Chapter 218 - Fan-age Fourteen
Ling Xiao's words shocked everyone, and also revealed the reason of the fall of the Imperial City. It turned out that it was because of the imperial uncle colluding with the enemy that caused the entire situation.
In an instant, everyone angrily looked at Grand Uncle. Although no one said anything, one could tell from their eyes how much they loathed Grand Uncle.
It could also be because Ling Xiao had tied up Uncle Huang that he no longer had the ability to move. A few courageous people stepped forward and fiercely spat out a mouthful of saliva.
There was a beginning, and that was when endless curses rang out. If it wasn't for Ling Xiao, Great Uncle Huang might have been beaten to death by these people.
"Alright!" It's so noisy to scold on the side. " Ling Xiao did not have the time to meddle in this kind of thing, it was just that with Grand Uncle right by his side, with so many people opening their mouths, each word from them was even more annoying than mosquitoes and flies.
He was clearly a well-trained Soldiers, but he was acting like a shrew on the streets, unlike a soldier.
It was also no wonder that this place had been brought out by the Grand Uncle. As expected, it was not reliable, and as the saying went, it was unfair. Thinking of this point, it was no surprise.
"Why haven't you seen what the city has become? Those innocent people who have been imprisoned have yet to be released. The streets have been tidied up, don't wait for your Emperor to return and see such a tattered side." Ling Xiao said coldly.
Hearing these words, all the surrounding Soldiers said yes and left.
As for Grand Uncle, he had already been tormented to the point of fainting due to the pain, leaving him hanging on with one last breath.
Very quickly, Ling Xiao saw a black dot appear in the distance, and continuously enlarge.
"Big brother Ling Xiao, a lot of people are coming!" Seeing that, Ling Er could not help but stand up and shout.
Ling Xiao nodded and said: "Mn, Hongji's leader has returned."
Ye Lvhongji had returned, and this news quickly spread throughout the entire Imperial City. All the Soldiers lined up with the fastest speed possible, and prepared a welcoming queue.
The gates opened and the sound of trumpets rang out, welcoming their emperor home.
When Ye Lvhongji had first entered the city to attack Chu, he had received a message from Ling Xiao. After he had solved the problem in Chu, he immediately rushed to the Imperial City.
Looking at the commoners and Soldiers s who were welcoming him, Ye Lvhongji replied without expression, as if he was not the least bit concerned about them.
"Where's the Sect Master Ling?" Ye Lvhongji looked around, and realised that he did not see the person he wanted to meet.
When the Prince heard this, he knew how important Ling Xiao was to his father and immediately instructed his subordinates to gather information on Ling Xiao.
"Father, the Sect Master Ling is above the city gates." After the Prince received the news, he stepped forward and said.
"You lead the way into the city. If you have any urgent matters, you can handle them first. If not, then leave them. I'll come later." Ye Lvhongji nodded his head, and said that, and then jumped down the horse, ignoring everyone's gaze, he took off his helmet and armor, and walked alone to the entrance of the city gate.
When they saw this scene, everyone was stunned. Why did they not enter the Imperial Palace and instead went to look for someone that didn't belong here?
No one understood, but since it was possible for Prince, it was possible for deputy Generals, as they knew how important Ling Xiao was to Ye Lvhongji, they indifferently watched him climb the city gate.
"Everyone! Keep going forward! " The Prince led the army and continued to lead them towards the city. He didn't want his father and Ling Xiao's conversation to be disturbed, if not his father would be unhappy.
"You're here?" Ling Xiao heard the footsteps from behind him and said with a faint smile.
Ye Lvhongji walked in front of Ling Xiao, looked at the emperor's grand uncle who had fainted on the ground, and his eyes were filled with disdain and disgust. After that, he raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao, and cupped his hands: "Sect Master Ling, thank you!"
Ling Xiao stood up, and said with a smile: "As your brother, this is what I should do.
Ling Er, who was at the side, saw Ye Lvhongji and immediately stood up from his chair and was about to greet him.
Ye Lvhongji saw through it and knew that those who were following Ling Xiao were definitely related to him, so he immediately raised his hand and said: "No need."
"Sect Master Ling, speak the truth. If not for your help, I don't even know how to resolve this crisis." Ye Lvhongji walked forward, grabbed Ling Xiao's hand, and sighed as he spoke.
Ling Xiao patted Ye Lvhongji's shoulders, "Brother from your own clan, there's no need to be so polite, I've already brought the person over for you, you decide what to do with him yourself."
Ye Lvhongji nodded his head, and said: "Sect Master Ling has worked hard, I will arrange the best accommodation for you to rest. The Reward's Ceremony will take place in two days, Sect Master Ling can come as well."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed: "Since there's more food to drink, then of course we have to join in on the fun."
"Alright, I'll send you to the resting area now." Ye Lvhongji said as he nodded his head.
"The Emperor is personally escorting you? That's not so good. " Ling Xiao said.
Facing Ling Xiao's joke, Ye Lvhongji said with a serious face: "You're the savior of this country. Let alone escorting you, you can even lead your horse."
After Ling Xiao heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't, don't. Hongji's leader, you are too serious!"
At the resting area, Ling Xiao looked at the extravagant attire in the room, and could not help but praise it, "In the end, this Imperial City, is still a place where ordinary wealthy families can't even compare to."
Ling Er was even more surprised. When had she ever seen such a luxurious place, let alone live here?
"Wah!" Such a nice teapot, and it's even made of gold! " Ling Er ran to a red wooden table, and gasped in surprise while looking at the teapot in front of him.
"Big Brother Ling Xiao, you want some tea? I'll pour it for you." Ling Er asked cheerfully.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao could not help but laugh: "Sure."
After handing the tea-water over to Ling Xiao, Ling Er revealed his cute little canine teeth and looked at Ling Xiao.
"What? Why are you so happy today and so proactive? Could it be that you want to properly serve me?" Ling Xiao joked.
After hearing this, Ling Er's face couldn't help but turn red, and then she actually nodded and said, "That's right, I want to serve Big Brother Ling Xiao. After all, I saved everyone."
"Do you know how to serve her?" Hearing that, Ling Xiao's interest was piqued, he put down the tea bowl and hugged Ling Er.
Ling Er's face became even redder, and she said softly: "Of course I know, I had wanted to repay Big Brother Ling Xiao with my body for a long time."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao could not help but be taken aback, and asked. "How old are you, to know all this?"
"I am already fourteen years old this year! You can get married now! " Ling Er pouted.
