Golden Island, City Leader's Mansion
The garden was built according to the style of the dynasty. Pei Zi Yun's understanding of the garden was very precise. There were many strange rocks in the garden, and there were many lotus leaves in the pond. The sounds of frogs croaking could be heard.
Pei Zi Yun and the Canton Princess strolled around the garden. Just as they walked past the west corridor, the Canton Princess said, "Husband, I've been working on a new song."
"Eh? The name sounds good. I didn't expect Qianye to be so busy these few days. " Pei Zi Yun laughed as he ran his fingers through her hair. When the Canton Princess heard this, she couldn't help but laugh as well, "It's all thanks to the conversation I had with you, that I was enlightened."
"There's a pavilion in front. I've already ordered my men to prepare a zither for you to play." As the Canton Princess spoke, the two of them were about to enter the pavilion. At this point, a serving maid rushed over, her face was filled with anxiety. She then said, "Master, Canton Princess, the imperial court has sent an Imperial Envoy for you to receive the imperial edict. The Imperial Envoy will be here soon."
"Ah!" The Canton Princess was shocked. She was somewhat disappointed and nervous, "Could it be that there's something good for you?"
The Canton Princess asked suspiciously.
"Let's go, let's go see the Imperial Envoy. We can't avoid this." Pei Zi Yun said as his eyes flashed coldly.
The island wasn't big, and they arrived at the pier in no time. Pei Zi Yun and the Canton Princess welcomed them.
Incense sticks were placed on the table as the Imperial Envoy's boat sailed towards them. There was a dragon flag on the boat as it neared the shore. Soldiers stood guard on both sides of the boat.
"The Imperial Envoy's boat."
Before the boat had even neared them, they could hear people shouting from the watchtower. Gao Guang stood on the boat and could see the crowd. At this point, a eunuch approached Gao Guang and whispered, "Eunuch, if True Sovereign follows us into the capital city, you will have done a great deed. You will be greatly rewarded."
"Haha!" When Gao Guang heard this, he caressed his ring and laughed coldly, "Don't speak nonsense when you go out. If not, hehe …."
His words were filled with coldness. When the eunuch heard this, his face fell as he hurriedly replied, "I wouldn't dare."
"We've arrived."
A moment later the boat arrived at the pier. Someone shouted, "The imperial envoy has arrived! Zhenjun, please receive the imperial edict."
The Imperial Envoy disembarked from the ship. Pei Zi Yun gave some instructions as the drums started to play. He then led his men to welcome him, "Your subject Pei Zi Yun, respectfully greets the Emperor!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Gao Guang disembarked from the boat and stepped forward, "King Lu has urgent matters to attend to. True Sovereign, please return to the capital as soon as possible. His Majesty has summoned you."
"True Monarch, this is an urgent matter. Please follow me back to the capital."
Gao Guang tried to pull Pei Zi Yun away. Pei Zi Yun moved slightly, and managed to free himself from Gao Guang's grip. He suddenly felt uneasy, and scolded, "Gao Guang, as the Imperial Envoy, how can you be so impatient? This is a great disrespect to the imperial court. Why don't you quickly tidy up your clothes and prepare to announce the decree? "
Gao Guang was thrown into a daze. According to the plan, he had to catch Pei Zi Yun off guard. As long as he was on the boat, how could he refuse to enter the capital. Pei Zi Yun didn't accept the decree, and instead reprimanded him. After some time, he finally calmed down and forced a smile, "Then I shall announce the decree. True Sovereign, you should know that the war ahead is urgent."
"You can announce the decree."
Pei Zi Yun looked at him and gently brushed the dust off his clothes before smiling.
"True Sovereign Pei, Princess, please receive the decree. The Emperor has decreed …."
It was an urgent summon for Pei Zi Yun to return to the capital. Following which, he handed out gifts to the Canton Princess. He then spoke in a low voice, "True Sovereign, Princess, this time there are many gifts from the Grand Princess. However, His Majesty has summoned …."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Pei Zi Yun, "You took a boat and rushed all the way here. It must have been tough on you."
