With a reputation of 70,000, one leader travels across countless worlds with his adventure team.

Returning to Qiao Feng's side, Qiao Feng, along with his father Xiao Yuanshan and his lover A Zhu, returned to Misty Peak of Tianshan with the disciples of Lingjiu Palace, and accommodations were arranged for Qiao Feng's family.

After Qiao Feng and A'Zhu settled into their lodgings, they took out the letter Bai Ze had given them and began to read it. In the letter, Bai Ze expressed his wishes to Qiao Feng: to unite the three warring kingdoms so that the endless wars that would cause Qiao Feng's family to suffer the same fate would no longer occur.

After Qiao Feng set off for Tianshan, Bai Ze also led his men towards the Liao Kingdom. He didn't want his elder brother Qiao Feng to know about this beforehand, as he didn't want Qiao Feng to be caught in a dilemma. Born a Khitan but raised in the Song Dynasty, if Qiao Feng knew Bai Ze's intentions, it would be really difficult to handle the situation.

Now that the matter is settled, Qiao Feng can't change anything, so he naturally won't dwell on the matter between the Song and Liao dynasties.

After reading the letter, Qiao Feng sat in the room for a long time without saying a word. A'Zhu looked at the silent Qiao Feng, walked over and sat down next to him, holding his arm and looking at him with a questioning gaze.

Qiao Feng looked at A'Zhu, whose eyes were full of questions, and thought of what Bai Ze had done for his family before. On his way to Tianshan, Qiao Feng also learned from his father about the first time Bai Ze stopped the Qiao family couple from killing someone at Shaoshi Mountain.

Qiao Feng thought of helping A'Zhu find her younger sister and A'Zhu's parents, and finally felt relieved. If he really went to the Liao Kingdom, he would not have a good ending no matter which side he helped.

His good brother Bai Ze had told him to leave the Song Dynasty early and send his family to Tianshan. Perhaps this was the best choice for Qiao Feng's family. Qiao Feng reached out and touched A'Zhu's face, saying:

"We've really made a good brother and brother-in-law!"

A'Zhu was confused by Qiao Feng's words and asked in return:

"What good brother, good brother-in-law? Second uncle?"

Qiao Feng said with a smile:

"Yes, after he sent our family to Tianshan, he summoned the heroes of the Song Dynasty to head north to Liao Kingdom to launch a decapitation operation, eliminate the Liao Kingdom's high-ranking officials, and help the Song Dynasty reclaim its lost territory. By sending us to Tianshan ahead of time, he allowed us to leave that place of conflict and also gave me one less option."

A'Zhu also understood what Bai Ze had done after they left the Song Dynasty, and she was very surprised, saying:

"I never expected my second uncle to have such courage; what a brilliant move!"

The two chatted intimately before going back to bed to rest.

 …

After saving Emperor Zhezong's life, Bai Ze was arranged by the emperor to stay at the residence of one of the deceased princes in Kaifeng, Tokyo. Since Bai Ze was also waiting for the women who had not yet returned, he decided to stay there with Raphael.

Three days later, the women, who had leisurely traveled and enjoyed the scenery, returned to Kaifeng. Bai Ze used telepathy to tell them to come directly to the palace, so they could have a good time in Kaifeng. Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was a famous historical city, and it would be a waste not to have some fun.

For a while afterward, Bai Ze spent his days eating, drinking, and having fun in Kaifeng with the women. At night, he would grab a few women and sleep with them in the same bed, sometimes two or three. The large bed in the palace was really useful. No matter how Bai Ze played with it, he didn't hear any noise. Bai Ze even thought of putting the large bed into his backpack before he left!

In the autumn of the second year of Yuanfu (1099), Emperor Zhezong Zhao Xu broke with precedent and, despite pressure from civil officials, welcomed the returning army from the Northern Expedition outside the capital, and issued a series of orders in the court.

The emperor issued a new imperial edict recalling all the former party members, including Lü Gongzhuo, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Lü Dafang, and Liu Zhi, who had previously been demoted or exiled, and ordered them to go north to the newly recovered prefectures of the Song Dynasty to carry out their work.

Then, in the imperial court, Emperor Zhezong proposed a new idea: to bestow the title of king upon Bai Ze!

After Bai Ze cured Emperor Zhezong and Zhang Jie led the army north, he told Emperor Zhezong about the Western Xia. He said that after the Liao Dynasty was settled, Bai Ze would go west again to help the Song Dynasty recover the former territory of Western Xia. Emperor Zhezong was overjoyed to hear this.

