Capital

We've received the bounty notice!

Qin Yan chuckled and didn't take it to heart.

I didn't expect to break their defenses.

The enemy had been planning for so long, but they never expected that they would disrupt the battle and put the Taiping Army in such an awkward situation!

The other party would definitely want to tear him to pieces.

At the same time, Qin Yan also received orders that the Dragon Soaring Army had arrived.

Qin Yan had to accompany them to Capital.

Tang Xianzong and the others were captured by Qin Yan at the last minute, so there was no way to take them away.

They have no choice but to stay in Eastern Heaven Prefecture!

"There will come a time for us all to part ways!"

"Qin Yan greets everyone!"

Qin Yan looked at these brothers who had shared life and death with him.

"The first cup is a toast to our fallen brothers."

He then downed the drink in his glass in one gulp.

Tang Xianzong and the others had tears in their eyes; following Qin Yan's lead was much more enjoyable than their previous lives.

"In tribute to our fallen brothers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together!

"The second toast is for everyone present, those who are willing to entrust their lives and fortunes to me, Qin Yan."

"My lord!"

Everyone drank it all in one gulp.

Qin Yan slowly poured the third cup and raised it high above his head.

"The third toast is to wish you all continued success and a bright future!"

"May Your Excellency achieve great success, be granted titles and honors, and be promoted to high rank!"

Tang Xianzong and the others shouted loudly, their eyes red.

Qin Yan grinned. "I'll be back."

We'll wait here!

The sound was soaring, piercing the clouds!

Dongying Prefecture!

"Qin Yan, you're amazing!"

As soon as he returned, Xia Chengqian eagerly came over and kept looking him over.

"You slayed generals on the battlefield and even captured Hu Zhanfeng alive. I regret not going with you."

I can't even imagine what kind of splendor that must have been.

Xia Chengqian was filled with jealousy, envy, and hatred.

"Young friend Qin, you have rendered such a great service; you might even be granted a title!"

Peng Tao quickly offered his congratulations, saying that Qin Yan had given him a truly wonderful surprise.

Battlefield combat was like a fish in water for him.

Such a figure will surely be a force to be reckoned with in the future of the Great Li Dynasty.

The group exchanged pleasantries for a while.

He soon saw the legendary Dragon Soaring Army!

The entire Dragon Soaring Army of only three thousand men, and the one who came this time was Jia Yuanheng, one of the three commanders of the Dragon Soaring Army!

And his Dragon Soaring Army!

The entire army was filled with a chilling aura, and the armor they wore was forged by Master Level craftsmen and was exceptionally sturdy!

Every member of the Dragon Soaring Army was selected from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Each of them possesses a considerable level of Martial Dao skill.

Taking on ten opponents single-handedly is just routine for them.

Each commander possesses at least the strength of Grandmaster, and the hundred generals among them are also Innate Martial Artists!

The elite of the elite, the ace of ace.

Rumors say he dared to confront Supreme Grandmaster directly, and there are even records of him surrounding and killing Supreme Grandmasters.

It is a sharp blade in the hands of the Emperor of Great Li.

He only obeys the Emperor of Great Li!

"Jia Yuanheng greets His Highness the Crown Prince and Elder Mr. Peng!"

Jia Yuanheng, dressed in heavy golden armor, bowed to the heir apparent, then looked at Peng Tao.

Finally, his gaze fell on Qin Yan.

"I presume you are Qin Yan? I have long admired you."

Jia Yuanheng clasped his hands in a fist and smiled!

Arrow kills Grandmaster!

The strong person who could accomplish such a feat deserves Jia Yunheng's respect.

"Greetings, Commander Jia!"

Qin Yan responded with a smile!

"Your Highness, His Majesty has heard that you may have been involved with the rebels in Eastern Heaven Prefecture."

I was specially dispatched to escort you. It's getting late, and His Majesty misses you dearly, his grandson!

Jia Yuanheng said this.

"Your grandson also misses His Majesty very much. I'll have to trouble Commander Jia with the journey!"

