Yuan Bu Po could still remember the situation back then clearly until now.
The gentle elder sister pulled out the purple jade hairpin on her head. She seemed to have lost her senses as she drew hideous wounds on her face one by one.
She did not allow anyone to come near her. If anyone did, she would immediately destroy their magic soul.
She said each word with hatred, "Xuan Wuji, you made Canglang suffer. I wish I could skin you alive. I will never play the Di Hong Song with you in this lifetime. As long as I, Yuan Shahua, am alive, I will never step into the Tomb of Emperor Xuanyuan. "
Her mother, who loved her eldest daughter, fainted on the spot.
However, the people from the City Lord's Mansion were still very aggressive. Faced with such a situation, Yuan Bupo felt a surge of anger in his chest. Although he was only eight years old, he managed to break free from his clansmen's obstruction and hugged Yuan Shahua.
"No one is allowed to force my elder sister. It's just the Di Hong Song. I, Yuan Bupo, swear that I will replace my elder sister and enter the Tomb of Emperor Xuanyuan. I, Yuan Bupo, will learn the Nine Chapters of the Di Hong. "The child's words came true.
With the support of the Yuan Clan, Yuan Shahua left the Grand Emperor City.
Since then, the naughty and lazy Yuan Bupo learned the Di Hong Song with determination. His talent was better than Yuan Shahua's. Coupled with his hard work, he finally comprehended the first five chapters of the Di Hong Song at the age of thirteen.
At the age of fifteen, he comprehended the sixth chapter of the Di Hong Song and became the first genius in the Grand Emperor City to do so.
Even the people from the Xuan family's City Governor's Mansion dared not underestimate Yuan Bupo. Everyone knew that Yuan Bupo would definitely be the one to enter Emperor Xuanyuan's Tomb with the Xuan family's women in the near future.
Yuan Bupo finally turned sixteen this year. He also had the opportunity to leave the Grand Emperor City and travel.
The first thing he did when he traveled was to find his elder sister, Yuan Shahua, and meet Yun Canglang. He wanted to know what kind of man could make his elder sister so infatuated that she would betray her clan for him.
After much difficulty, he finally found out that his eldest sister, who had left the Grand Emperor City, was living in seclusion at the southern border of Zhou State.
In the past, his eldest sister was beautiful and gentle. She was a genius girl that everyone in the Grand Emperor City looked up to, and she was also the future wife of the City Lord. But now, she had become a lonely woman with a cold personality who was unwilling to go out all day.
Facing her younger brother's anger and indignation, Yuan Sha Hua appeared very calm.
She adjusted the strings in her hands and played a note: "Bupo, you still don't have a sweetheart, right?"
Yuan Shahua knew her younger brother very well. He had been the only son of the Yuan Family since he was young. When he was only three years old, he had already displayed talent that surpassed anyone in the city.
He was also handsome and had long been admired by the young ladies of the clan in the city. It was also because of this that he developed an arrogant and condescending personality, treating women like dirt. Other than a few sisters in his family, he didn't care about anyone else.
"What's so good about a woman? She's like a sparrow, chirping and chirping." Yuan Bupo snorted.
"Wait until you meet your sweetheart, then you'll know how I feel. Bupo, promise me that you won't make things difficult for Yun Canglang and don't tell him. I'm here. Between us, there's the Grand Emperor City and thousands of lives of the Yun Family army. It's impossible for us to be together in this lifetime. "Yuan Shahua looked at the arrogant Yuan Bupo and shook her head helplessly and dotingly.
"Sister, I'll agree to your request. However, I heard that Xuan Wuji brought Xuan Meimei out on a trip this time as well. Just because I won't harass Yun Canglang doesn't mean that he won't do it. "Yuan Bupo didn't mean what he said. He had long planned to go to the Jade Capital to take a look when he had the chance.
The Xuan siblings were very rude and unreasonable. He was afraid that they would take revenge on the Yun Family this time.
If Yun Canglang couldn't even defeat Xuan Wuji, then he really didn't deserve to be with his sister.
Yuan Shahua looked at her brother who was in a daze and thought back to when she first met Yun Canglang. She was also sixteen years old.
Eight years had passed … She couldn't help but touch her face. When she touched the centipede-like scars, a trace of pain flashed across her brows.
Canglang … Are you alright? I'm afraid you and I won't be able to hear the zither and flute of the Southern Land in this lifetime.
In the Zhou State palace, Yun Canglang knelt on the ground. He raised the Zhou State general seal high above his head and said loudly, "Your subject, Yun Canglang, requests to resign from the post of General of the Zhou State Cavalry. Your Majesty, please grant me permission."
Zhou State's emperor, Ye Chengtian, couldn't help but frown.
In the past few days, the Zhou State's emperor had been extremely busy because of the Crown Prince's matter.
Today, he had just left the Crown Prince's palace with Empress Qi when he heard the palace guard report that General Yun Canglang had requested an audience.
Earlier, he had sent people to capture the soldier who had participated in the Crown Prince's escort. Who knew that the soldier hadn't returned and instead, Yun Canglang, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, had requested an audience.
Before Yun Canglang was crippled, he was the Second Grade General of the Cavalry of the Zhou State. After he was crippled, the Zhou State's emperor didn't strip him of his military rank in consideration of the Yun Family's loyalty. He only took back his military authority.
Who knew that Yun Canglang's first words would be to resign?
Yun Canglang had returned to the capital in defeat eight years ago and hadn't attended court for eight years.
After hearing this news, Ye Chengtian's expression didn't show any joy. Instead, there was a trace of astonishment.
"Beloved Official Yun, has your hand been healed? Since that's the case, why do you want to resign from your post? You are a rare talent in the Zhou State. "The Zhou State's emperor and the eunuchs all saw that Yun Canglang's hand had recovered. Even his Battle Qi cultivation had recovered.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject's hand has indeed recovered. This subject knows that eight years ago, during the battle in the south, this subject deserves ten thousand deaths. Your Majesty remembered the contributions of the ancestors of the Yun Family and didn't punish this subject. In these eight years, this subject has never fulfilled his duties as a subject. The laws of the Zhou State state that a subject who hasn't attended court for three years will be removed from his post and investigated. "Yun Canglang had already made up his mind.
"Beloved Official Yun, the number of generals in the Zhou State has withered and Old General Yun is also old. You are in the prime of your life and should help the country share Old General Yun's burdens. We won't allow your resignation." Ye Chengtian insisted on not agreeing to Yun Canglang's request.
As expected, the Zhou State's emperor didn't agree to his resignation.
The ruler and his subject were at a standstill in the court, neither willing to give way.
It was easy to join the army, but difficult to resign. The number of generals in the Zhou State's court had withered and Yun Canglang hadn't left the General's Manor for many years. Thus, he didn't know much about the Zhou State's military situation.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the vice commander of the Heaven Extermination Hunting Troop, Yan Yun, and the summoner Zong Yi are requesting an audience." When Ye Chengtian heard Zong Yi's name, he was enraged.
"Are you talking about the summoner Zong Yi that heavily injured the crown prince? What a good Zong Yi. He bullied my Zhou State's court and dared to cause trouble in my Zhou State's palace after injuring my son! Men, no matter what method we use, we must take down this old bastard Zong Yi! "
