The selection of talents spread all over the world, from Annan in the south to Mohe in the north, to Gansu in the west, and to Mount Tai in the east.
Each county selected beautiful women.
However, each county was limited to three people…
Bai Muxue had also started to study the rules of etiquette in Chuxiu Palace. She was the Emperor's first concubine, so she was the only one who could teach the beautiful ladies the rules of etiquette!
……
Five days later.
In the capital.
A troop of more than a thousand soldiers slowly advanced toward the capital.
Although there weren't many elite soldiers, each of them exuded an invisible killing intent.
Anyone with eyes could tell at a glance that these soldiers must have been through many years of killing to develop such a cold killing intent.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment of these soldiers were very different from those of the other soldiers in the capital.
They even went straight for the Great Ming's trump card army, the Three Thousand Battalion, the Five Barracks, and the Divine Arms Battalion.
There were only 2,000 people, but they included many soldiers.
The cavalrymen were in front, their heads held high and their warhorses were incomparably tall.
The spear in his hand was made of refined iron and was extremely sharp.
Under the sunlight, it emitted a cold chill.
Among them, the handgun squad walked steadily, each person carrying a sufficient number of gunpowder pouches at their waists.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the gazes of these soldiers were constantly paying attention to their surroundings.
If there was any movement, these soldiers would be able to counterattack in the shortest time possible.
Behind the muskets were the infantry.
The shields in their hands were as tall as half a person, and their left hands were holding heavy spears. Their footsteps were sonorous and powerful.
One had to know that these people had come from afar and were walking.
However, at such a distance, their breathing was steady and they did not show any signs of fatigue.
If such an army was dragged into the battlefield, it would be enough to resist an army of more than 10,000 people.
In fact, it was not impossible for them to have a 50 - 50 chance of winning against the other party!
And in such an army, there was an extremely ugly general.
Although he was ugly, his intimidating aura gave people a sense of oppression that was like a mountain.
The dark red armor looked like flowing blood under the sunlight, filled with a violent and murderous aura.
Just one glance was enough to make one feel as if they had fallen into an endless sea of blood.
When this army appeared on the streets of the capital, the cries of children rang out.
The Great General of Terror, Ling Luoshi, coldly scanned the capital.
He seemed to be very satisfied with the reactions of the surrounding people.
"Have you informed His Majesty of my arrival in the capital?”
"Reporting to the Great General," the deputy general respectfully replied,"a deputy general has already reported to His Majesty."”
"However, this subordinate does not know why there are no officials to welcome you.”
The Great General of Terror, Ling Luoshi, frowned slightly when he heard this.
However, he did not comment too much on it.
Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses could be heard in the distance.
The soldiers who were originally marching also slowed down their pace.
When Ling Luoshi looked ahead, a horse was rushing over at full speed.
And the person riding on this fast horse was the supervisor of the East Chamber of Great Ming, Cao Zhengchun!
Cao Zhengchun?!"
Ling Luoshi stared at it and pondered in his heart.
Ling Luoshi had long heard of Cao Zhengchun's name.
He had come into contact with him in the capital.
However, after he was stationed at the border town, he had long forgotten about this person.
Seeing him today, Ling Luoshi also showed a look of importance.
He had heard that Cao Zhengchun had cultivated the Heavenly Constellation Boy Technique, the Myriad Rivers Return to the Sea, and the Vajra Body Protection. He had long reached the realm of great success.
In terms of strength, he was already on par with him.
Today, Cao Zhengchun had come alone to welcome him, and his intentions were worth pondering.
Just as Ling Luoshi was thinking this, Cao Zhengchun appeared in front of the army on horseback.
"Governor Cao has come personally. This General is truly surprised!”Ling Luoshi laughed loudly.
Cao Zhengchun jumped off his horse and said with a feminine smile,""Great General, you praise me too much. Great General, you guard the border town and have a great reputation!”
"It's reasonable for me to come personally.”
"Haha ~"
Ling Luoshi and Cao Zhengchun laughed out loud at the same time.
"Governor Cao, may I know where His Majesty is?”Ling Luoshi said sharply.
Cao Zhengchun was stunned. He suddenly understood the Emperor's plan.
Ling Luoshi had been guarding the border for many years and had long developed an arrogant and despotic character.
In fact, today's debriefing in the capital was probably just to test whether the Emperor really had the true strength to control Great Ming.
No wonder His Majesty had made such arrangements.
However! Cao Zhengchun had long developed the ability to keep his emotions to himself. When Ling Luoshi asked, he replied indifferently,""His Majesty has already led the civil and military officials to the hunting ground in the western suburbs to wait for the arrival of the Great General.”
"I'll also welcome the soldiers. Great General, come with me!”
Ling Luoshi's face lit up when he heard this. He nodded repeatedly and said,""Alright, alright. Thank you for troubling me, Supervisor Cao!"
"Great General is too polite!"
"Please!"
Under Cao Zhengchun's lead, Ling Luoshi rushed towards the hunting grounds in the western suburbs.
The 2,900 town soldiers were arranged to be stationed in the military field outside the capital.
……
Western Hunting Ground.
Zhu Houzhao was waiting calmly under the tent.
The civil and military officials on the left and right sides were discussing in low voices. They were both afraid and angry at this terrifying general.
However! There was one thing that the ministers had not figured out for a long time. Usually, His Majesty was intimidating the world and decisive in killing. Why had he become so easy to talk to today?
For a moment, all the officials looked at the Emperor on the platform.
When the officials saw the faint smile on the Emperor's lips, they were shocked.
Thinking back, when the Emperor wiped out the Jurchen in Jianzhou, he seemed to have revealed this kind of smile.
Could it be…
The officials 'hearts were filled with wild thoughts, but they were already relieved by the arrival of this terrifying general.
Since His Majesty was so calm and collected, he must have a way to deal with it.
Coupled with the Emperor's indistinct smile, the arrival of the Great General of Fear this time would probably cause them to suffer.
Just as the officials were thinking about this, a bugle call suddenly sounded outside the hunting grounds in the western suburbs.
"Great General Terrifying has arrived!"
The moment he spoke, all the officials turned their gazes over.
At the entrance of the large passageway, the Great General of Fear was walking forward alone in his military uniform.
The imposing manner that came from the absence of wind shocked the officials in the court from afar.
In fact, many of the ministers were so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground.
"This subject, Great General Ling Luoshi, greets Your Majesty. Your Majesty, greetings!”
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said,""Zhen An!"
"Rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When Ling Luoshi stood up, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said,""Great General has been guarding the border all year round to ensure the safety of the people of Great Ming.”
"Today, the Great General has returned to the capital to report on his work. Zhen is very happy!”
Ling Luoshi cupped his hands and said,"This is my duty. It should be like this."”
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said in a clear voice,"Today, the Great General has returned to the capital to report on his work. Zhen has specially prepared a good program for the Great General!”
"I hope that Great General can properly appraise it!”