Later, Emperor Zhezong told Chancellor Zhang Dun and a group of high-ranking officials about this matter, so everyone was aware of it. Now that Emperor Zhezong has brought this up in court, most of the opposition comes from the censors who are unaware of the facts. The Court of Imperial Clan Affairs had received Emperor Zhezong's message in advance and did not raise any objections.

Prime Minister Zhang Dun finally proposed giving Bai Ze the title of "King of Zhenbei," with the fiefdom tentatively set (because most of the northern region had not yet been completely cleared). Upon his return, Zhang Jie also stood up to support his brother's proposal.

After considering it for a while, Emperor Zhezong agreed to Zhang Dun's suggestion and ordered the various temples and academies under his command to prepare for the matters before the investiture of the king. After Emperor Zhezong explained the investiture to Bai Ze, the official announcement would be made to the whole country.

The next morning, while Bai Ze was still cuddling with Xiao Meng, Celine burst into the room and said to Bai Ze:

"Master, get up quickly! Someone from the palace has arrived! They say the Emperor wants to see you!"

Bai Ze hadn't even withdrawn from Xiao Meng's grasp yet, and Daenerys was also being held hostage by Bai Ze. Celine's sudden intrusion startled Bai Ze.

Bai Ze was also extremely embarrassed and said to Celine:

"My dear Celine, remember to knock before entering your sisters' rooms in the future."

Celine stuck her tongue out at Bai Ze and said:

"Hehehe, Master, you're so shameless! It's already morning and you're still playing. Get up quickly, that strange-voiced old man is waiting for you in the front yard!"

After saying that, Celine took the basin from inside the room to get water for washing up, and Bai Ze quickly separated from her to dry himself and find clothes.

When Celine returned to the house with two maids from the manor, Bai Ze and the other two were already dressed and washed up. Bai Ze told the women to go eat breakfast first, and then went to the front yard to meet the people from the palace.

Bai Ze arrived at the front courtyard and found that the eunuch Wang who had been present when he treated Emperor Zhezong was waiting in the main hall. Bai Ze smiled and said:

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, sir. I'm used to a carefree life in the martial world and don't have the habit of getting up early. Please forgive me."

Eunuch Wang smiled like Maitreya Buddha and said:

"It's alright, it's alright~ His Majesty didn't say anything about rushing to see me, he just said that Young Master Bai only needs to go to the palace today. Ever since Young Master Bai's immortal partner used those divine methods, His Majesty's health is now incredibly strong, and even I walk like the wind. I should thank Young Master Bai."

Bai Ze didn't waste any more time and said that it was fine now. Eunuch Wang led Bai Ze into the palace in a carriage from the palace.

Emperor Zhezong was dealing with state affairs when he heard a report from outside that Bai Ze had arrived. Zhezong ordered him to come in, and Bai Ze followed Eunuch Wang into the main hall where Zhezong was handling state affairs. He beckoned the palace maids and eunuchs around him to move away from the hall, leaving only himself to stand at the door and wait.

Emperor Zhezong asked Bai Ze to sit down by himself, and said with a smile:

"Young Master Bai, most of the Liao Kingdom's territory has already been annexed by the Song Dynasty. We can discuss the matter of Western Xia when you return. Now, there's something I want to tell you. I've discussed it with my court officials, and we'd like to bestow upon you the title of Prince Zhenbei. What do you think?"

Originally, Emperor Zhezong intended to arrange everything and then directly assign the Prince of Zhenbei to Bai Ze. However, considering Bai Ze's identity as a chivalrous knight-errant and his methods of healing him, as well as the flying dragon that everyone mentioned!

Such unrestrained people generally do not like to have contact with the imperial court or government, so Emperor Zhezong did not directly bestow the title of Prince of Zhenbei upon Bai Ze, but asked about it in advance.

After hearing Zhezong's arrangement, Bai Ze stroked his chin and said:

"I understand His Majesty's good intentions, but I don't know if His Majesty wants me to fulfill the duties of a prince. If I'm just a prince in name only, I have no objection. But if I have to fight for the court and defend the territory, that's too troublesome. I think I'd better not."

After hearing Bai Ze's words, Emperor Zhezong felt reassured. His earlier suspicions were indeed correct; a person of such extraordinary power would disdain being bound by dynastic positions and officialdom. Emperor Zhezong smiled and said to Bai Ze:

"There won't be that much trouble. Those civil officials who spout grand theories won't give you too much power. This title of Prince of Zhenbei is just to show your contributions to the court and to reward you for healing my body."

I was discussing your fiefdom with the Grand Chancellor before. Since you find it troublesome, then we'll waive the fiefdom altogether. We'll give you plenty of gold, silver, and other valuables. Your identity is valid throughout the Song Dynasty; it's recognized nationwide. Is that acceptable?

