After being stationed in Hangzhou for about a week, the emperor's imperial edict was also delivered.

Not surprisingly, it was an exciting award.

Each warrior can receive at least five taels to ten taels of silver as a reward based on his military exploits.

This amount of money may not sound like much, but it is no longer a small sum for ordinary soldiers. Their monthly military pay is only a mere six pieces of silver.

Money is still secondary. In this victory, many people relied on their military merits and obtained the title of Duke.

With this title, it is equivalent to rising from a common people to the class of scholars.

According to the title level of Tianqian, he can enjoy an annual salary of about fifty dan, and at the same time, he is also entitled to a hectare of land, a house and a servant.

In addition to Gongshi, there are also Shangzao, Hairpiniao and Bu Geng, all of whom belong to Shi.

There are many people in the army who can easily achieve this with this military merit.

But it’s a little more difficult to go up higher, including doctor, official doctor, public doctor, public car, and five doctors.

These five titles have changed from soldiers to officials.

The five highest-ranking officials, known as the Supreme Officials, were given 300 towns and families. They were a proper landlord class. Not only did their families have food and housing, but they were also exempted from corvee and military conscription. Only those who came here could be considered poor.

However, even with such a big victory, there are only a handful of warriors who can obtain this title.

Only Ge Zhuo and a few of the personal guards who followed Xu Tong, with the support of Wu Jie, were able to obtain such a title based on military merit.

As for other warriors, if they can achieve the goal of not updating, just have fun.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as Gao Zhuo and Gu Xibai, both of whom have reached the rank of concubine. What surprised Xu Tong the most was that besides himself, the person with the highest title in their team turned out to be the lucky boy Li Bo. .

His name was listed at the forefront of the military merit memorial written by Wu Jie, and he received the title of Young Master. It can be said that he soared to the sky and was promoted to fifteen levels in a row.

He served as the left forward and central defender under Wu Jie. If Xu Tong had not won the title of marquis in the battle at Shenwuguan, I am afraid that the person with the highest title and the most comfortable life in the team would be Li Bo.

Gao Zhuo and Gu Xibai were speechless when they learned that Li Bo had a higher title than themselves.

This is true to the old saying in the workplace: Those who immerse themselves in work will never be as good as those who work in front of the boss.

Fortunately, this thing is just a false name. After all, they don't plan to spread their wings here. With Xu Tong, the Shenwuhou, standing in front of them, it doesn't matter whether their title is high or not.

As for the rewards for the officers headed by Wu Jie and others, they will be given extra when they need to go to Lin'an Mansion to perform pilgrimage.

So Wu Jie found Xu Tong early in the morning and asked him to pack his bags and prepare to go to Lin'an City to face the saint.

Xu Tong's original intention was to take Lao Bai, Gao Zhuo, and a few personal guards and go straight to Lin'an, but Gu Xibai got a side mission, the coach of the Tiger Guard.

This side mission is for him to train soldiers here to improve their combat effectiveness to a higher level.

So Lao Bai simply stayed, studying martial arts on the one hand, and completing the mission on the other.

Xu Tong left him some dragon rice, which is very effective on the physical body and has excellent effects on his military training.

As for Gao Zhuo, this guy is even more reluctant to go.

He picked up a lot of corpses on the battlefield, and now he is preparing to spend time refining the corpses and has no time to spare.

Xu Tong asked Wu Jie for help, and temporarily transferred him to the Yangzhou prison as a prison guard. Although the prison there was not as resentful as Tianlao, it was not a good place, and it would be of no harm to him in refining corpses.

After completing these trivial matters, Xu Tong said goodbye to Wu Jie first, and after agreeing on a time to gather at Lin'an Mansion, Xu Tong set off first.

He did not take the official road with Wu Jie and others, but took the newly recovered Thunder and headed straight for Lin'an City.

I saw Thunder's wings spread high, soaring into the sky.

Xu Tong sat on it, his eyes slightly lowered, his mind as calm as water, and continued to meditate on the Nirvana Sutra, hoping to break through to the second level of the Nirvana Sutra before entering the Hajj.

Every time you break through a level of the Nirvana Sutra, you need to go through a test of Buddhism.

However, the first level is not very difficult. Xu Tong is sitting on Xunlei's back, his eyes are slightly lowered, and the Buddha's light appears on his body. The Buddha's light shines everywhere he passes, and the evil spirits retreat, and the momentum becomes stronger and stronger.

But Xu Tong didn't care and integrated himself wholeheartedly into the Nirvana Sutra.

This Nirvana Scripture has the word "Nirvana" in its name, and the method of practice is somewhat similar. Your soul is wrapped in the scriptures, and you are constantly reborn in Nirvana. Every time you experience it, your soul becomes more solid, and your thoughts become purer.

.

Those distracting thoughts will continue to be shattered along with the process of Nirvana.

As long as his thoughts are pure enough, Xu Tong's perception of everything will become stronger and stronger, just like in myths and legends, the Buddha picked up a bowl of water and said there were 84,000 insects in it.

Although it is a bit ridiculous, it may be that the water in the Ganges River is too dirty.

But the thought is strong enough, and Xu Tong will see everything from a different angle.

It is exactly this principle that I used the Nirvana Sutra to forcibly comprehend an inch of time.

