Snow Moon City, on the main street outside the Sky Ascension Pavilion.
A thousand black-armored soldiers marched forward in formation.
The Great General in the lead was wearing heavy armor with blazing feathers and a red cloak.
He was wearing golden shoes and boots, and a unicorn bite was tied to his waist.
On his shoulders were lion head shoulder armor.
The two chest guards were also made of gold.
The heart-protecting mirror in the middle was engraved with the word "Ye" in the Book of Tang.
Great General Ye Xiaoying was tall and sturdy. With his heavy armor, he looked like a giant.
The four hooves of the warhorse under him were as tall as a person.
He could kill a person with a kick!
Such a fierce and domineering appearance made people's hearts tremble.
The passersby didn't even need the soldiers to open up a path, they just opened up a path for them.
As Ye Xiaoying's army passed by, the pedestrians on both sides did not even dare to look up.
It was because Ye Xiaoying's name was too resounding.
The lives he had taken.
It was at least 800,000!
If it weren't for Ye Xiaoying's ruthlessness, he wouldn't have been able to suppress the millions of souls on his back.
Ye Xiaoying stopped 500 meters away from the entrance of the Sky Ascension Pavilion.
He was waiting, waiting for the City Lord of Snow Moon City to come and welcome him.
Even if he was only a Rank-6 assistant minister, the city lord had to come to welcome the general of Chang 'an.
This was a rule and a form of courtesy.
No matter what realm the City Lord of Snow Moon City was at.
In front of the generals and emissaries sent by the imperial court, they were all commoners!
After half a cup of tea's time, the door of the Heaven Ascension Pavilion slowly opened.
Sikong Changfeng and Li Hanyi, who was wearing a Luosha mask, walked out one after another.
Sikong Changfeng did not bring his silver spear.
It was because he saw the dragon remove its armor.
Although Ye Xiaoying was not the Son of Heaven, he was from Chang 'an, which meant he represented the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, Sikong Changfeng was not allowed to carry any weapons.
Li Han Yi didn't care.
Of her two sword sheaths, only one still had a sword.
The other scabbard was empty.
Ye Xiaoying noticed the difference.
Sikong Changfeng cupped his hands and said,
"General Ye, why did you come all the way from Chang 'an?”
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoying jumped off his horse and smiled,
"Brother Sikong, I am here to escort His Highness the King of Shu to Yizhou. On the way back, he dropped by to visit his daughter.”
Seeing Ye Xiaoying's attitude, Sikong Changfeng heaved a sigh of relief.
He complained,"
"Good heavens, you brought a thousand Black Armored Soldiers with you, and I thought you were going to flatten my Snow Moon City!”
Ye Xiaoying smiled and said,"
"How could I? My daughter is still in the city. If I were to trample Snow Moon City and hurt Ruoyi, my heart would ache to death.”
Ye Xiaoying's words were ingenious.
He didn't deny Sikong Changfeng's words.
This means that your Snow Moon City isn't an insurmountable obstacle.
If you are not honest, Chang 'an will issue an imperial edict, and I, Ye Xiaoying, will trample on your Snow Moon City!
Halfway through his sentence, Ye Xiaoying changed the topic,"
"However, I don't think my black-armored army needs to flatten it. Even the four experts of the Heaven Ascension Pavilion can't stop an old man.”
Sikong Changfeng exchanged a glance with Li Hanyi, then smiled awkwardly and said,"
"Indeed, his skills are inferior to others. He has also shown us what it means to be better than others!”
"But although we couldn't stop him, we didn't let him cause trouble in our Snow Moon City.”
Ye Xiaoying raised his eyebrows.
He tilted his head to look at Li Han Yi and teased,"
"Sword Immortal Xue Yue, why did you change your mask today? Where is that ugly mask?"
Li Han Yi snorted and said in a low voice,"
"Do I need to report to General Ye about wearing a mask?”
After saying that, he turned his head away and ignored her.
Ye Xiaoying's lips curled up slightly. He had already guessed the reason.
This was probably related to that white-haired old man.
Sikong Changfeng opened his mouth to change the topic.
"General Ye has come to my Snow Moon City. As long as you're not here to cause trouble, we'll treat you with good wine and food.”
"Tonight, there will be a banquet in the City Lord's Estate. General Ye must come!”
Ye Xiaoying nodded and said,"
"Alright, then I'll let brother Sikong spend the money!”
…………
Night fell. In a remote area of Snow Moon City, Cold Moon Pavilion.
This pavilion was situated at a very high altitude, allowing one to survey half of Snow Moon City.
At night, the lights in Snow Moon City were dim. It was very beautiful.
Li Ke sat in the Cold Moon Pavilion, enjoying the night view in the evening breeze.
Now, the Great Tang was on the rise.
The surrounding countries were complicated.
There are thirty-two Buddhist countries in the Western Regions, Tubo and Tuyuhun.
The Eastern and Western Turks and Xue Yantuo in the north.
To the east is Ryukyu Koguryo, and to the south is Baiyue Ancient Qiang.
Li Ke looked at the lights in half the city and could not help but be high-spirited.
He stood up and shouted loudly,
"For generations to come, the bright moon of the Great Tang will shine brightly on the windowsill of every household!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the path behind him.
Li Ke stood with his hands behind his back and turned his head sideways.
He saw that the person was dressed in green and had a graceful appearance…
……
The snowy moon was thick.
When Li Ke turned around, the woman in green appeared in front of him. When she saw Li Ke in the pavilion, she exclaimed in surprise.
