A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

But just after the two of them stepped down from the city wall, the sound of horses' hooves came from not far away.

Lu Yi and his adjutant Gu Yun stopped and watched as a troop of Imperial Guards carrying torches slowly rode towards them.

There was another carriage in the middle, and behind it was a group of mounted guards. The carriage was obviously from the palace. The two were startled. Could it be that the emperor had arrived?

Before long, they arrived, and immediately a eunuch shouted, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Upon hearing that it was indeed the Emperor, the two men quickly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Your Majesty, we, Lu Yi and Gu Yun, respectfully welcome you!"

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a person dressed in a plain-colored robe emerged. The robe was made of gauze and embroidered with gold thread and subtle patterns.

At first glance, he has an upright posture and extraordinary demeanor, with an innate elegance and nobility.

When he got off the car, a jade pendant was hanging from his waist, swaying back and forth. His hair was neatly combed and all of it was fixed on the top of his head with a gold band.

He wore a jade thumb ring on his thumb. Although his attire was simple, his imposing imperial aura remained undiminished.

Simply standing there quietly, he exuded an invisible sense of oppression. He was none other than the current Emperor Ye Shengtang. He looked at the soldiers and generals kneeling before him and said:

"Rise, no need for formalities."

Lu Yi, leading the soldiers and adjutants behind him, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"What's the situation outside the city, General Lu Yi?" Ye Shengtang asked.

Lu Yi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the people outside say that it is not a monster, but a peculiar carriage. I was just about to open the city gate to take a look."

"This is the token they just gave you. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Lu Yi handed the token to one of the eunuchs beside the emperor, who immediately jogged over to show it to the emperor.

Ye Shengtang took the token and examined it in the firelight, discovering that it was the same token Yuanfu had taken when he left the palace.

It seems Yuanfu has returned. As for the monster vehicle they mentioned, it should be the one given to him by the immortal master whom Jinxuan and Wuhen worshipped, as mentioned in the last letter.

After thinking it through, Ye Shengtang waved his hand and said, "Open the city gate. It's none other than Duke Anguo and Yuanfu who have returned."

"Yes!"

Deputy General Lu Yi, Gu Yun, personally summoned several people to open the heavy door.

When the gate opened, everyone was startled by the two bright lights on the front of the strange vehicle that was not far from the city gate.

Some people were even screaming and shouting, "Protect the Emperor! Protect him!"

Ye Shengtang squinted at the strange car in front of him. Although he was a little nervous, he was calmer than the others.

The guards outside and Eunuch Yuanfu saw that the gate had been opened.

He quickly stepped forward, intending to negotiate with the person!

After all, he had some experience. They drove up in a bus, which must have scared the people inside. If he didn't personally show up, it would be difficult to explain the situation clearly.

However, when he arrived in front of the crowd, he saw Ye Shengtang being protected among them and was immediately shocked to find that the Emperor was also there.

So he disregarded everything else and quickly stepped forward to greet the emperor.

"This old servant, Yuanfu, greets Your Majesty! I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Yuanfu, get up quickly!"

"I ask you, is that the horseless carriage behind you that you mentioned in your letter?"

"Your Majesty, yes, it is that very vehicle. The two princes said it's called a double-decker bus. Your Majesty, would you mind if this old servant took you up to take a look?"

"You can't see what's inside from the outside. The two princes and Duke Anguo are all in the carriage!"

Ye Shengtang nodded. "Alright, lead the way!"

"I'd like to take a closer look at what makes this carriage so special."

With Eunuch Yuanfu leading the way, Ye Shengtang led Lu Yi, Gu Yun, and the others slowly toward the bus.

As Ye Shengtang approached the vehicle, he curiously examined this novel object and discovered that the closer he got, the taller the vehicle became.

Furthermore, it was discovered that the double-decker bus was suspended in mid-air, which was even more surprising!

Although the entire exterior was obscured by darkness, the sleek and shiny headlights looked extremely luxurious.

Ye Jinxuan, Ye Wuhen, the Duke of Anguo and his wife, and others inside the carriage saw the Emperor's figure from afar.

Everyone hurriedly got out of the carriage to greet him, "Your subject greets Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, greet you!"

"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, and your wife... pay our respects!"

When everyone bowed, Ye Shengtang immediately understood what was going on. Except for a few children, everyone else knelt down!

Those who did not kneel in obeisance included his son, his brother, and several of his children.

Moreover, they were all very open and natural, without any awkwardness or timidity.

Immediately, Ye Shengtang understood. They must all be disciples of that immortal master, fellow disciples!

Since becoming a disciple is equivalent to becoming a person outside the secular world, and their divine master must not let them care too much about these worldly etiquettes, then he, as the ruler of a country, cannot be too stingy.
