193 New Era
In the field in front of the Lost City, several YueYang soldiers were still busy facing a group of resisting WahYe soldiers, who although not in large numbers but gathered in the middle with their long weapons ready to be drawn, some had even fallen and tried to stand up again and fight back, many other WahYe soldiers but mostly were cornered on the other side of the field and couldnât help their comrades.
Several men with slightly different gold armor who might be the leader of the army even though with sweaty and bloody faces with big round eyes bulging as if not afraid of death, those people tightened their nerves preparing to die right then and there, rather than surrender and become prisoners.
âCome on! Advance at once!â he exclaimed.
The leaderless YueYang soldiers who had only been assigned to escort the defeated soldiers to the holding cell inside WahYe Palace prepared to attack, until a loud noise stopped them.
âEverybody stops!â Princess WuLanâs old voice, who was approaching with the Crown Princeâs entourage and others, the old womanâs eyes looked sharply, towards the center where the defeated soldiers were forming formations preparing to attack, the squad leader seemed to recognize Princess WuLanâs face, thus slowly loosening her guard.
âP-Princessâ
WuLan came closer to take BaiYing beside him, all the soldiers who saw BaiYingâs face up close seemed stunned to see the face of the young man who managed to summon the huge Dragon that was overshadowing him above his head.
But the soldiers looked at each other, at the sight of Crown Prince YueYang, LuoXiang also stood beside him, even holding BaiYingâs hand tightly.
âItâs time for you to give up, fighting for life and death is not your way of life, now WahYe has risen, you should think about how to start all your new lives.â Wu Lan continued.
.....
WahYeâs chief soldier, who had been under the name of the Black Water Clan, was FaLu, a man who had become the head of the soldiers because of his WahYeâs bloodline, his both grandparents were WahYe soldiers who used to be victims of mass murder by YueYang soldiers after WahYe surrendered at that time and cause his parent to live in vain by their whole lives, it makes him grew up with a grudge carried throughout his life, clenched his fist holding his sword wand, with sharp eyes not afraid to die.
âIâd rather die than submit to a country that has wiped out my family, whatâs the meaning of living serving the murderer!â all the soldiers around LuoXiang and others prepared to draw their weapons as FaLu and others aimed their weapons, however, BaiYing advanced in front of LuoXiang, blocking the weapons aimed at LuoXiang, causing all the soldiers to restrain themselves.
âYingYingâ
LuoXiang trying to pull BaiYingâs hand back, but, the young man looked very solid where he was standing, he looked at FaLu and others sharply, clenching his fists tightly.
âNow, youâll be back as WahYe citizens, no one will kill your family anymore, all past grudges, let it be the past, let alone you, I also have to lose my entire family for the ambition of reviving this country, but, does every time everyone revenge must be avenged in the same way? Then how will this end? How long will it all end?â
BaiYingâs words made FaLu and the others stutter, the words from Young Prince WahYeâs lips that looked very serious, even LuoXiang didnât expect that young man, such a cute and sweet little boy to be able to say all those extraordinary words, even though all this time, he had known him as HuaBaiYing who was still a spoiled brat.
âThisâ
FaLu hesitated, he was just about to lower the stick in his hand when another voice sounded.
âAre you going to listen to this kid? Heâs just a kid who canât even change his own clothes without the help of others, how can he give you any guarantees?â That voice, Old Man Lao who had his hands tied behind his back and was about to be led to the prison with DuGu Ye beside him.
DuGu Ye laughed along.
âHahaha this is so funnyâ
What the man said right, thought FaLu who raised his stick again, as did the soldiers behind him.
LuoXiang smirked.
âHey, this is ridiculous, look at your number, only a few people, and look at all these people, do need to say how will your fate be? That man, along with that girl, will of course face the death penalty for killing so many people, you guys are just errand soldiers, are you guys also want to be like that?â LuoXiang said in a calm voice, he raised his hand to BeiYau and Commander Liu who immediately arrested the people with great ease.
âBeiâ
âReady Your Majestyâ
BaiYingâs eyes widened, it had already fallen so many victims, he couldnât see any more victims.
