In the twenty-fourth year of Xuanming, Emperor Xuanming Zhong Haotian ascended the throne for twenty-four years. During the 20 years of Xuanming, Chu Tian, the Dingguo General who followed Emperor Xuanming to pacify the Jiang Kingdom and start the prosperity of the Jiang Kingdom, died of illness. The emperor mourned for him and did not sleep for three days. He personally wrote an inscription for the general of Dingguo to remember him and mourn the general's death. He also allowed the General's only son, Chu Li, to inherit his father's title. He was in charge of the military power of the Jiang Kingdom.
The Jiang Country had a vast territory. There was a poisonous miasma forest in the south, and further south was the powerful Jin Kingdom. There were even a few small border countries in the west. He looked far away from the sea.
The moon hung in the sky, and the cold moon was missing a piece in the night sky. It was curved and hung in the blue sea and sky. At night, the wind on the sea was even stronger than during the day. Waves came one after another. The sea water hit the warship wave after wave, and the hull kept shaking and moving on the sea. Under the night sky, the warships of the Jiang Kingdom were anchored in the Ice Sea Harbor, one after another. On the warship, there were soldiers walking around, and there were also people dozing off. Some soldiers were taking over, and the soldiers who were replaced yawned as they left.
There was a flag on the bow of the ship that was blowing in the night wind. Under the moonlight, the word Chu could be vaguely seen on the flag.
In the hearts of the enemy countries, the word Chu was undoubtedly a huge mountain blocking their way.
Chu Li stood at the bow of the ship in full armor. It was a little stuffy inside the ship. Chu Li had been at sea for a long time. After he was done with his work, he put on his robe and walked to the bow of the ship. The sea breeze blew against his face. The soldier's cold and straight figure stood at the bow of the ship. His thin cloak was fluttering in the wind.
The moon hung in the sky, and someone walked over in a hurry. Tang Qing, the fat deputy general with a broad waist, walked over from the other side of the bow with his sword in hand.
Chu Li's eyes were filled with determination and the unyielding spirit of a soldier. He was like a sharp sword.
Tang Qing walked over and leaned close to Chu Li. He quietly observed his surroundings before he felt relieved and took out the item hidden behind his robe. Tang Qing said as he sealed a bamboo tube with wax. "General, this just came from the Imperial Capital.”
Chu Li nodded and walked back to the cabin with Tang Qing. There were many small insects flying around the oil lamp. They threw themselves into the kerosene and were burned until they creaked. There was a burning smell.
Tang Qing looked behind him cautiously. After confirming that there was no doubt, he closed the door and whispered to Chu Li. "It was the emperor who sent the cavalry over. The cavalry was personally selected by the emperor, so it must be something important for the cavalry to personally deliver the letter.”
Chu Li did not think so and merely shook his head.
He took out the letter from the bamboo tube. On a thin piece of paper, he simply wrote,"Return to the Imperial Capital at once."
After Chu Li finished reading, he ordered," Tang Qing, pick twelve capable men from the guards and return to the Imperial Capital overnight."”
Tang Qing did not ask further. He merely waved his hand as he observed that Chu Li did not hear any news. "Yes."
He held his sword and hurried out, his broad waist quickly disappearing at the door. Chu Li placed the piece of paper on the oil lamp and watched him turn into dust before he walked out with his sword.
Torches were burning on the city walls as a group of people rushed over from the main road in the middle of the night. The night was like a ghost. It was almost dawn, and the sound of horse hooves came from afar. Chu Li and his men stopped in front of the city wall. At this moment, someone shouted from the top of the city wall," Who's below the city wall?"”
Chu Li had been ordered to return to the Imperial Capital, but Emperor Xuan Ming had secretly summoned him back. If his identity was exposed now, it would definitely cause the courtiers to speculate. He lowered his voice and said," Just let them open the door.”
The soldiers beside him understood the general's meaning and replied to the people upstairs. "Just open the door. If you're late by even half a second, I won't spare your life.”
