The surface of frost grass was covered in an extrely shallow surface of white wool, which was precisely the part that Dragonhorses enjoyed eating the most. The grass after the sandstorm was covered in a dusty coat, but this was true dust, so the horse herd had no place to start eating. They had stood around the stream and looked for a very long ti until they had seen everything there was to see. In the end, they could only helplessly turn around and return.
Anyone, whether man or horse, would be unhappy after being presented with a great feast that they were unable to take a single bite of. If they were to see soone laughing happily at this mont, they would inevitably assu that the person was ridiculing them. Regardless of what that person might have thought, it was very obvious that the horse looking towards Chen Changsheng was thinking this.
It suddenly charged towards Chen Changsheng.
As the most outstanding warhorse, the Dragonhorse, no matter how awful its temper, would never randomly strike out against soldiers. The soldiers were well aware that this Dragonhorse only wanted to give Chen Changsheng a fright. Usually, this sort of playing around wouldn’t even be worth their attention, but when they thought of how Chen Changsheng had still not recovered and had only just regained his ability to walk, they still warily gripped their staves.
What happened next surprised everybody.
The Dragonhorse did not continue charging forward. When it was still ten-so zhang away, it slowed down into a trot. Its head swayed side to side as if extrely confused, its nostrils constantly flaring as if it was slling sothing, the sense of mischief in its eyes quickly replaced by a desire to be friends.
It trotted up to Chen Changsheng and deferentially lowered its head, apparently wishing for Chen Changsheng to stroke it.
The remaining Dragonhorses noticed this activity and began running over, just like the first Dragonhorse. They circled around Chen Changsheng and very carefully began to rub against him, finding it very difficult to suppress their happiness. A bolder Dragonhorse even sneakily licked the hand that Chen Changsheng was using to hold the tree branch.
Upon seeing this sight, the soldiers of Sloping Cliff Horse Farm were utterly flabbergasted, their laughter having stopped long ago. Just what was going on here?
At this mont, the leader of the herd, the finest Dragonhorse of them all, pushed through the surrounding horses and ca up to Chen Changsheng. It humbly bent its forelegs and kneeled on the ground.
It was apparently asking Chen Changsheng to mount it, or perhaps asking Chen Changsheng to grant it his blessing.
Gasps of shock rose from the surrounding crowd.
Standing on the outskirts, Luo Bu was no longer smiling. He quietly gazed at Chen Changsheng in the center of the herd, a pensive look on his face.
......
......
On the sa night, the starlight remained the sa as ever, a pot of at soup was still boiling on the stove in the room, and yet it was not as noisy as it had been the past few nights.
There was no soldier of Sloping Cliff Horse Farm chatting with Chen Changsheng in the room, as he had a guest tonight.
Luo Bu glanced at Nanke, who was by the stove staring at the pot of at, then turned to Chen Changsheng on the bed. Without any attempt to hide his intentions, he straightaway declared, "You are naturally not an ordinary person."
Chen Changsheng thought of that essentially perfect array laid out amongst the fields and that study room, and returned, "You are naturally no ordinary person either."
Luo Bu stared into his eyes and asked, "Your falling down from the mountain has nothing to do with ?"
"Nothing." Chen Changsheng calmly returned the stare and said, "From a certain perspective, I truly am a pharmacist."
Luo Bu calmly asked, "So in your stroll around Sloping Cliff Horse Farm, did you see what you wanted to see?"
Chen Changsheng very sincerely answered, "I did."
"What did you see?"
"I saw that this place called Sloping Cliff has a great general."
Luo Bu fell quiet for a while at these words, then said, "Directly state your aning."
Chen Changsheng looked into his eyes and requested, "I want to invite you off the mountain."
Off what mountain?
The vast mountain range of Mount Han.
Beyond Mount Han was the snowy plains, the true battlefield against the demons.
Chen Changsheng continued, "I don’t know if you’re aware, but Ning Shiwei is dead, so the Mount Song Army requires a new Divine General."
Luo Bu fell silent, then asked, "Is my understanding correct? You admire so much that you have decided to push onto the position of Divine General of the Mount Song Army?"