âYour Majestyâ he exclaimed, LuoXiangâs eyes briefly glanced at him, but the young man averted his eyes.
âThen, what are you going to do YingYing? These people donât want to listen to the words of the Princess or the Young Prince WahYe, why let them live, if one day they will become parasites in your new country and cause rebellion, this, is the same as keeping a poisonous snake in the houseâ
BaiYing thought hard he clenched his fists and thinking, glare at FaLu and his men.
âEm, then what should we do, to convince you all to surrender and submit to all the new rules of WahYe country, handing your life and death to YueYang? And will not rebel? Wonât cause any war one day and live side by side in peace? Do you donât want your children and grandchildren to be able to enjoy a comfortable, happy life without feeling restless and afraid to live?â BaiYing asked,
FaLu and his men glanced at each other, that army is one of the most powerful troops in WahYeâs new army, and of course, if he rebelled, the other soldiers might also follow him, and all will be in vain, what he and the others did, would just fail.
âWe need a leader, at least someone who makes sure we are all safe and can live with pride,â said FaLu.
BaiYing looked at WuLan, then at ChenMing, the current palace family only had a few people left, and he was one of them.
âGrandmaâ
WuLan smiled when she saw BaiYing looking at her, the old lady grabbed BaiYingâs hand and squeezed it.
âYingâer, please help this old lady, grandma is no longer able to lead a village let alone a country, and ChenMing, he is still very innocent, even though he can be a leader, but he still needs you, you, who made all this happened.â
ChenMing crossed his arms in front of his chest, his brows raised high.
âDonât look at me, Iâm just Young Prince WahYe, being the leader is none of my business right now.â
BaiYing swallowed hard, then looked at LuoXiang beside him, what should he do?
âBut grandma, Yingâer...â he stopped when he saw LuoXiangâs deep gaze on him, the young man grabbed BaiYingâs hand and held it tightly.
âYingYingâ
When everything was under control, there was another voice from OldLaoâs direction, he laughed.
âHahahaha, that little boy, you really want to give your life and death to such a small kid? What can he do? Summoning a Dragon? Just so you know, that kid summoned the dragon while under the influence of Viceroy YueWang, without him, he is just an ordinary spoiled child, how can he guarantee you will be safe, not to mention, you donât know, that this child, is the concubine of the Crown Princeâs of Yue Yang?â hearing that, there was a commotion from FaLu and his men, all of whom didnât seem to know beforehand.
âOh yeah?â
âReally?â the vogue voices of WahYe soldiers.
âYou know what that means? If one day, that kid will sell you to YueYang country and make your life a living hellâ Ol Mand Lao continued.
LuoXiang glanced at BeiYau, how could his men let that ugly old man keep talking since earlier.
âBeiYau what are you guys doing? Shut their mouth and take them to prison.â
BeiYau lowered his head.
âYes, Your Majestyâ rushed to the place where old man Lao and DuGuYe were, he raised his hand to order his men to push the two people away.
âMoves!â
FaLu nodded.
âItâs true what Old Man Lao said, you are just a child, we need a strong leader, give Young King YueWang that position, we will only obey him because he is the one who deserves all the fruits of his hard work to bring this country to alive againâ
The manâs words made LuoXiang grin.
âHehe is really funny, he is bidding, do you are in a bidding position at this time?â
BaiYing looked at FaLu and others who saw him doubting,
âWahYe will be under YueYangâs protection, Iâll make sure of that,â he said firmly, his eyes were sharp, he clenched his fists tightly, his body instantly let out a whitish wind that swirled around him, he couldnât hold back anymore.
âYingYing, what are you doing?â LuoXiang widened his eyes as he watched the boy move away from him.
âAnd that man you call the Viceroy, I have already defeated, did you still think that person is worthy of leading you? Just accept the fact, that this time, Iâm the one standing in front of you, not the man who killed my two parents and my entire family!â BaiYingâs voice was muffled as if he was holding back the anger that was churning in his chest.
