Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

"We're almost there."

In the sky, Lin Mo activated his true essence, and his speed increased dramatically once again.

Thirty li outside the capital city lies the official road.

The earthquake trembled.

The dark, imposing army, like a torrent of steel, swept in from the horizon.

An army of 1.2 million!

The mountains and fields stretch as far as the eye can see.

Military flags blotted out the sun, and long spears formed a forest.

The heavy footsteps of the heavily armored infantrymen mingled together, making the ground tremble slightly.

This army was once the ace of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Now, they have donned the black battle flag of the Great Qian Dynasty.

A menacing aura filled the sky.

The army is right in the center.

Several luxurious carriages, each pulled by eight tall horses, traveled smoothly along the official road.

The carriage was surrounded by elite Zhenbei Army troops, who protected it at the core.

Inside the very middle carriage.

Qin Ruxue leaned against the soft cushion, holding the Lianhua sword in her arms.

Half a month of travel had left her with a hint of fatigue between her brows, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.

Su Qingyue sat beside her, carefully peeling an orange.

Liu Yiyi held the account book, her fingers flying across the abacus as she calculated the wealth she had brought from Zhenbei Prefecture.

The two girls, Gu Meng'er and Gu Ling'er, were perched on the window, chattering excitedly as they looked at the unfamiliar scenery of the capital city outside.

On the roof of the carriage.

Yu Ji wore a seductive purple gauze dress, her bare feet dangling as she idly swung her legs.

As Lin Mohua's expensively hired bodyguard, she has been very dedicated to her duties for the past two weeks.

Every day, he looked forward to getting to the capital as soon as possible so that he could find Lin Mo and collect his wages for that ball of chaotic true essence.

"This lousy road is so slow. I'm getting so bored."

Yu Ji yawned.

Sudden.

Yu Ji's yawn stopped in mid-air.

She suddenly stood up, her purple eyes fixed on the sky directly in front of her.

An extremely familiar and domineering pure yang aura was approaching at a terrifying speed.

Rumble!

The once clear sky was suddenly filled with a deafening sonic boom.

The clouds were brutally torn apart by an extremely terrifying force.

A streak of dark golden light, carrying an aura of annihilation, hurtled straight toward the army.

"All troops on alert!"

The vanguard battalion commander let out a heart-wrenching roar.

Swish swish!

The well-trained army reacted instantly.

Tens of thousands of crossbowmen raised their heavy crossbows in unison, aiming them at the sky.

The spearmen quickly formed a tight formation.

The murderous aura of 1.2 million soldiers instantly coalesced, transforming into a tangible killing intent that soared into the sky.

"Enemy attack! Protect the Princess!"

At this critical moment.

Yu Ji's lips curled into a charming smile, and her clear, cold voice, infused with true energy, instantly resounded throughout the entire army.

"Put down your weapons, you're on the same side."

Inside the carriage, Qin Ruxue suddenly lifted the curtain and looked up at the sky.

She was all too familiar with that aura.

In the sky, the dark golden streak of light crashed down on the open space directly in front of the army with the force of a meteorite falling to earth.

boom!

The violent shockwave kicked up a cloud of dust, and the paving stones within a radius of several dozen feet were shattered.

The smoke and dust cleared.

A tall, slender figure, dressed in a black robe with a gold dragon design, stood proudly before a million-strong army, his hands clasped behind his back.

Sunlight shone on the dark gold dragon robe, reflecting a dazzling light.

A smile played on Lin Mo's lips as he scanned the entire army.

"What? I've only been gone for half a month, and you're already planning to shoot me with arrows?"

The entire room fell silent.

The 1.2 million-strong army froze, even their breathing stopped.

The lieutenant's sword clattered to the ground, his knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees.

"This humble general pays his respects... Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The deputy general's kneeling acted as if a domino effect had been triggered.

Splash!

The 1.2 million-strong army knelt down in unison like a tidal wave, the sound of clashing weapons echoing through the sky.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The roar of a million people shook the distant city walls of the capital.

Lin Mo ignored the soldiers kneeling on the ground.

His gaze cut through the crowd and landed precisely on the luxurious carriage.

Qin Ruxue jumped down from the carriage.

She looked at the man in the dragon robe, tears welling up in her eyes, but she bit her lip hard to stop them from falling.

Lin Mo strode over and opened his arms.

"Madam, you've worked hard."

Just as Lin Mo was about to embrace Qin Ruxue.

A purple afterimage descended from the sky.

Yu Ji, barefoot, stood directly in front of Qin Ruxue, a fragrant breeze wafting towards them.

She wrapped her arms around Lin Mo's neck and pressed herself against him like a water snake.

"Master~ You've finally arrived! I've been working as a bodyguard for the past two weeks, my legs are sore from running around. What about the salary you promised me? Shouldn't you make it up to me tonight?"

Yu Ji's voice was charming and alluring, without any attempt to hide it.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ruxue instantly swallowed back the tears that had just been brewing.

Her face turned ashen, and she reached for the hilt of the sword at her waist, gritting her teeth.

"Get down here! He's my husband! I haven't even hugged him yet, what right do you have to hug him?!"

Lin Mo reacted quickly, grabbing Qin Ruxue's half-drawn Lianhua sword.

"Madam, please calm down! These are top-notch thugs I hired at great expense. If they get damaged, we'll have to pay for it."

Lin Mo pulled Qin Ruxue into his arms and kissed her hard on the cheek.

Qin Ruxue blushed deeply at the sudden kiss.

In front of a million-strong army, her dignity as a female general crumbled instantly, and she couldn't even draw her sword.

"Don't try to sweet-talk me!"

Qin Ruxue gritted her teeth and questioned in a low voice.

Lin Mo chuckled and turned to look at Yu Ji, who was still hanging on him.

"Your salary, right? Here you go."

With a thought, Lin Mo condensed a dense mass of dark golden chaotic true essence in his palm and directly slapped it into Yu Ji's body.

Having obtained the true essence, Yu Ji squinted her purple eyes in comfort and let out a charming nasal sound.

She released Lin Mo's neck, landed steadily on her bare feet, and tactfully retreated to the side to digest her true energy.

"You get paid to do things, that's the rule."

Lin Mo turned his head and explained to Qin Ruxue in a serious tone.

Qin Ruxue glared at him, but didn't pursue the matter further.

After all, Yu Ji had indeed diligently protected them throughout the past two weeks.

"Now that my husband is the emperor, this dragon robe fits him perfectly."

Su Qingyue stepped forward and gently straightened Lin Mo's collar, her eyes filled with relief and pride.

"My wife, you must be exhausted from traveling for the past two weeks."

Lin Mo grasped Su Qingyue's hand.

"We're sitting in a carriage, with food and drink, so how can we feel tired?"

Su Qingyue chuckled softly.

"As for my husband, he must have spent a lot of time and energy struggling alone in the capital and dealing with the remnants of the previous dynasty."

"It's not just mentally exhausting, my husband's body... I imagine it's taking a lot of strain too?"

Liu Yiyi also walked over, smiling at Lin Mo.

"Phew! Thank goodness!"

Lin Mo chuckled.

"Lin Mo, Lin Mo! Are we going to live in the palace?!"

The two girls, Gu Meng'er and Gu Ling'er, rushed over and grabbed Lin Mo's arms on either side.
