"Boss, there will definitely be quite a number of quests popping up because of the conflict at the borders of Inner Mongolia. If we don't take up such a good opportunity, why should we let those people from Class One Hall benefit from it?"
Within the Clear Sky Pavilion, several of Lang Xie's trusted aides could not understand why the Pavilion Master had sent a messenger pigeon.
Langye was the tower master of Sky Penetrating Tower. He had fifty thousand members, and he was the leader of the second strongest sect in Beijing!
Recently, Langye had gotten close to Class One Hall again. Once he realized that Class One Hall's strength had stabilized and increased, he became even closer to them.
The people from Sky Penetrating Tower could understand why Langye wanted to form a good relationship with Class One Hall. After all, Class One Hall was becoming stronger day by day, and Langye's status as the vice commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards was no longer as useful. If they wanted Sky Penetrating Tower to develop better in the north in the future, they had to form a good relationship with Class One Hall.
But …
Building a good relationship with Class One Hall did not mean that they would give all the benefits to Class One Hall. There was clearly no need for Class One Hall to know about this major information regarding the internal affairs of the imperial court. Sky Penetrating Tower could digest it internally and obtain quite a lot of benefits.
Lang Xie, who was sitting on the seat of honor, smiled mysteriously when he heard this and waved his hand.
"Don't worry. Do you really think … this mission is that simple?"
"Hmm?"
A few of Langye's trusted aides had surprised expressions appear on their faces at the same time. "Only a few systems in the imperial court know about the conflict in Mongolia. It's clear that this is our mission …"
"If it's a mission within China, it's only natural that the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the people from the Eastern and Western Depots can get it. But this time, the conflict is between the Mongolian army and our border army. Think about it, how can we hide such a huge matter?"
"But …" Lang Xie's trusted aides were still unwilling to give up, but before they could finish speaking, Lang Xie raised his hand and interrupted them.
"I know what you're thinking. Even if this quest is an internal quest from the imperial court, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Class One Hall, and there are people from the imperial court as well. They even arranged for a few of them to have rather high positions of power. Dream Clouds will definitely receive news of this. Instead of fighting against them at that time, it would be better for her to share information with them right from the start. She might even be able to get some benefits."
Before he could finish his words, a person suddenly rushed in from outside. His tone was urgent.
"Pavilion Master! Pavilion Master! "
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered …" Lang Xie raised his eyelids and glared at the person who had come.
"There's a man from the Embroidered Uniform Guard outside. He's here to send you a message."
As soon as he finished speaking, Langye stood up from his seat with a whoosh. His eyes sparkled, and a hint of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard would only send someone over when there was an important mission.
"Could it be that the matter of the border has already been decided?"
Without another word, Lang Xie got up and walked out.
When he saw the Embroidered Uniform Guard with his back to the door, a strange presence spread out from him, and it attracted quite a number of people to watch him. Langye's heart pounded against his chest, because the Embroidered Uniform Guard who came was not of a low level. He was actually an Inaction Realm martial artist.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, the Embroidered Uniform Guard expert turned his head slightly and calmly glanced at Lang Xie. He then said, "Commander Lang, His Excellency has ordered me to take you to the command center. Follow me." He then leapt onto his horse.
Lang Xie did not dare to be negligent. He quickly summoned his Hoof Shadow and followed behind them.
"Sir, how should I address you?"
"Fallen Leaf."
The Embroidered Uniform Guard elite's tone was dry and cold. He did not want to say another word.
"So it's Master Luo." Lang Xie secretly inquired. "I wonder why Master summoned me this time …"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You'll know when you get there."
His tone became colder. Lang Xie, who had been snubbed, was sensible enough not to ask any more questions.
…
At the command center of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Under the guidance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's experts, Lang Xie walked into a magnificent mansion.
The mansion belonged to the Eighth Prince of Beijing. The Embroidered Uniform Guards standing at the entrance were all Inaction Realm martial artists. The Eighth Prince was the person with the highest authority in the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
Lang Xie became even more shocked.
When he arrived at the backyard, the Embroidered Uniform Guard elite said, "Wait here." Then, he walked to the front to report.
Lang Xie nodded mechanically.
In truth, this was the first time he entered the place, and it was also the first time he met the legendary Eighth Prince. Naturally, he was excited and nervous. He stood outside the door while trembling in fear and waited to be summoned.
"Come in."
The voice inside was languid and awe-inspiring. Even though it was not loud, when it entered Lang Xie's ears, it was like thunder.
The door opened!
The Embroidered Uniform Guard elite walked out and cast him a glance, signaling for Lang Xie to enter.
"Alright."
'Langye' gulped nervously. He straightened his clothes on the spot before he cautiously walked in with light footsteps.
The people in the imperial court were completely different from the people in the world of martial artists.
Martial artists placed an emphasis on their presence, gazes, presence, and expressions. Usually, with just one glance, they could make a person's mind wander and feel as if they were unfathomable.
But the people in the court, especially those like the Eighth Prince, who had been in a high position for a long time and was below only one person, stood above all others, and controlled the world of martial artists, were awe-inspiring. They were born with pride and awe-inspiring might that came from their bones, and anyone who stood in front of the Eighth Prince would feel that they were inferior.
That was how Lang Xie felt right then!
Even though the Eighth Prince looked incredibly flashy and extravagant as he was served by a few beautiful women in a very lackadaisical manner and did not seem very powerful, when he looked over, Lang Xie's surprised gaze met his. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He quickly lowered his head and did not dare to look at the Eighth Prince anymore.
The Eighth Prince cast a faint glance at Lang Xie before he quickly looked away and said to the person beside him, "He's the martial artist who is rather famous in the world of martial artists you mentioned."
In the luxurious and magnificent hall, other than the Eighth Prince and a few beautiful concubines, there were also two men who looked tough and sturdy like mountains.
One of them was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
The commander swept his gaze over Lang Xie and said firmly, "Eighth Prince, that's him. His abilities are pretty good. Even though his qi realm isn't high, he can fight against a normal subordinate of mine. He's a pretty good seedling in the Embroidered Uniform Guards. We can let him join the mission at the borders this time. He might be able to catch the emperor's eye."
The Eighth Prince did not answer. He opened his mouth and took the Amethyst Grape a beautiful woman brought to his mouth. His gaze moved to the man beside the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, who had his head lowered.
The man who looked like a mountain was dressed in armor and exuded an astonishing murderous aura. He stood in the room, and Lang Xie could sense an incredibly powerful pressure from him.
"What do you think, General Luo?"
The general who looked like a mountain finally moved his gaze and cast Lang Xie a glance. "Since he's a candidate recommended by the commander, I naturally have no objections. But the mission this time is very important. I hope that he can lead the Embroidered Uniform Guards to perform meritorious deeds and fight for some glory in front of the emperor. Don't let those martial artists steal the Embroidered Uniform Guards' limelight."