According to his conjecture about the Nirvana Sutra, if he could practice this sutra to great perfection, he might be able to penetrate into the origin of all things like the Buddha.

Thunder's speed was very fast, and when he was about to reach Lin'an City, Xu Tong asked him to send him down, and then made him escape into his hall, so as not to be too ostentatious.

After all, everyone in the world knows that the Red Sparrow and Eagle King is Xiao Leshan's pet, and they don't know that he has snatched his love and forced him into his palace.

Putting on ordinary clothes, Xu Tong walked towards Lin'an, which was not far away.

Lin'an Mansion is the real Hangzhou. Although the country is ruined and the family is destroyed outside, the place is still prosperous and prosperous, and the economy is far more developed than any era in Xu Tong's other scripts.

Before entering the city, a large number of merchant ships were already shuttled outside the city.

Xu Tong originally wanted to go directly to Lin'an City to experience the prosperity of Daqian, but he didn't go far when he heard the chatter of merchants from the carriage passing by.

"Tonight's West Lake New Year's Eve party, I heard that Fairy Eighteen will come to accompany her, and even Miss Yao Qing will be there in person. Let's not miss it."

"It's true, it's rumored that Xu Guozhu will also come, I can't say...hehehehe..."

When Xu Tong heard that Xu Lai was mentioned in the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but prick up his ears. This hearing really refreshed Xu Tong's impression of the second best person in the world.

Xu Guodong had twenty-eight concubines, regardless of their origins. As long as Xu Guozhu took a fancy to a beautiful woman, she would definitely become a concubine. This is no longer a secret.

Completely different from the world's second best image in the world, in Lin'an City, the people's biggest impression of the Daqian God of War was that he was lustful.

The glorious deed of marrying twelve concubines in one month became famous throughout Lin'an City.

Every time he marries a concubine, the emperor must issue an edict, not to mention the concubine, even if it is a concubine, he must give her a good name.

So this month the emperor directly issued twelve edicts, which was unprecedented and unprecedented.

Not only that, this month can make the adults in the officialdom, those royal relatives, feel so distressed that they want to cut their waists.

If you have a good time with your wife, our hard-earned money for several years will be wasted.

It is said that because of Xu Lai's crazy concubine-taking in the past month, the entire Lin'an City's economy has been in recession. Officials, dignitaries and nobles all have to tighten their belts to live in fear of Xu Lai marrying more wives.

It was precisely because of this incident that Xu Lai's reputation became somewhat unpopular. After that, he continued to take concubines one after another, and now he has twenty-eight concubines alone.

This does not include those who have no status.

Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, Xu Lai was completely a womanizer.

After hearing this, Xu Tong didn't know what to say for a moment, but felt a little sympathy for Xu Fan.

No wonder this guy was on pins and needles every day, finally killing his competitors and turning himself into the only one in the Xu family.

As a result, my father suddenly transformed into a sowing machine, sowing seeds like crazy.

Although Xu Lai has the body of an earthly immortal, it is very difficult to have a child. Unless the woman also has amazing qualifications and cultivation, the probability is frighteningly low.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

If that lucky guy shows up, Xu Fan will be doomed as long as he is sure to be a man.

This also reveals from another side how deeply Xu Lai cares about his filial son.

"What a loving father and filial son!"

Xu Tong sighed, and with a thought, he turned around and walked towards the West Lake, wanting to join in the fun and see what the second best person in the world looked like.

What Xu Tong didn't know was that at the same time he was lamenting the kindness of Xu's father and his filial piety, Xu Fan was riding on a flower boat, but his mental state was not very good at the moment.

It's not even an overstatement to say it's terrible.

Ever since he came back from the front line, Xu Fan had clearly noticed that there was something strange in the eyes of the slaves around him when they looked at him.

Although it was very obscure, Xu Fan was such a person, with an electric mind, he immediately realized that his father's sowing machine had successfully planted rice.

In fact, he already had this premonition when he left Lin'an Prefecture and went to the front line to calm the morale of the soldiers in place of his father.

According to Xu Lai's intention, he would have to wait until winter before coming back. By then, when everything has settled, Xu Fan would be too late to take action even if he wanted to.

But Xu Fan never expected that Xu Fan would leave so quickly.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fan not only left and returned quickly, but also won the first victory in such a battle, and was granted the title of baron by the emperor.

Although the father and son have not completely broken up yet, that day is getting closer and closer.

This made Xu Fan unable to sleep at night again, plagued by nightmares and becoming more and more stressed.

So much so that now there is little trouble, and Xu Fan feels like he is facing a formidable enemy.

After drinking a glass of turbid wine, the more I drink, the more depressed I feel.

Just as Xu Fan was getting more and more uncomfortable, the guards outside walked into the cabin: "Your Majesty, the way forward is blocked."

"It doesn't make sense?"

"Yes..." The guard looked a little embarrassed, but under Xu Fan's gaze, he still said bravely: "Master, he has several close friends coming, so he wants to compete with them in martial arts at this New Year's Eve dance.

, non-martial arts practitioners are not allowed to enter, so the waterway in front is blocked!"

"Bang!

"

Hearing this, Xu Fan lost his face, threw the wine glass on the table to the ground, and cursed: "This old guy, isn't it enough to have married so many women? Any close friends are all bullshit, give it to me

Bump it away and rush in!"
