Chapter 0992: Rank Upgrade
Zhou Yuanzhen was very angry when he noticed the smile on Qin Chu's lips. Why was Qin Chu so arrogant? In his eyes, Qin Chu in the past was just a grass-roots person, a piece of trash without any background, but now he has become a marquis, and he can't afford to provoke him. Before, when Qin Chu fought with him, he could suppress Qin Chu with his status, but now it's not possible. Qin Chu is also a person of status, who can talk to the queen and communicate directly with the royal family.
At this time, Zhou Zhenhai, Zhou Yuanxing, Wu Chengfeng, and Teng Yuan all congratulated Qin Chu.
Teng Yuan knew that he would have to communicate with Qin Chu on an equal footing in the future, and suppression... would not exist.
After the reward was completed, Queen Wu told Teng Yuan and other officials that they should support the border, whether it was manpower or financial resources, there should be no delay, and they must be supported if needed.
Teng Yuan and other officials all received the order. This was a big deal, and they could not slack off at all.
After the court meeting was over, Qin Chu was dragged to his mansion by Zhou Yuanxing to drink.
"Qin Chu, you are safe now. With the status of a marquis, no one can bully you at will, because not only my grandfather knows your existence, but also our ancestors know that you have made contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty. No one can deny that. Besides, I won't let anyone get angry with you!" Zhou Yuanxing said after pouring a glass of wine for Qin Chu.
"I just want to practice and improve myself in peace and stability. I have nothing to do but drink with you and Prince Shuo. If you need me, I will help you fight. I haven't thought about anything else. I don't want to fight or argue!" Qin Chu said.
"Don't think too much. No one should target you. Zhou Yuanzhen and Zhou Yuanlong will not act rashly. As for the previous generation, they will not do it at all. Zhou Lie is ambitious. The other emperors have no random ideas, so there is no suppression." Zhou Yuanxing also understood the situation and knew what was going on.
Qin Chu nodded. He knew that the situation would change. He could kill the peak Saint King. If the Great Saint did not take action, no one would threaten him. As for the Great Saint, even those who were counted would not take action easily.
After communicating with Zhou Yuanxing for a while, Qin Chu returned to the mansion.
"Who did you drink with?" Shi Qingfei made a pot of tea for Qin Chu.
"I drank with Zhou Yuanxing. When the next round of the Void Spirit Tower is open, you will have a place to practice. This is what Empress Wu promised, and it should be correct!" Qin Chu said.
"My husband, I have troubled you with my affairs. This reward should have been yours." Shi Qingfei sighed.
"The situation is like this. They made me a marquis of the country and gave me some rewards. I said I don't want these, just a place to practice in the Void Spirit Tower, but they gave me the place and the reward." Qin Chu said with a smile.
"That means my husband asked for another place on the original reward?" Shi Qingfei asked.
"That's right. Empress Wu made me a marquis, and I have given you a lot of rewards." Qin Chu took out a storage ring and checked it. He found that there were a lot of resources in it, more than two million spirit stones, and some materials. It can be said that the rewards are generous.
While Qin Chu was chatting with Shi Qingfei, the palace eunuchs came and brought Qin Chu a robe and a marquis token. They also changed the door lintel of Qin Chu's mansion, and the Qin Mansion became the Qin Marquis Mansion.
In the afternoon, the city guards stationed a small team at the door of Qin Chu's mansion. This is the treatment of a marquis.
Qin Chu felt that it was a bit too much, but this was the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he accepted it. Although it was a bit ostentatious, it was not bad. Some petty thefts would not appear at the door of his mansion.
The robes of the marquis were very grand, but Qin Chu didn't like them. He still liked his plain white robes. As for showing his identity, he felt that it was not necessary. He just wore the marquis token on his body. In the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who didn't know him were all unknown people, and they wouldn't bring him any trouble.
While Qin Chu and Shi Qingfei were celebrating, Shi Xuan, Shi Mo and Shi Qingyan came to Qin Chu's mansion.
"Brother-in-law is so domineering! When I first arrived at the gate, I thought I had walked into the wrong door." Shi Qingyan said.
"On the way here, we got the news that Guo Hou...you have established a firm foothold in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the development of our Lingyao Mountain will be much smoother." Shi Mo said.
"Some people should not cause trouble. After all, they have become familiar faces." Qin Chu pulled out a chair and asked Shi Xuan and Shi Mo to sit down. As for Shi Qingyan, she sat down by herself without being polite.
Everyone sat together and talked about this day. When Shi Qingfei said that Qin Chu fought three games in a row, took down three peak saint kings, helped the Great Zhou Dynasty regain the three cities it lost, and won six cities. Shi Qingyan's eyes were full of surprise.
"Brother-in-law, it's okay that you practice fast, but you also fight across levels. Isn't this a bit too much?" Putting down the wine glass in her hand, Shi Qingyan began to question.
"Qingyan, you know how to play, but does your brother-in-law play? He usually practices all the time, and this is the result of hard work." Shi Mo scolded his daughter. Although he said so, he was also shocked in his heart. The seventh-level Saint King killed three peak Saint Kings in a row. This requires super combat ability, and there is no luck.
After drinking, Shi Mo and Shi Xuan left. They went to the base of Lingyao Mountain in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Shi Qingyan stayed to accompany Shi Qingfei. The Guohou Mansion is similar to her home.
Qin Chu walked around the Jipin Pill Pavilion, and then went to Yayuan, and took the teleportation array to the bamboo forest in the inner courtyard of the palace.
After being teleported to the bamboo forest of the imperial palace, Qin Chu did not show up directly, because he found out that Empress Wu was handling things and was scolding Ling Su who was kneeling on the ground.
After scolding a few words, Ling Su went out, and he went out honestly.
After Ling Su left, Qin Chu walked out of the attic where the teleportation array was hidden.
"Have you dealt with them honestly?" Qin Chu asked after sitting down.
"Very honest! I am hesitating whether to deal with Zhou Yuanzhen or not. In fact, even if I don't deal with him, he can't jump up. Dealing with him is also considered to be a move against the royal family, which is a bit wrong." Empress Wu said to Qin Chu.
"Then let it go for now, he can't threaten Yuan Xing's status." After thinking for a while, Qin Chu said, he knew that Empress Wu couldn't be ruthless and act against the Zhou family. Of course, she would not be polite if she was sorry for her.
"Then don't let Ling Su get what she wants. Ling Su wants to highlight her own value, wants to take down Zhou Yuanzhen, and then manage Prince Yuanzhen's mansion for me, and become a hidden force." Empress Wu said to Qin Chu.
Qin Chu shook his head, "Let's wait and see for now! It's enough to let Yuan Xing take the position smoothly, and then live a low-key life."
"I think so too. I may have wanted to fight for it before, but now I'm not interested. What I care about is that you come to see me more often." Empress Wu said to Qin Chu.
"I'm leaving. I can't help it. I'm going to challenge the peak Saint King." Looking at Empress Wu's pretty face, Qin Chu was impulsive.
