Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 988: Chapter 694: Though the Body Remains Young, the Heart Has Grown Old

Yu Tonghai, Marquis of the Liao Sea, First Class of Da’an, Left Governor of the Navy Commander’s Mansion, Junior Protector of the Crown Prince, bestowed with the title Dragon Tiger General.

Today, Yu Tonghai is indeed at the pinnacle of power in the Da’an New Dynasty.

In the Da’an New Dynasty, there are six Dukes, among them, Qu Shaogong, Liang Jinyan, and Zhou Yuanchen inherit the titles from the previous Da Rong. If Liang Jinyan is Duke Ping, it is actually the title of the previous Marquis Changping.

Similarly, Xue Ping’s Duke Chang is also a title inherited from Da Rong’s Marquis Haichang. On the surface, Xue Ping seems to have surpassed Yu Tonghai, but let’s not forget there is a familial connection here.

As for Xie Linxuan and Han Fei, their positions actually come from Xie Yuan and Han Cheng.

Xie Yuan and Han Cheng began following Yang Zhenshan from An Yuan City, and for so many years, the Xie family and the Han family have always been aligned with the Yang family, representing the early followers of the Yang family’s warriors.

Yu Tonghai joined Yang Zhenshan’s ranks from the Tenglong Guard. In terms of military achievements and abilities, it wouldn’t be a problem to grant him a Duke’s title, but unfortunately, the Duke titles determined by Yang Zhenshan beforehand were only six, so he could only be made a Marquis.

However, Yang Zhenshan has already discussed with Yang Chengye that when the Da’an New Dynasty stabilizes, they will honor more meritorious officials, and by that time, Yu Tonghai will definitely receive a hereditary Duke title.

In the mountains, it was impossible to ride, so Yu Tonghai walked all the way.

There is still a distance from here to Cui Xia Valley, and since Yu Tonghai is really busy now, he arrived a bit late.

”Hahaha~~ Mr. Lu, long time no see!”

Before he arrived, a hearty laugh had already echoed through the forest.

”Greetings to the Grand Governor!”

The new soldiers on the hillside heard the voice and immediately saluted in unison.

The loud voice reverberated through the forest, sounding very imposing.

The Grand Governor refers to the Left Governor of the Six Armies Commander’s Office. The official position has not changed, but the title has, which was deliberately done by Yang Chengye.

This is because the Da’an New Dynasty wanted to strengthen the leadership power of the Six Armies Commander’s Office, so they made some formal changes.

Seeing Yu Tonghai arriving, Lv Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was quite apprehensive before, fearing that something might have gone wrong with Yang Zhenshan’s side.

If Yang Zhenshan was unwilling to take him in, he would become a homeless wanderer.

Lv Hua showed a faint smile, though it looked a bit unsightly now. He was no longer the dignified Northern Station Commander he once was.

”I’ve met Marquis Yu!”

In a blink, Yu Tonghai had already leaped to Lv Hua’s side, smiling, ”Mr. Lu, there’s no need to be so formal. I’ve already received the old Marquis’ reply!”

”Haha, the old Marquis means to first arrange a place for them to live, let them quietly stay for two years, and then talk. If they prove to have no issues after two years, they will become the Secret Martial Guards of Da’an!”

Yu Tonghai got straight to the point, explaining the arrangement for those Divine Sun Sect followers.

These Divine Sun Sect followers were factors of instability. The Da’an New Dynasty could accept them, but they needed to observe them first.

As for the Spirit Continuation Blood Refining Skill, it was strictly prohibited from being practiced in Da’an.

How these Divine Sun Sect followers used to practice in the past may be overlooked by the Da’an New Dynasty, but they absolutely cannot continue the Spirit Continuation Blood Refining Skill.

Two years is considered a probationary period; as long as they can give up the Spirit Continuation Blood Refining Skill during this time, they can become the Secret Martial Guards of Da’an.

”That works too! I’ve already discussed with them, and they will definitely not practice the Spirit Continuation Blood Refining Skill anymore!” Lv Hua had no objections to this.

Yu Tonghai nodded, then glanced at those Divine Sun Sect followers.

Since these Divine Sun Sect followers are willing to follow Lv Hua in betraying the Divine Sun Sect, it indicates they themselves are unwilling to cultivate through evil means.

”Let’s go, let’s talk as we return!”
