The civil and military officials were all intimidated.
Jiang Wanxiang looked at these officials, with the purpose of his fake death being to see the full scope of all forces clearly captured in his eyes, and said: "Oh sirs, oh sirs, I am still here, and Daying is still here."
"Why rush to attend my funeral so early?"
His aged eyes swept over them, already encompassing the surfacing situation of the Daying Kingdom, through this fake death, not knowing how many hidden people were incited, nor how many suppressed desires were drawn out.
For soone like him, even his own death could be used as a strategy.
Bolder and prouder as he is, looking disdainfully upon the world like the Divine Martial King.
A man who refuses to walk an ordinary path, a man who refuses to die in bed or at the hands of won and children.
Jiang Wanxiang pointed to the sky, his expression relaxed and bold as always:
"It’s so late already."
"Sirs, please go on ho first."
"Go, go, all go back, I’m not providing food today."
The civil and military officials wanted to congratulate the emperor on waking up but inexplicably couldn’t find the words, so they had to get up and leave, only when retreating amidst the wind and rain did the emperor say: "Now it’s dark, and the wind and rain are great, sirs."
"Take care!"
"Don’t fall now, hahaha."
The civil and military officials felt as if a True Dragon was staring at their backs, a boundless chill rising in their hearts all of a sudden, they all withdrew, leaving the palace desolate and silent, Jiang Wanxiang patted Jiang Su on the shoulder, wearily saying: "So tired, Grandmaster..."
"Let escort you back then."
"No need, I’ve been cooped up inside these days, it’s rare to have rain."
"Let’s stroll around the palace."
Jiang Su remained silent, gripping the Silent Annihilation, Jiang Wanxiang looked to the sky, and said:
"This world is swaying in the wind and rain."
"Since the day we t, you have been bearing for decades."
"In the future, I might still need to trouble the Grandmaster."
Jiang Su laughed lightly and said: "Why, decades ago, the bold and unrestrained you who claid to swallow the world, wildly arrogant enough to pull to help, taking you and the Gao family’s boy, to Central State to seize the emperor’s grand wedding scene."
"Affectionate and righteous, lawless Jiang Wanxiang."
"Talking about this lancholy affair."
"Doesn’t suit you."
Jiang Wanxiang laughed heartily: "Hahaha, you still rember such things."
Jiang Su said: "If not so, how would the world know you and I were here, later in the historical records, they would only record how bold and disdainful you were, enduring the hardship of practicing martial arts in your youth, wearing yourself out with hunger and sleep, things nobody knows about."
Jiang Wanxiang chuckled softly, after a long while, said:
"eting you in this life, I truly have not been treated poorly."
"Old friend."
"In these last years, let gallop once more in this chaotic world, no matter what, how could a person simply grow old and die naturally? Growing old and dying in one’s pri feel truly different."
"When I was young, I thought dying on the road under heaven would be a worthy death, so exhilarating."
"When I realized I was about to die of old age."
"I feared, was weak, was unwilling, was angry, but in the end, still had to be true to myself."
"People like you and I, how could we allow the world to mock us!"
Jiang Su did not answer, his battle robe billowed, tinged with bloodstains, holding the Divine Spear, carrying Jiang Wanxiang on his back, now carrying the old emperor and the vast kingdom, just as decades before he carried the exhausted young man practicing with a spear and that indomitable dream.
Jiang Wanxiang fell into a deep sleep, Jiang Su’s steps were steady, each stride seed to cover the sa distance, looking up, the falling rain that enveloped the entire palace, halted in the void, and then, as the sleeves rolled, reversed the order of heaven and earth, flying upward.
Martial Arts Legend, life long and enduring, coming to this world, finally with so persistence.
To fulfill a promise to the emperor, to guard this life.
No matter how, by whatever ans, I will let you see the world we drew that day.
Jiang Su carrying his old friend and his country, walked away step by step.
"No matter the cost."
"Daying will surely unify the world."
After this day, the entire Ying Country began internal purification.
Jiang Wanxiang, the Great Emperor of Daying, by his supposed death brought out all hidden troubles of the court, those rebellious ministers who would completely explode in the future were lured out by him, and then, the aging Azure Dragon.
Took up the blade.
Chen Dingye heard of the events in the Ying Country, laughed for a long ti, but when he heard Jiang Wanxiang was not dead, he simply sighed in regret, saying Jiang Yuan was incompetent, lacking the decisiveness, if he had been decisive this ti.
Being killed by Jiang Gao and Jiang Su would have been a story worthy of the annals of history.
Enough to drink heartily.
The emperor Chen Dingye was rarely so delighted, the mood of the officials improved as well.
However, his delight did not last long.
And the officials’ relief didn’t last either.
Not long after, a military order was received.
The contents of which made Chen Dingye’s hearty laughter vanish in an instant, unable to laugh anymore.
The words on the scroll were cold and chilling.
