Yue Qianchou gave a noncommittal smile and didn't make any comments. According to his own estimation, maybe the fake 'hero' was more powerful than the real one. He admitted that he didn't have an expert who could kill two Crossing Tribulation Final Stage cultivators at once. Although Bai Suzhen was also at the Crossing Tribulation Final Stage, it was hard to say if she could defeat two at once. Moreover, Aung Kwang-tsung definitely had other Crossing Tribulation Final Stage experts. Otherwise, he would have already gone to Qing Guang Mountain to find trouble with Aung Kwang-tsung.
"Master's wife, during this time, did anything new happen in the cultivation world?" Yue Qianchou naturally wouldn't let a master's wife who was familiar with the cultivation world go to waste.
"Nothing new, but there is an old thing. The New Talent Assembly that is held once every ten years will be held at Supporting Immortals Island in six days. This year, Aung Kwang-tsung will definitely be absent. Ai! It's a pity that you have already been expelled from Supporting Immortals Island. Otherwise, you would also be able to witness this grand occasion. "The Hundred Charm Beauty teased.
"It's a bit of a pity." Yue Qianchou shook his head in agreement. He thought to himself, how do you know that I won't be able to witness this grand occasion? As long as I want to go to Supporting Immortals Island, I can go at any time. However, these words naturally couldn't be said out loud.
The news of the Pillar of the State General returning to the capital with ten thousand guards had already spread throughout the capital. It was said that His Majesty the Emperor would personally come out of the city to welcome them. The common people naturally didn't want to give up on this opportunity. To be able to see His Majesty the Pillar of the State General was a rare thing. Therefore, the streets were filled with people.
Yue Qianchou was normally a person who liked crowds. Naturally, he also wanted to join in on the fun. However, this time, because His Majesty the Emperor would personally come out of the city to welcome them, the number of people that could go out to welcome them was limited. Therefore, Shi Youtian, who was in charge of this stall, personally arranged for him to be part of the welcoming team. Lady Li, two sons, two daughters-in-law, these were the family members. The housekeeper and four servants were just in accordance with the rule that a master couldn't have more than one servant. Among the servants, there were three maidservants. Only the housekeeper and Yue Qianchou were male. Naturally, it was to make it easier for them to serve their mistress.
At the west gate of the capital, the Shi family's master and servant had already arrived at the city gate. Although it was early in the morning, the sun was still quite fierce. Fortunately, they were at the west gate, so the sun wouldn't reach them for a while. Everyone could hide under the tall city walls. As for the top of the city gate tower, His Majesty was up there. The main road out of the city was guarded by layers of majestic Imperial Guards, not allowing anyone to get close. The family members of the Pillar of the State General were the only exceptions and were allowed to leave the city.
Yue Qianchou looked up from time to time from the city wall. He had never seen what the legendary emperor looked like, and he really wanted to see it.
"Little Tian, that old man in yellow on the city wall is the emperor?" Yue Qianchou suddenly saw a guy in yellow robes appear on the city wall. He seemed to be very powerful, so he pulled Shi Xiaotian aside and asked.
As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed. Li Hongniang's expression was a bit awkward, but she didn't know what to say. Shi Youtian hurriedly looked at the Imperial Guards over there. They were quite far away, so he didn't think they could hear him. He then wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Bao Wanshi, on the other hand, was a bit dumbfounded. Someone actually dared to talk about His Majesty like that? Si Tuhui's eyes also flickered. The housekeeper lowered his head, and the three maidservants were a bit scared. They didn't know why this new servant was so daring. Not only did he call their master's name, he even dared to look down on His Majesty.
Shi Xiaotian didn't raise his head, but smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, can you not do this? You've already crossed the line. According to the law, you will be beheaded."
Those who could come here to greet them were all the Shi family's trusted subordinates. Yue Qianchou didn't care about what he said. He said disdainfully, "Behead me? You can ask him to try. If he gets angry, I will kick him down from the city gate tower right now. "
Hearing this, everyone was terrified. If these words were to spread, what would happen? Shi Xiaotian almost begged, "Boss, lower your voice. The Emperor is protected by the Imperial Preceptor. The Imperial Preceptor isn't an ordinary person. He has a high cultivation!"
Yue Qianchou was slightly stunned. He remembered something. It seemed that before Bai Suzhen was imprisoned in Aung Kwang-tsung, she had fought with a Imperial Preceptor. Thinking about this, he really restrained himself a little.
About an hour later, there was movement on the city gate tower. Not long after, a group of civil and military officials escorted a yellow-robed elder out of the city gate. As a family member, she couldn't go to the main road to greet them. She could only follow from the side protected by the Imperial Guards.
As if it was rehearsed, everyone immediately felt a buzzing vibration under their feet. Following that, the neighing of war horses came from afar. When a banner could be seen fluttering in the distance, a general in silver armor had already leaped up the slope. Immediately, a row of generals in battle armor followed behind him. Suddenly, a black mass of cavalry appeared behind them, and with a rumble, they followed the general in front. If this group of people didn't stop and directly charged over, what would the situation be like?
