The moment he walked into the hall, Chen Ke had recovered from his calmness.

The magnificent hall is filled with bright lights and wine, and the powerful and wealthy people are drinking and chatting and laughing. There are more than 200 people.

At a corner of the hall, King Xia Yun of Shu often wore regular clothes, surrounded by guests like stars arching the moon, talking and graceful.

"Nephew, come here!" When the King of Shu saw Chen Ke walking in, he stretched out his hand regardless of his demeanor and greeted him.

This sound made Chen Ke the focus of the audience. The gaze projected by the girl in purple made Chen Ke especially frightened.

Chen Ke walked through the crowd, came to the King of Shu, bowed and said, "Students have seen Your Highness!"

Xia Yunchang raised the crystal cup containing the wine of grapes and laughed: "Nephew, thanks to you, I have submitted a letter to the court and appointed you as the third-class viscount. From now on, you will be the viscount with the title."

The people around him looked at Chen Ke in surprise, and had already guessed Chen Ke's identity.

The assassination of the King of Shu shocked the empire. Although everyone did not know this inside story, they also knew that it was Chen Ke who discovered the conspiracy of the traitor that allowed the King of Shu to escape.

The boys were envious. Although the third-class viscount was only two levels higher than the fifth-class viscount Chen Ke's previous, the treatment was very different.

If you have a third-class or above, the title is a real title. You will not only enjoy a salary, but also have a title for the title.

More importantly, only those with third-class titles or above are eligible for fiefdom and fief.

Of course, with the current situation of the Great Xia Dynasty, even if it has a fiefdom, it cannot be within the Jiuzhou, but only in those lands that have fallen.

This is an opportunity and a risk. Looking at the century-long empire, many nobles have expanded their power and opened up territory on the fallen fiefs, thus gaining higher glory.

But more nobles arrived at their fiefdoms and were directly destroyed by powerful enemies surrounding them without a month.

But no matter what, the nobles have a fiefdom, which is itself a supreme glory, and it also means that he truly enters the circle of powerful people in the empire.

Chen Ke respectfully bowed: "Thank you for your kindness!"

He had known about this for a long time, and he knew that the reward of this third-class viscount was at most half a cent related to the King of Shu.

The real reason for his reward was the joint recommendation of Wu Jiutian, the mountain captain of Haotian Academy, and Qin Kaishan, the president of the Meicheng City Guarding Army.

Chen Ke saved Qin Kaishan's life, preventing the Meicheng army from being in chaos, and even preventing the empire's morale from being severely damaged.

It is not an exaggeration to give Chen Kefeng a first-class viscount.

It’s a pity that Chen Ke has no military merits and is somewhat difficult to convince the public.

So after weighing the pros and cons of the court, and someone pulled the hindrance, the first-class viscount that he had originally won became a third-class.

King Jiaxu nodded and smiled at everyone, "Chen Ke has also made great contributions to the establishment of the Eagle Foundation this time. It was he who cooperated with the academy to raise 2 million taels of silver that made the foundation get on track in such a quick time."

The two southern military generals who were informed nodded slightly to Chen Ke, and Chen Ke also gave a small salute.

A young man in a gorgeous costume flashed his eyes and looked at Chen Ke with a sarcastic look on his face: "Who can't be generous with others? What's so great about it!"

Chen Ke looked at the arrogant boy and suddenly said angrily: "Rareless, how can you say that to Your Highness? Why don't you apologize to Your Highness quickly!"

The boy was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red and he said loudly: "I, I'm talking about you, and I didn't talk about Your Highness!"

Immediately he looked at the gloomy King of Shu and hurriedly defended: "Your Highness, the student really has not insinuated you!"

The King of Shu was furious, you are just making allusions now!

The King of Shu smiled and said in a cold tone: "My uncle came all the way from the capital. I guess he was tired. Let's go down and rest first."

The boy's face suddenly turned ashamed, wiped his tears in grievance, and walked out with his head down.

When passing by Chen Ke, the young man glared at Chen Ke fiercely.

Chen Ke, wait for me, wait for you to arrive in the capital and see if I won’t kill you!

The boy left sadly, and the scene became a little awkward.

The establishment of the Eagle Foundation actually has nothing to do with the King of Shu at all, and the King of Shu did not invest half a cent in it.

The two million taels that Chen Ke took out were at least won by himself, but the King of Shu only had a blank lip service, which was the real "generous of others".

But the King of Shu is the King of Shu after all, no one can stop him from picking peaches or snatching merits and fame.

On the plus side, the King of Shu’s intervention in the Foundation can indeed attract greater attention from the outside world and gain more support.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that both the Southern Military Department and the Haotian Academy remained silent.

Several officials and boys from the capital looked at Chen Ke in surprise again.

The Chen family's two generations of imperial merchants and two presidents of the Shuzhou Chamber of Commerce. Their fame has long been not limited to Shuzhou. No one in the Jiuzhou of the Empire did not know the existence of the Chen family.

As the third-generation heir of the Chen family and the only heir, Chen Ke is naturally also concerned.

It’s just that rumored that Chen Ke was not a second-generation ancestor who was ignorant of his life and money, so why didn’t he look very similar?

The King of Shu also saw Chen Ke's changes, not only in terms of body shape, but also in terms of temperament.

Maybe he entered the secret realm of the academy and did learn something.

Boy, you just made me a move and now you want to return it to me!

The King of Shu looked at Chen Ke kindly and said in a gentle tone: "Nephew, I heard from the mountain leader that you are going to transfer to the Daxia Academy. When are you planning to leave?"

Chen Ke said truthfully: "Of course the faster the better."

This is definitely his true words, especially when he found that the Eight-Winged Goddess also appeared in the banquet hall, and he wanted to leave now.

The King of Shu laughed in his heart. He knew that Chen Ke's life was very difficult in Haotian Academy. Even the bed was splashed with feces, so of course he was reluctant to leave quickly.

Just leaving Shuzhou and coming to the capital, do you think you are freed?

childish!

The King of Shu pretended to be curious and said, "I heard that your father intends to marry the princess of Qin for you?"

puff!

Countless guests who were following the conversation here sprayed out the wine in their mouths almost at the same time, looking at Chen Ke in disbelief.

The boys around the King of Shu showed even more anger and looked at Chen Ke with sharp eyes.

You second-generation ancestor, a college scumbag, who gives you the courage?!

Toads want to eat swan meat is no longer enough to describe the Chen family's crazyness.

This is blasphemy, blasphemy to the princess of Qin, blasphemy to everyone, and blasphemy to the empire!

However, the next words of the King of Shu completely ignited the anger in their hearts.

The King of Shu was still curious: "I heard that your father begged the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor seemed to have moved?"

Bang, bang, bang!

Countless crystal wine glasses were crushed, like the broken hearts of the teenagers.

Hey, hey, hey!

The sound of gritting teeth and the sound of pinching fists came one after another in the hall.

Chen Ke looked at the hostile gazes and murderous faces, and was shocked.

Isn’t he just a princess in Qin? He is not a goddess. As for letting them do this?

In a blink of an eye, I became the public enemy of everyone?

"Your Majesty dare!"

Behind the King of Shu, a young man stared at him and suddenly roared angrily and rushed towards Chen Ke like a tiger.
