390 Somewhat Famous
He embraced the beauty, protected by the Divine Bell Shield. The cold wind of the night was instantly kept out, and the air inside was just right.
Lian Xiuxiu, a beautiful woman, gazed at him intently, her eyes fixed on him.
Feeling a little embarrassed at being seen, she gently hugged him tighter, her eyes filled with doubt, and whispered, "Isn't Xiuxiu afraid I'm a bad person?"
Xiuxiu chuckled sweetly, her laughter as melodious and clear as a mountain spring. Her eyes sparkled with a clever light, as bright as stars.
Her bright, sparkling eyes were full of alluring charm. 'If I'm mistaken, it's only my own fault for misjudging people. If that's truly the case, I wouldn't have lived.'
Confidence, determination, and a hint of resoluteness within that confidence.
I lowered my head and nestled close to your warm and reliable chest, whispering, "Your shout startled my very soul."
If she misses this opportunity, she will regret it for the rest of her life. She only asks that her lover not despise her for being able to carry heavy loads and not be able to help him with anything.
Stroking her silky long hair, soft and sweet as silk, she chuckled softly, "Haha, Xiuxiu's going to have to suffer from now on, she'll have to follow behind and till the fields and weave cloth."
Lian Xiuxiu chuckled softly and playfully, "I'll play the zither for you."
A smile blooms like a flower, captivating even the most smitten.
Tao'er was also tired. She was still young, and a soft snore could be heard as she quietly fell asleep.
The lion-horse flew swiftly, its entire body brimming with power; the feeling of soaring through the sky was truly exhilarating.
The person is gone, but the turmoil continues.
As the two old men, Yun and his companion, stood quietly gazing into the distance, an ordinary horse-drawn carriage slowly approached them.
Old Yun looked at the driver and chuckled softly, "Nian Qiangguo is here. Thank you so much for tonight."
Nian Qiangguo lightly dismounted and stepped forward, saying without any restraint, "Uncle, you flatter us. We were just helping you out. How can we compare to your divine prowess, son-in-law?"
The son-in-law is truly a role model for us; seeing him fills us with admiration.
The old general looked at his son, who was flattering him, and said that his talent was not bad at the peak of the sixth rank. He was satisfied, but when he heard his son-in-law Yun's words, he immediately shook his head.
He chuckled slightly, a rare hint of a smile, and said, "You never work hard enough, now you know how far you are. Go back and study hard!"
With a slight sigh, she was still quite satisfied with her son. Although he wasn't a prodigy, he was still quite capable. It was just that with the Holy Emperor gone, the days of peaceful cultivation were numbered.
Nian Qiangguo smiled and nodded, without replying.
He asked in a low voice, "Lord Yun, would you like to temporarily move to my residence so I can chat with my father?"
Old Yun chuckled softly, "Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'll be bothering you, old man, for a few days now."
Nian Qiangguo chuckled softly, "Uncle Yun, you flatter me. My father is more than happy to oblige."
After a short while, the torches around them quickly disappeared, the moonlight was clear, and the inner palace in the distance was indeed illuminated.
He reported softly, "It's said that both the Left and Right Vice Ministers are dead, as well as Junior Guardian Wei; several others have perished. The Wei family is finished too. The matter of the Wei family is under investigation to see if someone behind it all orchestrated this."
Elder Yun nodded slightly, "Just investigate, no need for a detailed investigation. The waters are too murky right now; only by standing outside the situation can we see things clearly."
We'll just follow the Holy Emperor; we don't need to worry about anything else for now.
As for how to form a team in the absence of the Holy Emperor, that's a difficult question.
Nian Qiangguo bowed and said, "Yes, Uncle Yun."
He then whispered, "Uncle Yun, Father, it's late. Why don't you go back and rest?"
"Alright," the two of them said, and the carriage slowly disappeared into the darkness, while the soldiers hidden around them also quickly vanished into the night.
"Report, Your Highness, Lord He and Lady Lian have already left on their lion-horse." In the main hall, only the two of them were left alone. The eldest prince sat on the dragon throne, his eyes lost in thought.
Emperor Wu, a thousand elders, sat silently to the side, seemingly oblivious, his presence solely intended to reassure the eldest prince and his ministers. Tonight, however, would surely stir the hearts of some.
The prince's eyes remained completely unfathomable, as if he were utterly unconcerned about the humiliation of the recent attack. His gaze was deep and unfathomable, revealing no glimpse into his true thoughts.
His demeanor exuded a composed and unhurried air, as if everything was under his control. His calm and collected demeanor revealed an indescribable firmness, determination, and composure.
With a gentle smile, he chuckled at Elder Qian and said, "Uncle Qian, I wonder if Father Emperor gave you any instructions before he passed away?"
Qian Lao opened his eyes, looked at the eldest prince, and smiled, saying, "Don't overthink it. The Holy Emperor didn't say much to us when he left; he only instructed us to protect the palace."
The eldest prince smiled slightly, thinking to himself, 'We'll wait.' In that case, we can rest assured about our safety.
He then chuckled softly and asked, "Uncle Qian, is there any way for me to break through to the next level as soon as possible?"
The old man looked at the eldest prince earnestly and whispered words of comfort, "Your Highness, are you upset because you heard that the Third Prince has broken through?"
He shook his head slightly, as if talking to himself, "In this royal city, apart from a few old guys in the army who fought their way over from the battlefield, how many people have broken through to the Martial Emperor level?"
In this vast royal city, among the aristocratic families, how many Martial Emperors were there, let alone Martial Sovereigns?
If breaking through realms were so easy, wouldn't every one of these demons be a Martial Emperor, Martial God, or even a Martial Saint?
Seeing the heavy burden on the Crown Prince's shoulders, she felt a pang of pity and said softly, "Your Highness is still young, you must not lose your composure."
The Red King's attack can be seen as a test by all parties, or as a warning. After too much comfort and too many people indulging in pleasure, His Highness naturally needs to bring about change.
Furthermore, before his death, the Red King was known for his domineering personality and ruthless actions, so such behavior is normal and Your Highness need not worry too much.
As for the other forces, they all had their own constraints, but none were as impulsive as the Red King, willing to throw themselves into the fray. Nor were any as domineering as the Red King, risking their lives to escape unscathed.
He was deeply moved. The Red King risked his life, which was certainly due to his terrifying combat power. However, his willingness to lead from the front showed his talent as a general and earned him the love and respect of the people. He was just like the Holy Emperor of yesteryear, who was deeply followed by the soldiers in the army.
The same applies to the veteran generals in the army today. If it were the Holy Emperor's order, the army would certainly follow it. But His Highness, it is not the same. For the moment, I did not want to think about it anymore.
His Highness listened quietly, remaining silent. After a moment, he bowed and said, "Thank you for your explanation, Uncle Qian. I was too hasty. If Uncle Qian hadn't arrived tonight, things would have been very difficult to resolve."
The old man flinched slightly, then helped her up, saying, "Your Highness's greeting is too much for this old man to bear. Your Highness's forgiveness for my lateness is already an act of kindness."
