Chapter 733: Returning to Position
"Can't stay." Bai Lang muttered to himself. At this time, the people following him were his wife and two concubines. Bai Xu Shi had already grown up, and Bai Lang could be considered to have enjoyed himself. The rewards along the way simply didn't stop. The title of Minister of War arrived first, and the eunuch who sent the rewards also secretly revealed that Bai Lang would definitely go to the Three Borders to be a Viceroy, but looking at the Emperor's meaning, there was also an intention to let Bai Lang stay in the Capital.
The title of Grand Guardian of the Crown Prince was also heard from the mouth of the second eunuch who came. Bai Lang even heard the title of Pillar of the State, "Pillar of the State? Actually, it's not bad. The Eight Pillars of the State of Western Wei, what a name." As for actually ennobling him with a title like Count? His military merit was definitely enough. He had already beheaded thousands of Mongol cavalry when he solved the siege of Datong, and his border merit was the first among the generals of this dynasty, enough to make those military generals feel ashamed.
And this time, commanding four thousand troops to break Altan Khan's army of one hundred thousand in one battle—of course, this was bragging, because Bai Lang wrote clearly in the report to the imperial court that Altan Khan probably only had thirty thousand, and the ones directly defeated by him were at most less than ten thousand. Others were scattered after seeing Altan Khan flee. The problem was that he told the truth, but no one in the imperial court was willing to believe it. They all said that this Datong Prefect was really honest, really ignorant, and couldn't count.
Altan Khan's army was clearly one hundred thousand, or even three hundred thousand. And Bai Lang's side only needed to tell the truth—four thousand troops were enough. The two thousand auxiliary troops didn't play a role anyway. The Great Ming army of four thousand defeating Altan Khan's Mongol elite of thirty thousand, this kind of battle record could be bragged about since the Hongwu and Yongle years—although the beheading and capturing were not as many as the great victory in the Hongwu year. However, it was enough for Jiajing to brag in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
This was not inferior to the military merit of Wang Yangming being ennobled as Count of Xinjian and Wang Yue as Marquis of Weining, and even more so. Wang Yue's surprise attack on Weining Sea was led by two thousand troops, beheading hundreds and obtaining six thousand cattle and sheep. Of course, the damage caused to the Mongol Tatar tribe was definitely very huge, and even actually might have had tens of thousands of Mongol casualties, but it was still not as good as Bai Lang's head-on decisive battle with weak forces, breaking Altan Khan's most elite cavalry in one battle and beheading thousands.
"Dare not go south since then." The big shots in the imperial court said so. Such military merit was completely worthy of a Marquis, but it seemed that the Cabinet big shots and the Emperor didn't want to give it now—this Bai Lang was not even thirty years old and had climbed to this position, everyone felt a bit uncomfortable. In terms of seniority, his peers were still spinning around at the fifth-rank official level, and this guy came to be a standout.
Bai Lang didn't want to rush back to the Capital at all—now his situation was already very urgent. Since he waved his hand and struck out the true Qi dragon and tiger with "spirit," Bai Lang, who had taken half a step, had already begun to be out of place. Now, there were space ripples that others couldn't see surrounding him, as if they were going to exclude him. This world of Smiling Proud Wanderer really couldn't be stayed in. Bai Lang was used to this kind of thing. He was just a passerby in the world after all.
Anyway, just live vigorously like this until the end of his life. With Bai Lang's real cultivation at this time, he was probably qualified to say a word of long life and vision. He entered this realm with martial arts. Unfortunately, Bai Xu Shi didn't get pregnant. Even if Bai Lang would have a title later, it would probably end in one generation, or could Bai Xu Shi adopt one? This was something Bai Lang couldn't control. He could only say that this woman's fate might be better than the original history?
Persuading Jiajing was impossible. This kind of selfish guy was just as he said, "wisdom is enough to reject remonstrance." He didn't look down on those ministers in his heart at all, thinking that no one's intelligence was better than his own. So many smart people in the court were still played by him in his palm for decades. Bai Lang also had no interest in being a loyal minister. In this era, it was unlikely for him to become a powerful minister like Ao Shaobao, and he really couldn't say "the words of the humble minister are the evidence!"
So he could only let Jiajing have a powerless rage—I'll just have the White Tiger Star Lord return to his position, and show you what it's like to become an immortal and ancestor. Maybe Jiajing would speed up the speed of eating heavy metal golden pills and die quickly, so that the weak guy Longqing could be Emperor for a few more years. In this way, those Cabinet big shots who were ambitious for reform could also show their hands—from Bai Lang's perspective, it was estimated that Grand Secretary Xu had long been impatient, and he had long wanted to dry up this Yan Song.
Bai Lang stretched out his finger and pointed at the two concubines. Due to the limitations of this world, he couldn't create Innate Experts, but opening the Ren and Du meridians was no problem. He didn't do it before just because he was lazy and "forgot." Even for Bai Xu Shi, he could easily make her a second-rate expert in the martial arts world, but the experience couldn't be passed on, and Bai Xu Shi's martial arts wisdom was indeed relatively poor. Bai Lang had taught her a few moves before, but she couldn't practice them well.
She didn't have the courage to fight at all, and even self-protection was probably a bit difficult. Even if he taught her a set of superior martial arts, could she exert even one percent of it? Forget it, let's just practice health-preserving skills. On this day, seeing the Capital in sight, Bai Lang sighed, "Madam, I'm afraid our fate will be cut off today." This frightened Bai Xu Shi, who couldn't even speak and just cried, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's not like I'm preparing to divorce my wife, it's just that my fate in this world is exhausted."
"Ah? Is the master going to die?" The one who spoke was Lan Fenghuang, who always spoke so nicely. Even someone like Bai Lang couldn't help but curl his lips, "Really, it's a pity that she only has a mouth that can speak." Bai Lang had to add, "I'm not dying, I'm returning to my position. I'm saying goodbye." He was just pretending to be a god and acting like an immortal, "Master returning to which position? White Tiger Star Lord?" Bai Xu Shi was young after all and quite curious.
"It's a pity that you have to live as a widow." Bai Lang was quite apologetic. Fortunately, Bai Xu Shi should have a good life at least in this life. Bai Lang looked up at the sky. At this time, the eunuch who heard the news also ran over, "Young Guardian Bai, Pillar of the State, don't leave." This person even lost his shoes—this person was also an expert in the Inner Court, although he didn't enter the Innate realm. As a result, this guy didn't even control his footsteps in a panic.
The dry thunder had already sounded, the sky was clear and thousands of miles away, the thunder was rolling, and there were long purple lightnings crossing the sky. The fierce tiger roar appeared for no reason, and Bai Lang had already risen three feet off the ground. Bai Xu Shi didn't dare to stop Bai Lang from returning to his position, just knelt there crying but smiling—this was "immortal returning to position." That eunuch had also knelt down, and like the Saintess and Lan Fenghuang, a large circle of soldiers and idlers around also knelt down when they saw this miracle.
Many people kowtowed, and some even shouted for the immortal to bless them. And Bai Lang rose higher and higher, "After you enjoy your natural life, I will take you to be an immortal." Bai Lang finally told a lie to Bai Xu Shi, and then disappeared directly in a clear sky thunder... ===== CHAPTER 734 =====
