Chapter 580 A Heng (1/2)
Lei Jing had predicted this as previously there were already rumors about this matter. However, the fact that uncle ordered Guan Longzi to be there right after he finished explaining Lianshanyi to her was something she could not comprehend.
She accepted the decree with respect. Immediately after she felt the abstruse Qi had descended on her. If she had not obtained the Xuanmen's essence from Shen Lian and developed the treasure of her own bloodline, it would be hard for her to detect the Qi.
As she was aware of some of the essence of Lianshanyi, she knew this Qi was the Qi of dragon. The Qi of dragon was not unique to men. It was tied to the fate of a country as Guan Longzi had said to her before. If the ruler of a country had an exuberant Qi of Dragon, Qi cultivators would not attempt to kill him because of the repercussion.
This sort of repercussion even if it did not cause any harm to the Qi cultivators, it would cause harm to people who were related to him by karma. For the Qi cultivators who were seeking the path of celestials and freedom, they naturally would not do such a thing.
However, if the Qi cultivators knew about the laws of heaven, they did not need to handle the rulers by themselves. The higher the cultivation level, the less frequent one needed to kill anyone with his own hands. One reason was to avoid troubles, another reason was that one took into account the countless revenge that would follow suit. With just some planning, one could simply have a scapegoat.
”Is the king free? Can I meet him?” Si Jing's clear eyes gazed at the eunuch and it sent chills down his spine. It was not the first time he met noblewoman Jing. This time around, other than her polished behavior, she seemed to be more unpredictable and that made him fear.
The eunuch said, ”Princess, the king said that after you accept the decree, you have to leave for the nominated country immediately.”
Si Jing's eyebrows furrowed, ”Did the king mention about Guan Longzi?”
The eunuch replied, ”King mentioned that Guan Longzi can be released from the jail and he will regain his position as the Prefect Grand Astrologer.”
Si Jing let out a sigh of relief and said, ”That's good.”
The eunuch said, ”The guards of honor are outside on standby, princess. Please get going.”
Si Jing nodded and she turned to look at Guan Longzi. He smiled at her and cupped his hands. Si Jing then followed the servants out of the jail.
However, when she was on her way out, she still felt hanging as if it was the last time she was going to see Guan Longzi.
When Si Jing was outside, the guards of honor were all ready and her servant A Heng was a part of the guards of honor. There were six horses for Lei Jing's cart. They were all white, except for their hooves which were black.
This type of horse was not of the pegasus strain which could fly but it could travel up to thirty thousand miles in a day. It was also known as walking swallow.
The emperor rode on eight horses and Lei Jing had six. One could obviously tell Emperor Xia's liking towards her because of the status. Furthermore, she was granted the surname Si and with a country nominated to her. It was natural for anyone to call her princess.
