The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 46 - Young General.

"Yi'er.we should go home," said Zhi Yuan, making Dewi Zhang a little surprised because he was called with a new name.

For a moment the woman just froze, because this was the first time anyone had called out with that title, the woman blinked her eyes as if she had realized.

"ehemmm.. it's good, alright, we're home," Goddess Zhang's voice was a little nervous.

The days passed without any visible progress from Zhi Yuan, yet Goddess Zhang Ziyi did not give up, the woman always ordered Zhi Yuan to try to love her behind Wu Xiang Yu. Wu Xiang Yu who already knew the plan of Goddess Zhang Ziyi was only pretending not to know.

And as his efforts came to fruition, Wu Xiang Yu also felt a change from Zhi Yuan, the young man never spoke rudely to her again, and as if accepting the matchmaking, was, it made the woman's heart a little comforted.

Every winter they would spend time together in the Dong Chu pavilion,

"Aahhh, but the business of breaking a woman's heart like it would be difficult, hahaha," said Dewi Zhang Ziyi, laughing with her heavy voice, revealing her beautiful neat teeth, and quickly covered his lips with his finger back.

Wu Xiang Yu's eyes widened, and always asked so in detail, about what the young man was doing.

"Sister Ziyi, is that boy really holding your hand? tell me what he said?" wu Xiang Yu asked as if impatient.

"Sister Wu, calm down!!! I'll tell you everything, right, she did her, her face flushed, aahhh I almost laughed looking at her, and also a little pity on the boy, she was so forced to do all my orders," said Goddess Zhang Ziyi, smiling back in light of the incident.

"Sister Ziyi, why is your face blushing as well? and look nervous?" asked Wu Xiang Yu frowning.

Goddess Zhang Ziyi was slightly surprised not to expect Wu Xiang Yu to read her expression.

"ehemmm.... Wu's sister are you jealous?" ask Goddess Zhang Ziyi.

Wu Xiang Yu's face became solemn, his hand holding the hand of Goddess Zhang Ziyi.

"Sister Ziyi, it would be a lie if I said I wasn't jealous, because I'm really jealous of you, how not to worry, a woman as perfect as you is teasing my future husband" Wu Xiang Yu said.

Goddess Zhang Ziyi smiled gently and stroked Wu Xiang Yu's face, and wiped Wu Xiang Yu's tear with her thumb.

"Pacify yourself, you have the beauty of the Fire Phoenix Goddess, your beauty is so unique and humans are almost impossible to match her, besides the fire in your body makes every man will burn his passion when he looks at you, once the seal is off you two will be happy, I will return you my realm, my, you have sacrificed so much for her, I hope that the young man will repay all your sacrifices" said Dewi Zhang Ziyi.

"Sister Ziyi, you don't embarrass me" said Wu Xiang Yu covering his face with both hands, his face slightly reddened, but Zhang Ziyi's words were indeed true, since he was 17 years old, her body was so tall that it was even two centi taller than the 180 centi tall Goddess Zhang Ziyi, and by the time she turned 20, her hips became quite wide and her buttocks were pulled up perfectly, make it while walking like a tiptoe, and look the gap between the two thighs even when the long legs are being tightened.

Four years on, Zhi Yuan had already broken through to the realm of second-rate king cultivators. And for the past four years, Zhi Yuan's forces in the old forest were over 5 thousand people who were divided into eight hiding places, he said, this army was so disinclined by either the Yuan kingdom or the opponent because of its ability to destroy the enemy's strategy.

This army is very difficult to conquer because they do not have to force themselves to finish off the incoming enemy, they are so loose in attacking, and only attack from a favorable position only, making this army never takes a lot of casualties, it is ironic for the outermost troops but with the least number of casualties, he said, and in the past year, the troops led by Zhi Yuan have been able to scuttle the logistics sent by the Kingdom of Wei to their border fortress, making the border troops of the Wei kingdom foggy because there was not enough supplies, making them delay the attack to the East Gate.

Achievements for this achievement so often in the people of Longyan city, a city behind the fortress of the East gate, for the first time they feel safe, because there is never heard of damage in the fort again, he said, the story began to spread throughout the kingdom, even though his name was so famous, but only a few people knew the dazzling face of this great General.

In the Yuan Kingdom palace, it began to be heard from the spies that the border troops of the Wei kingdom had already drastically reduced, many of them starved, even the relief forces from the Qing empire were unable to do much, not even, and there was news early next year that Zhi Yuan's forces would attack behind the border fortress of the Yuan kingdom, and just wait for the approval of King Yuan.

This fact made King Yuan's spirit ignited, which originally had its defense almost destroyed, now turned impenetrable, and would even attack, which originally had its defenses almost destroyed, now turned impenetrable, the trial in the grand hall of the Yuan Kingdom was so hot and became two opposing camps.

"Your Majesty the King, this is a good opportunity, according to the spies, at this time their border troops are so weak" said a young general so excited.

"General Liu, don't be rash, it's very risky, don't you remember tens of thousands of our troops were destroyed in the old forest at the beginning of this war, but it's very different the last eight years, not to mention the tens of thousands of our troops that were destroyed in the old forest.The battle was very different, only young General Zhi Yuan is the only person capable of defending our fortress for nearly eight years untouched, if now we give his consent to his attack, sure are you General Liu, if this isn't a trap?and what if that army fails and young General Zhi Yuan is killed, tell me who's capable of matching his ability to line our fortress?" said a minister who looked so old.

King Yuan nodded his head, though,

"You two are right, at the end of this year send my invitation to General Zhi Yuan, I would like to thank him directly, I am so satisfied with his work, my burden has been lifted thanks to this young general, minister royal secretary, give my orders!! give a proper reward, for eight years this man has shown his quality, appointed young General Zhi Yuan to be the supreme leader in the East Gate, and his duty is only to defend the fortress, he said, let the other troops who attacked the enemy fortress" said King Yuan, and all the officials at the place kneeled while praising the wisdom of their leader.

On the other side Zhi Yuan was better known by the many nicknames of the Eastern Gate Guard, or the Snow Picker, and also the demon fog cultivator, as well, even the Qing Emperor himself was very curious about this figure, because the Emperor had several times caught the Ming Advisors who were usually always calm in every matter, looking uneasy when he heard the name mentioned.

Many rumors say that the eastern gatekeeper mastered the sword techniques of the Snow-Peaning God that had been lost thousands of years ago, so the technique was very difficult to find his weaknesses, he said, even some generals and cultivators in the king realm had to die while dealing with that young man.

And that day, the 90th day of autumn, in the year of Kirin fire, Zhi Yuan half knelt near the face of General Qing Chen, who was lying on the ground with blood pouring from his chest. (i.1)

"And you're right, I.... Zhi Yuan, the Eastern Gate Guard," said Zhi Yuan, leaving Qing Chen to lose his life.
