Your Majesty, don't look back. I am Your Majesty.

"Lord Yu, so you and my beloved concubine Wan went to the Dragon and Phoenix Lake and also encountered the fog monster?"

Emperor Xia suddenly put his hand on his chin and asked with great interest, "How did my Imperial Concubine behave at that time? Was she frightened by the fog monster? For example, did she do anything strange?"

After hearing this, Yu Huaian's heart sank.

He was keenly aware that the green-haired turtle was trying to trick him!

The Green-haired Turtle's words could make him so sneaky, it seems that Sister Zhen'er's identity is indeed more than just the daughter of Duke Liang!

"Reporting to your Majesty, I was holding the Black Jade Soul-Grabbing Bow and shot down a fog monster with one arrow. I quickly escorted the Imperial Concubine and the Princess out of the Dragon and Phoenix Lake."

Yu Huaian decided to tell a little lie.

"Ahahahaha, in that case, Lord Yu, you risked your life to protect my beloved concubine. I owe you a huge reward again!"

Emperor Xia laughed heartily, with a look of admiration on his face, and waved his hand, saying:

"Chen Defu, I want to reward you, Lord Yu, with one thousand "Shengwu Tickets"! Go get them immediately!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The eunuch Chen Defu, who had just brought the venison, wiped his sweat and flew away immediately.

Yu Huaian was a little surprised.

It turned out that in addition to monthly salaries, the imperial court would also issue "military certificates" to every high-ranking military officer.

These "Martial Certificates" are divided into three levels: Holy Martial Certificates, Golden Martial Certificates, and Silver Martial Certificates.

Among them, a certain amount of gold and silver military coupons will be distributed every month to military officers above the fourth rank, which can be used to exchange for training resources with the Imperial Academy and the Martial Academy in the imperial capital.

The Shengwu Certificate was not distributed along with the monthly salary. It was only awarded to meritorious officials in the name of the emperor under specific circumstances.

Because this thing can be directly used to exchange for the royal family's supreme martial arts treasure house - the "Holy Martial Arts Tower", which contains the rarest magical skills secrets, magic weapons, and ancient secret medicines that the Su royal family has collected and treasured for more than a thousand years!

"Eunuch Liu once told me that in the entire palace, only Lord Jiang has obtained the Holy Martial Certificate, and it was granted to him by the late Emperor Su Yan."

"As for the factory guards who have obtained the Shengwu Certificate during the Yuantai Dynasty, Liu Jin is the only one so far!"

"Let's not talk about anything else, Green Turtle is generous!"

For a moment, Yu Huaian felt a little embarrassed.

You know, not long ago, this little yellow-haired boy messed up other people's beloved concubines and daughters!

"But I have to say this, if I accept these 1,000 Holy Martial Vouchers, I will be able to visit the royal forbidden area, Qianye Pagoda Forest, in the future!"

"Maybe I can even meet that ageless beauty, the Empress Dowager, who is as otherworldly as Little Dragon Girl!"

For some reason, I have never met this royal ancestor.

But Yu Huaian couldn't help feeling excited when he thought of the various legends about her.

He had a strange premonition.

This Empress Dowager might be a self-taught genius just like Concubine Wan and Concubine Qi!

"I thank your majesty for the reward!"

With this in mind, Yu Huaian did not try to refuse and simply bowed down.

After a while.

Under the jealous gazes of the Minister of Rites and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the young Deputy Governor of the Western Factory gladly accepted the one thousand Shengwu Certificates that looked like gold paper.

After some polite words, Emperor Xia finally got to the point:

"Hahahaha, alright alright, Lord Yu, let's talk business."

"Lord Yu, the Moon Festival Ceremony will be held in two weeks. For this grand event, I want you to serve as the master of ceremonies together with Lord Wen and Lord Fang to welcome guests from all sides."

Yu Huaian waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty, as a member of the Imperial Palace, how can I interfere in such a grand occasion? As far as I know, even Eunuch Liu from the East Factory has never served as the master of ceremonies at the Moon Festival in previous years!"

"Oh, if Liu Jin can't do it, then you, Yu Huaian, can't do it either?"

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "My dear Yu, you should have heard that for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I have not only invited all the officials of the court, but also my father-in-law, Duke Liang who lives far away in Jiangnan, will come to the palace for the banquet. Not only that, I have also invited two special guests."

"Special guests?"

"Yes." Emperor Xia said directly: "One of them is one of the seven martial nobles of the Shengwu Academy, and is also the master of Lady Qi, the owner of Feixian Island, Lady Jingshu. As for the other one, his status is equally noble..."

"He is the third son of the leader of the Tang Sect of Shu County, one of the eight great martial arts families in the current Daxia martial arts world, Mr. Tang San."

"The old nun from Feixian Island, as a madam with a long career, has acted as a pimp for the royal family, so she is qualified to attend the meeting."

"But what did Mr. Tang San rely on? Relying on the blue silver entanglement?"

Yu Huaian couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But then he remembered that when Emperor Xia was a prince, his fief was in Shu County. The Tang Clan must have made a lot of efforts for him to become emperor.

General Na Yu, as the illegitimate son of an elder of the Tang Clan, had no real ability, but the fact that he could become a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was enough to prove this point.

Yu Huaian opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but he heard Emperor Xia say, "My dear Yu, don't be impatient. Listen to me first."

