Lu Bu's Transfer Order

Chu Xuanao slowly walked out from the back hall, wearing a red robe with python patterns, and a black and gold Dingyou Sword hanging at his waist. He walked with his head held high and his expression was calm, exuding majesty.

Surrounded by Qiuyue Shuangxue, Ghost Servant, and Xiao Dezi, the four of them followed closely behind.

Lu Bu, Zhu Wushi, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Bai Yi, Chen Gong, and others all bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

As Chu Xuanao sat in the main seat, Qiuyue Shuangxue stood beside him. Qiuyue held a knife in her hand, which was almost identical in style to the sword at Chu Xuanao's waist. Apart from the difference in the type of knife and sword, they were very similar. It was the Zhenyou Saber.

Shuangxue held the Xinglong Staff in both hands. The two stood side by side on either side of Chu Xuanao, waiting respectfully. Li Yi, who was bowing, caught a glimpse of the Xinglong Staff out of the corner of his eye, and lowered his waist even further. He knew it was something like that.

Chu Xuanao's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Li Yi, and he spoke.

"Gentlemen, rise."

"Eunuch Li, I thought I wouldn't see you again after being Enfeoffed as King, but I never expected you to come to You Province today. It has been quite a while since we last met."

Li Yi, who was being stared at by Chu Xuanao, felt an invisible pressure on his body, and felt inexplicably heavy. He was startled. He was all too familiar with this invisible aura and this look.

Confident, domineering, even arrogant, with an innate air of control, he was no different from His Majesty when he first showed his talent.

It's only been a short time!

Less than two months later, is this still the same carefree prince who lived in the Tiandu City?

Suddenly, Li Yi's body trembled violently as several sharp gazes fell upon him like knives.

Coming to his senses, he saw that Lu Bu, Ghost Servant, Zhu Wushi, and Bai Yi were all looking at him. Although they were smiling, a cold glint seemed to flash in their eyes.

His Your Highness greeted you first upon arrival; isn't that respectful enough?

As a result, you old eunuch just stood there motionless, silent, lost in thought, and even put on airs. Why do Your Highness to personally serve you a cup of tea?

Seeing the Prince of Qin sitting above with a smile on his lips, Li Yi quickly spoke.

"Your Highness is truly breathtaking, with unparalleled elegance. I was momentarily captivated by Your Highness Li Yi's beauty; I beg Your Highness's forgiveness."

Chu Xuanao didn't seem to care at all, and asked casually.

"Nothing much. May I ask what imperial decree my Imperial Father has for Eunuch Li's visit to You Province?"

Li Yi cleared his throat and said respectfully.

"Your Highness, this great victory in You Province is a cause for celebration throughout the land. This old servant came to You Province first on His Majesty's orders, but the imperial decree does not rest with me. Please Your Highness a few more days, Your Highness. All the rewards and Imperial Decree will arrive shortly."

"This old servant has come here on orders to check on Your Highness. Since the war began in You Province, His Majesty has been very worried about Your Highness's safety. Now that I see Your Highness is unharmed and even more radiant than before, I can return to His Majesty with a clear conscience. Furthermore..."

After a pause, Li Yi looked at Lu Bu and said again.

"Furthermore, General Lü rose to fame in the Battle of Youzhou. He killed Liu Xue of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect Huangfu Sheng, the commander of the Immeasurable Iron Cavalry, and killed the Second Elder of the Great Feng Imperial Clan with nine arrows. He led his army to pursue the remnants of the Great Feng for a hundred miles, galloping across the battlefield and being Unparalleled."

"His iron cavalry is also incredibly brave; even the 50,000 Great Feng Immeasurable Iron Cavalry are no match for him. The name of Lu Fengxian of the Prince of Qin's Manor's Mansion is known throughout the world; he is called the Flying General, and he strikes fear into the hearts of the Great Feng."

"His Majesty also admires General Lü, and this time he specially issued an imperial decree, instructing this old servant to deliver it to General Lü."

As he spoke, Li Yi took out a bright yellow Imperial Decree from his sleeve, looked at Lu Bu, and gestured for him to accept the edict.

Lu Bu, however, turned his gaze to Chu Xuanao. He didn't recognize the emperor; His Your Highness hadn't even ascended the throne yet.

