The young general waved his knife several times in a short while, chopping the spring rain and the stairs and even hitting a big bowl. He stabbed with much strength each time, but he didn’t hit the two young men once.
The young man who had called his big brother earlier flew out of the eave and fought against the young general in the spring rain, while the big brother ignored the general and came to Li Fuyao, smiling at him, “Aren’t you afraid?”
Li Fuyao smiled, “In fact, I look forward to seeing you take actions later.”
The young man was surprised and looked curious, “Why?”
Li Fuyao replied calmly, “They are common warriors, but you are a cultivator.”
He got right down to the heart of the matter.
The young man asked seriously, “How did you know?”
Li Fuyao answered with a smile, “Because I am a cultivator, too.”
As a matter of fact, Li Fuyao was not confident when he was saying th
It was a happy ending. Yang Lai joined the army, and Xie Ying didn’t need to worry about the escaped prisoners. After reading the saint’s essay, Yang Wei should return to Hengyang Academy which fully deserved to be the most prestige school in Dazhou. That academy was not in Dazhou, but its fame spread far and wide, so it had an awe-inspiring reputation in this country. Earlier, the three and Li Fuyao as well as Qing Huai had dinner together in the hotel.Qing Huai always talked little to the irrelevant people except for Li Fuyao, so she just brought a pot of liquor and sat alone on the doorsill. She would take a sip when she looked up at the starry sky and didn’t get drunk.The shopkeeper of the hotel and his wife had heard about the talent from the Xie Family but had seen the top young promising man in Yanshi City for the first time. They looked at him several times, but they were afraid of the soldiers in the courtyard, so they didn’t say more.
The prison was alight with lamps at night, and it was like the daytime.Xie Chenjun in scarlet official uniform stood at the gate of the prison and suddenly stopped. The middle-aged man behind him closed the umbrella but didn’t say anything. He just put his hands in the sleeves and looked calm.The prison guard who welcomed them at the gate bent down. This middle-aged man who had been working in the Yanshi prison for more than ten years didn’t dare to look up at the old man, the most powerful official in this city. In fact, as the decision-maker of this generation in the Xie Family, Xie Chenjun was the family master and the timeless one in the officialdom. This old man was the best writer of cursive handwriting in Dazhou and a great master in music. And he was among the select best in writing essays. What was more, when the late emperor started the battle in the south that year, Xie Chenjun was the commander in chief of the army. However, as he was getting
Something happened too many years ago, so it couldn’t be investigated. But since it was said by Qing Huai, Li Fuyao was willing to believe it. However, if they dug into it, Qing Huai didn’t know what exactly happened. Thus, when Li Fuyao inquired, the angry and red-faced teenage girl just closed the window with a bang.It made Li Fuyao resentful for a while.It was getting light at dawn and Li Fuyao stood under the eave, waiting for Qing Huai. The spring rain lasted for one day and night, and now it stopped. In such weather, it was not good to continue the journey, but it was not too bad.Qing Huai walked out of the hotel and stood under the eave for a while, asking, “Li Fuyao, have you got an answer to the question you considered earlier?”Li Fuyao stayed silent for a short time and soon realized that Qing Huai was talking about the question he had asked Yang Wei. He pondered for a minute and decided to tell her frankly. After he
After leaving Yanshi City, Li Fuyao just concentrated on heading for Shaoliang. Even Qing Huai had to admire him as this teenager was quite methodical. The destination of their trip was the border between Yanling and Dayu, but as they walked, Li Fuyao always thought about when they should get to some place. If Qing Huai hadn’t delayed for several days, according to his plan, they should have reached the capital city and its environs.Li Fuyao had never been to Shaoliang City, but he had stayed in Dazhou for many years and got accustomed to most people’s temperament in this country, so he hoped to see what the capital city looked like and the emperor who was always worshiped by his people. This time he was going to the Sword Mountain and would pass Shaoliang City, so it was fine that he would see the emperor by the way. Li Fuyao was just worried that Qing Huai would be unwilling to. After all, this teenage girl from the demonic land was his greatest reliance.
The young master said he would reason with them. Generally, something like this happened frequently in other fictions. Those scholars seemed to like writing such plots. But after thousands of years, such scenes were watched repeatedly and were stereotyped. To reason with others was just to play the bully. Before practicing swordsmanship, Li Fuyao was a storyteller, so when he heard the words “reason with you”, he thought it would be like the plots in the fictions. But after the young master in gorgeous clothes started talking, Li Fuyao found that he was trying to reason as he said.The young master sat down and then began his long speech. Perhaps he thought he was reasonable, he didn’t notice Li Fuyao’s face getting straight.As always, Qing Huai ignored this young master who was like an annoying fly. She finished drinking tea and then looked into the distance alone, turning a deaf ear to his voice.It made the young master’s attendant show a t
It was the rain season.It rained today in Shaoliang City, but this spring rainfall came all of a sudden and stopped soon. It rained since the midnight and stopped at seven o’clock in the morning. Afterward, there was much fog in the air, and the capital of Dazhou seemed to be covered with gauze and looked hazy.The Evergreen Palace was brightly lit at five o’clock in the morning. There were many eunuchs and maids in this main palace of the imperial palace of Dazhou, whose duty was to ensure that this palace was smoothly running every day and prevent anything wrong in the Evergreen Palace. The emperor of Dazhou would spend one day in this palace while spending the night at the palace of one of his concubines randomly, so the eunuchs and maids working in this palace should be more cautious. Before five o’clock, almost every one of them had to get out of bed and come to the place they were supposed to work in, lighting the lamps in the Evergreen Palace at fiv
After dawn, it was time for the morning audience at the imperial court in Shaoliang City every day. Before the emperor came out of the imperial study, the chefs in the imperial kitchen had prepared the breakfast. Following the rules in the imperial palace, the emperor would have simple breakfasts in the imperial kitchen before the morning audience. It was said to be simple, but there were fifteen dishes indeed. After breakfast, the emperor should get changed and then go to the Moral Hall to see all the civil and military officials.According to the ancestral rules in Dazhou, when the emperor had breakfast, the civil and military officials should stand and wait outside the Moral Hall and then enter the hall after the emperor got changed and the ring of discussing official business rang three times. During the period, if some official could have breakfast with the emperor, it was rare and could show this official’s position in the emperor’s heart.So before t
“I hear that the first emperor in Dazhou rose from a rural area and founded the country only depending on his passion. Now more than two hundred and fifty years have passed as it went through the ups and downs.”“Every emperor in the history of our county is talented. For example, an emperor refused the marriage alliance with the Southern Wei Country even in crisis and didn’t send a princess abroad. Although the battle after that was fierce, it was worthwhile anyway.”“Our current emperor is more amazing indeed. Although there are non-stopping battles these years, our country has more territory. His Majesty is looking for a husband for the princess in Shaoliang City. If I were born twenty years earlier, I would have a try. Maybe the princess loves such a talent like me.”...Although Li Fuyao was aware of the inborn sense of pride of the people in Dazhou and was in touch with them for many years, Baiyu Town was too remote, and few
