Early the next morning, Fang Zheng and Yue Fei took a zeppelin back to the capital.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Although he was quite upset, Yue Fei still had to perform the proper courtesies before the Emperor, while Fang Zheng merely nodded slightly toward the elder... He respected Yue Fei, but had little regard for the Emperor.
"Hehehe, no need for such formalities, both of you. Attendants, please provide them with seats."
The old Emperor showed no reaction to Yue Fei and Fang Zheng's demeanor, instead, he warmly asked them to sit. Once they were seated, the Emperor began to speak.
"I am aware of both your gallant efforts at the front lines. General Yue Fei is a model of devotion to the country, and the Immortal Master's ability to decimate ten thousand Jin troops with a mere wave is truly inspiring. That is why I specially called you back, to express my gratitude."
At this, the Emperor paused briefly before continuing.
