After the discussion, they settled on the details of the expedition against the House of Chivalry. Feng Jixing, Lin Muyu, and Chu Huaiyin busied themselves with gathering soldiers, weapons, and rations. As the Emperor's godson, Lin Muyu did not linger in the Ze Tian Palace Hall for long. She had long since gone to Eagle Nest Mountain to gather the troops. Very soon, only Qin Jin, Qin Yin and her father, as well as Qin Lei, who was standing guard outside the door, were left in the large Palace Hall.
…
"Imperial Father!"
Qin Yin frowned slightly and asked in annoyance, "Since you have adopted Big Brother Yu, why don't you give him a title? An adopted son who doesn't even have a title. Don't you think this is unfair to him? "
"Title …"
Qin Jin slowly picked up a cup of tea and blew on it, but he did not drink it. He said, "Xiao Yin, Imperial Father only has you as his only child. If I were to give Yu a title, what title do you think he should be given? Should he be given the title of King? There are only two people in the Empire who have been given the title of King. One is the Prince of Zhennan, Qin Yi, and the other is the Prince of Yunning, Qin Lian. They are both Imperial Father's brothers. If I were to confer the title of King on Yu, I would be going against the ancestor's rule, which states that 'outsiders cannot be conferred the title of King'. Furthermore, even though Yu is brave and loyal, can you guarantee that he will not change in the future? "
Qin Yin was stunned. Her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of surprise. "Imperial Father, are you worried that … Big Brother Yu will fight with Xiao Yin for the throne?"
"Yes."
His Green Gourd Martial Spirit is only a tenth-grade martial spirit, but it is so strong that it can contend against the Qin Family's God Binding Chains. Moreover, he is proficient in the art of alchemy, and it is said that he has the ability to refine medicine close to the level of an Alchemy God. Moreover, Yu can defeat opponents with a higher cultivation base than him. Zhao Jin, Ouyang Qiu, Zhen Fang, and the others have all been defeated by him. Some people claim that Yu uses an extremely evil and domineering mysterious power, a power that no one has ever heard of before. "
Qin Jin then sighed softly and said, "People will always change. No matter how nice he is to you now, it's only because of your talent and beauty. What do you think?"
Qin Yin stood there in a daze. After a while, she said, "If I … I …"
"Don't say anymore."
Qin Jin waved his hand and said gently, "Xiao Yin, be good. Don't make things difficult for Imperial Father. The matter of Lin Muyu being bestowed the title of King will end here. Don't mention it again. Even if he joins the Qin Family, someone else's blood flows in his veins. As long as he has outstanding military achievements, Imperial Father can continue to promote him. It doesn't matter even if he becomes the Empire's Marshal, but … he will never be bestowed the title of King!"
"Yes, Imperial Father …"
Qin Yin bit her red lips. A trace of loneliness flashed through her eyes. The power of an emperor was something she could not understand.
… …
Eagle Nest Mountain. The camp was in chaos.
When Lin Muyu brought Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the others to the Eagle Nest Camp, the former Commander Meng Fang was trembling as he held a black metal object. He said respectfully, "Milord, this is … the Eagle Nest Camp's Tiger Seal. Please take good care of it."
"Commander, I didn't mean to replace you, I just …" Lin Muyu wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know where to start.
Meng Fang shook his head and smiled, "No, this matter has nothing to do with anyone else. I was blind to actually stop you from bringing troops to reinforce Deer Cry Park. It was I, Meng Fang, who was muddle-headed. Alright … I will leave the mountain immediately. As for the Eagle Nest Camp … I hope that Lady Lin Muyu can take good care of it. This is the hard work of my brothers and I for many years …"
Lin Muyu smiled, "Don't worry, I will."
Meng Fang led his warhorse and went down the mountain alone to the Royal Army to receive his orders. A dignified Commander of a Camp leaving alone like this did indeed seem very lonely.
