Chapter 785 How did your young master’s old injury relapse?
Jiangnan has been a place of great natural beauty and has produced many talented people since ancient times.
It's just that the south of the Yangtze River was nearly hit by a flood this year, and before a top scholar or something like that could emerge, a half-immortal appeared out of nowhere, who was said to be able to see through the mysteries of heaven.
This demigod was said to be extremely powerful.
It is said that the half-immortal has great abilities and predicted long ago that a rare flood would befall the Jiangnan area, which would lead to the devastation of countless lives and the misery of the people.
God is merciful and has left a glimmer of hope for life. He specially sent his will through the mouth of the half-immortal, and issued an early warning through the mouth of the half-immortal, reminding the local people before the flood broke out.
In the words of Banxian, Xu Yu and others who led the troops to fight the flood and helped the people to survive the disaster, suddenly became the brave generals who saved the world in the land of true dragons.
A brave general faces troubled times and protects the people under the order of the true dragon.
The half-immortal was on the verge of death and was huddled in the bathtub to escape in a panic. He was dressed in white clothes and white hair, looking like an immortal. His calculations with his fingers were unfathomable, and his words were full of indescribable mystery.
"How do you think such a horrific flood from divine punishment could be stopped by human power?"
"Ancient sages have said that human power cannot compete with heaven, and heaven's will cannot be violated. If this is a punishment from heaven, why is the flood so powerful that it only causes a huge outburst without harming the people, and why did it quietly recede?"
"Is this man conquering nature?"
"No, neither."
The half-immortal shook his head mysteriously, looked up for a long time, and suddenly said, "This is the protection of the true dragon's spirit."
"If it weren't for the benevolent will of the True Dragon Emperor, how could Heaven's will be reversed?"
"The ruler of the world is the incarnation of a true dragon. The true dragon is the son of heaven. Only brave generals who follow the will of the true dragon can make the floods retreat and the people live in peace. This is the true secret of heaven!"
The half-immortal kept referring to the True Dragon, and someone nearby was startled. Thinking of Xu Yu, who had already revealed his identity, and the Lingnan army, they suddenly realized, "The General of the Cavalry is a fierce general who obeys the orders of the True Dragon, and the Lingnan army is a benevolent and righteous army. So the True Dragon that the half-immortal is talking about is... the King of Lingnan?!"
"Isn't it said that the King of Lingnan is a traitor? If the King of Lingnan is the true dragon emperor, then what is the emperor in Kyoto?"
"Are you going to die by shouting so loudly?!"
The timid ones kicked the person who spoke, but when they spoke themselves, they were all half-believing and half-doubting: "But I heard a long time ago that the Kyoto royal family did not come to power legitimately, and stole the throne of the true dragon."
"I just thought it was just a storyteller's nonsense, could it be true?"
"Well, I've heard that too!"
As the topic of the royal scandal that had been making the rounds not long ago began to spread, more people in the crowd began to whisper to each other, and the noise became more and more boisterous.
A benevolent and righteous army protects the people of a region, while corrupt officials and treacherous ministers who come to power unjustly will be punished by heaven.
If we continue to blindly follow the darkness, the way of heaven cannot be rectified...
…
Rumors like these are becoming more and more intense, and there are more and more different opinions.
When the legend of the real dragon, which had been spread in 180 different ways, reached Jiang Yubai's ears, it was already half a month after the flood in the south of the Yangtze River had passed.
Areas like Jiangnan are completely free from the danger of floods.
Although the process was extremely dangerous, even people thousands of miles away from Jiangnan were worried, but when they learned that they had gotten through it safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After the flood was over, the intentionally induced words of the true dragon refuted the theory of treason made in Kyoto in front of the people of the world, and once again created an unparalleled grand momentum for Lingnan.
Everyone was rejoicing with relief.
Only Jiang Yubai had an unpredictable look on his face.
The scholar carefully observed Jiang Yubai's expression and whispered, "General Huoqi encountered the danger of floods while traveling south this time, and he handled it perfectly."
"The crisis has been resolved, and the Jiangnan area is completely under control. Why is the young prince not so happy?"
Jiang Yubai threw away the secret letter from Xu Yu, put his hand on his forehead, closed his eyes and said, "I'm happy."
“I’m worried too.”
