Special War God

Chapter 185 Liu Dabazi Arrives at the Golden Throne Hall

At that time, they had to launch a forbidden spell and counterattack with all their might to prevent the Second Prince from shooting again. If they were hit by a few more arrows, their lives would be in danger.

Fortunately, despite their serious injuries, the Second Prince did not dare to challenge their alliance head-on and fled in a hurry. They also took the opportunity to return to the mansion to heal their wounds.

This experience made them realize that there are hidden talents among brothers, and even the eldest prince cannot assert that he is ahead of his brothers.

Under such circumstances, no one was willing to step forward to serve as the governor of Xiuzhou and delay the progress of their own magical practice.

Seeing no one respond, Wu Longhai asked: "Is there no one willing to share my worries?"

There was a hint of anger in his tone, which contained a psychic pressure that made the court officials' ears buzz, but no one dared to respond.

The atmosphere in the hall became extremely tense and depressing, and some court officials even had tiny beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Lang Zhengfeng silently calculated the time and waited for almost a cup of tea before walking out under the gaze of all the court officials.

Wu Longhai looked at him, quite surprised, and before Lang Zhengfeng could speak, he said, "Ah, Lang Zhengfeng, are you willing to govern Xiuzhou?"

Lang Zhengfeng replied: "My Lord, the post of governor of Xiuzhou is of vital importance to our country. With my limited talents and strength, I am afraid that I am not qualified for the job."

Wu Longhai said: "If you have no confidence, then why do you stand up?"

Lang Zhengfeng said: "I recommend a person to the king, who should be able to take on the important task of protecting Xiuzhou."

Wu Longhai asked: "Oh, who is this person who deserves such high praise from you, Lang Zhengfeng?"

Lang Zhengfeng replied: "This person's name is 'Liu Xujie'."

The court officials were all curious about who Lang Zhengfeng would recommend, but they didn't expect him to name a name that no one knew. They looked at each other in confusion, not understanding Lang Zhengfeng's intention. Could it be that Lang Zhengfeng had a grudge against this person named "Liu Xujie" and wanted to take revenge on him?

Even Xu Shouting and Xu Dejing were unfamiliar with this name. They had long forgotten that this was Liu Dabazi's real name...

Wu Longhai had never heard of this name either. Looking at the reactions of the officials, he realized that none of them knew this person. His face darkened slightly, and he asked, "Who is this 'Liu Xujie'? What are his abilities? Why did you recommend him as the governor of Xiuzhou? Tell me!"

Lang Zhengfeng calmly replied, "Your Majesty, his original name is indeed 'Liu Xujie'. When he first entered the martial arts world, his former master jokingly gave him a nickname, and he used this 'nickname' to call himself. It was not until I got to know him well that I learned his real name."

This statement aroused the interest of Wu Longhai and the court officials. A person actually named after the nickname of his former master, which means that he either has deep feelings for the past or is extremely cunning. Either way, for these high-ranking officials, there is something worth exploring.

Lang Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Speaking of his nickname, I believe many of you are familiar with him. His nickname is 'Liu Dabazi'!"

The hall was instantly in uproar, and the oppressive atmosphere was swept away.

Someone said, "It turns out to be General Liu from the Thirteenth Army!"

Someone else echoed: "Isn't that the general who has a divine army?"

Some people even suddenly realized: "So 'Liu Da Bazi' is just a nickname for 'Liu Xujie'? I was wondering how someone could choose such a common name!"

Recently, Liu Dabazi and his Thirteen Armies have become a hot topic in restaurants and teahouses across Wudu, and the court officials have naturally heard of them.

Wu Longhai was immediately interested when he saw the reactions of the ministers. With his status, how could he know the name of a low-ranking general? Seeing this scene, he knew that this person must have extraordinary influence, and Lang Zhengfeng was not groundless.

Lang Zhengfeng was secretly delighted, as the reaction of the court officials was exactly what he expected.

Liu Dabazi's status was indeed humble in the past. If there was no momentum, how could Wu Longhai entrust him with such an important task? But now, just the name has shocked the government and left a deep impression on Wu Longhai.

Wu Longhai waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said gently: "General Lang, please explain in detail what is so outstanding about this person."

His tone was much softer than before, and he rarely respectfully addressed Lang Zhengfeng as "General Lang".

Lang Zhengfeng then recounted in the court the story of how he and Liu Dabazi had worked together in perfect harmony, and the glorious military exploits of Liu Dabazi and the Thirteenth Army he led.

What Lang Zhengfeng described were all personal experiences, and his narration was particularly vivid.

It's just that many of Xia Zhongnan's achievements were changed to Liu Dabazi's, and Liu Dabazi's image of perseverance and bravery in desperate situations was vividly presented to everyone...

When the five-nation coalition forces set foot on the snow-covered territory of the Bai Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom's expeditionary army, with its superior tactics, overwhelmed the Mang Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom, and the Man Kingdom, and even seized three more fertile territories than the Khanate. Lang Zhengfeng, the warrior who experienced blood and frost firsthand, recounted that difficult journey and revealed the thrilling story behind it. Lang Zhengfeng and Liu Dabazi's wisdom and execution were praised as the key to victory.

Qu Tongtian, the wise prime minister, spoke for the first time: "Your Majesty, I once had the honor of meeting Liu Dabazi, who is indeed a young talent. General Lang's recommendation is just right."

