Chapter 170 - 93: Breaking Army Meets White Tiger_2
Li Guanyi wondered what had befallen the Qilin that made it act so wildly.
Why would it go berserk like this?
The alchemists had strengthened the formation, increasing the chains from eight to eighteen, and also increased the suppression force. Now, these chains fully restrained the Qilin, and the Ritual Eunuch realized the severity of the matter. He felt that it was proper to strike a conversation with this young military officer, who was highly regarded by the noble concubine.
Moreover, there were other important matters today, and he needed to wait here.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Guanyi said, "Prior to this, I was unaware that Chen Country also had the protection of a divine beast like the Qilin."
The Ritual Eunuch faced toward the Imperial Palace and bowed with a smile, "Indeed, Great Chen has a Saint Emperor and is blessed with famous scholars like clouds and literati like rain. The orthodox lineage of literature is here, the heart of the Nine Provinces is here, the heart of the world’s citizens is here; such a place is the Land of Invincibility. Therefore, divine auspiciousness would naturally occur wishing to stay by His Highness’ side."
"Since ancient times, the Qilin has followed only the gentleman and the Saint, and it chooses to stay within the palace."
"Doesn’t this prove that the Chen Emperor is a Saint?"
"The Emperor, grateful and fearful, constructed Qilin Palace for the auspicious creature to reside in, and called upon renowned experts to forge this Great Formation of the Four Symbols to protect the Qilin in Qilin Palace from external disturbances, including the Formation brought here by Captain Li."
