to him directly.

I continued to draw until the end of Kuaizi, and after drawing nearly three books, Huaju stopped writing and went to bed to meditate.

The next morning, Hua Ju said to Hua Yaozu when he went out: "Dad, please help me prepare some things. I will use them when I come back in the evening."

"what to prepare?"

"I'm afraid you won't remember. I wrote it down on paper and put it on the table in my room. You can go and get it yourself. Remember, you must go in person." Hua Ju said mysteriously.

Hua Yaozu glared at him and said, "You stinky boy, you are still messing around with your father, tell me honestly what the hell are you doing?"

Hua Ju said as he walked out: "I just want you to help me prepare some things. If you don't believe it, forget it. Mom, then help me prepare some things."

"Okay, Mom will help you prepare." Zheng said with a smile.

"Thank you, mother, I'm leaving." After saying that, Hua Ju turned around and went out.

Hua Yaozu put his hands behind his back and said: "This kid is mysterious and mysterious. I don't know what he is doing."

Mrs. Zheng ignored him and left with a personal maid. Hua Yaozu knew that Zhi must be going to Hua Ju's residence and immediately followed him.

"Didn't you say he was up to something? Why are you following him?" Zheng said angrily.

Hua Yaozu said: "Of course I want to know what he is doing. If he dares to tease me, I won't deal with him."

Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyes at him and said, "You know how to show off your power in front of your son. If you have the ability, go out and show off your power."

"What's wrong outside, I'm just as majestic outside. You know, yesterday I went to Zhang's house for a banquet, and the table was full of people. They responded to what I said, especially Shao Jinfu, who didn't even dare to raise his head when he was sitting there.

And that Shang Youcai didn’t dare to look at me." Hua Yaozu said proudly.

For so many years, every time he went to a banquet, he was always flattering others. It had never been like yesterday when everyone surrounded him and flattered him. The feeling of being supported by everyone really made him feel comfortable.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at him with disdain and said, "Is that your majesty? I do it for the sake of my son, otherwise who would take you seriously?"

"My son's face is my face. I am his father. How dare he deny me the glory?" Hua Yaozu said a little unreasonably.

Zheng stopped messing around with him and quickened her pace, and Hua Yaozu quickly followed.

When she arrived at Hua Ju's bedroom, Zheng saw a roll of yellow and orange stuff on the table, with a note underneath.

"What's this?"

"do not move."

Just as Mrs. Zheng was about to reach out and pick up the thing, Hua Yaozu grabbed her hand.

"What's wrong?"

Zheng made him so nervous, and he became nervous as well.

Hua Yaozu looked at the thing carefully again, and after confirming that it was an imperial edict, he said with some excitement: "This is an imperial edict."

"Imperial decree!"

Zheng said in confusion: "Aren't the two imperial edicts that His Majesty conferred the title of Ju'er and the one that asked him to investigate the case both in our house? Why did another edict come out?"

The two imperial edicts that Huizong had previously issued to Hua Ju were taken away by Hua Yaozu on the grounds that Hua Ju was too careless and the edicts were not safe in his place, and were placed in their house.

"Needless to say, His Majesty must have given it to me again."

"His Majesty gave it to him again, isn't it to ask him to investigate another case?" Zheng asked.

"He is leading the army, so he can always be asked to investigate cases."

"Then what is this imperial edict for?"

"How do I know? Don't I just know this?"

"Then take a look."

Zheng shook his hand away and was about to pick up the imperial edict. Hua Yaozu grabbed it again and said, "This is the imperial edict. You cannot disrespect it. You must kowtow first before you can read it."

The couple, together with the maid, knelt down and kowtowed three times to the imperial edict. After standing up, Hua Yaozu carefully picked up the edict and opened it.

"Jin was granted the title of Marquis of Yongning, and was granted the title of Bachelor of the Hanlin Palace. He was rewarded with two thousand acres of land, five thousand taels of gold, and ten thousand taels of silver." Hua Yaozu's hands trembled involuntarily.

"What, Ju'er has become a Marquis!" Mrs. Zheng also exclaimed in surprise.

Hua Yaozu felt like he was dreaming and couldn't believe it was true. He read the imperial edict from beginning to end again and laughed loudly when he was convinced that it was true.

"Hahaha, my son has been promoted to a noble rank again. My son is now the Marquis."

Mrs. Zheng clasped her hands together and kept chanting: "Thank you, ancestors, for your blessing. Thank you, ancestors, for your blessing. Ju'er is the Marquis."

