189 The Legend of Shangguan (1/2)
As Han Sanhe spoke, the situation lost its tense edge.
His words were absolutely reasonable. It was beyond doubt that the Shangguang Family of Generals was revered by the continent’s militants but they had still accumulated a world of foes. The Shangguan Family of Generals was indeed left with widows and orphans. Their meng were long gone, but there were even more generals from the other nations that had been killed in the hands of Shangguan Family of Generals. While the descendants of these fallen generals respected the patriotism of the Shangguan Family of Generals, they still stood irreconcilable with them. It was difficult to blame these families who had not gone to pay homage to the Shangguan Family of Generals today due to the grudge they held.
Yun Yang was still murmuring and mumbling, leading the way while chastising his wards incessantly, ”These people are utter bastards… they’re here as guests but they don’t do as the Romans do, actually making a fuss at this important time and thinking of themselves so highly. Your father curses these bastards that they don’t ever wake up from their sleep…”
”They’re actually absent at such an important moment, what is the use of them being alive? May they die so that they can quickly reincarnate.”
The foreign generals glared at him, but they had nowhere to vent the bitterness they felt. They could not even rebuke him, despite the terrible temptation to do so.
Yun Yang talked under his breath for as long as they walked; the generals were about to break down from his muttering. It was an unprecedented experience of helpless incredulity.
They had been chided along their way to the Residence of Nine Supremes and they had been once again chided on their way to the family of generals.
Did they really come all their way and spend their fortunes at Yutang only to be scolded at every turn?
They had basically not done anything other than spend a fortune coming to Yutang this time; other than losing their manpower and suffering damage to their combat powers, the only other thing they had done was to get chastised by a young scoundrel…
…
”What are the generals from the four empires doing now?”
The emperor looked at Old Marshal Qiu casually seated facing hin. ”I heard that the Residence of Nine Supremes experienced some turmoil last night, so severe that the entire Tiantang could feel it.”
As Qiu Jianhan was about to speak, his shoulders jerked abruptly while his face beamed like a blossoming flower. Just as he opened his mouth, he coughed, ”Cough, cough… Haha – cough… Hah…”
The emperor rolled his eyes discreetly and looked at the old man who was slowly going insane.
”Your Majesty might not know it yet…”
The old marshal chortled for a good amount of time before he finally stopped, his body still trembling while he looked like he could burst out laughing at any time. ”Of course the Residence of Nine Supremes is safe and sound, steady like a mountain. I heard that a lot of their people died inside, even the top expert of Dayuan – Liang Yunqi, Dragon of Clouds, fell within its walls. It’s so gratifying!”
”There is one more thing that makes this old man uncontrollably thrilled. I have to say, Han Sanhe’s vision is brutal indeed. He has wanted Yun Yang ever since he saw him, wanting him to become their guide… and he couldn't have chosen a better person.”
His Majesty was puzzled. ”Why so?”
”I heard that Yun Yang has almost tormented all the generals to death…” Qiu Jianhan was heaving from laughing too much, ”This child is a genius. His eloquence sits at the top of this world, peerless in this universe. I heard that…”
Old Marshal Qiu was patient as he narrated what Yun Yang had done once more.
His Majesty’s eyes bulged as he listened.
”He actually used the word brothel and break so many of them down? He united our people in loathing the enemy and lifting their morale?”
”He rebuked everyone in front of the Residence of Nine Supremes and they couldn't even find anything to say?”
”He berated them throughout the entire journey?”
”He hit the jackpot by selling them wine?”
”He’s still admonishing them along the way now? Scolding the generals like their status was very much lower than him?”
As the narration went on, the emperor’s sonorous laughter boomed through the hall as it resonated through the palace, scaring all those who had heard him.
It seemed that they had not heard the emperor laugh so happily for a long time now. What had happened today?
The laughter was utterly joyous and heedless of one’s status!
What good had happened?
It must be something really amazing to have His Majesty forget himself in such a manner!
The emperor was still heaving from laughing so much. He had almost ran out of breath especially when the old marshal imitated how Yun Yang had berated the generals, how shameless he had been, how he had purposefully turned hostile and erupted in anger – making friends one moment while swearing at their mothers the next. The list went on.
