After a full three days, they finally settled all the 'administrative matters' left behind by the previous two emperors. Only then did they let out a long sigh of relief.
Following which, it was Ling Tian's turn to be anxious. What was there to be anxious about? Give birth to a son! With the next generation, there would be hope for their current difficult lives!
However, it wasn't a simple matter for them to have a son. First, they had to prepare for the wedding. As such, another wave of excitement began. This time, they had to prepare for it with great fanfare. Ling Tian's ascension ceremony could be considered rushed. However, the wedding this time couldn't be rushed no matter what.
The wedding date was set to be half a year later, on the 5th of the ninth month.
As the emperor, the wedding date had to be chosen at this time.
After the date was set, the ladies were brought back to their respective cities. As the journey to Heavenly Wind was too far, Shui ManKong decided to settle down in the Shui Family Courtyard in Sky Bearing. Xiao family brought Xiao YanXue back to Sky Bearing and the Ling family brought back three of their daughters: Ling Chen, Li Xue, and Princess JiaoYue.
Mmm, sending the dowry from their own family before coming back to marry their own son …
As for Yu BingYan, Yu ManLou sent Yu ManTian over to bring her back.
At the same time, Ling Tian announced to the world that Ling Jian would be conferred the title of Divine Sword Duke, the first Duke of the Divine Prefecture Empire! Furthermore, Ling Jian and Xiao YouHan were to be married. The wedding date was set to be the same day as Ling Tian's wedding!
Because of this matter, the civil and military officials were in an uproar, saying that it was against the rules. Tens of white-bearded officials knelt down and begged Ling Tian to retract his decree.
Helpless, Ling Tian could only set Ling Jian's wedding date to the 19th of the ninth month!
Within the Divine Prefecture Empire, it was filled with jubilation. Under the situation where all taxes were waived, the agriculture, industry, and commerce developed rapidly. In just a few short months, the Divine Prefecture Empire was already flourishing.
After the Divine Prefecture Empire's army rested and reorganized, they began to march towards the northwest from the southeast.
The battle that would decide the continent would be in the northwest!
The Ling family and the Tamago family, these two giants who were in-laws, would definitely have a battle!
Everyone was waiting to see what would happen!
After this battle, no matter who won or lost, the world would be at peace for the time being! If the Ling family's Divine Prefecture Empire won, this peace could last for decades or even centuries …
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye!
Tamago.
In the past, Yu ManTang had led his army to the Moon Deity Empire and returned victorious. After losing the Lei Family, the Moon Deity Empire was like a toothless tiger, completely unable to resist the attacks of the Tamago Empire. After barely holding on for less than a hundred days, the Moon Deity Empire no longer existed in the world. The land of the Moon Deity Empire was incorporated into the territory of the Tamago Empire and the Moon Deity Empire became a historical name.
Yu ManTang, who had returned victorious, did not have the slightest bit of joy on his face. Those who were familiar with him knew that ever since he left Bright Jade City with his army, Yu ManTang had the same gloomy expression on his face. Even when the army achieved a complete victory on the battlefield and the morale of the army was high, his expression did not change in the slightest.
It was as if there was something heavy weighing down on his heart. It was as heavy as a mountain, and it was difficult to get rid of it!
In truth, ever since Yu ManTang returned from the Heavenly Wind Continent, he had been like this with a heavy burden on his heart.
Only when he returned to Bright Jade City and saw his daughter again and heard the good news of his daughter's marriage did Yu ManTang's gloomy face finally reveal a trace of joy. That was a joy that came from the bottom of his heart. The moment Yu ManTang found out about this matter, he immediately went to look for Yu ManLou.
"Big brother, I don't wish for any accidents to happen to BingYan's marriage." When Yu ManTang saw Yu ManLou, this was the first thing he said. His expression was calm but his attitude was resolute, "This is the most important thing in BingYan's life and it is also the happiest thing that she has ever dreamt of. I hope that she can marry him happily and without any accidents. "
Yu ManLou, who was busy at his desk, paused for a moment before raising his head with a sharp gaze, "BingYan is my most beloved niece and her marriage is naturally a joyous occasion. I naturally hope that there won't be any accidents. I wonder what second brother means by that? Please enlighten me! "
Yu ManTang snorted coldly and turned to look out of the window. After a long while, he finally said, "The four elders of Zhai Xing Lou are already dead. I was the one who killed them!" As he said that, he walked out of the Imperial Study without saying another word or turning his head back.
Yu ManLou snorted coldly and his sharp gaze turned sinister. With a 'pa' sound, the brush in his hand shattered into pieces.
The Great Elder appeared behind him without a sound. "Your Majesty."
Yu ManLou stood up and placed his hands behind his back. He looked at the First Elder indifferently and walked to the window without saying a word.
"The four brothers were all killed by Second Master." The First Elder stuttered and said with difficulty, "Furthermore, Second Master and Third Master led their men to Zhai Xing Lou … I'm afraid …"
Yu ManLou looked out of the window expressionlessly. After a long while, he let out a long breath and said calmly, "Forget it!" He then turned around and said calmly, "Order people to prepare for Princess Ming Yu's marriage. As the first princess of our dynasty to be married, the dowry must be generous. Don't do anything else and no one is to interfere in this matter! "
"Yes." The First Elder bowed and left the room.
