Chapter 750 Besides His Majesty, who can command you?
Since they decided to keep these old men, the group naturally had a very pleasant conversation.
As for the young disciples standing behind them, they could only smile and agree. In such a high-level situation, they couldn't even get a word in edgewise.
However, seeing Jia Daoshi, who was also young but could talk eloquently and passionately with his elders, the young disciples were filled with envy. Moreover, it was as if a fire was ignited in their hearts, and each of them suddenly had a new goal!
That is to become a person like the Imperial City Guard, Jatis!
Jia Daoshi learned a lot from chatting with the older generation. Time passed by unnoticed, and before he knew it, the sun had set.
During this time, Shen Li did not interrupt.
Because she also knew that Jia Daoshi was the head of the family, and in such situations, the head of the family could speak.
She listened quietly from the side, occasionally jotting down useful information.
"Gentlemen, it's time for dinner. Please join us for dinner. Tonight, we'll chat and drink together!"
Now that Shen Li is the mistress of the city lord's mansion, she naturally has to arrange these things properly.
"Haha! Thank you very much, Madam!"
Here, the old men would not address Shen Li as the Prince of Zhenbei, but rather as his wife.
The banquet that Jia Daoshi used to entertain these old monsters was, of course, extremely lavish, with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and the way they were cooked opened the eyes of these old men!
They never imagined that food could be cooked like this!
The dinner party was a great success, with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves.
Everyone had a very high opinion of Jia Daoshi, and their evaluation of him was very high.
If chaos ensues and turmoil arises, they will surely follow Jia Daoshi!
With Grand Tutor Shen around, and with Jia Daoshi's unparalleled combat prowess, astonishing wealth, and various powerful methods, they felt that their future was secure!
By the time the old men had all left with smiles on their faces, Jia Daoshi had already drunk quite a bit.
There was no way around it. These old monsters usually lived in seclusion and had nothing to do but drink and play chess. They were all wine connoisseurs. Even with Jia Daoshi's physical condition, he felt he couldn't handle drinking several hundred catties of good wine!
Before the old wine connoisseurs had all left, Jia Daoshi used his Dragon Elephant True Qi to neutralize the alcohol in his body.
"My lord, this is plum juice, please have some."
Shen Li had already asked Rouya to prepare sour plum soup, and after serving it, she handed it to Jia Daoshi with a gentle expression.
"OK."
In this kind of weather, drinking sour plum juice is indeed a kind of enjoyment. Jia Daoshi took it and drank it down in one gulp.
The sour and sweet, icy-cold plum juice made me feel much better after drinking it.
"How's it going? Is it okay?"
Shen Li looked gentle.
Jia Daoshi nodded: "Not bad, not bad, it tastes delicious!"
Shen Li smiled and said, "Rouya saw you drinking so much wine and knew you must want some plum juice, so she specially made some for you."
"That little girl Rouya is quite thoughtful."
Jia Daoshi nodded.
A playful glint appeared in Shen Li's eyes: "Of course, she's my maid, and according to our customs, she's also a concubine. My lord, when do you think we should take her in?"
"Ah Li! Are you itchy again?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi raised an eyebrow and said irritably.
Shen Li, however, said earnestly, "My lord, I'm not joking. Rouya can only be yours for life. If you don't take her in, she'll be heartbroken. Besides, her heart already belongs to you."
Jia Daoshi: "..."
In fact, Jia Daoshi didn't really like this custom. Everyone should have their own ideas and be able to decide their own destiny.
However, Shen Li didn't let Jia Daoshi say those words. She snorted and said, "My lord, this is between you and Rouya. Find some time to have a good talk with her."
"Don't let the little girl wait in vain."
As she spoke, Shen Li slightly turned her head to the side.
Jia Daoshi then looked towards the doorway.
Outside the door, a slightly bewildered-looking young girl had appeared at some point.
.........
The Great Jing Capital.
The aura of royalty is palpable!
Every royal capital has its own imperial aura.
Even the buildings here are incredibly magnificent!
Previously, this would definitely have been the safest, most prosperous, and most reassuring place in Dajing.
Because it is the emperor's residence, with the strongest armed forces of the Great Jing Dynasty stationed there, who would dare to act recklessly?
But it’s different now!
The entire capital city seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds!
The rain is coming from the wind!
The once bustling Central Avenue is now deserted, with shops closed and few pedestrians on the street. Even when they are, they walk very quickly.
The Empress's passing was truly too sudden!
Although it has been decided that the eldest prince will succeed to the throne, he is still in his fiefdom of Donghai City and has not yet returned.
Moreover, all indications suggest that the eldest prince is not particularly enthusiastic about inheriting the throne.
It was originally a power struggle among nine princes, with numerous factions in the court. If things didn't get chaotic now, when would they?
While the eldest prince was still on his way back, several major events had already occurred in the capital!
First, the Imperial Guards imposed martial law on the entire capital without authorization, taking over the duties of the Nine Gates Guards, allowing everyone to enter but not leave.
Then, the Minister of War, who was in charge of the capital region's military camp, was attacked by assassins in the middle of the night and was seriously injured and unconscious.
His two sons, who were stationed at the Gyeonggi military headquarters, were also seriously injured and could only recuperate at home.
The emperor's brother-in-law, Chow Yun-fat, led 20,000 troops back to Beijing in an attempt to stabilize the situation!
As a result, he was assassinated again outside the capital by a mysterious expert, and just like the Minister of War, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma!
Moreover, even Zhou Dapeng and Zhou Junru, who were traveling with them, were injured!
In this situation, without a leader, the army naturally struggles to achieve anything!
There was unrest in the capital region headquarters, and no one could be mobilized, so the Imperial Guards were left to run amok.
"Outrageous! Who gave you permission to seal the city gates!"
The white-haired Left Prime Minister went straight to the Commander of the Imperial Guard and gave him a severe dressing-down.
There was no other way. The capital city couldn't be allowed to run rampant like this. It was the center of the Great Jing Dynasty. If the center was in chaos, wouldn't the rest of the country follow suit?
The Dragon Guard Commander's face was sprayed with spittle, but he remained as still as a statue, showing no reaction whatsoever.
The Left Prime Minister, named Ruan Zhaoxiang, was even more furious when he saw that the Grand Commander in front of him remained unmoved, and he launched into another tirade of abuse.
Only after he had finished cursing did the Grand Commander speak up, saying, "Prime Minister Ruan, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just following orders."
"So you're just 'following orders,' huh? I'd like to ask you, besides His Majesty, who can command you? Commander Huang!!"
Although Yuen Siu-cheung is over seventy years old, he usually reads books to cultivate his inner strength and practices some health exercises and Five Animal Frolics. He is very healthy and speaks with a strong voice.
Even though the Grand Commander himself was a master of the Vajra Realm, he could only listen obediently to Ruan Zhaoxiang at this moment.
Forget about hitting me, I wouldn't even be able to talk back!