Then, Tu Shiyun, the Minister of War, Tang Huaigang, the Grand Marshal, Zou Wenwu, the Grand Commandant, and An Shubao, the Grand Master, all agreed. They had received generous gifts from Liu Dabazi, and although he had not explicitly requested it, people's hearts were like mirrors, and at this time, they would naturally be willing to help with just a slight push. They did not have a suitable candidate for this hot power, and they were unwilling to raise any objections at this moment.

The biggest obstacle for Liu Dabazi to become the governor of Xinzhou was his lack of sufficient qualifications and connections in the imperial court. Even if Xinzhou was considered an ominous place, it would be difficult for him to stand out. However, at this moment, the problems were solved one by one, and even the majestic Wu Longhai believed that this low-ranking general named Liu Dabazi should be promoted as an exception.

When the court was quiet, Wu Longhai announced: "Summon Liu Dabazi to the palace to see the emperor!"

The guards left in response, and Lang Zhengfeng hurriedly caught up with them, ordering them to look for someone in Lang's mansion. Liu Dabazi had never had the chance to step into the sacred Golden Palace before, let alone wait outside for an audience. Therefore, he could only wait in Lang's mansion.

At this time, Liu Dabazi was sitting in the guest room of Lang Mansion, feeling turbulent. He repeatedly asked himself, is it really possible for a small general who commands 10,000 people to take charge of a territory? Will those ministers object to his lack of qualifications?

As his thoughts were in turmoil, he recalled Xia Zhongnan's usual calmness and words. At every critical moment, Xia Zhongnan always remained calm and never showed any anxiety. He once said that as long as you do your best to do your job well, you will have no regrets. As for whether the result will be satisfactory, it is all God's will. Worrying now will be useless, so why worry?

He could only sigh, he could not be as open-minded as Xia Zhongnan. He knew that the court was deciding the new governor at the moment, and he could not calm down. Just when he was deeply entangled, the housekeeper of Lang Mansion knocked on the door and announced: "General Liu, the guards came to the mansion and invited the general to meet His Majesty in the Golden Palace!"

Hearing this, Liu Dabazi's mood suddenly became peaceful. He knew that the answer was revealed, everything was just as Xia Zhongnan expected, and he was likely to sit on the throne of the governor of that state.

At this moment, Wu Longhai summoned him to the magnificent Golden Throne Hall, intending to personally verify his power in the end. Once he passed this level, he, Liu Dabazi, would become a governor who controlled a territory and truly stepped into the power stage of the fantasy world.

Seeing his dream within reach, he felt at peace.

Sitting on the throne of Xiuzhou Governor is just the starting point of a new adventure. This position is full of challenges, and he must be prepared to face the choice between hardship and comfort.

Under the escort of the imperial guards, he stepped into the golden palace and faced many distinguished "adults" in the court. Perhaps he sensed the tense situation between Xiuzhou and Mile City in the future, but Liu Dabazi was not afraid at all. Qu Tongtian, Zou Wenwu, Tang Huaigang, An Shubao, Tu Shiyun... these people with shining names like stars, he had visited one by one under the guidance of Lang Zhengfeng. When they met again at this moment, they smiled and nodded, and he nodded back calmly, no longer regarding them as unreachable.

Only the brothers Xu Shouting and Xu Dejing looked at Liu Dabazi with serious expressions. Their servants had risen to the same level as themselves, which made them feel mixed emotions. Facing the two, Liu Dabazi bowed slightly, which was a high etiquette in the solemn hall.

Soon, they passed each other. No matter how the Xu brothers felt, from now on, Liu Dabazi had become independent and no longer constrained by them. His respect for others was only out of old friendship. If they tried to suppress him, he was fearless. Liu Dabazi's strength and wealth only increased.

Standing in front of the hall, he knelt down respectfully and saluted: "Your Highness Liu Dabazi pays homage to the king!"

Since entering the Golden Throne Hall, Wu Longhai has been secretly observing Liu Dabazi. Seeing that he remained calm and composed, he secretly admired him in his heart. His mentality was far better than Chen Shilin's.

Wu Longhai said: "Get up!"

Liu Dabazi responded: "Thank you, my king!"

After standing still, Wu Longhai asked, "General Liu, do you know why I summoned you to this Golden Throne Hall?"

Liu Dabazi replied, "It seems that my king intends to appoint me as the governor of Xiuzhou, so he is testing me to see if I am qualified for the post of governor."

Wu Longhai asked: "Oh? Did someone tell you in advance?"

Liu Dabazi replied: "No one told me, I guessed it myself."

Wu Longhai: "You speculated? Tell me, how did you infer it?"

Liu Dabazi said: "Recently, General Lang has often discussed with his subordinates the selection of the new governor. At the same time, General Lang is worried that Xiuzhou is adjacent to Maitreya City and there will be conflicts in the future. Maitreya City has a strong military force, and its power is no less than any of the five surrounding countries. Facing the power of Maitreya City, the position of Xiuzhou governor will be difficult.

At that time, I had advised General Lang that even if Mile City was strong, it would not dare to invade the five countries easily, otherwise it would lead to a joint boycott by the five countries. Therefore, Xiuzhou was not in a desperate situation. As long as there was a will, it could rise and grow stronger...
