I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 470: 470. Retreat after success

Hearing this news, Zuo Xiaowei and the others showed worried expressions on their faces.

During the civil war among the great powers, the Divine Land showed no signs of improvement; instead, the nation’s fortunes waned day by day.

If the foreign devils were to invade, what could be done? @@novelbin@@

Yuan Kaisheng continued with a cold face:

“Lord Lu, the matter of dealing with you has already been scheduled on the agenda of the great powers.

Einheit has given Izumo substantial support, helping it regain its vitality.

That Izumo Emperor, with both a Golden Body and the Divine Manifestation of the Holy Realm, is also desperately gathering information about you!”

If Lord Lu would retract the decision, we could still sit down and have a proper discussion.

If you persist in going your own way, don’t blame me for looking out for myself!”

After Yuan Kaisheng shouted out these words, he carefully observed Lu Yao’s reaction.

His words served two purposes: first, to force the opponent to withdraw the absurd Empress decision so that everyone could sit down and discuss constitutional matters anew.

Even if that didn’t work, at least Lu Yao would be made to feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, focusing all of his attention on the great powers and not having the time to deal with Yuan.

But no matter how you looked at it, this man surnamed Lu’s expression remained calm and composed!

At this moment, Lu Yao nodded lightly and said, “The Izumo Emperor and I have been in Divine Communion for a long time, a battle between us will happen sooner or later. There’s no need for Lord Yuan to worry about me. You should rather worry about yourself.”

Yuan Kaisheng’s expression changed: “You’re going to make a move on me! I came here at an invitation, and this would be without honor!”

As he spoke, he subtly placed his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, the Izumo Divine Soldier “Buddo no Mitama” that never left his side.

Liu Kunyi’s expression also changed uncertainly, his fists clenching and unclenching;

Their trusted aides appeared as if they were facing a great enemy, with cold sweat soaking through their clothes.

At this extremely tense moment, Lu Yao suddenly let out a laugh.

“What are you so afraid of? Since you were invited here, I will ensure your safety and well-being.”

A group of people immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Kun swallowed hard and said, “Lord Lu is such a person of presence. Then… what if we refuse to pledge loyalty to the new Emperor?”

Lu Yao replied with a serene smile, “As for rebellious officials and treacherous subjects, they must naturally be exterminated. However, Governor Liu, you and your lot are not at the top of the list; I have to eliminate those who didn’t show up today first.”

Liu Kunyi: “…”

Lu Yao looked at the man’s dumbstruck expression and laughed:

“By tradition, the coronation ceremony is held on the first day of the lunar year. I will dispose of your kind before then. Go back and make sure you prepare well.”

The expressions of both men changed drastically, and they trembled with anger at the other’s arrogant attitude!

At that moment, everyone present realized that Lu Yao was unmistakably bullying others with his power and doing whatever he pleased.

But no one could do anything about it!

Yuan Kaisheng and Liu Kun were experiencing the feeling of being trampled upon and arbitrarily bullied by others after a long absence.

At this time, the confidants of the two men had already approached and whispered:

“My lord, we should not stay here for long! Should that man surnamed Lu change his mind, it would not be good.”

“As long as we live, there’s no fear of running out of firewood. Let’s leave quickly!”

Staying would only bring more humiliation. Surrounded by their confidants, both men left, watching Lu Yao warily as they made their awkward escape.

Little did they know that Lu Yao was not in a hurry to take their lives. The great land was already his property, and naturally, he wanted to take it into complete control with the least possible loss.

