Afterward, the king of the Kingdom of Gesun and the five Imperial Advisors entered Lore City together. They passed through the streets of Lore City for a while before stopping at the gates of Changyang Prefecture. The surrounding Black-Armored Army immediately spread out to guard the surroundings, ensuring the king's safety.
Although the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire were present and basically no one could harm the king of the Kingdom of Gesun, the Black-Armored Army still carried out their duties.
The commander of the Black-Armored Army, Bi Dao, stared at the grand gates of Changyang Prefecture with a complicated expression. He was filled with all sorts of emotions, but he didn't know what to feel because he had already learned quite a few things from the king.
Changyang Prefecture had already received news of the king's arrival, so the gates were wide open. All the upper echelons of Changyang Prefecture gathered at the entrance to welcome the king. Changyang Ba and Chang Bo stood at the very front. The second row was made up of the elders of the prefecture, while the third row was made up of Jianchen and his aunts.
"Welcome to my Changyang clan, your majesty. Your arrival truly brings light to my Changyang clan," the leader of the Changyang clan bowed. The patriarch of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Ba, immediately went up to welcome the king with a smile. Chang Bo followed behind Changyang Ba.
The king received a gift from a Black-Armored Army guard beside him and personally handed it to Changyang Ba. He smiled, "It's been many years since I've been to Lore City. It's rare that I have time today, so I've specially come to take a look. I hope I won't disturb you all."
Changyang Ba chuckled and exchanged a few pleasantries with the king. Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire behind him. His expression immediately changed and became solemn. He hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "I never thought that the Imperial Advisors would be here as well. Our Changyang Prefecture has truly neglected you. Please, please come in." Changyang Ba's expression became much more solemn in front of the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire. He didn't dare to slight them in the slightest.
Chang Bo also clasped his hands and greeted the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he warmly invited them into Changyang Prefecture. If the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire were to be guests in Changyang Prefecture, it would be a great honor for Changyang Prefecture.
When the guards and a few elders of Changyang Prefecture discovered that even the Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire had come, they all became extremely excited Generals of Changyang Prefecture.
The five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire didn't put on any airs in front of Changyang Ba and Chang Bo's enthusiasm. They all returned the greetings with smiles on their faces and were very polite. Their attitude towards them was much more cordial than when they were in the Imperial Palace.
Soon after, the king and the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire entered Changyang Prefecture at the same time. At this time, the king suddenly said, "Changyang Ba, I heard that Changyang Shōten has come back. I wonder where he is. Can I meet him? Speaking of which, I haven't seen this future son-in-law of mine even once. Hahahaha."
Changyang Ba's face revealed a trace of a smile, but his heart was as clear as snow. He looked at Jianchen, who was behind a dozen elders, and said with a smile, "Xiang'er, why don't you come out and greet His Majesty?"
"Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to call him Father-in-law!" Chang Bo suddenly said with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, the king was slightly startled. Then, he laughed heartily. Changyang Ba also laughed a few times on the side, appearing to be very happy.
The dozen elders moved aside to make a path. Jianchen, who was wearing a white robe, walked out in large strides. He came to the front of the king of the Kingdom of Gesun and cupped his hands. With a smile on his face, he said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Changyang Shōten greets Your Majesty!"
The king carefully sized up Jianchen. He saw that Jianchen had short hair that was only an inch long. He was very handsome, and his exquisite facial features were so perfect that no one could find fault with them. Coupled with his white and tender skin that even women would be jealous of, he was the killer of all the girls in the world. Under his handsome appearance, he also had a resolute temperament. It was as if he had witnessed Jianchen's growth and maturity, and was not a frivolous playboy.
"Good! Good! Good! "Looking at this future son-in-law in front of him, the king became more and more satisfied. He said the word" good "three times in a row. As an emperor, he had seen countless people in his life. Naturally, he could tell that Jianchen was extraordinary. Seeing Jianchen in person was not as good as hearing about him. The moment he saw Jianchen in person, his evaluation of Jianchen in his heart improved a lot.
"He really is a dragon among men!" the king exclaimed. Changyang Ba just looked at his son with a smile on his face. He was very proud of himself.
The five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire also saw Jianchen. They were shocked. They looked at each other and then stepped forward at the same time. They cupped their hands at Jianchen and said in unison, "Greetings, Lord Imperial Protector!"
