"Bang... Bang..."
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck as if countless sharp swords pierced through the heart! In an instant, the blood in the whole body seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, crazily pouring into the thorns, and quickly gathering at a young seedling in the Soul Sea.
This young seedling is made entirely of bronze, its surface covered with dense and intricate patterns, shaped like the meridians of the human body, exuding vigorous vitality, like the boundless and endless vast starry sky.
Although at this moment Mei Ziling had only regained a little consciousness, the pain of his body being torn apart was keenly felt, as if suffering the agony of a thousand needles piercing his heart, teetering on the edge of pain and death.
Yet just as Mei Ziling was about to collapse, that mysterious sapling continued to inject vitality into him, bringing forth new life. This torturous cycle of life and death seemed to have repeated countless times.
When Mei Ziling finally woke up, the huge thorns cocoon that had enveloped his body had quietly receded into his body, tightly enclosing the sapling within.
"Thank goodness, Brother Ziling, you're okay," Liu Jingzhi said as he sat on the ground, covered in dust, panting heavily, and his hands dripping with blood. Just now, he had watched Mei Ziling being swallowed by a huge cocoon, and in his desperation, he had torn open a hole with his bare hands.
"Thank you, Jingzhi, for risking your life to save me. You are not a practitioner, and this injury may take a long time to heal," Mei Ziling replied.
"No problem, it's just a minor injury. The commotion earlier was too much. It's not safe to stay here for long. We should leave quickly."
The two of them wasted no time and quickly left...
Recruitment Office...
This time, Mei Ziling also felt uneasy about the accident, unable to judge whether it was a blessing or a curse in a moment. However, he couldn't afford to think too much at the moment. One hundred thousand light armor had already returned to camp. As a prefect, it would be difficult to control the situation without employing some political strategies.
Inside the council chamber, the atmosphere was particularly heavy, with three people anxiously waiting for Mei Ziling to arrive, but the commander's seat remained empty, and his figure was nowhere to be seen. The Grand Marshal Guo Wei couldn't contain his impatience and stood up, preparing to leave.
At that moment, Mei Ziling appeared with the support of Ms.Mei. He pretended to be weak and sickly, slowly walking over as if he didn't care about the three people in front of him.
Guo Wei showed a displeased expression and said directly, "Prefect, the main hall for discussions is not a place for women. Although the Lord is no longer here, rules still need to be followed."
Mei Ziling ignored this and turned to the other two people, asking, "Yang Leader, Leader Wang, do you also think the same?"
The two leaders, Yang and Wang, looked at each other and replied respectfully, "Reporting to Prefect, we share the same view as the Grand Leader. We hope Prefect understands the Grand Leader's intentions."
Upon hearing this, Mei Ziling furrowed her brows slightly and spoke with a hint of coldness, "Oh? I was not aware of such a rule in the prefecture. Since we are discussing matters, why not speak up and tell me what is being discussed?"
Guo Wei said, "Prefect, the three of us have discussed and decided to pass on the leadership position to the younger generation for their experience. We old folks will step back and assist them. After all, time waits for no one, and we should give the young people some opportunities. We hope that Prefect can understand our intentions. What do you think?"
"The great leader Guo has good intentions. I wonder whom the three of you plan to recommend to take over the leadership. Please provide a list so that I can make promotions in the future."
"This little matter is not a bother for Prefect. We have already chosen the person, so we just need Prefect to review it."
"Mei Ziling sneered coldly, a chill in the air, 'Since you have already chosen the person, what is there to discuss with this office?'"
"Prefect is young and promising, avenging his father's grudge. We have all seen it, but Prefect is still young, with both thoughtful and thoughtless actions. It is our duty as subordinates to share Prefect's worries."
"General Guo, let this be a reminder from this office: I, as the Lord of the Fu Sang kingdom, have been granted the title of first-rank noble. You are my vassals, not subordinates. Considering your advanced age and the years of guarding the border without any merit but with toil, we shall let this matter rest. This office will consider it as if it never happened."
The three individuals were shocked and turned pale, kneeling down with a thud. Their previous arrogance vanished, replaced by deep fear. "Prefect, please calm down. We were speaking nonsense just now. We hope Prefect will forgive us for the sake of the Marquis."
"The light armor belongs to my Recruitment Office, to my stepfather, to this office. What does it have to do with you? Do you three want to get closer to my throne?"
"Prefect Mingjian, we absolutely dare not have such intentions." At this moment, the three of them were completely scared out of their wits, with no trace of arrogance or composure left.
" Ms.Mei, how is His Highness's injury?"
"It's just a flesh wound, nothing serious. With you gentlemen escorting, Prefect can rest assured in managing the Recruitment Office."
"They left just like that, without even staying for dinner. We part ways now, not knowing when we will meet again."
Hearing this, Guo Wei and the other two exchanged a glance, and a murderous intent quietly emerged. Clang! Guo Wei shouted, and the three of them attacked at the same time, their feet suddenly cracking the ground. "Ignorant children, prepare to die."
