Chapter 1036: Chapter 26: The Taiping Army’s Great Aspiration, Qilin and Long Wind “So he abandoned this bow and treasure armor, wearing only cloth clothes and carrying a wooden bow as he left the city.” “Before leaving, he shot three arrows at the city gate, as a Buddhist saying goes, ‘Three lives’ fate ends.’ “Miss knew about these past events, and personally spent months painstakingly searching for this bow, entrusted us to send this bow here, saying that ‘the person who ties the bell must untie it,’ since Wang Shunchen’s departure began from here, this bow must be very important to him.” Li Guanyi calculated the time and said: “At that time we hadn’t yet connected with the Xue Family, and you had already set off?” Xue Shanguo replied: “Miss said, the Western Regions are calm, but if suddenly someone emerges unexpectedly, that person must be you, young master. She also said if the Western Regions change, a Martial World power like Daqi Village might find it hard to stay out of it, so she told me to come here swiftly.” Li Guanyi was speechless. He looked down at this bow and said calmly: “I just happen to need this thing.” Xue Shanguo said: “There is another thing here.” He took out a box from his bosom and handed it to Li Guanyi. When Li Guanyi opened it, inside was a golden sight. Xue Shanguo softly said: “Miss said, as a new city in the Western Regions is established and everything needs revitalization, it’s the time where silver coins are needed. Although the Central Plains are in constant turmoil, in the large cities, the aristocrats’ lives are becoming increasingly luxurious, spending money like dirt.” “It has always been so since ancient times, the more the flames of war blaze, the more indulgent and extravagant it becomes.” “In that case, use these extravagant indulgences of the luxurious people to support your aspirations, young master. In this way, these luxurious people are contributing their part to the peace of the world.” “Miss says she has no martial abilities, cannot fight alongside you.” “But Miss also said.” “The words spoken at the Academy were not false.” Li Guanyi, holding this Divine Bow and box, felt that the weight of the golden pearls inside seemed even heavier than usual, making him find it somewhat burdensome, yet he only said: “—Good.” Li Guanyi arranged for Xue Shanguo to rest. He then handed over these gold and silver to Breaking Army and others for use. He then carried the war bow, which Wang Shunchen was most obsessed with, leading over ten thousand cavalry toward Daqi Village. At this moment, feeling quite triumphant, leading troops and the Qie Xue Army’s Qiang noble scion, not knowing that a force twice their number was approaching. The faint sound of a pen falling on white paper as a young girl quietly wrote letter after letter, her face bearing a thoughtful expression as she contemplated the overall situation of the world and the secrets from all sides of the Martial World, all converging here. In fact, more than ninety percent of it was miscellaneous and useless. But what she needed to do was, amidst the over ninety percent of trivialities, to find that sliver of useful opportunity. This was indeed a task that consumed both time and effort. Xue Shuangtao’s face has thinned a bit. Simplicity by three points. She got up and raised her eyes, looking into the distance, unsure if Li Guanyi had received the bow she had previously sent out. Such news wasn’t something she could know from the files—when she was at the Academy, Li Guanyi entrusted her with the detoxification medicine meant for General Yue before his departure. The young girl personally traveled thousands of miles, crossing the Northern Domain Heroic Pass. Then, after much peril, thankfully with Chen Qingyan and Chen Chengbi beside her, she finally arrived among the Taiping Army and found Yue Qianfeng, who knew of Xue Shuangtao. Thus she met Yue Pengwu, personally delivering the detoxification medicine to General Yue. General Yue, of staunch and frigid character, swallowed the medicine at once. At first, the medicine’s strong effects made General Yue’s complexion suddenly change, almost causing him to vomit blood in pain, startling the surrounding soldiers, who grabbed their weapons and surrounded the young girl closely, weapons almost touching her. Xue Shuangtao remained unfazed, only waiting, pulling out a dagger and placing it on her neck to intimidate those around her, saying, “If General Yue dies because of this medicine, then Xue Shuangtao will commit suicide to atone.” Everyone was shocked and waited. That day, General Yue was unconscious. He only awakened the following night, spitting out much black blood, yet thus his spirit was restored, and the heart, which had been gradually petrifying, actually began to recover, and his Primordial Spirit drove the poison, martial prowess starting to restore. He could already practice martial arts, and only then did the generals feel sincerely convinced, all expressing gratitude. The young girl, at that time only dressed in a skirt, with hands folded at her abdomen, her voice cool and tranquil: “It is good that General Yue is unharmed.” Only upon her return did her hands tremble violently, clinging to her chest, somewhat short of breath, yet still afraid. The generals, knowing of this, all came to meet her, Xue Shuangtao receiving them with grace and decorum. Raising her hand, she exchanged ten thousand pearls for gold to present to all the soldiers and officers. Everyone had a share. The soldiers and officers were all joyous, respecting and honoring her greatly. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net Thus, after all this, she learned from General Yue, as well as from Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong, about the past of this Divine Shooter General. The one posing as the Young Master of Taiping Duke seemed to have never seen such a dignifiedly beautiful girl, feeling deeply moved and wanted to propose marriage. Yue Pengwu overturned the table on the spot, almost unsheathing his sword to slay the vile creature then and there. He was stopped by Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong. Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong personally punished the person harshly. The three generals treated her as they would the wife of a marshal. In the Northern Domain Taiping Army, from the lowliest soldier to the bannerman Yan Xuanji, the spear bearer Yue Qianfeng, and even the old three generals of Taiping Duke, all deeply respected her, treating this beautiful young girl as though she were the wife of their Young Master.