The scholar instantly understood what Jiang Yubai meant and said hesitantly, "Young Prince, are you worried about the injury of the Cavalry General?"
Xu Yu only reported good news and not bad news.
The news sent only talked about the situation in Jiangnan and other places, and did not mention himself at all.
But Xu Yu is not the only one who has connections in Nanyun.
According to a secret letter sent by Jiang Yubai's confidant, Xu Yu was already seriously injured in Chuzhou and had not recovered yet.
After going south, he was exhausted and had to resist the flood. Although he was still strong and decisive outside, his sick and haggard face could not be concealed.
If this continues, I'm afraid the General of Cavalry won't be able to bear it.
Jiang Yubai suppressed his irritation and rubbed his brows: "I know Xu Yu. He doesn't take any injuries seriously. As long as he's not dying, he'll just live."
"But humans are not plants or trees, how can this last forever..."
Jiang Yubai's throat rolled over and he said nothing more.
When the scholar saw this, the bloody and brazen scene of Xu Yu in Chuzhou flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Considering Die's immense military achievements, no reward would be too great when it comes to rewarding meritorious service.
However, no matter what the reward is, one must be a good person to receive it.
Xu Yu was young and in his prime, if anything went wrong with his body, then...
Jiang Yubai seemed to be extremely upset. He waved his hand to disperse everyone in the tent, leaving only Ling Chu who came to deliver the letter.
Ling Chu remained calm and silent, but when he noticed the changing expression on Jiang Yubai's face, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Jiang Yubai said without warning: "Is your young master short of help?"
Ling Chu paused, lowered his head, and replied, "To answer your question, young prince, there is generally no shortage at the moment."
"I suppose so."
Jiang Yubai rubbed his fingertips and said to himself, "When we were most in need of manpower during the flood, he pulled all of Yuancai's soldiers to work with us. He shouldn't be short of manpower now."
Ling Chu wasn't sure what Jiang Yubai meant by this, so she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Jiang Yubai sneered, "Since you have enough people to serve, why don't you send your own soldiers here, but instead ask you to come?"
"If I remember correctly, you seem to be my sister-in-law's man, right?"
Wasn't it clear enough that Xu Yu sent Sang Zhixia's people to deliver the message?
What it means is that he has enough to support his family, and he doesn't want to continue risking his life.
That bastard Xu Yu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it?!
Ling Chu felt a lump in his throat and didn't know how to respond.
Jiang Yubai grabbed the cup and clenched it tightly in his palm, gritting his teeth and saying, "Very good, very good."
"Now that word has spread that your young master's old injury has recurred, everyone in the world will know within three days that I, the invincible General of the Cavalry, am no longer able to fight."
"The purpose for which he sent you has been achieved. There is no one else around."
"Come, tell me, how did your young master's old injury relapse?"
"Is it the flood's fault, or was it Mr. Qi's help?"
"explain!"
Lingchu said nothing in the end, standing there like a piece of wood without making a sound.
Jiang Yubai was so angry that he sneered: "It's okay to be dumb."
"Before I left for the battle, the great sorcerer of Lingnan prepared a life-extending pill for me. It's said to have the power to bring back the dead. I'm heartbroken to see such a good general suffer. Bring the pill back with you and have Xu Yu take it."
Ling Chu silently said in his heart that the young master is truly a god. He swallowed his saliva and whispered, "When I came here, the young master told me not to accept such a magical medicine. Please take it back, little prince."
Jiang Yubai: "..."
Jiang Yubai bared his teeth and grinned: "Did he teach you that?"
Ling Chusheng nodded helplessly: "That's what the young master said."
"The young master said that when he saw the young prince, he should just tell the truth and there is no need to hide anything."
Jiang Yubai was once again so angry at Xu Yu's shamelessness that his breath was choked. After turning around three times, he said with strong resentment, "Okay, I knew this kid was not holding his fart well."
"Go back and tell him, I know, I know!"
"I know what he's planning. One less day to spread the word that he's a sickly person! He's not afraid of his words coming out as bad luck!"
Ling Chu turned around and was about to leave. Jiang Yubai could no longer bear it and whispered, "Go out and pick a military doctor to take back. Don't leave empty-handed!"
"I can't afford to lose this person!"
"Take your young master's words and get out of here!"
