Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 115 Become famous all over the world
The memorial was carefully sent up.

The Empress took it and began to read it.

A moment later, joy appeared in his eyes, and his gaze became brighter.

The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

The Governor of Yunzhou has recovered the lost territory of Zezhou and killed the King of Lingshan. The army is now advancing and is expected to completely recover the six coastal prefectures within three months.

News items, one after another.

My heart, which had been filled with gloom, suddenly felt a sense of relief.

The courtiers below lowered their heads cautiously, bracing themselves for the storm.

Everyone believed that this memorial must be news of the loss of the six coastal prefectures.

"Lu Ming, the governor of Yunzhou, has made great contributions to the court by recovering Zezhou and beheading the King of Lingshan. Today, he is hereby appointed as the governor of the Southern Frontier, in charge of the military and political affairs of the six coastal prefectures. He is also granted the title of General Zhennan, with the authority to establish his own government office. He is also granted a general's mansion in the capital."

The reward is 100,000 taels of silver, 5,000 taels of gold, and 100 spirit stones.

He ordered them to recapture the six states at all costs!

As soon as he finished speaking, the assembled officials were shocked, clearly none of them had expected this.

The six provinces are about to be recovered.

The reversal happened way too fast.

The Governor of Yunzhou, a previously unknown figure, is about to become a rising star in Dayu.

The Governor-General of Southern Xinjiang was a fourth-rank official, while the General Who Guards the South was a fourth-rank official.

It's nothing really.

However, the power to establish one's own government office is too great.

Many officials are already prepared to step forward and dissuade them.

But at that moment, Li Yan stepped forward first and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The other ministers exchanged glances.

His previous thoughts vanished instantly, and he bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is wise!"

At this moment, anyone could see that Lu Ming and Li Yan had some kind of relationship.

After all, in such an occasion, with the Prime Minister personally stepping in to show his support, no one would believe there was no connection.

If we were to object at this time, wouldn't we be offending the Prime Minister?

If the Governor of Yunzhou were just a nobody with no one to back him up, they would naturally suppress him to make him realize the dangers of officialdom and force him to join their side.

As for merit, there are plenty of people who have made contributions.

I've never heard of anyone being able to rise to a high position.

But now, everyone has suppressed their thoughts.

Behind the curtain, the Empress seemed to have also considered the thoughts of the courtiers below.

A clear voice rang out, "Prime Minister, I've heard that the Governor of Yunzhou has some connection with you. Is that true?"

“Lu Ming is someone I met when I was in mourning in Hongdu Prefecture, and he is now my godson,” Li Yan said without hesitation, glancing back at the room.

At this point, the prime minister finally made his move.

Many ministers wiped their sweat, relieved that they hadn't stopped them.

Otherwise, we would have offended Prime Minister Li to the death.

Everyone knows that Li Yan has no children, and he adopted a godson when he got old. How could he not protect him with all his might?

At the same time, they were all secretly surprised, wondering just who this Governor of Yunzhou, Lu Ming, was.

It's amazing that Li Yan took a liking to it.

The empress on the dragon throne was also somewhat surprised, her red lips slightly parted.

Obviously, no one expected that Lu Ming was actually Li Yan's godson.

No wonder the other party seemed to age instantly when I ordered the abandonment of the six states.

Moreover, she has become increasingly haggard during this period.

The moment I understood, I was deeply moved.

To avoid putting her in a difficult position, her teacher had never mentioned this matter.

"The Prime Minister has taught his son well; hereby he is rewarded with ten jade tablets, golden and white ginseng flowers, and ten thousand-year-old ginseng roots!"

The Empress's elegant voice rang out once more.

A smile appeared on Li Yan's face. "This old minister thanks Your Majesty for the reward!"

Over the years, he has received countless royal rewards, but this time was the most joyous for him.

It evokes the feeling of a child growing up in the family.

The rewards he received from the imperial court because of Lu Ming were quite different from those he had received in the past.

"Let's leave the court!"

The Queen's voice rang out again.

Then, he took the memorial and headed towards the inner palace.

This is the best news she has heard in a long time.

Therefore, I can't wait to celebrate.

With the court in such a state, no one understands the bitterness in her heart.

Li Yan walked out of the hall with a smile, planning to have a couple of drinks when he got back.

Recently, my wife learned about the news from the six coastal prefectures.

He was equally anxious, spending his days in tears.

Now, everything is finally getting better.

This is truly something to celebrate.

"Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Li, slow down."

Li Yan turned around and saw an old friend.

However, over the years, the other party has been at the height of their power, while he himself has grown old and frail.

We haven't been in touch for a long time.

I didn't expect such a warm welcome today.

"What is it, Lord Zhang?"

"Hey, what could it be? I just miss my sister-in-law's cooking. Today is a really happy day. How about I come over for a meal at your place?"

The official opposite said with a smile.

