Peace Order-Chapter 1639 - 40: The Weight of Beauty’s Grace

Is this truly the First Divine General from five hundred years ago?!

But the shopkeeper from the restaurant below courteously said: "Just now, Prince Qin sent a letter and a jar of wine for you all."

"I’ll bring it up to you right away."

A letter?

The Whale Hunter raised an eyebrow, looked in that direction, and found that under General Xue’s interference, the area was already empty; Li Guanyi and Shaking Light had already left. He furrowed his brow and reached out.

The letter flew up from below, landing right in the Whale Hunter’s hand. He shook his wrist, displaying the letter before him, where a line of neat writing was presented.

[Not allowed to read]

The Whale Hunter was stunned but then covered his eyes with his hand, falling backward onto the dragon scale-like layered building. Suddenly, he laughed heartily and helplessly said: "Forget it, forget it!"

......

The winter scenery was clear, and the world was on the brink of change.

In this land of Jiangnan, Li Guanyi could enjoy a period of tranquility.

He usually played chess with Grandpa, chatted with Mr. Yan Daiqing and Mr. Wen Qingyu, and everywhere he went, a silver-haired girl lazily followed. His personal reputation was extremely high throughout the Jiangnan region, unlike the troubles in Xiyi City.

Time passed at a leisurely pace, yet the national situation was turbulent. Although it had reached a tension-filled state, nations and heroes worldwide watched Xiyi City with concern, predicting changes in the national situation and preparing to place their bets.

In the historical records, it was a time of turbulence, heroes lying dormant, and impending chaos; Chen Country’s royal power and aristocratic families, Ying Country’s civil and military officials, the Crown Prince’s faction, the Second Prince’s faction, the Central Plains’ outlaws, and the steppe’s heroes.

In this chaotic world, the various forces and conflicts accumulated over three hundred years had intensified frantically in just a few months, as if a breach had been torn open, with many intrigues, schemes, plots, and hidden enmities playing out in turn.

This era became the favorite of future historians and storytellers.

And it made the unofficial history of this era the foremost in all dynasties.

Yet it could not affect the clear and transparent winter sunshine in Jiangnan.

Li Guanyi quietly held up a tea cup, watching the sunlight causing ripples of light to shimmer within the cup; the silver-haired girl was contemplating how to bake bread. Shaking Light’s inferential skills were strong, but she seemed to use mystical skills for many things.

For some simple things, she instead chose instinct.

In fact, the girl’s instincts were terrible; this bread was burnt and charred, with cracks.

Murong Qiushui was simultaneously feeding the silver-haired girl and commented:

"After the New Year, it will be the seventeenth year of Divine Revelation, and Li Nu’er will be twenty years old. Many officials from Central State’s Ministry of Rites have come, uncovering many bulletins and archives, saying that the coming-of-age ceremony of a king is a universally celebrated event and needs to be prepared from the year’s start."

"Various expenses, which aren’t a small sum."

Li Guanyi said: "Don’t worry, Aunt." He put down the cup in his hand, smiled, and said: "I’ve already figured out how the silver coins here are coming."

Nangong Wumeng muttered: "Just as long as you don’t ask me to go for a walk again."

General Nangong Wumeng was already at the peak of the Sixth Layer Heaven.

The speed of his practice was so fast it left Li Guanyi speechless, but Nangong Wumeng was annoyed, saying that for someone who became the world’s second Divine General at twenty and called me fast at a mere Sixth Layer Heaven, it was somewhat excessive.

Li Guanyi listened to Nangong Wumeng and said: "You’ve already explored most of this area around Jiangnan. Next time, let’s go for a tour around the steppe; it’s vast and definitely has many good things."

Nangong Wumeng glared at him but eventually responded awkwardly.

"[Together], then, together."

"Although I don’t really wish to go out [together] with you, but since you’ve said so, cough, cough, after all, you are Lord, and I am merely your Ranger General under your command, if you tell me to go, I can’t refuse."

Li Guanyi blinked: "Therefore, General Nangong, please accept the order."

Nangong Wumeng was puzzled and tilted his head: "Ah?"

Li Guanyi solemnly said: "Please bring me enough gold and silver to run the Heavenly Strategy Mansion for ten years!"

He was satisfied to see Nangong Wumeng become annoyed, but instead saw the woman in front of him looking at him with a regretful gaze: "Prince Qin, are you alright?"

"Is silver enough to run the Heavenly Strategy Mansion for only ten years?"

Li Guanyi hesitated and said: "Hmm? Ah? Then what?"

Nangong Wumeng looked at him encouragingly: "Ask for more!"

Li Guanyi replied: "How about fifteen years?"

Nangong Wumeng raised the wine cup, took a gulp, and said boldly: "I can find enough gold for you to squander for a hundred years!"

Li Guanyi was overjoyed: "Really?!"

Nangong Wumeng exhaled a breath of alcohol: "False!"

Nangong Wumeng laughed, feeling proud: "Since it’s a dream, why not dare to dream bigger?! Lord, oh lord, are you so impoverished that you can’t even dream big?"

Prince Qin: "..."

Nangong Wumeng, successfully countered Prince Qin for the first time!

Then a big hand directly pressed his head.

But was subdued by Prince Qin in physical manner.

The slightly tipsy General Nangong Wumeng let out a cry, Li Guanyi was helpless, and the silver-haired girl beside him held a straight wooden stick in both hands, forcefully offering it to Li Guanyi, her face showing no expression, but with a kind of eager confidence.