Bai Ze was delighted upon hearing Zhezong's words. It was just a title, no trouble, and he could use his identity to avoid problems when traveling in the future. Being a prince seemed pretty good. Bai Ze then cupped his hands in greeting to Zhezong and said:

"Then I thank Your Majesty for your kindness to this humble subject. I will accept the title of Prince of Zhenbei. Afterwards, I will travel west to Western Xia. When the matter of Western Xia is settled and the land is unified, Your Majesty will complete the task that Emperor Taizu failed to accomplish, and the Song Dynasty will be able to regain the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

After hearing Bai Ze's words, Emperor Zhezong smiled happily. He was able to complete the work that Emperor Taizu had failed to do in his own reign, and continue to expand the territory. After his death, he could look up to Emperor Taizu and tell him about his achievements.

Afterwards, Emperor Zhezong and Bai Ze agreed on the time for the investiture ceremony. Then, he had the eunuch escort Bai Ze back to the royal residence that had been bestowed upon him. From then on, this royal residence was named "Zhenbei Prince's Residence"!

After returning home, Bai Ze told the women about the honors bestowed upon him by Emperor Zhezong. The women were happy for Bai Ze, knowing that he would be able to be called "Prince Bai" wherever he went!

(Giao~ Red Dog became White King, and White Hand said this is so rivery~)

 …

Three days later, the investiture ceremony was held. Emperor Zhezong announced to the world that, in order to reward Bai Ze for his series of merits to the Song Dynasty, Bai Ze was hereby granted the title of Prince of Zhenbei. Bai Ze was free to use his royal power in various parts of the Song Dynasty, as long as he did not commit any crimes and the local governments reported him normally.

Emperor Zhezong also told the officials present that Bai Ze did not want a fief or duties. This silenced those who were planning to cause trouble. He didn't want a fief and was going to live a carefree life. What more could you want?

What do you need a bicycle for?

With everything settled, Bai Ze knelt to accept his reward, and the nameless royal residence in the city was subsequently renamed the 'Zhenbei King's Mansion'.

The news that the young master Bai of the Xiaoyao Sect had become the Prince of Zhenbei of the Song Dynasty spread throughout the martial arts world that very day. The martial arts practitioners all felt that this was what the imperial court should do, as he had helped the Song Dynasty take down the Liao Kingdom without lifting a finger. Some people felt that this reward was too little.

A few days later, several dragon roars echoed from the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, which was famous in both the martial arts world and the imperial court. People in Kaifeng, Tokyo, saw three strange dragons—one black, one green, and one white—shining with magnificent scales in the sunlight, carrying the Prince of Zhenbei and his entourage as they flew away into the sky.

Even Emperor Zhezong, who got a clear view from the palace, was drooling with envy. Although it wasn't the traditional Chinese dragon, who would dare say anything bad about it being able to fly?

That's flying!

Emperor Zhezong thought to himself, "When the Prince of Zhenbei returns from Western Xia next time, I wonder if I can ride a dragon to the sky and see it for myself."

Having had his fill of fun in Kaifeng, Bai Ze didn't forget about the Western Xia. After leaving Kaifeng on his dragon, he first returned to Leigu Mountain to pay his respects to his master and uncles. After that, Bai Ze asked the women if any of them wanted to go with him to Western Xia to reclaim lost territory and continue their adventure. However, all the women who had already been to Liao Kingdom shook their heads.

Xiaomeng and Wang Yuyan both said they had had enough fun and didn't want to watch any more fighting and killing. They wanted to visit the Tianshan Lingjiu Palace, the home of their grandmaster, Tonglao Wuxingyun. Azi also wanted to visit her sister and brother-in-law.

All the women agreed. Bai Ze, seeing that he was about to become all alone, grabbed Tifa and Mu Wanqing and wouldn't let them leave. He shamelessly begged the two of them to come with him to Xixia, otherwise he would be bored to death.

Finally, the group split into two at Leigu Mountain. Bai Ze, along with Tifa and Mu Wanqing, rode Viserion to Xixia to find their master's wife, Li Qiushui, and take over Xixia. Wu Yazi and Wu Xingyun, along with the female riders Zhuo Geng and Lei Ge, went to Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak of Tianshan Mountain. The group from Lingjiu Palace at Leigu Mountain followed behind and slowly returned to the mountain.

Bai Ze, along with Tifa and Mu Wanqing, rode Viserion and arrived at Xingqing Prefecture in Xixia in two days, where they waited for their master's wife, Li Qiushui, at the place she had arranged in advance.

