Chapter 159: The Rainbow of the Twelve Years of Nanqing (I)

It was raining in Southern Qing’s Kyoto and snowing in Northern Qi’s Nanjing, the light snow drifted gracefully and slowly in the air, overflowing the cold air between heaven and earth, yet still allowing the temperature to drop to a level that was very distasteful to humans.

On top of the majestic walls of Nanjing City, Uesugi Break, the general of the Nanjing Commanding Division in charge of the southern defense line of Northern Qi, looked at the plains towards the southwest with an indifferent expression on his face. There was no snow on the plain, and the black fertile soil that was hibernating in winter could still be seen, and his gaze fell through the layers of snow and wind to that South Qing military camp that had stretched out for untold decades with a solemn aura.

The place where the flag is hunting, the camp is continuous, endless black, silent resting in the snow and wind, like a beast that is temporarily resting, at any time may pounce on Nanjing City!

South Qing Yanjing battalion and the northern battalion of the two major border troops to attack in full force, in these days, one after another broke through the three lines of defense laid down by the North Qi army, with the momentum of a prairie fire straight to the north, all the way I do not know how many North Qi warriors killed, and now has arrived at the Nanjing defense line ahead of the twenty miles, is a little rest.

It seems that the bloodiest and cruelest siege battle between the two great powers in the world will soon break out under Nanjing. Uesugi Break couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, his palm gently caressing the sheath of his sword beside him, looking at the subordinates around him who were walking around as fast as ants, preparing the defense ordnance in the freezing cold weather, feeling the tense and panicky atmosphere that filled the city, he couldn’t help but sigh.

More than 100,000 Qing army iron cavalry has already pressed to cover and arrive, oneself underneath this Daqi southern No. 1 key town, and how long can block it?

Uesugi broke shook his head, issued several military orders to his subordinate officers one after another, then turned around and went down the city wall, came to the frontline tent temporarily placed under the city wall.

This tent was very remote and quiet, and the outside was guarded by his personal soldiers, so there was no danger of anyone being able to get close to it. As soon as he entered the tent, Uesugi Broke looked at the man inside the tent who was wearing a commoner’s clothes but was not angry and powerful, simply kneeled down on one knee and said in a deep voice: “Righteous father, it looks like Wang Zhikun was scared by the ambush of the vertical cuts in the last few days, and he shouldn’t launch an attack on the city within three days.”

The whole world thought that Northern Qi’s military pillar, the most scorned Marshal Uesugi Tiger, should still be immersed in the Song state city between the waist and belly of the Qing army, however, who would have thought that, at the time when the Nanjing battle was about to break out, this world’s male generals, was single and unknowingly came to Nanjing city!

Uesugi tiger that pair of black silkworm eyebrow slightly shaking a trace, a moment later said in a deep voice: “Wang Zhikun line of troops although conservative, but definitely not a timid person, or how would the Qing Emperor let him lead the troops of Yanjing for more than ten years …… These days those harassment, looks like our army took advantage of, in fact, this person is like a Turtle like, not at all by you to lure out what soldiers.”

Uesugi broken listening to the righteous father buzzing voice echoed in the tent, looking at the righteous father’s eyes naturally flowed a trace of admiration, the righteous father secretly back to Nanjing has been some time, naturally want to prepare to meet the immediate arrival of this great war, if not the righteous father secretly transport troops as God, borrowing three defense line, vertical and horizontal cutting, it is impossible to let the South Qing iron horsemen to today to kill the city of Nanjing underneath.

“Wang Zhikun is really shameless to the extreme, obviously they have the superiority of the troops, and the momentum is flourishing …… but they are biased on the plains to put up a posture of defending the city.” When Uesugi Broke thought of this, he could not help but curse angrily.

“Do not seek credit, but no fault, Wang Zhikun s awesome is here …… Nanqing ah.” Uesugi Hu suddenly retracted his gaze from the map, looked beyond the tent and sighed: “Many soldiers and generals, the truth is not I deceive.”

This Northern Qi generation of famous general’s face suddenly appeared a trace of fatigue, he returned to Nanjing from the Song state state city, because he really do not rest assured that the defense of this place, once the Qing iron cavalry really broke through the Nanjing defense line, the Northern Qi court’s central abdomen will be directly facing the fire of the war coming from the south, the court must be born in chaos.

