Solving the Yunzhou case and uncovering the real accomplices of the bandits is a significant achievement.

The reward certainly cannot be too small.

Rewarding them with high-ranking positions and generous salaries?!

The people of southern Jiangsu are called "banished immortals," not those who crave fame and fortune.

His Majesty offered him a place in the Hanlin Academy, but he refused.

Moreover.

There are only so many positions available in the imperial court; who would want an outsider to occupy one for free?!

But simply rewarding people with gold and silver would not be enough.

Besides, people in southern Jiangsu don't need gold or silver.

If he really liked money, he would have been rich long ago with his fame.

After much deliberation, an official finally stepped forward.

"Your subject requests that Su Nan be granted a title!"

Upon hearing this, the officials present all had their eyes light up.

Yup!

Instead of a position, a noble title would also be acceptable!

This demonstrated the magnanimity of the imperial court without harming the interests of any political party.

Immediately, all the civil and military officials echoed his sentiments.

Emperor Yuanjing also thought this was a good move.

……

On the canal.

The imperial envoy's entourage returned to Kyoto along the canal once again.

The atmosphere on this return voyage was much better than when we went to Yunzhou.

The Yunzhou case was handled exceptionally well this time.

Not only was the Yunzhou case solved in just a few days, but there were also few casualties.

Those who accompanied the group all received considerable credit, so how could everyone not be happy?!

On the deck, the night watchmen were chatting, saying that they definitely wanted to visit the Imperial Music Bureau when they got back to Kyoto.

The Tiger Guards all cast envious glances their way.

They would have to return to their camp immediately after arriving in the capital, so they certainly wouldn't have had a chance to have fun.

Inside the cabin.

Su Nan sat cross-legged on the bed, communicating with the divine spirit within her body.

"It's a pity that the people of the Witch God Cult are physically weak. If it were a fourth-rank martial artist, this humble monk would benefit even more."

Su Nan killed the fourth-rank Dream Witch, and Shen Shu took the opportunity to devour the latter's essence and blood.

"Don't forget our promise to give back to our physical bodies," Su Nan said calmly.

He made a deal with Shen Shu, allowing Shen Shu to reside in his body and helping him find his past.

Shen Shu helped Su Nan improve his physical body.

“This humble monk certainly remembers.”

Su Nan nodded slightly, then walked out of the cabin and onto the deck.

Nangong Qianrou was also on the deck at that moment.

When she saw Su Nan coming over, her expression became slightly unnatural.

"You should be alright with the poison, right?"

Su Nan's voice came through.

Nangong Qianrou nodded and said, "It's alright."

"Xiao Rou, we'll have to part again once we get back to Kyoto."

Su Nan picked up the wine jug and said wistfully.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Qianrou felt inexplicably shy.

“I’m at the night watchman’s office, it’s not like you can’t come over.”

"Besides, you've returned to Kyoto, surrounded by a group of beautiful women. Do you still need me to accompany you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Nan slowly turned his head, looked her up and down, and smiled, "Xiao Rou, you've changed."

“If I had said something like that before, you would have told me to get lost.”

"The way you are now, so gentle, feels like a stranger to me."

Nangong Qianrou clenched her fists.

"roll."

Men are such shameless bastards.

Su Nan laughed loudly and went to see Governor Zhang (04278) at 8521. 9.

With the Yunzhou case resolved, the governor was in a good mood and no longer confined to his cabin, often coming to the deck to chat with the soldiers. 7.

He even deliberately broke the rules, allowing the soldiers to drink a little alcohol. 5.

This Yunzhou case was truly a near-death experience. 6.

"Su Zhexian, I have heard that the officials have petitioned to bestow a title upon you." (3)

"After returning to the capital, you will be one of the noble families."

Zhang Xun stroked his beard and smiled.

Su Nan shook the wine jug and said, "I don't care about titles or anything like that."

"Now that I'm back in Kyoto, I really need a good rest."

"After months of traveling, I'm really quite tired."

Governor Zhang was not surprised by Su Nan's answer; this was consistent with the banished immortal's usual style!

……Small

After the imperial envoy's entourage returned to the capital, Governor Zhang immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor.

As for Su Nan, he went to the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution).

He really couldn't hold back any longer.

Having conserved their energy along the way, they have now reached their peak!

He's going to take on seven!

The news of Su Nan's return to the Jiaofangsi spread like wildfire, and soon several courtesans came to visit.

The courtesans in the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) each had their own unique characteristics.

Fu Xiang, the courtesan, is skilled at playing the zither, but she is even more adept at playing the xiao (vertical flute).

Mingyan, the courtesan, possessed unparalleled dancing skills and a supple figure, always able to perform poses that ordinary people could not imagine.

Xiaoya, the courtesan, was well-read but also kind-hearted.

Nothing was said that night, except for the constant laughter and cheers from the music and dance troupe.

Su Nan stayed at the Jiaofangsi for three days without leaving the premises.

……

Emperor Yuanjing originally intended to confer titles on Su Nan in public at court, but Su Nan ended up going to the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution).

This action did not anger Emperor Yuanjing; on the contrary, it made him even happier.

He could accept Su Zhexian's personality.

Therefore, the matter of bestowing a title was handled directly through the proper procedures.

Haoqi Tower.

Nangong Qianrou returned to the capital and naturally went to see Wei Yuan. She needed to report everything that had happened along the way to her adoptive father.

Wei Yuan listened calmly to Nangong Qianrou's report, then gave his subordinate a strange look.

"After your trip to Yunzhou, it seems your attitude towards southern Jiangsu has changed?"

A strange smile appeared on Wei Yuan's face.

He was naturally very familiar with Nangong Qianrou's temperament.

The latter's changes also did not escape his notice.

Nangong Qianrou did not refute, but asked, "Godfather doesn't seem surprised that he killed a fourth-rank Dream Witch."

"Did you already know about his strength?"

Wei Yuan nodded slightly.

"I already knew about Zhou Li's strength when he died in the Ministry of Justice compound."

Nangong Qianrou frowned slightly and said, "If that's the case, why does Godfather still want me to protect him?"

Wei Yuan laughed and said, "If we don't do it this way, how can we fish out a fourth-rank Dream Witch?"

"Besides, this might very well be a good match."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Qianrou's face immediately turned red.

My godfather couldn't seem to get serious anymore.

Seeing Nangong Qianrou's appearance, Wei Yuan smiled and took a sip of tea.