The guards on the city wall were awakened by the aura of the person who had come. The commandant stood behind and carefully analyzed the situation. He had been guarding the city gate for many years and could clearly see the situation inside. When the soldier came back to report, the commandant kicked him hard and shouted loudly. "Damned brat, hurry up and open the door. There are so many high-ranking officials and nobles under the Imperial City. How would a small fry like you know? If you're not careful, you'll throw out your nickname.”
Entering the capital late at night without revealing his identity, he did not know who it was. He touched the helmet on his head and thought for a moment before saying," Open the city gate. Don't cause trouble."”
After the city gates slowly opened, a group of people rode their horses into the city. The thirteen of them majestically rushed towards the Imperial City. The General's Mansion was magnificent. It was built by Emperor Xuan Ming in the early years. Later, General Chu slowly built it. The gardens and jade ponds were all exquisite. There was a large area of orchids in the General's manor, and there were all kinds of strange orchids. The old general planted the orchids for his wife, but his wife left too early, so he planted the orchids to miss his wife.
Chu Li was draped in a cloak and the General's Residence was brightly lit. Han Yisheng hurriedly put on his clothes to welcome Chu Li's sudden return.
However, Han Yisheng had received the news that everyone in the residence was asleep. Chu Li had told him to keep it a secret when he sent the message. Han Yisheng had been by Chu Li's side for many years and had won Chu Li's heart. Naturally, he had done his job properly. Back then, Han Yisheng had been struggling in the marketplace. If Chu Li had not brought him into the General's Residence, he would not have had such a status today.
He leaned over to Chu Li's side." Why did the General suddenly return?”
The twelve soldiers were masked and followed behind Chu Li. Chu Li nodded and the twelve soldiers retreated. The mansion was filled with lights, and the glass lampshades were very interesting. Chu Li had been away from the General's Residence for some time. Apart from Han Yisheng who had sent someone to deliver the news, he was not clear about many things in the Imperial Capital.
Han Yisheng said as he followed behind Chu Li. "General, you must need to rest since you rushed back overnight.”
Night was not the same as day. At this moment, the night wind felt a little cold. There was a soup pool built in the General's manor. Han Yisheng said," Why don't you soak in the soup pool to get rid of your fatigue?"”
Chu Li asked as he extended his right hand to indicate that he did not need it. "Has anything happened in Hillford recently?”
"On the surface, it's calm, but King Ming Nan has been taking frequent actions recently. King Ming Nan has sent his own people to the important positions of the six tribes. In recent years, the Emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and King Ming Nan had been handling political affairs on his behalf. King Ming Nan had also taken the opportunity to do a lot of things for him. The court seemed calm, but it was actually divided into two factions. One faction naturally sided with Mingnan Wang, while the other side sided with the Crown Prince. However, the Crown Prince was still young. After this year, he was only ten years old, and the prince's behavior was absurd, so Emperor Xuanming was very unhappy.”
Han Yisheng analyzed.
The light was dim and countless insects were flying around under the light. Occasionally, the petals of fallen flowers would fly and land on the veranda. Chu Li asked," You're only half right. The current Emperor is not as incompetent as you think."”
He led 5,000 soldiers to defeat the enemy and went to the enemy camp alone, defeating the Kiara Race. Emperor Xuanming was a god in the hearts of his soldiers, an omnipotent war god. He established the Jiang Kingdom. Since the founding of the country, the people had been peaceful and the country was prosperous. Emperor Xuan Ming was not just a reckless man.
Chu Li had the fierce aura of a soldier, and his entire body naturally exuded a charisma that made people unable to look straight at him. Chu Li could not be considered handsome, but he had a heroic spirit. His posture was tall and straight, and even in the dark night, he could not hide his domineering aura.
Han Yisheng asked in confusion. "General, what do you mean?"
Chu Li's chiseled face smiled. "Let's not talk about this for now. The world is unpredictable.”
Han Yisheng did not say much. When Chu Li asked, he would answer. He would never say what he should not say. He would skip what he should do. Whenever he made a mistake, he would die.
