The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

The headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Li Jingtian, dressed in the uniform of a Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) commander and with an embroidered spring knife at his waist, arrived imposingly outside the Jinyiwei headquarters.

"Greetings, Lord Li."

"The lord is already waiting for Lord Li in the main hall of our Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters."

Upon seeing Li Jingtian arrive, Fang Heng, who had been waiting outside the Jinyiwei headquarters, came forward and bowed to him.

"No need to be polite."

Li Jingtian smiled slightly and looked at Fang Heng.

Although he worked in the Department of Military Affairs.

However, this does not mean that we do not pay attention to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

In fact, because the Embroidered Uniform Guard had done a lot of practical things during this period, he felt very favorable toward the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Chu Xiu.

This led him to keep a close eye on the situation of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and he also learned that the Embroidered Uniform Guard was currently lacking in commanders.

Every commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is now a true loyal follower of Chu Xiu.

Moreover, given his strength...

It was immediately obvious that Fang Heng was already a martial artist at the Immortal Ascension Realm.

This level of cultivation is already considered a true master in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

To be honest, before coming to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he had never imagined that the Embroidered Uniform Guard would have such a master besides Chu Xiu.

No wonder the Embroidered Uniform Guard has become so powerful that it has attracted the attention of various factions.

Li Jingtian was naturally aware of the situation in the capital during this period.

"Please, Lord Li."

Fang Heng extended his hand respectfully to Li Jingtian, inviting him to join him.

Li Jingtian nodded and walked towards the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, saying as he went, "May I ask how this gentleman is addressed?"

"Lord Li, you are too kind. I dare not accept such a title."

"This humble servant is Fang Heng, the Grand Commander of the Sky-Shattering Guard."

"Lord Li, you can just call me Fang Heng."

Fang Heng led Li Jingtian inside and said respectfully.

"The Grand Commander of the Sky Guard?"

"Fang Heng?"

"Commander Fang, could you please introduce the Shocking Guard within our Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Li Jingtian looked at Fang Heng with a hint of surprise on his face and asked.

"It's impossible."

"The lord said that once Lord Li joins our Embroidered Uniform Guard, we're all family."

"Nothing about our Embroidered Uniform Guard is a secret to Lord Li!"

Fang Heng said with a serious expression.

Li Jingtian's heart stirred, and he guessed that his arrival at the Embroidered Uniform Guard was very likely not Empress Murong Si's idea.

After all, he had been in the Ministry of War for some time, and Murong Si had no intention of letting him join the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Therefore, he has now been promoted and transferred to the Embroidered Uniform Guard as a deputy commander.

It is very likely that Chu Xiu requested it from Murong Si.

After a moment's consideration, Fang Heng gave Li Jingtian a very detailed account of the three guards of the Embroidered Uniform Guard: the Shocking Heaven Guard, the Shocking God Guard, and the Shocking Immortal Guard.

Fang Heng did not conceal any of these three cultivation methods.

After speaking, Fang Heng took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Li Jingtian, saying, "Lord Li, actually, after our lord went to the palace to meet the emperor, he had us prepare this document."

This document contains all the information about our entire Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Everything Lord Li wants to know is here.

"My lord, you truly trust me!"

Li Jingtian couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion; he hadn't expected Chu Xiu to value him so much.

The two had never even met, yet they trusted him so much.

It should be noted that he had been in the Ministry of War for quite some time, but in reality, he had no access to any real affairs. He could only look at some unimportant documents. In addition, he did not align himself with anyone, which made him very ostracized in the Ministry of War.

Now that I've come to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it feels like I've come home.

Fang Heng smiled and said, "Lord Li, we've arrived at the main hall. Please go in directly."

"Okay, thank you, Commander Fang."

After Li Jingtian clasped his hands in thanks to Fang Heng, he strode into the hall.

"Lord Li, you are too kind to me."

Fang Heng avoided Li Jingtian's bow, but instead of turning to leave, he stood guard outside the hall.

We entered the hall.

Li Jingtian immediately spotted Chu Xiu, who was sitting in the main seat of the hall, dressed in the official robes of a deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Chu Xiu was not yet twenty years old, but had a handsome appearance and a heroic demeanor. Li Jingtian quickly bowed and said, "This humble official, Li Jingtian, pays his respects to Your Excellency!"

"Master Li, no courtesy."

Chu Xiu smiled gently, stood up, walked to Li Jingtian, and personally helped him up.

Using his Qi-observation technique, he could tell at a glance that Li Jingtian's cultivation level had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, only one step away from the Celestial Realm.

"Thank you, sir."

Li Jingtian thanked Chu Xiu.

"Please have a seat, Lord Li."

Chu Xiu pointed to the guest seats in the hall and said to Li Jingtian.

"Thank you, sir."

Li Jingtian thanked Chu Xiu once again before sitting down in the guest seat.

Chu Xiu walked to the main seat and sat down. After a moment of contemplation, he said with a sincere expression, "I suppose Lord Li has already guessed that your appointment to serve in our Embroidered Uniform Guard was requested by His Majesty on my behalf."

I hope that after Lord Li joins our Embroidered Uniform Guard, he will be able to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of our Embroidered Uniform Guard.

They are capable of handling the daily affairs of our Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"My lord, this..."

Li Jingtian was stunned, looking at Chu Xiu in disbelief.

After all, Chu Xiu's words meant that he was to be in charge of all the affairs of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

This level of trust has exceeded his expectations!

"Lord Li, there is no need to be surprised."

"I don't actually value power."

"What I want to do is to do something truly practical for the people and for His Majesty!"

"I hope that one day, His Majesty will truly rule the world, and all the people will be able to live a peaceful and prosperous life."

"Furthermore, I hope that one day, all the people of my Great Zhou Dynasty will be like dragons, existing forever!"

Chu Xiu said in a deep and powerful voice, "And this requires talents like Lord Li to work together."

"It's impossible for me, Chu Xiu, to do this alone!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingtian fell silent.

After a long pause, Li Jingtian's expression turned solemn, and he said earnestly, "I wonder what your opinion is on aristocratic families and sects, sir?"

"Those who wreak havoc on the world are the powerful families and the clans!"

Chu Xiu said calmly.

"Your subordinate, Li Jingtian, is willing to serve you, sir!"

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty and contribute to the well-being of all people!"

"I would die without regret!"

Li Jingtian suddenly stood up, knelt on one knee in front of Chu Xiu, and said in a firm and resounding voice.

He changed his self-reference from "lower official" to "subordinate".

This is recognition of Chu Xiu!

"Very well, with Lord Li's words, I am relieved!"

Chu Xiu smiled and helped Li Jingtian up again, saying, "Lord Li, please don't make such grand gestures so often. We're family, there's no need for such formalities."

"Thank you, sir."

Li Jingtian expressed his gratitude.

"Lord Li has just arrived at our Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters, and there are probably many things he doesn't know yet."

"Fang Heng should have already handed the information over to Lord Li, right?"

Chu Xiu smiled calmly and looked at Li Jingtian, asking a question.
