Chapter 140: Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong

As Xun Yu finished speaking, Liu Bian also understood what was going on.

Immediately, he also said to Xun Yu:

"Wenruo, this matter is easy to handle. After you write the document, come to me to have the Imperial Seal stamped on it."

"This minister obeys the decree!"

"By the way, Minister Lu, bring Zhao Yun and the other four into the palace; I want to see them."

At this moment, Liu Bian suddenly said to Lu Zhi on the side.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi immediately responded respectfully: "This old minister obeys the decree!"

"This minister takes his leave!"

After saying this respectfully to Liu Bian, Lu Zhi left the imperial study.

Lu Zhi did not keep the crowd waiting long; in less than half an hour, he had already led Zhao Yun and the other four to the Imperial Palace.

"Everyone, when you see His Majesty later, there is no need to worry too much; His Majesty is still very easy to get along with."

On the way to the Imperial Palace, Lu Zhi saw that the five were somewhat worried and couldn't help but open up to the five.

"Thank you, Lord Lu!"

Upon hearing this, the worry on the faces of the few slowly disappeared.

The few arrived outside the imperial study, and the Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng was waiting outside.

"Lord Lu, His Majesty and the lords are still inside; he said that after you arrive, you should go straight in."

The Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng said respectfully to Lu Zhi.

"Thank you for your trouble!"

Lu Zhi thanked Li Liangcheng with a smile.

"Lord, you speak too seriously. Please!"

Li Liangcheng, upon hearing this, was instantly somewhat terrified.

He did not feel that his status was higher than Lu Zhi's.

After nodding to Li Liangcheng, Lu Zhi said to the five behind him with a smile:

"Everyone, please follow this old man!"

After Lu Zhi led the five into the imperial study, Liu Bian and the crowd all looked at the five behind Lu Zhi.

The ones dressed as young scholars were naturally the only two scholars among the five: Ju Shou and Xu Shu.

And of the remaining four, they saw that the one on the far left was a young boy dressed in white.

The boy looked quite handsome; this was Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong.

And Huang Zhong was a middle-aged man dressed in hemp clothes.

As for the youth on the far right, he should be Wei Yan.

"This old minister pays respects to Your Majesty! I have brought the people Your Majesty summoned!"

At this moment, Zhao Yun and the other four behind Lu Zhi, seeing Lu Zhi's actions, also immediately knelt and shouted to Liu Bian in unison:

"Commoners Ju Shou, Huang Zhong, Xu Shu, Wei Yan, and Zhao Yun pay respects to Your Majesty!"

Seeing these people, Liu Bian was also quite satisfied and immediately said to the crowd who were saluting with a smile:

"All rise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the crowd thanked him, they stood up.

They all began to size up Liu Bian and the crowd in the room.

And Guo Jia, Lü Bu, and the others also looked at Zhao Yun and the other four, sizing each other up.

Liu Bian even used his Probe Eye to check the attributes of the crowd.

"Not bad, it is not much different from what I expected."

Liu Bian, after secretly probing the attributes of the five, couldn't help but think to himself.

And at this moment, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan were also somewhat shocked.

The martial generals and some civil officials in the hall—he clearly felt that the aura of these people was much stronger than his own.

If they were to fight, he would definitely not be their opponent.

You must know, there were many civil officials here; this was a bit terrifying.

"It seems the folk rumors that His Majesty has mastered martial arts are true."

"In that case, we also have a chance to become stronger!"

After feeling the aura of the crowd, Zhao Yun and the other three couldn't help but think to themselves.

"Since you all could come, it shows that you are all loyal ministers of our Han house, with hearts toward the people of our Han; I am deeply gratified!"

Liu Bian looked at Zhao Yun and the other four and said to them sincerely.

"To serve His Majesty, to serve the Han, is the responsibility of us commoners; we are willing to swear loyalty to His Majesty unto death!"

After hearing Liu Bian's words, the five all knelt before Liu Bian and swore loudly.

"Good! I feel your sincerity, so I shall now impart to you the martial arts cultivation method mastered by the officials of our Han."

Immediately, Liu Bian decided to impart the martial arts cultivation method to the five.

Their starting point was originally lower than others, and furthermore, the loyalty of the few had met the standard, so there was no need to drag it out.

And Zhao Yun and the other four, after hearing Liu Bian's words, were instantly overjoyed.

They had not expected that just after joining Liu Bian's command, he would impart the martial arts cultivation method to them; this was truly imperial grace.

Immediately, the five bowed to Liu Bian loudly in thanks:

"We ministers thank Your Majesty; we will surely die for Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction.

"All rise!"

After the crowd stood up, Liu Bian pointed his finger at the five.

"System, impart the 'Heaven and Earth Creation Martial Canon' to Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan."

"Impart the 'Vast Righteous Qi Art' to Ju Shou and Xu Shu."

"Ding, the system has received the host's request and is transmitting it to everyone!"

Following the system prompt, they saw five golden lights fly from Liu Bian's fingers and merge into the space between the five people's eyebrows.

Afterward, the five received the martial arts cultivation method imparted by Liu Bian.

After the five had finished accepting it, they all bowed to Liu Bian respectfully in thanks:

"We ministers thank Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian nodded to the five, signaled for them to rise, and then waved his hand at the crowd.

They saw over a dozen identity jade tokens appear before the crowd.

Seeing this, Guo Jia, Lü Bu, and the others who had already received identity jade tokens revealed expressions of understanding.

"These are identity jade tokens I have made for the subjects of our Han. Those of you who do not have one, each take one; after dripping blood to bind it, there are instructions for use inside."

Looking at the crowd who had not seen the identity jade tokens, Liu Bian explained.

Upon hearing this, Xun Yu and the others stepped forward with confusion and, according to what Liu Bian said, began to drip blood to bind them.

"In the future, if there is anything you do not understand, you can ask Fengxiao and the others."

Seeing Xun Yu and the others wanting to ask, Liu Bian said to them immediately.

"Understood!"

Afterward, Liu Bian waved his hand at Zhao Yun and the other four again, and they saw ten low-grade spirit stones appear before each of them.

"These are spirit stones used to accelerate cultivation. Once you break through the Postnatal Realm, you can use the spiritual energy in the spirit stones to cultivate."

In order to improve the strength of the few as quickly as possible, Liu Bian did not hesitate to bestow ten low-grade spirit stones upon each of them.

Zhao Yun and the other four looked at the spirit stones floating before them, their shock undiminished.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After thanking Liu Bian, the five accepted the spirit stones.

To tell the truth, what they had experienced in this short while was truly too dreamlike for them. ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