Li Yan remembered that the last time he was so enthusiastic towards him was five years ago.

Just as she was about to refuse, she couldn't help but think of Lu Ming.

"Let's go, you can bring your own wine." After saying that, he walked out of the Chaotian Hall with his hands behind his back.

At that moment, a number of officials gathered around again.

At this moment, Li Yan let out a long breath.

Is this what it feels like to have someone to carry on the legacy?

The matter continued to escalate over the next few days.

If Lu Ming was unknown in the past, he is now famous throughout the world.

He held the land of six states.

They decisively defeated the army of King Lingshan.

Most importantly, he did not lose the territory of his ancestors.

Now, no one can ignore his presence.

After all, even some powerful rebel kings, like Prince Yong, only control seven or eight states.

In terms of territory, Lu Ming is not much worse than him.

Moreover, Lu Ming is the prime minister's godson.

Such merit and status seemed to be seen by all the rebel kings.

A rising star is emerging in the Great Yu Dynasty.

They could very well become an obstacle in your path.

Inside the Yongwang Mansion.

The other person, dressed in a light gold python robe, sat in the seat of honor.

Liu Huai took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile, "To be the governor of six prefectures, that's quite a lot of power. And to be able to establish your own government office, this empress certainly has some guts."

A sneer appeared on Prince Yong's face. "That foolish emperor hasn't completely lost his mind. The six prefectures were arguably territories abandoned by the court, but now they've been taken back by the Governor of Yunzhou in a desperate counterattack."

As you all know, the imperial court has practically abandoned these remote areas in recent years. They were able to recover the territory without contributing a single penny of money or grain; they should be secretly pleased. If they were to actually take away someone else's power, not only would the governor of Yunzhou not agree, but even his own men would not allow it.

At this point, would she dare to force such a powerful subordinate to rebel?

I have to say, Lu Ming is a real talent.

Li Yan is quite cunning; he adopted such a godson.

Did you receive any information in the past?

He Song's expression changed.

He couldn't help but recall when Li Yan said he would introduce him to a disciple. Could it be this Lu Ming?
He glanced again and saw Tuoba Hao sitting next to him.

In the end, he chose to keep quiet.

It's too embarrassing to say it out loud.

Forget it.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that Tuoba Hao is the heir apparent of the Prince of Yong. As long as he seizes the throne, Tuoba Hao will become the crown prince.

He might even become the emperor's tutor.

With the help of this supreme fortune, one may be able to ascend to the celestial realm.

Otherwise, you'll regret it to death.

As for Liu Xuan, her eyes flickered. Mentioning Lu Ming gave her a sense of familiarity, but she couldn't quite place where she had heard of him. So she simply stopped thinking about it.

Seeing everyone fall silent, Prince Yong knew he wouldn't get any more information out of them.

He continued, "This person may be good, but he's nothing special. Our priority now is to find that geomancer and the mysterious person who suppressed the disciples of the various immortal sects. That's the most important thing."

Ladies and gentlemen, rebel kings are now everywhere in the land, and the imperial court is gradually exerting its influence.

We can't afford to let our guard down even for a moment.

As his earnest voice faded.

Everyone nodded.

While everyone outside was searching for news about Lu Ming.

Meanwhile, the other person was comfortably taking a bath.

Li Xirou, who was standing to the side, gently massaged his back.

I felt the warmth on my shoulder.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed. With the world in chaos, it feels like we're fighting every day, or on our way to a war."

A flicker of heartache crossed Li Xirou's bright eyes.

"Now that our coastal states are about to be recovered, you don't need to work so hard all the time. Take a break for a while."

Lu Ming smiled wryly, "I do want to rest, but others may not be willing. When we occupied Yunzhou, the rebel forces nearby were just old monsters or small sects. But the rebels we will face later..."

Perhaps they have a powerful sect backing them up; we need to be even more cautious.

He let out a long breath.

Just yesterday, Bailifei reported.

The army from Mingzhou seems to be intentionally gathering in Chizhou, clearly with the intention of seizing territory.

The rebel king who occupied Mingzhou, known as the King of Ming, controlled three states. He was said to be a scion of a prominent family in Mingzhou and had been sent to a cultivation sect from a young age. He was quite powerful. He rose up in the chaos this time, and many of his fellow disciples and elders from his sect came out to help him.

The opposing sect is not weak; it has a Golden Core expert in charge and is called the Lingyan Sect.

Near Dayu, it's considered a decent immortal sect, far superior to Medicine King Island.

However, they were not very ambitious; they seemed to only want to carve out their own territory and had no intention of unifying the Great Yu.

Now they are eyeing Chizhou covetously.

How could Lu Ming not be worried?

This is why Zhang Mu acted quickly, leading his army to be the first to enter Chizhou, which made the Mingzhou army somewhat wary, and thus they did not send troops.

