175 To Find a Tour Guide (1/2)

Qian’er accepted the endless stream of gifts. Looking at these people, her gaze was gentle but it was also tinged with animosity.

She knew that her husband was a militant and a militant was to enter the battlefield. Once on the battlefield, life and death were in the hands of god; either the enemy or their own people would fall.

If there came a day when a mishap happened to her husband, it would be caused by these people who were in front of her, passing her gifts with friendly grins.

With this understanding, this innocent lady could not help feeling the irony within, that she had to accept gifts from these people and listen to their sincere wishes.

Yutang’s troops from all four sides had mostly retreated now; the tables and stools that had stretched for tens of miles away were also packed away cleanly. It was as if nothing had ever happened on this quiet piece of land.

The occasion had finally come to its end.

However, reluctance reflected in the generals’ gazes when they looked at the vast empty land.

Did this just end like this?

This grand affair, that shook the entire military force of the continent, had just ended like this?!

For a moment, they were at a loss.

”I’ve clearly felt it just now…” An old general from Dayuan shut his eyes tight. ”That they’ve come just now… they were drinking with me…”

Hearing his words, the other old marshals trembled with unexplainable emotions, their minds wandering off.

It was not just this old general; all the other old generals felt it clearly as well, the presence of their comrades who had fallen in the battlefields throughout these years, gathered around them.

They were smiling, all of them were ecstatic.

They still shared the same determination of dying and living together, they still shouldered the same happiness and disaster like in the days of old!

Qiu Jianhan sighed at the sky. ”How many brothers have we sent away throughout all these years…”

On another side, Han Sanhe sighed as well.

Qiu Jianhan’s gaze turned fierce. ”It’s ended now, why don't all of you get lost? Are you all addicted to the wine? Looking to drink a few more times? Let me tell you old men, in your dreams! There won’t be a second time for this great event!”

Han Sanhe rolled his eyes and said while smiling, ”There’s still some time before the letter of credence of peace expires. Why should we leave so urgently? Why can’t we have a few more drinks? You may not be willing to receive us, but there are others who might be happy to take us in!”

Leng Daoyin said nonchalantly, ”Brother Han, and you old slaughterers, don’t bear such wishful thinking. If you don’t leave now, you might not have the chance to later. Tiantang City doesn’t welcome any one of you.”

”Each one of you holds a blood debt of no lesser than a hundred thousand Yutang men in your hands!”

Leng Daoyin spoke slowly, ”It would be a terrible regret if any... mishap... were to happen to you here.”

Han Sanhe shook his head and said, ”Let us not lie in front of veterans. I would worry about that in any other country, but not in Yutang.”

”This old and useless one has come to attend the merry event of militants. Secondly, I wish to visit the Residence of the Nine Supremes, to pay homage to their heroic souls. Then I shall go to the ancestral hall of the family of generals to pay my respects to the Shangguan ancestors. After that, I will stop by at the Thousand Feet Lake.”

”Other than these, there is also the Snapped Blade Pavilion that’s famous across the continent and the Lionheart Hall that militants of the world revere.”

Han Sanhe spoke slowly, ”These are the places I must visit. If I have come to the Empire of Yutang but did not go to these spots, it's like returning empty-handed upon entering a treasured mountain – a lost chance that will never return!”

Qiu Jianhan’s face darkened immediately.

Han Sanhe’s list; the Residence of the Nine Supremes, the family of generals’ ancestral hall, Thousand Feet Lake, Snapped Blade Pavilion, and Lionheart Hall would take at least five days for them to complete the visits. If they went a little slower, it could even stretch into ten days.

Some of the places were so mesmerizing that even a person of Han Sanhe’s stature would forget to return after having seen them; it would be a godsend to be able to stay there for a period of time!

However, it was a sensitive time; could it be that this old thing had ill intentions and wished to wreak havoc?!

”Old Man Han is right.” Another old man chuckled and came forward. ”The few of us would like to have a look at these places too.”

Not only Qiu Jianhan, Leng Daoyin and Tie Zheng’s face darkened as well.
