Chapter 233: Xiangyang Arrangements

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he looked at Li Mochou with a grave expression.

Li Mochou was also extremely excited upon hearing this.

She hadn't expected that Liu Bian would actually entrust such an important task to her.

This also showed that Liu Bian truly regarded her as one of his own.

During this period, she had already learned of the Great Han Empire's formidable strength.

Being able to join such a powerful force was also her opportunity.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this subject will definitely guard Xiangyang well for Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently, Liu Bian also said to Li Mochou solemnly:

"Li Mochou, listen to the conferment!"

For so long, Liu Bian had not yet conferred an official position upon Li Mochou.

Now, it was time to give her a position.

After the Great Han Empire began its conquest of this world, she could also use the national fortune to cultivate.

"Confer Li Mochou as a Fourth Rank Tribute of the Great Han Dynasty's Hall of Worship, official rank Fourth Rank, salary six hundred shi, rewarded with a Mystic Grade Lower Quality weapon, Ice Soul Sword, one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and granted a Great Han Dynasty identity jade token."

After Liu Bian finished speaking, with a wave of his right hand, a blue precious sword exuding an icy chill, along with one hundred low-grade spirit stones and a white identity jade token, appeared before Li Mochou.

Looking at the items that suddenly appeared before her, Li Mochou trembled with excitement.

"This subject thanks Your Majesty!"

After bowing and thanking Liu Bian, Li Mochou reached out with trembling hands and took the items Liu Bian had rewarded.

On the spot, she made the identity jade token recognize its master, and the identity jade token changed from its original white to blue, symbolizing the Fourth Rank official position of the Great Han.

Subsequently, she also made the Mystic Grade Lower Quality weapon, the Ice Soul Sword, recognize its master.

Seeing this scene, Hong Lingbo's eyes revealed a trace of envy.

With her Houtian Fifth Layer strength, she did not yet meet the qualifications to enter the Hall of Worship.

However, a moment later, her eyes were filled with determination.

In the future, she would also cultivate well and strive to join the Hall of Worship.

After rewarding Li Mochou, Liu Bian took out a Yellow Grade Supreme Quality weapon, the Autumn Water Sword, for Hong Lingbo.

With Liu Bian's current national fortune value, he could afford to exchange for even higher-grade weapons.

However, higher-grade weapons also required corresponding cultivation.

The two weapons only cost 1,500 national fortune points.

"Lingbo, this Yellow Grade Supreme Quality Autumn Water Sword is rewarded to you."

"In the future, you should help your master well."

"Also, these fifty low-grade spirit stones and the identity jade token are rewarded to you as well."

"With your aptitude, if you cultivate well, you can reach the Houtian Ninth Layer realm within three months."

Hong Lingbo possessed a spirit body, and with the help of spirit stones, reaching the Houtian Ninth Layer within three months was not difficult.

"Lingbo thanks Your Majesty for the reward, this subject will definitely pledge loyalty to Your Majesty until death."

Seeing that she also had a reward, Hong Lingbo bowed and thanked him excitedly.

Subsequently, Hong Lingbo also made the identity jade token recognize its master.

However, hers was just an ordinary identity jade token.

After all, she had not yet held an official position in the court.

After solving the matters of Li Mochou and her disciple, Liu Bian said to Xiao Longnv on the side:

"You have one too."

After speaking, Liu Bian took out the items for Xiao Longnv.

A long sword, an identity jade token, and five hundred low-grade spirit stones appeared before Xiao Longnv.

Xiao Longnv looked at Liu Bian and, without being polite, put them away directly.

"We don't need to introduce the identity jade token and spirit stones to you."

"As for this sword, it was specially customized by Us for you; the sword is named Ice Glass Sword."

"This sword is growth-oriented; its current grade is Mystic Grade Lower Quality. In the future, as long as your cultivation improves, you can use corresponding treasures to upgrade the sword's level."

"Moreover, the attributes of this Ice Glass Sword match your own attributes very well."

Liu Bian introduced the Ice Glass Sword to Xiao Longnv in detail.

Hearing this, the look in Xiao Longnv's eyes toward Liu Bian also softened significantly.

After more than ten days of getting along, she had already accepted her fate.

Moreover, Liu Bian treated her quite well.

For her, who had never been in contact with people outside,

apart from being somewhat repelled at the beginning,

after getting to know Liu Bian later, she was no longer as resistant as before.

Moreover, Liu Bian had strength when he needed strength.

He had looks when he needed looks.

And his own temperament was also very attractive to the opposite sex.

Such a person was naturally quite attractive.

"Thank you!"

This was also the first time Xiao Longnv had thanked Liu Bian nicely.

"Very well, you all go back and rest first. Tomorrow We will go and find the Xiangyang defender, Lü Wende."

Subsequently, the three returned to their own rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, in the General's Manor of Xiangyang City.

Liu Bian and his group appeared before Lü Wende without alarming the guards.

"Who are you, and why have you come to my General's Manor?"

Seeing Liu Bian and the four, Lü Wende was full of vigilance.

These four could appear before him without alarming the guards.

These people were clearly not to be trifled with.

Moreover, looking at this, they were clearly here with ill intent.

"Xiangyang defender, Lü Wende, We will give you a chance to live."

"Submit to Us, pledge loyalty to Us, and We can continue to let you be your Xiangyang defender."

"Otherwise, die!"

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he pressed his aura toward Lü Wende.

"Bang!"

Before Lü Wende could react, his whole body was pressed to the ground by Liu Bian's aura.

In an instant, an aura of death enveloped him.

Lü Wende's whole body couldn't help but tremble.

A stream of hot liquid flowed down his leg.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Longnv and the three turned their heads away in disgust.

They hadn't expected this guy to actually pee himself in fear.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bian withdrew his aura.

And Lü Wende, after Liu Bian's aura was withdrawn, instantly felt his body could move.

He was also lying limply on the ground, gasping for air.

A while later, Lü Wende knelt at Liu Bian's feet, kowtowing frantically and begging for mercy.

"Good man, hero, I want to live, I beg the hero to let me go, I will listen to everything the hero says."

Lü Wende, having survived a disaster, was scared out of his wits.

At this moment, he just wanted Liu Bian to let him go.

As for what Liu Bian wanted him to do, he didn't care.

"Very well, in that case, We will spare your life."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction at Lü Wende.

Although this Lü Wende was somewhat cowardly and afraid of death, such people were also easier to control.

Subsequently, Liu Bian took out the Emperor's Heaven-Sealing List and added Lü Wende's name to it.

"General Lü, get up."

Only then did Liu Bian say to Lü Wende, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lü Wende hurriedly thanked him and stood up respectfully.

"You must not know Our identity yet."

Liu Bian looked at Lü Wende, who was full of caution below, and said.

And Lü Wende, upon hearing Liu Bian refer to himself as "Zhen" (We), felt a thunderclap explode in his mind.

As the Xiangyang defender, he knew.
