Waking in the spacious passage in silence, the emperor Ang Luo was followed by his entourage of protectors while he was on his way to his study room. There's some opposition to the court meeting that happened not so long ago. But then, it was a normal sight for Ang Luo as everyone within the court always has their own hidden agendas.
"Hong Ming…"
Ang Luo halted his steps and called out the name of one of the protectors out of nowhere. The person whose name was called quickly walked to the emperor's side while clasping his hands as he bowed slightly, "I'm here."
On their right side, they could oversee the scenery of neatly decorated gardens filled with many kinds of flowers and trees. It was awfully quiet in that garden, as usually, his daughter would
Taking out a golden scroll out of thin air, the emperor placed it right on the table. At the same time, his other hand also pulled out a jade crafted token, with the words 'Imperial Tally' on it."Do you know what this is, Hong Ming?"Looking at the token solemnly, Hong Ming nodded deeply and answered, "It's the Imperial Tally. The one who held such an item would have the authority to command the entire army of the empire in the name of the emperor."Smiling at Hong Ming's words, Ang Luo replied, "That's right. This item holds immense power and bears my name directly even when I'm not there. In the wrong hand, it could be used as a
After he parted ways with the emperor, Ang Luo, Hong Ming sighed to himself while he walked the hallway that led him to the outer gate of the royal empire. Although many people came to the court meeting not too long ago, however, the area has been back to its calmness soon. Many civil officials and military officials had come back to where they came from right after the court meeting ended.Yet, there are some people who choose to stay for a while before they set out to continue their world. The servants in the royal palace still maintained their business, as Hong Ming saw the eunuchs and maids walking around hastily on his way. "Fresh vegetables, fresh vegetables! The best vegetables in Mou city!""Discount on meat! You can get a pound of chicken or pig with only fifteen coppers!""Come, come! Our Longevity Pavilion would have half prices as it was our first month to open! Don't miss this chance!"Many kinds of shouts filled the atmosphere in the area as vendors, merchants, and many other people were shouting to the passerby to gain their attention on what they were trying to offer. It was a busy street, just like any other street. However, one would say that this street was the best place to search for anything in the city as varied merchants put their mThe Saga of the Unbroken 334. Mou City
In the mile of the night, when the moon was full and the roar of the predator echoed within the wilderness, a figure could be seen flying silently under the clouds. The speed of the figure was comparable to the king of the sky in this region, the fabled divine beast with a phoenix blood in it.But that king was nowhere to be found because it hates to wander around at night time. Meanwhile, a type of demonic beast was the species that's most active. They loved to hide their grotesque features under the darkness of the night, while their eyes and senses were perfect to hunt their prey under the gloom, cloudy sky.However, none of them dared to approach that lone figure. That figure had the shape of a humanoid, just like the fles
"Hong Ming."Clasping his hands, an old man with a pure white robe was greeting his guest right in his living room. Although it was late hours, the old man showed no sign of exhaustion or sleepiness.At the same time the man that the old man addressed was a beast man who responded with clasping his own hands as well. With a calm voice, Hong Ming said, "Official Jun, sorry for the sudden visit.""It's fine, you are here for the imperial decree, after all." spoke official Jun who bowed slightly as he resumed his speech, "Let's cut to the chase and show me about the imperial decree, Hong Ming." After his departure from official Jun's residence and traveling for more than two days straight, finally, Hong Ming managed to get back to the capital. There's an increased amount of people on the street in one glance if he had to compare it before he started his task. The atmosphere was in a festive mood as well, with streets flooded with people and becoming more boisterous.Not to mention, there seems to be more high end carriages that passed by the street and went to the noble district. The rarely used mansions in that district started to be more lively, with guards and maids wandering around the place and Hong Ming could see it every time he passed a high ranking officials' mansion.Unlike his departure where he flew straiThe Saga of the Unbroken 337.

Two days later, as the capital of the Yuan Empire began it's festive mood and countless soldiers situated within the palace, the local barrack, and even outside of the city, many officials from all over the entire empire came to visit the inauguration ceremony.Lines of carriages filled with exotic gifts and boxes of priceless gems could be seen all around the street, as the present for the following day after today's grand event. Even the emissaries from other countries had come to the capital and swiftly went to the palace to show their presence.It couldn't be wrong to say the capital became bursting with people, and uncountable stalls were erected all over the streets. Children were running around the place and playing tog
Coincidentally, amidst his musing, he spotted the grim complexion of the young man called Yun Long. Seeing that Yun Zha took his leave to talk with the emperor, along with other officials, Hong Ming strode to the young man and greeted him."You look like you are in a bad mood, young prince."He didn't want to suddenly be too friendly with the young man even though they just met. But considering his relationship with Yun Zha in the past decades, Hong Ming would like to have a chat with the young Yun Long, "So I'm here to keep you company."Yun Long, who saw Hong Ming approaching him and offering him a cup of wine, snorted faintly while he
