Peace Order

Chapter 1863: Chapter 4: Emperor Ying Rises, the Four Directions Stir

Jiang Gao’s eyes showed bitterness, he smiled and said: "Sister-in-law was right, I thought too poorly." He took out a drink, drank a cup himself, and then poured the second cup on the ground, saying: "I only wish the General well."

He fell silent for a moment, brushing past his clothes.

This former Crown Prince knelt down halfway towards Qin Yulong, who was shocked and extended his hand to support Jiang Gao’s arm, saying: "Your Highness, what are you doing?!"

Jiang Gao said: "The General serves the country so much, yet he must leave under a cloud of injustice. I, Gao, cannot clear his name, I can only do this."

Qin Yulong whispered: "When I abandoned the army to return, I was already aware of this; my wife and I, after all, have the nature of the Martial World. But this body bears the grace of the late Emperor..."

He looked at Jiang Gao, subconsciously applying force to his arm, saying: "Jiang Yuan, Prince Jiang Guang understands people’s hearts, has intelligence and talent, yet does not think of the country, only for himself!"

"If this continues, Daying will be ruined by him. If Your Highness has a heart to save the country, just need to raise your arm, Yulong and General Yuwen are willing to be your left and right arms, then we can definitely rectify chaos and protect the country!"

"Your Highness!"

Jiang Gao paused slightly, he thought of Jiang Yuan’s reckless actions over the past few years, and a hint of struggle appeared on his face.

But finally, the look of struggle subsided.

The hand that had been clenched relaxed, Jiang Gao sighed and said: "This matter is akin to treason, forcing a brother to abdicate... Gao cannot do it, moreover, with my temperament, I’m afraid I will have a conflict with Grandmaster."

Qin Yulong looked at Jiang Gao, sighed for a long time, and finally just pulled back his arm with disappointment, saying nothing, just leaving with his wife and children, fifty li ahead, encountering a man with arms folded, clutching a heavy spear, leaning against a tree.

Qin Yulong said: "General Yuwen!"

Yuwen Lie said nothing, raised his hand and threw.

A jar of wine flew over, Qin Yulong reached out to catch it.

This time, without any hesitation, there was a hint of smile on the tired face, he unsparingly opened the seal and drank with his head up, Yuwen Lie drank as well, the two Divine Generals drained the strong liquor in one go.

Yuwen Lie said no farewell words, just picked up his long spear and said:

"If you want to go to Li Guanyi, then go."

"Only on the battlefield, Yuwen Lie will be the first to kill you!"

Qin Yulong clasped his fists in salute, saying: "The late Emperor’s grace toward me was profound, but just retiring to the Martial World; I will by no means oppose Daying!"

Yuwen Lie did not respond, just riding his warhorse, galloping away. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

It was as if he did not respond to the Emperor’s invitation, riding a hundred li afar, just to drink a pot with Qin Yulong, and after drinking, he lost interest, just rode back alone.

Qin Yulong was stirred within, finally opening his mouth, saying: "Yuwen, your nature is proud and aloof, but in Daying today, it is not a good thing, the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, the one who acts superior to others must be challenged."

"Yuwen, take care!"

He shouted, Yuwen Lie did not respond.

Qin Yulong sighed, feeling very melancholy, Xue Peijun asked in puzzlement, saying:

"So melancholy?"

Qin Yulong replied: "I don’t know how he sees me, only among those I am acquainted with, only Yuwen can be called a lifelong close friend."

Xue Peijun wondered: "You didn’t have much connection with him in the past, did you?"

After a long while, Qin Yulong replied:

"The friendship between people is not determined by time."

Yuwen Lie rode back, only to see Ying Country’s royal city towering solemnly.

Returning to the Yuwen Family, there was an Imperial Decree.

Without looking at it, he stomped it broken.

Burnt and boiled wine.

...

In the winter of the third year of a Ye, Jiang Yuan had taken control of the court in his own way, officials flattered him, Grandmaster Jiang Su and Emperor Qin faced off, reducing the frequency of clashes, subtly showing signs of building two great cities here.

Yuan Shitong and Xue Tianxing still remained outside the Northern Domain.

They received letters instructing them to guard this place and not to leave easily.

Though they did not understand why, they continued to wait.

And this day, with the weather of great gusts of wind.

A seemingly gentle and unassuming young man finally arrived here.

Yuan Shitong and Xue Tianxing greeted him, saying: "Sir has finally arrived."

"May we know how to address you?"

On the northeastern edge of Daying Kingdom, the gentle and unassuming young man revealed a trustworthy smile:

"My name is Yan Daiqing."
