Over a distance of several li, for the Feilin Blood Eye, it only took a minute or two to arrive.
Upon seeing the grand gates of the capital city of the Great Qi Kingdom in the distance, the figure on horseback pulled the reins.
“Xi Lululu!”
The Feilin Blood Eye immediately raised its front limbs, going from a rapid sprint to a complete stop, almost happening in the blink of an eye.
The combination of movement and stillness created a beauty that filled one with longing.
On the horse, there sat a tall and robust old man.
His hair and beard were gray, and his face was aged, not knowing how much hardship he had endured.
His exposed arms were covered in scars, densely packed together, some even overlapping, making one feel horrified.
Especially on his face, there was a scar that nearly spanned across his right eye, appearing extremely terrifying, but it added a few points of sharpness to his aura.
Just sitting on the horse, he emitted an inexplicable aura, as if in this world, one person and one horse had already become the only existence.
“We’ve arrived!”
The Feilin Blood Eye reached the city gate, and the old man raised his head to look.
His murky yet unfathomable wise eyes coldly gazed at the signboard of the city gate, revealing a trace of inexplicable emotion.
It had been over ten years; he wondered how Yue Chi and Chen Er were doing? That Zhao Feng had truly gone too far, daring to drive Chen Er and Yue Chi out of the Qin residence and make the disciples of the Qin family turn against each other. If it weren’t for Yuan Zhi sending word, perhaps the Qin family would have been destroyed by this woman.
This old man was none other than Qin Chen's maternal grandfather, the first military god of the Great Qi Kingdom, the commander of the three armies, the Ding Wu Wang—Qin Ba Tian!
The Great Qi Kingdom had three major elite legions.
They were the Mad Lion Legion, the Sky Eagle Legion, and the Blood Battle Legion.
These three legions were hailed as the elite trump cards of the Great Qi Kingdom, with each soldier capable of fighting ten.
And the founder of these three legions was none other than Qin Ba Tian.
Back in the day, he started as a soldier, rose through the ranks, and ultimately became the commander of the three legions, stationed at the borders for decades, becoming the most fearsome military god in the Great Qi Kingdom's history.
He had outstanding military achievements, was bestowed the title of Ding Wu Wang by the previous emperor, and enjoyed high ranks.
However, he was very aware that his years in the military had made him a god among the army of the Great Qi Kingdom but also made him the most feared person by Zhao Gao.
For this reason, he had been stationed at the borders alone for over ten years without returning, just to dispel Zhao Gao's suspicions.
Moreover, the prominent military family of the Qin, whether it was Qin Yuan Xiong, Qin Yuan Zhi, or the many elders and strong warriors of the Qin family, regardless of whether they were previously in the military or not, were all sent back to the capital to serve as civil officials.
He understood the principle of being too successful and causing worry.
Though the Qin family appeared prestigious, in reality, it had already reached a precarious state.
However, upon learning that Qin Chen and Qin Yue Chi had been driven out of the Qin residence, and that Qin Chen and his brothers Qin Fen and Qin Feng were turning against each other, he had no choice but to break his established rules and hurry back to the capital.
He was not afraid of being destitute and becoming a commoner, but he feared internal strife that would tear the Qin family apart.
So, he returned!
“Who is it?”
When Qin Ba Tian stopped at the city gate of the capital, it immediately caused a commotion among the entire gate guards, all of them staring in astonishment.
Especially when they saw the Feilin Blood Eye that Qin Ba Tian was riding, they were even more stunned.
“Which general is this? Has he returned to the capital? We had no notice at all?”
