The Emperor is Above

Chapter 123 Fortunately, I have always had a good temper (First update)
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-"

The dense sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the team behind soon caught up with the convoy.

"Whirl, hurl, hurl—"

A sturdy, chestnut wild horse with huge hooves quickly crossed the barrier of the convoy and stood in front. The man on the horse was none other than Ma Zhiyuan, the head of the Xiema Pavilion.

Following a burst of neighing from war horses, more than a dozen private soldiers riding ordinary war horses caught up and blocked the convoy's way together with Ma Zhiyuan.

At this time, Ma Zhiyuan looked a little embarrassed, his Yunhu crown was a little askew, and his gorgeous black robe was splashed with mud. It was obvious that he learned of Tun Shigu's movements in a hurry and chased after him without even changing his riding clothes.

The horse's hooves trampled the mud and grass along the way, and his body, belly and saddle were all splashed with yellow-brown mud spots, but he was completely unaware.

Ma Zhiyuan first glared at Tu Shigu fiercely, then with a frosty face, he stared at Qing Yi and asked, "Guqiu Yi, as a sergeant and a minister of nobility appointed by the king, you actually encouraged other nobles to move to Guqiu without permission? What is your intention?"

"How can Chief Ma slander me like this without any evidence? I cannot afford to be accused of such a crime!"

Qing Yi looked Ma Zhiyuan up and down, and sneered, "It is well known that I am a close friend of Tushi Gu Xiashi. Even the king knows this and promoted both of us to the title last month.

Now he has moved to Feng Aardvark Hill, a close neighbor of mine, Guqiu. I haven't seen him for several months, so he brought his family, wife and children to visit Guqiu. What's so strange about that?

It is better that Ma Zhiyuan, the pavilion chief, should not believe everything he hears. He has been accusing me of crimes just because I heard the words of a villain. Fortunately, I have always had a good temper. If I encounter such a situation in the future, I will understand it clearly in advance. "

"You--you are full of nonsense!"

Ma Zhiyuan was almost choked by Yi's words. He turned around angrily and threatened Tu Shigu, "Tu Shigu, you have to think clearly. What is the crime of moving the burial mound without permission?"

At first, Tu Shigu was a little evasive when he saw Ma Zhiyuan chasing him, but after hearing Qing Yi's words, he blinked his eyes and acted innocently: "I don't understand what you are saying, Pavilion Master. How could I move the fiefdom without permission? My Tuan family's fiefdom and house are still in good condition."

"Tonshigu——"

Ma Zhiyuan's face was as cold as frost. He stared at Tu Shigu closely and asked him word by word, "Don't think that you can be so reckless just because everyone asks you for something! Did Gu Qiuyi force you to do that?"

"Hey, Captain, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk too much!"

The chubby face of Tushi Gu was filled with a sincere and genuine expression, and his small eyes tried hard to express,

"Guqiu Yi and I are good brothers. What can he do to force me? I am just visiting with my wife and children.

As for the people in the caravan, they heard that Solitary Hill is close to Jiming Lake and there are many dangers. They are worried about me going alone and insist on escorting me all the way. It's so annoying."

Ma Zhiyuan, as the head of the pavilion, could do nothing about such lies. He said angrily, "Tun Shigu, even if you go to Guqiu as a guest, you still have to pay the taxes for the Tunqiu fiefdom as usual."

"Hey, why are you so angry, Captain? You know how much money I spent on building my Fengtu family house. I even left my family to look after it."

Tu Shigu still bowed sincerely and smiled apologetically,
"As for the taxes to be paid this year, you don't have to worry. Anyway, we didn't catch up with the spring plowing this year. I will buy enough grain to pay it during the autumn harvest."

"Captain Ma, Guqiu and your Xiema Pavilion are neighbors. Please come and visit us often when you have nothing to do!" Qing Yi nodded to Gongsun Wu, then waved goodbye to Ma Zhiyuan with a smile.

Ma Zhiyuan found that no one cared about his threats, and he could only watch the huge convoy carrying 200 people leave Xiema Pavilion and head towards Guqiu.

