Chapter 506: Xiangyang Arrangements

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

Li Mochou was also incredibly excited upon hearing this.

She had not expected that Liu Bian would 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 immense strength.

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

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this subordinate will certainly guard Xiangyang well for Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently, Liu Bian said solemnly to Li Mochou:

"Li Mochou, listen to the conferment!"

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

Now, it was time to give her a position.

Once the Great Han Empire began its conquest of this world, she could also cultivate with the help of national fortune.

"I confer upon Li Mochou the position of Fourth-Rank Tribute of the Great Han Dynasty's Hall of Worship, with an official rank of Upper Fourth Grade, a salary of six hundred *shi*, and reward her with a Mystic-Grade Lower-Quality weapon, the Ice Soul Sword, one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and the Great Han Dynasty identity jade token."

After Liu Bian finished speaking, with a wave of his right hand, a blue precious sword emitting 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 had suddenly appeared, Li Mochou trembled with excitement.

"This subordinate thanks Your Majesty!"

After bowing in thanks to Liu Bian, Li Mochou reached out with trembling hands and took the items Liu Bian had rewarded her with.

On the spot, she had the identity jade token recognize her as its master, and the identity jade token changed from white to blue, symbolizing the Great Han Fourth-Rank official position.

Afterward, she also had the Mystic-Grade Lower-Quality weapon, the Ice Soul Sword, recognize her as its master.

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

With her Postnatal 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 even higher-grade weapons.

However, higher-grade weapons also required corresponding cultivation levels.

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, 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 will be able to reach the Postnatal Ninth Layer within three months."

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

"Lingbo thanks Your Majesty for the reward, this subordinate pledges to pledge loyalty to Your Majesty until death."

Seeing that she also had a reward, Hong Lingbo bowed to Liu Bian in excitement.

Afterward, Hong Lingbo also had the identity jade token recognize her as its master.

However, hers was just an ordinary identity jade token.

After all, she did not yet hold an official position in the court.

After resolving 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.

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

Xiao Longnv glanced at Liu Bian and did not stand on ceremony, putting them away calmly.

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

"As for this sword, it was custom-made by me for you; the sword is named the 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 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 come into contact with people from the outside world,

apart from being somewhat repulsed 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 it,

and had looks when he needed them.

Moreover, 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 to rest. Tomorrow I will go find the Xiangyang defender, Lü Wende."

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

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

Liu Bian and his group appeared before Lü Wende without alerting 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 caution.

These four could appear before him without alerting 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, I will give you a chance to live."

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

"Otherwise, die!"

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

"Bang!"

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

In an instant, a scent of death enveloped him.

Lü Wende's entire body could not help but tremble.

A stream of hot liquid flowed down his leg.

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

They had not expected this guy to have peed himself directly from 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 paralyzed 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, please spare me, hero, I will listen to everything you say."

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

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

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

"Good. In that case, I will spare your life."

Seeing that his 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 relatively easy 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."

At this time, Liu Bian said to Lü Wende, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lü Wende hurriedly thanked him before standing up respectfully.

"I presume you still don't know my identity."

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", felt a thunderclap explode in his brain.

As the Xiangyang defender, he knew.
