Eternal Painter Swordsman
127. The South West Gate
Huang Xinxin did not interact with anyone throughout the trip nor did she eat or drink, this made everyone who came back feel worried but at the same time they also realized what Huang Xinxin was feeling so that no one forced her to eat or drink, either, including Zhou Man.
Although he was worried but Zhou Man was aware that he would not be able to replace Ming Yue in Huang Xinxin's heart.
Seeing Huang Xinxin cry like yesterday seemed very painful to him, besides he also realized, no matter how much he tried, he still would not be able to rival Ming Yue.
Not only had Huang Xinxin suffered a huge blow to Ming Yue's death but there were countless grieving warriors. For those who lived with great struggle on the battlefield all year long, they had only one goal: to provide peace and security for the Empire.
When they were on the battlefield, it was already pointless whether they came from respectable families or not, they were all already like brothers.
When one goes then their friend will look for their body to take home but some do not have a whole body so they bring their friend's sword.
The way to mark which one was their friend's sword, they carved their name personally on their sword just like Ming Yue did.
All the soldiers who accompanied their return to the capital used white ribbons on their heads and also showed no happiness at all for their victory.
The fall of Ming Yue showed that they had already collapsed entirely, Ming Yue was like a huge umbrella that was paddling them from the rainstorm and the heat of the drought.
This of course hurt many people, when they returned, they were greeted by the cries of many people and also some flowers.
It was just that people were confused as to why the soldiers came back with white ribbons on their foreheads as a sign of mourning.
In the end Huang Xinxin stopped her horse carriage and walked out to say a few words.
"Everyone, please pay your last respects to our hero, Ming Yue. He has fallen in battle this time and will not be able to help the border anymore. " Said Huang Xinxin.
Everyone suddenly fell silent and no one pushed each other. Everyone knelt towards the horse carriage and kowtowed.
"General Ming performed countless blessings for our Jiu Empire, he deserves this honor !" Excite people.
Huang Xinxin nodded before there was finally an old woman who gave her a flower.
Huang Xinxin looked towards the old woman with a question mark look, she did not understand the meaning of the flower.
"This flower signifies strength, at this time our Empire is experiencing a great disaster and the pillars of our Country have collapsed next door. " Say the old woman.
"What does the pillar of State mean already collapsed next door ?" Huang Xinxin asked somewhat anxiously, somehow her instincts told her that this was not a good thing for her.
"Didn't the lady know ? The Southwest Gate was declared defeated and taken over by bar men with the three leaders killed. " Say the old woman.