Emperor Xia said slowly, "Don't look down on my father-in-law. Duke Liang is a wealthy businessman. He is also one of the best martial arts masters in Jiangnan. He likes to make friends with heroes and heroes. Therefore, I want you to go to greet him. You are a young talent, and you are deeply loved by the Royal Concubine. You will definitely leave a good impression on the Duke of Liang about the Yuantai Dynasty today."

"As for Ms. Jingshu and Mr. Tang San, they are civilian warriors and may have some alienation with the imperial court. Compared with Lord Wen and Lord Fang, it is more appropriate for you, Lord Yu, to go to welcome the guests."

"This"

Yu Huaian wanted to refuse, but he saw the resolute look in Emperor Xia's eyes.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I obey your order! I will do my best to make the guests happy at this Mid-Autumn Banquet!"

"Good good!"

Emperor Xia was delighted and could not help but sigh, "Alas! I can always trust you, my dear Lord Yu!"

"Your Majesty, your words are important. This is my duty!"

Yu Huaian quickly pretended to be flattered.

But I complained in my heart:

Damn, at such an important moment, why don’t you give us a system option as a token of your appreciation?

"By the way, Lord Yu, before the Moon Festival Ceremony officially begins, there is one more thing I need you to do."

"But for this matter, I will ask the East Factory and the Six Gates of the Ministry of Justice to send people to work with you."

Emperor Xia held his chin with his hand and said, "Of course, if the Divine Constable's Office can spare some time, and let them participate as witnesses, this matter will be more solemn. You and Lord Nie, both of you are young talents in our dynasty, can also get to know each other, hahahaha!"

"May I ask why this happened?"

Yu Huaian's curiosity was aroused: "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"Well, Lord Yu, you should also know that during this Moon Festival, I will definitely slay the dragon and become the emperor!"

"therefore"

Emperor Xia paused and said, "According to the historical conventions of Daxia, before I slay the dragon, I need a young genius from the court to stand by and act as my 'ghostwriter.'"

"I originally planned to let Lord Nie of the Divine Detective Department take the position, but he has now been promoted by me to the position of Deputy Supervisor of the First Rank. He is in a high position and has great power, so he is no longer suitable."

"It just so happens that the Shengwu Academy has already selected the twenty strongest geniuses of the year. They will come to the imperial palace to compete in martial arts in the near future to add to the fun of this Mid-Autumn Banquet. So -"

"I have come up with a plan. I will simply have these twenty geniuses hold a competition at the Martial Arts Academy three days in advance to determine the strongest one. He will serve as my ghostwriter and will be recorded in the history of Daxia along with me!"

"what"

Yu Huaian was a little confused after hearing this.

The first person he thought of was his silly sister who was stubborn and naive, but had an extraordinary talent for martial arts!

"Your Majesty, have you looked at the list of twenty people? Do you have any preliminary candidates in mind?"

Yu Huaian asked tentatively.

"Haha, Lord Yu, you got to the point."

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "According to custom, when I slay the dragon and offer sacrifices to the gods, a dozen court painters will stand by to record that moment of eternal glory! Therefore, I naturally want an outstanding painter as the ghostwriter."

"And he must be much better than the three previous emperors who successfully performed the Fengshan ceremony in the history of Daxia, no matter his appearance, temperament or martial arts!"

Hearing this, Yu Huaian couldn't help but sneer.

This green-haired turtle is just like a certain perfect emperor in his previous life, who is ambitious and always cares about ostentation in everything he does.

"Then, Your Majesty has already looked through the names and portraits of the twenty geniuses from the Shengwu Academy?"

Yu Huaian couldn't help but say again.

"good."

Emperor Xia clapped his hands and smiled, "I immediately fell in love with the only little girl among the twenty. She looks as lovable as Qingqing. She was born in poverty, but she was indomitable and persisted in her pursuit of martial arts. She was eventually valued by Master Jingshu of Feixian Island and was accepted as his last disciple."

"If possible, I really hope she can win. You know, there are not many female geniuses serving as officials in the current dynasty. Only Lord Lu of the Divine Constable Department can be regarded as a representative."

At this point, Emperor Xia suddenly looked at the young man in front of him: "Oh, right! This girl seems to have the same surname as Lord Yu."

Yu Huaian was shocked and quickly pretended to be surprised: "Ah, fate, it is fate, then I want to see the elegance of this girl even more."

"Okay, okay! It's a deal!"

Emperor Xia grinned and slammed the table to make a decision: "Let the senior executives of your East and West factories, as well as the officials of the Martial Arts School, serve as referees. Through this competition, find the best ghostwriter for me!"

"I accept your order!"

Yu Huaian readily accepted the order.

Ah, it’s been five years. As her brother, should I give Ling’er some special treatment, take her out to show off, and fly around as compensation?

After leaving the palace.

Yu Huaian went to the West Factory without stopping.

When he met Jiang Wunian this time, he felt even more depressed.

Yes, this 93-year-old old factory owner who was poisoned by a Gu was in even worse physical condition than at the last deputy governors' meeting.

But Yu Huaian was also helpless.

The poison in Jiang Wunian's body had spread to the qi sea in his lungs, and every breath he took was burning his life.

With his current acupuncture skills, he was completely powerless to save the patient.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the old factory manager and informing him of Xue Zhong's rebellion.
