It's approaching dawn.

The barbarian camp was reduced to ruins under the fire and disaster.

Tens of thousands of barbarians and servants among them also fled to death, which made Zhao Shou feel a little regretful for his decision not to send troops.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the results of the victory will be greatly expanded.

"Your Majesty, there is someone shouting outside the city gate."

At this time, a military officer trotted over from the side and half-knelt down behind Zhao Shou respectfully.

"Call the door? Who?"

Zhao Shou turned around and smiled contemptuously: "Are they the barbarians? Or are they the traitors who are willing to be the lackeys of the barbarians?"

The military general pondered for a moment and said: "There are six people in total. The leader is the daughter of Lord Huang Zeshuhuang, and there is also a young man who claims to be the Lord of the Dead Souls who strangled the barbarians outside the city."

Hearing Huang Lanxi's name, Si Lao took half a step forward excitedly.

Although his old friend is now in jail, his daughter, who was thought to be dead, is not only alive, but also back safely. How can he not be happy?

However, compared to him, Zhao Shou and Li Jiye paid more attention to the young man introduced later.

"Quick! Open the door and welcome them in!"

Zhao Shou said excitedly, then stamped his feet and came to the general: "No, you take me over, I will greet him personally!"

He did not suspect that the general was fake just because he was talking about a young man.

After all, even though the barbarian camp outside the city has returned to calm, you can still vaguely see many ferocious and terrifying figures who are constantly hunting down the living corpses of the barbarians.

In this situation, who has the courage to pretend?

Seeing the emperor happily going to greet him.

Li Jiye's eyes flickered, and there was a trace of abnormality and greed in his originally smiling eyes.

Knowing that the person coming was Huang Lanxi, Si Lao naturally did not stay where he was. He moved his old body and reluctantly followed.

The heavy city gate opened.

Appearing in front of the three people who are now at the peak of Zhao's power, the leader is a boy and a girl, followed by a pair of middle-aged men and women and a pair of infant babies.

"That is……"

Si Lao looked at the young man with backlight and his expression paused.

"Master!"

Wan Jinghao immediately recognized the white-haired old man who was following the man in the dragon robe, and greeted him cordially and politely, and then said hello to Zhao Shou who was very happy with his success next to him.

Zhao Shou was obviously stunned when he saw Wan Jinghao.

Some people couldn't believe that he looked like a fairy who could control groups, but at least he had practiced the art of killing the king since he was a child, so he didn't show any questioning expressions.

However, what surprised Zhao Shou even more.

Or the young man actually called one of his ministers Master. Could it be that he was once a student of Mr. Si?

And depending on the situation, his relationship with Huang Zeshu, who is waiting on the side, is not like an ordinary man and woman. Could it be that they are already secretly in love?

Thinking of this, Zhao Shou originally only dared to think about using it for his own use, but now he feels that he has a lot of chances of success.

Under the protection of several master eunuchs.

Zhao Shou greeted him cordially, and then Li Jiye was the one who questioned him.

The so-called doubts include those that are burning and threatening, and those that are as warm as the wind.

Li Jiye was the latter. Under his polite but complimentary and humble words, Wan Jinghao did not disappoint them and used his ability to prove his identity.

Take advantage of the fact that there is still some time before dawn.

Wan Jinghao controlled a group of living corpses outside the city to stand up and walked over one after another.

After all, the city gate has been attacked by several waves of barbarians in the past few days, and there are already a large number of corpses below, so there is no need to look elsewhere.

Royal palace, main hall.

It was already early morning, and in addition to hundreds of officials, there were also Jiang Ren and Huang Lanxi.

"I ask you, are you willing to serve as an official in the court?"

Zhao Shou tried to make Wan Jinghao work for him.

After being rejected, he wanted to teach him some "methods of immortals and gods", but as expected he was rejected again.

"Since you are unwilling to accept the official position of our Great Zhao, I will not force you, but the things you have done for our Great Zhao are indeed there."

