Before killing somebody, one should have feelings, being excited or happy or expectant, but it must be under the condition that the person to be killed had some unspeakable relationship with the killer. However, Li Fuyao didn’t even know the name of the one he would kill or if it was a man or woman. He only knew that the cultivator in the tent was a Confucian cultivator who hadn’t finished the first stage and that this one might have come from the Yanling Confucian Temple. Then he knew nothing else about his prey.
So Li Fuyao was calm and didn’t feel excited. The only thought on his mind was about how to cut off the cultivator’s head later and make himself suffer the least.
In the tent, a scholar was reading at the table next to a dim oil lamp. This thin scholar held a book written by a scholar of the past, as if lost in thought.
The scholar in pure white shook his head while sighing in sympathy after reading two pages. Then he whispered helple
In the past, after he became a swordsman, Li Fuyao kept thinking about a question most of the time. What were the swordsmen in this human world like? Were they all the same as Chen Sheng? So even though Li Fuyao had started to practice swordsmanship, he still didn’t know what the swordsmen should be like. However, later he stopped worrying, because he would go to the Sword Mountain, the swordsmen’s holy land. There would be many swordsmen there, so he could find the answer.Li Fuyao knew that there were many cultivators in this human world, and the female ghost in red they had met before was not one of them, but Yang Wei they had met later was one cultivator. However, as for that scholar from Hengyang Academy, Qing Huai didn’t take him seriously and said that it was uncertain how many times such a cultivator could resist Li Fuyao’s sword.This was Li Fuyao’s first time to fight against a cultivator. This scholar named Zuo Sifan once studied in the Yanling C
The teenage girl sitting on the high platform outside the tent was murmuring alone, looking rarely lovely, but the boy who was having a life-and-death fight in the tent didn’t know that.The machete in Li Fuyao’s hand was full of chips. With his tattered clothes and messy hair, he looked terrible. While the scholar in white had a deep wound showing his bone on his right hand which grabbed the cyan brush pen, and the fresh blood flowed along his arm and the brush pen before dripping at the pen point to the floor with a clatter, which was the only sound except the breaths and heartbeats of the two in the tent, sounding weird. And the scholar’s wound was caused by Li Fuyao’s machete. Before the cyan light turned from the word “resolute” disappeared, Li Fuyao chopped that right hand accurately. If he hadn’t feared the power of the cyan light at last, the right hand should have been cut off.When they fought in the tent for a short while earlier, the swordsman L
It was not easy anyway to make the main force including two hundred thousand soldiers and more than ten cultivators stop by the Luosang River, but in any case, the main force of the Chen Country couldn’t move forward. Mentally, they were frightened as the teenage girl had easily killed more than ten cultivators sent by the Yanling Empire. In reality, the people from Dazhou who attacked the military camp had burnt the granary. Even if they could be courageous to move on, they didn’t have enough food to support them till they reached Shaoliang City.So the soldiers from the Chen Country had few choices now. They either stopped by the Luosang River or returned to their country.In the commander’s tent stood another man. The former commander of the Chen Country had been beheaded by a teenage boy with a machete. Now his dead body was put in a coffin. This commander who had great prestige in the army of the Chen Country died so easily and directly, and there were
After the cultivators were killed, it meant that most of Dazhou’s difficult problems had been solved, which put Li Fuyao in a good mood. In fact, at first, he just took actions in order to make the noblemen in Luoyang City of Yanling unhappy. However, he had changed his mind and felt proud, although most of the more than ten cultivators had been killed by Qing Huai and he merely fought once to kill a weird scholar.After they left the Luosang River, Li Fuyao knew that the story by the river would soon spread to Shaoliang City, Luoyang City and the capital of the Chen Country. The noblemen and high officials in Shaoliang City might speak highly of the North Army’s persistence and courage, and the aristocrats in Luoyang City would only be mad and sad and even humiliated. As for the people in the capital of the Chen Country, they wouldn’t have other emotions than feeling terrified. It might be described as a story that ten thousands of soldiers from the North Army risked t
Li Fuyao and Qing Huai didn’t pass the Jingkou Mountain but made a detour when they were a distance of two days’ walking from the high mountain where the Yanling Confucian Temple was located.So they didn’t know that Huang Jin had climbed the mountain.If Li Fuyao knew why Huang Jin climbed the Jingkou Mountain and entered the Yanling Confucian Temple, perhaps he would respect this scholar from the bottom of his heart, but he didn’t know, so he didn’t say anything.Walking northward was Li Fuyao and Qing Huai’s plan. After they walked out of Dazhou, they didn’t have any reason to stay. And the Daoist assembly in late spring was drawing near, so they didn’t stop for long in Yanling. As a result, they just walked on the way and had a rest occasionally every day, without any unnecessary ramifications.However, on the route as Li Fuyao planned, Luoyang City was the last place in Yanling they would stop, but he had killed a cultivator b
In this world, something that was beyond others’ expectations but was reasonable on second thoughts always happened. For example, Huang Jin climbed the Jingkou Mountain and entered the Yanling Confucian Temple, and Qing Huai had countless thousand-mile rings. These days, every time the three cultivators Yanling kept at a high price were about to catch up with the two teenagers, they would find some thousand-mile rings which were split into halves beside a fire, or by a river, or under a tree.After counting them, they found that they had picked up more than ten thousand-mile rings, at least ten. Even the national treasury of Yanling wouldn’t have much more than those. They even guessed that the temple would have no more than one hundred thousand-mile rings every year as the limit, but why did these teenagers have so many? Moreover, it appeared that they still had some left at hand. The official from the Ministry of Penalty who was sure that the two wouldn’t have too man
It was not easy for Dazhou to win this battle, and in fact, it was extremely difficult. Tens of thousands of soldiers had been killed on the battlefield, and even on top of the city wall in Shaoliang, they could almost see enemies. And Beiyan County was a natural barrier in the north Dazhou was always proud of, but this battle was enough to prove that no matter how perfect the barrier was, in the cultivators’ eyes, it was just a common raised path through fields. They could cross it if they wanted to.If Li Fuyao and Qing Huai hadn’t killed all the cultivators by the Luosang River, Dazhou would have suffered a lot. At best, the cultivator would occupy the imperial palace of Dazhou and force the emperor to write a letter to surrender which would be sent to Yanling. If the emperor of Dazhou was as arrogant as they said, he would be dead now, and Dazhou would be in the territory of the Chen Country in a few days.But both the Chen Country and Dazhou knew who w
The South Army led by Xie Ying drove the main force from the Chen Country to flee in a panic and settled the crisis of Dazhou. After they returned with victory, naturally it should be celebrated. So before dawn, the eunuchs and maids in the Evergreen Palace started to prepare for the banquet to celebrate after the imperial court session this morning. In order to prevent anything wrong, the manager of the Ceremony Department showed up in person to make sure everything was okay. Before the imperial court session, the emperor entered the imperial study to check the reports from the officials. Everybody in the world said that the emperor ruled a country and had the greatest power, but who had seen how the emperor became thinner day after day while working hard to deal with the official documents and getting tired?The imperial study was prepared, and the document on the top was the summary of the battle from the Ministry of War, including the number of the dead soldiers and