Otherwise, we might have to go to war with them again.

Lu Ming, however, is not confident of winning right now.

Of the six provinces, he now truly controls and makes good use of only Yun Province and Ze Province; the other provinces don't even have a full army.

If he goes to war with Minnesota, he might be able to drag the enemy down with him.

But the chances of winning are very slim.

Even if we win, it will be a miserable victory.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to reclaim the territory as soon as possible and develop it properly.

Once these six states are fully developed...

Then you won't have to be timid or hesitant.

"Whoosh!" After Lu Ming finished speaking, he stood up.

After wiping the water off himself, he looked at his wife, whose face was flushed, and said, "Get some rest!"

As they were talking, the lights in the room went out.

The next day, Lu Ming got up early, glanced at Li Xirou who was still fast asleep, smiled and walked out of the house.

Heading towards the secret room.

His "Black Tortoise Golden Bell Cover" technique has been refined to near perfection after a period of practice, and he is preparing to attempt a breakthrough today.

When I first stepped into the secret room.

First, I opened the system shop and redeemed a can of dragon turtle blood.

This is also the blood of a ferocious beast, and it's quite valuable; one can costs 500,000 points.

However, after comparing them several times, Lu Ming still found...

After using the dragon turtle's blood, his cultivation speed increased even more.

Therefore, I chose it without hesitation.

When blood is evenly spread on one's body.

He instantly felt a burning sensation throughout his body.

His whole body felt as if it were on fire.

It was pressed against the skin, with a layer of mysterious light floating on it, engraved with some incomprehensible runes, exuding an ancient aura.

Lu Ming tried his best to absorb the blood smeared on his body.

At the same time, I felt the power within my body increasing.

I don't know how much time passed.

"Roar!" A faint roar of an ancient ferocious beast echoed from within his body.

Feel the surge of vibrant energy.

A smile appeared on Lu Ming's face.

The physical body has risen to a new level.

Now, with just his physical body, he could easily crush a mid-stage Qi Refining expert.

In the current environment, he is definitely considered a master, as long as he doesn't encounter someone at the Core Formation Realm.

Other powerful figures from the immortal sects could be killed single-handedly.

Even if there are experts who have reached the Core Formation stage, with the support of the military formation, one can still win the battle.

As long as they are within the territory of Dayu, they have the confidence to fight against the powerful figures of the sects.

Now, the priority is to improve the capabilities of your subordinates as much as possible.

I'll be at ease once they can stand on their own.

Then, they walked out of the secret room.

The sun is directly overhead.

The sun shines down, making me feel warm and cozy.

Li Xirou was tending to her plum blossoms.

The maids were busy in the kitchen.

"Husband, have you finished your cultivation?" After noticing Lu Ming come out.

Li Xirou said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go for a walk ahead."

These days, news from the battlefield arrives almost daily.

Therefore, after Lu Ming had basically finished his cultivation, he would go to the front hall to take a look.

"Come back soon, dinner will be ready soon."

"Understood." Lu Ming nodded and walked out of the courtyard.

However, when they arrived at the training ground...

Guo Zhun stopped him.

"grown ups!"

Seeing his mournful face, Lu Ming knew that something must have happened.

However, expenses have indeed increased these days.

It's no wonder the other party acted this way.

"Just say what you have to say," Lu Ming said.

Guo Zhun didn't stand on ceremony and took out the account book, saying, "Sir, recently we have ordered another 400,000 sets of cotton armor, and the purchase of medicinal materials is also increasing, which is a huge sum of money. We also have to allocate funds to the government. The more we fight, the more people we have, and the more grain we are transporting out."

Now, the treasury has less than ten million taels of silver left, and only a little over one million shi of grain remains.

The following month, after paying for the medicinal herbs, there was no money left.

"This humble official is truly facing a difficult situation."

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow. If that were really the case, then it certainly wouldn't be enough.

"Why did it cost so much money?"

"When we needed it, you just signed it without caring whether it was actually there or not. Now, this is all we have," Guo Zhun said, feeling aggrieved.

Lu Ming waved his hand, "I'll figure out a way, but the supply must not stop."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the front hall.

At the same time, it was also a bit of a headache, after all, losing money was a big deal.

However, just as he entered the front hall, Zhang Meng rushed in.

"My lord, good news! The battle at the front has ended. All four states have been occupied, greatly shortening the expected time, and countless spoils have been captured."

Just then, Zhang Meng ran in.

He was also holding two ledgers in his hand.

When he noticed Lu Ming looking over, he quickly said...

"These are the accounts sent by General Zhang Mu and General Wu Han. The supplies are still on their way back."

"I won't read it, just read it to me!" Lu Ming said.

A hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

It is hoped that the supplies obtained this time will alleviate the pressure on the Governor's Office.

Zhang Meng immediately picked up the ledger and began to read it.