Uesugi tiger and so on if you cast a diversion, the South Qing iron horsemen still think he still stay in Song state city, only fear to the extreme, but he is secretly in Nanjing host this line of defense, only a Uesugi tiger, but with this method, can play beyond the role of a Uesugi tiger.

Just the face of the Qing dynasty military discipline, excellent armament, combat effectiveness is exceptionally strong more than 100,000 troops, Uesugi tiger again how to use the army as God, can not feel easy, especially this time is not a field battle, but between the two big countries in the Nanjing line of defense of the frontal collision, fight to the end, fighting is still the national strength and momentum.

Uesugi tiger is not afraid of Wang Zhikun, he knows too much about this southern counterpart, so not afraid. These years he presided over the southern military of Northern Qi, has been betting his eyes on the imperial palace in the distant southern Kyoto. He always thought that he understood the Qing Emperor’s military thinking, if the Southern Qing really want to carry out the Northern Expedition, according to the theory is to set the whole country’s strength of the full force of the North, at least three roads to gather the border army, in order to the unstoppable momentum, the strong advance.

However, outside of Nanjing, there are only two road border army, Qing Emperor’s vigor seems to be less powerful than he imagined. Uesugi Tiger’s eyes narrowed slightly with worry, secretly thinking, what exactly is that monarch in the south thinking? Could it be that there was some trickery that he had not seen? Will he still be able to defend this kingdom?

However, in front of the strong army of Nankei, Tiger Uesugi did not have the confidence to win the battle. He believed that he could stop the opponent’s northern expedition for a while, but for how long?

A kind of fatigue occupied Uesugi Tiger’s heart, he suddenly thought of the secret decree sent by his majesty the other day, and heard that Nanqing Fan Xian had already returned from the temple, and should have arrived in Kyoto by now. Could it be that the fate of Daqi rested on Emperor Qing’s illegitimate son? Would Fan Xian kill Emperor Qing? Can he kill Emperor Qing?

While Uesugi Tiger was watching the tents of the Qing army dozens of miles away from Nanking, within the tents of the Qing army, which stretched for more than ten miles in the wind and snow, the commander-in-chief, General Wang Zhikun, was also looking at the large city in the distance with a cold gaze. As long as the city is broken, the most powerful cavalry of the Qing army, can be killed into the heart of the North Qi key places, to that time the wind rolled, although still have to face the two lines of defense in front of the capital, but it must be better than the present to fight more.

Especially at this time to attack Nanjing, but to prevent behind the Song state state city of Uesugi tiger, Qing army’s offensive although stable, but less when the opening of the border in the magnificent momentum.

“When will Shi Fei arrive?” Wang Zhikun asked. Beside him, one of the generals did not think twice and directly answered, “The Great General should arrive after four days.”

Wang Zhikun nodded with some relief. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, His Majesty had already prepared all the strategies, although, like the Uesugi Tiger in Nanjing, Wang Zhikun sometimes felt that His Majesty’s vigor was not as good as it was back then, but his confidence in His Majesty had never weakened.

His Majesty wants to send Shi Fei to take over the northern camp side of the wild army, did not let Wang Zhikun have the slightest negative feeling, he does not care to let people steal the credit, and will not think that His Majesty is not trust themselves, because Shi Fei was originally his deputy general.

What’s more, nowadays the Northern Expedition is a war to unify the world, and no general dares to hope that with his own strength alone, he will be able to accomplish such great achievements.

Wang Zhikun occasionally thought, at least he is better than Ye Shuai, Ye Shuai status is now too honorable, can only issue orders in the Privy Council in Kyoto, but can not personally lead the troops like himself.

How many years have you been preparing? Wang Zhikun stood at the entrance of the tent, letting the snowflakes fall on top of his armor, squinting his eyes, looking at the great city of Nanjing in the distance, thinking that his own feet have actually stood on top of the territory of Northern Qi, and his heart suddenly gave birth to an infinite feeling of grandeur.

For His Majesty stationed in Yanjing for more than ten years, for today. The magnificent picture is right in front of us, life where there is no regret?

Suddenly, the pupils of Wang Zhikun’s eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and his body trembled slightly. Although it was freezing cold, there was no problem with the logistics of the Qing army, and there was no problem with the momentum, but there had always been an extremely strong uneasiness in his heart. Little Lord Fan has returned to Kyoto, will His Majesty be well?

