At night, Phoenix Perching Hall was very quiet. Only the sound of the wind blowing through the curtains could be heard. Winter had come, and it was another winter.
A female official placed a heater beside Qin Yin and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you've been looking for a long time!"
Qin Yin held a white robe with a smile. This was an armor cloak that only the White-robed Imperial Forest was worthy of wearing. Qin Yin had personally embroidered the emblem of the Empire's Purple Yin Flower on it. In addition, the white robe had a small "Yu" embroidered on it, and the golden thread used was brand new.
The female official couldn't help but laugh, "Is this Commander Yu's robe?"
"Yes …" Qin Yin smiled happily like a girl in love. She just held the white robe and giggled happily. At this moment, she didn't have the majesty of an empress at all.
The female official knelt down and said, "Your Highness, this servant will help you put it away. Commander Yu will need to wear it tomorrow."
"En, okay."
…
The next day, the coronation ceremony of the White-robed Imperial Forest was a well-deserved event of the Empire.
On the altar outside Zetian Hall, not only were there many officials, but even the people of Lanyan City were watching the two newly conferred White-robed Imperial Forests by Her Majesty the Queen from afar. One of the two White-robed Imperial Forests was a legendary figure — Lin Muyu, one of the Four Heroes of Lanyan City. During the chaos of Lanyan City, he fought with Luo Lan and died for the country. Later, he was mysteriously resurrected as one of the Empire's commanders. His story had been spread to the point where it was common knowledge. Moreover, the people described Lin Muyu's appearance vividly, as if he was a god descending to the mortal world. This made him the dream lover of many girls in Lanyan City, although Lin Muyu didn't know them.
The winter wind blew through the square, lifting the cloaks behind Lin Muyu and Su Yu.
Qin Yin, who was wearing a fur robe, looked extremely gorgeous. She slowly walked forward and took the scepter from the female official's hand. She smiled and said, "This is the Loyal Bravery Scepter. I hope that Ah-Yu and Aunt Luo will never betray the Empire and the people of the world."
Lin Muyu nodded, "I will."
Su'Er said, "Me too."
Qin Yin then took the white robe from the maid's tray and personally draped it over Lin Muyu. Her starry eyes were like water as she looked at her beloved who she had lost and found again. Moreover, Lin Muyu could also be called a jade tree in the wind. Qin Yin was so moved that she almost cried. Pursing her red lips, she said: "Yu, I order you to always stay by my side and never leave."
Lin Muyu looked at her deeply and said seriously, "Even if time and space are reversed, even if the universe is in chaos, I will not leave you, as long as you need me."
"En!"
Qin Yin nodded heavily.
Su Yu burst into laughter. "Hey, hey, I'm also a White-robed Imperial Forest. Shouldn't you confess to me as well?"
Qin Yin snappily smiled. "Then I hope Aunt Lian finds a man worthy of entrusting her life to soon."
"Hmph, unreliable." Su Yu pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "Is the appointment ceremony over?"
"No."
Qin Yin turned around and secretly glanced at Ge Yang on the altar in the distance. She snickered and said, "Grandpa Ge Yang is like a charlatan. He hasn't finished reading those long and complicated funeral rites!"
Lin Muyu asked, "Since the Imperial Guards have been rebuilt, they will definitely promote a commander of the Imperial Guards. Does Xiao Yin have anyone in mind?"
"Actually, Big Brother Yu should be able to guess it."
"It's Ah Yan, right?"
"En."
"Hmph, I knew it. He's poaching my people again. Poaching without saying a word …"
Qin Yin burst into laughter. "Hmph, what kind of person does Big Brother Yu think Xiao Yin is? I will treat every member of the Imperial Guard well. By the way, I don't have any candidates here, so Brother Ah-Yu, please select a hundred cultivators from the Holy Temple who are loyal to the Empire and have extraordinary cultivation base. "
"This way, the entire Imperial Guards will be my people. Aren't you afraid that I will take the entire Imperial Guards with me?" Lin Muyu was speechless.
Qin Yin smiled sweetly and said, "Then you can take me with you!"
