C89 Baptism

Yun Hong saw all the ministers kneeling down and thought that since Zi Xuan was giving him face, he had to give him face too. He couldn’t let him lose face in front of so many people.

So, he walked out from his seat and knelt down on the ground.

He had been out for 13 years and was used to being unrestrained. He was tired of rules and etiquette, but he didn’t want Long Zixuan to break some rules because of this.

He bent his knees, but he couldn’t kneel down no matter what. It was as if there was an invisible force that stopped his movements. Yun Hong didn’t know what was going on.

At this moment, Long Zixuan had walked over from afar. He raised his palm and Yun Hong straightened his body. It was also at this moment that Yun Hong realized that he was right. There was indeed a powerful force that stopped him from kneeling. And that force came from Long Zixuan.

Looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground, Yun Hong suddenly felt extremely complicated. This Zi Xuan kid was indeed different from him. What did he do to deserve to be treated so differently by him?

“Grandpa Yun, Zi Xuan can’t accept your bow. In the future, don’t be like this when you see Zi Xuan.”

Feng Yu and Yun Yixuan’s eyes fell on Long Zixuan who was walking in front of Yun Hong. The two of them had strange expressions. This Long Zixuan had really taken the wrong medicine today. Not long ago, when they met him on the way to the palace, he had called Yun Hong General Yun. In such a short time, he had changed from General Yun to Grandpa Yun.

Why didn’t they realize that this man was so familiar?

It wasn’t just the two of them who felt weird. Even the Nine Li Darkness and the ministers all felt that the world had turned red. The Chief of the Military Department had suddenly changed his attitude.

He always acted arrogant, domineering, and proud. He felt that all the living beings should kneel before him. When did he feel that he couldn’t accept others’ kowtows?

Many people saw the conversation between the Chief of the Military Department and the General’s Estate on the way. It had already spread privately that the General’s Estate and the Chief of the Military Department had some unknown relationship. However, most people who didn’t see it with their own eyes still didn’t believe it.

They knew the Chief of the Military Department’s character very well. If he didn’t put anyone in his eyes, how could he take a fancy to the General’s Estate? However, when they saw this scene, everyone had to believe it.

They started to feel jealous of the General’s Estate’s luck. However, they couldn’t help but feel fearful. In the future, even if they offended the Emperor, they couldn’t offend the General’s Estate.

If they angered the Emperor, perhaps he would still give them a chance because they had made great contributions to the Hao Yuan Empire. However, if they offended the Chief of the Military Department, this person was extremely evil. He was emotionless and unfaithful. When that time came, even their nine clans wouldn’t be able to live in peace.

The ministers all made a decision in their hearts. In the future, they definitely couldn’t offend the General’s Estate.

Yun Hong saw that Long Zixuan was giving him face in front of so many people. He didn’t know what to say anymore. He nodded and patted Long Zixuan’s shoulder. The love he had for him was even greater.

Bei Ming Jiu Li was surprised by this. Didn’t the Chief not allow others to touch him? Even if his daughter touched him, he would cut off her wrist. Now, he wanted to see what reaction he would have.

Who knew that Long Zixuan’s charming face was as normal as usual. He didn’t seem to be afraid at all. It was as if he was a freak who cut off someone’s wrist after touching him.

“It seems that General Yun has a good relationship with Chief Long?”

The highest seat in the throne, Bei Ming Jiu Li’s expression was as normal as usual. It was so dark that no one could see his emotions. Yun Hong turned to look at him and was thinking about how to answer this question.

The so-called ‘holy will’ was hard to predict. Every word of the emperor had a deeper meaning. However, before he could speak, the evil man had already taken away this hot potato.

He smiled and looked at the emperor sitting at the highest seat. There was no fear on his charming face. He said with an evil voice that was not a smile, “Your majesty, I just met Grandpa Yun. I just feel that I am in a good relationship with Grandpa Yun, so I am a little more enthusiastic. Oh right, Your majesty, you called me here to attend the palace banquet. The banquet can start now.”

Bei Ming Jiu Li glanced at Yun Hong and then looked at the kneeling officials. He was a little embarrassed. “It can start now. But Chief Long, the officials are still kneeling.”

Long Zixuan glanced at the officials and said in a cynical tone, “It turns out that you are still kneeling. I am in the wrong. I forgot about you. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise and sit.”

The officials were cursing in their hearts. ‘Fuck, how transparent are we? Why did you forget about us when we are kneeling on the ground?’

Although they were full of confidence, the fact was that they were not brave enough. Although they were angry, they dared not to say anything. They said ‘Thank you, Master’ and then sat down carefully.

Feng Yu was speechless. This Long Zixuan was really arrogant. He could make so much hatred. However, these officials were not brave enough. They wanted to curse, yet they had to say ‘thank you, Master’.

A bunch of weaklings.

After everyone sat down, Long Zixuan walked to the highest seat elegantly. The two young men in red robes followed him. They walked to the side of Beiming Jiuli. The two young men took out a purple chair and then the handsome man walked down elegantly.