Built on the mountain of the Beiqi Palace, there is a mountain stream on the mountain, the mountain stream flows along the mountain path to the bottom, converging into a clear pool, pool side of the masonry, the pool of clear water along the intentionally open a gap, towards the direction of the palace outside the flow.

Beiqi emperor was wearing a cloak, inside wearing dragon robe, eyebrows like a sword slightly raised, lips tightly pursed. He sat like this beside the gaping hole in the water pool, silent for a long time, not saying a word.

Haitang stood beside him with her back turned, her gaze following the clear water flowing out of the pool all the way to the beautiful palace beyond, the river that slowly walked within the winter Shangjing City.

Before the matter of the Great Eastern Mountain, Master Bitter Lotus had had a conversation with the Empress Dowager in this very pool of water, decided on certain things, drifted away, and finally returned disheveled, dying at the end of his life, having been defeated at the hands of Emperor Qing.

Now the court of Northern Qi is again facing the threat of that powerful monarch in the south, only this time the threat is more real and direct than the last time, countless iron horsemen of the Qing Kingdom have already set foot on the road of invading and felling the north, not knowing when they will kill their way into this ancient capital and set fire to this beautiful black and green imperial palace.

“I cannot place all my hopes on him.” The Emperor of Northern Qi’s sword brows flattened slightly, his face slightly pale as he slowly spoke, “Although I believe that there is an undying hatred between him and Emperor Qing, Emperor Qing is after all his own father, and I probably know a little bit more about Fan Xian, a person who is trespassing and naïve in his affections, than a lot of people do.”

“And the most crucial thing is that according to the words of the young master’s aunt, that blind master has simply turned into an idiot.” The Emperor of Northern Qi lowered his head and looked at his own face that was somewhat deformed in the water, suddenly feeling that the coldness of this heaven and earth had all turned into an unprecedented burden that pressed him to the point where he was about to run out of breath, and with a slight sense of disappointment, he said, “If that’s the case, who would have been able to kill that monarch in the palace of the Southern Qing?”

“Everyone knows the ambition of the Qing people, I have been preparing for it for so many years, however, when the battle came together, I realized that I still underestimated the toughness of the Qing army.” The Emperor of Northern Qi lifted his face, his eyes flashed a trace of perseverance, “But it is only two road side armies that can kill their way to the bottom of Nanking City, if the Emperor of Qing really raises his country to attack, it is Uesugi Tiger, I’m afraid that he will not be able to support it for too long.”

“If General Uesugi can’t support it, what is His Majesty going to do?” Haitang slowly turned around at this moment and calmly asked.

“Pour the strength of the nation into a battle with one of them.” Beiqi emperor slightly smiled and answered, not thinking at all, “This world is my world after all, then to jade broken, also to be broken in my hands, I have never admitted the idea of defeat.”

Haitang did not speak again, just quietly looking out of the palace, looking to the south, her hands gently closing her hands.

The territory controlled by Dong Yi City, the border between Song and Xiao Liang countries.

The land blown by the sea breeze, possessing warmer and more humid weather than Shangjing City and Kyoto, the trees in the mountains and fields still retained a rare green color, who could have known that crossing the mountain beams in front of them, traveling through the land of Song, crossing that small state city on the small side, would lead to a land of solemn snow?

That piece of snow and snow is exactly the South Qing sent troops of the original, after the collapse of the North Qi solid, countless people killed and perished in the place.

Lone army rebelled from the South Qing court, in the world of silence for more than a year in the Qing country’s eldest prince, at this time in the warm spring like mountains, gaze straight at the sky, imagining that piece of killing snow and wind.

Behind him were more than 10,000 loyal subordinates. There was a black line on the mountain side of the mountain field, and that was the four thousand black cavalry that Fan Xian had handed over to him, but Jing Ge was in command of these black cavalry, and didn’t seem to be very willing to listen to him.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Wang Thirteen Lang had returned to Dong Yi City and brought Jing Ge Fan Xian’s own military order.

The Grand Prince withdrew his gaze and glanced at Wang Thirteen Lang beside him, without the slightest emotional reaction on his heroic face. The army he was leading at the moment was small in number, but it was the strongest force that Dongyi City relied on, and if he joined the battlefield between the two countries at the moment, especially if he killed his way out of the Song state city that Uesugi Tiger had captured with his wonderful hands last year, he was afraid that it would bring about results that would shock the world.

