A carriage with yellow curtains entered Martial Emperor City of the Eastern Sea. After entering the city, it attracted countless gazes. Other than the fact that the carriage itself was very eye-catching, it was also because the coachman was Qi Jiajie, an expert who had been famous in Great Peace City for a long time. He had been the number one swordsman in the capital for more than a decade. Qi Jiajie wore white clothes, white shoes, and white scabbard. Even though he was middle-aged, his face was still like jade and his bearing was extraordinary. The scabbard of Qi Jiajie's sword was extremely long, but that "Bai Shuang" was actually very short, only slightly longer than a dagger. No one knew why it was clearly a short sword, but it had a long scabbard. Over the years, they had only sparred a few times, and the number of times he had used his sword could be counted on one hand. Qi Jiajie practiced the sword. He came from an unorthodox background and did not belong to a renowned sect. Then, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, becoming one of the leading figures of the world's sword forest after Li Chungang and Đồng Thái. A few princes who had already become vassals, as well as Grand Secretary Zhang's daughter, Zhang Gaoxia, and some of the most outstanding children of the nobility in Li Yang were all his disciples. Their accomplishments were either high or low, but none of them were vulgar. How could Martial Emperor City not be curious about someone who could make Qi Jiajie personally drive? Moreover, the forces of the imperial court did not interfere in Great Peace City. This was an established rule. As a result, when this carriage suddenly entered the city, it caused great panic in Martial Emperor City. It had to be known that there were too many jianghu people in the city with murder cases, and they were all great bandits on the wanted list. If there really was a day when Great Peace City lost that life-saving talisman, at most one or two people would die unjustly.
Some of the first-rate experts who had suffered greatly under the human-cat Han Diaosi were even more fearful. They were already prepared to become stray dogs again.
Qi Jiajie stopped his carriage under the walls of the inner city filled with famous people's treasures. A eunuch dressed in bright red python robes lifted the curtain and walked down from the carriage. A few jianghu men who were watching from afar did not even see his face clearly before they turned and ran in fright. They all thought of him as the demon Han Diaosi. Only great eunuchs could wear the great red python robes. This was the custom of the imperial palace of Great Peace City. In reality, this eunuch was very young, Song Tanglu. However, he held the position of eunuch of the Ceremony Directorate. He was the next eunuch in the world after Han Shengxuan. He raised his head and gazed deeply at the walls, revealing a sliver of imperceptible bitterness............... Even if Song Tanglu had a carefully worded imperial edict, he did not have the confidence to reason with this person. Qi Jiajie was the first Jianghu Loose Immortal in the world. He could be said to be a great hermit in the imperial court. He did not need to observe anyone's words and expressions. He was far less worried than Song Tanglu. He leisurely told the eunuchs beside him about the Jianghu anecdotes that were nailed to the walls. Song Tanglu was not paying attention, but he was used to being cautious. He still listened with a pleasant expression to the story of this person who had the potential to become the "Teacher of the Emperor" of Jianghu.
Soon, someone came down from the city wall to welcome the guests. Qi Jiajie's eyes lit up. It was Old Monster Wang's direct disciple Lou Huang. His sword was "Bodhisattva Barbarian". He gave up Taoism to seek skills. He limped forward on the path of sword practice. Therefore, he was called Little Đồng Thái. The three of them walked up the steps together. There were already several people waiting on the city wall. Qi Jiajie recognized most of them based on the Jianghu rumors. The one who was riding a little girl in green on his neck should be Wang Xianzhi's first disciple, Yu Gongzhu. The tall, imposing, and charming beauty was already ranked in the rouge evaluation three times. She was the grandmaster of boxing, Lin Ya. She was playing with the little girl on the neck of her martial brother Yu Gongzhu. However, Qi Jiajie did not see Gong Banque, who had a ring scar on his head but wore a Taoist robe. Instead, he saw a young man with sunken cheeks and a withered face. A dilapidated ivory fan hung on his waist. He stood a little far from Yu Gongzhu, staring blankly at the Eastern Sea. Song Tanglu's gaze swept over the young man's face. He paused for a moment, then calmly looked at the bridegroom Yu and asked softly, "Young Master Yu, our Ceremony Directorate Song Tanglu, may I know where City Lord Wang is?"
Yu Groom, who was holding the legs of the green-clothed girl, said apologetically, "Master has left the city with Junior Sect Brother Gong. But he knew that Song Diao Temple was coming and told me to pass a message to Great Peace City."
Song Tanglu made a sound of acknowledgement. He did not show any anger or disappointment. His gaze was calm as he said, "Young Master Yu, please speak."
