C4487 Merciless People(part I)
"Lin Hao, you don't have to feel pressured." Monarch Canglan raised his glass, but he was the first to speak, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere of the banquet.2
"Thank you, Imperial Emperor." Lin Hao cupped his hands towards him and sat down again with a calm expression. He nodded to His Highness the Crown Prince and Gu Qingming, indicating that they were fine.
Refusing Princess Pingyun at the banquet at the desolate mountain, although the nobles felt fortunate, they were still not interested in Lin Hao. The way they looked at him was filled with disgust.
However, they were a family with a long history in Canglan Empire. It was normal for them to be xenophobic when they were almost taken away by a foreign kid.
However, the Imperial Emperor had already raised his cup to express his attitude. The influential officials could not say anything and could only raise their cups to cover up the matter.
The Desolate Mountain Banquet ended just like that.
Because Princess Pingyun was extremely sad, the maids did not come out to send her off. Instead, they sat in palanquin and hid themselves in the carriage. They went down the mountain and returned to the Imperial Capital.
Lin Hao also did not see Qingge's shadow anymore. It must be that she was embarrassed and angry and did not want to see him again.
Lin Hao could not do anything about it. After all, although men were passionate, they were also infatuated. Sometimes, it was a mistake to see them for the rest of their lives. From then on, the flowers would lose their color, and he could not do anything about it.
No matter how strong a person is, they can't control their love and hate, so Lin Hao could only choose to refuse.
At this time, the Imperial Emperor had already arrived at the entrance of the Desolate Mountain Court with his nobles.
When the Desolate Mountain Banquet was being held, there were already a million soldiers and generals of Canglan Empire gathered there. Each soldier of cultivation stood in a straight line, forming a square formation. The leading general was riding a tall horse, and he was wearing silver armor. He had a sword at his waist, a spear in his hand, and a straight back as he stood in the front row. He led this enormous army.
There was no expression on their faces. Even when they saw the Emperor, they did not immediately go to curry favor with him like the nobles did. Instead, they raised their spears from afar and slammed them onto the ground.
In an instant, it was like a band playing a dense drum. The shouts of the soldiers and the sounds of weapons hitting the ground resounded throughout the barren mountain. Even the warhorses could not help but cry out.
"Millions of soldiers of Canglan Empire, greet Monarch Canglan!"
"The Emperor said that if the soldiers gather, the soldiers will mount their horses. It will be like a battlefield." Imperial Crown Prince did not move closer to the Imperial Emperor but stood beside Lin Hao. He explained softly to him," No warrior needs to bow. Just give a verbal signal. "
After saying that, the soldiers stopped talking, and the silver-armored soldier in the lead rode his horse forward. They cupped their fists at the Emperor and Gu Qingming respectively, then asked, "Emperor, Great Confucianist, the one million soldiers have been assembled. Can we set off? "
The Emperor nodded and the silver-armored soldier immediately dismounted. He respectfully supported the reins and allowed the Emperor to board the horse.
"I'll hold the reins." Gu Qingming had just opened his mouth, but he hadn't even tightened his grip on the reins. The Imperial Emperor had already raised his head and looked towards Lin Hao. The horsewhip in his hand pointed in the distance and shouted loudly, "Gu Qing, follow me. Let that kid lead the horse!"
When the cultivation reached a certain level, horses and carriages were actually no longer of any use. If the cultivation was strong enough, it could even travel dozens of miles by treading on water. It could even save a boat.
Therefore, on the Mountain and River Sacrificial Ceremony, the horse that the Imperial Emperor rode was not only a horse, but also a symbol. Just like modern society, the flag on the flagpole represented the majesty and power of a country.
