"But the green bamboo of Jiangnan, so elegant and beautiful, with a tender texture and a hint of sweetness, is truly wonderful."
The Iron-eating Beast felt a sense of fulfillnt in its beastly life.
That Jiuli Clan never ntioned that the Central Plains and Jiangnan had such delicious food.
If he had said so earlier, I would have co sooner!
Nangong Wung propped her chin with one hand and said, "You and the Little Qilin both love to eat, yet why can’t you play together?"
The Southwest Auspicious cracked open the bamboo with its teeth, stuffed it into its mouth and chewed, angrily saying:
"Him? He actually needs to roast the bamboo shoots with fire!"
"And sprinkle that chili powder and sothing from the Western Regions, what was it, cumin."
"Heretic, absolutely a heretic!"
"Even worse than those who don’t eat bamboo shoots!"
The auspicious creature chewed, baring its teeth, as Nangong Wung laughed, lazily stepping on the water, looking into the distance, as if in a dream: "It’s been almost three years since I t him, how quickly ti flies..."
"I wonder if he’s won or not."
Nangong Wung had intended to continue aiding the front line, but was stopped. Her martial arts of the Five Heavens had seen no change over the years, and she was already considered outstanding among her peers.
Not everyone is like Li Guanyi, Chen Wenmian, Li Zhaowen, who are like monsters.
Galloping across the battlefield, wielding the killing energy that conquers city and country, breaking through layer by layer.
However, thinking about it, those heroes who rose like teors across the sky in tis of upheaval, recorded in history, should be just like them.
At this thought, Nangong Wung suddenly felt a sense of disorientation as if she were in the midst of history, raising her hand to twist a lock of black hair by her temple, saying, "So, how will future books record ?"
"No matter."
Seeing no one coming, she clasped her hands together, lowered her forehead, and softly said:
"May the gods bless him to return in great victory."
"If he returns, I will replenish all his fortune to him; if he truly has none, I will give him what I have." Nangong Wung’s black hair at her temple fluttered and fell, quietly praying, perhaps to no avail, but simply hoping for peace in her heart, just a pure wish.
When she cald, she stood like a jade bamboo, without a trace on the Qiushui (Autumn Waters), a wild goose drooping its eyes from the sky, the fish in the pond leaping out.
At that mont, Flying Eagles had already swept past the Qiushui of Jiangnan.
The war report arrived.
Victory at the front.
......
As Jiangnan beca lively, imrsed in waves of cheers.
The capital city of Ying Country, once a great nation, was thrust into extre tension.
The Imperial Army and the imperial guard had thoroughly guarded the inside and outside of the palace, and all civil and military officials of the third rank and above had hurriedly entered the palace, kneeling outside the main hall, each with a faint look of panic on their faces.
In that panic, there was also so unease, a slight peculiarity.
The diversity of human emotions, the intricate sches, was never more evident than at this ti.
The emperor’s palace where he was recuperating was brightly lit by candles.
Jiang Gao and Jiang Yuan had rushed to the palace, whether sincerely or not, both princes had very frightened and worried expressions, hurriedly entered the palace, only to see that the Imperial Physician of Ying Country had just completed his diagnosis and ca out from the hall.
Jiang Gao went to ask about the situation.
Jiang Yuan followed close behind.
The two princes surrounded the Imperial Physician directly.
Those other sons and daughters born after Jiang Wanxiang were outside and could not enter.
The Imperial Physician sighed and comforted the two of them, saying, "Crown Prince, Prince Jiang Guang, don’t worry too much."
"His Majesty has just overexerted his heart and mind and disturbed by the affairs of the world, causing his mind to be insufficient, backfiring on himself. I have just used acupuncture, and after His Majesty took the Spirit Pill, his breath has slightly cald."
"Moreover, His Majesty’s martial arts are of the Grandmaster Realm, and he is already recovering on his own."
He paused, and a trace of hesitation appeared on his face.
He seed to want to speak but held back.
Crown Prince Jiang Gao saw this and seed to have realized sothing, gently saying:
"Imperial Physician, please co with , I’ll see you out."
The Imperial Physician thanked him and followed Jiang Gao out. When they were undisturbed, Jiang Gao reached out to grasp the Imperial Physician’s sleeve, quietly saying, "Imperial Physician, where there is no one here, what is truly my father’s condition?!"
There was genuine worry in his eyes.
His hand tightened, gripping the Imperial Physician’s arm firmly.
The Imperial Physician sighed and said, "His Majesty originally had more than ten years of life left, and with care, another twenty years was not impossible, but before, when Wolf King Chen Fubi ca to attack our Daying capital."
"His Majesty couldn’t bear to use the people as a shield, so he personally went to the city to confront the Wolf King."
"The world has Qi Fortune, which is the spirit of millions, and the Wolf King is after all second only to the Grandmaster in the world, also carrying the montum of conquering the world, attacking with the notion of life and death."
"His Majesty is of imperial stature, but on the battlefield, ultimately not as good as the Wolf King."
"That battle had a great impact on His Majesty, clashing with the fierce energy of the Wolf King."
The Imperial Physician was silent for a mont and, because of Jiang Wanxiang’s boldness and magnanimity, and the kindness of the Crown Prince before him, he spoke of things he shouldn’t say, saying, "His Majesty takes dicinal pills daily, and his vital energy and blood are still strong, but his spirit has declined."
"After all, His Majesty’s Seven Heavens martial arts are not like the Grandmasters of the Martial World who wholeheartedly hone their skills; much of it cos from taking pills. At this age, like a thin-skinned bag filled with water, as long as it isn’t damaged, it can still be perfect."
"It appears to be full of spirit and vigor."
