Chapter 2158

Zhu Yanyi paused, then continued, "However, you must give me a title and a position. More importantly, you need to hand over some of your secret forces to me. These people must be hardened by blood. They may have to kill countless people every day to cleanse the darkness of this country."

"Fine, I take the bet." The Emperor pondered for nearly ten minutes before agreeing. "I will write the decree right now to enfeoff this fairy." He looked at Yuan Yanqiu.

"My senior sister is Yuan Yanqiu. I am Zhu Yanyi." Zhu Yanyi introduced them briefly again.

"I will enfeoff this Fairy Yuan as the General Who Protects the Nation. Marshal Xuan Yuan at the border is the only person I can trust now. I have written a secret order. Fairy, take it and go directly. As for Fairy Zhu, shall I enfeoff you as the Throne Who Guards the Nation?" The Emperor asked, looking at Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "The title of guarding the nation or not doesn't matter. Just give me an identity."

The Emperor immediately wrote two secret orders and handed them to the two women.

Zhu Yanyi looked at the Emperor and said, "We cultivators exist in accordance with Heaven. So do not worry that we will seize power from you in the future. When everything here is clear and bright, we will naturally leave. You need not try to keep us then."

After speaking, Zhu Yanyi moved her mind. A crystal Yanluo mask appeared in her hand. A red spider lily was carved on its forehead. She had made this mask out of boredom, never expecting to use it now.

"From today on, I am the Throne. However, I allow others to call me the Yan Queen." Zhu Yanyi slowly put on the mask.

"Since Junior Sister has a mask, I should wear one too." Yuan Yanqiu smiled and took out a mask that was neither iron nor silver. Its appearance was that of a lion.

She put it on directly, took the secret order, and said, "In that case, I will not stay here. Junior Sister, you handle the situation here. I am going to the border now."

"Thank you, General Who Protects the Nation," the Emperor said sincerely.

Yuan Yanqiu nodded, gave Zhu Yanyi a slight nod, and then left.

Zhu Yanyi looked at the Emperor and asked, "How many forces can you still trust?"

"Currently, I only have a fifty-person hidden guard team. This was handed to me by my father before he died. The State Preceptor does not know about it," the Emperor said seriously.

"Fifty people is not many, but it is acceptable for now. However, I need to screen these fifty people to ensure they are absolutely loyal to you. After screening them, I will expand your forces and use my own methods to gradually rectify the entire court."

Zhu Yanyi stood up. "Let's go. Let's see these fifty people."

"Go now?" the Emperor asked.

"Yes. The sooner we go, the sooner we work. The situation here cannot be delayed, and you cannot afford to delay it," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.

Hearing Zhu Yanyi's calm words, the Emperor said no more. She only said, "Please follow me."

The Emperor stood up, walked into the back rest room, and went to the bed. He pulled a tassel rope beside the bed. The bed split open, revealing a tunnel.

Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "You emperors really do have multiple hiding places."

The Emperor smiled bitterly. She realized that in front of this person, she had no imperial dignity. She could only smile and walk ahead first, with Zhu Yanyi following behind.

"We also want to live. Actually, twenty years ago, my father enfeoffed the State Preceptor. Seventeen years ago, he regretted it. Because in just three years, this State Preceptor controlled a large part of our capital. But by then, it was too late to regret. So my father could only secretly cultivate, creating this team," the Emperor said helplessly. "Originally, there were many people. But for some reason, the State Preceptor discovered them and wiped out many. Only these fifty remain now."

Zhu Yanyi listened silently to the Emperor's introduction. "Currently, I am also developing people. Although there are fifty, there are actually many reserve personnel. But I do not know if there are spies among them, so I have not officially confirmed them yet."

Zhu Yanyi nodded, understanding the Emperor's words. "I understand. The first thing I will do is refine all these people of yours. Rest assured, although they may not be able to fight ten thousand alone, they will be able to fight a hundred."

"Fairy Zhu, thank you." The Emperor understood what this meant. It meant that if this succeeded, he would have an absolute elite team that no one else could imagine.

Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "Outwardly, call me the Throne or the Yan Queen. Do not call me Fairy. Doing this is not something a fairy can do. Fairies do not kill casually. Of course, I also allow you to call me Divine Doctor."

"Divine Doctor Throne." The Emperor was smart and changed his address instantly.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at the Emperor. Divine Doctor Throne? What kind of title was that? But never mind. It was better than being called a fairy. In Zhu Yanyi's heart, she really did not deserve to be called a fairy. Perhaps she had lost that saintly complex somewhere along the way.

"We are almost there." After walking for about fifteen minutes, a door appeared. The Emperor went over, opened the door with his own hands, and walked out.

Zhu Yanyi followed her.

When the door opened, two people approached. The Emperor pointed at them. "These two are the two leaders of my team, Fu Huai and Xuan Yuancheng. Fu Huai was the former Martial Champion. Xuan Yuancheng is one of the descendants of the Xuan Yuan family."

The Emperor introduced them seriously to Zhu Yanyi. Then she said to Fu Huai and Xuan Yuancheng, "This is the Divine Doctor Throne. For the next period, she will lead you with full force. From now on, she represents all my orders. You may not obey my orders, but you must obey hers."

It had to be said that although the Emperor said she would hand this over to Zhu Yanyi, she did so very decisively. There was no feeling of trying to make things difficult for her.

On this point of boldness, Zhu Yanyi nodded in satisfaction. Good. Such an emperor was at least not a Liu Adou.

Fu Huai and Xuan Yuancheng were stunned. Then they looked at each other, nodded, and bowed to Zhu Yanyi. "Fu Huai (Xuan Yuancheng) pays respects to the Divine Doctor Throne."

Zhu Yanyi hummed. She said to the Emperor, "In ten days, I will give you ten people who will risk their lives to protect you. Every ten days after that, I will give you a batch of people, until the problem in this plane is solved and I leave."

"Good." The Emperor nodded.
