It was teeming with rain in the small city at boundary. The small city had a history over fifty years and the small city walls were mottled. The short walls were made of soil and when high wind blew, the civilians in the small city felt as if they had gone through a sandstorm. The heavy rain made the streets so muddy that it was hard for people to walk. All local officials had reported to the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue at the capital of Chen Kingdom during their term of office. They asked for money to reinforce the small city walls and the small city roads. Because the amount was not small and the small city was not that important, the official in the capital naturally ignored their requirements.
Therefore, although they had sent lots of memorials, there was barely any reply.
As the autumn rain went on, the walls of the small city were dripping wet soon and it was hard to walk on the main road. With a large variety of snacks in her
It rained not only in the small city at the boundary of Chen Kingdom, but also in other places.In a bluestone paved lane outside a school about 50 kilometers from the small city, two people were holding umbrellas and standing at the gate of the school. They looked at the grey tiles opposite the school in silence.Hearing the sound of students reading books, the Confucian scholar in black suddenly asked, “Mr. Luan, it is hard to find Lin Hongzhu. I wonder what method you used to make the leftover of the demonic sect go into action.”The other one, who was called Mr. Luan, was a short and small man with silver hair and a lined face. If he didn’t wear a phoenix robe which stood for the highest official of Chen Kingdom, no one would put their gaze on him no matter where he was.However, this short old man with ordinary appearance and no momentum was really the pillar of Chen Kingdom, the genuine pillar of royal court. When the
Xu Ji picked up the lantern and looked inside the city. An overwhelming Sword Qi swept across, which struck fear into people’s hearts.Common people might not understand what was going on, but they felt suppressing instinctively.Lin Hongzhu cast a glance at Zhou Xuance, and without saying a word, he turned around and left.The principal of the demonic sect had been injured by Xu Ji and it was not realistic for him to pick a fight with Zhou Xuance, who was also at Ascending Stage. Although Lin Hongzhu didn’t expect that the old master of Sword Mountain would get involved, he actually was not that surprised because he had figured out a lot of things.Someone had spread the news that he was here to kill Zhou Xuance, and it was not because they want Zhou Xuance to die. The focus of this matter was Gu Yuan and he was just a piece of chess.However, none could guarantee that they had controlled this piece of chess. A
An attack, which began well but ended badly, came to an end. The gifted scholar of Yanling Confucian Temple kept out of harm’s way while Zhou Xuance was not injured seriously. In this way, the Confucian Temple actually lost nothing in the attack. However, two things would spread through the world.Needless to say, the reappearance of Lin Hongzhu, the principal of the demonic sect, would bring fear into all major Confucian academies in Yanling. After the fall of the demonic sect, learned Confucian scholars in many academies had issued papers to blame Lin Hongzhu betraying the Confucianism and a lost soul of the Confucianism But the papers were issued only after the Confucian scholars learned the news that the principal had died. The timing was subtle, and it made people clapping their hands and applauding. It was to add brilliance to the splendor of the Yanling Confucian Temple. However, when these old masters got the news that Lin Hongzhu was still alive, they ne
Autumn had been around for some time.These days, it rained several times in this autumn in Huaiyang City, the capital of the Chen Kingdom. The life inside the city was comparatively stable.Although there was no substantial progress as the Chen Kingdom sent army to suppress the Zhou Kingdom, they had put all their military strength on the boundaries and it seemed that the Emperor of the Chen Kingdom got nothing else to do, apart from continuously sending money and provisions in national treasury to the boundary.The Emperor of the Chen Kingdom was puzzled in the continuous autumn rains. It was true that the national power of the Chen Kingdom was limited, but it was compared with the Yanling Empire which towered over the world. But compared with the Zhou Kingdom, the Chen Kingdom was a huge monster. But the huge monster had sent armed forces to suppress the Zhou Kingdom twice. The first time, they had obviously got the worst of it even t
The sword ray was intangible. Li Fuyao didn’t really make a sword move. When he stopped walking and looked inside his vital, he saw a teenager in black sat cross-legged and there was a half sheathed sword on his lap.The teenager looked the same as Li Fuyao and his sword was the same as Green Strand.When Li Fuyao looked at the mini boy, he happened to raise his head and looked at him.When their eyes met, they could see the sword ray.“The world is big, and is it sufficient to take a sword move?”The mini boy stood up, hung the sword at his waist and asked smilingly, “If there is another road and you can choose, will you choose it or not?”Li Fuyao knitted his eyebrows. He looked at the mini boy and replied softly, “Since I am already here, I will go on along this road. If I give up halfway, I’m afraid I will be unable to lift a sword later.”The mini boy burst into laughter and said,
It rained heavily in Huaiyang City and lots of things had happened in the rain.For instance, in the heavy autumn rain, Prime Minister Luan had a talk with the Emperor of the Chen Kingdom and he decided to leave.When the conversation was done, people in the mansion of Prime Minister Luan got busy.There was no major accident happened inside the mansion of Prime Minister Luan in Huaiyang City dozens of years since its establishment. What Luan Ping told the teacher was true, and he has experienced it in person. Luan Ping managed the people around him quite well. Thus, in the past decades, his family members and relatives had never done anything that exceeded what was proper.That was why Luan Ping could stand erect in the imperial court of the Chen Kingdom for years without a fall.But now Luan Ping had decided to leave the Chen Kingdom now and he had reached an agreement with the Emperor.The entire
Li Fuyao and Luan Ping went into the city with a one-hour interval.The heavy rain still went on.With the sword case on his back, Li Fuyao went into the city and he directly found an unimpressive and isolated inn to stay. He went into his room and closed the door. The teenager, who had broken through in the heavy rain, lay on the bed and soon fell into sleep.He was unwilling to sleep at such a condition, but anyway, it was not easy for him to break through in the heavy rain. Besides, he had boosted his spirits to confront the old man at an unknown stage, and he was really exhausted. Thus, he didn’t go to see Huaiyang City in the rain, he didn’t come up with an idea to help the Zhou Kingdom, but he went to have a good sleep.As a matter of fact, Huaiyang City got a different flavor in the rain. ...Luan Ping held an umbrella and stopped by the gate of his mansion. He didn’t go in immediately. He r
“What on earth does my brother think?”At the same time, after the heavy rain stopped, a middle-aged man in embroidered robe furrowed his eyebrows in the study of Prince Qi’s mansion.He was Prince Qi who didn’t care for power and influence all his life. In the years when the current emperor ascended the throne, he had never done anything improper. Truth to be told, he didn’t pretend to be unaccomplished because he was afraid that the emperor would guard against him, which was the suspicion of outsiders.Prince Qi really didn’t put the throne in his mind.He didn’t want to fight for it.The orientation of his study was not well, so it needed to light up in daytime when the weather outside was not well. In the past, it was the servant of the mansion who lighted up the study for him. There was a maid in the mansion, and Prince Qi called her Light Maid. The maid took care of the light in the study.Tod
