Martial Arts Have Mastery

"All skills have proficiency ()"

Shen Ling took Huniu and left Chennan Commercial Firm.

He was walking on the street, looking to both sides, looking for suitable inns and restaurants.

Shen Ling's criteria for choosing an inn are not high, one is that the accommodation fee should not be too expensive, and the other is that the room must be clean and tidy.

Three, no three...

However, Shen Ling found several inns, and the accommodation fee was as high as one or two per night.

After walking for several streets, Shen Ling finally found an inn in a seemingly remote corner that only cost five hundred copper coins a night.

"Guest officer, please come to the backyard."

Looking at Shen Ling and Hu Niu, the waiter in the inn had a smile on his face.

The decoration of their inn is inferior in the entire capital. Apart from being relatively clean, it cannot compete with others at all.

So seeing Shen Ling, the waiter at the inn was very enthusiastic.

"thanks."

When the waiter in the inn led him into a room in the backyard, Shen Ling nodded to the waiter.

"You are welcome, sir."

The waiter at the inn bowed slightly to Shen Ling, and said softly, "If you have anything to do, call me, guest officer. I'm right in front, and I'll be here soon."

"Um."

Shen Ling nodded.

After the waiter in the inn left, Shen Ling looked at the relatively simple room and felt quite satisfied.

Relatively speaking, in the capital where every inch of land is expensive, an inn that only costs 500 Wen this night is already the cheapest one.

Shen Ling once asked that the most expensive inn was located in the center of the capital, and it cost ten taels of silver a night...

It's not too much like stealing money.

After finding the residence, Shen Ling turned around and went to the palace again.

Before he got close to the palace, a group of people stopped in front of Shen Ling.

"Idlers, please don't get close."

Seeing the man in the same costume as Yufengjun speak in a cold voice, looking on guard.

Shen Ling asked softly, "Excuse me, is Jin Jiang there?"

The cavalryman of the Yufeng Army looked at Shen Ling and asked doubtfully, "You mean Jinbaihu?"

Shen Ling nodded, and handed over his general token.

After verifying Shen Ling's token, the cavalryman of the Yufeng Army said softly: "Wait a minute! I'll pass it on right now."

After a while.

Jin Jiang came from the side road.

When he saw Shen Ling, a smile appeared on his face: "We meet again, General Shen."

Shen Ling nodded: "Well, how is Brother Jin?"

"Not bad." Jin Jiang smiled, then walked to Shen Ling's side, "Come on, let's find a place to have a drink first."

Shen Ling was puzzled and said: "Don't you need to see the emperor?"

Jin Jiang smiled: "General Shen doesn't know something, the time for our emperor to go to court is not fixed, and the next time to go to court has not been announced yet, after drinking today, I will report the arrival of General Shen to the emperor .”

"Okay." Shen Ling nodded.

Next, Jin Jiang was the host, and he was invited to have a good drink in a big restaurant.

As one of the hundred households of the Yufeng Army, Jin Jiang just didn't need to be on duty today.

After drinking from afternoon to night, the two of them finished drinking.

At this time, Jin Jiang was as drunk as mud.

Shen Ling helped him onto the bed, and then left the restaurant directly.

Looking at Shen Ling's back, Jin Jiang said with hazy eyes, "This guy's martial arts are definitely higher than mine..."

After finishing speaking, Jin Jiang fell asleep on the bed in the restaurant.

Shen Ling returned to his five hundred wen residence that night, and lay down on the uncomfortable bed.

Also slept soundly.

...

two days later.

With the notification of the emperor of the Dagan Dynasty, he went to the court.

Jin Jiang immediately told Shen Ling the news, and told Shen Ling to come to the entrance of the palace gate early tomorrow.

the next day.

Shen Ling came to the front of the palace gate early, and put on the official uniform representing the seventh-rank bandit suppression general.

To be honest, Shen Ling felt that this official uniform was not good-looking.

It's a pity that he doesn't care if he wears it or not.

The gate of the palace opened slowly.

The ministers started to walk towards the palace one by one. When Shen Ling followed them, he didn't make a sound or chat.

Some ministers looked at Shen Ling's strange face, although they felt puzzled, they didn't ask any further questions.

Palace of Political Affairs.

This is a luxurious palace in the Daqian Palace.

Normally, the court is here.

Civil and military officials stood in two rows, Shen Ling took a look and stood at the end of the military officials.

Before the arrival of the emperor, some ministers were still chatting.

Finally, the emperor came.

For a while, the political hall was silent, and everyone shut their mouths tightly.

Shen Ling, who was at the end of the queue, looked at the middle-aged man who was walking slowly, with deep doubts in his eyes.

For the emperor of the Dagan Dynasty, there are countless versions of rumors among the people.

Some said it was absurd, and some said it was violent, but no matter how Shen Ling observed it, he felt that the emperor was not as absolutely as the rumors said.

Relatively speaking, this emperor is still very majestic.

The whole body is also full of momentum.

It looks healthy too.

"Shen Ling."

As soon as he sat on the dragon chair, Emperor Dagan called Shen Ling's name in his first words.

"The minister is here."

Shen Ling was stunned for less than a second, then walked to the middle of the two rows of civil and military officials.

The emperor of the Daqian Dynasty looked at Shen Ling, and said slowly: "Thirty thousand people repelled three hundred thousand gold soldiers, tell me, what reward do you want?"

what do i want

Shen Ling thought for a few seconds, and found that he himself didn't know what to ask for.

After thinking for a while, Shen Ling bowed his head and said, "The minister will take whatever the emperor rewards. I don't want to take more than one point, and it doesn't matter if I lose one point. Everything is up to the emperor."

The civil and military officials next to him had strange eyes.

Some civil servants who originally planned to make a fuss about Shen Ling's answer didn't know what to say at this time.

As for the military officers, they felt that Shen Ling was a little slippery.

The emperor of the Daqian Dynasty looked at Shen Ling, and his eyes slowly shifted: "What do you think is the best way to reward?"

A civil official said: "General Shen has made great contributions to resisting the enemy, and I think we should reward five hectares of fertile land."

Five hectares of fertile land equals five hundred mu of land.

Relatively speaking, this is indeed a reward, but compared with Shen Lingli's contribution, it cannot be equated at all.

The civil servants seem to be well-intentioned, but they are actually lowering Shen Ling's credit.

A military officer next to him said: "Your Majesty, General Shen is a military general. This time he defeated the Jin soldiers. I think he should be promoted to an official position instead of rewarding some land to make up for it."

As for what reward Shen Ling should get, the civil and military officials directly started arguing here.

"quiet."

As soon as the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty showed displeasure, the eunuch next to him immediately screamed.

"How about this."

Looking at Shen Ling, the emperor of the Dagan Dynasty said slowly, "Since you can't agree on a result, then give it all."

After finishing speaking, the emperor of the Dagan Dynasty lowered his tone: "Pass down my order, seal Shen Ling as Marquis of Qihua, reward thousands of acres of fertile land, and at the same time promote Shen Ling to the official position of Zhenbei General, responsible for guarding the northern frontier."

This time.

All civil and military officials were stunned.

Fortunately, Marquis Qihua said that titles and official positions are not equal.

It is easy to say that there are thousands of acres of fertile land, but it is nothing more than more land.

However, General Feng Zhenbei...

It's a bit of an exaggeration.
