Chapter 36 Return to the Imperial City
"But how do I collect this 'True Essence of Beauty'? Do I have to learn from the founder of this martial art and become a scumbag? Oh well, let fate decide."
Ye Kang didn't insist, since the Hundred Flowers Sword Finger technique was already sufficient for him at the moment.
The next skill to be improved is the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Technique.
He had already witnessed the power of this martial art; it was an absolutely top-tier martial art, capable of even suppressing the inherited martial arts of these so-called major martial arts sects.
No wonder it's a secret technique passed down from the previous dynasty's royal family. I'm already this amazing after only reaching the first level. What will I be like when I reach the Great Perfection?
Ye Kang clicked on the upgrade panel of the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Skill. It turned out that even the upgrade from the first level to the second level required comprehension.
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.
Ye Kang concealed his aura and stepped out of the room again. As soon as he went out, Jin Baobei rushed up to him in a panic.
"Senior, I can't go back to the God of Wealth Inn, and I dare not stay in Mengzhou any longer. Please take me back to the capital. I believe I have some skills in intelligence gathering and can definitely help you!"
Jin Baobei figured it out: rather than staying in Mengzhou and waiting to be retaliated against by those sects, it was better to leave.
Ye Kang thought about it. In any case, Princess Jinxi had promised him that he would be promoted to deputy commander when he returned. It would indeed be difficult to do without a few trusted and skilled subordinates.
Jin Baobei is both an intelligence talent and a top-notch expert, no less skilled than Zhu Cong and Zhang Gong, making him perfect for the task.
He nodded: "That's fine then. You will come back to the Imperial City Guard with me and become my personal attendant."
"Huh? I'm going to the Imperial City Guard?" Jin Baobei was flustered. She just wanted to find a powerful patron, she never thought of becoming a dog for the imperial court.
Ye Kang saw through her thoughts and said earnestly, "You'll understand later. All those heroes and masters are just illusions. Having a stable job, receiving a government salary, and a pension is the most secure future."
Upon hearing this, Gymboree blinked, a strange feeling creeping over her.
How can there be such an unambitious master?
……
The matter in Mengzhou is settled.
Ye Kang and Jin Baobei also joined Princess Jinxi's group, setting off in a grand procession back to the capital.
Before departure,
Lin Hanzhi changed into a clean cyan dress and stood on the city wall, gazing at the princess's procession.
In the crowd, a tall figure sat astride a red-maned horse, his hair tied up like ink, dressed in a black shirt and boots, and smiled gently at her.
This smile made Lin Hanzhi's heart race and her fingers clench tightly.
This man saved her and Mengzhou.
If possible, I would like to go to the capital with him.
However, as the daughter of the prefect, she could not be so willful and could only watch as the other person's figure gradually disappeared into the horizon.
Unbeknownst to her, a faint pink aura had already begun to form within her heart.
……
Half a month later, the team finally returned to the capital.
Because the princess was traveling with a large entourage, she had to travel slowly like an ordinary person. If it were Ye Kang alone, he could have traveled from Mengzhou back to the capital in a few days.
Because there were many skilled people in the team, they encountered no danger along the way and had an extremely smooth journey.
Upon entering the imperial city, a deafening cacophony of gongs and drums erupted, and a group of palace eunuchs shouted at the top of their lungs, "Her Highness the Ninth Princess has returned!"
Surrounded by a large entourage, the group entered the palace. Ye Kang's mission was now complete. Since he was sent by Consort Jing, he did not need to enter the palace to meet the emperor. He then took Jin Baobei directly back to the Imperial City Guard.
Upon seeing Leng Ruyi, Ye Kang cupped his hands and smiled, "I have fulfilled my mission, Lord Leng. How did my task go?"
Leng Ruyi maintained her indifferent attitude, but she was still startled when she saw Ye Kang's aura.
To have progressed so quickly, this person must be a genius among geniuses!