These two men were just right for “luring the enemy.”

~~~~~~~~~

Once the insignificant ones had left, the remaining people immediately crowded around to offer flattery and seek favor.

Zhang Wenda even expressed his willingness to draft the coronation edict and plan the coronation ceremony.

This person was rather perceptive and also held the title of Grand Scholar, so such tasks were naturally within his wheelhouse. Lu Yao straightforwardly agreed.

However, without rice, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook. Zhang Wenda began to inquire, “I wonder what the name of The New Dynasty will be? And the various statutes…”

Since it concerned the future national structure, the others also listened intently with Focused Spirit.

Lu Yao pondered for a moment then started to explain, “Since everyone is here, I’ll just briefly go over it.

The various system regulations, those people previously discussed establishing constitutionalism and said a lot about it, revising the official system, starting state-owned banks, and new schools… all of it is quite sensible, so we’ll follow these principles.”

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Wenda and the others showed a trace of embarrassed smiles.

Those were all ideas they, as recent adherents, had passionately proposed, some overly idealistic… yet now that Lord Lu had spoken, they had no choice but to follow through, essentially shooting themselves in the foot.

Lu Yao continued, “Also, from now on, opium and human trafficking are strictly illegal, and all treaties signed with the powers will be null and void… Let’s leave it at that for now.”

The room erupted into commotion, with everyone clamoring to ask more questions.

Lu Yao gestured and pushed Li Pei forward, saying, “You can discuss the specifics with the future Empress.”

Li Pei stood stern-faced, forcing herself to appear calm. Those familiar with her could tell she was somewhat at a loss; clearly, she was not ready to become the Emperor.

Lu Yao patted her shoulder, speaking gently, “I support you, do whatever you want to do.”

Hearing these words, Li Pei felt a surge of boundless courage: With my lover’s support, even a pig could become the Emperor—what have I to fear!

Suddenly, her phoenix eyes flashed with a fierce determination, yet she remained dignified and majestic.

With the imperial aura fully unleashed, she indeed possessed the makings of a great Emperor.

Lu Yao smiled and left the stage to the newly minted Empress, achieving a graceful exit. With the remaining sisters, he returned home to live in untroubled joy.

Only Yu Yanmei stayed behind with Fran to accompany them.

~~~~~~~~~~~

In the tranquility of Jing Yi Garden, Lu Yao contentedly nestled into his senior sister’s ample and shockingly firm bosom, enjoying a full-body massage from the sister flowers.

“Today I truly witnessed what it means to control the clouds with a wave of the hand and command the rain with another. Junior brother, with just a few words, you decided the fate of the throne—truly impressive!”

Liao Ya’s eyes, clear and gentle as still waters, were full of admiration.

Liao Qe, while massaging her beloved’s feet, chuckled and said:

“Who would have thought you’d make Li Pei the Empress? Should we kneel when we see her in the future~”

After finishing her sentence, she got up and imitated the movements she had seen on the stage, curtsying deeply and teasingly shouting:

“Long live the Empress! Oh my, Your Majesty, what are these two big bowls hiding in front of your chest~ Hahaha”

She then laughed herself into hysterics.

Liao Ya smacked her younger sister’s head, “Don’t be so disrespectful.”

Liao Qe made a face and said, “The ones being disrespectful are you all. You, Li Pei, and Grandmaster Yu, all of you should be calling me ‘sister’!”

Liao Ya’s face flushed with embarrassment. By rights, that’s exactly how it should be…

At that moment, Little Su Er came over, coy and hesitant.

Seeing her student’s awkward manner, Liao Ya’s intuition led her to approach.

The two whispered to each other, and joy appeared on Liao Ya’s face: “No need to be shy, this is a good thing, it means you’re becoming a young woman.”

Upon hearing this, Little Su Er was also very happy, glancing secretly towards Lu Yao.

Although martial artists have strong physiques, some matters should not be taken lightly.

Liao Ya instructed her student on what to be mindful of during menstruation. After the young girl diligently memorized it, she respectfully bowed to her teacher and withdrew.

~~~~~~~

Liao Ya returned with a smile on her face. Lu Yao had overheard the conversation and felt somewhat nostalgic:

“In the blink of an eye, that little girl has also grown up.”

“Next, let’s discuss plans for the campaign against the ‘disobedient subjects’.”