Yu ManLou stood in front of the window for a long time without moving. His imposing figure seemed somewhat aloof, but also somewhat bleak.
A gust of wind blew past the window and a few yellow leaves fell from the trees in front of Yu ManLou's eyes.
As the wind blew in, the papers on the table fluttered. A piece of paper floated up and landed on the table. On the paper, a few lines of words could be seen:
"Yan County has sent 200,000 troops to advance 30 miles north.
In front of Mourning Soul Mountain, 300,000 elite troops of the Ling family have entered the valley.
In the northeast, DongFang JingLei personally led 200,000 elite troops to the border.
In the south, Yu ChengLong led 300,000 troops to set up camp 15 miles northwest of Yan County.
In the southeast, Xiao FengYang led 600,000 troops of the Xiao family to advance towards Yan County!
Note: The number one assassin in the world, the Pavilion Head of the First Pavilion, has finally revealed himself. He is Ling Tian's number one subordinate, Ling Jian! The First Pavilion belongs to Ling Tian without a doubt. Ling Jian has been bestowed the title of 'Divine Sword Duke'.
The Above Heavens of the Southeast of the Three Hidden Sects was ambushed by Ling Tian and was completely wiped out! Including Sect Head Meng FanYun, none of the Above Heavens managed to escape. It is said that the Martial Order Medallion owner of Beyond Heavens, Justice, took part in this battle!
… "
The news came one after another and to Yu ManLou, they were all bad news!
Just the number of troops at the border was close to 2 million!
This was a clear signal that Ling Tian was giving to him: After his wedding, this gamble to determine the future of the secular world would begin!
"2 million troops, assassins from the First Pavilion, Xiao family's allegiance, Ling Tian ah Ling Tian, you are really generous! In just a few years, your strength has actually grown so much! "Yu ManLou mumbled. "The five-year agreement, the gamble of the world! Is the gambling table about to be opened? "
Yu ManLou's face was dark as he slowly turned around, as though he was talking to the air, "Pull back the defensive line and recruit more troops. Gather all our troops towards Yan County and abandon the other areas! If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move! "
"Gambling with the world is undoubtedly heroic, but to accomplish the task in one go, it is a step further! Ling Tian, let me accompany you in writing this history of the past and present! Let's see who will have the last laugh! You and I will rise and fall! "
September of the golden autumn! The fifth day of the new year!
In the most spacious plaza in Sky Bearing, the Emperor of the Divine Prefecture Country, Ling Tian held an unprecedentedly grand wedding! He married six brides at the same time.
According to the rules of etiquette, Ling Tian as the monarch and Ling Chen as the empress had no reason to hold a wedding with the others. However, Ling Tian still insisted on it. He gave a clear hint to all his women: As my women, I will treat all of you equally. Whether it was the Empress or the Imperial Consort, it was just a name. In my heart, all six of you are the same.
The north gate opened! Nine cannon salutes sounded!
Three thousand Tamago soldiers were dressed in red and full of joy as they escorted a luxurious carriage over. Sixteen snow-white horses were draped in bright red satin. Yu BingYan was dressed splendidly. She sat upright in the carriage, looking graceful as she came from the north.
At the front of the procession, the scholarly Second Master of Tamago, Yu ManTang, had a flushed face as he cupped his fists towards the crowd to express his gratitude. Beside him, the seemingly 'scholarly' Third Master of Tamago, Yu ManTian, sat on his horse with his belly protruding. Such a majestic horse was almost pressed down by Yu ManTian's burly body to the point of having difficulty moving. Dressed in a red ceremonial robe, Yu ManTian's face was as dazzling as charcoal.
Yu ManTian and Yu ManTian personally escorting the bride was a clear indication of the importance Tamago placed on this marriage. Regardless of what would happen to the two families in the future, at least for now, they seemed to be on good terms.
At the same time …
The east gate opened and the Xiao family escorting the bride walked in. While the Xiao family had already become a thing of the past, their name as a financial magnate still existed. The extravagance of their escorts was comparable to that of an empire in Tamago.
Outside the west gate, the Shui Family, which was also one of the top families in the world, escorted their little princess, Shui QianRou, who had a red veil over her head. The Family Head of the Shui Family, Shui ManKong, and all the important figures under him were present.
However, the center of Sky Bearing was even more bustling.
All of a sudden, a colorful rain covered the entire Sky Bearing City.
The gates of the Ling Residence opened wide, and three extremely exquisite sedan chairs were carried out side by side. Looking around, within each sedan chair was a graceful and charming figure that could be faintly seen.
An empress and two imperial concubines were about to walk out from the Ling family!
Waves of cheers rang out one after another.
Ling Jian's face was filled with joy as he ran back and forth. His usual icy cold expression had long disappeared. To him and his 54 brothers, today was a joyous day!
