C234 Retreat from the Mountain Sea Kingdom the Pingyun Trial Finally Came to an End
"It doesn't matter who she is, but now is not the time for you to know. When the time comes, I will tell you. What you need to know now is that she will replace Head Protector as the second person in Hundred-face Pavilion. From now on, you can just call her the Shadow Emissary. "
"Yes, Yaner greets the Shadow Messenger. " After saying that, Yaner respectfully knelt down towards the Shadow Messenger.
"Get up. " The Shadow Messenger did not say much. It was just a few words. However, these three words made Yaner feel unusually cold and emotionless.
"Alright. Now we should leave. Yaner, go and gather all the people of Hundred-face Pavilion. We will leave Mountain Sea Kingdom immediately and return to Nanzhou. " Jia Tianwei stood up after saying that.
" Leave?! Master, are we leaving just like that? Doesn't Mountain Sea Kingdom care anymore? "
"Do I need to report to you about what I'm doing?" Jia Tianwei frowned and asked Yaner.
"I dare not. " After Yaner heard that, she immediately knelt on the ground and broke out in cold sweat.
"Get up and do what you should do properly. After so many years, you should know what should be asked and what should not be asked. "
"Yes. Then this subordinate will go and gather everyone. " After saying that, Yaner got up and walked down.
"Ying, you also go back and prepare. When we return, I will pass on some techniques to you. This way, your revenge will be smoother. "
"Yes, Ying obeys. " After saying that, Ying turned around and left. Only Jia Tianwei was left in the room.
"Mu Qingyun, it's because of you that we have failed repeatedly. But don't get complacent too early. The competition between the two of us has just begun. It's not certain who will laugh until the end. With Ying, you will die for sure. Hahahaha. " After saying that, Jia Tianwei started laughing evilly.
"Reporting to the Master, everyone has been gathered. We will set off once the Master gives the order. " Yaner walked in and said respectfully.
"En, then let's go. " After saying that, Jia Tianwei walked out and left Mountain Sea Kingdom with the people of Hundred-face Pavilion.
The rising sun rose again. Qing Yun got up early and set up the firewood pile. He then placed Xiner's corpse on the firewood pile. Not long later, Tianyu and the others also arrived. Sima Yuer held a torch and handed it to Qing Yun.
"Xiner, I never thought that we would be separated by Yin and Yang in such a way. I once promised you that my life is yours. I was prepared to wait for the rebellion to subside and for my revenge to be avenged. I will return my life to you, but I didn't expect you to leave before me. Even though you have always been hostile to me, I know that you don't want to become my enemy in your heart. Don't worry, you don't want to be enemies with Da Ming. I must find out the reason behind this. "
"Also, please forgive me for using this method to bring you back to Da Ming. Originally, I was supposed to bring you back to Da Ming in one piece. Unfortunately, it was currently summer, and the journey to the Shuntian Prefecture was also very far away. I am unable to prevent your body from rotting, so I can only use this method. But don't worry. I will definitely find a place with beautiful scenery for you to be buried, and I will often accompany you. I won't let you feel lonely. After all my matters are settled, I will go underground to accompany you. When the time comes, I'll bring you to my parents and let them see you, a beautiful and kind girl. " After saying that, Qing Yun threw the torch into the firewood. The fire quickly began to spread and in a short while, the flames had already surrounded Xiner. In a moment, it was extinguished by the fire.
After the fire was extinguished, Qing Yun put Xiner's ashes into the jar bit by bit so that the lid could cover it.
"Your Royal Highness, a dead person cannot be resurrected. I beg your Royal Highness to accept my condolences. " Yuer went forward to wipe away her tears and said.
"Don't worry. I am fine. Let's go and see that Mountain Sea King. We have stayed here for too long. The sooner we settle the matter here, the sooner we can return to Shuntian Prefecture and make plans for the next step. " After saying that, Qing Yun led the group to the front of the king of Mountain Sea Kingdom once again.
"How is it? Have you thought it through?" Qing Yun asked indifferently. Actually, everyone knew this answer very well. Now, asking was just a routine inquiry, so Qing Yun did not have too many questions. Furthermore, Xiner had just been cremated, so he did not have the mood to think about anything else, so he just directly asked.
"Hehe, since you can give me these two options, I think you should be able to guess the answer. I will choose the second option and promise you thirty thousand elite soldiers to move into Mountain Sea Kingdom. "
"Hehe, the Mountain Sea King's decision is a wise one. Since you have chosen this option, we will respect your decision. We will arrange for someone to send you back. However, there is one more thing I want to add to your story. After our thirty thousand elite soldiers have moved into Mountain Sea Kingdom, the task of guarding the Imperial City and the city wall will be given to our soldiers. As for your original soldiers, if you are willing to station them in other cities, then let them return home to rest for a period of time. After we leave, we can also protect the imperial city with more energy. I think you have no objections, Your Highness? " General Zhao saw that Qing Yun seemed to be absent-minded and had yet to recover from his grief. He took the words and said.
"Hehe, since I have already chosen the second path, I have already thought of this point. I will have to trouble General Zhao. " The king of Mountain Sea Kingdom bowed to General Zhao as he spoke.
"Mountain Sea King is too polite. It is really gratifying that you are able to turn the tide. Then, Your Highness, you should have a good rest. We will go and make arrangements now. In the afternoon, we will march to Mountain Sea Kingdom. This way, we can send you back to Mountain Sea Kingdom as soon as possible. " After saying that, everyone turned around and left.
General Zhao went to deploy his troops alone and prepared to move forward. Qing Yun asked Long Tian to gather all the Cloud Guardian. Tianyu and the others had nothing to do, so they followed behind Qing Yun.
"Loong Tian, after this battle, how many people are left in our Cloud Guardian?"
"Your Highness, there are a total of fifty-nine people going to Mountain Sea Kingdom this time. Ten of them didn't arrive at the designated location at the appointed time. There are also three people who died at Jia Tianwei's hands, so according to your Royal Highness and the Emperor's rules, there are only 46 people left. "
"These 46 people are all here?"
"Yes, Your Royal Highness, I have already gathered them here. And those ten people, as well as those who were previously injured, are also here. "
After hearing this, Qing Yun nodded his head, then turned around to look at the crowd: "You have already passed the trial. I hereby announce that. . . From now on, all 46 of you have officially become members of the Cloud Guardian, and have been promoted to Rank Three and Rank One Scribes. I hope that all of you will not be arrogant in the future. Joining the Cloud Guardian is just the beginning. From now on, your responsibilities will become bigger and bigger, and your missions will become more and more dangerous. I hope you will continue to work hard. As for those who haven't passed the test. . . When we return to Shuntian Prefecture, I will report to the Emperor that you are allowed to join Royal Guards. However, all of you must not be discouraged. As long as you all work hard, you might be able to join Cloud Guardian in the future. "