Xia Chengqian nodded with a smile!

With the Dragon Soaring Army escorting him all the way, he naturally doesn't need to worry about any villains along the way!

On the surface, there are two Grandmasters, and one of them, Qin Yan, is comparable to Grandmaster.

There's a Grandmaster secretly protecting them!

If something else goes wrong, it would truly be a slap in the face to His Majesty the Emperor.

Countless people suffered as a result.

Early September!

A vast and magnificent city appeared before Qin Yan.

This was the center of the Great Li Dynasty.

Now!

The gates of the imperial city were already crowded with officials and eunuchs who had come out of the palace!

"Greetings, Your Highness."

As the carriage approached, the eunuchs immediately knelt down and bowed to Xia Chengqian.

"So it's Li Gonggong!"

Xia Chengqian slightly lifted the carriage curtain and, upon seeing his father-in-law arrive, immediately broke into a broad smile.

This Li Gonggong was always by the Emperor's side, and even his father had to show him a certain degree of respect.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has said that you should enter the palace immediately upon your arrival in the Capital."

His Majesty has missed you for a long time.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Xia Chengqian bowed towards the direction of the palace, then said solemnly, "Thank you for leading the way, Li Gonggong!"

Qin Yan then bid farewell to Xia Chengqian.

After all, he was carrying a small cauldron that sealed away the evil Green Sha, and he urgently needed to be taken to the Demon-Suppressing Bureau for processing!

"This must be Lord Qin!"

At this moment, Li Gonggong looked at Qin Yan and smiled slightly, saying, "His Majesty has issued an imperial edict, summoning Lord Qin to the morning court tomorrow!"

Qin Yan was surprised to hear this, not expecting the old emperor to want to see him so soon.

He immediately realized what was happening, bowed, and replied, "I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

"See you later, Qin Yan!"

Xia Chengqian waved to Qin Yan, his face showing reluctance.

A moment later, a group of officials followed.

At the same time, an official dressed in the uniform of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau walked over.

"This humble official, Kuo Xiong of the Demon-Searching Bureau, greets Inspector Qin!"

General Qi Hong, the Northern Demon-Suppression General, has ordered me to escort Lord Qin to the Demon-Suppressing Bureau!

Kuo Xiong said with a smile!

"I never expected General Qi to personally send someone; I am truly flattered."

Qin Yan was extremely surprised.

"Lord Qin, please don't underestimate yourself."

Your name has already spread throughout the entire Capital. You've really given our Demon-Suppressing Bureau a lot of face.

Kuo Xiong replied with a smile, "Now, not only General Qi, but even Lord Guozhu wants to meet you."

"I didn't expect even the Elder Pillar of the State to be alarmed."

Qin Yan's heart stirred with emotion. The pillar of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau was a true minister of the highest rank.

Supreme Pillar of the State held a transcendent position.

The Demon-Suppressing Bureau was personally established by this old man, both by the military and the Demon-Suppressing Bureau.

Many of the people inside were personally trained by this old man.

However, this pillar of the state had long since ceased to be involved in affairs; he was nominally the highest commander of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau.

But the real responsibility for carrying out the work rested with the four generals who guarded the four directions.

The leader of them is the Northern Demon-Suppression General!

Responsible for the security of the north and Capital.

His own strength had already reached the level of Supreme Grandmaster!

Although the Demon-Suppressing Bureau didn't see you for a particularly long time,

However, the hidden power within should not be underestimated. There are five Supreme Grandmasters on the surface, four generals, and the Elder Pillar of the State.

Red Star Daoist did not disclose this to the public.

I just arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Bureau.

Qin Yan detected no fewer than thirty auras at the level of Innate Martial Artists or above.

His arrival drew curious glances from many onlookers.

Soon he met a terrifying figure whose aura was as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

The elderly man with graying hair had sharp, piercing eyes. He looked at Qin Yan with a hint of approval in his eyes!

This person is none other than the Northern Demon-Suppression General:

Qi Hong!
