192 The Palace is Back
However, it turned out that the impact not only sent BaiYing crashing into Luo Xiang so hard. The violent energy in BaiYing’s body also threw YueWang, sending the man flying far, soaring high and crashing hard to the rock.
“Brukk!!”
LuoXiang’s eyes widened, holding BaiYing’s limp body in his arms.
“YingYing!”
While General Po who missed catching up with YueWang earlier approached the man who was almost crushed as he fell. Half of his body, starting from his hand scalded from burning, General Po aimed the tip of his machete at the helpless and defenceless man’s neck whos gasping for his short remaining breath. He doesn’t mind to kill the man now but he’s restraining himself.
“Sreeet”
AYa and ShinYa ran back up the cliff, eyes wide open seeing BaiYing who had fallen limply in LuoXiang’s arms.
“Ying’er!”
“Your Honour!” both exclaimed at the same time.
.....
LuoXiang was anxious. The blow was so hard, that he could hear the bones in the young man’s body cracking, even breaking. But, the young man raised his hand, caressing LuoXiang’s cheek with a smile.
“Your Majesty, Servant, is so very tired”
And finally fell unconscious.
“No YingYing” LuoXiang shouted holding BaiYing’s hand and seeing the young man shut his eyes.
When everyone was very anxious, Er Wang who slowly raised his head after falling asleep just now seemed to chuckle.
“Hehehe don’t worry, Lord of Realm, won’t die so easily, he’s just sleeping.”
Luo Xiang held his breath, raising his hand to touch BaiYing’s cheek.
“Ying Ying”
........
The smoke hovering covering the battlefield slowly dissipated. Both sides decided not to continue their battle. The Black Water Clan surrendered after seeing with their own eyes their supreme leader fell helplessly. It was General Po who brought down YueWang’s defenceless body and knocked him down, in front of his men,
“Brukk!
Including DuGu Ye and old man Lao who was unable to escape after countless troops from BeiYau and Commander Liu held them, while DuGu Ye was not even a match to her opponent at the time.
From behind the dissipating smoke, WuLan widened her eyes to see several people emerge it. LuoXiang who was walking straight, while carrying someone who was motionless in his arms, who else but BaiYing.
“Oh Ying’er!’ without thinking twice the old woman approached.
“Ying’er!”
LuoXiang lowered BaiYing’s body slowly onto the ground, his eyes still looking around him, at everyone including YiFang who was helping to seize DuGu Ye.
“YiFang”
The man lowered his head to salute him.
“Greetings Your Majesty”
.....
The battle ended, some of the troops led by Commander Liu rushed into WahYe’s palace which was guarded by several of WahYe soldiers.
“Brukk!”
Commander Liu broke down the doors at one of the locked rooms.
“Young master!” shouted Commander Liu banging the door loudly, in the room sitting on the corner of the bed, FengHan immediately lowered his legs when he saw Commander Liu and his men rush in.
“Commander Liu!”
LiuFu was relieved, after being so tensed imagining what happened to FengHan which he can’t found in the battle area.
“Oh thank goodness young master, you are safe”
Without thinking twice commander Liu approached the young man and hugged him, even when FengHan was still stuttering to see the big tall man enter.
“Commander Liu, I’m fine, thanks for coming to save me.”
“prangg!”
LiuFu smiled, he doesn’t care anymore, he dropped his big machete on the floor and hugged the young man with both hands.
“Heh sorry for being late, thank goodness you’re okay”
FengHan smiled, he hugged the big man and patted his back.
“Hehe yeah”
.....
The Lost City became bustling after almost all of the villagers of LoHua were led there by people from the Black Water Clan. Princess WuLan who was limping with the help of MeMa didn’t stop looking around her, almost in tears because she was so moved.
“Oh home, we are back to our home”
WahYe palace complex is very majestic, a lost city in the middle of the Cloud forest, outside the borders of SuiLian city. Once the location was not a forest, but because it had long been abandoned and neglected since no one has visited and nothing could be done there.
After the Lost City disappeared into a pile of rock and could not give life to anyone, WahYe residents were forced to move out partly to SuiLian city, and some as far away as possible. But, now they were back, a very large city for all, the WahYe palace which stands firmly with the flag flying steadily on the highest pole, the strong wind blows making a rumbling sound that can be heard clearly everywhere.
