Chapter 164: The General's Manor

  Yang Yu Xi Hu Qi Ma was received as a noble guest by Zhou Yu Xiao and entered the palace, living in a magnificent and luxurious palace.

  Even if the Zhou royal family is not extravagant, the scenery in the palace is still unmatched by any other place. In the first few days, Yang Yuxi followed Zhou Yu under his leadership and roughly browsed through the palace with great interest.

  These days, he has become somewhat bored.

  Zhou Yu Xiao is a princess, if she comes to his place every day, it will cause gossip, so she didn't come today either.

  Yang Yu Xi tossed and turned on the bed, finally got bored, slapped the bed and got up, pushed the door out.

  The bright sunlight outside gently stroked his face, and only when the sunlight shone on him did he feel that his body, which had been cooped up in the house all day, was somewhat relieved. The cells inside his body seemed to have started working again.

  Young people should grow up in the sunshine!

  After being exposed to the sun like this, Yang Yu Xi's brain turned even faster, and suddenly thought of why he would follow Zhou Yu Xuan back to Beijing.

  Then he slapped his head hard and finally remembered why he came to the capital. He looked around in all directions and walked towards the outside of the palace.

  ………………………………

  Yang Yu Xi walked out of the imperial palace on his own, with a token given by Zhou Yu Xiao, and even the guards at the palace gate did not dare to stop him.

  After winding and turning, Yang Yuxi stopped in front of a huge mansion next to the imperial palace.

  General's Mansion

  As its name suggests, this is the mansion of the Grand General of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Grand General is the highest military officer and the highest position that a military officer in the Great Zhou can attain.

  The Grand General has an official rank equal to that of the Chancellor and can be called the left and right arms of the Son of Heaven.

  Yang Yu Xi came to find the person, is the General, these days in the palace atmosphere is very tense, heard from Zhou Yu Xiao, officials above the third rank have been summoned back, this General must also be in the capital.

  Yang Yu Xi calmed her nerves, gripped the thing in her hand tightly and headed towards the General's residence.

  "Halt!" The guards in front of General Yang's mansion didn't recognize Yang Yuxi, and seeing him walk over, they hastily stopped him.

  "Who are you?" The guard looked Yang Yuxi up and down before asking.

  Yang Yu Xi frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, but having stayed in the imperial palace for a few days, she knew some of the rules.

  Thinking of this, he didn't give the two guards a hard time either, and smiled as he said: "I'd like to request an audience with General, please pass on the message."

  "Got an appointment?" the guard asked, eyeing him again.

  "An appointment?!" Yang Yu Xi was taken aback.

  The guard's face suddenly turned ugly: "No appointment, get out! Does he think the General is someone who can be seen by anyone? I've seen many little brats like you! Get out, get out, get out!"

  Another guard came up and pushed Yang Yuxi.

  Yang Yu Xi was pushed down the stairs, looking very displeased. However, it's impossible for him to just leave like this. He had only just remembered this matter, what if he left and forgot again?

  But what if I'm not allowed in?

  Yang Yu Xi's brain doesn't have so many rules, others don't let me in, I can just go in myself!

  He didn't hesitate at all, and stepped up the stairs again. This time his eyes were even sharper than before. He stopped in front of the two guards: "You won't let me go in, so can I just go in myself?"

  The guards exchanged a glance, with some confusion in their eyes. They had seen people trying to force their way in before, but they had never seen anyone pretend to be stupid before doing so.

  One of the guards swallowed hard and secretly prepared for a fight: "Absolutely, no way!"

  "Oh." Yang Yu Xi seemed to nod in understanding, and just as the two guards let out a sigh of relief, they heard Yang Yu Xi say, "But I must go in."

  Two guards instinctively rushed over to block the way, holding their weapons. Yang Yuxi didn't even look at them, and a formless aura emanated from his body, causing the two guards to fly out like sandbags as soon as they collided with him, landing in the front yard behind the door.

  Yang Yu Xi took advantage of the opportunity to step over the threshold that symbolized the General's mansion, and set foot on the grounds of the General's mansion.

  Two guards clutched at their chests and shouted: "Come quickly, someone has broken into the mansion!"

  The two guards looked at Yang Yu Xi with a gaze that was somewhat like looking at a monster. After all, they could become generals' guards and their own cultivation wouldn't be too weak. Yet, at this moment, they were actually shaken back by the aura of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth!

  Before his words had even faded away, the entire General's Manor seemed to have been stirred up, with countless guards rushing over from all directions, their knives flashing brightly in the light.

  However, these guards, although numerous, generally only had cultivation levels around Extreme Dust One Heaven, which was far from enough for Yang Yuxi to take seriously.

  When one's skills have reached a certain level, having more is useless.

  Yang Yu Xi had not moved since entering the General's mansion, and he just watched as the guards swarmed in like ants, covering the sky and earth, surrounding him so tightly that water couldn't even seep through.

  The two guards who had previously picked up the knives that had fallen to one side also joined the dense crowd of guards, staring fiercely at Yang Yu Xi.

  The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive for a moment, like the calm before a storm.

  Someone shouted: "Up!"