However, Fan Xian did not ask or plead with him to do so, Fan Xian simply gave all of his power to his elder brother, and then through Wang Thirteen Lang’s mouth, told him his judgmental analysis of the situation in the world, and then never said anything again.

The Grand Prince lightly kicked his horse’s belly, and with a silent face, he led more than 10,000 elite soldiers towards the northwest. A few breaths later, the four thousand black cavalry above the mountains and fields also began to pull up with a permanent and unchanging aura of death and darkness.

The silent man on the horse knew very well why Fan Xian did not have any specific words for himself, for he was just like Fan Xian, they were after all Qings even though they all had Dongyi City blood, and the vast majority of these fourteen thousand powerful elite forces were also Qings.

Now that the Southern Qing were in the midst of their Northern Expedition, could it be that they, the Qing people, were going to betray the court and strike back? I’m only afraid that no one would be able to do such a thing. Although these people were all exiled characters and could not speak of any loyalty to His Majesty, but betraying the emperor and treason were ultimately two different concepts.

However, the direction of Dongyi City could not possibly stand by and watch Emperor Qing break up Northern Qi in one fell swoop, because if that happened, Dongyi City would naturally be the second target of the powerful Qing army. Nowadays, Dongyi City has nominally belonged to Daqing, but under the power of Fan Xian and the Grand Prince, the court of Southern Qing can’t control this place at all, and once there is a chance to move troops to really conquer it, I think that the court of Qing will not let go of this opportunity.

If it came to that, Dongyi City would naturally be destroyed, and the Grand Prince would only die. From the moment of Chen Pingping’s death, the Grand Prince had already prepared himself for this kind of thought, however, now that he knew that Fan Xian was preparing to do that thing in Kyoto, the Grand Prince’s heart still couldn’t help but be a bit gloomy.

Regardless of whether Fan Xian won or lost, his mood would be bleak because that man was his father, his mother was still in the palace of Qing, and his wives and concubines were still in Kyoto.

The Grand Prince slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of Kyoto, sighing for a moment, squinting his eyes slightly and remaining silent for a long time, not saying a word.

The world war has arisen, the Cultivation of the field has been paved, bones buried in the road, flesh and blood splattered in the wild, crows chirping in the sky in the wind and snow, endless murderous menace, shrouded the entire world, like a lingering shadow, covering all the people’s head in the sky.

In such a tense situation, there are many people’s eyes, including those fierce generals on the battlefield, the supreme emperor, and the lone rebellious son, in fact, they are all watching the Kyoto, because they know that the real victory or defeat, the trend of the world, is still in the Southern Qing Dynasty Kyoto, between the pair of fathers and sons, who are extraordinarily cruel and merciless to each other and to themselves.

Just as His Majesty the Emperor of Qing once said to Ye Wan, the life and death struggle between him and Fan Xian was the real point of the game. It was just that this bureau was not set up by human hands, but was a situation that was finally condensed from the creation and karma of the past few decades. In the process of condensation, His Majesty the Emperor himself, the dead woman, Chen Pingping in the fall rain, and even Fan Xian himself, all played a role in contributing to the situation, so that in the end, this bureau had become insoluble, and had become a dead end.

Only the sword can cut the knot, only life and death can free.

Being countless pairs of eyes watching the city of Kyoto, the people but can not feel too much frontline bloody flavor, and even at this time the forbidden palace of the shocking events also do not know, they are emotionally stable to live as usual days, in addition to the Tianhe Road fork of those who are crying non-stop.

Hu Daoshi in the Bachelor’s residence couldn’t hear these crying voices, but he knew what was happening in the palace within the first hour, it wasn’t the day of the great dynasty, and he still possessed enough eyeballs and layers to be able to tell, so he froze at once.

A year ago, all the officials of He Pai were killed by Fan Xian and the Supervisory Yuan, during this year, Hu Da Daoshi was in charge of the Zhongshu under the door as well as the three temples, three courts, and six ministries, and organized the court of Qing Dynasty into a well-organized manner, that is, when his majesty was seriously injured and could not look at the affairs of his majesty, this Daoshi was still calm and tranquil, and his face did not change while the east mountain fell before him, and he was very effective in maintaining the peace of Qing Dynasty.