Chen Changsheng said nothing, tacitly affirming that this truly was what he thought. At the sa ti, he noticed that although Luo Bu had been demoted to the remote Sloping Cliff Horse Farm, he seemingly had a grasp of news from the Mount Song Army headquarters and from even higher-level places. This made him even more curious to this person’s background.
"Even a pharmacist is able to decide who becos a Divine General. I can roughly understand why the Great Zhou Dynasty is going downhill."
Luo Bu looked at him and smiled. "So are you soone from the Prince of Xiang or the Tianhai clan? Or are you a secret agent from that Daoist monastery in Luoyang?"
The secret agents of that Daoist monastery in Luoyang ntioned here were those blue-clothed Daoists standing at the venerable Shang Xingzhou’s side.
After two years, Chen Changsheng felt a little emotional to hear his master brought up once more.
He did not explain his origins to Luo Bu, nor did he explain why he wanted to do this.
Because he did not represent the Prince of Xiang, the Tianhai clan, or any faction in the Great Zhou Imperial Court. He represented the Li Palace, the Orthodoxy, the world.
He was the Pope, so he had to bear the weight of the world, so it was only right that he ponder the future of the Human race.
In his view, a person like Luo Bu being left in a place like Sloping Cliff Horse Farm was truly a waste as enormous as the heavens.
"I basically understand what you’re thinking. ’Waste of talent’, ’unrecognized’ and all those other banal phrases."
Luo Bu calmly said to him, "But you don’t know that I ca to Sloping Cliff Horse Farm to seclude myself. Perhaps it might be better to say that I was forced into seclusion, but it was still sothing that I accepted."
Chen Changsheng seriously said to him, "If you were forced here by external pressures, perhaps I can help you resolve so of it."
For so reason, the more serious Chen Changsheng beca, the more relaxed Luo Bu looked. Perhaps it was because he was thinking of those serious companions of his, which made him recall that ti in which sword Qi filled the mountains. He subconsciously looked at his own chest and thought to himself, in the end, there are so matters that I have to resolve on my own. S so he shook his head.
"I don’t like trouble."
"I also don’t want to give you any trouble."
"So I will not leave the mountain."
Luo Bu calmly and concisely ended their conversation over this, then said, "In another two days, when your injuries are better, I will have soone send you off."
Chen Changsheng thought this over, then said, "Very well. In the future if you have a problem, co and find ."
Luo Bu smiled. "I don’t like finding others—it’s quite troubleso."
These indifferent words of his concealed an extrely elegant self-confidence, just like the signatures on those two paintings.
Chen Changsheng replied, "The favor of saving a life must be repaid."
Luo Bu replied, "Do whatever you please, there’s no need to say it."
Chen Changsheng replied, "A friend taught that there are so matters that should be done if they need to be done, but it’s even more important to talk about them if they need to be talked about."
Luo Bu felt that these words were rather aningful and replied, "That friend of yours is either a false gentleman or a truly low person."
Chen Changsheng thought of that friend that he had not seen for two years and had not received a letter from for half a year. Concern suddenly bubbled forth from his heart and beca impossible to suppress.
He explained very sincerely to Luo Bu, "That friend of mine is a false low person and a true gentleman."
Luo Bu laughed at his words, then he turned to Nanke and asked, "Is she really your younger sister?"
A deeper aning lay in these words.
Chen Changsheng heard this aning loud and clear, but he could not abandon Nanke, so he nodded his head.
"At tis, a liar is not necessarily an ignorant and fake person. On the contrary, they might be a true person."
Luo Bu smiled at him and continued, "I don’t know who you are, who you represent, or whether you an good or bad, but I know at least that in this aspect, I deeply admire you."
The room fell quiet, the only sound being the gurgling of the at in the pot.
Nanke ladled out a bowl of at soup and walked over to the bed.
Hurried footsteps ca from outside the room.
The door to the room burst open and a bodyguard charged in, shouting out sothing in shock, completely unaware that he was about to run into Nanke.
