Chapter 780: Emperor Yang Zhou’s Inauguration (4)The sense of ritual, superstition, and many others were still very strong at this point of time. They would have to pay close attention to the date, Feng Shui, and so on when they were about to hold any kind of ceremony.        

    

This naturally included the inauguration.    

The process couldn't be stopped midway because it would then deemed as fail and they would have to pick another date to do the inauguration in the future. Emperor Yang Zhou had waited for so many years for this day.    

Because only when he truly finished the inauguration would he be able to hold the complete power of the court. Even if he had become more powerful, but the other officials would only fully recognize him when he finished this ceremony.    

No one is allowed to make trouble on this day.    

If there was a problem on this day, Emperor Yang Zhou would have to wait for many days in order for those damn officials to pick another date. He's already 22 years old and no longer the same teenagers who had only first sat on the throne.    

The tricks that these officials done behind his back was not unnoticeable.    

But he couldn't deal with all of them right away. And eliminating everyone was impossible because there wouldn't be anyone who couldn't work.    

So, there had to be a sense of proportion.    

This inauguration is the first step needed.    

This was why it had become extremely important to ensure that no one would be able to disturb it.    

"You're not needed here." Chi Song Lian snorted and looked away.    

Long Qian Xing chuckled, he still held the same polite smile on his face, but his eyes were indifferent. "You better not fail, Young Commander Chi."    


After saying his piece, Long Qian Xing left to the south area.    

Long Qian Xing was patrolling during this time just to make sure that nothing was amyss. But all in all, he will not spend all the time to stay with Chi Song Lian in this area.    



Chi Song Lian snorted and looked towards the forest in front of him. He knew very well that it was not only his father who would reprimand him if he were to lose but also many others.    

This task was very important.    

But they couldn't alarm the enemies.    

For that reason, the generals were not able to take this position and it was handed to the Young Commanders and also those other low key commanders. This way, it would ensure that the opponent didn't realize how much manpower they actually had.    

However….    

Chi Song Lian thoroughly hated the fact that he had to cooperate with Long Qian Xing.    

If only it was possible, he wished that he could be assigned to work with other commanders. Even that stupid Feng Ao Si was much better than the annoying and scheming Long Qian Xing.    

Even the scheming Shangguan Xiao was somewhat better in Chi Song Lian's opinion as compared to Long Qian Xing. He could never be in one page with Long Qian Xing without being angry after talking for more than the time needed to brew a tea.    

That young man has always challenged his bottom limit.    

"Young Commander Chi, there's a movement in the forest."    

"Go and check it out."        

    

"Yes, Sir!"    

Chi Song Lian leaned on the gate while looking at the smoke in the distance. He furrowed his eyebrows.    

Did they attacked the nearby villages just in order to make diversion?    

While his mind was thinking of this possibility, there were screams coming from inside the city. He was stunned and quickly strode inside through the side door. He saw that there were several horses raging and running, destroying nearly everything on their path.    

A lot of people were trying to get away.    



"Quickly stop them! Who's the idiot letting these horses run wild at this time?" Chi Song Lian roared angrily.    

No one could answer him.    

The soldiers were moving quickly in order to stop the horses from running wild and hurting the innocents people nearby. He made sure that the soldiers were quickly moving around to keep tab on it.    

Chi Song Lian furrowed his eyebrows and assigned one of his adjutant to settle this matter before walking outside once more. Upon seeing the group of people who were rushing over from the direction of the smoke, his eyes turned cold.    

"Form formation, we'll face them!" Chi Song Lian flung his sleeve.    

He might be young, but he was still a commander who had already stayed at the frontline at the battlefield for a period of time. Such trick wouldn't be able to fool him so easily.    

Even though dividing his forces would hurt him, it was not like a battle would be won so easily just because they have more number. Number can help to win in a battle but when the difference in power was so big, no number can make up for the difference in strength.    

At the very least, a difference in few hundred people wouldn't.    

Chi Song Lian sneered. "I'll let you pay the price for underestimating me and only employing such childish trick."    

…    

    

While Chi Song Lian was still in his raging mode and quickly destroyed the people who tried to breach the east gate, Long Qian Xing had already headed to the south area. He received several reports coming from various sources.    

The four walls kept on their communication with each other in case it was necessary for them to request for backup.    

There was no time for them to be selfish and said that they could handle everything on their own. If even one side is breached, it meant that the safety of the ceremony is compromised.    

And this time, Long Qian Xing received not so good report.    

"There are horses running rampart."    

"The north is breached, a group of people are approaching the palace."    

"The south has a lot of people causing ruckus, we're having a hard time separating them from innocent bystander."