However, when he learned of this news today, all of Dr. Hu’s calmness and serenity collapsed. He did not wear face cream today, so the wrinkles on his face appeared extraordinarily deep, and he stood in a daze in the garden of the Bachelor’s residence, looking extraordinarily old, praying to the heavens not to bring any misfortune to Great Qing.

Kyoto another poor square, a simple residential house, has been out of prison for a long time, the former Kyoto Prefect Sun Jingxiu, is his daughter Miss Sun Jia’s assistance, one side coughing and drinking medicine. In prison was tossed nearly dead, if not Fan House of several ladies secretly care, I’m afraid that the nature of the strict and upright Kyoto prefects have long been dead. However, today’s Sun family has long been defeated, in addition to the three generations of the family, the servants are gone, the aunts have also fled, the days are really a bit unbearable.

Sun knitted knit warm voice to comfort her father, but the heart is thinking, I’m afraid to go to the Fan House some other day, thanks to the county lady gave the medicine, but there is no clothes to wear, and thought, little Lord Fan is now in the end is dead or alive? A time can not help but some obsessed.

At this time in the Fan Mansion, Lin Wan’er is sitting in the flower hall with a heavy expression, Si Si is sitting behind her, one person is holding a child. She said to the big Fuji family’s daughter-in-law in front of her, “Escape is not necessary, just the subordinates in the house can be dispersed as far as possible.”

The Fuji family’s daughter-in-law vaguely guessed something, where willing to go. Lin Wan Er will not be forced, because the Fan family of these clansmen, is to go only want to go can not go clean, she just stared blankly at the Fan Liang in her arms.

Last night, Fan Ruoruo was urgently summoned to the palace, and recently there was no news of His Majesty’s ill health, Lin Wan’er immediately guessed something, especially from last night, has begun to pervade the Kyoto in the strange atmosphere, but also let her firm her confidence.

You’re still alive, why don’t you go home first? Even if uncle wants to kill you, you want to kill uncle, but …… but …… could it be that before, you refuse to let me see you one last time?

At the thought of this, sadness came, and a few tears hung down from her eyes, dripping onto Fan Liang’s puzzled and tender face.

While Lin Wan Er was helplessly and sadly worrying about Fan Xian’s life and death, Fan Ruo Ruo, who had been summoned to the palace last night, had managed to escape the guards of the inner court’s masters and disappeared into the heavy depths of the palace. Today’s palace was in such a mess that it was impossible to find her whereabouts for a while. It seemed that this girl family was not only successful in learning the art of Qing Shan, but the training that Five Bamboos had given her in the snowy night of Cangshan Mountain back then had also been far more successful than the teaching that had been given to Fan Xian in the first place.

At this time, she was wearing a courtesan’s clothes, but she was wearing an extremely moving feeling, her clothes slowly fluttering in the light rain, she slowly traveled in the direction of the Taiji Hall along the walls of the palace. Along the way, only saw the eunuchs and palace maidens who were frightened by the sound of killing, sneakily running towards the direction of the harem, who will still care who she is and what she came to do.

Then at a remote palace gate that was about to turn to the Taiji Hall, she saw the eunuch Hong Zhu, who seemed to have been waiting for her here for a long time. The two looked at each other calmly. Fan Ruo Ruo calmly looked at Hong Zhu, but in fact, her heart was turning over countless thoughts, because she was not at all sure why a few months ago, this justly popular eunuch-in-chief, would suddenly contact herself secretly.

Hongzhu rickety body left the palace door, he did not explain anything, because he originally thought that small Fan adults have already died, thinking forward and backward for a long time, his bones hidden that something, finally let him find the Fan family Miss, told the relationship between himself and Fan Xian, perhaps …… just the eunuch, unwilling to let himself keep the secrets with the Fan Xian, and lonely. Perhaps it was just that this eunuch was unwilling to allow himself to keep the secret of his relationship with Fan Xian, and instead waited alone in the deep palace.

Fan Ruo Ruo knew that her brother was still alive and had sneaked into the palace with the help of this eunuch. This fact made her joyful, yet immediately afterward the joy turned into deep worry, for she knew what her brother had entered the palace to do.

She walked over to the palace gates and walked over to a large copper tank that held water. Through the palace gate, listening to the haunting sounds of the imperial city not far away, the sounds of those braziers piercing through armor and piercing through bones, the look of worry on her brow grew heavier, knowing that even the Master had come today.