  All the guards almost simultaneously jumped up, their swords and knives raised high, the sunlight reflecting off them dazzlingly, as specks of light flashed across Yang Yuxi's body.

  Under the sunlight, swords and knives smile, the young man slightly raises his head.

  "Boom!"

  An even stronger aura burst out suddenly, with Yang Yuxi as the center, instantly creating a vacuum zone, where no enemy could invade.

  The guards crashed into the vacuum belt and were all bounced back, some fell to the ground, and others hit the wall, wailing in unison.

  The other guards stared blankly at their fallen comrade, exchanging hesitant glances and wavering on whether to continue charging forward.

  Yang Yu Xi tilted her head, pouted her mouth, seemed to think of something and patted her forehead, regardless of the many people still lying around, she walked towards the government office by herself.

  "Halt, young hero!" A voice that sounded like it had aged well came from behind the layers of guards, who upon hearing this voice, visibly relaxed and parted ways.

  Yang Yu Xi also stopped in his tracks, looking through the gap opened up by the guards. An old man with a spirited and radiant aura walked over quickly, his strides were large but he walked very steadily, not showing any signs of being an elderly person at all. At first glance, it was clear that his cultivation was extremely high.

  Yang Yu Xi's heart sank a little, because the old man's strength was even higher than his. To think that Yang Yu Xi was already at the Tian Ren realm, and in the eyes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was considered to be among the ranks of the strong.

  The old man in front of him, if Yang Yu Xi wasn't mistaken, was probably already at the Legendary Realm.

  In the blink of an eye, the old man had already walked to Yang Yuxi's side. He didn't look like an old man at all, except for his silver-white hair and wrinkles; his back was straight, and he breathed vigorously.

  "Don't mind them, these underlings don't know any better." The old man smiled to himself, thinking he was being very benevolent, and waved his hand for the guards to withdraw.

  Yang Yu Xi slightly furrowed his brow, turned his head to avoid looking at the old man, and instead gazed at the guards who were leaving with the support of their companions, suddenly feeling that they were very pitiful.

  It's really sad...

  Working hard for others until death, but in the end only getting a sentence "These underlings are ungrateful"…

  For some reason, Yang Yuxi was very resistant to the natural and noble tone of the old man's words, so much so that he didn't like the look of the entire General's Mansion anymore, and just wanted to finish his business and leave as soon as possible.

  "I'm looking for General." Yang Yu Xi didn't bother with small talk and said directly, his tone somewhat unpleasant.

  The old man's official smile on his face paused for a moment, and the young man in front of him was speaking without looking at him but at those servants below. He felt inexplicably annoyed in his heart, but at his age, he still had some demeanor. Yang Yuxi was not very old, but his cultivation was extremely high. If such a genius could be recruited under General Shang's command, it would be a wonderful thing.

  The old man continued to smile: "Young master, you've come to see the general... I'm the steward of the General's mansion, my surname is Liu. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Liu..."

  "I'm looking for General Liu." Yang Yu Xi rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, with a head full of white hair, I call you Uncle Liu? Why don't you let me call you Big Brother Liu instead?

  Liu Guanjia smiled: "I am the steward of the General's mansion, I can naturally take you to see the General, my surname is Liu, you can call me Uncle Liu..."

  Yang Yu Xi suppressed the anger in his heart, clenched his fists tightly, lowered his head and walked past Liu Guan's house, heading straight inside.

  Liu Guan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he let out a low hum as he turned around to block Yang Yuxi's path. His tone had already turned chilly: "Hold on, you haven't even said who you are."

  Somehow, Liu Guan's tone of keeping people at arm's length made Yang Yu Xi feel a lot more at ease.

  Yang Yu Xi looked up at him and met his gaze without fear, saying: "I am Yang Yu Xi, I have come to see General Shang."

  Liu Guanjia nodded and, contrary to his previous verbosity, walked briskly to Yang Yuxi's side and said, "Alright, come with me."

  Yang Yu Xi also nodded and followed him.

  Liu Guan quickly led Yang Yu Xi into a side hall, the side hall was used to entertain some ordinary guests, not formal.

  Anyway, Yang Yuxi's concept didn't have these things either. He stayed in the side hall waiting according to Liu Guan's orders.

  Liu Guan's family and the hastily arriving servant exchanged a few words in hushed tones, then hurriedly left, casting a deeply meaningful glance at Yang Yu Xi before departing.

  Yang Yu Xi was engrossed in polishing the expensive wooden table and chairs, without looking at him.

  ………………………………

  "Sir." In the General's mansion, outside the General's study, Liu Guan stood respectfully.

  "What's going on?" came the voice of General Shang from inside the house, calm and authoritative, clearly a man who held real power, in fact he controlled almost all military affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

  "A young man named Yang Yuxi has burst into the mansion, saying he wants to see you."

  "I don't know you, get out."

  Liu Guan took a step forward, lowering his voice and saying: "But this young man is not yet fifteen years old and has already reached the Tian Ren realm in his cultivation. This speed is far beyond that of even Rong Qiao and others."

  The door of the study opened and a tall, majestic middle-aged man appeared in front of Liu Guan's family. The man had thick whiskers on his upper lip, looking stern and majestic.