The momentum of the tens of thousands of horses galloping over was astonishing. Even the ground over here was trembling. Yue Qianchou sized up the civil and military officials on the main road. Many of their faces had already changed. It was obvious that they were frightened. Looking at the Shi family's side, they were all pleasantly surprised. It was the joy of seeing the master of the family, and a very powerful one at that.
Yue Qianchou shook his head and sighed softly, "Sigh! I only said a few words and people said I was overstepping my authority. Great General Shi made such a big commotion. Doesn't he know that the Emperor is here to greet him? Is he putting on a show to scare the Emperor, or is he here to attack the capital? "
Although his voice was soft, it was enough for the few masters in front to hear. It was unknown whether he was speaking to himself or to others. The Shi family's family members trembled when they heard this. They all turned to look at the main road's emperor.
They saw an elder with a sword on his back, who was originally behind the emperor, take a step forward and stand next to the emperor. It seemed like he was protecting the emperor. This time, the Shi family couldn't be happy. It was obvious that they had really frightened the emperor.
Yue Qianchou only saw it now. When he saw that person's clothing, he was stunned. Wasn't that the clothing of Fuxian Island? He couldn't help but ask, "Who is that old man with the sword on his back?"
"He is the current Imperial Preceptor." Shi Youtian sighed. After being pointed out by Yue Qianchou, he could also see that his father was a little rash today. Yue Qianchou nodded silently. No wonder the Li family's dynasty was supported by Fuxian Island. It was indeed so.
The silver-armored general at the front suddenly raised his hand and waved when he was about a hundred meters away from the welcoming guards. The dense mass of cavalry behind him abruptly reined in their horses and stopped abruptly. It was truly an order that was strictly enforced. The general also slowed down. He rode his horse to a stop about ten meters away from the guards of honor. He jumped off his horse and threw the reins. There was already someone running over to hold the horse for him.
The State Pillar General strode in front of the emperor and knelt on one knee. He said, "Subject Shi Wenguang greets Your Majesty." When he knelt, the army a hundred meters away also got off their horses and knelt together. "Long live Your Majesty!" The shouts shook the sky. Just this formation made the blood of those watching feel a little hot. They were indeed an elite army that had been on the battlefield for a long time.
At this moment, the old emperor finally smiled. He waved his hand and signaled for all the soldiers to rise. The Imperial Preceptor beside him said loudly, "His Majesty has an order. Rise!" His voice was louder than a loudspeaker. It immediately showed the Imperial Preceptor's ability.
After that, there was a scene of love between the emperor and his subjects. Yue Qianchou wasn't interested in that. What he cared about was how deep the Imperial Preceptor's cultivation was. However, it was clearly higher than his because he couldn't see through it.
In the end, the general's ten thousand guards set up camp outside the city. The general himself received the honor of being in the same carriage as the emperor. He went directly to the palace and the palace prepared a banquet for him. The Great General's family only had a quick meeting with him, which was considered a greeting.
To Yue Qianchou, he was just here to watch the show. When he came back, he would do what he had to do. He planned to stay for a few days and wait for the Hundred Charms Beauty to get news about the fake hero. Then, he would go to Fuxian Island to see if he could see the New Talent Assembly that was held once every ten years.
After two days, Yue Qianchou wanted to find the Hundred Charms Beauty. However, he saw Shi Xiaotian walking in with an unhappy expression. He couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Shi Xiaotian shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Today, during the morning court, someone criticized my father. He said that my father has an army and often follows him. He wants His Majesty to take back my father's military power …"
Yue Qianchou smiled and took over the topic. "Then, the old emperor rejected that person's criticism and reprimanded him. He even praised your father."
Shi Xiaotian was stunned. "Who told you that? It just happened not long ago. My big brother told me when he came back. How did you know? "
Damn! I've seen too many TV dramas in my previous life. Yue Qianchou put on an unfathomable expression and smiled. "I don't need anyone to tell me. I guessed it the moment you said it." Then, he walked around the hall with his hands behind his back and sighed. "If I'm not wrong, this is just the beginning. There will still be people who will continue to criticize your father. Sigh! Looks like your Shi family has reached a point of life and death. "
His words were too alarmist. Shi Xiaotian was shocked. His expression twitched. "Boss, you must be joking!"
"A general who can command millions of people can't be stupid!" Yue Qianchou patted his shoulder and sighed. "Help me send a message to your father. I believe he will understand."
"What message?" Seeing that his boss didn't seem to be joking, he became nervous.
"Peace is decided by the general. He is not allowed to see peace!" Yue Qianchou sighed. "Tell your father. He will naturally know what it means. I'm going out to do something. " Then, he wobbled out. As he walked, he shook his head and said, "It's all because of military power!"
