Peerless Taoist

He walked over, and his body carried an indescribable aura of nobility. This was something that could only be formed when one held a high position all year round. Every single move he made gave off a feeling of looking down on the world.    

"General Lu."    

The red-clothed eunuch walked in front of Lu Yu and greeted him.    

Lu Yu cupped his hands and said, "Greeting Eunuch Liu!"    

He had already recognized who this red-clothed eunuch was.    

The official of the Bureau of Rites, Liu Jin, was the number two figure in the entire Bureau of Rites. He had the opportunity to come into contact with the imperial edict at the center of the palace and was a top expert in the inner court.    

Moreover, this Eunuch Liu was also the commander of the Imperial Capital's Divine Martial Imperial Army.    

This was a high-ranking eunuch with military merits. Not only did he possess extremely high strength, but he also had sufficient authority in the army. Sometimes, his words were even more effective than the Minister of War.    

"General Lu, our family has come to receive a decree from Empress Mi. Her Ladyship heard that the army you led lacked warships, so she specially arranged a nine-tooth warship from the imperial palace. General Lu, this is a token of her Ladyship's goodwill. Please accept it." Liu Jin said with a smile.    

Boom ~ ~ ~    

Everyone present felt their heads buzzing.    

What was going on?    

If the Zhang and Wei Families wanted to rope Lu Yu in, it would be fine.    

Since when did the people of the Imperial Family want to rope Lu Yu in?    

Furthermore, it was Mi Fei who personally issued the order, and had Liu Jin personally carry it out!    

This was no longer an ordinary matter. One had to know that even if Mi Fei issued the decree, she would at most send a red-clothed eunuch to deliver the decree. There was no need to send out such a figure.    

Sending Liu Jin was no longer an ordinary matter to Lu Yu.    

Mi Fei?    

Mi Fei had been giving him gifts ever since Lu Yu had successfully taken first place on the ranking list.    

Mi Fei had been a great help to him this time.    

This was a very important favor, and it wasn't something that could be easily repaid.    

"Thank you, father-in-law, but our Vermilion Bird Platoon has already entered a state of war preparation. All the armaments have to be ordered by the commander. I'm afraid this Nine Fang Battleship won't be able to reach my hands. " Lu Yu suddenly turned his gaze to Desolate Prime Minister Yu.    

The surroundings were silent as countless gazes were focused on Desolate Prime Minister Yu.    

Even those experts who usually attached themselves to the Xiao family had fallen into silence at this moment.    

This was the person that Mi Fei valued, and even the eunuch from the Bureau of Rites had personally made a trip for him.    

When they thought about how Lu Yu was still a disciple of Wen Sheng, some people felt a chill run down their backs, and a chill went straight into their bones.    

They only saw Lu Yu's age, but they had overlooked the hidden strength behind Lu Yu.    

If they really provoked Lu Yu, it would undoubtedly provoke a huge monster, and the consequences would be unimaginable.    

Xiao Chengyu's voice was a little shaky as he said, "I'm afraid... there is some misunderstanding in this matter."    

"Preparation for battle? Did the four major battalions issue a battle preparation state today? How come I don't know? " Liu Jin suddenly frowned.    

For example, if the four major battalions stationed in the imperial capital were to issue war preparations, they would need to report it in advance, and the Bureau of Rites would also be the first to know.    

However, Liu Jin did not know about this.    

"Eunuch Liu, I think there must be some sort of misunderstanding. Let me explain it to you." Xiao Chengyu's voice was trembling, completely losing its previous imposing manner.
