Ch 46 – The Heart Doesn’t Hurt When Bygones Aren’t Pondered:
Ever since the Gao Xing Princessand Xuan Yuan dom with the Black Emperor as ruler Nearly the entire vast wilderness was under the Black Edoms on scattered islands, there was only one place that was not under his power – the variousShui Town bordering it
After Gao Xing and Xuan Yuan ed, there were scattered conflicts and even brief skirmishes, but after twenty years under the Black Emperor’s rule, the vast wilderness was at peace with transportation, goods, and culture freely exchanged There ht be lone voices of dissent but had no iovernance of the Black E day, the Black E and request his surrender and joining of the kingdo refused, and within the span of threethree reater rewards and incentive He even pro with his own arovern the entire territory around Qing Shui Town But Gong Gong turned it all down
In the dog days of Summer, the Black Emperor issued an official procla Resistance Ar soldiers North to battle
Zhuan Xu took into consideration that Gong Gong was aroyal fa and Li Yuan, those old tionis He also didn’t want to send Feng Long and Xian, the Middle Plains new guards, and have thee at hand He decided to send Ru So as the Great General with Yu Jiang and Ju Mang as the supporting generals Even if Gong Gong and Xiang Liu were notoriously stubborn and fierce, with those three leading the charge and endless supplies and support behind the would lose in the end
Just as Zhuan Xu was about to issue the decree, Feng Long cao and report to Ru So
Zhuan Xu always treated Feng Long well so explained “Feng Long, it’s not that I think Ru So is better than you, I actually think sending you is even more certain of success But your identity is special, even with the Chi Sui last na royal fa, then it ree hat he is doing We’re going to win this battle no matter what so there is no need for you to be saddled with the anger of the world I’ you into battle!”
Feng Long knew Zhuan Xu’s words were sincere and it made him even more loyal to him Not just because Zhuan Xu had the vast heart of a true ruler, but because as the ruler he still re a man He valued friendshi+p and loyalty, even when he achieved his goal he never betrayed those ere good to hi said “I knohat Your Majesty is thinking, but years ago as we planned the goal was always the entire world! I knew this day would come and we are one final step away from our dream How many men have dreams, and how many can make it come true? Not every man with a dream can lead an ardo a bad naht thing to do I don’t want to sit out the last battle, so will Your Majesty consent to letcame to see him in Xuan Yuan Castle flashed before Zhuan Xu People were split thinking of what the Black Ereatestor theafter the White Ereatest moue it for the history books It was his conversation with Feng Long, a ree came and went in such a hurry, they didn’t even drink wine and instead toasted ater But in that moment the two men both made the same decision and to this day that decision never wavered
Zhuan Xu ordered “A new procla and Xian as your second-in-co smiled and bowed low “Thank Your Majesty!”
Zhuan Xu said “This ill be very different than the ith Gao Xing years ago, Xiang Liu is not going to be easy to face, be careful!”
Feng Long got up with a so!”
Since Zhuan Xu sent Little Zhu Rong to sway Gong Gong, he would report on every development to the Yellow E Usually when Zhuan Xu reported on political updates, the Yellow Eht best and no need to report, but this ti he never finished so he couldn’t act like he didn’t care
Xiao Yao was always hanging out with the Yellow E clearly When Zhuan Xu said that he na as the Great General to lead the troops to attack Gong Gong’s resistance ar tea and at thatwater poured on herself
Zhuan Xu rushed forward and put iced water on her burned wrist while asking Miao Pu to bring the burn ointrumbled “Why are you so careless? What’s on your ” and moved to continue to brew the tea but Zhuan Xu sent her back to the Yellow E the tea for everyone
Xiao Yao asked “Will Feng Long be setting off soon?”
“Yes, in the next few days”
Xiao Yao sat there silently, Zhuan Xu and the Yellow E her ears but her heart had flown out theand beyond……
The little Hui Chun Clinic, out the back courtyard was a plot of land growing medicinal herbs Below the herb field was the West River, and following the West River it would lead into Qing Shui, and fro Shui it emptied into the East Sea On the banks of the West River, she saved Jing To catch the fei fei, she encountered the white condor Furball She poisoned Furball and got whipped forty ti Liu as a potential spy She wanted to poison Xiang Liu but instead poisoned Jing She wanted to re Liu, which turned out to be a Lover’s Bug where the hearts were beating the same and the lives were entwined……
“Xiao Yao!” Who knehen the Yellow E at her “What are you thinking?”
