Chapter 32 Tiger and Leopard Rider

Early the next morning, Shen Qingzhou first moved Qi and blood to Bailong. After doing it a few times, he could move it on his own. Although it is not as fast as helping to move it himself, the advantage is that it can become an instinct.

Bailong was fed a lot of raw meat. After Shen Qingzhou finished moving it yesterday, he found that it had lost a lot of weight. It didn't eat any grass, but was fed meat directly.

The increase in Qi and blood must have a source. Shen Qingzhou doesn't need these. Any skill points can do the job. Horses won't work. Just use raw beef.

Come to think of it, pork is also edible. Wang Qinian’s daughter likes pork belly the most.

Ever since he moved the Qi and blood, Bai Long had become more friendly to Shen Qingzhou. Shen Qingzhou was also looking forward to seeing how fast he could run. Since he did not have the skill of lightness skill for the time being, he still needed to use a horse.

"Master." After feeding the horses, he changed his clothes with the help of the maid. He was still wearing armor, which was a proof of his meritorious service. He had to go to court today and present treasures to the emperor, so he had to go through the same procedure.

……

It was daybreak, and this was probably the most crowded time on this street, as everyone had to go to court. However, unlike some dynasties where courts had to be held at five o'clock and people would arrive at three o'clock, Nan Qing's court sessions were still relatively relaxed.

The first time Shen Qingzhou went to court, someone guided him. He did not go with the other officials. He had to wait until he was summoned to the palace and all the civil and military officials were present. Only then would it be his time to boast about his achievements. He brought the selected treasures to the side hall and just waited.

"Where is my unrivaled general?" Emperor Qing said as he sat behind the curtain and watched all the officials salute.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Shenwu is waiting outside the palace for your summons." The eunuchs echoed.

"Announce it quickly." Emperor Qing said with a wave of his hand. The civil and military officials did not care. This was just a procedure. In order to show their importance to Shen Qingzhou, they made him the center.

"Xuan Shen Wu Hou."

There were several people standing behind Shen Qingzhou holding treasures, three boxes, and Shen Qingzhou also treated them with some care.

"I am Shen Qingzhou, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet your Majesty." Shen Qingzhou's appearance in court still made all the officials feel a little uncomfortable. The bloody smell on his body was too strong. His originally silver armor and silver robe turned bloody directly. One could imagine how much blood was on his body.

This appearance in the court made the civil officials dislike him, as he had too strong military characteristics. Chen Pingping, Qin Ye, Lin Xiang, and Fan Jian also looked at this man who had long been known to the bigwigs but whom they had never met.

Even though I knew his height in advance, I was still a little nervous when I saw him in person.

[Host contacts Fan Jian and gains skill points × 20000]

[Host contacts Chen Pingping and gains skill points × 20000]

[Host contacts Qin Ye and gains skill points × 5000]

[Host contacts Lin Ruofu and gains skill points x 10000]

Shen Qingzhou was delighted at the huge harvest. In fact, there were also Mei Zhili, Guo Youzhi and others, but they had already obtained skill points yesterday.

Now his eyes were fixed on Eunuch Hou and Emperor Qing behind the curtain. Perhaps because of his preconceived notions and having seen various short science clips, he knew that Emperor Qing was not a good person and was particularly fond of conspiracies and intrigues.

But for something like court, which should be grand and glorious, you stay behind the curtain all the time, which is a bit too gloomy.

"You are truly an unrivaled general. My dear Lord Shen, you have worked hard in the battles on the grassland." Emperor Qing was also a capable emperor. He left the curtain and came to Shen Qingzhou to support him.

[Host contacts Emperor Qing and gains skill points x 30000]

[Host contacts Eunuch Hou and gains skill points x 1000]

[The host comes into contact with the Grand Master and obtains skill points × 20000] As expected of a Grand Master, even if it is just one person, he should be rewarded separately. I like it.

"I am terrified. It is all thanks to your Majesty's blessing that we have been able to win every battle and directly attack the left tent. All the tribes on the grassland have fled in fear, letting all the tribes on the grassland know the might of our Daqing army.

I have been blessed by your majesty and have gained a lot. I am offering three treasures to your majesty." Shen Qingzhou had memorized this specially, and the Ministry of Rites had specially instructed him.

"What is it?" Emperor Qing asked.

"The first treasure is a golden crown with an eagle head, which is the symbol of Zuo Xian King." The first box was then opened, and a golden crown made of gold and gems appeared, with a strong symbolic meaning.

When you present treasures to the emperor, they have to have symbolic meaning. If you just present gold and silver, that would be too vulgar and meaningless.

This gift symbolizes Zuo Xian King’s head and power and has profound significance.

"Good." Emperor Qing was also very happy. This war did not consume much of Nanqing's strength, but the record was unprecedented. He liked it.

"The second treasure was presented by the tribes of the left tent of the grassland. It is a map of grassland tribes. With this map, our army can march straight into the grassland." A map appeared from the second box.

"Okay, okay, I'm already looking forward to the third treasure." The symbolic meaning of this is also extremely powerful, symbolizing the submission of the grassland tribes. As for whether they are convinced or not, Shen Qingzhou killed his way there. Anyway, he thinks they are convinced. This is the route map he summarized after gathering captives from various tribes after his victory.

"This third treasure is a map of the world."

"Oh, what's the difference?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look." It was a map made of leather, but some areas on it were empty.

"What does this mean? If this is not a map of the world, why are there only our Qing Kingdom and the various departments of the Left Account?" Emperor Qing was very cooperative.

"Your Majesty, the world is not yet settled. I have only brought you the various departments of the left tent. From now on, I will be your vanguard and complete the map of the world for you." This completion does not mean filling in the map, but the locations that are not on the map, such as Nanzhao, Beiqi, and Dongyi City must be taken. After they are taken, they will appear on the map.

"Haha, what great ambition." Emperor Qing did not respond to this. How could it be so easy in a place with a grandmaster?

"Your Majesty, Marquis Shenwu has lofty ambitions, but although our Qing Kingdom is the most powerful among all countries, we should not make enemies everywhere. We must proceed slowly." An official advised, but Emperor Qing waved his hand and stood back.

"These three treasures of yours are very much to my liking. My dear Shen, you led your troops deep into the grassland this time, and the soldiers fought bravely. I will grant your troops a designation, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry." Emperor Qing went back behind the curtain.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely use the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to help Your Majesty conquer the world." Shen Qingzhou always felt that this number was very familiar, but the name was quite fierce.

"Marquis Shenwu is young and frivolous. He has been in the army for a long time. He may not know that there are great masters in the cities of Northern Qi and Dongyi. We should not start a war lightly." Another civil servant stood up. Shen Qingzhou took a look and wondered whether it was Prime Minister Lin or Fan Jian who was doing the work.

Originally it was to praise your achievements, why bring it up to pour cold water on you? However, on the surface it is still for your good, the word "official" opens its mouth, so it starts with competition.

"This is wrong. My Qing Kingdom also has a great master. Marquis Shenwu is young and promising. He only cares about my Qing Kingdom. How can he be afraid before the battle?" This is someone who supports me, but I don't know which camp they are in.

Then, one person after another came out to support their own camp.

"Okay, Marquis Shenwu, I know that you have relegated to the eighth rank to fight the Saint Girl, but I wonder what your fighting power is?" Emperor Qing waved his hand to dismiss the officials and asked curiously.

Too many people are curious about this question. This is a world of martial arts.