Su Yu held her forehead and said, "You guys are so unscrupulously flirting with each other in front of me. Have you ever considered my feelings … Your Highness, I am a loyal official. You can't anger me to death during my conferring ceremony …"
Qin Yin burst into laughter, held Su Yu's wrist, and said, "Alright, Aunt Rui, I didn't do it on purpose. I'm so hungry. I will treat you to a good meal at Ze Tian Palace Hall."
"Sure, sure …"
Lin Muyu, who was at the side, said, "Oh right, all the delicacies in Ze Tian Palace Hall seem to be from the tributes of the feudal lords. There isn't anything too fresh. Let's rebuild the Eagle Nest Camp as soon as possible so that we can hunt some delicious prey for you every day. Look at you, you have lost weight …"
Qin Yin rolled up the empress's sleeves, looked at her jade-like chubby wrists, and said with a smile, "Is … is this called losing weight?"
Lin Muyu curled her lips and said, "Come early in summer."
"Why?" Qin Yin was surprised.
Lin Muyu thought for a while, changed to a more appropriate term, and said, "Xiao Yin, every summer in my hometown is a feast for the eyes. The girls will wear very beautiful clothes, but Lanyan City is different. In summer, the women in Lanyan City are still wrapped up tightly, just like women in the old society."
"What do you mean by women in the old society …" Qin Yin had a helpless look on her face.
"In any case …" Lin Muyu muttered to herself for a long time and said, "In any case, if there is a chance, I will bring you back to my hometown to have a look and experience the atmosphere of life there!"
Su Yu complained helplessly, "Do you not want the empire anymore?"
"Of course not!"
Lin Muyu thought for a while and said, "After Xiao Yin cultivates the Dragon Slayer Technique, she will immediately step into the Saint Domain. I believe that with her ability, she will definitely step into the God Realm within 100 years and reach the God Emperor Realm within 1,000 years. At that time … the empire will have been passed down for dozens of generations, and we will not be needed anymore. At that time, we will reverse time, and I will bring you home. What do you think?"
Qin Yin was overjoyed. "Okay, okay, it's a deal! Also, we will bring Xiao Xi and Sister Chu Yao! "
"Okay."
Lin Muyu clenched her fist complacently and said, "Hmph, when I return to Shanghai with my God Emperor Realm mystic strength, my father will be scared to death … At that time, I will bring you to eat all over the country, and then travel around Europe, hehe!"
Su Yu said helplessly, "Xiao Yin, what is he talking to himself about …"
Qin Yin shook her head. "I don't know either …"
…
Finally, the long conferring ceremony ended. Lin Muyu, Su Yu, and Qin Yin walked down the stage and accepted the congratulations of the officials. At the same time, they officially confirmed the establishment of the Imperial Guard.
They had lunch at Ze Tian Palace Hall and returned to the Divine Temple in the afternoon. Lin Muyu had to settle the matter of the Imperial Guard for Qin Yin as soon as possible.
Ever since Lin Muyu returned, the Divine Temple used the system of centralizing manpower. The outstanding cultivators from the various Divine Temples were invited to serve at the headquarters. Therefore, there were more than a thousand instructors and trainers. It was not difficult to select a hundred people with Earth Realm cultivation and above, and there were even a few experts with Heaven Realm cultivation.
In the evening, a hundred Divine Temple experts came to Ze Tian Palace Hall to accept the Empress' conferring!
At this time, Qin Yan had already changed into a commander's armor and stood there happily with his hand on his sword. He looked very mighty. He became one of the commanders of the empire at such a young age, and he was probably the first person in recent times.
"Big Brother!" Qin Yan looked at Lin Muyu with a smile.
Lin Muyu walked forward and helped Qin Yan remove the Captaincy insignia on his collar with a serious expression. Then, she helped him wear the commander insignia with three gold stars and said, "Ah Yan, from today onwards, you are the commander of the Imperial Guard, one of the most important commanders in the empire. You should be very clear about how important this position is. You must be careful and not be careless. Don't disappoint Her Highness's trust in you. Also, the previous commander of the Imperial Guard is your brother, so don't disappoint Big Brother Qin Lei!"
Qin Yan was solemn and quickly gave a military salute to Lin Muyu and said, "Big Brother, don't worry. Ah Yan will definitely not disappoint you and my brother, and I will definitely not disappoint Her Highness the Empress!"