After returning to Western Xia, Li Qiushui quickly sent her adopted son, Li Liangzuo, to meet his father. After Bai Ze destroyed the Liao Dynasty, she explained to several powerful families in Western Xia that she wanted to marry her granddaughter, Li Qinglu, to Bai Ze and make him the emperor of Western Xia.

The Western Xia nobles present were all opposed, except for a few families who were completely subservient to Li Qiushui. Not long after, one night, the families who opposed Bai Ze becoming the emperor of Western Xia secretly gathered to kill the Empress Dowager Li Qiushui and return Western Xia to the hands of the Western Xia people.

Li Qiushui, with her extraordinary skills, had already prepared a poison and placed it in the drinks of everyone at the gathering. Halfway through the secret meeting of several families, everyone who drank the drinks on the table was poisoned.

Immediately, everyone present went berserk, picked up knives and started hacking at each other, one chopping at my melon, another cutting at your leg.

Before long, everyone present was dead. Li Qiushui received the news and announced that several major families were preparing to rebel, but they turned against each other over the division of spoils and all died at the gathering.

Now, those who held real power and influence in the newly appointed government were all people arranged by Li Qiushui. A few days later, the news that Bai Ze had been enfeoffed as the Prince of Zhenbei in the Song Dynasty reached Western Xia. At this point, the voices opposing Li Qinglu's marriage to Bai Ze disappeared, along with a group of staunchly loyal troops of the Western Xia Tangut people.

After resting for a day at the place arranged by his master's wife, Li Qiushui, Bai Ze was found by Li Qiushui, who then took Bai Ze and the two women directly into the Western Xia Imperial Palace, where they enjoyed a meal of "Jiao~gei" (a local specialty) from the Northwest.

That evening, Li Qiushui arranged for Bai Ze to meet Li Qinglu, and Bai Ze also met the 'Dream Girl' that Xu Zhu in the drama longed for day and night.

Li Qinglu's beauty is not as gentle as that of the beauties of the Southern Song Dynasty. She has her own ethnic characteristics and the genes of Li Qiushui. Li Qinglu's beauty is very distinctive, which makes Bai Ze really fall in love with her.

At the same time, Li Qinglu was also observing the recently famous "Prince Zhenbei" of the Great Song Dynasty, whose fame had spread throughout Western Xia. Li Qinglu looked at Bai Ze's white hair, which was not as withered as an old man's, but rather white and spirited, which set off Bai Ze's handsome face, giving people a feeling that they could not take their eyes off him.

The girl from Northwest China was bold and straightforward, and Li Qinglu asked directly:

"Will Prince Bai be my husband from now on? I heard from my grandmother that you are her junior apprentice."

Bai Ze was also very interested in this little princess of Xixia. The two talked about their master and mistress, the Xiaoyao Sect, the martial arts world, and the Xixia Yipintang. Only then did the little princess Li Qinglu realize that Bai Ze had killed almost all the masters of Yipintang.

The two then talked about Bai Ze's kung fu. Unbeknownst to Li Qinglu, she was sitting closer and closer to Bai Ze. By the time Bai Ze was talking about how he killed Duan Yanqing, Li Qinglu had already grabbed Bai Ze's sleeves with both hands.

Seeing the little princess so excited listening to the story that her nose was starting to sweat, Bai Ze naturally put his arm around Li Qinglu's slender waist and whispered in her ear:

"Did your grandmother tell you what you're going to do tonight?"

Li Qinglu, with Bai Ze's arm around her waist, understood what was happening. She rested her head against her breasts and whispered in a barely audible voice:

"Grandma... let... let me be your... daughter-in-law."

Bai Ze also teased him on purpose:

"Do you know what a wife is supposed to do?"

Li Qinglu kept her head down, humming softly without saying a word. Bai Ze suddenly swept her up in his arms. The little princess was startled, but quickly recovered, wrapping her arms around Bai Ze's neck and whispering:

"What...what are you going to do?"

Bai Ze lowered his head and kissed Li Qinglu's thin lips. Li Qinglu's eyes widened instantly, and she kicked her cute little legs, but within seconds she hugged Bai Ze even tighter.

Bai Ze first sampled it, then looked at Li Qinglu, who was already waiting to be received, and said with a grin:

"Today, your husband will teach you what it means to be a wife..."

Bai Ze then carried Li Qinglu into the house. The red candles on the table crackled, the insects on the eaves felt the swaying, and the bright moon was obscured by two thin clouds. The wolves of the Northwest howled and ran across the wasteland.
