A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

Chapter 41 Sixth Prince, you're right here in the Central Plains!

A few days later——

Inside the camp where they rested in the Central Plains...

"Heavens! This is a blessing from heaven!"

Holding a finely crafted suit of armor, He Qiang exclaimed that in all his years of military service, this was the first time he had ever seen such exquisite armor.

Pei Yunjing held the Jingyun Flowing Light Sword in his hand. The hilt was made of pure silver and was engraved with intricate cloud patterns and dragon and phoenix totems. It felt cool and smooth to the touch.

A transparent gemstone is inlaid at the end of the sword hilt, as clear and sparkling as a morning dewdrop.

As the sword was drawn, its silvery-white blade immediately came into view, shimmering with a soft luster, like a cascading silver river, dazzling yet not blinding.

The blade was incredibly sharp, its edge gleaming with a cold light, as if capable of cutting through anything. The delicate patterns on the blade meandered like flowing water, both beautiful and enhancing the sword's toughness and sharpness.

The sword is of moderate length, neither too heavy nor too light, and has excellent balance when held in the hand.

The silver-white blade gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight, seemingly capable of purifying all filth, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

The scabbard, also made of silver, complements the sword perfectly, and is decorated with patterns that echo the hilt, creating an overall harmonious aesthetic.

"Brother Yun Jing, that Boss Xiao said that this sword is made of meteorite iron!"

Seeing Pei Yunjing's satisfied smile, Nian Nian felt a sense of relief. She rested her chin on her hand, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and softly asked:

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

Today, she got up very early, thinking that her grandfather would have a lot of things to do, but she didn't expect that Mr. Xiao from the weapons shop had already delivered everything.

Not only that, but Grandpa also specially asked Butler Liu to go out and purchase a large amount of rice, vegetables, meat and oil and other daily necessities as supplies to send to Brother Yun Jing.

However, my aunt has been acting strangely these past two days. While eating breakfast, she seemed to have lost her mind, and her behavior became odd.

Sigh, I don't understand either...

At this moment, Pei Yunjing suddenly picked up a piece of paper from the table next to him and gently placed it on the blade of his sword.

With a light flick of his wrist, the paper was easily split in two as easily as tofu, making a crisp "whoosh" sound.

Immediately afterwards, he flicked his wrist, and the sword swiftly returned to its sheath, the movement clean and efficient.

Pei Yunjing looked up with delight, his gaze softening as he looked at Nian Nian, a satisfied smile spreading across his face: "I love it! I love it so much, thank you Nian Nian!"

He said sincerely, and clasped his hands in thanks to Nian Nian.

At this moment, He Qiang's gaze was also drawn to the sword.

He walked up to Pei Yunjing in amazement, carefully examining the sword, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Sixth Prince, was this sword also a gift from the Immortal in the Mirror?"

He suddenly felt that the past thirty years of his life had been wasted. Only after accompanying the Sixth Prince this time did he truly witness the wonders of the world...

"Hmm... General He, send a few trustworthy people to guard these weapons carefully!" Pei Yunjing gently placed the sword in his hand on the headboard and hung it up.

Hearing this, He Qiang nodded vigorously, a determined look on his face, and his tone became serious:

"Alright, don't worry, Sixth Prince, our team will definitely defend you to the death!"

"To hell with the imperial court," he cursed inwardly.

In the past, when they followed General Bai Zhong, the Ministry of Revenue always tried every means to embezzle military pay. Fortunately, General Bai Zhong cared about the soldiers and subsidized the army with his own money; otherwise, they might have starved to death in the army long ago.

Now, although the imperial court verbally promised to provide disaster relief, in reality it was just throwing the sixth prince into the Central Plains in an attempt to silence the people.

Whether they survive or not depends entirely on luck.

After spending time together, He Qiang increasingly felt that Pei Yunjing was different from others, completely unlike those aloof and out of touch princes.

Suddenly, an idea came to mind, and he said solemnly, "Sixth Prince, if all else fails, you can just stay in the Central Plains!"

!!!

Upon hearing this, Pei Yunjing's expression changed instantly. He quickly raised his hand to cover He Qiang's mouth, his palm tickling from He Qiang's beard.

Pei Yunjing frowned and lowered his voice, saying, "General He, you can't just say things like that! The most important thing right now is how to deal with Aru Khan's campaign!"

He Qiang's words greatly surprised Pei Yunjing. He really did not expect that the other party would have such thoughts!

Just a few days ago, Pei Yunjing instructed his men to empty the tank of water where Gou Sheng had used medicine and replace it with clean drinking water.

However, despite this, some of the disaster victims remained restless and always seemed ready to cause trouble...

They either attempted to create chaos and panic by poisoning the water supply, or they deliberately provoked conflict with the soldiers.

However, these little tricks did not escape Pei Yunjing's eyes. He decisively seized those who led the trouble and beheaded them without mercy.

Pei Yunjing wanted to make these people with ill intentions realize that he was not a weak puppet prince who could be bullied by others.

"Brother Yun Jing... Brother Yun Jing..."

These urgent calls pulled Pei Yunjing back from his thoughts.

He looked up and saw that Nian Nian had sent him a tube as thick as an arm.

"What is this?" Pei Yunjing asked in confusion.

Nian Nian smiled sweetly, her bright eyes curving into crescent shapes, making her look exceptionally adorable. She said happily:

"Grandpa said that simply sending drinking water won't completely solve the problem. So, he asked me to connect a water pipe for you, so that you can have water for your daily life!"

Hehe, Grandpa is still the smartest!

"Hurry up, Brother Yun Jing, go get the bucket to fill it with water!" she said, impatiently stuffing the hose into the bronze mirror.

Upon hearing Niannian's words, Pei Yunjing's heart stirred, and a plan instantly came to mind.

He turned around and instructed He Qiang, who was standing to the side:

"General He, spread the word that we have unearthed a spring today. From now on, the disaster victims can come to the government office every day to fetch water for their own use."

Originally, these disaster victims could only receive one bucket of water per household for their daily drinking, but now the water problem has been solved.

To avoid attracting attention, they had to use the spring as an excuse to cover it up.

He Qiang immediately clasped his hands in response: "This humble general obeys!" After saying that, he turned and walked out of the tent.

Before his joy had faded, he quickly gathered his soldiers and, with a serious expression, asked loudly:

"Brothers, what do you guys think of the Sixth Prince?"
