...
"Who can tell me what happened here?"
When Shangguan Qiuyue arrived at Jing'an Division, she found it in a mess and could not find a single complete scene. She was completely stunned.
The first thought that came to my mind was, could it be that the enemy country took advantage of the empress's ascension to the throne to come to the capital to show its power?
But soon, Shangguan Qiuyue quickly put this ridiculous idea behind her.
The Jing'an Division has an insignificant status in the capital. If the enemy country really wants to send people to cause sabotage, they will not choose such a low-level government office to gain a sense of accomplishment.
If we have to do something, we should deal with those idiots in the Prime Minister's Mansion first. At the very least, we should organize an assassination of important officials on the street to liven up the atmosphere and attract attention from all parties.
Moreover, although hundreds of guards from the Jing'an Division were beaten to a pulp and wailed, some even had their arms and legs broken, and their noses crooked.
But after Shangguan Qiuyue checked carefully, she found that these hundreds of people were not in any danger of life. It can be seen that the person who took action was very sensible and did not want to hurt anyone's life.
In response to the question, Cao Yuan, director of the Jing'an Division, covered his red and swollen buttocks, and limped to Shangguan Qiuyue with a sad face, supported by two subordinates beside him.
"General Shangguan, please forgive us. It was Deputy Captain Shen Zhao who suddenly acted like he had an epileptic seizure and said he wanted to leave the Jing'an Division and run away. Of course, we couldn't just let him get away with it, so he beat us up."
Shangguan Qiuyue was filled with disbelief when she heard this, and even felt it was ridiculous: "Cao Yuan, are you kidding me?
How could Shen Zhao possibly think of leaving the Jing'an Division? You should know that Shen Zhao is His Majesty's fiancé! The Emperor Emeritus's personally appointed son-in-law!
He'll be royalty soon. Do you really believe he'd give up wealth and status to run away?
Cao Yuan replied with a mournful look on his face: "General Shangguan, everything I said is true! Today, His Majesty is enthroned in the palace, and we have been preparing to go to the palace to take up our duties.
But who would have thought that Shen Zhao would act like he was possessed, beating us all up and threatening to break all three of our legs if anyone dared to stop him?
"If you don't believe me, you can ask my other colleagues. Even if I had the guts to do something, I wouldn't dare joke about this!"
Seeing Cao Yuan's sincerity and the tragic scene of the people from the Jing'an Division around him, Shangguan Qiuyue began to believe it a little.
But she quickly seemed to realize something and exclaimed, "Even if what you're saying is true, hundreds of you couldn't stop Shen Zhao alone?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Yuan immediately recalled something terrifying, and his body trembled as he hurriedly said, "General Shangguan, you didn't see how brutal Shen Zhao's attacks were. Every punch landed squarely, leaving us completely defenseless."
"Cao Yuan, what is your cultivation level?"
"Eighth level of Qi Condensation Realm."
"Shen Zhao is at most a sixth-grade Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, and yet he managed to beat all of you into this state by himself?"
"Shen Zhao's fist is really strange. Not only is it incredibly powerful, but the key is that as soon as we hit his fist, it's like our Qi Sea is being squeezed by something, making it impossible to activate our spiritual energy, and it's also draining away very quickly!"
After hearing Cao Yuan's words, Shangguan Qiuyue took a deep breath and tried to digest this shocking news.
In the Immortal Martial Continent, cultivation levels are divided into: Body Tempering, Qi Condensation, Spirit Gathering, Yuan Absorption, Soul Sea, Profound Void, Nirvana, Selflessness, Supreme, Manifestation of Sainthood, Quasi-Emperor, and Great Emperor.
Each realm is divided into nine grades. Since the realm of gods and humans (Yuhua realm) rarely appears in the mortal world, only the strong ones in the realm of emperors can dominate this continent.
Yu Xiyan was only seventeen years old, but her cultivation had broken through to the third level of the soul sea, becoming the first person in the Yintian Dynasty in thousands of years, second only to the ancestor of the Yu family.
Improving your realm can not only bring about a geometric increase in your own strength, but also increase your lifespan infinitely and even preserve your appearance forever.
But without exception, no matter what realm one is in, one must use the spiritual energy stored in one's own Qi Hai Dan Yuan to practice.
The news that Shen Zhao single-handedly defeated hundreds of people with his iron fists and left triumphantly was not only the first time such a thing had been heard in the Yintian Dynasty, but it was probably the only case of its kind in the entire Immortal Martial Continent.
If Shangguan Qiuyue hadn't felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy around her, she would have really suspected that Cao Yuan was joking with her and would have chopped him to pieces with a knife.
After a moment's thought, Shangguan Qiuyue suddenly ordered: "Immediately seal off the city gates, notify all government offices, and launch a city-wide manhunt for Shen Zhao. Under no circumstances should he be allowed to leave the capital! If you fail to capture him, you will have to explain yourselves to His Majesty!"
After saying this, he immediately returned to the palace to report this shocking news to Yu Xiyan.
Oh no, the future emperor's son-in-law ran away. This is a serious matter.
Although His Majesty dislikes Shen Zhao, using him as a substitute to reject marriage alliances with those纨绔 (spoiled and dissolute) aristocratic families is still a very good choice.
After all, Shen Zhao is really damn handsome, and you can't tell at all that he's from a poor family. The key is that he's also very obedient, so having him around as a mascot is a good choice.
While chaos reigned throughout the capital, Shen Zhao had already changed into a chivalrous outfit, disguised himself, and, carrying a pot of osmanthus wine, successfully left the capital.
He never drank before, but after experiencing the survival torment of nine lifetimes of Boiling Sheep, he developed a liking for alcohol.
However, I only drink a small amount each time, about two or three sips.
Looking back at the majestic city in the distance, recalling his nine lifetimes of memories with this city, Shen Zhao took a big gulp of wine, and then threw the wine jar in his hand heavily toward the capital.
"Looking back, each emperor brought a new court, and the general went north to Talang Pass."
"Looking back, the power and wealth of royalty are like carp crossing a river, while commoners hold orders in the Imperial Palace."