This seat…

Feng Yu sighed in her heart. He was really arrogant. The seat was only one inch lower than the Queen. It was much higher than the Crown Prince. The moment he sat down, Feng Yu saw the Crown Prince’s face stiffen. A flash of jealousy and hatred passed through his eyes.

The corners of her mouth curled up. It was interesting. The Crown Prince was unhappy that Long Zixuan was sitting higher than him. Sigh, it was a pity that he had to endure it no matter how unhappy he was.

On the other hand, Ninth Li didn’t seem to be worried at all.

Feng Yu was puzzled. It was said that a country could not have two emperors and a mountain couldn’t have two tigers. Both of them were males. If Ninth Li saw that there was someone who was more majestic than him in the hearts of the people, he wouldn’t have any thoughts.

Just as she was thinking about it, Ninth Li’s voice suddenly sounded. He stood up and walked to the front of the stage. He looked at Yun Hong and then at the ministers. He said in a dignified voice.

“My beloved subjects, today’s palace banquet is specially held for General Yun. Although he has been retired for thirteen years, I believe that all of you have heard of his heroic deeds.”

“He joined the army at the age of fourteen and fought for more than thirty years. He could be said to have lived his life on the battlefield. He was injured many times and was stained with blood on the battlefield. However, he fought bravely and killed enemies thousands of miles away to expand the territory of Hao Yuan and protect the country. He made great contributions…”

“Thirteen years ago, Second Young Master Yun of the Yun Family disappeared. The Crown Prince missed him and had to take up the responsibility. He went out to look for his son. He didn’t return for thirteen years. I was worried about him. Now that he has returned, I held this palace banquet to welcome him. Now, my beloved subjects, please drink with me.”

Nine Lights turned around and picked up the wine cup on the table. He looked at Yun Hong and all the ministers immediately said, “Your Majesty is wise.” Then, they all looked at Yun Hong and said, “We, the ministers, respect you, General Yun.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty and all the lords, for your kindness. I am ashamed.”

Yun Hong stood up and picked up the wine cup. His eyes were red. It could be seen that what Nine Lights said just now had touched him greatly.

He was sixty-two years old and had retired for thirteen years. He had served in the army for fourteen years and had been on the battlefield for thirty-five years. He had lost count of how much sweat and blood he had shed. If it wasn’t for the fact that Yun Zhan Tian was unlucky and was missing, he would still be serving Hao Yuan.

He had not done anything for the country for so many years. It was one of the regrets in his heart.

“General Yun, you don’t need to feel ashamed. Everyone, please.”

Nine Lights raised his head and drank after he finished speaking. The others followed his actions and drank. Nine Lights turned around and sat down. He looked at Feng Yu and said, “Little girl, are you ready?”

Feng Yu blinked. She didn’t understand why the Emperor’s attention was suddenly on her. She had been quietly lowering her presence.

She nodded and said, “Your Majesty, there are only three months left. I will be ready in three months.”

Nine Lights nodded and said, “Little girl, you are a grown-up now. We used to cultivate and play together. I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, my brother’s daughter would be so old. Sigh, time flies. I wonder how my brother is now…”

Bei Ming Jiu Li seemed to be lost in his memories after he finished talking. He took a cup of wine and drank it. Feng Yu was puzzled. From what the Emperor said, he seemed to have a good relationship with her father.

She turned around and looked at Yun Hong, but she found that there was an ugly look in Yun Hong’s eyes.

Although it disappeared soon, Feng Yu caught it. She was more and more puzzled. What was going on between the Emperor and her father? Her grandfather seemed to be unhappy when he heard the Emperor mention her father.

“Emperor, I have something to report.”

Yun Hong walked to the front of the stage and knelt down in front of Bei Ming Jiu Li. Bei Ming Jiu Li was pulled back to his senses. He looked at Yun Hong with confusion and said, “Old General Yun, what is it?”

Yun Hong looked at Feng Yu and said, “Emperor, I have changed the Yun Family’s family name two days ago. I changed Ruo’s name. From now on, Ruo Ningruo is named Yun Fengyu. I have to report this to the Emperor.”

Bei Ming Jiu Li looked at Feng Yu with surprise and asked, “Why?”

“When this girl was two years old, she was brought back by her useless father. At that time, she was called Yun Fengyu. I didn’t want her to grow up like an orphan, so I gave her to her uncle. The name Yun Ningruo was also given to her by her uncle.”

“Now that she has grown up, and her father only has her bloodline, I have decided to let this girl go back to her father. Naturally, her name has to be changed.”

Nine Darkness Beiming sighed and said, “That’s fine. Brother Tian only has one bloodline. If I don’t agree, wouldn’t it mean that Brother Tian will have no descendants? Change it.”

Feng Yu was surprised. So this Emperor was so easy to talk to. She thought about her ‘like I came personally’ gold medal and thought that it was probably given to her by the Emperor because of her father. Even the Eleventh Prince was given away.

Feng Yu felt a bit of sympathy for Beiming Hao. So it turned out that he was a gift from her father. How pitiful.

Suddenly, she felt a gaze. Feng Yu looked over and saw the man sitting on the throne. He was holding a cup of wine and looking at her thoughtfully.

Seeing that cup of wine, she couldn’t help but think of that day. She immediately looked away.