After seeing Chu Xuanao nod, Lu Bu knelt on one knee, ready to receive the imperial decree.

Seeing Lu Bu's actions, Li Yi's eyes showed some surprise. This Lu Bu, with his eyes and that incomparably arrogant temperament, was this man truly so loyal to the Prince of Qin?

He immediately straightened his expression, opened the Imperial Decree, and read aloud.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: In the Battle of You Province, Lu Bu of the Prince of Qin's Manor distinguished himself with outstanding military achievements... Effective immediately, Lu Bu shall be appointed as a fourth-rank General of Zhenhu and transferred to the Tiandu City to Commander of the Capital Garrison decree."

Upon hearing the imperial decree, Lu Bu looked towards Chu Xuanao, who was also frowning, utterly perplexed. Why was Lu Bu being transferred to the Capital?

What exactly is this old man trying to do?

However, he nodded and told Lu Bu to accept the decree first, and then deal with Li Yi first.

Seeing Chu Xuanao nod in agreement, Lu Bu immediately spoke.

"Your subject Lu Bu receives the imperial decree."

After Lu Bu received the Imperial Decree, Li Yi gave him instructions with a smile.

"General Lü, you may take eight hundred personal guards with you on this trip to the Capital. Time is of the essence, so prepare quickly and depart within three days to reach the Tiandu City."

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashing within them. His tone was cold and tinged with emotion as he spoke.

"This general understands."

If it weren't for His Your Highness's instructions, Lu Bu would have really wanted to punch this smiling old eunuch. He had only just arrived to make his mark, and someone was already trying to transfer him away. He hadn't even taken over the Land of Cangshui for His Your Highness yet, and hadn't even marched on Great Feng.

Transferred to the Capital, Lu Bu of the Prince of Qin's Manor rose to become Dagan of the fourth rank, and a commander of troops in the important Capital. It was an instantaneous rise from a commoner to a fourth-rank official, which should have been an honorable thing.

But Lu Bu didn't like it. The You Province Capital, where he could ride freely by His Your Highness's side. If it were his Your Highness sitting on the throne, he would have no problem appointing him as the commander of the garrison.

Unfortunately, no. Could just anyone be someone Lu Bu would guard?

Li Yi didn't care about Lu Bu's attitude; he had seen too much of that over the years. He then turned to Chu Xuanao and tentatively asked, "..."

"Your Highness, General Lü needs to take someone with him on his trip to the Capital. He requires Your Highness's permission."

Li Yi knew that the man was in the hands of the Prince of Qin, and without the King's approval, things would likely not go smoothly.

Without Li Yi saying the name, Chu Xuanao already knew who it was, and casually said something.

"Imperial Father, do you want Huangfu Sheng, whom I possess?"

Li Yi nodded.

"Yes, Your Highness. General Lü's capture of Huangfu Sheng is a great achievement. He will be taking Huangfu Sheng with him on his journey to the capital. The Great Feng should have already departed. Huangfu Sheng will be useful later, so it's a good opportunity for General Lü to bring him along."

"Very well, I understand."

After saying this, Li Yi immediately prepared to leave and said...

"Your Highness, His Majesty has another message for this old servant to deliver to the Shenying Marquis Manor and Prefect Lu Shuangxing. I have to make two more trips, and time is of the essence, so this old servant will take my leave now."

When he came to Zhenyou City, the first person he came to see was the Prince of Qin. He had no choice but to come to the Prince of Qin first, because in terms of status, no one in You Province was more noble than the Prince of Qin.

Regardless of whether there was an imperial decree or not, he had to pay a visit to the Prince of Qin first, even if it was just to offer his greetings, let alone the fact that it was His Majesty's will and he was carrying an imperial decree.

Chu Xuanao nodded, stood up and walked forward, speaking as he went.

"I am grateful for your help on this trip, Eunuch Li. Please convey my greetings to the Imperial Father Eunuch Li my behalf, and also tell Imperial Father that I will govern my fiefdom well, protect the peace of this region, and will never disgrace the Imperial Father Dagan."

As she approached Li Yi, spoke to him, and took his hand, she secretly slipped two items into Li Yi's hand.

Upon noticing the extra item in his hand, Li Yi smiled broadly and spoke with a mixture of respect and joy.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely deliver it."
