Sun Banban came to the city gate with Wu Zhao's order and waited for the team that had just returned from Hezhou.

This time the team for the reward was still very large. After all, it was prepared based on the support of the king.

Except that there is no negative pressure formation for the clan prince, the other support is exactly the same as the king's support.

Seeing Sun Banban waiting on the road, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Etiquette, who was in charge of leading the team, immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Although the rank of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites was higher than that of Sun Banban, Sun Banban was a close minister of Wu Zhao.

Not to mention him, not even his immediate superior, the Minister of Rites, dared to make a mistake.

"Zhao Lin accepts the order." Sun Banban said majestically.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin quickly bent down and saluted, waiting for the imperial edict.

After Sun Banban announced Wu Zhao's oral edict, Zhao Lin was immediately stunned.

Even though he had received the reward, he still refused to disband on the spot and asked everyone to go to the inn to wait for orders.

Even if there are still reward missions, they should not be used again.

"Sun Banban, what does your majesty mean by asking us to stand by?" Zhao Lin took a step closer to Sun Banban and asked Sun Banban in a low voice.

Sun Banban shook his head gently: "Master Zhao doesn't even know, let alone our family."

Sun Banban answered very politely.

In fact, although Sun Banban knew that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were more or less afraid of him.

However, Sun Banban has never used his power to bully others, and Sun Banban always does everything with reason, reason, and law.

I will never leave any clue to anyone.

Zhao Lin praised him and said, "Sun Banban, you are His Majesty's most trusted confidant."

Sun Banban said quickly: "The people your Majesty trusts the most are Mr. Zhao and you, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

You are the pillars of the country, and our family is just a loyal slave beside His Majesty."

What Sun Banban said was so impeccable that Zhao Lin had absolutely no choice.

I can only take everyone to the post house to rest according to the decree.

A trip to Hezhou took more than a month to go back and forth.

Even though we don’t have to eat or sleep in the open air, it’s definitely not a waste of time.

As a result, not only can I not go home, I have to wait for orders at the inn.

Even if the people in the team dare not say it with their mouths, they will inevitably complain in their hearts.

But when they entered the inn, most of their complaints disappeared.

Sun Banban took them to the most luxurious inn in the city.

This place was originally designed to receive foreign envoys, and normally it would not be used by Beijing officials.

Now he has been temporarily recruited by Sun Banban.

In addition, the chefs and ingredients inside are also among the best in Fengjing City.

For most people in the award team, such enjoyment is beyond their imagination.

After doing this, all the resentment everyone had was naturally gone.

Through these details, we can also see why Sun Banban has always been trusted and reused by Wu Zhao.

As a slave, Sun Banban truly shared his master's worries.

For many things, Wu Zhao just needed to tell Sun Banban the result.

Sun Banban can arrange the process properly, so that no one will feel any dissatisfaction with their master, and will only feel grateful for Wu Zhao's kindness.

"Master Zhao, please take the people and make repairs here first. If Your Majesty has further orders, our family will come again to convey the orders." Sun Banban and Zhao Lin said goodbye.

Zhao Lin politely sent Sun Banban to the door and tested him back and forth twice more.

Still haven't gotten any useful information.

Although Sun Banban is not in the officialdom, Sun Banban is more sophisticated than any veteran in the officialdom.

It is really difficult to get useful information from Sun Banban.

Throughout the entire process, Sun Banban had no hidden whereabouts.

So before Sun Banban walked out of the inn, all the officials with some strength in Fengjing City knew that the reward team returning from Hezhou had not been disbanded, but had been invited into the inn.

This thing is still very unusual, so many people want to know what happened.

So people from all walks of life, after Sun Banban left, sent people into the inn one after another, trying to find out some inside information.

It's not that Zhao Lin doesn't want to say something to everyone, but he really doesn't know anything.

Sun Banban was tight-lipped, and he had no place to guess even if he wanted to.

Since there are no clues, everyone can only make random guesses.

There is speculation that Zhao Lin and the others may need to set off to the Ten Thousand Monsters Country to reward the Ten Thousand Monsters Country.

Now the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom is theoretically half a subsidiary of the Wu Dynasty. It is only natural to go to the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom to give rewards and highlight the existence of the Wu Dynasty.

Some people also speculate that Zhao Lin and others may be needed as scapegoats in the future.

They used some of Zhao Lin's practices in Hezhou to show Ning Chen's transgression, and used this roundabout way to suppress Ning Chen.

However, such speculation is not very tenable, because the person who stopped Zhao Lin and the others was none other than Sun Banban.

One of the most trusted and closest people around Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao and Ning Chen are deeply bound, how could Wu Zhao use such a method to beat Ning Chen.

In short, all kinds of speculations and rumors are flying in the sky.

No matter how random guesses are made, no one can guess the truth of the matter.

It's not their fault either.

The matter of Ning Chen breaking through to the third level has a very high level of confidentiality.

In addition, the incident has just happened, and it will take time for the news to be sent back.

Since they didn't get first-hand information, they couldn't judge.

With such doubts, everyone waited until the morning of the next day.

Before the morning court on the second day, while the officials were waiting outside the palace gate, they were still exchanging information with each other.

Even Wang Lin kept communicating with Lin Dunxin, wanting to see if Lin Dunxin knew any inside information.

Seeing Lin Dunxin not saying a word, Wang Lin was also very angry: "At first glance, you look like me. You don't know anything at all, and you are still pretending that you know everything."

Lin Dunxin responded to Wang Lindao: "Since you know that I don't know anything, why do you come to ask me?"

Wang Lin choked and immediately retorted: "Don't be arrogant. When His Majesty makes the announcement, you might not be as calm as I am."

Lin Dunxin asked back: "So you have made some guesses."

Although Wang Lin knew that Lin Dunxin did not believe in his judgment, at this time, Wang Lin could not lose the battle. Even if his judgment was outrageous, Wang Lin had to speak out bravely.

"They have just returned from Hezhou, and now they have been detained. It is already obvious that they are preparing to return to Hezhou and reward the champion again."

After hearing Wang Lin's words, Lin Dunxin couldn't help but sneer and said: "Your judgment is really well-founded."

It's really hard for Lin Dunxin to convince himself of Wang Lin's unreliable judgment.

If this team still wants to return to Hezhou, the only choice is to make Ning Chen the king.

But how long has it been, just over a month, for Ning Chen to achieve another great achievement and become a king?

Even though the war in the Western Region is tense now, not all the results can make Ning Chen the king.

The last time Ning Chen killed a Bodhisattva, if he wanted to successfully become the king this time, he would need at least the same level of merit.

Even for achievements of the same level, people may be criticized a little, and they must surpass the previous achievements before people will have nothing to say.

However, in such a short period of time, Ning Chen can make such huge achievements again?

Is this possible?

Although Lin Dunxin believed that it was only a matter of time before Ning Chen was crowned king, Lin Dunxin still couldn't believe it in such a short time.

"We will go to court soon. We will see the outcome later." Faced with Lin Dunxin's ridicule, Wang Lin could only resist to the end.

Soon the drums sounded, and all the civil and military officials entered the Jinluan Hall in order.

After all the officials stood still, Wu Zhaocai sat down on the imperial chair with a happy face.

"Long live my emperor..."

After saying long live the mountain, Sun Banban started to go through the process.

After dealing with a few minor problems that were not painful or painful, all the civil and military officials looked at Wu Zhao.

Because they all knew that it was time for Wu Zhao to tell what happened next.