Then she looked through the gap of the palace gate, looking at the bright yellow figure in the distance in front of the main gate of the Taiji Hall, pursing her lips slightly, not knowing how long she had been silent, she finally made up her mind.

His Majesty the Emperor had his hands behind his back, and his hands were holding that side of the white silk slightly hard in his sleeves. Only he knows, the white silk is if a little peach blossom general blood stains. Coughing up blood, could it be that I really can’t make it?

Eunuch Yao had already been driven away by him, at this time he did not have a guard around him, standing before the rain curtain, he looked so lonely.

And in the light rain in front of him, an even lonelier figure slowly walked over.

Five Bamboos had finally arrived.

The light rain was still drizzling against the square of black cloth on his face. The iron brazier he held tightly in his hand was still dripping blood, and an overflowing scent of blood permeated from his soaked cloth.

I don’t know how many forbidden soldiers he had killed before Five Bamboos finally made his way from the orientation of the Imperial City, step by step. The brazier in his hand that usually seemed indestructible, after piercing through countless hard armor, after piercing through countless throats, the sharp tip of the brazier at this time had even been worn into a flat end, the brazier body bent up!

Five Bamboos was not a human, but he was not a god either, in the face of the earthly elite battle force’s forward and backward, all-encompassing attacks, he was still injured, especially on the path that was killed down from the Imperial City, the forbidden army officers and soldiers in heavy armor used their own bodies as boulders for checking the enemy, blocking his front, successfully stalling his footsteps and injuring his body.

The interception of the forbidden army could not be described as anything less than magnificent, but Five Bamboo still killed his way out!

It was just that the brazier in his hand was already ruined, his tightly bound black hair had long been scattered, the cloth shirt on his body had even more countless ragged holes, and one side of the robe under his waist was somehow burned into a piece of debris.

The most palpitating thing is, in the midst of the chaotic battle, the blind teenager’s leg seems to have been smashed by some kind of heavy shaped weapon, twisting to the side and back at an angle that is completely out of the ordinary, it looks like the bone has already been twisted and shattered into an alien shape, and it is simply impossible to walk!

But Five Bamboo was still walking, through the layer of black cloth that was about to fall off, he stared at Emperor Qing at his highness, using the deformed brazier in his hand as a crutch, dragging that already ruined left leg, walking in the rain with difficulty and stubbornness, all the time trying to walk in front of Emperor Qing.

The rain had long since become lighter, pattering down, but the water was still accumulating on the green stone slab in front of the Taiji Hall, and Five Bamboo’s twisted left leg was dragged through the rain, rubbing out an extremely horrible sound.

With every friction, the corners of Five Bamboo’s thin lips would twitch a little, and it was thought that he must be feeling pain as well, but he had already forgotten about the pain, and he simply walked step by step towards Emperor Qing in front of the hall.

Emperor Qing quietly looked at the five bamboo that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, “I finally confirmed that you are not a dead thing …… But where dead things are concerned, why do you have such a strong love and hate?”

Right at this moment, the palace door that had been closed suddenly opened wide, and Ye Chong, who was covered in sewage, rode on a horse, leading the remnants of the forbidden soldiers as well as his own relative’s cavalry, and rushed over in the direction of the Taiji Hall, with the sound of hooves like thunder, shaking the rain on the ground to make it quiver in a silky way.

However, in an instant, hundreds of Qing’s elite soldiers surrounded Five Bamboo once again, only that when they looked at the Five Bamboo who was surrounded by themselves, and at the person whose legs were already twisted, but who was still stubbornly standing, they didn’t have the slightest emotion of joy.

Especially at this moment, the more than ten Qing Temple ascetics who suddenly appeared beside His Majesty, those ascetics wearing hats and hats and possessing great strength, after they saw Five Bamboo, especially after they saw the color of the liquid that flowed out of the wounds on Five Bamboo’s body, they were even more pale and trembling.

The blood that flowed out of Five Bamboo’s body was also hot and red, yet it was a golden red color that faded away in the light rain, not too many people were able to notice it, but these ascetic monks wearing hats did.

All of the ascetics were struck by lightning at this moment, and fell to their knees amidst the rain, kneeling in front of Five Bamboo, who were originally Emperor Qing’s strongest personal defense force, yet at this moment, they had to submit to this lame, blind man.

When a messenger came to earth in person, how could mortals dare to disrespect him? Was this a divine punishment from the heavens for Great Qing?
