The Ruler
83. The Hua city.
The atmosphere in the place became silent, Qing Ruo and her entourage calmly began to recuperate by absorbing the immortal soul crystal.
Fifteen minutes later, Qing Ruo opened his eyes, looking at Murong Jianyu who was sitting opposite him in a respectful manner.
" General" he said doubtfully.
" Speak," Qing Ruo said calmly.
" I want to follow and serve the ruler" he said with a serious face.
Qing Ruo smiled warmly.
" What about your job as a general?"
" I'll resign and leave my duties to the others."
" Did the golden empire grant freedom?"
Murong Jianyu nodded his head.
" Jianyu, it's not what you imagined. An army official suddenly resigned, without even the slightest problem, wouldn't it look very strange? If you become a ruler, what do you think about it?" Qing Ruo's question made Murong Jianyu speechless.
Qing Ruo smiled amiably.
" Being a servant does not always have to be on the side of the person being served. Jianyu, I want you to remain a general in the sky mountain Fire prison, to help our people who were unjustly captured and imprisoned in that place."with a serious face.
Murong Jianyu who was still speechless at the thought of Qing Ruo's words earlier, finally nodded his head.
" Be calm one day we will fight together," Qing Ruo said softly.
" Maskud the ruler?" energetically.
" I want to build Shen Shandian Luo's glory back. By the time that time comes, I want you to fight by my side." While taking out a sword Xue Luo.
" Take it," Qing Ruo said, with a sincere friendly smile.
" Young ruler, this..." Staring at Qing Ruo doubtfully.
" Xue Luo, that is the name I was given to this sword. By receiving this sword, it means that you have become my people."
" Good ruler, thank you." He grabbed the sword with a trembling hand.
Not only that, Qing Ruo also handed over the green jade badge which was a means of communication between herself and Murong Jianyu.
" If you're having a problem or something important, let me know."
" Thank you, ruler..."
" Jianyu," Qing Ruo said softly, while showing the limp badge of the phoenix, as well as the Blue Sky sword.
" Pe-ruler, servant.." with his mouth agape, staring at the two sacred objects of the Luo clan before him.
" This is both of our secrets. Other than you, only Private Zhao has seen it, even general Luo Xing has not known about this either."
" Ba-good Ruler." With happy feeling.
Qing Ruo deliberately pointed out the two holy objects in order to break the doubt and convince Murong Jianyu of their existence.
" Stay acting as usual, and increase your strength, until the call to join the army arrives," Qing Ruo said seriously, making Murong Jianyu's spirit completely smoldering.
" Good ruler..." Cupped his hands and kneeled before Qing Ruo.
From afar. Heian Bai and Dalu Rong who were quietly observing, were so very curious, yet they undoed their intention to disturb the togetherness.
An hour later, Qing Ruo ended her conversation with Murong Jianyu.
" Bai brother, Rong brother, let's go." While changing the look of his face by using Na Mu's face.
" Ruler?" Murong Jianyu asked in astonishment.
" The city warrior previously knew of my identity as a person of the Luo clan. And it's very strange that the enemies of the Hua clan enter the city freely, and that will put us under surveillance."
" Alright, I understand," Murong Jianyu said respectfully, while Heian Bai and Dalu Rong who had seen the disguise before only smiled casually.
" Alright, let's go," Qing Ruo said as she moved away from the place.
Calmly they continued to move through the giant lotus forest. Eight hours later, they finally saw a fortified city.
" Swhus...." Some soldiers moved closer to them.
" Gentlemen, the identity," said the soldier graciously.
Qing Ruo then showed the Na Clan badge, Dalu Rong showed the Dalu Clan badge, Heian Bai pointed at the Heian Clan badge, and Murong showed the Murong clan badge.
" Thank you gentlemen," said the soldier, allowing Qing Ruo and his entourage to enter the city.
After paying the entrance fee, Qing Ruo then brought his entourage into Hua city.
****
Hua Zhen Residence.
Hu Shan and his entourage were so panicked when they saw Hua Zhen return without Qing Ruo.
" Young master Hua Zhen, where is our master?" hu Shan asked with a serious face.
Hua Zhen who understood the worries of Hu Shan and his entourage smiled leisurely.
" Be calm, young ruler is fine." While explaining the short journey of those who parted at the border of the giant lotus forest.
After getting an explanation from Hua Zhen, Hu Shan and his entourage then resumed their work, accompanied by the respectful gaze of Hua Zhen.
" It looks like they are the chosen servants." Hua Zhen said in awe, then returned to his room.
****
Hua City Street.
" Brother Ruo, is this the residence of young master Hua Zhen?" heian Bai asked in astonishment when he saw Qing Ruo taking them to a stop at a luxurious restaurant in the city.
" Sister Bai, Brother Hua Zhen's residence is still far away from this place," Qing Ruo replied casually, and looked so pleased.
" What do you mean by brother Ruo?"
" Sister Bai, when else can we be like this" Qing Ruo said as she led them into the courtyard of the luxurious restaurant, making them finally understand Qing Ruo's purpose.
Their arrival at that place was immediately greeted by the servants who were guarding respectfully.
" Gentlemen, welcome to the Sweet Flower restaurant." With his friendly smile.
" Miss, I want a special room, the best food and drink" Qing Ruo said.
" Let's sir." While directing Qing Ruo and her entourage towards the seventh floor which was the last floor of the restaurant.
Along the way to the seventh floor, how many pairs of eyes kept a close eye on their movements, thus making Murong Jianyu feel displeased.
" Jianyu, let it go." Qing Ruo's voice spoke in her mind.
" Good ruler."
Qing Ruo was sure, bring the figure that kept watching their movements on each floor were the robbers who were trying to mark their existence.
Not long after, they finally arrived at the seventh floor and the maid then led them to a luxurious room that specifically faced the south, where they were located, so they can see the beautiful city of Hua clearly.
" Please sir," invited Qing Ruo and his entourage.
" Thank you miss," Qing Ruo said kindly.
After Qing Ruo and her entourage entered the room, the servant then closed the door of the room, and left the place.
In the room.
Qing Ruo changed the look of her face, then sat down on a chair, looking at Hua City leisurely.
" It's really a comfortable place" Heian Bai said, while enjoying the scenery before them leisurely.
" Sister Bai, brother Rong, in addition to enjoying this togetherness, I also want to talk to you guys about something" Qing Ruo said.
" What do you mean by brother Ruo?" heian Bai asked curiously.
" I want your cooperation to help me improve my relationship with Shen Guoshi Hua, as well as build their strength."
" What!" said Heian Bai and Dalu Rong in surprise, even making Murong Jianyu stand up from his seat, staring fixedly at Qing Ruo.
