Peace Order-Chapter 1551 - 17: High-Ranking Officials and Jumping Clowns
Mengyun laughed loudly: "Isn’t this a closer kinship!"
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I have calculated it."
"It so happens to be outside the five degrees of relation, so it doesn’t count as incestuous marriage."
Ji Zichang clenched his palm tightly, a hint of anger clouded his eyes, then slowly lowered them, pressing onto his sword hilt—’already calculated’, doesn’t this mean that when this daughter was just born, those so-called noble officials had already set their sights on this child?
In the era of the dynasty’s peak, marrying a princess was indeed a thankless task. But now, the Red Emperor’s line had fallen from power, although Ji Zichang had valiantly reclaimed part of the authority.
Already the most courageous and powerful Red Emperor of the past three hundred years.
However, the accumulation of chaos and it brought down generations of flaws and the great trend turned into the tides of the era, which cannot be changed by one person. There were once power ministers who laughed freely, saying even if the first Red Emperor came, there would be no change.
Though bold in the present age, all one could do was leave here and start a new dynasty.
There was a trace of hostility in Ji Zichang’s eyes.
The image of the deceased child flashed before his eyes.
At this moment, the identity of a father surpassed the king’s majesty and the so-called great trend. He knew that at this time, the line of the Red Emperor had already turned into a ship destined for destruction; he did not want his daughter, who had one remaining by his side, to continue being part of this decaying game.
Ji Zichang grasped the sword; Noble Consort Wen pressed against the emperor’s sleeve, watching Mengyun laugh loudly at them:
"Your Majesty, do you want to test my swordsmanship?!"
"A sword is not used like this; it needs to be heroic!" Suddenly he struck, grabbing the sword of an adjacent guard, drawing it from the scabbard, the blade was murderous, then he swung it around, only then putting the sword down, and just at that moment, outside suddenly there were bursts of noisy sounds.
Ji Zichang was slightly stunned, raising his eyes, Ji Yanzhong said: "This is..."
"Horseshoes sound?!"
Suddenly the imperial army rushed inside, their voice strained and frightened, saying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Marquis Qin Wu, no..."
The imperial army knelt down on one knee, respectfully saying: 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Prince Qin, has arrived."
The atmosphere abruptly changed, the sound of warhorses exploded like tidal waves. The royal garden was initiated in the peak era of the Red Emperor’s lineage, extremely grand, occupying a vast area, like a small city. Now looking outside, the galloping horses were like thunder, not yet arrived here, and the military school’s ominous aura had already rushed out.
The sound of bowstrings breaking through the air exploded!
Mengyun’s face changed, he drew out the sword.
Blocking beside him!
This superior mystical weapon only trembled violently once, immediately cracking open.
The sword’s body spun as it fell to the side.
Arrows brushed past the broken sword forward, piercing into Mengyun’s body, then through his protective soft armor, penetrating the physique of Grandmaster of the Seven Heavens, coming out from the back, Dharma form tried to roar but pinned through!
Mengyun’s body flew out, heavily hitting the Nine Dragon Wall.
His entire being was just pinned there by an arrow!
Still not dead, still just a miserable howl, blood flowing, gone was the prior heroic spirit, everyone was deathly silent, and under such circumstances, seemingly coincidence, or seemed deliberate control, a steed rushed out of the dust.
His dark sleeves swirling, jade hairpin bound.
Prince Qin held a dark golden war bow in his hand.
Behind him a hundred cavalry hazed.
Surrounded were Yue Pengwu, Dou Hao, Dan Xiong, all were extraordinary heroes, Niu Wei and others trembled in fear, a bit tense—the days before, just passed through the myriad troops in Ying Country, their spirit grand and now came directly to the Red Emperor’s Other Palace.
By heavens.
This Prince Qin, too—
Too exhilarating!
Previously upon arriving here, Niu Wei and these common bandits and heroes were somewhat uneasy, or felt out of place, felt such places of nobility and royalty were not suitable for their presence, always finding many awkwardness and discomfort.
Niu Wei scratched his head, saying: "Not saying we chickened out, right."
"Just we like this..."
He lowered his head, looked at his own clothes, everyone also looked at their own clothes, most wearing ragged clothes of unknown duration, stained with blood or other marks, rare to feel a bit embarrassed,
"Hey, in this appearance going there, always feel a bit disgraceful."
"Martial World folks, licking blood off the blade, going through storms, looks a bit unseemly, we don’t care, but if going to such a place, would it not be disgracing you, Prince Qin?"
"What if looked down upon!"
Li Guanyi simply said: "No need to think that way."
"High officials, wearing red and purple."
"Yet aren’t as clean as you all."
"As for being looked down upon."
Prince Qin laughed, calmly saying: "With you behind me, the vast world, no one dares to look down on you."
At this moment, these hundred cavalry came galloping, accompanying General Yue, cross thousands of miles, then with Prince Qin, came out from thousands of troops, no need to say anything else, their spirit like a rainbow, only thinking, resolutely they would not disgrace Prince Qin.
In the midst of Mengyun’s miserable howl, a hundred cavalry simultaneously stopped and dismounted.
Prince Qin’s sleeves swirling, walked forward, laughing loudly: "I heard the birth of the princess, so I hurried over here, hope I am not late!"
Noble Consort Wen breathed a sigh of relief, Ji Zichang looked at the now grown young Li Guanyi, for a long time, lightly laughed and said: "Just in time, the wine is still warm."