After watching Meng Fang leave, Lin Muyu turned to the group of Royal Guards and said, "Alright, let's have a meeting!"
"Yes, Milord!"
Eagle Nest Mountain had a total of nearly 700 soldiers under her control. This gave Lin Muyu a sense of accomplishment that she had never felt before. Goddammit, she was finally a person who held the power to decide life and death in her hands!
A group of Squad Leaders and Corporals of the Royal Guards stood on both sides. Two of them were very eye-catching, one was Gong Xun and the other was Xu Geng. Because these two were former subordinates of the Divine Marquis Residence, they were still members of the Divine Marquis Residence. However, their presence in the Eagle Nest Camp made people feel like they were out of place. Lin Muyu was someone who couldn't tolerate having a single grain of sand in her eyes. She took out a document and smiled, "Lord Gong Xun, Lord Xu Geng, I have good news here. His Majesty has agreed to my order to promote the two of you to centurions of the Divine Might Battalion. You can now go down the mountain and report to the Divine Might Battalion."
"What?!"
Gong Xun's face was full of shock, "We … we're going to the Divine Might Battalion? Lin Muyu, what's the meaning of this? Don't forget how long you've been in the Eagle Nest Camp. Are you trying to kick us out the moment you arrive? "
Lin Muyu smiled, "This document has the golden seal of the Emperor's Imperial Seal on it. Anyone who resists will be executed! Men, escort Xu Geng and Gong Xun down the mountain and erase their names from the Eagle Nest Camp's roster. "
"Yes!"
Now that Lin Muyu was in charge of the Tiger Tally of the Eagle Nest Camp, she had a clear objective. She wanted to eliminate the opposing forces and make the Eagle Nest Camp completely under her control.
A few minutes later, Gong Xun and Xu Geng also left the mountain with a simple salute.
Lin Muyu immediately reorganized the Eagle Nest Camp and promoted Wei Chou to Deputy Commander. She also promoted four centurions, each of whom would lead a team of a hundred men. After everything was reorganized, the drums were sounded and everyone descended the mountain.
More than six hundred cavalrymen descended the mountain. The sound of the horses' hooves was deafening. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they could already see a large number of Imperial Guards waiting there from afar. They were the five thousand men that Feng Jixing had gathered. In addition, there were also the four hundred Imperial Guards that Chu Huaiying had led. In total, there were more than six thousand soldiers. They marched majestically towards the House of Chivalry's headquarters in the capital.
Although they had been delayed for a long time, it was still not too late to attack the headquarters now.
…
After marching for half a day, they arrived at the foot of the mountain at dusk. From afar, the Loose Swordsmen on the mountainside had already lit a bonfire. It seemed that they had not given up on the headquarters yet. There were about a hundred men guarding the entrance of the mountain.
"Attack the mountain!"
Feng Jixing commanded and led the cavalrymen to charge forward. As they neared the entrance of the mountain, he brandished his saber and slashed out a powerful saber energy!
"Boom!"
The simple and crude entrance of the mountain was immediately split into two. More than two thousand Imperial Guards charged forward and slashed the hundred or so Loose Swordsmen into a mess.
"Let's go up as well!"
Lin Muyu waved her hand, and Wei Chou and the others immediately led the Eagle Nest Battalion to charge forward. They arrived ahead of the Imperial Guards and killed their way to the headquarters of the House of Chivalry. Outside the headquarters, there were cries of anguish. Many of the Loose Swordsmen who had been injured during the operation last night were currently recuperating. How could they withstand the combined attack of the Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards? Many of them knelt down and shouted at Lin Muyu, "Lin Yan, Master Game Envoy, please let us go. We don't know anything, we just want to eat …"
Chu Huaiying frowned and asked, "What should we do with these Loose Swordsmen? Should we take them in and convert them into the Imperial Guards? "
Feng Jixing raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "The warriors of the Imperial Guards are untainted by even a speck of dust. These scoundrels whose hands are stained with the blood of the commoners are not fit to join the Imperial Guards. Take them all down and put them into the border guards."