No wonder he was accepted as a disciple by those old monsters; he is indeed extraordinary.
She nodded: "Well done. You have made great contributions by helping the Ninth Princess suppress the martial arts world of Mengzhou and wipe out the White Lotus Sect rebels. Consort Jing has already requested the Emperor to promote you to the third deputy commander of the Imperial City Guard and appoint you as a sixth-rank official."
"Thank you, sir!"
"Don't thank me. If nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty will summon you to the palace in the next few days. You can temporarily fulfill your duties as the warden and go back to the death row."
Ye Kang was also a little embarrassed. Since being promoted, he hadn't been to the death row many times and had become somewhat lax.
He nodded, then pointed to Jin Baobei and said, "Lord Leng, this is someone I met in Mengzhou..."
"No need to say anything, I already know. Since you recommended me, I'll be placed in the Imperial City Guard and become your personal attendant. You can make the arrangements yourself."
Leng Ruyi waved her hand and gave Jin Baobei a government position, even though the latter wasn't very happy about it.
But Ye Kang was very happy. His obsession with the organization made him even a little envious of Gymboree.
This is great! I failed the civil service exam eleven times in my previous life, but this guy got it right away without doing anything. He can just relax and relax.
its not right!
Ye Kang suddenly realized what was happening.
I can lie down now!
"Lord Ye, there are a few unruly prisoners in the death row, and there are a bunch of tasks waiting for you to be assigned outside, so don't just stand here."
Leng Ruyi spoke calmly.
Ye Kang finally snapped out of his daydream. Well, he couldn't just give up yet.
He took Jinbaobei, received his waist tag and sword, changed into his uniform, and headed to the death row.
The jailer guarding the death row saw Ye Kang and immediately bowed.
Ye Kang nodded slightly and headed straight for the warden's office.
"Jinbaobei, this office is yours from now on. I can't manage the death row, so I'll leave it all to you."
Ye Kang smiled slyly, thinking that this would save him trouble.
Gymboree looked speechless: "Sir, I still prefer intelligence work..."
"That's not right. You can guard the death row prison while gathering intelligence. Anyway, you're my close follower. With my badge, you can enter the Imperial City Guard's intelligence department at will."
Upon hearing this, Gymboree didn't say much and could only agree.
Ye Kang ignored her. Since he was already in the Death Prison, he might as well go and see an old friend.
Cell No. 007 in the Xuanjie Prison.
Dai Huanhuan has been living here for some time now.
There was no torture or coercion as she had imagined. Apart from delivering her meals every day, the prison guards did not communicate with her at all.
This caused the righteous female thief great distress.
This guy is trying to suffocate himself!
He really is a corrupt official, extremely vicious!
She was sulking when Ye Kang walked over with his hands behind his back.
"Hey, Lady Dai, it's been a long time! How have you been these past few days?"
When Dai Huanhuan saw Ye Kang, she was furious and simply snorted coldly, ignoring him.
Ye Kang smiled and said softly, "Why be so formal? I'm not a bad person. You've committed a crime on behalf of the young lady, so you can't blame me for being locked up."
"Bullshit!" Dai Huanhuan roared.
"I didn't commit a crime! I was just doing my duty. My master said that the imperial court is full of corrupt officials, and stealing from the court is not a crime, but an act of justice!"
Ye Kang shook his head helplessly.
"You're hopeless! The court has clearly done nothing wrong, so where does this great resentment come from?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Huanhuan's eyes instantly turned cold.
"The court's lackeys will naturally speak for the court. How would you know what I've been through?"
Seeing the murderous intent in Dai Huanhuan's eyes, Ye Kang also became serious.
There is a story behind this.
Good, good, good. A story is needed to find a breakthrough, and only with a breakthrough can we obtain her unparalleled lightness skill.
Ye Kang coughed and said in a low voice with utmost righteousness, "Miss Dai, perhaps I can help you?"