"Good, very spirited." Lin Muyu smiled cheerfully.
Feng Jixing, who was at the side, said, "This scene actually made me vaguely recall the appearance of the Four Heroes of Lan and Yan back then … Sigh, it's a pity that Old Chu is missing. The Flying Mount Camp has been completely annihilated, and this organization no longer exists."
"No, it won't."
Qin Yin walked over step by step and said, "As long as the time is right, I will rebuild the Flying Mount Camp. However, this is on the premise that General Feng and Big Brother Yu must support me."
"That's for sure." Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing nodded their heads together.
Qin Yin looked at Lin Muyu and said with a smile, "Big Brother Yu, since the Imperial Guards have already been reorganized, it's better to do it sooner rather than later. I plan to start rebuilding the Imperial Guard within half a month. The establishment will be set at ten thousand people, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard will be selected from the Longdan Army Camp and the Imperial Guards. You and General Feng shouldn't have any objections, right?"
"No." Lin Muyu laughed straightforwardly and said, "Don't worry, there are plenty of soldiers in the Longdan Army Camp."
Feng Jixing cupped his fists and said, "The Imperial Guards were trained by new recruits two years ago and have just taken shape. Since Yu has already boasted, then let's select ten thousand people from the Longdan Army Camp alone!"
Lin Muyu regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. She never expected that Feng Jixing would be so shameless. She hurriedly said, "That won't do. Your Highness's words carry enormous weight. If you say that you will select two troops, then you must select two. I can't just take advantage of it."
Feng Jixing laughed heartily and said, "That's fine, but …"
He muttered to himself for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the time is ripe. Can we consider expanding the Imperial Guard? The twenty thousand Imperial Guards are simply not enough. Any army of the feudal lords can destroy us. What I mean is that the Imperial Guard should have at least fifty thousand people. Otherwise, it will be difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the Imperial Capital. The chaos in Lanyan City four years ago has proven everything. "
"That's good …" Qin Yin was a little embarrassed and said, "But the expansion of the army must go through the Ministry of War. The Minister of War, Xue Ling, is Duke Lan's man. I'm afraid that this resolution won't be passed."
"Then what should we do …" Feng Jixing stood there gnashing his teeth.
Lin Muyu said, "I have a suggestion."
"Oh, what is it?" Feng Jixing and Qin Yin asked in unison.
Lin Muyu said, "Since Duke Lan and Duke Yun want to stop the Imperial Guard from recruiting new soldiers, then let's recruit them in secret. All the recruited soldiers will be placed into the Imperial Guard's external corps and won't be included in the Imperial Guard's military system. If Duke Lan and Duke Yun pursue the matter, Big Brother Feng can say that these soldiers belong to the external corps and aren't officially part of the Imperial Guard. They are only doing odd jobs, so they won't be able to pursue the matter. In any case, there's no military police battalion now, so there's no need to be afraid. We can just deal with them."
Feng Jixing's eyes lit up as he suddenly patted Lin Muyu's shoulder and said, "Brat, you actually thought of such a shameless idea!"
Lin Muyu trembled and turned to look at him speechlessly. "Fortunately, I'm also a Saint. Otherwise, I would have been killed by you."
Feng Jixing laughed out loud: "Yu, I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow. I'll call three girls from the brothel for you!"
"Alright!"
Qin Yin was speechless.
…
At this moment, an official suddenly shouted, "Deputy Commander Wei Chou requests an audience!"
"Let him in!"
"Yes!"
Not only did Wei Chou enter, but he also brought a beautiful young lady with him. It was Jin Xiaotang.
When Jin Xiaotang saw Qin Yin, she immediately knelt down respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"You may rise." Qin Yin smiled gently and said, "Xiaotang is Big Brother Yu's woman, so she is also mine. There's no need to stand on ceremony."
"Xiaotang, what's the matter?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Big Brother Yu, a batch of white diamond ornaments that we bought from the Qihai Province was robbed 25 kilometers north of Lanyan City!" Jin Xiaotang said with some grievance.
"F * ck!"
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows: "Who has the guts to touch the goods of our Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce?"