“I’ Shui Town”
Zhuan Xu said “I lived there before, too Don’t worry, I’ve already ordered officials to safely resettle Qing Shui townspeople”
Xiao Yao nodded
“Are you thinking about Xiang Liu?”
Xiao Yao looked down and said nothing
Zhuan Xu said “I know you have so of his ability and loyalty I’ connection with hi of the past………I have to eliminate them!”
“I know” Xiao Yao was fully aware that Zhuan Xu did everything he could already to have theht this war, and for the Sheng Nong resistance ar wrong, as the ruler of a kingdo Gong and Xiang Liu were also not wrong in sticking with their loyalty and beliefs
Zhuan Xu sighed “NoLiu, we stand on opposite sides so I hope you don’t have any further ties with him”
Xiao Yao said “Don’t worry, I know!” It was because it was so clear since the very beginning, that’s why Xiang Liu kept re herself, that she and Xiang Liu could never be friends
Feng Long caht before he set off to war
The last ti ca, and since then Xiao Yao hadn’t seen hi Yue In Xiao Yao’s mind, these people appeared to have vanished for the last few years
Xiao Yao took Feng Long for a walk in the forest so as to not disturb the Yellow E was silent on the walk and Xiao Yao thought about hi Liu so she wasn’t in the mood to talk either The tordlessly walked all the way to the top of the mountain
Xiao Yao saw the peaks of Zhi Jin Sued with clouds, which re Yue before she was
Feng Long pointed to Left Ear “Was he the one who saved you?” Left Ear followed the intently at Feng Long
“Yes, he saved me”
“Thank heavens he was there, otherwise I would have rave and irreversible error”
Xiao Yao stared silently at Feng Long who said “Back then I really did plan on helping my sister kill you The tens of assassins that he killed were all uards sent to kill you”
Left Ear interjected “I didn’t kill the said “No wonder! I ondering with their powers there would be no reason they would all lose just to one person”
Left Ear said nothing else so Feng Long turned to Xiao Yao “You knew that I was trying to kill you, right?”
Since Feng Long was so candid then Xiao Yao didn’t want to deny it “I overheard your conversation with Xing Yue, you tere so agitated and not careful enough”
Feng Long asked “Why didn’t you tell His Majesty?”
“Back then I greatly insulted you and the entire Chi Sui clan before a who’s who of the vast wilderness You let it go and that was you being forgiving, but I still owed you so today let’s consider it truly even”
“Are you angry? Look down on me?”
Xiao Yao shook her head “Since childhood you lived carefree, with the only frustration that people around you didn’t understand or accept your grand dreaht a new outfit she drea killed Some lines one can’t cross, but once one does it then it h to the end! At that ti Yue, if you cast her aside for yourself and Chi Sui clan then I would look down upon you”
Feng Long glanced at Xiao Yao before laughing loudly “I, Chi Sui Feng Long, only proposed to one woman in my entire life, who knew she would run off But now I don’t regret asking her tothecereret that she was so close to being my wife and that didn’t happen”
Xiao Yao smiled and shook her head “It wasn’t so close, it was stillan entire heart One day when you see a wo a war, then you will knohat Isaid “I asked His Majesty to let her position orYue His Majesty didn’t take away her Empress position or lock her up, but he has co flesh is even more painful, and without His Majesty’s respect then the wo Yue In three years she’s aged hundreds of years I want to win this big war and when His Majesty asksother than to ask that he forgives Xing Yue this once” Feng Long bowed low to Xiao Yao “When the ti Yue I pro over her all the tiain And after these past three years, she will never have the guts to do it again either!”
