"Yu Qianye, have you found the Noble Sword?”
In the royal palace, Emperor Daming was looking at the humble eunuch in front of him. In just three years, he had gone from an unremarkable eunuch in the royal study to the Emperor's favorite. He was even in charge of the terrifying East Chamber. This eunuch was definitely not simple.
At the very least, the eunuch in front of him could replace Feng Yuan's position within three years. His resourceful methods made most people in the Imperial Capital not dare to easily offend him.
Even if it was an ordinary East Hall, Jinyiwei, and officialdom, they would not easily offend them. Otherwise, even if they were charged with a crime, they would be disgusted to death even if they did not kill them.
As for the little eunuch in front of him, Emperor Daming was very satisfied with his work efficiency.
"Which one did you find? He is in a manor beside Xuanwu Lake. It is nominally an industry under the Salt Gang. All these years, he has been living in seclusion and refining pills.”
Noble Sword!
After three years of silence in the pugilistic world, the Noble Sword's sharpness was still terrifying. Even Feng Qingyang did not die, not to mention the Noble Sword that had reached the Connate stage. No matter how short his lifespan was, he would definitely not die for at least twenty years.
Therefore, for the next 20 years, no one would be able to shake Gentleman Sword's position in Jianghu.
Retreat?
Retreat with a single sentence, and similarly, he could leave the mountain with a single sentence. Thus, Emperor Daming had spent the past three years searching for this expert.
In the past few years, the Ming Emperor had ordered the East Chamber and the Brocade Guard to gather dozens of first-class experts in Jianghu. When these people practiced, the Daming Emperor knew how terrifying these experts were. It was easy for them to fight against a hundred alone.
These hundred people were not ordinary people, but the experts of the Imperial Court's Embroidered Uniform Guards. In the eyes of the Great Ming Emperor, they were considered powerful Embroidered Uniform Guards, but in the eyes of these people, they were simply unable to withstand a single blow.
Therefore, Emperor Daming had been searching for Jun Yue's whereabouts all these years. After all, he was the world's number one expert. If he could recruit him, the so-called Jianghu forces would not be a threat.
"Seclusion to refine pills?"
Upon hearing the little eunuch's words, the Great Ming Emperor looked at the little eunuch in confusion. He knew about the art of alchemy, but since the Tang and Song Dynasties, alchemy was no longer popular. Many emperors had died from poisoning. Even in the Tang Dynasty, at least six emperors had died from pill poison.
The dream of immortality was illusory!
" Yes, it's said that Gentleman Sword's inner force cultivation is extremely high, and it's rare in the world. Huashan also belongs to Taoism, and the Violet Cloud Divine Art he cultivates is also from Taoism. Taoism pays attention to health preservation and alchemy, so even if Gentleman Sword is already in his forties, rumors say that he only looks like he's in his twenties.”
Emperor Daming had heard of this long ago. When he heard about the art of alchemy, he was still full of doubts. After all, what was the art of alchemy? Most of the people in Jianghu were just charlatans.
"This Gentleman Sword is really ambitious!”
Ambition?
After becoming the world's number one, he actually wanted to live forever. The Great Ming Emperor naturally felt that Jun Yue's ambition was beyond his control, but he immediately looked at the little eunuch and said,"
"Do you have the confidence to invite Gentleman Sword here?”
"Your Majesty, besides Yue Lingshan, who is now the wife of Mount Hua's Sect Master, Gentleman Sword has two sons and a daughter. They are the children of a few concubines by his side. Therefore, he had already taken root in Jinling. If he was invited, he probably wouldn't refuse. After all, he wasn't alone now.”
Two sons and one daughter!
Jun Yue was almost fifty years old, and he still had a son. Even the Bright Emperor envied him. He was only in his twenties, but his body was already weak, and he only had a few princes.
He had at least a hundred concubines in his harem while Jun Yue only had three or four concubines.
"Alright then, you go and meet the Martial Marquis!”
The title of Marquis Shenwu was specially bestowed by the Ming Emperor in order to win Jun Yue over. It was not a simple thing to be conferred the title of Marquis. A general's achievements would lead to the death of thousands of people. Even if some people had been guarding the border for decades, they might not be able to enter the ranks of Rank-3 and Rank-6, let alone the title of Marquis, even if it was just a title!
But at this moment, the Great Ming Emperor thought that this was a well-deserved position. In his eyes, the position of Marquis Shenwu was originally reserved for virtuous people. This was specially set up for the royal family to worship. At least Jun Yue had the ability to get such a position.
Especially since it was not hereditary. One had to know that the titles of the founding fathers were all hereditary. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang had killed many of them back then. After all, when the cunning rabbit died, the lackey was cooked!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The young eunuch's eyes glinted. If Jun Yue hadn't exposed himself, how could they have found him?
Although Jun Yue's villa was a place with many tourists, it was hidden in the city. Jun Yue didn't go out every day, so no one knew where he was.
Jinling Jun Manor!
