Chapter 415: The Army Sets Off

His voice was not loud, but because he was on the high platform, the drums around him harmonized, and his cold voice revealed a different aura that echoed in the wind.

His battle-ready aura instantly swept through the entire battle ground.

The warriors were emotional. They raised the weapons in their hands and shouted, “With this, we can defeat the enemy…”

Then, another soldier chimed in, “With this, how can we fail?!”

“With this, how can we not destroy the enemy?!”

“With this, what can go wrong! ! ”

His voice was like thunder, resounding through the clouds.

Eunuch He, who was in front of the emperor, had specially been ordered by the emperor to come with Yin Huaixi to watch the sacrificial ceremony. When he saw Yin Huaixi sitting on the high platform, his anger was obvious, and he was arrogant.

Then, he looked at the morale of the 100,000 soldiers below.

Eunuch He couldn’t help but glance at Yin Huaixi’s legs. Even someone who usually didn’t show his emotions couldn’t help but reveal a hint of pity.

He had followed the emperor for decades. Every time a soldier went out to war, he would represent the emperor to attend the sacrificial ceremony. It was rare to see someone like Young Master Yin. He was weak, crippled, and sick.

However, as soon as the three armies were presented to him, he became the leader of the three armies.

Yin Huaixi wasn’t just a general, but a handsome commander.

It was easy to get a general, but difficult to get a handsome one.

Yin Huaixi burned incense in front of the incense table. As his legs were inconvenient, he symbolically kowtowed three times and nine times, and the soldiers below followed.

After the sacrificial ceremony, Yin Huaixi ordered someone to prepare wine and meat for the soldiers.

Yin Huaixi raised his bronze wine bottle high and raised his voice. “Today, we’ll drink together in this world. In the future, we’ll definitely not let you down on the battlefield. Cheers—”

He raised his gla.s.s to the sky and drank heroically.

“F*ck—” Just like him, the soldiers raised their gla.s.ses and drank.

At this moment, the ceremony ended.

Eunuch He returned to the palace to report to the emperor.

After hearing about the sacrifice, the emperor asked, “How confident do you think we are in quelling the rebellion in Shandong this time?

Even though Eunuch He had carefully instructed the drill ground to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pondered over his words, his words still revealed a different emotion.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Eunuch He’s forehead. He lowered his head. “I don’t dare to speak nonsense.”

The emperor glanced at him with an unreadable expression. “I forgive you.”

Eunuch He felt a little relieved, but he did not heave a sigh of relief. He could only consider his words and say, “The emperor once said that Prince You has the demeanor of his father. From what I see, Young Master Yin is like his tiger father.” He estimated that the emperor would definitely be dissatisfied with such official words. He added, “Your Majesty, you didn’t see it. When Young Master Yin sat on the high platform, his aura was even stronger than those old generals in the court who had been on the battlefield for a long time. I reckon that Young Master Yin is capable.”

King You guarded Youzhou and forced the Di people to retreat 50 miles. He had made a great contribution to expanding the territory. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was an exemplar.

Eunuch He did not dare to criticize Yin Huaixi openly, but he indirectly said that Yin Huaixi was like his father. This meant that Yin Huaixi also had the demeanor of an exemplar.

The emperor was silent for a long time before sighing softly. “What a pity!’

Eunuch He finally heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that he had pa.s.sed this stage.

The Precious Peace Temple was located on a higher ground. Yu Youyao stood on the lamp tower and watched as the army followed the official road. It was endless, like an endless long dragon winding around.

Chun Xiao was very excited. ‘Young Miss, it’s the army to suppress the rebellion. I didn’t expect to see it at the Precious Peace Temple.”

Yu Youyao thought to herself, ‘The army is on the official road. The Precious Peace Temple is located outside the city and on the mountain. Of course we can see it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come!’

Chun Xiao suddenly understood. “Young Miss, don’t tell me you insisted on coming to the Precious Peace Temple just to watch the commotion!”

Young Miss had liked to watch the commotion since she was young. As the young miss of an official family, she couldn’t run onto the official road like ordinary people. The Precious Peace Temple was located at a high and quiet spot. As long as she brought more people along and Nanny Xu followed, Old Madam couldn’t stop her.

Young Miss was really getting more and more cunning.

Yu Youyao felt a little guilty. “Of course I’m here to pray for Cousin. Watching the commotion is just a bonus. Besides, I’m not the only one who wants to watch the commotion. On the way to the Precious Peace Temple this morning, didn’t we see many commoners queuing up to see them leave the city and send them off on the official road in the suburbs?”

This was the first time the master and servant had seen such a magnificent scene. They couldn’t help but fee]. a little excited.

Chun Xiao’s sharp eyes noticed that there were a few carriages mixed in with the army. She reached out and pointed over. “Young Miss, look. Prince Yin must be sitting in one of the carriages. I wonder which one it is.”

Yu Youyao also saw the carriage. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the fence and leaned forward. “The carriage that Young Master Yin is in is definitely the best. As for the other carriages, they’re probably the palace servants sent by the emperor to serve Young Master Yin and the expensive items he uses every day. It’s just that they’re a little far away, so I can’t see them clearly.”

The training grounds in the suburbs of the capital were all in the mountains. Even from the Precious Peace Temple, one could not see them clearly.

The army was endless. After a full hour, they could still be vaguely seen.

The master and servant stayed in the Lantern Pavilion for a long time.

Chun Xiao looked at the time. It was almost noon, so she said, “Young Miss, it’s getting late. If you don’t go back soon, Nanny Xu will be worried about you.” Yu Youyao watched the army leave. After a while, she said, “Let’s go!’

After leaving the Lantern Pavilion, Yu Youyao went to the Hall of Treasures to pray. When she pa.s.sed by the pot of lots on the table, she stopped in her tracks and hesitated for a long time. She pursed her lips and left the hall.

Chun Xiao could tell that Young Miss really wanted to draw a lot. She was probably worried that if she drew a bad lot, it would be inauspicious, so she could only give up.

After leaving the hall, Yu Youyao immediately saw the Bodhi tree in the distance. The green cover was like a cloud. In a daze, she recalled the wis.h.i.+ng silk she had thrown onto the Bodhi tree on the day of the Buddhist Festival.

Unknowingly, she had arrived under the Bodhi tree.

The auntie selling wis.h.i.+ng silk was not at the stall, but it was in place. There was a sign on it that marked the price of all kinds of wis.h.i.+ng silk. After paying, they could take a piece of silk.

The visitors who came to the Precious Peace Temple were all believers. Most of the visitors who made wishes had pious hopes, so they naturally did not dare to act rashly under the nose of Buddha.

Yu Youyao had originally wanted to buy another wis.h.i.+ng silk to wish her cousin safety.

However, she remembered that one couldn’t be too greedy. Since she had made a wish, she would pray for this wish for the rest of her life. She could only pray for Cousin’s health with sincerity.

Yu Youyao pressed her palms together, closed her eyes, and recited a Buddhist scripture under the tree.

The Lotus Sutra was a scripture of virtue.

If he reads, recites, explains and writes, she will get 800 eye merit points and 1,200 ear merit points.

800 nose merit points and 1,200 tongue merit points;

800 body merit points and 1,200 virtue merit points.

As the merit was dignified, all six of them would lead to peace..
