Peace Order

Chapter 1833 - 89: Seeking Peace

Breathing the air heavy with the murderous aura of swords and blades, feeling the piercing pain in both his heart and wounds, then, standing on the battlefield, he tightened his grip on his weapon, shouting as he charged forward, ignoring the stab of pain in his heart, letting his eyes turn red.

All he could do was fight with all his might.

At that time, even sorrow was a luxury for Prince Qin; an old saying goes, "the greatest sorrow is a heart that is dead, for actual death is second to it." Prince Qin wielded his weapon, guarding the nation’s gates, and upon his return, boosted morale, arranging everything finally.

Only then could he allow himself to grieve.

Carrying the wish for peace across the land.

Even pain should not be displayed outwardly.

The Human Emperor is without joy or tears.

Rather than the physical wounds on his body, it was the weariness in his heart that made him fall into deep sleep; at least in dreams, there’s a moment of respite, even though old Mr. Lei hadn’t lived through a magician’s life like the old Magician, knowing not the pain of a dead heart.

Just hearing about the impact on longevity already made him worry greatly, saying:

"Longevity?!"

"Has the Elixir of Immortality lost its efficacy?"

The old Magician replied, "If it worked, how could my inept grand-disciple have died? Yet it just brings overwhelming vitality; even Qilin and Divine Dragon have their day of cycle. How can anything in the world be eternally undying?"

Mr. Lei paused his voice, he said, "Then, such remedy for vitality, might have some use, can you refine it, sir?"

The old Magician replied irritably, "In such circumstances, even if you unearthed Hou Zhongyu, it wouldn’t help."

Mr. Lei simply sighed in frustration.

As he was worrying greatly, he suddenly heard a sound from inside the house, then the door was opened, Murong Qiushui staggered out, saying, "Guan Yi, Guan Yi has woken up!"

The old Magician’s eyes instantly brightened, turning swiftly around and rushing inside like a wind.

Realizing he was losing composure, he arranged his clothes before paying respect, walking in, indeed seeing Li Guanyi reclining on the bed, the twenty-two-year-old famous general with a solemn demeanor, looking young, only his temples frosted white, quite striking.

After examination, the old Magician said, "Your Majesty, any discomfort felt?"

Li Guanyi responded, "Only that the battlefield drained too much spirit and strength; finally returning to Jiangnan, settling down, and suddenly fainting away, troubled you, sir."

The old Magician studied Li Guanyi, saying no more, merely saying:

"As Your Majesty recovers, it’s a good thing. During this time, everyone was rather worried, it’s just that on the battlefield, the murderous aura felt too intense, fighting with swords and guns drains much energy and spirit, causing severe depletion."

Li Guan Yi said, "I understand, sir, I will take care of my health."

The old Magician sighed, nodding, turning to leave.

Suddenly feeling somewhat helpless.

He had seen too much; these people always say they would mind their health, but often charged to the forefront, many laughing faces saying they’d return next time never come back.

These people are brave and proud, most uphold their promises.

Yet also most neglect them.

What can be done?

After Li Guanyi woke, propped his body, he naturally saw many war generals and friends. Having crossed that hurdle, achieving the realm of Martial Arts Legend. Martial Arts Legend, rather than a power amplification, is more of a realm and mastery.

At this moment, his spirit is perfect, yet, for unknown reasons, he’s ultimately tired at heart.

Seeing Li Guanyi safe, everyone felt calm, all deeply relieved, Li Guanyi still had them bring the current intelligence dossiers, sitting by the window, browsing scroll by scroll, while inquiring about specific situations from the generals.

Though the crowd worried about his health, they knew the situation of world changes, all reported in detail.

The previously maintained balance, false peace has ended, even though the battle has ended, the borders between Qin and Ying remain tense, with border troops constantly ready for war, commerce between sides halted, turning into internal turnover structures.

The lands adjacent to both sides are Zhenbei City and the fortresses attacked by Yuwen Lie and the others before, between lie many mountains and hills, not so easily crossed, after this battle, Zhenbei City and Yu’an City need further fortification.

This requires much gold, silver, and manpower.

Meanwhile, the casualties from this war are not low, requiring consolation and recuperation.

And, the newly acquired Chen Country territory, various forces on the Turkic grassland, further control needs to be exerted...

The war symbolizes conflicts reaching an extreme, exploding in the most violent and direct way, yet victory or defeat after the war doesn’t mean it’s over, many follow-up matters need handling, needing effortful attention.

Li Guanyi pulled Yan Daiqing, Mr. Po Jun, and others, discussing for days, organizing Heavenly Strategy Mansion’s various post-war matters, deciding on the overall direction and framework, then barely able to relax slightly.

The crowd exchanged glances, then rose to leave, Li Guanyi accompanied Auntie for a stroll. When he went out, seeing the entire Jiangnan’s State City, still bustling as ever, coming to Jiangnan seven or eight years ago, this city was initially ideal-covered place.

It was the place where the flame initially burned, hence changes here were particularly significant, Li Guanyi traversed this bustling crowd, yet felt somewhat dazed, despite the great victory, despite seeing such a prosperous world, he was but absent-minded.
