Chapter 115: Return to the Valley of Hundred Flowers (1)
Inside the Imperial City dedicated to the Imperial Family of the Binghua Empire
In one of the rooms of the most luxurious, magnificent, and dedicated main hall dedicated to the queen's management of imperial affairs, Ye Chen and Yue Ling'er rested and waited in it.
"Masterβ"
"Ling'er, what's the reason why you're in such a hurry?"
Consciousness returned to the main body, and as soon as Ye Chen opened his eyes, he saw Yue Ling'er running quickly.
"A group of people who look like courtiers of the Binghua Empire are rushing towards us, as if they are still talking about asking for an explanation. β
"I'm in trouble now......"
Scratching his head and standing up, Ye Chen looked helpless.
"Ling'er, where are your parents now?"
"In the main hall, there are also Grandpa Xiang and Grandpa Yang, who are discussing with each other how to deal with the non-machine spirit master army that appeared outside the imperial capital. β
"Isn't it true that the armies of the Four Protectors can't expel them?"
"Uncle Shi, they have no intention of using force to expel them, and now the two sides are facing off outside the imperial capital. β
"It's not force, it's about putting pressure on the authorities mentally, it's like a repetition of the 'Central Metropolis' of the past, and those from the Machine-Spirit Master Association must have been involved......
"Master?"
Listening to Ye Chen's self-talk, Yue Ling'er tilted her head in confusion.
"Since this kid Yuetian forcibly pressed the hat of the National Teacher of the Binghua Empire, I will do my best a little. β
"This is the first and last warning, this is the resting place of the Queen's Division, everyone immediately stops, or they will all be killed in the name of mistreating the National Teacher-"
The paladin, who was standing strictly outside Ye Chen's gate, was guarding the agitation in the center, deliberately pretending to be majestic, and warned the civil and military ministers of the gorgeously dressed Binghua Empire who were constantly approaching.
"The commander of the First Legion of the Binghua Empire, as the representative of the military ministers, requests to pay homage to His Excellency Ye Chen-"
"The Minister of Finance of the Binghua Empire, as the representative of Wenchen, requests to pay homage to His Excellency Ye Chenββ"
Even if Ye Chen is a national teacher and above 10,000 people under one person, as an important minister of the Binghua Empire, he doesn't have to think of kneeling. However, Ye Chen also had another identity known to all the beings in the Machine Spirit Continent, the 'Radiant Sword God'.
Without any resistance, under the leadership of the two representatives, all the civil and military ministers of the Binghua Empire here respectfully bowed.
"I'll allow you two to come inβ"
Ye Chen's words came, and the respectful and solemn paladin guards immediately opened the door and led the two ministers who had Ye Chen's permission into the palace.
"Meet Your Excellency Ye Chenβ"
The paladin, who had just stepped into the threshold of the palace, led the way, the commander of the First Legion, and the Minister of Finance, immediately respectfully made a veritable three kneeling and nine bows to Ye Chen, who was sitting on a high place.
"Huh?"
Even when she accompanied her parents to accept the tribute from her subjects, she had never seen a grand ceremony, and Yue Ling'er almost screamed in surprise.
"I don't like it either, but I have the status of a god-lord like the 'Radiant Sword God', and it is my duty to accept the reverence and faith of mortal beings. β
There was no trace of dislike or boredom on Ye Chen's face at all, and Yue Ling'er subconsciously took a step back from Ye Chen, who was full of joy.
In the one step and three kowtows, it was obviously a short distance of more than ten meters, and the two representatives of the ministers of civil and military affairs and the paladin guards turned it into a long road to the audience.
"Mortals, what do you wish to ...... here?"
Bang β
"Ling'er, what are you doing? Even if it doesn't hurt, I'm also your master, it's rude to be like this. β
Rubbing the back of his head that he didn't feel at all, Ye Chen reprimanded softly to the girl behind him.
"You're embarrassed to say me, but what are you doing......, Master?"
Truthfully copied Ye Chen's tone and movements in the last second, and Yue Ling'er's face was full of shame.
"Obviously, as the head of the Holy Light Academy, which pays the most attention to etiquette education, he behaves like a third-rate evil god who is believed in by a cult. β
"Ling'er, you can't say such disrespectful words to the gods......"
Showing a slight hint of anger, Ye Chen instantly calmed down Yue Ling'er, who was blushing with anger.
"But this time it's really inappropriate. β
In order to maintain his truth, the gods were absolutely not allowed to make or say that they were wrong, but Ye Chen still tried his best to ask Yue Ling'er for forgiveness.
"Commander of the First Imperial Army and Minister of Finance, what are your intentions here?"
Returning to his normal appearance, Ye Chen finally stopped letting the two people below be bystanders.
"The meaning of our trip is to ask if Zunjia is really going to become the national teacher of my Binghua Empire as the king said?"
