Back to the Peak

"Chen Lingfeng has killed the fugitive Li Yuan, and he is here to report to the Holy One!"

Under Wang Hu's surprised and Xue Hongze's delighted eyes, Ling Feng knelt down on one knee and bowed his hands to Xue Hongze. 26nbsp;

Seeing that Ling Feng was safe and sound, Xue Hongze showed a hint of joy on his face. After all, Ling Feng's strength lies there, and he has already played for the imperial family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Such a young and promising general with unlimited potential is exactly what Xue Hongze urgently needs now.

"Ling Aiqing, please get up!" Xue Hongze stretched out his hand to signal Ling Feng to stand up, then turned his head to look at Wang Hu, and then asked Ling Feng with a smile, "I heard that there is also a strong man with a triple innate talent and a number I don’t know if this is really the case for an accomplice who is known as the First Level Congenital?”

Ling Feng stood up and replied, "Report to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing."

Hearing Ling Feng's answer, Xue Hongze's eyes lit up: "In the face of a strong man with a third level of innate ability, Ling Aiqing was able to successfully arrest the fugitive without any damage. I'm afraid this is not something a mere warrior with a first level of innate level can do, right? "

Xue Hongze smiled slightly, and looked at Ling Feng meaningfully.

"To tell you the truth, I am actually a martial artist with a triple innate talent." Ling Feng replied. Anyway, I have already exposed my own strength, so I might as well tell Xue Hongze honestly.

"Innate triple!"

Wang Hu on the side stared a little bigger than a bull's eye, turned his head and glanced at Ling Feng in shock, with a look of surprise on his face.

Hearing Ling Feng's answer, the smile on Xue Hongze's face became wider, and there was an admiration in his eyes.

Although an 18-year-old innate first-tier martial artist has amazing talent, there are still many young talents in the big families of Longyuan City. Ling Feng doesn't have much to show off if an outstanding young man can reach this level.

But very few people can become a martial artist with a triple innate talent when they are only eighteen years old!

For ordinary innate warriors, it takes at least ten years of effort to break through from the first level to the third level. Even for extremely talented warriors, it takes about two to three years. That is to say, if one wants to become a martial artist of the triple innate level at the age of eighteen, one must have a monstrous talent and practice hard all the time.

"Haha! I really didn't expect Ling Aiqing to be a master of the third level of innate talent. She really can't 'reveal' her secrets. She is so mature!" Xue Hongze didn't blame Ling Feng for concealing her strength, but laughed happily, "I In the thousands of years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, no one has ever reached the third level of congenital at the age of 18. Ling Aiqing, you are the first person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for thousands of years! Now, you have captured the escaped prisoner and made a great contribution , I will reward you well!"

A young and promising general is a talent that every dynasty dreams of. How could Xue Hongze let go of the opportunity to win over Ling Feng?

Unexpectedly, Ling Feng knelt down on one knee and refused, saying: "Your Majesty loves you so much, Ling Feng is afraid of being ashamed of it! Actually, besides returning to the Holy Majesty, I have one more thing to report to you this time."

Seeing Ling Feng's refusal to confer the reward, Xue Hongze was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Ling Aiqing, it's okay to say what's the matter!"

Ling Feng said with a straight face: "After I captured the fugitive and returned to the Ling family, I happened to meet Liu Cheng and Liu Qing from the Liu family with a group of guards who wanted to harm everyone in my Ling family. Next, in front of the eldest prince, he beat Liu Cheng and Liu Qing severely, and killed all their subordinates! This minister knew that he had offended the eldest prince and the majesty of the royal family, so he came here to apologize! "

Ling Feng had already rehearsed these words dozens of times in his heart, and when he said them now, his tone was naturally full of remorse and respect for the royal family, and at the same time showed his loyalty to Xue Hongze.

"I just announced yesterday that people from the Liu family will not come to your Ling family to cause trouble. Liu Cheng and Liu Qing have ignored my will. They should be beaten! Ling Aiqing, you are defending my dignity. What's the crime!" Xue Hongze laughed loudly, thinking, "My eldest son is too domineering and arbitrary, so letting Ling Feng punish him this time may be a good thing for him. I hope his domineering 'character' can be restrained."

"Your Majesty is magnanimous, and I am so grateful!" What Ling Feng wanted was Xue Hongze's answer. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, but his face was still full of cruel sincerity, expressing his loyalty again.

"This time you have made great achievements in hunting down fugitives, I still want to reward you!" Xue Hongze smiled at Ling Feng, then turned to Wang Hu who was beside him and asked, "Are there any vacancies in the court that are suitable for Ling Aiqing?"

"There is just a lack of a deputy capital commander in the palace, and Ling Feng's strength is sufficient." Wang Hu turned his eyes slightly, and said with some hesitation, "It's just that the deputy capital commander is a third-rank official. Directly promoted to a third-rank official, since the founding of the dynasty, there has never been an example of such a leapfrog promotion."

The ranks of official positions in the Eastern Jin Dynasty are very clear and detailed, and it is extremely difficult to promote almost every rank, and the thing of leapfrog promotion has never happened before.

Hearing Wang Hu's words, Xue Hongze laughed loudly and said: "It has never happened before, not to say that it cannot be done, but no one has the ability to do it all the time. Now, with Ling Aiqing's innate triple strength, even if the official worship The second rank is also more than enough. I think he is qualified for the position of the third rank deputy governor!"

After finishing speaking, Xue Hongze looked at Ling Feng in a blink of an eye: "Ling Aiqing, come forward and listen to the seal!"

"Yes!" Ling Feng took a big step forward and knelt down on one knee.

"You have made great achievements in hunting down the fugitives. I will promote you to be the deputy capital commander of the imperial city, the third-rank official, and the commander of the 1,000-strong first battalion of the Imperial Forest Army!" Xue Hongze announced loudly.

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" Ling Feng said solemnly with a straight face.

Walking out of the imperial study room, Wang Hu patted Ling Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Ling Feng, I really congratulate you! You have only been here in Longyuan City for a few days, and you have been promoted to three levels in a row, and you have directly become a third-rank official. The official title is only one level lower than mine, which is really enviable. You know, it took me twenty years to get this second-rank official title. Compared with yours, I am really envious. I have no place to be ashamed!"

"Brother Wang Hu has won the prize, I will have to rely on you to help me in the future!" Ling Feng laughed.

"Don't blame brother, I didn't support you to be the deputy governor just now. Although this position is fat, it is also very tricky. Otherwise, it would not have been vacant forever." Wang Hu said to Ling Feng in a deep voice , "The first prince and the second prince have always wanted their own people to sit in this position, but now you have snatched them away, and there are still many of them in the Royal Forest Army. You should be more careful in the future!"

Wang Hu kindly reminded.

"Both the first prince and the second prince have ideas about this position?" Ling Feng's eyes lit up, and he said with deep meaning, "This is interesting!"
