Seeing it in person now, it truly lives up to its reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they’d arrived, there was no need to hurry along at breakneck speed any longer, and their pace slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to admire his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit, it was indeed quite nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The areas around them were shaded by green trees, and even the air felt exceptionally fresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, if Brother Ye likes it here, when you one day wish to retire, you can move here to live.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Liuyun’s remark, Qi Yuanliang chuckled and teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he added a thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No worries—since you like it so much, letting you die here wouldn’t be treating you unfairly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That actually is a pretty good idea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Qi Yuanliang hid his intentions well, Ye Liuyun still caught that fleeting murderous intent; a Grandmaster’s perception was certainly not something those in the Innate Realm could match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Ye Liuyun acted as if he hadn’t noticed anything at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he nodded along with the suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even put on a look of seriously considering it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really was a feng shui treasure—letting Qi Yuanliang die here, wouldn’t be doing him an injustice, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was true mutual pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Qi, so are we going to go catch those bandits directly now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, Ye Liuyun still acted as though he knew nothing, treating their purpose here as if it really was to capture bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No hurry for that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuanliang waved a hand with a smile, and continued smoothly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve rushed all the way here non-stop—the brothers must be weary. Let’s put off catching the bandits for now; we’ll enter the city first, find a nice tavern, have a proper meal, get some rest. What do you fellows say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuanliang smiled and looked at the Embroidered Uniform Guards behind Ye Liuyun, wearing that look of ’it’s all for your sake.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuanliang had thought that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>upon his suggestion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these Embroidered Uniform Guards would immediately cheer and echo him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what he got in return were only pairs of cold, indifferent eyes—no one said a word in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These men had all been carefully chosen by Shi Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They clearly knew Qi Yuanliang was the Governor—his rank higher than Ye Liuyun’s—but they understood even more clearly who it was they truly served.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation made the atmosphere around them freeze up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Qi Yuanliang’s face gradually stiffen, Ye Liuyun also smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t let the awkwardness drag on, instead following up on Qi Yuanliang’s words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Brother Qi insists, let’s enter the city first—let the brothers have a good rest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ye Liuyun said this, the previously tense atmosphere finally eased. The Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him smiled lightly, then responded in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more voices echoed in agreement, the worse Qi Yuanliang’s face became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, why are you thanking Ye Liuyun? Clearly I was the one who made the suggestion, wasn’t I?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling humiliated, Qi Yuanliang had already started planning: After he set up Ye Liuyun’s death, he’d finish off these Embroidered Uniform Guards, one by one, as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they couldn’t be used by him, they’d all have to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface he was cultured and amicable, but Qi Yuanliang’s heart was colder than anyone’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My apologies, Brother Qi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun waved a hand, and the chorus of assent gradually died down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qi Yuanliang’s obvious displeasure, Ye Liuyun smiled and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These men have been under my command for a long time. They’re more used to taking my orders. It wasn’t my intention to make Brother Qi lose face—when we get back, I’ll have a word with them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a word?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuanliang wasn’t stupid—how could he not see that Ye Liuyun was just putting on a show, and barely even trying to pretend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this ’show’ was far too superficial at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need! Not at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Qi Yuanliang’s training in self-control was good enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly recovered, a gentle smile returning to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such loyal subordinates, it’s I who should be congratulating Brother Ye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Since Brother Qi says so, then when we’re back I won’t speak to them at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally understood—Ye Liuyun really wasn’t giving him the slightest courtesy now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem! It’s already midday; we’d best enter the city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staying here any longer would just be more humiliation—might as well go into the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Qi Yuanliang couldn’t keep acting, Ye Liuyun, watching his departing back, couldn’t help but click his tongue inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you can’t take it anymore?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see your composure isn’t much, either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what this place used to be called, but because of Prince Jin Yan Ze, it was now called Prince Jin City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it couldn’t match the splendor of the Imperial City,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as a royal fief it was naturally still prosperous—its streets were busy and bustled with vendors hawking their wares endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the nearby mountains and rivers, Prince Jin City was dotted with lakes; the majority of goods sold in its markets were seafood, mostly fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun led his men down Prince Jin City’s main street, their passage utterly unhindered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their status as Embroidered Uniform Guards meant that, even if the city guards noticed them, no one dared bar their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it stood to reason someone would go report to Prince Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun understood at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly Qi Yuanliang’s intent—if otherwise, he’d never bluster so conspicuously on the street. After all, this was Prince Jin’s territory; to make such a show was to directly announce, ’We, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, are here.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their goal really was to capture bandits, they would of course keep their identities hidden to avoid unnecessary trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>",995,"2026-05-30T16:57:06.164Z","2026-06-01T04:31:44.368Z",1,"novelbin.me","1749989d4167ac1041cda04c3b6a9170e140bce0b8ba36549029af6611c21e15","embroidered-uniform-guard-i-can-plunder-talents-chapter-166","embroidered-uniform-guard-i-can-plunder-talents-chapter-164",471,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fembroidered-uniform-guard-i-can-plunder-talents-cover.jpg"]
