Chapter 204 (2/2)
The captain was still holding his sword to his neck. He started to feel stiffness in his neck, and suddenly realised that his actions had been ridiculous. He said unhappily, ”No problem. But master...”
Ning Que waved his hand towards him and said, ”Don't try to stop me. I am not scared of dead people, nor those who wish to die.”
The captain was hopeless. He was regretted working for such a cold-hearted boss.
Ning Que looked at him and said, ”You are holding the sword in your right hand. If you really want to commit suicide, you should put the blade nearer to the right side of your neck.”
The captain lowered his head out of shame, then ran out of the room with his hands covering his face.
Ning Que shook his head. He put his hands in his pocket and spent a long time going through all the ID tokens he found within. He wondered when he had become Doraemon.
He had more ID tokens than secrets.
They were ID tokens for the Academy, the Secret Guard, the Fish-dragon Gang, the Imperial Center Administration and even from Third Sister Yu Lian. They were mostly made of gold, wood, or stone, and presented a colourful pile on the table.
”What would be the best way to arrange these ID tokens, I wonder?”
He was pondered the ID tokens. The one for the Secret Guard would be useless. But the one for the Imperial Center Administration could be used to command the Tang Dynasty's secret spies in the left tent of the palace. And if he found himself in a dangerous situation, the ID token of the Academy could definitely be used.
The honourable Aunt Quni Madi and the famous Flower Addict Princess Lu Chenjia wished for a hot spring bath, a reasonable request. However, the spring was already in use by the girls of Black Ink Garden. A fight soon erupted.
Both sides were cultivators coming to help Yan follow the order from the West-Hill Divine Palace. Those sent from the Black Ink Garden of the Great River Kingdom were just students. The White Tower Temple of Yuelun Kingdom sent Aunt Qu, together with the Flower Addict Princess Lu Chenjia, who had a romantic relations.h.i.+p with Prince Long Qing of the Judicial Department of the Divine Hall. It was clear who both the Yan and the Divine Hall would back.
Ning Que defeated the monk from the White Tower Temple and saved the hot spring for the girls from the Great River Kingdom. However, soon after, a very hard mission fell on the shoulders of the girls.
The countries of the Central Plains wanted to reach peace with the palace of the Left-tent. To show their sincerity, the Divine Hall asked every country to gather some food and send it to the Wilderness to help the tribes of the palace survive the winter.
However, even the most foolish people knew that it was not wise to help your enemy. Therefore, very little food was collected. After all, the food was just a gesture of goodwill. And that was why the gift would only arrive at the most freezing part of the Winter. It was cold and dangerous in the Wilderness, so sending the food was a very hard mission indeed.
The mission became harder when the general's camp of allied forces decided to send only a few soldiers to escort the food, out of concern for their own defence.
It was the girls of the Black Ink Garden from the Great River Kingdom who got the mission.
Since they needed to follow the soldiers to escort the food, the girls would not be able to enjoy the warm spring or the beautiful scenery. They would be too busy with the responsibility of protecting the food.
Cat Girl said angrily, ”That is too much! Let's complain to the Divine Hall.”
Another girl replied sadly, ”What if this is what the Divine Hall wants us to do?”
Cat Girl opened her eyes wide. She didn't understand the words of her Senior Sister. She could not understand how the fair, just Divine Hall of Haotian Taoism could decided on such an evil and unfair course of action.
Zhuo Zhihua said, ”Prince Long Qing will be the husband of the Princess of Yuelun Country. Based on that, who do you think the Divine Hall will support? Although we don't have enough proof, we can still guess the reason behind this order.” The Aunt from Yuelun Country always bears grudges. She resents Senior Brother Zhong, but he is a student of the Academy and now a member of the Blue Water Battalion at Dongsheng Stockaded Village. Because she is unable to fight with him, she has chosen to pick a fight with us. She just wants to show her pride.”
The girls at the Great River Kingdom grew worried when they thought about the danger they would meet on their long journey. They turned to the girl with black silk hair.
”Hill Master, it is time that you speak up for us.”
