The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 70 - A new era of the Qing Empire

Drizzle began to fall flushing the city of Jingyang, things that never happened during the winter, such as the sky was sad and warm to make snowflakes become water, the snowflakes become water, the water soaked the face of a woman who looked up, cleaning the bloodstains from the face of a man who was asleep on her neck, her cries did not stop like they were not willing to part with it.

"su-ami I lost you without saying goodbye to me, isn't this so painful," Wu Xiang Yu lowered his head and hugged Zhi Yuan's body, they fell silent in wet clothes, like enjoying their last night.

A soldier shouted from behind,

"Zhi Yuan is a traitor, we were ordered to hang his corpse at the gate of Jinyang city," the soldier shouted.

The suddenness of the remark made Wu Xiang Yu's eyes open, and looked at the soldier who spoke.

"Sleep my husband, let me take care of these dogs for you" said Wu Xiang Yu, his eyes reddened and filled with anger.

"slaaasshhhhh,"

A sword slashed at the head of the talking warrior, and the culprit was a man with only one hand, that man was Liu Yen the twin dragon sword.

"If anyone wants to do it, it's better that person has more ability than me" Liu Yen said.

And the man approached Zhi Yuan's body, while removing the black knot of rope under his chin, to remove the royal official's distinctive head covering.

"He is much younger than me, but even to the end of his breath this young man still holds his weapon, he is a true General, the hero guarding the East gate, miss let me pay my last respects, and after that you can kill me" said the man, nicknamed the twin dragon sword.

"Seeing your abilities, all of you are not opponents of my husband, you will not be able to kill him, even to make him kneel you will not be able to," said Wu Xiang Yu who knew the ability of Zhi Yuan from the story of Goddess Zhang Ziyi.

"Miss.you are very right, General Zhi Yuan has been poisoned while fighting against me, otherwise his sword will not slip, and I will not be able to speak at this time," Liu Yen said

Wu Xiang Yu looked towards Liu Yen, who was already kneeling ready to pay his respects,

"Wait, my husband is the son of a slave, do you still want to prostrate and salute? and call me Lady Zhi," said Wu Xiang Yu, and stroked Zhi Yuan's hair on his shoulder like the young man was still alive and just asleep.

"The son of a slave?" said a soldier behind Liu Yen, but some of the other senior-looking soldiers began to follow Liu Yen's steps, removing their head protectors, and began to kneel.

Liu Yen looked at all his subordinates and nodded as if agreeing with what his subordinates were doing.

The man kowtowed to pay his last respects, and all the soldiers in that place also did the same, they cut off the ends of their hair and kowtowed.

The full moon illuminated the night that had crawled to change its morning color at the east end.

The sun appeared to melt the snow, the seasons began to change, the rain grew weeds on the edge of the tombstone, and the dance of dried leaves fell to cover the pile of land resembling a small mountain, the year also moved, now that the Dong Chu pavilion had become a cemetery guarded by everyone, in the area where Zhi Yuan knelt last time, two large tombs, which were so well preserved, were seen, one by the name of Zhi Yuan and another by the name of Wu Xiang Yu, the place was so roomy because the whole weed was neatly cut off, and leaving the chimeria trees to be silent witnesses of the events of that night, the, not far from the two large tombs there are 118 small tombs, almost every day there are people who come just to want to know the tomb of the Legend.

A year later, King Yuan was devastated by the death of General Zhi Yuan, and the scapegoat for General Zhi Yuan's death was the leader of the Iron Bull Bureau. The enraged Yuan King immediately dispersed the Iron Bull Bureau and executed several people involved in the assault on the Dong Chu pavilion that night, only for Liu Yen the leader to escape to the Qing Empire.

Without a person able to read the strategy exactly, the 5 thousand troops of the fortress upholstery were destroyed in 3 months, making the eastern gate fortress start to falter, he said, almost the entire Yuan kingdom army was already deployed to hold the east gate, but the increasing number of enemy troops made them so desperate.

at the southern end of the Qing Empire, in a beautiful lake decorated with black stones, some leaves of the Golden lotus flower began to expand, and that place was the peak of the Huanlun mountain where the Jade palace was enthroned. huanlun Mountain had the greatest power in the entire Qing empire, the four elemental palaces under the Jade palace were impregnable fortresses for thousands of years.

A few female servants in the Jade palace immediately brought news of the Golden Lotus to the Qing Empire, and quickly the news sounded in the ears of Advisory Ming.

And as per the woman's prophecy, when the Golden lotus grew in the Jade palace then the west gate had already lost its guard, in just eight months, Those 100 thousand Qing Empire troops had already entered the west Gate, and the next three months the Yuan kingdom had to be destroyed.

Not only did it get there in the next three years, by the forces of the Qing Empire the Wei kingdom was also erased from history, and it was already an irreversible prophecy, because if it wasn't the Qing Empire that did it, then Zhi Yuan was the one who leveled the kingdom, and a new era had stood that was fully controlled by the Qing empire.

10 Years after the Legend's death, a 9-year-old girl is entering the main hall at Jade's palace, the little girl being escorted by Counselor Ming.

"Miss Zhou Lu Zi, I can only escort you here, the gate will open if you are truly chosen, he said, in addition to the clothes on your body leave all your valuables in this place, if you succeed I'll come pick you up in this place in 28 years," advisory Ming said as he pointed to a large mirror that did not reflect the image of the room but not the image of a human.

The little girl simply nodded, and stepped onto a table near the giant mirror, putting down a black-colored badge. and unhesitatingly approached the mirror and branching threads began to appear and emit rays filled the entire periphery of the mirror like lightning and the little girl entered and vanished in the mirror.