"Not at all, the imperial court …."
"I've been in charge of the frontlines before, and know that generals like to exaggerate matters. When it's not urgent, they make it sound like they're in a hurry. In fact, even if they wait for a few months, nothing will happen."
"Don't be anxious. Men, bring the Imperial Envoy to rest."
Pei Zi Yun waved his hands, and someone came forward to serve him. Seeing that Pei Zi Yun didn't respond, Gao Guang felt helpless. He thought to himself, trying to persuade Pei Zi Yun again. His heart was filled with worry. Did Pei Zi Yun find out about something?
The assistant butler introduced the Grand Princess' gifts to the Canton Princess. The Canton Princess was overjoyed when she heard this. Her eyes turned red. The butler then walked up and handed him a list, "True Sovereign, the gifts are all inside. Take a look."
Pei Zi Yun was about to receive the list when he saw the butler pass him a piece of paper. The assistant butler then said, "The Canton Princess sends her regards to True Sovereign."
As he finished speaking, he pretended that nothing had happened and waited by the side.
Pei Zi Yun paused before smiling, "Alright, you may leave."
"Yes, True Sovereign."
The butler then retreated respectfully. Pei Zi Yun looked at the Canton Princess, who was overjoyed, "Husband, mother still misses us. My brother also misses us."
Seeing how happy the Canton Princess was, Pei Zi Yun stretched out his hand and placed it on the tip of her nose, "Of course. You're my mother-in-law's precious darling. Of course she misses you."
Seeing how happy the Canton Princess was, Pei Zi Yun's expression turned gloomy. He didn't say anything and just accompanied the Canton Princess back to her room. He then opened up the piece of paper and read it. There were only four words written on it, "Cast a net to catch fish."
"Eh?"
Pei Zi Yun's heart sank when he saw this. Prefecture Prince Cheng Shun had sent him a message. Coupled with the fact that Gao Guang was in a hurry, the fog in his heart was lifted, 'Could it be that he wants to make a move?'
Pei Zi Yun's heart turned cold as he silently calculated. His fingertips glowed brightly, as spots of light started to swirl around him. Within moments, he saw a green Qi descending from the sky.
'An Earth Immortal Projection is considered a good sign. However, if I were to target an Earth Immortal Projection, I'm afraid I might be able to deceive him.' Pei Zi Yun muttered to himself as he frowned and stretched out his hand. The Plum Blossom moved as a spot of light appeared. Within moments, the Plum Blossom stopped. Pei Zi Yun took a look and saw that it was an ominous sign.
"Hmph!" Pei Zi Yun snorted coldly and said, "No wonder they want me to enter the capital. I'm afraid the Imperial Court and the Dragon Veins are about to make their move. If not for the Plum Blossom, I would have been deceived by the Imperial Court. I would have lost track of the Heavenly Fate and would have thought that the Imperial Court was looking out for me. Who knows, I might have entered the capital and paid my respects to the Emperor.
'I'm not strong enough yet. I still need to level up. At the very least, I need to have an indestructible body. That way, it would be difficult to kill them.' As he spoke, he calmed himself down and scanned the area with his divine sense. Within the space, he could see that the Spiritual Qi was thick and it had expanded significantly. A part of the palace was revealed, and it had a dignified aura. There were even shadows of beasts floating above the palace, shining brightly.
'Could it be that the palace has its own secrets?'
With a thought, Pei Zi Yun tried to open the palace. Seeing that it was locked, he laughed, 'I can't open it. It's only a matter of time before I open it. I have a feeling that this palace will be of great use in the future.'
Without looking any further, Pei Zi Yun looked elsewhere. In the center of the palace, the Demonic Emperor's statue was constantly being slashed by the spatial spiritual wind. Every time a knife slashed across the statue, a wound would appear on it. Demonic blood and Demonic Qi would spurt out and be absorbed by the space.