Ever since he had retired, Jun Yue had resumed his original name and called himself Jun Yue to the outside world, getting rid of Yue Buqun's title.
In everyone's eyes, Jun Yue was using his surname to cover his tracks. At least, no one would be able to recognize Jun Yue now that he was in Jiangling.
Jun Yue would always dye his hair black if he went out. In the past three years, he had been using some secret medical methods to repair the lack of nutrients in his hair, changing his hair from the root. Therefore, even if he didn't dye his hair, he was still black.
Without his dazzling white hair as a symbol, Jun Yue was just a fine young master. Who would think that he was an existence that could make the people of the martial world pale at the mention of him?
Looking at the sparkling Xuanwu Lake, the family gathered happily. At this time, Jun Yue did not expect that he would have an heir in this world. At least he had inherited Yue Buqun's body and had already entered the forties.
The two sons were Yan Yan and Ren Yingying's. The youngest daughter was Ren Yingying's second child!
In the past three years, Jun Yue had accompanied them often. His sons were less than two years old, and his youngest daughter was only ten months old.
It was a rare sight for the whole family to be happy together. Even the women were glad that Jun Yue had chosen to live in seclusion back then. They were free and unfettered, and there were no fights in the martial world. What else could they be dissatisfied with?
However, Jun Yue's calm lake was a sign that a storm was coming.
"Young Master, Young Master!"
A hurried voice was heard. Jun Yue looked at the old man who was rushing in. The old man looked to be in his seventies or eighties. He had white hair and a white beard, but his legs were very agile. Even an adult would not be able to outrun him. He was the butler of this mansion.
This butler was no ordinary person. He was the Green Bamboo Weng outside the green bamboo forest in Luoyang. Ren Yingying followed Jun Yue here, and so did the Green Bamboo Weng. As for Qu Fei Yan, she had gone to Mount Hua to live with her grandfather, to take care of the two old people in their old age.
After all, with the current reputation of Mount Hua, if Jun Yue hadn't said that he would imprison the two of them in Mount Hua for the rest of their lives, even if they were released, no one in the martial world would say anything. They would only say that Mount Hua was merciful and benevolent.
Now that Qu Fei Yan had gone up Mount Hua, no one dared to say anything. As for Mount Song, there had been people constantly provoking Mount Song in the past few years. Ding Mian was the only one who had been struggling to hold on. There were only a few of the Thirteen Gangsters left now. The others had all scattered like monkeys when the tree fell. There were not many who were truly loyal to Mount Song.
"Old Man Zhu, what's the big deal?”
"Young Master, it's the people from the East Chamber. Young Master, they want to see you!”
Of course, Green Bamboo Elder was not afraid of these people. Although he was old, he was still at the point where he could not move. He did not care about the people from the East Chamber at all.
But now that they had come to them, it meant that they were completely exposed. He was worried for Jun Yue's family. Although he knew that Jun Yue and the ladies 'martial arts had reached an extremely high level, it was still difficult for two fists to fight against four hands.
"Let them in. It's nothing.”
Jun Yue waved his hand, and Green Bamboo Elder immediately went to welcome the guests. He was only informing them, and when he found that the people from the East Chamber did not force their way in, Green Bamboo Elder heaved a sigh of relief.
"Heavenly Cloud of the East Chamber greets Divine Marquis!”
A master from the East Chamber came in and saw Jun Yue admiring the scenery of the Xuanwu Lake. He quickly bowed and said,"
This time, they had received the order to invite Marquis Shenwu to the capital for an audience. Naturally, none of them dared to act presumptuously. Not to mention Marquis Shenwu, but Jun Yue's reputation alone was enough for them to understand how terrifying this person was. They even looked at Jun Yue uneasily.
"I understand. I will set off to meet His Majesty in three days!”
"Since the Divine Marquis has decided, we will come back in three days to invite the Divine Marquis.”
They looked at Jun Yue's family and heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Jun Yue agreed, it would be fine.
Of course, they would keep an eye on this place for the next three days, afraid that Jun Yue would run away again. After all, Jun Yue was really a master in their eyes, and he wouldn't care about the Marquis's reward.
"Senior brother, I didn't expect the imperial court to find this place so quickly. What should we do? We'll leave tonight.”
Even the weakest among them was a top-tier expert. Any one of them could take care of any one of them within three moves, so no one could stop them if they wanted to leave.
"Forget it, I'll just go to the capital to take a look. I, Gentleman Sword, am not afraid of anyone, nor do I need to hide from anyone.”
Hearing Jun Yue's words, the four ladies sighed. That's right, Jun Yue's identity was enough to disdain even the emperor, so how could he hide? Moreover, they were living in seclusion, not criminals.
"But husband, you have to know that once you are involved in the court, all kinds of schemes will come out.”
"In the face of strength, all schemes are futile. I don't believe that they are cats and can have nine lives."
Since Jun Yue decided to expose himself, he naturally had his own plans. Besides, just like his current situation, he was now a family, not alone. He lived in seclusion in the fields, but it was impossible for his descendants to live in seclusion forever.
