When Lin Muyu said 'for Qin Yin', the group of generals was stunned. Many of them were already sweating on behalf of this silly boy. After all, the current Emperor was still Qin Jin. However, he actually said that he was only loyal to the family for the sake of the next successor. This inevitably angered the Emperor. Even Feng Jixing furrowed his brows and thought to himself, 'Damn, this silly boy is going to stir up a hornet's nest … he's so honest …'
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Qin Jin wasn't angry at all. Instead, he stood up and held onto the Emperor's sword. He smiled and said, "Well said. I'll remember this. For the sake of Her Highness Qin Yin, you must never betray the family!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Alright, go!"
"Yes!"
…
Qin Lei secretly wiped his sweat and smiled as he said, "Rascal, let's go. Follow me to the Imperial Army's camp."
"Alright …"
After leaving the side hall, the group went straight to the Imperial Army's camp. The camp was inside the palace. Everyone leapt onto their horses and galloped away. Not long after, a building made of green bricks and tiles appeared in front of them. The Imperial Army's camp was far more luxurious than the Imperial Army's camp. In fact, a part of the palace's building had been split off to serve as the camp. The status of the Imperial Army in the capital was evident from this.
The central tent was set up in the central hall. Qin Lei leapt off his horse and led Lin Muyu into the hall. From afar, he saw a familiar face walking towards them. It was Chu Huaiyin.
"Yu, you've finally joined the Imperial Army!" Chu Huaiyin laughed.
Lin Muyu was a little embarrassed. "Brother Chu, we're working together now. It's just that after joining the Imperial Army, I'm afraid that I won't be able to visit Sister Chu Yao much more often."
"That won't happen."
"Why?" He was puzzled.
Chu Huaiyin smiled mysteriously and said, "Because you've just joined the Imperial Army!"
"Oh?"
Qin Lei laughed and sat on the general's seat. He said, "Head of the Army, get the name list!"
Very quickly, a person dressed in official robes took out a file and said, "Head of the Imperial Army, please instruct me."
Qin Lei stood up and said, "Lin Muyu, Squad Leader of the Imperial Guards. His Majesty personally conferred him the title of 'Tiger Guard'. Since he has joined the Imperial Guards for less than three months, so … he has been temporarily arranged to carry out missions in the Inspection Office. His military rank is Centurion, and he commands a hundred Imperial Guards cavalry.
Lin Muyu was stunned. He had no idea what Qin Lei was talking about.
Chu Huaiyin smiled and patted his shoulder. "Good lad, not bad. You managed to become a centurion of the Imperial Army after entering Ze Tian Palace. When I first entered, I started from the rank of corporal!"
"Lin Of of," Of Of Qin Lei, Lin Muyu Huof, "Head of Lei," Chu Muyu smiled. "Head."
"I see …"
Qin Lei held onto the hilt of his battle blade and said, "Ah Yu, there are a total of 204 people in the Imperial Guard, and they are divided into three types of positions. The first rank is the 'Dragon Guard', and there are a total of 70 people. They are dedicated to protecting His Majesty and Her Highness the Princess, but they must have been a member of the Imperial Guard for at least three years. The second rank is the 'Tiger Guard', and there are a total of 61 people. They are responsible for the safety and defense of the surroundings of Ze Tian Hall, and you are one of the Tiger Guards.
Finally, the third is the 'Eagle Guard'. They are responsible for patrolling the surroundings of the Imperial Army. You are a member of the Tiger Guard. Lastly, the third is the 'Eagle Guard'. They are responsible for patrolling the surroundings of the Imperial Army and protecting the safety of the Imperial City. " As for the Inspection Office, it's actually just an external department. It's responsible for patrolling the perimeter of the Ze Tian Hall and the defense of Tongtian Street every day. It's not a big deal, just maintaining public order. This is the only way to become a Dragon Guard. Look, Feng Jixing and I started out as Tiger Guards. "
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh. He cupped his fists and said, "Yes, I understand!"
"That's good." Qin Lei sat down again and looked at the files on the table. He then raised his head and said, "Chu Huaiying, bring Yu to report to the inspection office. Help him collect three sets of armor for the Imperial Army while you are at it."
"Yes, General!" Chu Huaiying bowed respectfully. No matter how good his relationship with Qin Lei was, he always had to be respectful in the military camp. This was the rule.
…
The military officer sent over three sets of armor. They were all the attire of the Imperial Army. However, Lin Muyu had special permission. Thus, he could only wear the Holy Temple's battle robe in the Imperial Palace.
"Come, put this on."
Chu Huaiying was like an elder brother as he personally embedded two military insignia on the collar of his armor. It was a silver military insignia with the image of a mighty tiger's head. It represented the Tiger Guard and behind it were three silver stars. This was also the standard insignia of a centurion of the Empire. At this moment, Lin Muyu was already considered a mid-level general in the army.
"Let's go!"
Chu Huaiying mounted his horse and looked at him meaningfully with a smile. He said, "However, Yu, you must be very careful. The supervisor of the inspection office is Sir Bi Fan. You must be very careful when carrying out missions in the inspection office. You must not provoke Sir Bi Fan. Otherwise, he won't let you off easily …"
"Ah?"
