Chapter 957: Greed, the last piece
The Eldest Prince left, and the military power was now in the hands of the Emperor. As soon as the Emperor got the military power, the Eldest Prince"s maternal family pet.i.tioned to be disbanded and returned to the county.
When the civilian officials retire, they return to their hometowns, and military generals disarm and return to their fields. This can be regarded as a rule in the officialdom. After they resign, they go home. They don"t stay in the capital to see if others will give them a face or not anymore.
After the Emperor deliberately stopped them, he agreed and arranged for people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to help them move for fear that they would stay in the capital and not leave, which would make him look cold and petty.
"Sure enough. Everything in the Central Empire looks good from the outside. But when you get here, you will understand that everything is just like an illusion." They were all human beings. No one was n.o.bler than the other.
Xiao Tianyao complained calmly. If no one had heard his words, people would not have thought that he disliked the Central Empire.
After hearing this, Lin Chujiu smiled and echoed: "Before I came here, I thought the Central Empire was scary. But now that I"m here, I think it"s not bad."
Especially in the days when she first entered the Central Empire, the people in the Central Empire were all aloof and the vast wasteland had invisibly enhanced the status and image of the Central Empire in their eyes, which made her feel uneasy.
However, after they came here, she understood that as long as they had the ability, it would be the same no matter where they were. As long as they have the courage and determination to work hard and constantly break through, they can become strong wherever they are. No one will dare to look down on them.
"We will be able to go back soon." Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiu"s thin face, with a flash of heartache in his eyes.
Even though life in the Central Empire was peaceful, and they didn"t need to travel around, Lin Chujiu still lost a lot of weight.
It was impossible to be truly free and relaxed if it was not their place. Even if this place was not as scary as they imagined, they still had to be on guard at all times.
In the Central Empire, Lin Chujiu was unhappy.
"It"s better to leave early. The Lin Family has been pestering me every day recently, asking me to recognize my ancestors and return to the clan. They are hinting at me inside and outside their words. With the Lin Family as my backer, what could have happened to me in the East…" Thinking of the Lin Family"s overt persuasion, the secret threat, Lin Chujiu was powerless.
Does the Lin family think she was a fool? They were so eager to ask her to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan. If she wanted to say that the Lin Family had no purpose, she wrote her name backward.
"Just hang in there, we will leave soon. The people from the Martial G.o.d Mountain are coming." Martial G.o.d Mountain was a transcendent existence. Even the Central Empire must give them some face.
“Are the people from the Martial G.o.d Mountain here for you?” Lin Chujiu was stunned and looked at Xiao Tianyao with confusion. Did this man make a plan for everything before he came?
Calculate their retreat and calculate the situation of the Central Empire.
"Well, I sent a letter to them not long ago. I am a Supreme Martial G.o.d. They will send someone to come and identify me." Although the Martial G.o.d Mountain was detached from the secular world, it was also governed by humans, and there were various relations.h.i.+ps among humans.
It was not difficult for them to send someone from the Martial G.o.d Mountain whenever they wanted.
"In this case, there is no need to offend the Lin Family. I will continue to deal with them." People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Even if they return to the East. The power of the aristocratic family cannot be underestimated.
"No need. You don"t need to see them if you don"t feel happy." The power of the aristocratic family cannot be underestimated. Naturally, he will not offend them as much as possible if he can. However, he was not so weak that he had to ask his wife to please the people of the aristocratic family.
"With the Hua Family here, they won"t dare to do anything to me." Although the Eldest Prince kept reminding them that the Hua Family had ulterior motives, in the Central Empire, the banner of the Hua Family was more useful than the Eldest Prince. Without the protection of the Hua Family, they will have a hard time in the Central Empire.
After all, the Eldest Prince himself was in dire straits, so how could he possibly help them?
Xiao Tianyao nodded slightly, then fell into deep thoughts for a while and said: "Tonight, I"m going to meet someone. If it succeeds, we won"t have to worry about anything when we return to the East."
There were some things that he wanted Lin Chujiu to know, but he didn’t know how to say them. After all, he was used to being alone.
One person plans, and one person takes care of everything.
"Okay, just be careful." This was not the East. If something happens, she doesn"t know who to ask for help.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” After shaking Lin Chujiu’s hand, Xiao Tianyao’s indifferent eyes flashed with a touch of imperceptible warmth and annoyance.
He was annoyed that he began to crave the warmth of home and didn’t want to go out, especially at night.
It was night, Lin Chujiu was fast asleep. Xiao Tianyao did not disturb her, quietly got up, pinched the corners of the quilt to cover her, planted a kiss on her forehead, and went out under the moonlight……
Lin Chujiu seemed to feel something on the bed and snorted lightly, but did not wake up.
Going out alone, Xiao Tianyao"s speed was so fast that only an afterimage was left. In the blink of an eye, he appeared outside the city: "I"m here, come out!"
In the darkness, s.h.i.+ Yihan, dressed in silver, walked out calmly, but the moment he saw Xiao Tianyao, his whole body froze: "Xiao Tianyao, why is it you?"
"Young Master s.h.i.+, I haven"t seen you for a long time." It was he who made the appointment, so Xiao Tianyao would not be surprised.
"How could it be you?" s.h.i.+ Yihan frowned and looked at Xiao Tianyao with a thoughtful expression. He said for a moment and asked, "Were you the one who broke into the abandoned capital of the Shenyuan Dynasty?
"Mmm." Xiao Tianyao would not admit it if others asked him about it, but when s.h.i.+ Yihan asked, it would be too hypocritical for him not to admit it.
After all, what was placed in the Shenyuan Dynasty was in his hands.
"What is your relations.h.i.+p with the Shenyuan Dynasty?" s.h.i.+ Yihan looked at Xiao Tianyao, his eyes full of wariness.
Xiao Tianyao did not answer his question, but asked: "Young Master s.h.i.+, what is your relations.h.i.+p with the Imperial Family?"
"This is my business, why should I tell you?" s.h.i.+ Yihan"s face changed slightly, but only for a moment.
"Similarly, why should I tell you about me?" The same words were said in different tones. s.h.i.+ Yihan"s tone was harsh, while Xiao Tianyao"s tone was calm and gentle.
"It seems that you are a descendant of the Shenyuan Dynasty." s.h.i.+ Yihan smiled, regained his original elegance and calmness, and looked at Xiao Tianyao teasingly, but Xiao Tianyao ignored his provocation.
"Young Master s.h.i.+ is free to think whatever you want." Xiao Tianyao didn"t say much. He took out the token he took from the Shenyuan Dynasty Temple and handed it to s.h.i.+ Yihan: "Here"s the Yueying Silver Medal, Young Master s.h.i.+."
Yueying silver medal was the token of Moon Shadow Tower. Each owner only has one piece and can only give it to one person. The person who gets the silver medal can unconditionally ask the owner to do one thing for him, anything except stealing from foreign countries.
Over the years, the Moon Shadow Tower has only given away three Yueying silver medals. Now, except for the one given to the Shenyuan Dynasty, all Yueying silver medals have been taken back.
Xiao Tianyao has the last piece in his hand……