When the five Imperial Advisors greeted "Lord Imperial Protector", the king of the Kingdom of Gesun and Changyang Ba's expressions froze. They stared blankly at the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire who were saluting Jianchen. They fell into a daze and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
The group of elders and guards of Changyang Prefecture, as well as the experts of the Black Armored Army who followed the king of the Kingdom of Gesun, all had the same expression. They stared blankly at the five Imperial Advisors who were saluting Jianchen. Their faces were full of disbelief.
"Imperial Protector? How can the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire be called Changyang Shōten, the Imperial Protector?" Third Aunt Bai Yushuang looked at the scene in front of her in shock. Her heart was in turmoil and she couldn't calm down.
Jianchen looked at Xiaotian and the others with a wry smile and said, "I didn't expect you to find me so quickly."
Qing Shaofan looked around and chuckled, "Lord Imperial Protector, I hope we haven't caused you any trouble."
Jianchen sighed softly. Just as he was about to speak, Changyang Ba's voice sounded, "Xiang'er, what … what is going on?" Changyang Ba's voice was trembling. It was difficult to conceal the excitement in his voice. Everyone had heard the words' Imperial Protector 'loud and clear. It was just that they found it hard to believe.
The five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire actually called his son the Imperial Protector. If that was the case, then the Imperial Protector who sent the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire to help the Kingdom of Gesun fend off the allied forces of the four empires was his fourth son, Changyang Shōten?
At this time, the king and Chang Bo also regained their senses. They looked at Jianchen in shock, waiting for Jianchen's reply.
Jianchen pondered for a moment, then said, "Father, let's talk in the grand hall."
Changyang Ba suddenly came to his senses. He suppressed the urgency in his heart and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes. Let's talk in the grand hall. Your Majesty, the five Imperial Advisors, please come in."
Immediately, all the higher-ups of Changyang Prefecture, the king of the Qin Empire, and the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire gathered in the grand hall. Jianchen's mother and three aunts were not qualified to participate in such a high-level event. However, they also wanted to know the relationship between Jianchen and the Qin Empire, so they had no choice but to brace themselves and enter.
There were not many seats in the grand hall. A group of old people from Changyang Prefecture took the initiative to give up their seats. All the old people stood quietly to one side, not saying a word. However, their eyes were still filled with shock as they looked at Jianchen. Their minds were still replaying the scene from before. The five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire had actually called the Fourth Young Master of Changyang Prefecture the Imperial Protector. This scene was also very hard for them to believe.
Because the dozen or so old people had not taken their seats, the mounts were quite empty. Jianchen took his mother's hand and sat down on a chair. Then he sat down beside her.
"Xiang'er, what's going on? Are you the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire? "Changyang Ba asked impatiently as soon as he sat down, unable to hold back the anxiety in his heart.
"That's right, father. I have another identity. I am the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire." Jianchen said truthfully. Now that things had progressed to this point, there was no need to hide anything.
Changyang Ba's body couldn't help but tremble. His expression immediately became very excited. Then he looked at the five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire who were sitting together with him, as if seeking confirmation.
The rest of the people in the grand hall were also stunned by Jianchen's words. Their eyes lost their focus, especially the dozen or so old people and Chang Bo. Their emotions fluctuated greatly. The mysterious Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire was actually one of their own people.
The five Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire all nodded with a smile, confirming this fact.
Among the people present, the King was the most shocked, the most shocked, and the one who couldn't believe it the most. The identity of the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire had always been very mysterious. During this period of time, the King had wondered more than once about the relationship between the Qin Empire and the Kingdom of Gesun. He had also wondered how he could truly climb up to the great tree that was the Qin Empire. Because of these questions, he had racked his brains over the past few days, but in the end, he still couldn't find a feasible way.
But now, he had never expected that things would turn out so dramatically. The Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire, who he had tried so hard to find and curry favor with, was actually his future son-in-law. This result made the King of the Kingdom of Gesun not know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"My dear nephew, you've kept us in the dark for so long." The King said with a wry smile. After learning that Jianchen was the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire, he was so happy that he even changed the way he addressed Jianchen.
Chang Wuji also let out a sigh. He looked at Jianchen with gratification and said, "Fourth Young Master, I didn't expect you to have such an identity. Our Changyang Prefecture has benefited a lot from you."