"This bastard didn't tell us the great news. He even pretended to be mysterious and let us see it ourselves. If he comes back, I won't be able to deal with him properly." Hua Yaozu said excitedly as he looked at the imperial edict.

Mrs. Zheng pushed him and said, "My son must have wanted to surprise us if he didn't tell us. If you dare to trouble him, I will never stop with you."

Hua Yaozu said with a smile: "I'm just saying that my son has brought so much face to our Hua family. I don't even have time to love him, so I don't want to cause trouble for him."

Then he took the imperial edict and was about to leave. Zheng grabbed him and asked, "Why are you going?"

Hua Yaozu said: "Of course I have to tell my relatives and friends about this great news. I will send someone to inform them now."

Mrs. Zheng snatched the imperial edict from his hand and said, "You were just so happy that you forgot that your son asked us to prepare things for him?"

Hua Yaozu looked at the note on the table, picked it up and opened it. The names of some things were densely written on it. After reading it, he said, "Why does this kid want these things?"

"Why do you care so much? Even if I tell you, you don't understand. Just prepare when your son asks you to prepare. Anyway, I'm sure he will need it." Mrs. Zheng said.

Hua Yaozu said: "I'm just saying something casually. I didn't say I wasn't prepared."

"Then you should hurry up and get ready."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Hua Yaozu walked out and when he passed by Mrs. Zheng, he snatched the imperial edict from her hand and ran out.

"You damn old man, stop here."

Mrs. Zheng knew that he must be showing off the imperial edict, so she quickly chased him out, but by the time she chased him out of the yard, Hua Yaozu had already disappeared.

Hua Ju went to Shengyang Inn to pick up Xue Yuanhui, and then went straight to the escort camp.

Because it was too early and Yang Jian hadn't arrived yet, Hua Ju took this opportunity to first command Luo Zhihao, Zuo Daolin and other military commanders, the military commander, Yuhou, the other military commanders, and the battalion commanders below.

The boss called over and introduced Xue Yuanhui one by one.

Just after the introduction, Yang Jian's carriage drove into the guard camp.

"Taifu Yang is here, go and greet him, and remember what I taught you." Hua Ju said in a low voice.

"Yes, I have remembered it."

As soon as Yang Jian got off the carriage, he saw Hua Ju walking over with someone. He immediately said with a smile: "Wenshan, you came very early."

"I've met Taifu."

"You and I don't need to be polite," Yang Jian said.

Hua Ju glanced back at Xue Yuanhui. Xue Yuanhui took two steps forward, clasped his fists and bowed in salute: "Xue Yuanhui, my subordinate, comes to see the Grand Tutor."

"You are Xue Yuanhui!" Yang Jian asked.

"It's my subordinate."

Yang Jian looked him up and down carefully and saw that he was physically strong and majestic. He was indeed much more heroic than the current generals in the escort army. He couldn't help but admire Hua Ju's ability to discern people.

"Marquis Xue Duyu, you are able to join the escort army this time only because of Deputy Commander Hua's help in speaking in front of His Majesty. You must thank him properly in the future," Yang Jian said.

Xue Yuanhui said: "Both gentlemen have shown kindness to Xiaguan. I will definitely listen to your instructions and thank you two."

Yang Jian was very satisfied with Xue Yuanhui's answer, laughed twice, and then went to his command barracks with Hua Ju.

When they arrived at the barracks, Yang Jian first asked Xue Yuanhui about his previous situation in Gaotang Prefecture, and then asked him some questions about leading troops, and Xue Yuanhui answered them one by one.

"How is your bow and horse riding and shooting?" Yang Jian asked again.

"Back to Taifu, I have been practicing archery, horse riding, and archery since I was a child, and I am quite capable." Xue Yuanhui said confidently.

Among the many former rulers of Gaotang Prefecture, Xue Yuanhui's martial arts was the most outstanding. With a pair of swords in his hands, dozens of people could not get close to him.

"Would you like to practice in person?" Yang Jian wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Xue Yuanhui said: "The master has an order, how dare my subordinates disobey it?"

Yang Jian said to Hua Ju: "Wenshan, let's take a look."

Hua Ju smiled and said, "Okay, let's take a look."

When they came to the training outside the barracks, Yang Jian and Hua Ju sat on the reviewing stand built with wood. Luo Zhihao, Zuo Daolin and other commanders were listed on the left and right sides.

Someone brought a horse to Xue Yuanhui. After saluting Yang Jian and Hua Ju, he flew onto the horse, and the soldiers handed him a bow and arrows.
