Chapter 109: An Important Moment

A platform for welcoming the army was being built outside the city. Whenever an army returned in triumph, it was a custom for the emperor to welcome it with all the courtiers.

And, it was no exception this time. But, the whole court could smell the scent of an approaching storm. It was said that the emperor had no plan to welcome the army himself this time, and the platform was built under Qin Yue's order. The situation in the city was growing tense.

The army had made camp thirty miles from the city, waiting for the welcoming ceremony. Everyone was speculating if the emperor would appear on the platform on the day the army marched into the city. If he were truly absent, then Qin Yue's move would be deemed as roping in military ministers without authorization, which was a felony.