Old Pai along with the other elders, most of whom were descendants of the old Minister and officials, who were not arrested in the Blue palace looked around them, their faces moved. Finally, they were able to return to a place they could call home,
“Hey, this is going to be a very tough job, look at this city, it’s very big,” said old man Pai, another elder nodded.
“That’s right, we should thinking about the location of our official residence to start working immediately .”
Another elder laughed.
“hehehehe yeah, it looks like that”
.......
While Luo Xiang, holding onto BaiYing’s shoulder who was walking beside him, the young man still looked exhausted after what happened. Both of them stopped in front of the huge palace gate seeing how tall the silver-plated gate stood so firmly, indeed if this country had not surrendered, it might have fallen far more victims from both sides because of the military strength that is not much different.
Luo Xiang just realized, that in the past the unselfish King YenHui thought of surrendering to his people, but who would have thought, that the YueYang Emperor wanted more than just surrender, all the greatness of WahYe, which can be used to become the ruler of the world.
BaiYing straightened up, releasing LuoXiang’s hand on his shoulder.
“Your Majesty, I can walk by myself.”
Luo Xiang smiled, he stretched out his hand, opening his palm in front of the young man.
“Then hold my hand tightly”
BaiYing looked at the wide palm, what the Crown Prince promised him all this time, that he would always hold his hand tightly. The young man placed his hand on LuoXiang’s wide palm, intertwining all their fingers together and go hand in hand.
“Of course Your Majesty”
And the two of them walked to lead YueYang’s troops into WahYe Palace.
ShinYa and aYa walked slowly, as one of WahYe’s shamans, this will be his next residence, he has never had any contact with the Palace family since his father fled the palace with his grandfather. Back then it was all so chaotic that many officials also separated themselves for their safety, and not just him, ShinYa sure there are still many higher-ups of WahYe living all over the plains wherever they are at this time. All will try to come back, at least to visit this country, and ShinYa, feel very lucky because he can witness how WahYe’s new history begins again.
BeiYau and ChenMing walked side by side with Luo Xiang, despite being injured from the battle earlier, he still stood firm, smiling walking very close to ChenMing who was also looking disheveled from the battle earlier.
After this, BeiYau was looking forward to a good night’s sleep, everyone was so tired from the endless journeys and battles that went on day and night, at least now it was almost over.
...
While everyone was enjoying their entry into the palace, Commander Liu approached quickly, immediately lowering his body in front of the Crown Prince.
“Report Your Majesty, the captured soldiers are starting to rebel, they will put up a fight and prepare to die” the young man exclaimed.
Hearing that all eyes turned to him, even WuLan who was standing not far from them.
BaiYing held LuoXiang’s clothes, his gaze made the Crown Prince understand what he meant.
“Why are they fighting? After knowing the results will be in vain, their leader has been arrested, what else do those people want?”
“Your Majesty, don’t kill them, many of them just soldiers and subordinates who get orders,” said BaiYing.
LuoXiang pursed his lips, seeing BaiYIng’s deep gaze on him, had a lot of hope.
“But some of them want to rebel, that has been their goal from the beginning, it will be very hard to change their mind”
WuLan approached.
“Your Majesty, those people just want to stay in their own country, revenge or whatever it’s called is out of their mind, most of them want identity recognition that they are WahYe people, please spare their life”
LuoXiang looked around, BaiYing was a citizen WahYe, ShinYa too, ChenMing, FengHan, and many more WahYe residents around him. They do exist and this is not just a mere saying that their number is still very large and they really need a country to be recognized as their identity. The Crown Prince glanced at BaiYing, took BaiYing’s hand, and held him.
“Heh, YingYing, what do you want to do now, as a Young Prince of WahYe, you have more right to decide what their fate will be.”
BaiYing looked at the old LuoXiang, his round eyes stared at the man and blinked a number of times to confirm what the man said, is it time for him to grow up now? Being a person in charge of the lives of so many people. He didn’t want that, but, seeing what had happened so far, and what he could do, could he close his eyes and pretend it didn’t happen?
BaiYing tightened his grip, seeing ShinYa and General Po who both nodded as if to say that he could do it.
