On this day, everyone in the Imperial Capital woke up early and gathered at the city gate.
On the main road of the Imperial Capital, armored soldiers stood on both sides, blocking the crowds on the street. The surroundings were noisy, and everyone's eyes were focused on the city gate.
Soon, a group of people entered the city. Although they were still far away, everyone could feel a murderous aura, causing everyone to shut their mouths.
Immediately after, hundreds of large flags flew in the wind, and soldiers in armor walked into the city. The sound of metal echoed throughout the entire Imperial City.
The leader of the army was a middle-aged man wearing a helmet and riding a Red-toothed Demonic Tiger. His sharp gaze made everyone tremble as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast.
This person was none other than the number one expert in the Empire of Prosper Clouds, the triumphant general who guarded the border and suppressed the sects outside the pass, Zhang Hetian.
Immediately after, another ten prison carriages made of steel appeared. The prison carriages were covered in blood, and the pungent smell of blood made everyone frown.
At this moment, the prisoners in the prison carriage had their heads lowered. Each of them was bound by three layers of shackles. Even their bodies were inserted with three iron chains. As long as they moved slightly, they would feel unbearable pain, let alone escape.
Although the ten of them had weak auras, their identities were extremely prominent outside the pass. They were the Eight Great Hall Masters and the Vice Hall Masters of the White Bone Sect.
Among them, each of the Eight Great Hall Masters had the strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. The Sect Master and Vice Sect Master were even Martial Honored Realm experts. Any one of them was a big shot who could command the heavens, but now they could only be reduced to prisoners.
The sound of wheels rolling over the stone slabs of the Imperial Capital continued to ring out. After a short period of silence, the onlookers erupted into earth-shattering cheers.
They were always the most enthusiastic about the soldiers who returned victorious. It was precisely because of these soldiers that they could live and work in peace and contentment here. At the same time, it also proved that their country was strong and the people were sincerely proud.
The army did not change their expressions in the face of the cheers of the people. They marched forward in an orderly manner, and their goal was the distant Imperial Palace.
In the Imperial Palace.
A high platform had been set up in the square of the Heavenly Martial Sect. Colorful flags were planted all around. As the army arrived, it stirred up a storm, causing the colorful flags to dance in the wind.
The palace guards were lined up in an orderly manner, surrounding the entire square of the Heavenly Martial Sect. Each of them held a long horn in their hands.
At the very top, there was a white-haired old man in a dragon robe standing there with a smile. He looked at the army approaching him gently.
Not far from the old man, the Crown Prince Li Zijin, who was wearing a python robe, looked at the approaching army with a serious expression. On his right were Prince Ning, Li Sixuan, and the Third Prince, Li Fengzhu.
The civil and military officials on both sides cupped their hands. At the bottom, the Zhang family members were looking forward to it, especially Zhang Wenxuan and Zhang Yanyu, whose eyes were filled with excitement.
"Woo…"
"Dong dong dong…"
As soon as the army arrived at the Heavenly Martial Sect's square, the bugle horn and drum beats resounded throughout the entire Imperial City. Almost every household could hear them.
The army stopped, and the bugle horn stopped as well. Zhang Hetian took off his helmet and walked up to the high platform step by step. When he arrived in front of the Emperor, he immediately knelt on one knee.
"I! Zhang Hetian did not dishonor the divine order. He exterminated tens of thousands of White Bone Sect's people outside the pass, killed nearly a thousand of White Bone Sect's powerhouses who were Warrior Spirits and above, and captured the Eight Great Hall Masters and the Vice Hall Masters alive. He returned triumphantly!”
"Hahaha, good! Good! Good! Please get up quickly. Minister Zhang is indeed the pillar of the empire. With you, my country will be safe!”
Emperor Li Zeyun laughed loudly and hurriedly helped Zhang Hetian up. His words were full of praise.
Soon, some ceremonies were carried out in an orderly manner. Everyone was meticulous. Even the people watching outside had solemn expressions.
"The welcoming ceremony has ended. All officials, please move to the Lingyun Hall for a celebratory banquet!”Then, a eunuch's sharp voice rang out, resounding throughout the entire city.
……
Chu He sighed and opened his sleepy eyes. He just wanted to sleep in. It was early in the morning, and there were horns and drums. He was about to dream that he was fighting outside.
The last sharp sound shattered his dream of sleeping in, and he could only start a new day.
As usual, after washing up, Chu He went to the first floor. After instructing Du Changyun to open for business, he collapsed on the chair and continued to close his eyes.
Soon, two hours passed. Chu He opened his eyes again. After yawning, he looked at Du Changyun.”
Du Changyun shook his head. He knew what was going on. Those guests who used to come here often should be having a celebration banquet in the palace now. How could they have the time to come here?
"Boss, I brought enough money today.”Du Changyun was about to explain to Chu He when a person walked in. Chu He looked over and realized that it was the man in the bamboo hat who had come two days ago.
