Ouyang Shuo returned to the manor, where Qing'er had been waiting for him.

”Big brother!”

Qing'er's eyes were flushed red; it looked like she had just cried.

Ouyang Shuo frowned and expressionlessly said, ”Wang Feng rejected it?”

”He's just a stubborn bull!”

During these past few days, Qing'er had bumped into many walls with Wang Feng, and the outcome was unideal. Wang Feng's pride was extremely strong. No matter what Qing'er said, he would not agree to the wedding because of his arm.

”What can I do?” Ouyang Shuo asked.

Ouyang Shuo definitely could not use his identity as the Monarch to force Wang Feng into agreeing with this marriage. Not to mention it would leave a sour taste, but it would be a blow to the prestige of the Governor-General House.

As a Monarch, Ouyang Shuo had to consider the effects.

Qing'er raised a surprising proposal, ”Big brother, can you temporarily remove him from his duties and send him to Dongli Sword Sect to cultivate?”

”You gave up?”

”No.” Qing'er shook her head, her eyes determined, ”I also found that with his temper, if he is not treated, no matter what I try will be useless. I will wait; wait for the day that he finally stands up.”

”Good, that's great!”

Ouyang Shuo looked at the girl in front of him; he was filled with thoughts.

The magic of love could cloud one's mind but could also make one grow quickly.

”I'll arrange this matter.” Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate.

”Thank you, big brother!”

Qing'er bowed. She noticed that Ouyang Shuo was a little tired, so she did not disturb him and left.

In the next half a month, the Battle of Lingnan proceeded smoothly.

The Battle of White Stone City shocked the entire China region. Shanhai City's lightning quick moves ended the Battle of Lingnan before other people with intentions could act.

Amongst which included King City.

Xiong Ba had already made plans to send reinforcements. However, when he learned that White Stone City had fallen, he immediately canceled that thought. Instead, he planned to turn all his attention to Xunlong Dianxue.

Caiyun City was the next one to back down. As Du Ruhui had expected, the moment they knew about what happened to White Stone City, the Alliance Army that Caiyun Zinan had gathered immediately retreated from Shaozhou Prefecture.

Following which, they strengthened the border troops.

The entire China region was respectfully looking at Shanhai City rise up once again. In less than a month, they had taken down half a province.

Along with the various powers retreating, the Guards Legion, City Protection Legion, Dragon Legion Corps 2nd legion and the two legions from the Tiger Legion, a total of 350 thousand troops started to spread out and sweep the three prefectures.

No place was left out in the three prefectures.

As the battle came to an end, the Nanjiang Governor-General was prepared to move a large number of officials to take over the city, calming down the people and reinstating order.

For this expansion, the Nanjiang Governor-General House prepared for half a year, gathering many officials to wait for this battle to end.

Shanhai City, Nanjiang Governor-General House.

Within the reading room, Ouyang Shuo gathered the four directors to discuss the arrangements of governor for the three prefectures.

The Zhenhai City City Magistrate Song Wen would become the Governor of Jiaozhou Prefecture.

No one had any objections about this personnel arrangement. First, Song Wen's achievements at Zhenhai City were there for everyone to see. Secondly, Zhenhai City was still under his name. To maintain the teleportation formation, he could not leave Zhenhai City and Jiaozhou Prefecture.

This time, Song Wen was truly lucky.

Jiaozhou Prefecture was not only the biggest prefecture in Lingnan Province. Even in the entire Shanhai Territory, it was one of the biggest prefectures, even exceeding Kunming Prefecture.

Furthermore, the geographical location of Jiaozhou Prefecture was great, connected with rivers and possessing a natural port. It had many natural resources and a dense population, truly the heart of Lingnan.

If it was not because of Zhenhai City, no matter how capable Song Wen was, he would not be promoted to such a position.

Apart from Jiaozhou Prefecture, there was also Chaozhou and Shaozhou prefectures. Based on the intel, they did not find any exceptional officials when occupying the various prefectures.

At most, they possessed a little skill and could become a prefect.

Hence, the three governors must all be provided by the Nanjiang Governor-General House.
