This time the incident was really sensational. Yan Liqiang led the army and only stayed in Yingwei County for one night. The next day he took the army back to Pingxi City. On the way back, almost all the way there were people from Qiyun County who were welcomed. Yan Liqiang was moved.

On the day of his return, in order to thank the support of the fellow villagers in Pingxi County, Yan Liqiang and his triumphant army held a grand entry ceremony in Pingxi City. This entry ceremony was truly crowded and extremely grand. With all the soldiers of Yan Liqiang's Western Expedition, including the Longya Army and the several great masters led by Situ Feixing, they all entered the city with flowers and applause and accepted everyone's praise and congratulations.

On this day, Pingxi City was even more lively and festive than the New Year.

That night, Yan Liqiang officially held a banquet in Qi Yun’s Supervisor’s Mansion to entertain his generals, civil and military officials from Ganzhou who came to Qi Yun County and representatives of many wealthy families.

After the banquet, Yan Liqiang and Ries came to the study together, and the two of them had their first formal secret talk after this meeting.

"Li Qiang, although you have become the King of Pingxi, you are also the target of public criticism. This position is not easy. I support you in Ganzhou, but it is hard to say that after leaving Ganzhou, the imperial edict of the Jinzhou court has raised you so high at once. It seems to be glorious, but when you are tall, it is also a bit cold wind!" Ries said to Yan Liqiang earnestly while drinking sobering tea.

In fact, in the past two days, Riestong has been quietly observing Yan Liqiang, wanting to see if Yan Liqiang is gloomy when he becomes the Queen of Pingxi and whether he can hold on. However, after two days of observation, he found that Yan Liqiang is not only not gloomy but is more cautious. This is also true at the banquet today. He then said his heart to Yan Liqiang. Now his relationship with Yan Liqiang is not just a superior or subordinate in the officialdom or a partner who makes money together. The two are not only friends, but also fellow disciples of Yuluo Sect. They not only have common interests, but also shoulder the same mission. This relationship is closely beyond others' imagination.

Listening to Rie Sitong's words, Yan Liqiang smiled. To be honest, he really didn't like the title of King Pingxi, because this title always reminded him of the stories of Wu Sangui and Wei Xiaobao. Of course, he had no way to tell others about this reason. Since the imperial court in Jinzhou gave him this title, he could only accept it. After all, from ancient times to the present, no prince can choose a title himself after becoming a prince.

"I know that at this moment, the governors of several other states in the northwest are probably trying to deal with me, the King Pingxi who suddenly crawled onto their heads and wanted to take over their military power. These governors have just been local emperors who have not been constrained by the imperial court for a few days. They may be thinking about how to do this local emperor for generations. I suddenly jumped out and it was not happy for anyone!" Yan Liqiang said, and took a leisurely sip of tea.

Seeing Yan Liqiang have such insight and understanding, Ries breathed a long sigh, "It would be best if you can see this. The governors of other states will never dare to jump out and fight you at this time, but you, King Pingxi, are probably in their hearts now, and you must be mentally prepared for this!"

"Haha, it doesn't matter. I don't plan to do anything to them for the time being. Let them be happy for a few more days. As long as I have the name of King Pingxi, it's enough. Now I can't take care of the territory as big as the ancient Lang Grassland and the Black Capricorn tribe. I'm not interested in their acres of land on the ground for the time being..."

Riestong nodded with a serious expression, "Li Qiang, I want to remind you that the rewards of the Gongtian grassland promised by the killing Hu Ling, the sooner you fulfilled the better. This matter is of great importance and involves the interests of countless people. If you are not careful, it will cause a huge storm and cause a big mess. There will be villains in it. You must come up with a plan to fulfill it as soon as possible. Didn't you notice just now? At the banquet, none of the representatives of the wealthy families present proposed to fulfill the Gongtian grassland. This is not a happy thing. Those people hold the most land deeds of Gongtian grassland, but because your status is extraordinary, no one is willing to tell you this to you in public, so as not to make you hate you. But behind the scenes, those people's thoughts are difficult to figure out..."

Yan Liqiang also nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, I know what to do. I was waiting for someone to come up with this topic during the banquet just now and I would give them a reassurance. Since no one said that, I will ask the Supervisor's Office to issue an announcement tomorrow to make them feel at ease. Then I will arrange the fulfillment of the grassland's merits..."

"Well, this is the best, what do you want next?"

"The next step is to reward merits. Now I have too many territory and the existing personnel institutions are unable to cope with it. I have to make adjustments and changes. This adjustment may be a bit big, which will involve all aspects of the Dragon Ya Army and the Supervisor's Office. I had wanted to move a long time ago, but the time is not suitable. Now that I have returned from a great victory, I have to prepare for the construction of the Pingxi Prince's Mansion. I can just put some of my previous ideas into practice. I would like to ask for support from one thing..."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Ries asked curiously.

"The size of the archway club in Qiyun County is limited. This time, the Longya Army won a great victory. There must be more young people who will participate in the archway club this year. At this time, I think the archway club can be opened throughout Ganzhou. I plan to build a archway club in each county in Ganzhou. Please support me!"

"Hahaha, this is a good thing. Even if you don't say it, I'll still plan to tell you. I can't ask for it!" Lei Si rubbed his hands together, and showed the signature "Lei Tiger" smile. "How much land should the bow road clubs in each county in Ganzhou use and where they want to build it, I'll take care of it. You can just ask someone to choose a place. But I have a requirement. After those bow road clubs are built, I will select 10,000 soldiers from the Ganzhou army to study in the bow road clubs in each county for a year. You should not hide your own personal information!"

Yan Liqiang glanced at Ries with the same look, "Okay, deal!"

"By the way, my nephew went out to fight a few battles this time, and he became more and more wild. He didn't want to go back to the Ganzhou army anymore. He wanted to follow you..."

"Haha, no problem, I just happen to be missing a battalion general..."

The two looked at each other and laughed...

...

Just at noon the next day, there was an additional notice in the official bulletin boards in Pingxi City. Qi Yun’s Supervisor’s Office has begun to prepare to fulfill the contract to obtain the grassland merit field in the killing Hu Ling. He also asked those who hold the grassland merit field contract in the killing Hu Ling. In seven days, they will go to Pingxi City and Yingwei County to register and count the number of contracted fields in the grassland public fields. In the future, all grassland merit field safety principles held by a person will be divided together. It is a plot. Each person holds multiple grassland merit field deeds in his hands and needs to be merged. New merit field deeds can be issued...