"The guards should have been informed just now, I am now the queen of the Binghua Empire and the king's teacher, if you like it, you can call me the national teacher. β
After getting Ye Chen's answer, the Minister of Finance, who was still in good spirits even with white hair, took over the sturdy middle-aged man in armor and continued to ask questions.
"Then the next question, who does Venerable think should be in charge of the entire empire after the Ice Lady King? Is it Princess Ling'er, or is it the master disciple of the Holy Light Academy who will inherit it?"
"Oh, you're the Empire's Minister of Finance, but you have interesting ideas in your head?"
"After inheriting the position of the head of the Holy Light Academy, Zunjia has obtained many outstanding talents and students in the mainland. If the empire got the information right, including the descendants of the Overlord Sect, one of the five major families of Aotian, and the descendants of the Holy Light Heroes, any of them had the potential to not lose or even surpass Princess Ling'er. β
"It's not to be underestimated, it seems that even allies need to be on guard. β
"Holy Light's understanding of Binghua is far beyond Binghua's understanding of Holy Light, and there is an absolute gap in strength, we all understand, how can we possibly do this kind of self-destruction that needs to be guarded against. β
"Heyβ"
Whispering to stop the commander of the First Army beside him from continuing, the Chancellor's eyes flashed like that of an old fox.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency Ye Chen who is the candidate for the next king of the Binghua Empire in your heart?"
"Nope. β
β......β
Ye Chen replied unexpectedly, and the two of them couldn't react for a while.
"Le Jay boy, the five of them have already mapped out their own path for the future. The descendants of the Heroes of the Light will naturally continue the glory passed down from their parents. I'm a god, but I'm also the head of the Holy Light Academy, so I wouldn't do such an impudent act as interfering with the future of the students. β
Before the commander of the First Legion could open his mouth to refute, the Minister of Finance stopped first, and bowed his head again and made rude apologies to Ye Chen: "Please Your Excellency Ye Chen, forgive me for the narrow-mindedness of mortal humans. β
"Forgive you......"
Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders indifferently, but the atmosphere in the entire palace was even more severe.
"Don't worry, I'm also the Emperor of the Binghua Empire now, and I won't just get angry and destroy the entire empire. β
With a smile, he said words that he wanted to comfort the two of them, but the two of them also understood the meaning of the phrase 'gods are just disasters for the mortal world'.
"I'm not very busy, but I have my own reservations, can you continue to talk about your questions?"
After glancing at each other, the Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke again.
"Then the last question, does the Venerable Driver intend to start a war with the Blood Flame Prison?"
"Of course, as a god, you must not back down under the provocation of the gods, this is the dignity of the gods. Now that you've asked the question, you'll have your opinion of the Light. However, I would like to advise you that 'manpower cannot go against the sky'. β
"What?"
I didn't understand the meaning of Ye Chen's words at all, but there was no time to ask a rhetorical question, Ye Chen casually waved a golden breeze and blew the two of them to the palace.
"Retireβ"
After the First Legion Commander and the Minister of Finance were blown away, the other two paladin guards who were responsible for leading the way also hurriedly exited the palace and respectfully closed the gate for Ye Chen.
"I've been in the dark for so long, come out. β
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Yue Ling'er looked around the palace vigilantly and moved closer to Ye Chen's side.
"Meet Your Excellency Ye Chenβ"
"What's the matter, the distressed young man?"
Obviously, there was almost no age difference in appearance, but under the domination of the 'old man's soul' in his body, Ye Chen said the words that the person who suddenly appeared was most eager to hear.
"I really deserve to be a god, but in fact, I am the ...... of King Hua"
"Needless to say, I'm a god, and I know everything about your origins. Your name is Bingnu, you were raised by King Hua and raised a killer, and you have done countless wrong things against your heart. After Yu Yuetian boy met, he decided to be a good person again, abandoning the betrayed former master Hua Wang, but now his heart is full of confusion and doesn't know how to move forward. β
"It's really a god-sama, and I really know how powerful it is. β
Looking at the one person and one god who seemed to be performing a farce, the girl who was only fourteen years old couldn't continue to look at the two quietly because of shame, and quietly left Ye Chen's palace.
"It's the same person, no, it's the same god, but because of the appearance of the younger, even the personality and heart have become different. Could it be that Shigong was like this when he was young?"
While muttering to herself, Yue Ling'er came to the main hall where the queen and the ministers discussed the affairs of the empire.
Looking at the closed palace gate, Yue Ling'er just wanted to turn around and leave, when she found two familiar figures appearing around the corner in front of her.
"Bai Su, Peaches, what are you doing?"
"Well, ahhh......hh
Hearing Peach's answer, which was not like an answer, Yue Ling'er tilted her head even more suspiciously.
"What do you mean?"
"Actually, it's the two of us who got lost in the Imperial City. β
was told the truth by Bai Su, and Peach, who was a senior sister, was full of shame.
"Where's Lily, where did she go?"
"I don't know. β
"She just left a sentence, I have something I want to know about going out for a walk and leaving. β
