Dou Hao stared at the valiant king clad in the dark battle robe, silent for a long ti, unsure of what to say. Beside him, his sworn brother Dan Xiong seed to understand what was in his heart and rely said, "The heroes of the world are indeed nurous."
Valiant and bold, the Divine Martial King who opened the world with his own body.
Old yet calm, Jiang Wanxiang who still possessed the spirit to conquer the world.
At this mont, the Prince Qin, who ca alone carrying a battle halberd to personally greet everyone, was the sa. Though the legendary figures of the older generations were gone, the vigor of the younger generation was in no way inferior.
Li Guanyi waved his sleeve, shaking off the bloodstains, and stepped up before everyone, saying, "General Yue’s arrival is tily. I was thinking of moving further ahead, but considering if I leave this place, it might lead to this area being locked down with a large army, it would not be good. So, I stayed here."
He spoke lightly, but holding the rear and guarding a pass alone in the military formation is an extrely valiant act, requiring imnse pressure and danger, especially for a king to personally do so.
Who among the people had ever seen such a deed?
Niu Wei and others montarily did not know what to say. Their bold spirit of the past now seed sowhat hesitant, only Yue Pengwu let out a light breath, looking solemn as he said, "This place is dangerous. You co here as a prince; if I were among the Ying Country, I would surely send a large army to encircle and crush you!"
"How can you take such a risk?!"
Li Guanyi rely smiled and said, "I have always been like this, as General Yue knows, it’s not the first ti."
Yue Pengwu was montarily speechless.
Li Guanyi then seriously said, "Besides, it was I who invited General Yue here. How could I stand by and watch you all take risks while I wait in a safe place, then set up a banquet to console you when you arrive at last?"
"How can there be a situation where others risk their lives while I sit safely?!"
Li Guanyi slightly clasped his fists and, with the deanor of a person of the martial world, smiled and said, "Moreover, I am rely a student of Central State, a person of the martial world, a disciple of Ancestor Zu Wenyuan, a student under Mr. Wang Tong, surnad Li, titled Pharmacist!"
"Everyone, please!"
The nurous heroes from the martial world also saluted, yet in their actions and words, there remained a sense of restraint, unable to truly achieve composure.
The elder of the Mo School, Guan Shier, clicked his tongue in wonder, and Li Guanyi, smiling, said, "It’s been a long ti, Guan. You still look well." Guan Shier laughed heartily, saying, "The world is restless, trouble arises everywhere. I, an old man, tote a sword and stir up trouble and fight everywhere, heal people, with things to do, one does not feel old."
Guan Shier looked at the Prince Qin before him, yet clearly still saw the youth who dared to charge the Ghost Market alone, with three parts of complex emotions, he lanted, saying:
"But you..."
"In these four or five years, you have hardly changed!"
Li Guanyi laughed and said, "Changed, I have grown taller and my martial art skills are stronger."
Guan Shier chuckled, saying, "Quite so!"
He paused, then asked casually, "But do you still rember the child you asked to save then?" Prince Qin said, "Of course I rember."
The elder of the Mo School was stunned.
Prince Qin said, "Did she live well?"
"Losing an arm, it must be very difficult, right?"
"I rember, I even carved a flower on her chanical arm at the ti? Well, back then I was young, my carving skills were average, and it didn’t look very nice, hopefully, she didn’t mind. Otherwise, she could scrape it off."
Prince Qin seed a bit embarrassed about what he did in his youth.
With a smile that held a bit of apology and awkwardness, the elder of the Mo School looked at this general fad throughout the world, who still cared for people of past days, suddenly feeling very pleased, wanting to drink, he laughed and said, "Very well indeed."
"She has learned dicine and is now a teacher in a town, teaching children to read and write, also treating their illnesses, every day is quite good."
Prince Qin’s smile was radiant: "That’s wonderful."
Dou Hao observed Prince Qin in silence, then sighed to Dan Xiong beside him, saying in a low voice, "I have long heard of the fa of Prince Qin, and what I see today truly lives up to it."
"In today’s world where heroes contend, there are few like Prince Qin."
Li Guanyi raised his eyes and said, "Who are these?"
Yue Pengwu introduced each person one by one, and Li Guanyi rembered them all. When introducing these two, he raised his hand and pointed to the robust, broad-faced man, saying, "This man is nad Dan Xiong, from Caozhou, skilled with a horse spear, exceptionally brave, known as the Flying General."
Dan Xiong was quite free and easy, smiling, "I have long known of Prince Qin’s bravery, seeing it today is truly extraordinary, Dan Xiong is impressed."
Yue Pengwu then pointed to the imposing man in the middle, saying, "This is Dou Hao, from Beizhou, adept with heavy weapons, be it sword, spear, or staff, proficient in all."
Dou Hao clasped his fists in greeting, calmly saying, "I once had a chance encounter, guided by the Divine Martial King. I wanted to et Prince Qin at that ti, just regretted having no opportunity. Seeing you today, it’s a worthwhile journey indeed."
Li Guanyi smiled and said, "No need for formalities, everyone please co."
"To the land of Jiangnan, let welco you."
Niu Wei could see the bold temperant of Prince Qin and gradually relaxed his reserve, laughing heartily:
"Good, good indeed, I’ve long wanted to see the fine wines and foods of the king!"
"Haha, this ti we also take advantage of the opportunity."
Having just had a bowl of duck blood noodles soup with soone on a bench by the rainy roadside, His Highness Prince Qin’s expression didn’t change, and he laughed with satisfaction:
