"They are not the Black Armor Army."
Chen Long said.
Although their attire closely resembled the Black Armor Army, he could still discern details that distinguished them from the real Black Armor Army.
Qianqian nodded quietly.
Indeed, the secrets of the Black Armor Army were her father’s lifelong dedication. Unfortunately, before they could surface, they were ambushed by the Thousand chanism Pavilion and the Loulan King.
Later, she brought the military manual to the Chu Family and, with the help of King Chu and Chu Nan, cultivated an invincible army according to her father’s tactics.
The true Black Armor Army was undeniably a force of unparalleled valor.
These few officials rely mimicked the form but not the essence.
But since they imitated, does it an they had seen the real Black Armor Army?
Is the Black Armor Army really in the Southwest?
"Out of the way! Out of the way!"
Suddenly, a commanding shout from an officer rang out on the street.
Due to the angle, Qianqian couldn’t see what was happening. She only heard sothing rolling on the ground, followed by the sound of a child running, a woman’s crying, and the sharp crack of a whip.
Yu Zichuan was about to step forward but was held back by his father.
Ji Li, Si Snake, and Chen Long, all being mbers of the Twelve Guards, had a sympathetic heart for the world’s troubles but not much.
The three had long past the impulsive age of drawing their swords to help upon seeing injustice.
Ji Li leisurely waved the folding fan in his hand.
He appeared to be soone easy to provoke, yet he maintained an extraordinary calm in significant matters.
"Rooster, why isn’t N intervening in this matter?"
Tan’er asked curiously, "What if there are kids being bullied?"
Ji Li snorted, "Don’t urge this Commander Guard, if you want to see the excitent, go yourself."
Tan’er: "Huh, not falling for it."
Tan’er wouldn’t involve herself; what did others’ matters have to do with her?
Qianqian and Lu Yuan also sat still in the carriage.
The people in the alley flocked to the entrance to watch the commotion.
Before long, a young man returned and said to Tan’er and Ji Li, "A child kicked a cuju onto the street and nearly ran into the hooves of a trusted aide’s horse from the Crown Prince Mansion. The Guard Commander raised his whip in anger, but fortunately, Prince Jian stopped him. Not only did Prince Jian not bla the mother and son for their offense, but he also punished the Guard Commander, demoting him by one rank so that he could only be a regular aide in the future."
"The Commandery Prince loves the people like children, truly a descendant of Phoenix and Dragon."
"Yes, indeed."
"There is a successor to the throne of Da Liang, Your Majesty can rest easy."
The people around gave much praise to this Commandery Prince.
This Commandery Prince had only restored his ancestral roots for less than two months, yet he had already won widespread acclaim among the people.
Tan’er pouted and said, "It’s all just a show for us to see!"
A small fruit vendor, hearing this, beca displeased, "Hey—how does the little girl talk?"
Tan’er replied, "With her mouth, like N, with uh-uh ah—"
The last few words were covered by Qianqian with her hand.
After the Commandery Prince’s grand entourage had left, the street beca passable again.
Tan’er spoke again, "I wasn’t wrong, it must be an act!"
The ans to win people’s hearts had also been used by the Governor’s Mansion; at that ti, it was to quickly accumulate prestige to deal with the Pri Minister’s Mansion.
You can’t say that those who do so are necessarily not good people.
It depends on the motive.
The carriage slowly exited the alley.
Tan’er stuck half her body out and saw the gradually receding carriage of the Commandery Prince, "So grand, so luxurious!"
Emperor Liang had been frugal all his life and didn’t allow his sons to squander, yet he made an exception and spared no expense to create a unique luxury carriage for his beloved grandson. The horse was a top-grade Ferghana horse, the carriage body made of eternal golden nanmu, with a canopy embroidered with priceless Dongzhu pearls.
It can be said that his love for this only grandson reached the utmost degree.
Qianqian asked Si Snake, who was riding a horse, "By the way, Si Snake, have you found out the na of this Imperial Grandson of Emperor Liang?"
Si Snake replied, "Lu Qi, a na personally bestowed by Emperor Liang."
Qianqian murmured, "Qilin, also known as Qilin, is the foremost of the five auspicious beasts, said not to eat living beings or trample live grass — it arrives only when there is a true king."
"What does that an?"
Tan’er didn’t understand.
Qianqian softly said, "It ans that wherever the Qilin descends, there is sure to be an emperor."
It was exactly after having this Imperial Grandson that Emperor Liang ascended to the throne, so bestowing the na Qilin matched perfectly with his path to emperorship.
Ji Li held a Heavenly Gang Compass in one hand and a tortoise shell given by Liu Muye in the other, "Before entering the Imperial City of Liang Country, this Commander Guard cast a divination, and indeed there was dragon energy above the Imperial City, indicating King Qin’s ascension was dictated by destiny."
Qianqian realized, "Emperor Liang believes that his emperor’s fate was brought by this Imperial Grandson, which explains why he dotes on him so much; in his eyes, Lu Qi is not only the heir to the throne but also the National Guardian Beast of Da Liang."
Ji Li said to Lu Yuan, "You both bear the surna Lu, yet you’re rely a Young Master of Witch Mountain, while he is elevated to the status of National Guardian Beast, truly the sa na but different fates."
Chen Long looked at Ji Li, "If you can talk, say more."
Lu Yuan, "Co out and fight!"
The group bantered playfully, and an hour later, they arrived at the Yu Family residence.
Yu’s father got off the carriage and said cheerfully, "Our humble abode may be modest, but make yourselves comfortable for now; once we manage to set up a bigger house, we’ll move in together."
Lu Yuan also got off the carriage and politely said to Yu’s father, "Uncle Yu, you’re too kind. It’s us who are intruding, and we are grateful that Uncle Yu can overlook the trouble and take us in."
Chen Long asked Qianqian, "When did he beco so articulate?"
Qianqian smiled slightly, "He’s always been like that."
In the Great Zhou, he was a treacherous minister; outside the Great Zhou, one must retract the sharp edges where necessary, and handle human affairs appropriately.
Besides, he always regarded Yu Zichuan as family, and naturally, he held great respect for Yu Zichuan’s father.
The Yu family residence was on a relatively quiet street, and Yu’s father ntioned that houses here were cheap.
It was a three-courtyard house.
Upon entering, the sight of a small fish pond, blooming flowers, green bamboo, and a pebbled path evoked a sense of familiarity, as if returning to the small courtyard on Witch Mountain.
"The children’s mother loves to spend her free ti gardening and raising fish."
Yu’s father ntioned Yu Zichuan’s mother with a smile full of affection, showing his deep love for his wife.
"They’re not here, are they?"
Yu Zichuan asked.
"You an your little sister? Sent to your elder sister’s place, so your mother can rest easy during her pregnancy."
Yu Zichuan had an older sister who was already married, and two younger sisters one year apart, the older one seven and the younger one six.
Because the younger sister ate well and was as strong as the elder sister, they appeared almost like twins.
The two didn’t cling to their parents, preferring to vie for Yu Zichuan’s attention.
"Brother is mine!"
"You’re lying! He’s mine! I ca first!"
"So what if you ca first?"
"First one is the eldest!"
"Elder sister is the eldest!"
Every day, Yu Zichuan was fought over by his two sisters, leading to endless headaches.
It was partly due to these two clingy little ones that he resolutely went to the capital to learn archery.
