Chapter 281 Farewell (Part One)
Yun Shang was taken aback. What was he talking about? The fate of being the great one? Isn't it the
empress? These words shocked Yun Shang. If she was the empress, then who was the emperor? Luo
Qingyan?
Prince Jing seemed surprised, but he came to himself first. He pointed at Yun Shang and said with a
smile, "Mr. Qing Cang, this is my wife. I invite you here because I hope you can help her and fight back
the attack of the state of Xia."
Yun Shang also collected herself. Judging from Prince Jing's tone, it seemed that he was not surprised
at Mr. Qing Cang's words, and he seemed to change the topic. Yun Shang remained silent for a while.
Then she made a curtsy to him and said, "His Highness has told me about you. You are quite
impressive. Please take a seat, sir."
Mr. Qing Cang smiled, walked to his chair and sat down. Qian Yin came out from behind the screen
and saw an outsider. She bowed and said, "I'll make tea for this gentleman." Then she left.
Yun Shang and Prince Jing sat down next to Prince Qingsu. Prince Jing said with a smile, "the inner
disciple is so naughty that he secretly asked the emperor to appoint another inspector in this camp. His
opponent was Liu Yinfeng. Liu Yingfeng is good at deploying. The inner disciple knew nothing about
arrays, so he almost died in his eight diagram before. "
Yun Shang smiled at Prince Jing, with a flicker of guilt in her eyes.
Hearing Prince Jing's words, Mr. Qing Cang nodded his head and said, "yes, you are right. Liu Yinfeng
is my senior fellow's apprentice. He was brought in by my senior fellow after he betrayed the sect.
Although he is young, he hasn't spent much time learning. However, he has a good comprehension
and learned a lot. My wife had been lucky to survive when you helped her. Now that you trust me, I'll do
my best. "
Hearing this, Yun Shang and Prince Jing smiled at each other and made an obeisance to him. "Thank
you, sir."
Qian Yin came in with tea on the table. Prince Jing had talked with Prince Qingsu for a while. Then Yun
Shang asked Qian Yin to take Mr Qing Cang out and arrange a place for him.
Silence befell the camp after Qing Cang left. Prince Jing cast a glance at Yun Shang and said gently,
"the array will not be a difficult thing with his help. I should leave tomorrow. You should take care of
yourself in the camp. There is nowhere to be trifled with in the battlefield. If the battle doesn't need to
be fought by yourself, you can just stay in the camp. just don't take risks. You have to know that only
when you are safe can we win this battle. "
Yun Shang nodded without saying anything.
In the afternoon, Yun Shang left the camp with Yun Shang and the shadow guards to check the lake on
the map.
"Yun Lake is located on the top of the Dragon Mountain. The whole top of the mountain was covered
by this lake. It's about the size of two KY cities. The lake is so deep that no one can see it. Because the
Dragon Mountain is a bit high on the top of the mountain, few people climb it." As Wang Chong rode
the horse, he introduced the information about the yun lake to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang nodded. She had known it before she came.
The Dragon Mountain was a mountain behind the KY city. Because it was behind the KY City, at least
for the time being, the army of the state of Xia could not approach this Dragon Mountain. They were not
familiar with the Yun Lake except for a name.
The Dragon Mountain was indeed high. After climbing more than half of the place, the road was very
narrow. No horse could climb up the mountain in any case. Yun Shang got off the horse and walked up
the mountain with Wang Chong and the secret guards.
It was cold winter now. The road was slippery on the mountain. It was hard for those who practiced
martial arts to climb up.
They almost didn't stop the whole way. About four hours later, they arrived at the top of the mountain.
When they arrived at the top, they saw that Yun Lake was like a blue mirror on the top of the mountain.
What a beautiful scenery.
Yun Shang breathed out a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on her face. Walking to the lake, she looked
down at the foot of the mountain and opened her mouth softly. "The Dragon mountain is the highest
mountain around the KY City. In the south is KY City, and in the west is Rosy Clouds Hill ." Yun Shang
curled her lips and said, "the Rosy Clouds Hill is the place where the Jing River starts..."
"Yes, there is a lake above the Rosy Clouds Hill, but it is smaller than the Yun Lake. Besides, in recent
years, the rain in KY city decreased, and the water in the lake had already dried up."
It was getting dark, but Yun Shang didn't go down the mountain in a hurry. She walked around the lake
to the west, and kept her eyes on the foot of the mountain. After walking for more than an hour, she
stopped and murmured, "This is helpful."
Unable to figure out what was going on, Wang Chong stretched his head and looked down the
mountain. He only saw a very steep cliff. The cliff looked as flat as the way they came up last time. He
asked, "what did your highness just say?"
Yun Shang didn't reply, but gave a bigger smile. She said, "it's dark. Let's call it a day. Tomorrow
morning you go with me to the Rosy Clouds Hill below."
Wang Chong nodded and looked at the cliff. He didn't know why Yun Shang was smiling. Yun Shang Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
turned around and walked back.
The road down the mountain was frightening as it was extremely slippery because of freezing.
However, since it was very high, they dared not use their Qinggong (*TN: A Chinese martial arts
technique that supposedly helps one lift and travel in the air.), which would make the place where they
fell more dangerous. They lit the fires, trembling with fear. It was not until midnight that they went down
the mountain. When they returned to the barracks, it was a quarter past midnight. Yun Shang returned
to the camp and saw Prince Jing reading under the light. Yun Shang turned to Qian Yin. Qian Yin
opened her mouth, but said nothing. "His highness stayed up all night."
Yun Shang walked to Prince Jing with a frown, "you've been reading overnight?"
It was not until then that Prince Jing noticed Yun Shang walk in. He looked up at her and found her hair
a little wet and her lower part of her body almost wet. He frowned and reached out his hand to touch
her hand naturally. "Where have you been? Why do you come back so late? Your hands are so cold
and your clothes are wet. "
Yun Shang turned around and asked Qian Yin to fetch hot water before taking off her overcoat and
putting it aside. "I went to the top of the Dragon Mountain and have a look. That mountain is too high.
In this cold winter, the road is covered with ice, so we can't climb up halfway on horses, but we have to
climb up. It is even harder to climb up, because the road is too slippery, so it took us so long to climb
up. Now I almost knelt down. I can't keep my legs straight anymore. " Yun Shang smiled bitterly. "The
mist was so heavy in the morning that my clothes got wet."