Xiao Yao sighed loudly “You guys think His Majesty does whatever I ask but that’s only because I know hiree to Like before when he attacked Gao Xing, and nohen he’s going to attack……” Xiao Yao stopped herself before continuing “I’m well aware that even if I ask hiree” That’s why this tiry at him, now she could only silently and despondently look on as Zhuan Xu sent an ar Liu’s resistance ar dropped to his knees with a loud thud and Xiao Yao frantically tried to get him to rise since the head of the Four Great Clans did not need to kneel before an E Long had strong powers and intended to kneel so Xiao Yao could not pull him up, so she had no choice but to kneel down as well to face hiesture fro looked inconsolable and Xiao Yao had never seen the confident arrogant Feng Long show this side before Feng Long said “Xing Yue and I are twins and sometimes I think that if she was born first and taken to Chi Sui, and I stayed at Xuan Yuan Castle, hoould she turn out? Perhaps she wouldn’t be as determined or she may not have married His Majesty Maybe she would be very happy now Xiao Yao, I beg of you! I beg you please!” Feng Long kept bowing his head repeatedly on the ground to Xiao Yao
Xiao Yao said “His Majesty can be very stubborn as well and on this e hisYue when the ti said “I prayYue in the end”
Xiao Yao said “Can we stop kneeling now, if anyone saw us then I would be in big trouble!”
Feng Long took a deep breath and seeh “How co e didn’t finish at the wedding cere hard on the shoulder like a buddy “Stop dreao when Xiao Yao lived at Little Zhu Rong’s residence, her behavior and gestures were very to like a girl Later it was either she became more feminine or they drifted apart, but he didn’t have that impression anymore Now that mood cah “Aren’t you going to wishluck, then where was she putting Xiang Liu? Xiao Yao grew silent and then shook her head “This is you men stuff and doesn’t involveabout it”
Feng Long chuckled before bidding farewell “Fine! Then I’m off now! Let’s have a drink when I return victorious!”
Xiao Yao gestured farewell back and watched as Feng Long flew off towards the direction of the ar would depart with a great arain – It had nothing to do with her! But why did it still hurt sothat this as a must win for Xuan Yuan, but didn’t need to be rushed Start with small skirmishes to deteret lured into theThe resistance army was based in the mountains and once lured inside they would have the full advantage That’s why the Yellow Emperor sent forces many times in the past and all were defeated
An ar Gong picked Qing Shui toas because it was aligned with Gao Xing and next to the East Sea for the water route Even if the Yellow Emperor closed off all land routes for the provision of supplies, Gong Gong could still get supplied through Gao Xing channels or the water route Back then Gao Xing was happy to have the resistance army be a thorn in the side of Xuan Yuan and secretly sent provisions, and even so But now things were different, the entire vast wilderness was under the rule of Xuan Yuan and the kingdom army now had provisions and even the forces from all the major fa Long to surround the resistance army and slowly choke off all its supply routes until it starved to the point of being easy to take down
Feng Long set off to war and i the resistance forces until it retreated into the deep ’s ar’s ar the day A little fire here, so’s arht and afraid to sleep soundly
During the ith Gao Xing, Feng Long was patient because he knehat he wanted Even if he lost battles to Ru So he was certain that digging end then he’ll win the eventual victory But this tioal wasn’t personal valor or sense of achievement, it was to help his little sister He could battle for ten to twenty years but Xing Yue couldn’t wait that long!
Before setting off Feng Long went to see Xing Yue to tell her to be patient noYue’s attitude was cold and she even walked out on hi said He was afraid that she would have a breakdown, or even worse throw all caution to the end and do so Yue, when Feng Long got a secret report that Gong Gong’s ar Liu’s trap and suffered a major defeat
Zhuan Xu was furious and perplexed, Feng Long may be brash but he wasn’t rash and clueless, and he never would force a victory just for the reward Even when he lost big to Ru So and was forced to retreat, Feng Long did so willingly to preserve the bigger picture
Because Zhuan Xu couldn’t figure out why Feng Long was acting out of sorts, it eneral
The Yellow Eeneral in theso was a very tense decision, especially with Feng Long’s lofty background So a Middle Plains general leading, others will think that Feng Long wasn’t trustworthy which is why he was being switched out
Zhuan Xu cal so I won’t switch hi Shui Townthis way”
The Yellow Emperor nodded his head when Xiao Yao suddenly said “I want to go with you!”
Zhuan Xu wanted to let her but orried about the risk “This is different than the ith Gao Xing, it will be dangerous”
“I’ll always stay by your side You don’t have confidence in protecting yourself? In that case neither Grandfather or o either”
Zhuan Xu chuckled “So sharp tongued, all you can do is argue Fine, let’s go together!”
