Chapter 93: Chapter 92 Going on Tour, Encountering Enemy

Translator: 549690339

Above the official road, the emperor’s carriage slowly trotted during his patrol.

Of course, such a long convoy could not move fast even if it wanted to.

From within a carriage at the rear of the imperial team, Pei Xuanjing sat cross-legged, circulating True Qi throughout his body, refining his Blood Qi over and over again.

The carriage moved steadily without the slightest shake.

This was a privilege of the powerful. Not only Pei Xuanjing, but each Third-grade martial artist would have an individual carriage assigned too.

Even though they were merely the emperor’s guards, they were not ordinary guards, so they naturally deserved different treatment.

Unknowingly, over a month had passed since they set out on this journey. However, due to the slow pace of the imperial carriage, they were still not too far from Tiandu, which also put all the high-level martial artists at ease and allowed them to continue their cultivation.

Even if assassins from the Mire Sect planned to attack, they would not choose such a location.

For people like Pei Xuanjing, they had not seen the emperor again ever since they were all summoned before the emperor at the beginning of their journey.

Pei Xuanjing had now been in Tiandu for nearly two years, and it was the first time he had seen the emperor in person.

A handsome visage, a robust physique, the emperor looked like a handsome middle-aged man.

However, this encounter had surprised Pei Xuanjing, because even though there was some distance between the emperor and him, he could still sense the profound martial arts cultivation of the emperor. Rumor has it that the emperor’s martial arts talent is outstanding, and he had already entered the Third-grade realm.

Then doubts arose.

Martial artists in the Upper Three Realms, even those at a quasi-master level, can generally live for two 60-year cycles.

However, Pei Xuanjing’s many simulations showed that the emperor would die when Pei Xuanjing was 33 years old, which meant that the current emperor of the Great Ming would live a maximum of only another ten years.

There was a conflict between these two predictions.

It seemed that there were many secrets behind this.

However, Pei Xuanjing was only aware of this but couldn’t mention it to others. So, he just temporarily repressed this doubt.

Apart from this doubt, Pei Xuanjing felt quite good about this outing. Besides having to ride in the carriage every day, the rest was not much different from practicing at the Martial Academy.

“Brother Pei.”

A voice came from outside the carriage.

Pei Xuanjing opened his eyes and replied: “Brother Lin, come in!”

Then the curtain was lifted, and Lin Qingyi got into the carriage.

As the emperor’s personal troops, the Brocade Guards naturally accompanied the emperor on this outing.

And the commanding officer who temporarily took charge of the Brocade Guards was Jiang Bin, a favorite of the emperor.

With the merit of capturing the Yin Office previously, Lin Qingyi had his wish fulfilled, removed the word “vice” from his title, became a fully-fledged thousand -member commander of the Brocade Guards, and participated in this escort mission.

As a thousand-member commander of the Brocade Guards, he did not need to toil like the other ordinary Brocade Guards. He had a lot of autonomy.

In the past month, he frequently visited Pei Xuanjing, partly to pass the time and partly to learn martial arts from him.

So Pei Xuanjing was not surprised by Lin Qingyi’s arrival.

Lin Qingyi came in carrying a food box. He began setting the food and wine from the box and said, “This is food and wine sent by a local official. Although it’s not as exotic as the delicacies in Tiandu, it has its own unique flavor. Mr. Jiang suggested that I bring it for you, Brother Pei, to taste.” “Please thank Mr. Jiang for me.” Pei Xuanjing nodded.

This was not the first time, similar situations had occurred many times during their journey.

Both men chatted idly while enjoying their food and drink.

Lin Qingyi began casually, “In the past few days, I’ve often seen Eunuch Zha from Xi Factory looking for you, Brother Pei. Is he being bothersome? Do you need me or Mr. Jiang to step in?”

“Hmm?” Pei Xuanjing, holding his wine glass, gave Lin Qingyi a meaningful glance and shook his head, “No, there’s nothing. He just mentioned that Supervisor Gu wanted to meet me, but I dismissed him with an excuse.”

That Zha Xiaobo had frequently visited during this time, about the same as what Lin Qingyi was doing, showing goodwill and trying to win Pei Xuanjing’s favor for unknown reasons.

However, Pei Xuanjing didn’t have much interest in interacting with him, so he made up an excuse to get rid of him.

But Zha seemed to be quite persistent. Despite being rejected by Pei Xuanjing several times, he still seemed to not give up.

Lin Qingyi was evidently aware of this, and deliberately brought it up.

However, Pei Xuaniine did not need his intervention. After all, ignoring it would simDlv solve the problem. Who knows if Jiang Bin’s intervention would cause other changes?

Seeing that Pei Xuanjing declined, Lin Qingyi did not persist.

Pei Xuanjing took the initiative to ask, “How has Brother Lin’s martial arts cultivation been during this period? Have you recognized any true meanings of martial arts? ”

Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s inquiry, Lin Qingyi shook his head with a bitter smile, “Nothing has been gained. I have no talent in martial arts. I’ve planned to ask Mr. Jiang to help me become a quasi-grandmaster after returning from this trip.”

That’s the difference in their levels and pursuits.

For most martial artists, it would be a blessing to break through to the Upper Three Realms, even as a

quasi-grandmaster.

As for Lin Qingyi, with the Brocade Guards as his backing and the support of Jiang Bin, unless it was necessary, he would not choose to break through in this way.

Pei Xuanjing continued to eat without further comment.

He brought up this topic just to change the subject and in terms of Lin Qingyi’s choice, he didn’t give his views. After all, it’s a personal choice.

Had it not been for the help of the life simulator, even the opportunity to become a quasi-grandmaster would have been a great fortune for his old self.

Lin Qingyi also chuckled, “Maybe I’ll get lucky on this trip and grasp the true meaning of martial arts. After all, no one can be sure about this.”

Pei Xuanjing laughed, “Then I’ll wish Brother Lin good luck.”

“Thank you, Brother Pei.” Lin Qingyi also raised his glass with a smile.

However, before they could take a sip of wine, both suddenly changed their expressions.

Woohoo!

Because at this moment, a horn sound rang out, this continuous horn sound conveyed only one message: enemy attack, warning!

Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but sigh, “It seems we can’t drink this wine for now.”

“Brother Pei, sit tight, I will go check out the situation.” Lin Qingyi quickly put down his wine glass and hurriedly left the carriage.

Watching Lin Qingyi leave, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help thinking, “Wow, that slap came fast.” He had just said that since they were not far from Tiandu, there wouldn’t be any assassins, and now a warning had been issued, as if there were indeed assassins.

He also put down his glass, slowly opened the curtain of the carriage window, and cast his eyes into the distance.

Gazing into the distance, given Pei Xuanjing’s eyesight, he could naturally see that hundreds of yards away, silhouettes of people clad in black, brandishing their weapons, were starting to appear.

He picked up his long sword by his side and slowly got off the carriage..
