"Pass down the decree that all ministers who have lost their lives for their country will be promoted by one rank and be given the title of 'dead lord'. Their descendants will be under the protection of the country for the rest of their lives!"

Li Jun was wearing a dragon robe as she sat on the dragon throne and issued an imperial edict. Everyone who died was loyal to their country, vowing to protect their country with their lives. They deserved the honor!

Xiao Feng cupped his fist and bowed to Li Yu, the respect in his heart couldn't help but increase a lot. With such a wise king in the country, what need was there to worry about the Southern Song being underdeveloped?

"In addition, Brother Xiao should remember the first meritorious deed after this coup. Without him, my Southern Song said that we might not have fallen into the hands of the scoundrels. He is our Southern Song's great benefactor!"

Soon after, Li Jun stood up from the Dragon Throne and walked down while looking gratefully at Xiao Feng. Not a single one of the ministers present were unconvinced. All of their gazes were filled with respect as they looked at Xiao Feng!

"Brother Xiao, what reward do you want? As long as it's something our Southern Song has, we will not be stingy. Whether it's something noble or valuable, Zheng will satisfy you!"

When Xiao Feng heard Li Yu's words, he hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty, how could Xiao Feng obtain such kindness from Your Majesty? The reason why the Southern Song Dynasty was able to escape danger is all because of an enlightened ruler like Your Majesty and the loyal and patriotic masters.

"Moreover, I can be considered a friend of His Highness. If my friend is in trouble, it is only natural for Xiao Feng to do his best. If it is for the sake of fame, then Xiao Feng will not interfere!"

Xiao Feng explained in a neither humble nor haughty manner. Regardless of whether it was in his previous life or his current life, he, Xiao Feng, only relied on the heart of chivalry to accomplish all things.

Li Yu was also moved by Xiao Feng's chivalrous heart. As the noble emperor, he felt respect for Xiao Feng and nodded in agreement!

"Even though you said it like that, no matter what, Brother Xiao did a great job and must be rewarded. Brother Xiao, please think carefully. If there is anything you need, feel free to say it!" However, he still insisted on Xiao Feng's contribution!

Xiao Feng still wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Li Shuo shaking his head on the side. He then thought about what exactly he needed.

After a long while, his eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his head and bowed towards Li Jun as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the Southern Song has any elixirs that can nourish and heal the soul!" After thinking for a long time, Xiao Feng finally thought of the sleeping Dragon Spirit. The Dragon Spirit had exhausted all of its strength to save him. This had always been the most guilty thing in his heart!

"Spiritual medicine that nourishes the soul?" Li Jun glanced at Xiao Feng in shock. This kind of medicinal herb was rarely seen and there were very few who could use it. What did Xiao Feng want?!

After pondering for a moment, Li Jun opened her mouth and said, "Although this kind of elixir is not common, there is a Mixed Spirit Fruit in the treasury. It's the soul recovery elixir that has a price and no market, since Brother Xiao is useful, I'll give it to Brother Xiao!"

Xiao Feng's face was filled with joy. He didn't expect that he would be able to find something like this with just a casual question. He couldn't help but thank Li Jun, but she stopped him!

"It is only a mixed fruit. How can it reflect Brother Xiao's achievements? Pass the decree that Xiao Feng will be conferred the title of Grand Marshal of the Southern Song Army and will command over a million troops to guard our Southern Song Country!"

Xiao Feng's expression changed greatly. He was startled by the sudden appearance of Li Jun. He quickly knelt down and greeted her, politely refusing her. This kind of reward was too big!

"Your Majesty, this cannot be allowed. Please retract your order!"

"To be honest, I, Xiao Feng, a citizen of the Eastern Liao Kingdom, was lucky enough to meet Your Highness and ended up getting along with you. This is why I came to the Southern Song Dynasty and could never accept His Majesty's decree. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Li Yu was also surprised, then he helped Xiao Feng up and said, "Since ancient times, there have been no boundaries between people. Who said that the Eastern Lions could not be the Great Marshal of War of our Southern Song Dynasty? Brother Xiao, you don't have to be so modest! "

Your Majesty, this old subject approves of Great Hero Xiao's words. Great Hero Xiao's kindness is as great as a mountain, and should have received such a great reward, but even if we have no objections, the outside world will definitely speak ill of you.

Just as Xiao Feng was about to refuse again, the new Prime Minister stood out and said to Li Yu, causing Li Yu to frown and fall into deep thought.

"Imperial Father, Prime Minister is right. Even if we do not consider the Southern Song Dynasty, we should still consider Brother Xiao. Also, Brother Xiao's desire is not to have a good name, but to restrict Brother Xiao by doing so would be a violation of the principle of repaying the debt of gratitude!"

He had known Xiao Feng for the longest period of time and knew him better than him. Naturally, he understood what kind of person Xiao Feng was.

Xiao Feng looked gratefully at Li Shuo, who smiled and nodded to him in response!

"Alright, since that is the case, Zheng shall retract the order. But from today onwards, Brother Xiao will be the Senior Official of our Southern Song Dynasty, the position of the Prime Minister is equal to that of the Prime Minister, you can mobilize the troops of the entire nation however you wish, but Zheng will allow you to be free to do whatever you wish, you have no right nor name, you can do whatever you want, you can't refuse anymore!"

Xiao Feng secretly let out a sigh of relief. However, the latter's following words really did surprise him for a while!

"Brother Xiao, this is my royal father's favor and also the respect and respect Southern Song has for you. If you continue to refuse, then you will be looking down on my Southern Song!"

Xiao Feng thought for a while before finally nodding in agreement. What Li Shuo said was right. If he refused again, then he really wouldn't give Li Jun any face. This way, it would backfire!

After the end of the last assembly, Xiao Feng and Li Yu conversed for a while before they prepared to leave and return to Eastern Liao Kingdom. After calculating the time, it had already been two months since he entered the Sword Tomb.

Furthermore, the sect competition that the Cloud Returning Sword Sect had originally set had probably already begun. He would definitely not be able to make it in time. He could only hope to make it to the national war!

"Brother Xiao, this is my Southern Song's Emperor Gold Medallion. If you see my gold medallion, you can use the entire nation's forces as long as you see me. Also, if there is a need, I can feel it as long as you use more force on it!"

At the same time that Li s Primordius Fruit was handed to Xiao Feng, he also gave him a shining gold plate in his hand. A domineering and dignified character, Song character, was engraved on it!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Feng cupped his fist in greeting before leaving the palace, returning to his own resting place. That night, he refined the Primordius Fruit with Azure Dragon Qi and fused it into the dragon head on his chest, letting the dragon spirit absorb it!

As the Primordius energy entered his body, Xiao Feng felt a warm feeling transmitted through his body. There was a faint sound of the dragon spirit's weak voice mixed within.

"Thank you!" Xiao Feng smiled slightly. Although he didn't immediately wake up after the dragon spirit had absorbed the Primordius Fruit, he could feel that his aura had recovered quite a bit!