Yu Groom smiled slightly and said, "Master said that he sent a message to Great Peace City not to ask for a promise, but to inform the Zhao Family's Son of Heaven. This trip out of the city is his last time appearing in the world. If anyone wants to block the way …"
At this point, the girl in green lowered her head and whispered in the bridegroom's ear. He could only gently pat her little head and ask her to let him finish his words. When the girl stopped, the bridegroom continued, "You can try to get ten thousand cavalry to try first."
Qi Jiajie frowned. At the same time, Lin Ya looked straight at this dissatisfied top swordsman of Jingdou.
Song Tanglu seemed to have a naturally slow temperament. When he heard such rebellious words, he only took them seriously. He was still like a clay Bodhisattva without any temper, not at all like the Head of the Ceremony Directorate who had the power to overturn the capital.
Yu Groom said calmly, "It is not that I do not understand Jingdou's thoughts. That King of Beiliang should not die now. It is best if he dies after he and Beimang are both injured. But Master is not willing to wait. As disciples, we do not dare to say anything. If this is a bad thing, there is also good news for Song Zhangyin. That is, starting from the day Master left the city, the court will take over Jianghu. You can enter the city to capture and kill people. There will be no more restrictions on the Eastern Sea. After saying this, I will also leave the city with my junior sect brother and sister. I plan to explore Jianghu. "
Song Tanglu nodded and said gently, "Young Master Jingyu, you will become famous in one move."
Song Tanglu obviously did not know martial arts, but everyone present was the top grandmaster of Jianghu. Listening to his words and aura, it seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. It could be said that it was impeccable. If it was really intentional, this Marten Temple's cultivation in officialdom was simply shocking. Of course, it could not be ruled out that this person had a calm temperament. But could such a eunuch really climb to the top step by step and take over the Ceremony Supervisor position from Han Shengxuan? Lin Ya was still fine and continued to tease the green-clothed girl. Lou Huang could not help but look at Song Tanglu a few more times. Song Tanglu turned his head and looked back. He said with emotion, "It is rare for me to leave Jingdou. It is a pity that I could not see Old Immortal Wang with my own eyes."
Song Tanglu laughed loudly and said, "Since we have left the city, I will return to Jingdou immediately. Heroes, farewell. I hope we can meet again in the future!"
Yu Groom and Lou Huang cupped their fists to send him off. Even Lin Ya nodded slightly.
The green-clothed girl suddenly asked curiously, "Hey, Mister Song. Do you have an imperial edict? Can I touch it?"
Mister Song?
Song Tanglu was stunned at first, but then he laughed heartily. His eyes narrowed into a line, and his expression was especially gentle. He no longer referred to himself as' I '. "Yes, I will bring it to you now. Wait a moment."
The imperial edict was in a box. Song Tanglu did not think of taking it out to announce the edict at first. Was he going to ask the people of Martial Emperor City to kneel and listen to the edict? So he simply left it in the carriage. But since the jade-like girl on Yu Groom's shoulder wanted it, Song Tanglu would give it to her. Qi Jiajie glanced at Yu Groom, who was said to be able to inherit Wang Xianzhi's mantle. He rubbed the White Frost Sword's hilt with his thumb and smiled. "Mister Yu, if you have the chance, come to Jingdou. I will definitely be a good host."
Yu Groom gave a flat 'en'.
Qi Jiajie turned and walked down the city wall.
Lin Ya watched as the Great Eunuch ran down the city wall to get the imperial edict. She could not help but laugh. "You are not annoying."
Yu Groom nodded. "It is indeed rare."
The girl jumped down from Yu Groom's neck and excitedly ran to "receive the edict." Lin Ya asked, "Senior Martial Brother Yu, Senior Martial Brother Gong originally wanted to go to Great Peace City, but he changed his mind and went to the southern border. I did not listen to Master. What about you and Junior Martial Brother Lou? What do you think?"
Lou Huang's eyes were determined. "I am preparing to go to Beiliang and see if that Xu person can really fight with Master."
Yu Groom smiled. "There are people staying to watch the house, there are people going to the south, and there will be people going to the west soon. It seems like I can only go to the north."
Lin Ya frowned. "Great Peace City?"
Yu Groom shook his head. "Even further north, Liao."
Lou Huang looked around and said softly, "I have to go first."
Lin Ya said mischievously, "Hurry up and leave. Be careful not to be beaten by the world's sixth King of Beiliang."
Lou Huang glanced at the unsociable young man. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Ya glared and said, "Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth. Be good and shut up!"
Lou Huang laughed loudly. He flew over the city wall, skimming on the eaves as he floated out of the city.
Yu Groom looked at Lin Ya and said in a deep voice, "Take care."
Lin Ya reached out to rub her brow. "I am a woman and am not that sentimental. Can you men be a bit more mature?"
Yu Groom smiled and shook his head. He turned and left. He bent down and picked up the green-clothed girl that had climbed back up the city wall. She sat on his neck and opened the imperial edict. She said proudly, "Imperial edict."
Yu Groom smiled gently. "I know."