Mei Ziling sneered, and with a flick of her pen, three drops of ink splashed out. With a movement of her soul and wrapped in true breath, they accurately pierced through the eyebrows. Guo Wei and the others' pupils dilated, and in an instant, they were killed, not even having the chance to scream.
Ms.Mei Finally let go of the hanging heart, took a deep breath.
"To fantasize about things that don't belong to oneself is a sin." Mei Ziling said coldly.
Mr. Ziling, they have been in charge of the light armor for many years, and their power is deeply rooted. It's difficult to convince people if they die in such a mysterious way. If we are not careful, it's not impossible to incite a rebellion.
" Ms.Mei Don't worry, the rebellion started when they entered here, and it will end with their deaths. Light armor has only one name, while there can be many leaders." Soon, someone will come. They may be loyal to the Recruitment Office, or they may be as clever as the three of them.
As soon as the words fell, there was a clash of swords, axes, and spears outside the door, and the sound of arrows piercing the air rang out intermittently.
Three quarters of an hour later, the bodies and bloodstains outside had been completely cleaned up, as if nothing had ever happened. On both sides of the ascending stone steps, soldiers wearing silver armor stood in a solemn and vigilant manner.
Three people in golden armor, each holding a blood-stained cloth bag, knelt in front of the door. "We, Tang Shuyu, Zong Jin, and Hua Zhen, have come to rescue you, Prefect, but we are late. We hope for your forgiveness."
"Come in," Mei Ziling looked up and saw that among the three was a woman, dressed in sturdy armor that shimmered in the light. The armor fit her graceful figure perfectly, with smooth lines as if it were tailored for her. Her eyes were as cold and piercing as stars, exuding determination and courage. It was a kind of resolute gaze forged through the trials of war, as if it could penetrate the souls of her enemies.
"We pay our respects to Prefect and the lady."
"Hua Zhen, what is your relationship with Qingyan?" Mei Ziling asked curiously, staring at the woman in front of him as if his eyes were torches.
"In response, Prefect, Qingyan is my junior kinsman. Before he left, he specifically entrusted me that if you encounter any difficulties, I must spare no effort to help at all costs. These three heads are the leaders of the rebel army. Please take a look, Prefect," Hua Zhen replied.
Mei Ziling looked at Hua Zhen with great interest. Throughout the exchange, his gaze never left her, even completely ignoring Tang Shuyu and Zong Jin on the side.
Hua Zhen felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and couldn't help but speak up: "Prefect, if you keep staring at me like this, I'm afraid I'll lose my manners."
Upon hearing this, Meizi finally came to her senses and realized that her behavior was inappropriate. She cleared her throat and said with a smile, "This time, the three of you have made outstanding contributions. The prefecture has decided that from today, you will join the military academy and shoulder the responsibility of leading together."
Tang Shuyu showed a happy expression, but Hua Zhen showed no change in her demeanor, as if it was of no importance to her.
At this time, Hua Zhen asked, "Since Prefect has reactivated the Dianbing Pavilion, I wonder who will take on the role of the pavilion master?"
The local government has already selected a candidate, and the pavilion master will be temporarily assumed by Madam temporarily. Hua will lead as the deputy pavilion master, responsible for assisting Madam and leading the entire army. Pavilion members Tang Shuyu and Zong Jin will organize the troops and depart for City of the Setting Sun with the main army in three days."
"Understood! We, Tang Shuyu and Zong Jin, take our leave." The two responded in unison, then turned and left.
Prefect, in this internal strife, only 30% of the 100,000 light armor troops are left. Is it appropriate to rely solely on the two of them to guard the City of the Setting Sun?
"It's better to have quality than quantity, and it's better to have brave soldiers than a large number." Ten thousand troops under each of their commands are sufficient. The remaining 8,000 will be stationed at the Recruitment Office. The government does not want a repeat of the tragedy at the Recruitment Office.
Since Prefect is confident, I will not say more. If there are no other matters, I will take my leave. With that, the speaker turned and left without looking back.
Mei Ziling
Mei Ziling smiled slightly and nodded lightly, this little lass is quite in tune with my temperament, having her watch over it, even if I'm not around, the Recruitment Office would dare not to slight it easily.
Mr. Ziling left Hua alone at the Recruitment Office, was he truly just appreciative? In my opinion, there must be another deeper intention behind his actions.
Appreciation is true, liking is also true, since that night I spent with the Ms.Mei under the spring breeze, I felt as if I had pushed open a door leading to a whole new world, and couldn't help but exclaim at the wonders of this world.
Upon hearing this, I saw the Ms.Mei with her delicate and shy face, as charming as the evening glow on the horizon. Her deep and pitch-black eyes were like a bewitching spell, filled with anticipation and shyness.
Just then, Hua Zhen suddenly turned back and entered the room, presenting such a vivid and fragrant scene that left her momentarily stunned and at a loss. However, she quickly realized that she had intruded into someone else's forbidden territory at an inappropriate time.
*Breathing heavily*
Hua Zhen She breathed lightly and quickly closed the door. However, the passionate scene just now was deeply imprinted in her mind, causing a blush to instantly appear on her pretty face. She subconsciously touched her waist and then realized that her sword had actually been left in the room.
