357 Chapter 357 I am walking alone, as if I am leading a million lions!

The towering city wall, the medieval architectural style, and the moat around the city wall were dug out. To be able to complete such a building in such an era, the empire was indeed powerful.

In terms of the area and area, it was worthy of being the capital of a country.

When Najenda and the others led the army into the city gate, Ye Zai was also able to see the town behind the city wall.

Should it be said that it was worthy of being the imperial capital?

Compared with the villages and towns they passed by along the way, it was simply a world of difference.

There was an endless stream of people on the streets, and people in noble costumes could be seen everywhere. There was also a lot of traffic on the main road, and there were countless gorgeous carriages coming and going.

The technology of this world seemed to be a bit strange. There were all kinds of firearms such as guns and cannons, but the people here, whether it was clothing or productivity, remained in the medieval era.

But in any case, as the capital, this place was indeed quite prosperous.

If Ye Zai hadn't watched this movie, he might have thought that the monarch who ruled this country was a very good person.

But Ye Zai, who knew the plot well, knew that although the imperial capital was prosperous on the surface, it was actually full of dirty darkness behind.

Those nobles who were well-dressed at this time might be evil spirits in human skin at night.

Often, the more prosperous the surface, the more shadows there would be.

Ye Zai followed Najenda all the way to the palace. Compared with the prosperous streets, the palace in the capital was obviously more magnificent.

When Ye Zai came to the palace and saw the so-called emperor, he was really stunned.

The one sitting on the throne was not the little brat Emperor that he was familiar with. There were also no potbellied ministers standing beside him who were chewing meat in big mouthfuls.

Instead, it was an old man with a crown on his head …

Obviously, Ye Zai came early. At this time, the old emperor of the empire hadn't died yet, and the little emperor hadn't ascended the throne yet.

Although the potbellied minister still had great power, when the old emperor was still alive, he didn't have the power to cover the sky.

"Your Majesty, in this battle in the northern wilderness, our army won a complete victory. The head of the foreign leader who invaded our border is here, and the northern aliens also chose to surrender unconditionally."

Najenda knelt on one knee and reported the result of this battle to the old emperor on the throne.

"General Najenda, this time it's really hard for you. General Budo needs to defend the capital, and Esdeath is fighting in the south. This time, thanks to you to solve the threat in the north."

The old emperor stepped down from the throne, came to Najenda, patted her on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction.

Obviously, before the ministers came to power, this old emperor was not bad, and the empire was not so corrupt that it was hopeless.

"It's my duty to do everything I can for the Empire.

Also, I would like to boldly recommend a talent to Your Majesty. This time, we were able to force the Northerners to surrender so quickly because of this person who single-handedly killed their leader. "

Speaking of this, Najenda had the time to take a look at Yezai behind her.

But when she looked back, she was almost scared to death.

She saw that Ye Zai was standing facing the old emperor at this time, and they were staring at each other as if they were studying what kind of creature the "emperor" was …

Najenda pulled Ye Zai hard while constantly apologizing to the old emperor, "Your Majesty, he came from the countryside, so he is a little rude in terms of etiquette. I hope Your Majesty doesn't blame him."

As Najenda apologized, she kept scolding Yezai, the hothead, in her heart.

Isn't it basic etiquette for normal people to kneel when they see the emperor?

Don't the countryside people even know this?

"I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of kneeling to people, and I want to seek a position for the civilians outside, not just for someone."

Asking Ye Zai to kneel?

Isn't this a joke?

So what if he doesn't join the empire?

To put it bluntly, with his current strength, joining the empire was simply giving them face.

Najenda was scared to death by Ye Zai's straightforwardness. She now regretted bringing Ye Zai over just now.

If the old emperor was angry, both of them might not be able to walk out of the palace.

In fact, when he heard Ye Zai's nonsense just now, General Budo, who was standing quietly at the side, had already pulled out his sword and stepped forward, and lightning flashed on his body.

But General Budo, who was about to step forward, was stopped by the old emperor.

The tolerance of the old emperor was obviously beyond the expectations of everyone present.

For the obvious rude Ye Zai, the old emperor didn't blame him, but his eyes burst out with light as he looked at Ye Zai seriously.

"Are you serious about what you said just now?"

Although Ye Zai didn't know what trick the old emperor wanted to play, he wasn't afraid at all.

Even if the old emperor really wanted to kill him, so what?

With these people here, could they be lazy to stop him?

At most, he could directly fight his way out of the palace and then join the rebellion army. When the young emperor and the ministers were promoted, he, Ye Zai, could still fight the empire!

"Yes, I won't serve one person, and no one is worthy of me doing this!"

Ye Zai's blunt words instantly caused the atmosphere to turn cold.

Although Najenda agreed with what Ye Zai said, she secretly scolded Ye Zai for being a fool. At least look at the situation.

You bluntly said in front of the king of a country, "Give up, I'm working for the people, not for you." Is this f * cking appropriate?

"Hahahaha, then you should at least tell me what ability you have, right?

If you don't have the ability, I will think that you are teasing me with what you said just now, and I will sentence you to death. "

In this tense atmosphere, the old Emperor laughed loudly when he heard Ye Zai's words.

The loud laughter reverberated throughout the hall, causing everyone to wonder if the old Emperor was truly happy or laughing out of anger.

"What ability do I have?" Ye Zai thought for a moment and also replied with a meaningful smile.

"If I move forward alone, it's like leading a million lions!"

With a confident smile, Ye Zai spat out a rather domineering sentence.

And this sentence instantly made everyone in the hall fall into a daze. They wanted to laugh and laugh at the arrogance of this young man.

But when they looked at Ye Zai again, they found that they couldn't laugh.

Some of the ministers on the scene began to roll their eyes and fainted on the ground without knowing why.

And those generals' feet and stomachs unknowingly began to tremble.

Only strong generals like Najenda and Budo could stand firmly on the spot.

As for the old emperor, he couldn't stand steadily at first, but it was General Budo who supported him from behind.

And when the old emperor looked at Ye Zai again, he seemed to see the phantom of a million lions behind this young man. Just standing there alone was enough to make people's heart palpitate!
