035 Dismantle This Dog Kennel!
The sun rose from the east.
Da Yan Country’s forbidden palace of the imperial city stretched thousands of miles, of magnificent imposing sovereignty. Outside Xuan Wu Gate, an unprecedented and solemn ceremony of sending off the troops was being held. The Emperor was overlooking it. The spectacle was grandiose. The soldiers’ boisterous shouts made people’s blood burn in their veins. Even the beauty disguised as Young Commander Linghu Shui Yue didn’t dare have the mentality of a child. A kind of feeling of the wind whistling chillingly on the banks of Yi River, the strong man went and never came back was born.
An unprecedented and solemn ceremony of sending troops is being held, and the emperor is there to watch it. The scene is vast. The voices of the soldiers’ mountains are so exciting that even the red-haired makeup who sat on the horse immediately did not dare to have a little bit of a child’s mentality, a kind of strong man who was screaming and screaming.
Linghu Huo Ri who woke up from the drugs stamped his feet, with a face of despondency. It’s all his fault for pampering his little sister into the sky. What to do if this time spoils out a Buddha? How could marching and fighting in war be child’s play? The girl was too audacious! Looking like an unfledged man, she a girl sneaks in, how can Linghu Huo Ri not be terror-stricken? This this this…what should he do ah!?
While Linghu Huo Ri was running circles in panic, Xuan Wu Gate already finished the grand ceremony of sending off troops.
“Troops——March——” A sonorous voice raised an arm shouting. Sitting upon a lofty maned horse. Decked in gold helmet and golden armor, Zhu You Hong raised the sword in his hand, very striking just like a divine general descending from Heaven with prestige.
Linghu Shui Yue rode on a white steed on Zhu ninth lord’s right side in silver helmet and silver armor. Qi wang Zhu You Chen rode on ninth lord’s left in gold helmet and silver armor. The three rode in front of the thousands of troops, the stomping of hooves, the banners fluttering, under the rising sun, the dust was raised over the procession.
Linghu Shui Yue saw the ancient era’s campaign for the first time, an assembly of 200,000 of troops and horses, bringing along provisions and medicinal supplies. Amongst the 200,000 troops and horses, only 50,000 were elite cavalry, also known as front-lines cavalry. The other 150,000 was infantry, decked out in armor, with pikes and shields in hand.
After setting out in the morning, they hurried on the road without stop. Only until dusk, did they arrive in Fu An Town.
Linghu Shui Yue didn’t expect Zhu You Hong besides governing the military, he also cherished the common people. He camped some distance from Fu An Town at the foot of Fu An Mountain.
There was a brook at the foot of this Fu An Mountain. The woods on both sides of the brook was ancient and dense. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the beautiful scenery was like a poetic painting.
When everyone was setting up the tents, Linghu Shui Yue suddenly remembered of the things Linghu General told her before she left. He wanted her to not leave an inch from Zhu You Hong and to stay in the same tent as him. She recalled how she was attacked again and again. She finally understood Father Linghu General’s painstaking care.
However, she wasn’t the real Linghu Huo Ri. She wasn’t physically weak. She was a young lady so of course she must have a tent all to herself. Besides, she already spent a whole night to make a simple tent for herself, simply constructed to be pitched up, completely different than the ancient era’s style of tents.
Just as she very quickly put up her little tent, she clapped her hands together. She was very proud of the style of the tent she pitched and nodded to herself. A voice with a ridiculing tone cooly drifted over, “Linghu Young Commander, the men press forward day and night. You don’t take the time to rest instead, you’re putting up a dog kennel to play with?”
Spew! Spew blood! This is a dog kennel? Zhu You Hong! Your mouth is poisonous! Linghu Shui Yue looked back and saw Zhu ninth lord with his hand on his hips standing behind her. His face was absolutely serious, with no intention of making a joke.
“This is this young commander’s tent. What dog kennel? Please be mindful of your words, ninth lord!” Linghu Shui Yue was angered she wanted to stamp her feet!
Ninth lord ordered, “Young Commander and benwang’s tent is there. It’s already put up. Dismantle this dog kennel!”