Although Zhao Shou was a little angry, after experiencing a disastrous defeat for more than half a year, he knew that he had no choice but to offend such a person, so he said: "If I don't reward you at all, outsiders may say that I neglect people who have made contributions, so you still

Tell me a need."

He knew that Wan Jinghao would definitely speak.

In this way, even if you can't let him owe you a favor, it would be better to get closer to him.

As for using this as a condition for becoming an official, it is an extremely deadly act. If he is angered, even if he does not take action, he will not be able to step down.

Huang Lanxi clenched her little hands into fists under her sleeves and looked at Wan Jinghao nervously.

Wan Jinghao was neither arrogant nor humble, and said directly: "Master Huang Zeshu Huang is the head of the college where I once studied. He is loyal to the great Zhao, loves the people like a son, and is friendly to others. He will never do anything to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. Please, Your Highness

A thorough investigation can be carried out.”

The reason why Huang Zeshu was imprisoned.

In addition to losing power in front of the emperor, the bigger reason was that he was reported and several letters of illicit communication with the barbarians were found in his house.

"His Majesty!"

Li Jiye stood up from among the officials and said: "I also think that Mr. Huang Zeshu has different charges or that he was harmed by an adulterer. The investigation should be reopened to restore Mr. Huang's innocence."

The other ministers in the court looked at each other, and soon half of them came forward to support him.

Zhao Shou, who had this idea in mind, would not refuse it. He immediately followed these words and said that he would clear Huang Zeshu's name within three days.

Is this the place I've been most looking forward to?

Wan Jinghao had a forced smile on his face, but his heart felt cold.

Once upon a time, I wanted to obtain academic status just to make my family happy, so that I could find out that I was marrying the woman I liked.

Later, he gradually became able to stand in the highest palace and return what he had learned in his life to the emperor and Zhao, so that all ordinary people could live a happy and worry-free life.

But now in the court he was most looking forward to, all he saw was falseness and filth.

The unbearability hidden under the light may have been hidden from him half a year ago, but now it is extremely obvious to him.

After the show ended, all the officials retreated.

Although the court has already said that Wan Jinghao’s information should be blocked as much as possible.

But thanks to someone's revelation, it only took a few days for Wan Jinghao's affairs to be known to hundreds of thousands of people in the city.

Everyone is curious about these magical figures.

Some people praised him for using "immortal" methods to retaliate against the barbarians. Of course, there were also some voices who questioned him as a liar, and some old scholars who condemned him for desecrating and insulting the corpse.

There are many people who feel that their status is sufficient.

In the past few days, I have sent greetings to the Sifu where Wan Jinghao currently lives temporarily, but unfortunately I have not been able to meet with anyone as I wished.

Sifu, backyard.

Wan Jinghao was writing on a one-foot-long copybook, while Mr. Si was stroking his beard and watching.

Suddenly, the housekeeper came with a greeting card.

"Didn't I ask you to return all the invitations?"

Si Lao heard the footsteps and looked at the butler and the greeting card in his hand.

The housekeeper lowered his head in fear: "This is Mr. Li's greeting card."

"Is this the third time? I don't know what he thinks. There is an old saying that businessmen attach great importance to profits and will do anything for their own interests. It seems that his face will be lost first."

Mr. Si shook his head and said casually: "Same as the previous two times, take it to the kitchen to burn firewood. If it comes back next time, just take it to burn firewood."

The steward said yes, then took the invitation and left.

Not long after leaving, Wan Jinghao wrote the last few words. As the last stroke of outline was completed, he placed the brush on the pen holder aside.

"Iron paintings and silver hooks, flowing clouds and flowing water, have become popular, that is..."

Si Lao was about to say that his words were too murderous, but he immediately stopped his words.

After spending the past few days together, although he didn't know why his student had such magical tricks, he still learned a lot about the entire city and the murder of his family.

With such deep hatred and hatred, it would be the most terrifying thing if the words written did not contain any murderous intent.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing him in a daze, Wan Jinghao asked with concern.
