Chapter 399: 239. Assassination
Translator: 549690339
Spring and Autumn, alternate.
Unknowingly, three years had passed since the emperor’s teacher left the mountain.
Three years passed.
The Mirror Lake had not changed.
Instead, it became a pure land.
Many people who sought peace of mind settled here.
A stone tablet was erected in front of the mirror lake.
A poem was written on the tablet.
At this moment, the elderly man was stroking the stone tablet and reciting softly,
“There are immortals in Jiangnan who leave the world and stand alone. A gust of wind could quell a tsunami, and a wave of a hand could exterminate a group of demons. Ten steps to kill a flood dragon, red blood white crane clothes. When the matter is done, I will leave with my horsetail whisk and hide in the west of the Mirror Lake.”
After he finished reciting, he was silent for a long time. He wiped his tears, clearly feeling something.
Then, the old man turned around and walked toward the Longevity Temple by the lake.
A jade statue was placed in the temple.
The jade statue looked like a young man, and it was very powerful. His eyes were calm as if they were hidden in the deep sea.
Her long hair and black hair fell behind her back, tied up in a bun, and she stood with a black and a white saber in her hands.
In the Temple of Eternal Life, there were many people who kowtowed and offered incense.
One was a person who had received grace like the old man, the second was a person who had read the Ten Thousand Laws Scroll and happened to pass by, and the third was a person who prayed for peace.
The old man shakily lit three incense sticks, inserted them into the bronze cauldron in front of the jade statue, and bowed three times.
As he bowed, the fragrance rose up and bathed the body of the jade statue. It made the immortal seem like he was in the clouds, extraordinary and mighty.
After the old man finished paying his respects to the jade statue, he left the Longevity Temple with a worried expression.
What he was worried about was that the war between the north and the south was in full swing.
The Northern army was far more powerful than they had imagined. Ordinary Northland soldiers could use their sabers to create flames, slash out wind blades, and walk on water…
These extraordinary matters of the past seemed to have become ordinary things now.
This was simply unimaginable.
And half a year ago, the first large-scale battle between the north and south, the Battle of Hengjiang, broke out.
In this battle, the Southern Dynasty, known as the Great Zhou, had actually lost to the Northern Shang.
The old man heard someone say,
In the battle of Hengjiang,
Suddenly, it was not like the battle in the past.
A hundred miles of water in the river rose into the sky and drifted for a thousand miles. Then, it descended from the sky and directly drowned the Great Zhou army.
In the midst of this water flow, three huge shadows that covered the sky came from the north. They waved their attacks that could destroy the world and directly killed the 200,000 soldiers at the front line of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
On the Great Zhou’s side, although there were also fierce generals, they were ultimately defeated.
The old man sighed.
Heng Jiang City was the largest city near the river in the Southern Dynasty.
If this city fell, it meant that the northern army could no longer be restricted by the natural barrier of the Yangtze River. They could cross the river and station their troops before marching south.
Zong Dong City.
It was the second large city of the Southern Dynasty that was more than a thousand miles away from Hengjiang City. It was also an important hub for military and commercial affairs.
At this moment,
The city was somewhat chaotic and solemn.
The sounds of patrolling and the clashing of scales rang out from time to time, making it difficult for people to calm down and enter their dreams.
After lying down for a while, he could hear the drum-like sound of horse hooves coming from afar.
If one were to walk on the streets for a short while, one would hear many people sighing and even their mood would become depressed.
Perhaps the situation wasn’t that bad, but the defeat in Heng Jiang City had clearly impacted the hearts of the people.
However. the arrival of the F.mneror of Great 7.11011 roused the hearts of the
people.
Otherwise, he might have been defeated long ago.
At this moment…
In the study room of the side hall of the palace.
Lu Miaomiao put on a bear-eared cloak and added some oil to the green lamp.
The flames danced, casting a human figure and a little bear’s shadow on the wall, flickering.
“Uncle…
Lu Miaomiao ran behind Xia Ji and used her hand to catch the increasing white hair in his black hair, but she did not count them.
“You’ve got more white hair, haven’t you?” Xia Ji asked.
“No, not at all,” Lu Miaomiao replied.”lt’s much less.”
Xia Ji said, ” Miaoyu, why don’t you go to the south or return to the aristocratic families? The enemies in the north are much stronger than we imagined. If there’s really a commotion, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you. ” Although uncle has some ability, he is not invincible in the world.”
“Are you chasing me away?” Lu Miaomiao asked. Or do you think I’m useless?” Don’t you like to play outside? ” Xia Jiqi asked. ” There’s nothing fun here. ‘
“I’m not a child anymore,” Lu Miaomiao said.”l’m nineteen years old.”
She really couldn’t bear to part with this uncle.
After all these years, she had developed feelings for him.
If there were other people around the uncle, she might have left. But now that the uncle was alone, how could she abandon him?
Xia Ji stopped persuading him and continued to flip through the book in front of him. Only by constantly reading and absorbing the Skill Orbs, and then fusing them together with enlightenment, would he become stronger and stronger.
All rivers return to the sea because this river has flowing water.
If he was complacent, he would stop.
No matter how the world changed, as long as he kept getting stronger at the fastest speed, it would be enough.
Therefore, although he was stationed in Zongdong City with the army, the books from Mirror Lake Study were transported over by dozens of carriages.
Wherever he went, the book would go.
Xia Ji read the book, occasionally deep in thought, occasionally muttering something, occasionally raising his brush to add some notes, and then turning to the next page.
Lu Miaomiao leaned over to take a look and saw that the text on the book was obscure. With just a glance, she was sure that ” this is a book that will make people sleepy “. Perhaps she could borrow two books from the uncle when she had insomnia.
Suddenly, the candlelight swayed without warning.
Xia Ji shook his head. ” Miaoyu, come with me. There are assassins.. ‘
