47. People without roots were also heartless!
It was still Chang 'an Fortress, a very secretive place.
A skinny, fair-skinned, handsome young man in a python robe was sitting on a chair and blowing on a teacup in his hand.
Her movements and stillness revealed her feminine charm, and her entire person emitted a cold aura.
"Report!"
"East Chamber's Factory Supervisor Cao Shaoqin requests an audience!"
The door was quickly opened, and a middle-aged man with white hair and wearing a python robe slowly walked in.
Behind him, there were several other men from the Little Yellow Gate who bowed respectfully.
"Yu Huatian! What do you mean? How dare you disregard His Majesty's order and come out here alone! Why? Do you want to compete with me for credit?"
The middle-aged eunuch, Cao Shaoqin, who was also the supervisor of the East Chamber, shouted loudly.
A few days ago, His Majesty received a secret letter from Imperial Uncle Sima, the owner of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa, stating that he had discovered the tomb of the First Emperor from a thousand years ago.
In order to obtain all the treasures buried in the First Emperor's tomb, His Majesty had ordered the Dragon Guard Mountain Villa, the Jinyiwei, and the Six Fan School to come forward and obtain them.
Secretly, he also ordered the people of the East Chamber to act in secret to ensure that all the treasures in the First Emperor's tomb were obtained.
However, he did not expect that as soon as Cao Shaoqin led the people of the East Hall to Chang 'an, the Governor of the West Hall, Yu Huatian, followed him.
This was obviously a violation of the emperor's order and a robbery!
"Cao Shaoqin, I have also received an imperial order to leave the palace and serve His Majesty. How can I steal credit?”
Yu Huatian took a sip of tea and said indifferently.
"Nonsense! His Majesty has only ordered the East Chamber to come forward. Your West Chamber has only just been established. What ability do you have to complete this mission for His Majesty?!”
Cao Shaoqin's eyes narrowed. He was not pleased with the West Branch Supervisor Yu Huatian no matter how he looked at him. He had only climbed into the bed of a noble consort, yet he was so arrogant. How dare he be arrogant in front of an old man?
"Dang dang dang dang…"
Yu Huatian did not say anything. Instead, he threw a token at Cao Shaoqin's feet.
"This token is Your Majesty's personal golden dragon jade pendant. Seeing it is like building Your Majesty…"
Before Yu Huatian could finish speaking, the little yellow door behind Cao Shaoqin knelt on the ground.
Even Cao Shaoqin's eyes shrank after seeing this, but he still half-knelt down unwillingly.
"The Golden Dragon Jade Pendant is worn by His Majesty. Seeing it is like seeing His Majesty. Yu Huatian…"
"Sigh, you have to call me Lady Rain!"
Yu Huatian said calmly. He blew on his tea again and did not let the kneeling person get up. Instead, he continued,
"I heard that the Embroidered Uniform Guards were originally subordinates of your East Hall. Why did they go to the Lord of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa this time?”
"You also know that without the cannon fodder of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, we don't have enough manpower…"
"Humph!"
Cao Shaoqin was furious when he saw that Yu Huatian did not allow him to get up, but the golden dragon jade pendant was in front of him. However, he could only say angrily,
"That is His Majesty's Imperial Uncle, and His Majesty has personally promised to let the Embroidered Uniform Guards listen to his orders. I'm just a servant of the royal family. How can I pull teeth from a tiger's mouth?”
"If Lady Yu has the guts, you can go to the Divine Marquis and ask for the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Tiger Tally…"
"Humph!"
Before Cao Shaoqin could finish his words, Yu Huatian snorted coldly. A cold and gloomy aura assaulted his face, reflecting his extremely profound inner force cultivation.
"What your East Branch can do, my West Branch can do too. What your East Branch doesn't dare to do, my West Branch dares to do too!”
"Act first and report later! Imperial authority! Even if the Divine Marquis was His Majesty's Imperial Uncle, he could not surpass His Majesty!”
Feeling Yu Huatian's deep inner strength and the golden dragon jade pendant in front of him, Cao Shaoqin could only kneel on the ground and say in a shrill voice,"Lord Yu is right, we are also working for His Majesty, why should we divide the East and West Halls…"
"Get up, Lord Cao. People who don't know might think that you're paying your respects to me. I can't afford to…"
Cao Shaoqin stood up with a sullen expression and suppressed his anger.""Yes, Lord Yu."
"There's something fishy about this matter. The Demon Cult actually used the tomb of the First Emperor to trade with our Imperial Court.”
Yu Huatian put down the teacup and said calmly.
"I heard from the Divine Marquis that the new leader of the Demonic Sect wants to obtain the cultivation method of the First Emperor from a thousand years ago. He must still be dreaming of ascending in the daytime!”
Cao Shaoqin sneered and said.
As people from the imperial court, they looked down on martial artists and even hated them.
Even if he was the Demon Cult Master, it was the same.
"Humph! Ascending in broad daylight was just a legend. How could it be so easy? I didn't expect that the Dao of Heaven, which has been passed down for thousands of years, would be destroyed by this young cult master…"
Yu Huatian slowly stood up, ignoring Cao Shaoqin's unsightly expression as he leisurely walked out of the door.
"Lord Cao, I hope that you can lead your men to Lintong County as soon as possible, seal off the gates, close the yamen, and mobilize the garrison. Seal off all the mountain entrances up and down Mount Li for me.”
"This…is!"
Cao Shaoqin looked at the golden dragon jade pendant that was still on the ground and said aggrievedly.
"May I know if Lady Yu wants to go?"
"Me? Of course, I have to meet that Imperial Uncle…"
