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
Somebody died in the imperial palace of Dazhou, and it was not a trifle although his identity was not important, so as soon as the young eunuch’s dead body was found, the news was reported to the superiors. The imperial guards dealt with it immediately, but it didn’t cause an uproar in the palace. After all, a banquet would be held in the Evergreen Palace at once to reward the generals and soldiers. Something like this happened, and the emperor would naturally feel embarrassed.The vice manager of the Ceremony Department, Tan Bao led the imperial guards walking slowly in the Evergreen Palace. The commander of the imperial guards behind him was a retired warrior with meritorious service from the North Army and wasn’t in awe of the vice manager who was just second to the manager of the eunuchs, Su Jin in the palace. But as he investigated the case, he had to be in direct contact with the people in the imperial palace and should get in touch with the powerful eunuchs.
In Dazhou, it was the fourth year’s spring of Shending.But in fact, in Yanling, it was the sixteenth year of Zhenghe. This spring had no difference from the spring in the past, except that in this spring, Yanling wanted to punish a small country for the first time and sent more than ten cultivators, but it was defeated in the end unexpectedly, and all the cultivators had been killed by the Luosang River. So there was a rare bitter quarrel at the imperial court in Luoyang City. As a result, the Ministry of Penalty sent three officials to capture the two chief criminals who killed a dozen cultivators. However, over ten days after the three officials were dispatched out of Luoyang City, they came back to the city today, empty-handed, the same as when they left.The Ministry of Penalty kept it a secret and didn’t tell the news at the imperial court in front of all the civil and military officials. They just submitted a report to the emperor of Yanling after th
