C244 Cold weather (1/2)
As night fell, Little Fairy Xue Ge's residence was surprisingly quiet, it was completely not as bustling as it was in the past.
This was the second day after the victory of the Wind and Moon War. The weather was cold and the hearts of people were boiling.
In front of Cheng Jian's sickbed, it was surrounded by people.
”Teacher, my cultivation level isn't high enough, so I can only temporarily protect the Grand Master's life. I'm sorry, I'm sorry …”
Looking at Xue Ge's guilty expression, Chang Jing was filled with emotion. He truly did not think that her unintentional action back then would actually create the current Little Fairy, much less that she would even save her father's life! Originally, Chang Jing did not dare to accept the title of ”Teacher”, but under Xue Ge's forceful insistence, he could only ”accept her fate” — since she had already accepted three students, taking another one would be more or less alright!
However, he did not expect that the four students he had accepted would end up being the top magic characters in the The Fiendgod continent, becoming legendary experts of the Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth elements!
”Don't be silly. I don't even have enough time to thank you. Why would I blame you?” Chang Jing lightly patted her shoulder, and comforted her, ”It's all your fault, otherwise, I really wouldn't know what would have happened! Don't be sad, let me see what's going on. ”
He sat on the edge of the bed and bent down. Cheng Jian's complexion was very good, other than his muscles being slightly more relaxed compared to ordinary people, they were also as ruddy as the others.
Rou Xin's eyes were focused on the father and son pair the entire time. Her gaze was filled with gratification and concern for his son's current achievements, as well as concern for Cheng Jian's health. He was even more worried about whether Chang Jing was able to save his father.
What if he failed … Rou Xin did not dare to think further, this result was something she could not accept! Ka Buyi and Qing He, who were by her side, quietly reached out and grabbed her hand, ”It's alright, Aunt (Aunt), Big Brother Chang Jing will definitely be able to do it!”
This was the greatest trust they had for Chang Jing, right? Rou Xin couldn't help but think that he was truly fortunate to have two girls who liked him so much.
Chang Jing closed both of her eyes. Her deep concern for her father caused him to release a strong white light right after she began to use ”Gentle as Water”. It was so thick that it was hard to see.
”Let's go out,” Xue Ge pulled her grandfather's hand and said to the rest, ”With teacher treating grandteacher, then there won't be any problems to worry about, it's better if we don't disturb him.”
Everyone nodded and followed her out. The only ones left in the room were Chang Jing, his father and the soft light that couldn't be waved away. It was so white that it made people feel at peace.
Mayor Feng Yue Mansion.
Mo Yan was discussing with the mayor about recovering the lost land.
The mayor said, ”According to General Mo's intentions, we have to end the battle quickly?”
”Yes,” Mo Yan stared at the map of the Ara, pointed at every place where the red dot was drawn and said in pain, ”As Left Vanguard Ye said, although Mace was defeated in this battle, their strength is still not to be underestimated. Furthermore, according to reliable sources, Ai Lisi has already taken back most of Mace's land, and it is time for her to sharpen her governance, there is no reason for us to give up these places. As for us, we need to increase our speed! ”
”Even so, the emperor hasn't given any instructions yet. I'm afraid …” The mayor shook his head and said, ”I'm afraid there's suspicion that he's good at making decisions.”
”I know that as well, but what else can I do?” Mo Yan sighed, ”Although the country is in a difficult situation, the wars in the country have never stopped! If the imperial edict were to arrive, it would be too late! But then again, the Emperor didn't expect us to be so fast. It only took us one night to solve the danger that had plagued him for so many years, the Wind Moon City! ”
”This is all thanks to General Ye!” ”I never thought that there would be such an outstanding Magician in our Ara. If not for him, I reckon the current situation would be completely different! If he were to lead the troops and go on an expedition, then it would not be a big problem to reclaim the country! ”
”Well, I think so too!” Mo Yan replied, ”But once we report it to the imperial government, who will send out the troops will not be under our control. Chang Jing doesn't seem to have much interest in leading the troops either, because last night when I went to report this matter to him, he had already given up. If a young person has such an imposing manner, then his future will be limitless! ”
”That's a problem!” The mayor rubbed his aching temples and said, ”Let's not talk about this anymore …” What do you plan to do with Ao Delun, will you directly hand him over to the emperor for decision, or do you have other plans? ”
”It's hard to guarantee that his trusted aides will be present in the court. I want to use him as a trump card when necessary to make sure his subordinates don't fight!”
”It is a good idea, but this official feels that this matter is too important. If it is not reported to the imperial government, I'm afraid it will affect you in the future.”
”Haha …” Mo Yan laughed coldly, ”Since I have already requested for troops to come out, I naturally would not care about all these. So what if I can take back the head that I lost?!”
However, just as his heroic spirit soared into the sky, a series of hurried knocks sounded out from outside the door.
”Come in.”
Just as he finished his sentence, a soldier hurriedly pushed open the door and ran in.
When the mayor saw that he was not being polite, he could not help but ask with a serious face, ”Why are you in such a hurry?”
”Milords, the emperor has sent a secret decree!”
The two of them were shocked when they heard this. They took the wax-sealed bamboo tube from his hands and asked, ”The capital is more than a thousand miles away. How did you get this decree in a short day?”