Every night, she would be the one admiring the moon. Today, an outsider had come.
"You and your father look very different.”
Li Ke said casually.
"You know my father?"
"Who doesn't know that Great General Ye Ying was killed? Don't you think so, Ye Ruoyi?”
When Li Ke turned to look at Ye Ruoyi, his bright eyes instantly made Ye Ruoyi's heart beat faster!
"Who are you? How do you know me?”
"Of course I know you. Ye Ying told me about you…"
"What? You know my father?"
"Of course I know your father. Your father is in Snow Moon City, right? Guess why your father took the time to visit you?”
Li Ke's words enlightened Ye Ruoyi.
Everyone in the world knew that the King of Shu, Li Ke, had gone to Yizhou and that Great General Ye Ying had escorted the King of Shu into Shu.
"Are you…the King of Shu?”
Under the moonlight, Ye Ruoyi looked at Li Ke. Her sparkling eyes were filled with longing.
This was the King of Shu.
She had heard many things about the King of Shu. Among all the princes, the King of Shu was the most talented and talented, but he was the least valued prince.
The King of Shu wanted to gain everyone's recognition, but everyone was ostracizing him. There was no place for the King of Shu in Chang 'an.
What kind of grievance was this? He tried his best to integrate into the circle of others, but in the end, he was pushed out.
Ye Ruoyi walked in front of Li Ke.
A few days ago, her father had entered the Snow Moon City and told her about what had happened to the King of Shu.
Ye Ruoyi complained for the injustice of His Highness the King of Shu.
Why did everyone bully the King of Shu?
Why did everyone ostracize the King of Shu?
Just because the King of Shu carried the blood of the previous dynasty, should he suffer humiliation and be unable to resist?
All along, everyone thought that His Highness the King of Shu had no achievements and had accomplished nothing!
The King of Shu's intelligence report that Ye Ruoyi had obtained had these words: He had accomplished nothing!
She had been watching Li Ke for a long time.
Under the moonlight, his melancholic gaze was deep and charming, giving Ye Ruoyi a strange feeling.
This man's heart was filled with great sorrow as he carried a heavy burden forward!
Under the moonlight, Li Ke and Ye Ruoyi chatted in the pavilion.
Ye Ruoyi felt that she and the King of Shu had hit it off at first sight. This feeling was like a good friend that she had not seen for many years. When they met again, they could confide in each other.
Li Ke's impression of Ye Ruoyi was that she was full of spiritual energy. After all, Ye Ruoyi cultivated Daoist techniques and sword techniques. Her master was Master Qi Tian and was famous. Her father was also Great General Ye Ying.
In the blink of an eye, clouds covered the moon.
It was late at night, and the cold wind was blowing.
"Miss Ruoyi, it's getting late.”
Li Ke turned around and bid farewell to Ye Ruoyi. Under the moonlight, Ye Ruoyi looked at Li Ke's back and felt a little reluctant to part with him.
Everything seemed to be in a dream.
Now, the dream was shattered and she was awake.
Ye Ruoyi returned to her room and could not fall asleep for a long time. Li Ke's figure was still lingering in her mind.
The next day.
The sun was shining brightly.
Ye Ying was standing in the yard.”
Great General Ye Ying was as tall as a black tower. Ordinary people standing in front of him were only half his height.
Ye Ying was preparing to return to Chang 'an. He had received a letter from the flying eagle yesterday. His Majesty was probably going to fight with the 32 Buddhist Kingdoms in the Western Region. He had to return as soon as possible.
If he returned late, it would be a huge loss if he was not there for the battle.
He didn't want to be like Wang Tie, guarding Zhao Yu for ten years.
Ye Ruoyi walked out of her room, her eyes slightly red. Although Ye Ying was burly, he was very careful."Daughter, what's wrong with you?"
"You look like you're out of your mind?"
Ye Ying and Ye Ruoyi entered the main hall in the front yard. Ye Ying looked at his daughter, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"What's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Father, what kind of person is the King of Shu?”
"Shu King Li Ke? Why are you suddenly asking about the King of Shu?"
"Father, I just want to understand him.”
"The King of Shu is bound by fate, by the imperial power, by the five surnames and seven Wangs, and by reason…He is a genius, but he has no place to show his talents.”
"Hasn't the King of Shu already become the Governor of Yizhou?”
"It's just a title with no real power…Moreover, the King of Shu is besieged on all sides…"
Ye Ying told him about Li Ke's current situation.
Ye Ruoyi's heart ached when she heard that.
His Highness the King of Shu was really struggling.
Ye Ruoyi seemed to see the King of Shu carrying a heavy load forward. She seemed to see the King of Shu carrying a mountain on his back. He was suffocating from the pressure, but he was still carrying the mountain.
"Daughter, why are you suddenly asking about the King of Shu?" Ye Ying asked curiously.”
"Yesterday, I saw His Highness the King of Shu at the Cold Moon Pavilion. We chatted for a long time there.”
"Chatted for a long time?"
This sentence was deeply engraved in Ye Ying's heart.
"I'm going back to Chang 'an. Three months later, you'll go back to Chang' an as well.”
Ye Ying left his daughter's courtyard. Just as he was about to leave the courtyard, he suddenly stopped and turned around to ask,""Yesterday, you and His Highness the King of Shu were in the pavilion. Did anyone else see you?”
Ye Ruoyi had already sent him out. She shook her head when she heard her father's words."I don't think so."
……
He couldn't hold on anymore.
There were no flowers, nothing.