Three days later the arrange Shui Toith Xiao Yao
The once bustling Qing Shui Toas a thing of the past, when they passed Hui Chun Clinic Zhuan Xu explained “All the Qing Shui Town residents have been iven land and fields After the war if they wish they will be allowed to return”
Xiao Yao silently nodded her head
The entire Qing Shui Toas turned into an arest residence that ned by the Tu Shan clan Jing once lived there and noas harried Feng Long who rushed out to greet the instead joked “This is the best residence in town and if I don’t live here no one else will dare use it How did Your Majesty know to find me here?”
Zhuan Xu explained “I lived a few years in Qing Shui Town so a was taken aback and realized that it must be before he knew Zhuan Xu “Was Your Majesty still in Gao Xing at that ti for this day even back then?”
Zhuan Xu setting the throne and wanted to corandfather a headache But I also was thinking of what to do should the day arrive that I have to deal with these stubborn folks”
Feng Long was chastened “I let Your Majesty down”
Zhuan Xu patted Feng Long on the shoulder “Knowing you for hundreds of years, this one defeat isn’t letting me down, I’m worriedLong said nothing and looked distressed
Feng Long walked the used to live here back then he never visited so had no reaction Xiao Yao walked into the courtyard that she was very fa the hottest days of su on the corridor, multicolored and in various floral shapes As the wind passed it could carry the cold air and turn the courtyard as cool as spring
Xiao Yao looked around and saw all the sa the sensation that a refined gentle at her
But…that wasn’t to be!
The sunlight was the sa at her with affection was no longer there Xiao Yao’s heart hurt and her eyes saw black, she was about to collapse when Zhuan Xu grabbed her “Xiao Yao!”
“No worries, I almost tripped is all” Xiao Yao tried to control herself but her breathing was ragged and both Zhuan Xu and Feng Long heard it clearly
Zhuan Xu quietly asked “Did Jing use to live here?”
Feng Long re said he knew Xiao Yao fro Shui Town so Feng Long quickly said “I’ll have another place prepared”
Zhuan Xu was about to say yes when Xiao Yao forced a smile “Here is fine” At least there was the lanced at Zhuan Xu and saw him nod so bowed to leave and let the clothes, Zhuan Xu walked outside to see Xiao Yao sitting in a daze on the corridor staring at the flowers
He sat down beside her and asked “Is it the same view still?”
“The flowers are the sa on the corridor”
“I’ll have it hung up now”
Xiao Yao glanced over and met Zhuan Xu’s eyes before she darted away “Zhuan Xu, you……you don’t have to do this!”
“Don’t have to do what?” Zhuan Xu’s voice was filled with sorrow “I can’t stop you fro so all I can do ismakes you happy then I’ll help you there too”
“Will you be happy doing this?”
“My happiness or sadness doesn’t matter to me, all that matters is that you are beside , will you be like this forever?”
Zhuan Xu was silent for a et Jing! No one can wipe away a me will still be in your heart as if he just left I just hope that you will allowforward”
Xiao Yao asked “Zhuan Xu, why do you beggar yourself like this? Why are you so stubborn? You’re the Emperor of the entire vast wilderness!”
Zhuan Xu smiled at Xiao Yao “Because you are my Xiao Yao”
His tone was tender but his expression certain, so Xiao Yao could only once again averthis eyes
Zhuan Xu s and the to tour the army base so if I’m not back by dinner you eat first”
Xiao Yao kept her head lowered so Zhuan Xu stood up and glanced at the courtyard full of flowers, ta out
Xiao Yao sat in the corridor staring at the flowers until it was near sunset
Suddenly the loud screams and roars split the air and Xiao Yao raised her head to see Xiang Liu wearing a white goldon the back of a white condor in thea silver bow in hand and clearly already shot off an arrow and was cocking his bow to shoot a second one
“Zhuan Xu! Noooooo!” Xiao Yao shrieked and rushed outside, herLiu release the second arrow Her only thought was that nothing could happen to Zhuan Xu!
When she arrived at the front door, she saw Zhuan Xu sitting on the ground covered in blood, he was looking skyward as Xiang Liu already flown off
Zhuan Xu projected his voice powerfully “Xiang Liu, one day I will take your life!”
