465 Red King enters battle map 2
Before the gates of the border city, a group of people slowly descended through the wide city gates. Wes, who had been waiting, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency and Madam."
Jingzhai nodded gently, clearly already quite comfortable with her current role. She explained the situation of Granny Hong and Elder Hua to everyone, and then instructed that accommodations be arranged for Elder Hua.
Elder Hua nodded gently and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for guarding Weicheng."
Wes returned the greeting, saying, "Mr. Hua, please feel free to give any instructions. I'll arrange for you to stay temporarily, and you can choose a suitable place after you've rested."
Jingzhai nodded gently and whispered to Granny Hong, "Granny Hong, would you mind if I arranged for you to stay near me?"
Grandma Hong gently shook her head and said with a smile, "It's much more convenient here. We'll wait for Elder Hua to make the arrangements, then stay near him for mutual support."
Jingzhai nodded gently and said softly, "No rush, Granny Hong can rest for a while first."
After settling the group into a small courtyard for the time being, Jingzhai looked at Huayun and Huazhi, touched Huazhi's hair, and said gently with concern, "Zhi'er and Yun'er, do you want to go to primary school? This is the primary school run by Sister Yunsu, and all children can go for free."
There are many people inside who are around your age. If you want to go, give it a try.
Upon hearing this, Hua Zhi and Hua Yun looked at each other with curiosity and wonder, then glanced at their grandfather, and hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
A horse-drawn carriage bearing the character 'He' skillfully arrived. Old Man Weng, dressed in a dark cotton-padded coat and cloth shoes, with a ruddy complexion, stepped forward.
Upon seeing Jingzhai, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency and Madam."
After getting acquainted with Elder Hua and Granny Hong, He Chen and Jingzhai quietly left in their carriage.
After Elder Weng and Wei Si had settled everyone's accommodations, Elder Weng said softly, "Elder Hong, Elder Hua, and my two young friends, once you've all rested, I'll show you around the city properly."
Please let us know if you need any supplies or assistance.
The carriage was moving very fast. Jingzhai leaned against it quietly and said in a low voice, "Chen Lang, I want to withdraw the Demon Slayer Division back to its strongholds in the county, and only retain the prefectural government and the secret strongholds."
We can only eliminate demons and slay monsters. For ordinary governance, the constables are the main force; if the constables are involved in collusion or other illegal activities, we will have secret guards investigating everywhere.
He nodded slightly, understanding Jingzhai's thoughts. The elite troops route could slay demons and monsters, but it couldn't prevent things from happening all the time.
Prevention is better than cure, which is a good idea, but it requires too much: strong soldiers, strong officials, and responsible people. What we need most is a peaceful and stable environment.
She gently wrapped her arms around his waist, her fingers clenched tightly, and whispered comfortingly, "That's for the best."
Upon receiving her lover's affirmative reply, her face flushed slightly, and her smile became like that of a child. In a moment of joy, she turned and hugged him, pressing her cheek against his.
He whispered, "Thank you. I've decided to send an envoy to find talented individuals. They can recommend one or two with decent abilities to train."
With the Emperor's brother missing, the Demon Slayer Bureau's funds were cut off, and without the Emperor's brother to restrain them, all sorts of demons and monsters started to emerge from within.
The same applies to letting them leave this time. Although the Demon Slayer Division is dangerous, the rewards are plentiful. It's laughable that my third uncle dared to cut off the Demon Slayer Division's financial supply.
It wasn't his decision alone; I really didn't intend to subsidize all of this myself. So I decided to just do what I wanted.
I nodded slightly, without answering. Too much talk would only cause trouble. The world is too big; I should take care of my own little plot of land first.
When her lover didn't react, she felt the hand on her waist gently slide down.
I murmured softly, leaned back quietly, and enjoyed this peaceful moment.
The carriage chugged along, calling out, "Soy milk pudding, sweet soy milk pudding, savory soy milk pudding, all hot, come and have a taste!"
"Freshly arrived wild boar meat, look how fresh it is, only fifteen, only fifteen!"
The sounds of hawking and bargaining drifted from all around the carriage.
Upon arriving at the new residence, Jingzhai looked around carefully and whispered, "Are all the sisters here?"
Nod slightly.
Butler Jin had been waiting quietly, bowing respectfully, "Welcome back, Your Excellency, and Madam."
Jingzhai nodded gently. In the courtyard, Piaomiaoyue had already come upon hearing the sound. Looking at Jingzhai, who was dressed in loose clothing, she chuckled softly, pulled Jingzhai inside, and began to talk in hushed tones.
In the inner courtyard, Ji Xixi, dressed in a pink dress, leaned against a peach tree. The tree was full of peach blossoms, which seemed to last all year round, with lovely deep red and light red hues.
A gentle breeze, sunshine, people and peach blossoms, people among the flowers, people among the flowers, pink petals swaying gently in the breeze, pink beauties, as beautiful as angels, seem to be one with nature, forgetting themselves and the world.
Their breathing was even, as if they were asleep. The two of them slowed their pace and waited quietly at the door.
A hint of envy lingered in her eyes, along with anticipation. In a moment of fascination, she suddenly felt herself standing on a path lined with peach blossoms.
When the mind and body are in harmony, and the self and the world are forgotten, there is only innocent and pure appreciation. Watching the flowers bloom and fade, it is as if nature is introducing itself in its simple way.
The flourishing and withering of plants, the blooming and withering of flowers and leaves, the flowing water under small bridges, the swallows flying south and returning, the wild geese coming and going every year, the cycle of life repeats itself, all within the world, only unwilling to perish and die out.
At this moment, the beauties are all immersed in their own worlds, forgetting themselves, becoming one with heaven and earth, their souls elevated, their hearts...
Soar freely.
Constrained by emotions and preconceived notions, at this moment, one seems to follow the rules of nature, imposing constraints, etiquette and humility, emptying the mind, merging with heaven and earth, with only fluttering flowers and the changing seasons before one's eyes.
After a cup of tea in the stillness of the meditation hall, she slowly awoke, her eyes seemingly crystal clear, untouched by any dust. The person leaning against her emptied her mind, slowly becoming weak, allowing the person behind her to gently catch her and hold her tight.
As I immersed myself in the ethereal moonlight, it felt as if I were in a warm spring, transformed into a peach tree, its blossoms beginning to bloom, their petals soft as silk, vibrant in color, conveying the breath of spring and the vitality of life.
Flowers blooming is beautiful, flowers falling is beautiful; it's the cycle of life, the passage of time. I don't know how much time has passed, nor how long I've waited, watching time flow by, my eyes only seeing flowers bloom and fall.
The brevity and impermanence of life are vividly portrayed in our lives.
Like butterflies fluttering in the sky, or flowers withering, it evokes a sense of understanding and appreciation of life. Tears well up in my eyes, and a new life force slowly emerges in my hands. It seems both real and unreal, neither truly real nor unreal, utterly mysterious.
Looking at the two people who were quietly asleep, time seemed to stand still.
Inside the Supreme Palace, the disciples, mostly dressed in white Taoist robes, sat quietly on the spacious stone ground in front of the main hall, awaiting Elder Zhengqing and the sect leader. Their expressions were calm, without the slightest hint of anxiety.
The two walked one after the other. The former had a kind and upright expression and walked slowly forward, step by step, his eyes revealing a kind of insight into the world.