Lin Muyu dismounted and stepped into the headquarters. She asked, "Where are Ji Yang and Li Qianxun?"
A Silver Venerable One had lost an arm. He panted heavily and said, "Envoy Da Game Envoy and Envoy Li You left with their men at dawn today. We don't know where they are now. Some Silver Venerable Ones and Bronze Venerable Ones who can still move also left with them …"
Lin Muyu smiled slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, the jewels on the mountain were also taken away, right?"
"They took a small portion. There are still a lot of them on the mountain that they couldn't take away in time."
"Is that so … Someone, come and take inventory of the treasures in the headquarters."
"Yes, Commander!"
…
Wei Chou searched for a while and ran back happily. He smiled and said, "Commander, there is a secret room under the headquarters. There are many treasures hidden in it. Do you want to take a look, Sir?"
"Yes," Lin Muyu nodded and looked at Chu Huaiying and Feng Jixing. "Let's go and take a look together?"
"Okay!"
Lin Muyu walked in front with a torch in her hand. She was shocked when she entered the secret chamber. The House of Chivalry's headquarters had more Gold Hub Coins than the Tian Jing Mercenary Group. There were more than a hundred boxes of Gold Hub Coins, but all the diamond coins had been taken away. Many of the boxes that stored the Gold Hub Coins had been smashed, and there were traces of people grabbing Gold Hub Coins. Ji Yang and the others had left in a hurry and were afraid of being chased, so they didn't take too many Gold Hub Coins with them. Otherwise, with Ji Yang's greed, he would have taken all the gold here.
"Ha …"
Feng Jixing couldn't help but laugh. "The House of Chivalry is really rich!"
"Yes!" Chu Huaiying said excitedly. "Look over there, there's an armory!"
Lin Muyu quickly flew over. There was indeed a large pile of superior-grade weapons there. There were spears, spears, swords, axes, and so on. However, the profound-grade and spirit-grade weapons had been taken away by Ji Yang and his men. However, it was enough. These weapons could be used to equip ordinary soldiers.
"Hmph!"
Chu Huaiying opened a simple wooden box and smiled. "I didn't expect Ji Yang to know about antiques and jade artifacts. This old man …"
There were jade bracelets, rings, necklaces, and other accessories in the box. There were also a few scrolls of calligraphy and paintings. It was obvious that they were paintings by famous people. However, the calligraphy in this world was something Lin Muyu couldn't understand. She opened one of the scrolls and glanced at it. It was really f * cking ugly!
"Eh?"
Feng Jixing suddenly picked up a pure black thumb ring from the box. He smiled and said, "What material is this thumb ring made of … It doesn't look like jade, and it looks very hard."
As he spoke, he placed the thumb ring on the table, pulled out his saber, and slashed at it. With a "dang" sound, sparks flew in all directions. The saber was deflected, but the thumb ring was not damaged at all. Its surface was still glowing.
…
At this moment, in Lin Muyu's Yi Hai, Lulu's voice sounded. "Brother, this is the legendary Qingming Stone. It's a type of spiritual jade and one of the hardest stones. Brother, you can refine the beast soul into this Qingming Stone thumb ring. Then, you can refine this thumb ring into a spiritual artifact!"
"Oh?"
Lin Muyu's heart skipped a beat. She smiled and said, "Brother Feng, since this thumb ring is so hard, why don't you give it to me?"
Feng Jixing grabbed a handful of gold coins and stuffed them into his pocket. When he was almost stuffed to the brim, he happily said, "Alright, alright, alright. The thumb ring is yours, and the Jinn coins are mine … Damn, there are too many Jinn coins here. Can I take some more?"
Chu Huaiying looked at him contemptuously. His meaning was self-evident. "You still have the nerve to be the commander of the imperial guards?"
