Peerless Taoist

Everyone looked at each other, but there wasn't much joy on their faces.    

It was just a marquis. To Lu Yu, it was nothing. In fact, it was no longer necessary.    

Ever since Lu Yu destroyed the Qi Dynasty, the entire Imperial Court had fallen into silence. There was not a single sound.    

Everyone guessed that this was the reward that the Imperial Court was discussing about. However, they did not expect the answer to the riddle to be so disappointing.    

He was just a marquis with no real power. The title of "Zhendong Marquis" was not even as famous as Lu Yu's "Great General."    

"Emperor? Which Emperor?" Lu Yu said coldly.    

Shen Linglong could not even protect herself now. Lu Yu would not believe that she would have the mood to specially find someone to give him this reward.    

Xu Yingzhu cupped her hands towards the void and said, "Who else could it be? The Crown Prince was blessed by the heavens and inherited the will of the late Emperor. He had already ascended to the throne and become the Emperor. In a few days, it will be announced to the people of heaven and earth. The Shen family had lost their virtues and abandoned the human race's saint artifact, the Renhuang Sword. They were already the sinners of the human race. They are not worthy to be the emperor. In the future, the entire Heaven Realm will respect our emperor."    

The crown prince had ascended the throne!    

Lu Yu frowned. Everyone beside him also revealed shocked expressions.    

Zhang Yi's expression was also not too good. As the commanding officer of the Skynet, he actually did not know about this news.    

If even the Skynet did not receive the news in advance, then there was only one possibility. The Crown Prince had done it in a hurry, and without any warning, he had completed the coronation without giving anyone a chance to react!    

If a new emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty wanted to successfully ascend the throne, the ceremony needed to be completed was rather cumbersome, and it might even take more than a month's time to prepare.    

However, Crown Prince Zhao Yuanyan had skipped those tedious steps and took the lead to claim the throne!    

This was equivalent to taking the lead and reporting later!    

"What? Is Lord Lu dissatisfied with the coronation of the Emperor?" When Xu Yingzhu saw Lu Yu frown, he reprimanded him coldly.    

Lu Yu looked at him and said, "What do you want to do here? Just say it."    

If it was just a decree, there was no need to go through so much trouble.    

When Lu Yu was appointed as the Governor of East Victory, it was a few eunuchs who came to read the decree. Because it was just a reward, they could leave after reading it.    

Now, the Imperial Court had not only sent a minister, but also a large number of embroidered Dragon Guards.    

It did not look like a decree, but more like they were here to show off.    

Xu Yingwu's expression changed slightly, and a flash of anger appeared between his brows. He had lived a pampered life in the Imperial Capital, and no one had treated him like this.    

Xu Yingzhu said coldly, "Under the imperial edict of His Majesty, the Marquis of the East, Lu Yu, will immediately head to the Sishui Pass to provide assistance. The Prince of the Valley of Returning Nature will be able to control himself."    

Everyone was in an uproar.    

They had just discussed the war at the front lines, but they did not expect the Imperial Court to act so quickly. They were already prepared to send Lu Yu over.    

"The Imperial Court wants us to participate in the war. That's fine. However, before the troops and horses move, the grain will be moved first. Has the Imperial Court prepared the salaries?" A commander of the Qianlong Army said coldly.    

All the salaries of the Rising Dragon Army had been provided by Lu Yu since the establishment of the Rising Dragon Army.    

Although it was an official army in name, the Rising Dragon Army had already separated from the Imperial Court and became Lu Yu's personal weapon.    

"Salary? No! The Rising Dragon Army will continue to stay in the East Victory Star River to prevent Tang Tianchao from attacking from the side. "    

Xu Yingzhu said loudly," Lu Yu, His Majesty made an exception and promoted you as a Marquis because of your contributions to the court. You can bring no more than three thousand guards to the Sishui Pass. "
