Chapter 314 - 141: The Demeanor of a King, Chen Yuyun Must be Killed_2
Li Guanyi had a feeling of complete relief. He closed his eyes and whispered softly,
"That’s great..."
The safety of his aunt could finally take a brief breath.
The next day, as expected, many martial artists participated in the preliminary trial. Li Guanyi saw young faces wearing different armors arriving here, and far away at the giant martial arts platform, there was the Emperor’s chariot. Li Guanyi looked from afar with a solemn expression.
Even though it was just the preliminary trials, the Emperor only spent some time observing, yet his presence was still extravagantly luxurious: his imperial garb painted with sun, moon, stars, and constellations, and his leather headwear made of painted silk. There was also a procession of thirty-six thousand Yellow Banner guards and the magnificent imperial chariot, with the Empress and a hundred officials in ceremonial dress, all grandly adorned.
Luxurious and sumptuous, like a deity from the heavens.
Li Guanyi heard loud voices of admiration.
Even commoners proudly told people from the Western Regions that the majesty of the Emperor of the Central Plains was beyond the wildest imagination of such barbarians from beyond the borders. Li Guanyi saw that one commoner was not dressed in fine clothes, and one could even see stitches in the patches on his garments,
yet he was still proud of Emperor Chen’s majestic chariot.
Li Guanyi, dressed in armor and carrying a weapon, appeared with the Battle Halberd in hand.
Li Guanyi actually felt that during the preliminary trials, although there were many nobles and dignitaries, most of their attention — including that of their female family members — was not actually on the competing martial artists, even though these martial artists treated the competition as their opportunity.
