"The Imperial Sword Manor with its tens of thousands of people was blown to bits!"
"That Celestial Thunder is also poisonous! I was several miles away and could still sll it..."
"There absolutely must be an Immortal Master who has pledged allegiance to the Imperial Court, and Your Majesty has found a true Immortal!"
"So terrifying...!"
Countless martial artists are fervently discussing the destruction of the Imperial Sword Manor, and many martial artists have quietly gone to the original site to investigate.
What they see is scattered devastation, with craters everywhere, and even the mountainside blackened by the explosion.
Only then did they truly believe it.
And over three thousand individuals, including swordsmiths and blacksmiths, were sent to the Capital City ten days later.
After consulting with Emperor Zhengyong, a decree was issued.
"All swordsmiths, blacksmiths, and others from the Imperial Sword Manor are demoted to official slaves and sent to the arsenal as slaves. Anyone who dares to escape will be executed without rcy!"
The addition of over three thousand swordsmiths and blacksmiths greatly enhanced the speed of manufacturing gunpowder and Thunderbolt at the arsenal.
Especially with the tallurgy Secret Manual, Zhan Liang and others quickly mastered advanced tallurgy techniques after studying it.
They then developed new steel, which also greatly increased the production speed of the Red Coat Cannon!
With the arrival of the grace selection and the implentation of the concubine candidate selection for Your Majesty, the Capital City was suddenly flooded with people.
Greatly increasing the pressure on law and order in the entire Capital City.
Even the Imperial Guard had to allocate so of their people to guard the city and maintain order in the Capital City.
Nanyue County.
In the wilderness, a convoy of carts composed of Baiyue Tribe mbers is winding its way toward the Capital City.
This is the Baiyue Tribe’s escort of the concubine candidate, Yue Chan.
As indigenous people of Nanyue County and one of the few ethnic groups that have voluntarily aligned themselves with Great Yu, the status of the Nanyue Race in the Great Yu Dynasty is very unique.
Many ministers in the Imperial Court look down on them, but they also can’t help but try to win over the Baiyue Tribe.
And the concubine candidate Yue Chan from the Baiyue Tribe doesn’t have to go through the initial selection and can be directly sent to the Imperial Palace after verification.
Her status far exceeds that of ordinary concubine candidates, and after entering the palace, her lowest rank would be that of a Lady.
She might even be conferred as a Noble Lady!
Inside the cart, a girl who appears to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, adorned with nurous silver ornants like a little elf, lifts the curtain and looks outside with great interest.
Beside her sits another lively maid.
"Sister, have we left Nanyue? I’m so nervous!"
Yue Chan smiled and said, "Of course, the High Priest already promised that I will beco the woman of the Emperor of Great Yu!"
"The Emperor of Great Yu..."
The maid Ani’s eyes sparkled as she said, "I wonder if the Emperor of Great Yu is handso? Is he tall? Is he fair-skinned?"
"How would I know?"
"And I heard the Emperor of Great Yu will marry hundreds of won, even more impressive than the Clan Leader uncle!"
"Humph!"
Yue Chan snorted playfully, "My man can only like alone!"
"If it really doesn’t work, I’ll use the Emotion Gu to control him, so that he only loves ..."
"Emotion Gu? But...but he’s the Emperor of Great Yu, the old priest said we must..."
"Stop!"
At this mont, a sound of horse hooves and loud shouts ca from the back of the convoy.
The maid, Ani, imdiately beca excited, "It’s General Xu! Sister, General Xu has co to find you!"
With that, she quickly poked her head out, "General Xu! We’re here, we’re here~!"
Soon, a fully ard troop swept past the convoy, stopping it in its tracks.
In the lead was a tall man clad in Xuan black armor.
This man appeared to be in his early twenties, with a calm look in his eyes, and a faint scar visible on his cheek.
Seeing Yue Chan’s cart, his gaze intensified, "Yue Chan! Co out! I have sothing to say to you."
"General Xuanwu."
A few monts later, Yue Chan gracefully disembarked and said, "I have already been betrothed to your Emperor by the old priest, please do not pester further."
"The Emperor? That consumptive ghost isn’t worthy of you!"
Xu Xuanwu’s gaze was fervent, "Yue Chan, would you agree to marry ? I’m willing to give up everything for you!"
"As long as you say yes, I’ll imdiately take you away to roam the world, wherever you want to go!"
"Aren’t you afraid of your Emperor?"
"The Emperor?"
Xu Xuanwu gritted his teeth and said, "As long as my father is there, that Emperor can’t do anything to ."
"The entire Great Yu Dynasty relies on my father now, who dares to stop ?!"
Yue Chan shook her head and still pursed her lips, "General Xuanwu, you already have one wife and three concubines, forgive Yue Chan for not marrying you."
"The person I will marry is the Emperor of Great Yu!"
"You..."
At this mont, another troop caught up to them.
Leading the way was none other than the Baiyue Tribe’s Clan Leader, Shuyue.
"General Xu! Why are you blocking my Baiyue Tribe’s convoy? Co back quickly, I still have to drink with you, hahahaha..."
"Shuyue..."
Xu Xuanwu grit his teeth, knowing that without his father, he was no match for Shuyue.
After a bout of entanglent, he could only watch as the cart escorting Yue Chan went further and further away.
Filled with rage but utterly powerless.
"Emperor, Emperor, brother-in-law of the Emperor...What if I were the Emperor?"
...
Inside Qiankun Hall.
Zheng Yi sat cross-legged in front of a Great Cauldron made entirely of precious jade.
This Great Cauldron was gray-white in color, more than a person tall, and about a zhang wide, extrely precious.
In the courtyard, the moonlight fell like flowing water, casting a moon-white frost over the entire land and Zheng Yi.
Even the surface of that Great Cauldron seed to be covered with patches of frost.
This Great Cauldron was offered by the Baiyue Tribe of Nanyue County, nad the ’Black Jade King Cauldron,’ made from special local jade of Nanyue County, and has the effect of warming and nourishing bloodlines.