It was not until the shadow of the convoy disappeared among the tall grass in the wilderness that Ma Zhiyuan came back to his senses. He could not help but roar in grief and anger: "Master Tun Gu, you bastard, you haven't made any weapons for me yet."······
"Okay, I've offended someone again!" Tu Shigu shrugged helplessly, and smiled apologetically at Qing Yi, "Brother, I've offended Ma Zhiyuan, the pavilion chief. It will be difficult for me to survive in Tuqiu in the future. It all depends on whether your judgment is right or not."

According to Qing Yi's analysis, the cat ghost will use the wild people in the great lake to cause chaos in the capital. In this way, the nobles of Xiema Pavilion will be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences. It is feared that it will be a problem whether they can see Ma Zhiyuan again after the autumn harvest.

Qing Yi said with a little regret: "Ma Zhiyuan did nothing wrong. After all, Xiema Pavilion is close to Jiming Lake. As the pavilion chief, he must consider strengthening the overall strength of Xiema Pavilion. It's just that it's too difficult to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.

Brother Shi Gu, you don't have to worry. Let's take advantage of these few months to concentrate on practicing and strengthen ourselves. When the time comes to save him, we can naturally resolve the current grudges."

"Hehe, brother, it's definitely right to listen to your arrangements!" Tu Shigu smiled, and his originally uneasy look gradually calmed down.

Seeing that he had no other questions, Qing Yi picked up the greedy little fox on the carriage and put it on the shaft of the carriage: "Come, Xiaobai, sit here. Tell me if anything happens!"

"Ah wu——"

The little white fox and the civet cat were enjoying a bunch of delicious food when they were suddenly pulled out to work. They couldn't help but look at Qing Yi with resentment, but still looked around obediently.

Thanks to its magical power of illusion, the caravan passed steadily between groups of beasts, sometimes even staying several feet away from some of the beasts and walking parallel to them for several miles.

The people in Guqiu were already accustomed to such scenes. They had passed by the Green Rhino tribe at close range several times, but it was the first time for the people in Tunqiu to have such an exciting experience.

Tun Shigu's family, subjects, and craftsmen used to live in Maoqiuting, which was considered the heart of the capital of Xing State. They rarely saw a herd of animals of this size, especially when they saw wilderness giants such as the blue rhinoceros and saber-toothed elephants from afar, they were startled.

On the contrary, the little fat boy, Tun Kejin, saw a small group of five saber-toothed elephants from afar. Not only was he not afraid at all, but he was eager to get closer and observe.

"Don't be rash, my dear son!"

Tu Shigu hugged his fat son and warned him seriously, "This thing is a fifth-grade exotic beast. If you run in front of it, you will be trampled into a meat pie.

When we get to Guqiu, you will go to the academy to learn the skills of a beastmaster from your uncle Guqiu Yi. Once you become a beastmaster, you will be able to make contracts with strange beasts and fierce birds, which is really impressive."

"Beastmaster?"

Tu Kejin had of course heard of the legend of the wild beastmaster, and his eyes immediately lit up. He looked at Qing Yi expectantly and asked, "Uncle, are the little fox and the civet cat both beasts that you have contracted with? If I become your disciple, how long will it take before I can contract with the saber-toothed elephant?"

Are you overthinking it, kid?
Qing Yi really wanted to complain that even the beastmasters of the Black Wind Tribe rarely managed to make a successful contract with a fifth-grade exotic beast, but he couldn't bear to shatter the fantasy of an eight-year-old child.

He thought for a moment, stroked Tun Kejin's fat head, and chuckled, "Xiaobai and Hua Ni are not my trained animals, but my family. Besides, you are only eight years old now. As long as you practice the skills of a beastmaster well, you will have great hope in ten years."

"Uh-huh--"

Tu Kejin nodded very seriously. These words made him full of longing and hope for the future.

Qing Yi wanted to say a few more words of encouragement, but was suddenly interrupted by the roar of a giant beast in the distance, as if the giant beast was angered.

PS: First of all, I would like to thank all my readers. This book had only 22 orders when it was first put on the shelves. This week, the recommendation increased the average order by 73. When I woke up today, the average order had reached . I am so excited that I have to update the book.
