The Rebirth of the Master of the Universe
Episode 333's.Xiuying Capital Gate
Two days had already passed, after such a grueling journey, Li Hongli and his entourage finally arrived at the imperial capital of Lian, the capital of Xiuying.
The capital of the Lian empire, the capital of Xiuying, looked so crowded, different types of people could be seen and mingled together.
Even the city gate was so crowded, if asked where Li Hongli was, of course Li Hongli and his entourage were also among the crowd of people who were queuing in front of the city gates to rush into the capital.
" If you can't give me 100 gold coins don't expect to get into the city, you beggar's bottom out of my sight. This city is not a beggar like you!"
Brucks
There was a commotion that occurred in front of the gate that so caught the attention of everyone who was there.
" Lord please let us in, we have no other destination than this city" a young man holding a baby in his arms was pushed by a soldier standing guard.
" Quick get out of the way, don't get in the way of others!"
" Master please have mercy on my sister, she is still a baby and has not yet drunk a single piece of milk, please let me in!"
" Nephanna.."
" What's going on?" A man dressed as a knight came with some soldiers behind him.
" Greetings general.." all the soldiers on guard immediately lowered their heads respectfully upon the arrival of that man.
" Hmm, explain what's really going on here?" Ask her
" General Cao!" Inner Yueyin, she originally wanted to come forward to help the two people but after the arrival of that person who turned out to be a general.
" Do you know her?" Li Hongli asked in a whisper.
" Yes, but I never liked her, so always avoid when she will meet her" Yueyin replied as she was.
" Sir please help me, let me enter the city!"
" The general of this man has no money but still insists on entering..."
" Why are you so rude to him, young man forgive my soldier..... But this is already imperial procedure, so I cannot help, if you want to enter must still pay the entrance fee first" said the person with a full expression of pretense.
She looks smiling yet her smile is full of pretense.
" It's worth it that you don't like her very much, like she always wears more than one face!" Said Li Hongli staring at the cynical person.
General Cao looked around when he sensed that someone was staring at him, but he could not find it.
" Empire procedures? I just heard there's a rule that's so burdensome to the people..."
" Who are you!" Exclaim the general
" You won't know me, General, but I know you well... I'd like to ask you general, why are you so eager to get money from us who are only a people!" Yueyin exclaimed out of the queue and approached the young man, followed by Li Hongli who was guarding her from behind.
" What did that boy do!" Elder Qixuan's whisper was not in the least mind with what Yueyin was going to do.
" Just relax, he won't get into trouble in his own territory" Wang Xiuhuan said casually.
" His own territory? What do you mean!" Xia Xionglue's words were puzzled by Wang Xiuhuan's words.
And for her this girl so easily believed in her saying "Oh so!"
" He believes just like that, it's better that I see what he's going to do" Wang Xiuhuan said
" What do you mean, son, this isn't my wish either. If I can help, I also want to let them enter the city at no cost... But what power I am is only a subordinate who must be loyal to the imperial family, especially to the emperor's highness. The emperor himself has made this rule, and does not let anyone who does not pay the fee be let into the city" said General Cao with a gentle smile, but only a few people realize his smile is just a pretense.
" General, what nonsense are you telling me.... " Pause Yueyin
" What does the girl mean..."
" He was so brave to make trouble with a general..."
" In a moment the girl will be sorry!"
" So stupid girl!"
" What does this girl mean, how dare she insult me in front of so many people" inner general Cao, both of his hands were already tightly clenched from restraining anger, said the official, but his face still looks friendly and kind.
" General, everyone already knows emperor Lian is someone wise and firm, he is also the figure of an emperor who loves his people, he said, how could he possibly let his people suffer just for not paying the entrance fee into this city.... I'm sure the general will understand what I mean!" Yueyin exclaimed as she stroked the face of the baby in the young man's arms and looked coldly at General Cao's face without the man's knowledge.
" It's also true what the girl said..."
" It is true that all this time the emperor has always acted justly and cherished his people - it is impossible to let his people suffer.."
" It turns out this girl is very smart! Damn it" the inner general Cao was getting upset.
" What the lady said is true, but what can I help you with!"
" Simple enough, didn't the general himself say. If there is a chance the general wants to help the people in distress, if the general can not ease the rule, what if the general who finances these two people, then the general helps the people instead!" Yueyin said with emphasis in each of her sentences, a faint smile behind her thin cloth.
" Sassy!" Exclaimed a soldier who pointed his weapon at Yueyin, but Li Hongli who saw it did not stay still he immediately grasped the weapon until it made his cut in half. Of course, this surprised everyone.
" You're backing out!"
" This damn girl set me up!" Cao's inner general was upset
" Miss forgive my subordinates, can you ask your subordinates not to make a fuss!" His smile was forced.
" Subordinate? I don't have a subordinate. But compared to that unimportant thing, aren't we now discussing even more important things!"
" If I refuse his request this everyone will assume I'm bad, but if I let them in I'll be very much at a loss. It's just that this girl is so cunning that if your highness the emperor finds out about my actions, I can get into trouble, better let them now, let me give this brat a lesson later!" Her inner
" Why did the general think for so long whether my words were wrong."
" What the lady said was absolutely true, Your Majesty the emperor is a just and wise emperor, therefore today you will not have to pay the entrance fee to the city!" General Cao smiled with force.
" Well, since the general has already invited him, let's go in!" Take Li Hongli to Yueyin who was possessed by her as well.
Li Hongli helped the young man stand up whereas, Yueyin was holding the tiny baby.From the start Li Hongli was just silent, it was not because she did not want to help, it was not because she did not want to help, it was just that he was sure Yueyin did not need his help, he was very confident Yueyin could finish her by herself.
Elder Qixuan, elder Zhishu, Lien Hua, Xia Xionglue, and Wang Xiuhuan who had just observed immediately came out of the queue and caught up with them.
