Peace Order

Chapter 1893: Chapter 12: Opening Endless Taiping

This kind of joking, Nangong Wumeng was stunned for a moment, then delighted, saying, "Well, uh... that is true, since this young lady won’t age, I should certainly rethink this."

Old Siming chuckled and said, "Didn’t that kid Li Guanyi force you to sign many indentures?"

Nangong Wumeng glared and said, "What indentures? They are clearly work contracts!"

"He wants me to find countless gold and silver mines. How could I possibly have the skill to find so many mineral deposits?"

Old Siming laughed heartily for a while, then said, "I have a thought."

"It can relieve your worries."

Nangong Wumeng looked skeptical, leaned in slightly, and Old Siming grinned, saying, "I’ll tell you what, search everywhere for those gold and silver mines, then just leave a few unfound and tell him you can’t locate them, and then..."

Nangong Wumeng said, "And then..."

Old Siming said, "Then you can rightfully and openly stay by his side!"

Nangong Wumeng’s perception was strong.

So when she finished hearing the words, even after several breaths, she only realized what she had heard, her face flushed instantly, darted away and pointed at the laughing old Siming and old Mystic Turtle, stammering, "Who!"

"Who said I want to stay by his side!?"

"Moreover, moreover, he’s going to be an emperor, expand territories, and unify the world, a great emperor, yet I have no official status, how can I stay by his side!"

Old Siming and old Mystic Turtle exchanged a glance.

Both saw a hint of delight in the eyes of their old companion opposite.

The elder clapped his hands and laughed, "Hahaha, wonderful, you want a status! What kind of status do you want, that can match your fortune?"

Nangong Wumeng’s face turned completely red.

Now she couldn’t even stammer out words.

The door of Changfeng Building opened, Emperor Qin had removed his armor, wearing just a round-neck robe, with a jade belt at his waist, a jade pendant dangling as he reached up, adjusted his round collar while walking forward, mounted his horse, sensing Old Siming and Nangong Wumeng there.

He looked up and said, "Hey, Nangong Wumeng Reconnoitre General, time’s up."

"Why aren’t you at the Heavenly Strategy Mansion checking in and stamping, what are you doing here?"

Emperor Qin wore a smile, Nangong Wumeng shouted a few ah’s, escaped swiftly from the other side, leaped into the air, Qinggong movement technique extraordinary, but in Old Siming’s perception, that posture, like a startled swan, like a swimming dragon, was ethereal and beautiful, like a silver note with a million tael limit.

Old Siming couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah, what a fortune this is!"

"If I could have such fortune."

"If I could live in a large mansion garden, eat delicacies, I would be willing!"

Li Guanyi laughed, "Delicacies might be rare, but if the old man is willing, I can build you a large garden, no problem."

Old Siming rolled his eyes, laughed and said, "With your nature, how could I not know? Your so-called large garden, isn’t it another academy like fooling Nan Hanwen, wanting the old man to teach students?"

"Indeed, this Jiangnan Emperor Qin never takes a loss."

"No wonder Murong Qiushui raised him well."

Li Guanyi laughed heartily a few times, said, "Then I’ll thank the old man on behalf of aunty for the praise."

Old Siming cursed affectionately, then waved his hand, saying, "I, the old man, have no such thought, alone and carefree, the Sect Master of the Yin Yang Family is still at the academy, wait until your world is peaceful, and seek him then."

"If the old man could drink a cup of wine on the day the world is at peace."

"I would have no regrets."

"Willing to travel and wander the Martial World."

Li Guanyi looked at the back of Old Siming waving his hand, nodded seriously, and said:

"Elder, you will see that day."

...

Many people gathered in the Heavenly Strategy Mansion.

Apart from Yue Pengwu needing to suppress Zhenbei Pass, unable to come, the rest of the Qilin Army core members were present, seated according to civil and military ranks, each with a solemn expression, eyes subtly excited.

With Yue Pengwu absent, Yue Qianfeng held the highest among the military officers.

On the civil side, the first was Mr. Po Jun, closely followed by Yan Daiqing.

Li Zhaowen and Chen Wenmian, due to their unique status, were not seated according to regular civil and military ranks but were given separate seats on the side.

In the past, when the Qilin Army’s Heavenly Strategy Mansion summoned ministers and generals, there was plenty of conversation, the atmosphere typically tense yet slightly relaxed, they may not have joked but could discuss matters.

But today seemed different.

These individuals, had no interest in conversation.

Only Yue Qianfeng closed his eyes like a fierce tiger, Chen Wenmian had a stern look like a gray wolf, Xiao Wuliang with his precious sword, Wang Shunchen gently caressing his war bow, Yan Xuanji like a mountain, Qibi Li with a deep expression like the desert gray wolf, Fan Qing calm and peaceful, Ye Buyi, Zhou Liuying each displaying their sharpness.

Po Jun was as arrogant as ever, Yan Daiqing kept his eyes closed without speaking, Wen Lingjun’s smile was slightly restrained, Fang Ziqiao had a calm smile, Pang Shuiyun stroked his white beard, Yuan Zhi still like a swordsman ranger, Feng Xiao drinking alone, Zhou Pinglu flipping through documents, Xiao Zhi considering the list, Wei Xuancheng, Du Keming were solemn.

Even at this time, the Seventh Prince Ashina led many generals guarding the Northern Domain plains; Yue Qianfeng, Ling Pingyang, Han Zaizhong, Yang Xingshi, among others guarded Zhenbei City, while Wen Qingyu had turned into the Seberian Yan Daiqing, with Yuan Shitong, Xue Tianxing at the Northern Border Pass.
