C72 Cold as Ice the City Gate Was Opened and Everyone in the City Knew Who the Commander Was
"I need you to come down for a check-up. " With that, the guard came to his side and pulled him down.
Lee Tianyu waved his hand and pushed the guard's hand to the side, then took out a token from his pocket and put it in front of him. The guard was dumbfounded. This token seemed to be made of pure gold. It was in the shape of a shield and was surrounded by patterns. There was a word Jin in the middle of the token.
The reason why he was dumbfounded was because the ordinary Royal Guards token was made of bronze, and it was round in shape. The token in front of him should be made of pure gold, and it was also in the shape of a shield. He had heard of it before. There was only one such token in Royal Guards's possession, and this was what Commander possessed.
In other words, the person in front of him was Sir Commander of the Royal Guards. This made the guard's back turn cold. At this time, he really regretted stopping this person. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Finger. Commander. Commander. . . This lowly one has eyes but does not recognize Mount Tai. Please spare my life, Commander. "
"Alright, get up. " Lee Tianyu did not even look at him. He only asked him to get up.
At this moment, a person hurriedly ran out from inside. This person wasn't anyone else. He was the guard of the Shuntian Prefecture's city gate. In fact, he had already seen Lee Tianyu a long time ago. He felt that Lee Tianyu looked very much like Royal Guards's Commander. But after all, the Commander was not something that a mere guard general like him could see. He had also seen it a few times by chance. Furthermore, the Commander had been missing for more than three years, so he was only suspicious. The moment Lee Tianyu took out the token, he knew that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly ran out.
"This humble servant is the General of Shuntian Prefecture, Zhan Fei, and greets Commander. The guard is a new recruit and does not recognize you, Commander. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way. " The guard quickly knelt down in front of Lee Tianyu. He did not want to offend this man. Because he had long heard that this Commander was not only a popular person by the Emperor's side, but also a very cold person. When he was commanding Royal Guards, he was very disciplined and did not allow anyone to make inferior mistakes. The same mistakes were not allowed to happen a second time. If there was a person who did not care about face at all, and he had a cold expression on his face, coupled with that mask, it would be difficult for people to get close to him.
"Alright, get up. Can I go in now?" After saying that, Lee Tianyu looked at the guard who stopped him. At this moment, the guard had his head lowered and his body was still trembling.
"Oh, yes, yes, of course you can. Commander, please. " Zhan Fei hastily stood up and made way for Lee Tianyu.
"Am I that scary?" Lee Tianyu wanted to leave, but he stopped and looked at the trembling guard.
"No. . . Not scary. " The guard quickly knelt down and said.
"Get up and talk. You did the right thing today. This is the Shuntian Prefecture, the Imperial City. For the safety of the Emperor and the ministers, you must carefully inspect every single person who passed by. However, your tone and actions make me dislike you. Remember, Searching is a must, but your tone must not be too harsh. Although you are a soldier, you are no different from a common person. Civilians are people too, don't be so arrogant. "
"Yes, yes, yes. Lord Lee, it's all because I didn't teach them well. I apologize on his behalf. I'm sorry, Lord Lee. Hurry up and apologize to Lord Lee. " After saying that, he looked at the guard.
"Lee. . . Lord Lee. . . I'm sorry. "
"Alright, go and guard your city. Also, Lord Zhan has something to talk to you about. " Lee Tianyu indicated for the guard to go back and continue guarding the city, then he turned to look at Zhan Fei.
"Your humble servant is here. If you need anything, just tell me. "
"The reason I asked them to look for you is to tell you that it will be the day of the various countries sending ambassadors to pay tribute. At that time, they will all gather here. During this period of time, we must increase the patrol, and if there are any suspicious people, we must investigate carefully. We must not let any petty people sneak into the Imperial City and threaten the safety of the ambassadors. "
" Yes, I will definitely tell my subordinates to carefully inspect the people who passed by and ensure that those who have ill intentions will not enter the city. "
"Alright then, I'll be leaving" After saying that, Lee Tianyu kicked the horse's abdomen with his legs and the horse walked into the city.
After Lee Tianyu entered the city, the guard called Zhan Fei wiped the sweat off his forehead and muttered to himself, "Oh my god, this Commander really lives up to its reputation. Its face is expressionless and full of frost. It's really scary. "
Just like that, after this incident, the news of Commander of the Royal Guards's reappearance in Shuntian Prefecture was quickly spread to the entire city.
This day passed in the midst of everyone's heated discussion about the reappearance of this Mask Commander. The next morning, at the morning court. The Emperor sat firmly on the Dragon Throne and listened to everyone's report before standing up. "Everyone, my close, I believe everyone has heard the news of Commander of the Royal Guards's return yesterday, right? He has something to do at home. He has been away from the Imperial Court for more than three years and some of you are already very familiar with him. And some of the new talents, because he hasn't appeared for a long time, have only heard of his name and never seen his appearance. Today, I will let all of you know each other. Announce Lee Xiangyu to enter the hall. " After saying that, he returned to the dragon throne and sat down.
"Summon Commander of the Royal Guards, Lee Xiangyu, into the hall. " Shunzi hurriedly shouted to the outside. Immediately after that, the people outside the hall were heard one after another. In a short while, a person wearing Commander of the Royal Guards's clothes and wearing a golden mask slowly walked in. He came to the front of the hall and knelt down on one knee. One hand propped on the ground and said with his head lowered, "This official, Commander of the Royal Guards, Lee Xiangyu greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. "
"my close, stand up. "
"Thank you, Emperor. " After saying that, he stood up.
"Mr Lee, now is the time for the Imperial Court to use people. Since you have returned, I will not let you be idle anymore. General Qu and Mr Lee, come forward and listen to my orders. "
"This official is here. " After saying that, Longhu Great General Qu Jinpeng walked out from the crowd and knelt down on one knee.
"In less than two months, the envoys from various countries will come to Shuntian Prefecture. I will now order the two of you to be in charge of the security of Shuntian Prefecture. Make sure that nothing unexpected happens when the envoys from the various countries come to see you. Make sure that the personal safety of the envoys will be ensured. General Qu, you are in charge of the arrangements and arrangements of the soldiers in the city. Mr Lee, you will lead Royal Guards to assist General Qu in the safety of the city. "
"This official, Lee Xiangyu, obeys the decree. " After saying that, Lee Xiangyu knelt down.
"This official, Qu Jinpeng, obeys the decree. " General Qu also knelt down after that.
"Alright, does my close have anything else to say? If there was nothing else, just withdraw from the court.
"Withdraw from the court. " After Shunzi said these two words, all the ministers knelt down together and shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"General Qu, Mr Lee, follow me to the study room. " After saying that, the Emperor stood up and walked towards the back hall. Lee Xiangyu and Qu Jinpeng also followed him to the back hall.
Everyone slowly got up after the Emperor left and went to the lower hall.