Lin Muyu was startled. He secretly thought that it was indeed not easy to mingle around. He thought that he would have nothing to do after entering Ze Tian Palace. He didn't expect that he would still have to fawn over his superiors here.
Not far away, a group of Imperial Army guards wearing white robes galloped over. After they got closer, they all dismounted and stood in a row to salute Lin Muyu. The person in the lead said, "I am Wei Chou. I have brought nine brothers from the Imperial Army to report. Sir Lin Muyu, from now on, you are our direct superior general. We will follow you to the inspection office to report."
"Wei Chou?" Lin Muyu couldn't help but secretly rejoice. This Wei Chou looked upright and outspoken, and there was a heroic spirit between his brows. It was a gift from the heavens to have such subordinates. She nodded and said, "Alright, let's set off now!"
"Yes!"
…
Chu Huaiying didn't send them off too far. He was on duty today and had to continue patrolling the palace. Thus, Lin Muyu and the others went to the inspection office on their own.
The sound of horse hooves reverberated throughout the Imperial City. At the outermost area of the Ze Tian Palace, there was a group of buildings that appeared to be of a simple and unadorned style. They looked exceptionally majestic, and there were three large words written on a horizontal board — Inspection Division.
Lin Muyu held a document in her hand and led ten Imperial Army guards in. She said to the guard, "The new Tiger Guard, Lin Muyu, has led ten Imperial Army guards to await orders!"
A voice came from the hall. "So it's Lin Muyu who has graced the inspection office. Come in!"
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu lifted her battle robe and stepped over the high black threshold into the inspection office. She looked up and saw two rows of Imperial Army guards lined up on both sides with solemn expressions. At the end of the hall was a steel table, and a general with a long beard was sitting there. He looked up at Lin Muyu and said with a smile, "I've long heard of Lin Muyu's great name. It's an honor to see you with my own eyes today!"
"Lin Muyu pays her respects to Lord Bi Fan." Lin Muyu was still very respectful.
Bi Fan nodded and said, "Lin Muyu, our inspection office originally had a total of five teams. Including your team today, there will be six teams. Each team needs to carry out missions for ten days every month. Your team will be responsible for patrolling Tongtian Street for the next seven days. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"Alright."
Bi Fan suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that you once saved Her Highness Qin Yin in the Dragon Seeking Forest?"
"Yes …"
"Heh!" Bi Fan stood up and cupped his hands with a smile, "It seems that Lord Lin Muyu is the savior of the future Crown Prince. This humble Bi Fan greets you."
Lin Muyu couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted. She frowned and said calmly, "You're too kind, Lord."
"Alright!"
Bi Fan said, "Go to the camp and pick a hundred Imperial Army soldiers to be your subordinates. The safety of Tongtian Street will be in your hands today, but you must remember that Gate 30 to 50 of Tongtian Street needs to be carefully patrolled. You must not disturb the order there, otherwise … I will not let you off easily, even if you are Her Highness' savior."
"Mm, yes!"
Lin Muyu cupped her hands, "Then this subordinate will take her leave!"
"Go."
… …
After leaving the door, Wei Chou and the other Imperial Army guards followed closely behind. Lin Muyu frowned, "What does Lord Bi Fan mean by Gate 30 to 50? What kind of people live there? "
Wei Chou spurred his horse to catch up with her and rode alongside Lin Muyu. He lowered his voice and said, "General, Gate 30 to 50 includes the largest gambling dens, brothels, orphanages, mints, nursing homes, and so on. It is the economic center of the entire Empire. The wealth there is comparable to that of a country, but there are also all kinds of hidden struggles. As far as I know, the owners of the gambling dens and brothels are all familiar with Lord Bi Fan. So when we patrol there, no matter what we see, we just pretend not to see it."
"Is that so?"
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Then what's the use of us patrolling?"
Wei Chou was startled and asked tentatively, "Is General not afraid that Lord Bi Fan will pursue this matter?"
Lin Muyu laughed heartily and said in a heroic manner, "As the Royal Guards, we must be worthy of this pure white robe. How can we allow this robe to be stained with dirt? I, Lin Muyu, am a Virgo, a perfectionist. I can't tolerate even a speck of dust in my eyes. Wei Chou, do you think I'm right? "
Wei Chou was startled. He didn't quite understand what 'Virgo' meant, but he still felt his blood boiling. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "If General is really doing this for the sake of the world, then no matter what happens, Wei Chou is willing to pledge his life to follow General!"
"Good!"
… …
When they arrived at the Imperial Army's main camp, they selected a hundred elites and ten Imperial Army guards. These 110 people were Lin Muyu's personal forces. She led these 110 people out of Ze Tian Palace and slowly rode into Tongtian Street. Lin Muyu's white robe fluttered in the cool breeze and she suddenly felt proud of herself.
Tongtian Street was the economic core of the entire Imperial Capital. There were more than two thousand portals in total. Therefore, they could only split their forces into ten teams. Lin Muyu personally led 11 people, including Wei Chou, the Imperial Army guard, and 10 Imperial Army cavalry. The main targets for inspection were numbers 30 to 50. Since Bi Fan was a tiger, according to Lin Muyu's personality, she would definitely touch the tiger's butt.
