In the drizzle, the pirate ship led by Xu Zun successfully docked at the port.
"Master Xu!" On the deck, more than a dozen first-class warriors knelt down and clasped their fists at Xu Zun. "We are all willing to join the Divine Catcher Division, and we hope that your approval will be recommended!"
"Master Xu," one of the warriors said, "you are right, a great chivalrous person serves the country and the people not only in terms of martial arts, but in having a chivalrous heart!"
"Yes!" Another one said, "We have already deserted our master, and now that we have returned to Daxuan, we have nowhere to go. I hope you will understand me."
"Yes," another one said, "We have to do meaningful things, we can't just be reckless people for the rest of our lives..."
In this way, amidst everyone's petitions, Xu Zun nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay! It's rare for all heroes to understand the righteousness. Xu can guarantee that everyone can join the Divine Catcher Division!"
"Okay! That's great..." All the warriors were ecstatic and overjoyed.
At this time, the big ship docked at the port, and everyone began to get busy preparing to disembark.
Looking at the busy crowd, Huo Anu quietly came up behind Xu Zun and said, "Sir, the acting skills of the Mad Sword Goddess are really poor. I practiced with her so many times and still lost a lot of lines in the end."
"It doesn't matter..." Xu Zun shook his head slightly.
"Sir, I still don't understand," Huo Anu said, "Why do you want these warriors to join the Divine Catcher Division?"
"These people are knights who care about face. Talk to them directly," Xu Zun said, "They will never join. We can only act like this to make them want to join."
"Sir," Huo Anu frowned, "That's not what I meant. I'm asking you, why do you want them to join the Divine Catcher Division? Why don't you let them follow you?"
"Haha..." Xu Zun smiled, turned to look at Huo Anu, and asked, "Anu, I have always had a question. You have so many beautiful braids on your head, who did it for you?
?”
"Myself? What's wrong?" Huo Anu touched the braid on his head and became even more puzzled.
"Oh... okay!" Xu Zun nodded, and then answered her last question, "I asked the warriors to join the Divine Catching Division as a last ditch effort!"
"Struggle?" Huo Anu's face was full of questions, "Are you going to rebel?"
"..." Xu Zun was speechless and had no choice but to stretch out his hands to wrap his arms around Huo Anu's shoulders.
"Stop it!" Huo Anu quickly and tactfully avoided, "Why have you developed such a habit recently, always like to hug people's necks? Men and women hug each other. The other day I saw Lao Zhao almost choked by your hugs.
Got it!"
"Okay!" Xu Zun had no choice but to take it back and said, "It's just to enhance our relationship!"
"Sir," Huo Anu suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "Are you still worried that the Queen Mother will be unfavorable to you?"
"It's not a worry, it's a necessity!" Xu Zun said, "The prince's death is actually an unsolvable problem."
"But..." Huo Anu shook his head, "Does this have anything to do with the warriors joining the Divine Catcher Division?"
"Just because it doesn't matter, I said this is my last struggle!" Xu Zun said, "The rest can only depend on God's will!"
"Okay!" Huo Anu turned the iron umbrella and said, "No matter what you do, I will follow you!"
The simple words made Xu Zun deeply moved, and at the same time he felt deeply. I am afraid that among the people who followed him, only this girl from the Western Region was the purest, right?
only……
"Anu," Xu Zun pointed at Huo Anu's iron umbrella and asked, "I want to ask, is it raining now?"
"Yeah!" Huo Anu nodded.
"Do you have an umbrella?" Xu Zun asked again.
"Yes!" Huo Anu nodded again. After a few seconds, he understood what Xu Zun meant and hurriedly opened the iron umbrella to protect Xu Zun from the rain...
…
A few hours later, Xu Zun and others all disembarked.
Naturally, his personal bodyguards will follow him, and in addition, the Crown Princess, Yingying, the musicians and dancers, etc. will also be brought back to the Holy City to resume their lives.
Of course, not all first-class warriors want to follow Xu Zun and prepare to join the Divine Catcher Division.
Zhao Xin and several other warriors, because they still had missions for their respective families and sects, bid farewell to Xu Zun after disembarking from the ship and left on their own.
However, they all expressed their admiration for Xu Zun and said that if Xu Zun is of use to them in the future, he will go through fire and water without hesitation.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Xin and others, next came the Daxuan sailors headed by Wu Yubao.
Before that, Xu Zun had asked Hou Zhen to register them, and announced in person in front of everyone that the royal family would definitely reward them in the future when they returned to the Holy Capital.
The sailors were naturally very happy, and immediately bid farewell to Xu Zun and returned to Yongming County in Qizhou by land.
Next, Xu Zun specially thanked two people, naturally Xiao Zhennan and his wife.
On this trip to the East China Sea, without the help of these two heroes, Xu Zun would not have been able to complete the mission, and he should be the first to do so.
However, Xiao Zhennan and his wife did not care about the reward. They helped Xu Zun this time just to return a favor to the Zhao family.
Of course, the two of them also expressed their admiration for Xu Zun and expressed their willingness to listen to Xu Zun's instructions if necessary in the future.
After sending Xiao Zhennan and his wife away, Xu Zun began to prepare for returning to the Holy Capital.
The matter was so important that Xu Zun naturally did not dare to slack off at all. When he was about to write the secret document, he sent Asiuzai and others to rush to the Holy Capital overnight and report it to the Queen Mother.
Next, he did not care about dealing with Qingzhou officials, prepared horses and vehicles at the port, and led a large group of people to set off immediately to return to the Holy Capital.
However, how could such a huge ship dock at Jianmen Port not attract the attention of the imperial court?
Soldiers reported the situation to the Jianmen County Sheriff as soon as possible. When the County Sheriff learned that it was the fleet of the Daxuan Ti Punishment Officer returning from the East China Sea, he was frightened and panicked. He sent someone to report it to the Qingzhou Governor and personally led a group of people.
A team of people came to express condolences.
However, he chased out of Jianmen County and failed to catch up with Xu Zun's motorcade, so he could only watch and sigh.
Now that Xu Zun is surrounded by many experts, all of whom are first-rate warriors and knights, it is naturally impossible for him to slow down.
In this way, they traveled day and night, and it took only six days to return from Qingzhou to Xuanmyo City, the holy capital.
Sure enough, as Xu Zun expected, before they entered the city, they encountered a large number of internal guards who came to greet them.
The inner guards all had stern faces, showing no anger or intimidation. They said they were here to greet them, but they showed great intention to take over.
Fortunately, among these people, Xu Zun met an old acquaintance. This person was none other than Chen Taiji, the warden of the Ministry of Punishment!
oh?
After seeing Chen Taiji change his official uniform, Xu Zun had a premonition that Chen Taiji should have entered the inner guard and held an important position.
Sure enough, when Chen Taiji greeted Xu Zun, he told Xu Zun that he had taken over Cai Kun's position, and that he was the current right cabinet leader of the inner guard.
Xu Zun quickly congratulated him, but as soon as he said the word "congratulations", Chen Taiji directly pressed Xu Zun's hands and said extremely seriously:
"Jiying, the Queen Mother has a decree to order you to enter the palace as soon as possible!!!"
