Carefree days were always short. Ten days later, an imperial edict arrived at Cloud City. Emperor Hongzheng first praised Jing Shao lavishly, then ordered him to lead his troops to the southeast to immediately subdue the revolt of the Southeast King, who was sheltering traitors and had tried to assassinate a prince. Along with the edict came the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who had been dispatched to temporarily take over the administration of the southwest fief.
The southwest had always been ruled by vassal kings. Now that it had suddenly returned to the control of the imperial court, there were hundreds of thousands of things to do. The emperor had already given the governor a secret order earlier on to take over the duties in the southwest once the rebellion was put down. The governor had thought that it would take at least a year or two, but never expected that it would only take the Cheng Wang two months to accomplish it. The governor's gray-flecked beard was quickly going to turn completely white.
Jing Shao was very glad that his Imperial Father didn't have him stay to deal with government affairs. He patted the governor, who had a miserable expression, and on that very day, set off with an indifferent air.
The southeast fiefdom wasn't connected to the southwest, but was separated by the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi. These two provinces had always been the home of exiles. The cities and towns were scattered, sparsely populated, and looked quite desolate, but the scenery was very beautiful. There were many high mountain ranges with varying peaks, clear streams, and waterfalls; it was truly a feast for one's eyes.
In autumn, the weather was no longer so hot. When the scenery was good, Jing Shao pulled out the person in the carriage to ride Xiao Hei with him. Because the little tiger cub had gotten fat again, Jing Shao refused to let it mount the horse, so it could only aggrievedly slump against the window and look out.
The right protectorate general looked at the military advisor who was leaning comfortably against the Wang Ye as his back rest. After riding for several days, his own back couldn't help but ache. The left protectorate general saw him moving about on his horse, and gradually leaned over. "If you're tired, ride with me."
During a rapid advance, when they had to move quickly day and night without stopping, they would ride the same horse and take turns resting, so the left protectorate general's suggestion wasn't too strange, but...
When the right protectorate general heard these words, he finally realized something. "The relationship between Wang Ye and I is like the one between the right and left protectorate generals" – the Wang Fei's words from that day still echoed in his ears. He looked at the two people in front of him, and then looked at the expressionless left protectorate general. It seemed like he had suddenly been struck by lightning, and he almost fell off his horse.
"Who says I'm tired, go away!" The right protectorate general waved the left protectorate general off like a fly, then spurred his horse forward to catch up with Zhao Meng, who was in front of him.
It wasn't too far a distance, but the mountains were high and the bodies of water wide. They had to take a roundabout route for more than half a month before they arrived at Liang Yi Mountain.
In the beginning was the Supreme Ultimate deity, who created Liang Yi.
Liang Yi referred to Yin and Yang. Liang Yi Mountain was named as such because, like Yin and Yang, there was a tremendous difference between both sides of the mountain. On the southeast side, it rose from a small hilly area with an imposing air. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, one would only feel that this landform hid the sky and covered the earth, omnipotent and heart-rending. Liang Yi Mountain was thus named as a symbol of Yin and Yang.
