Rising Phoenix

Dynasties rise and dynasties fall, like the tide washing the sand. On one side, he suffers from intrigue and hides his great ambition; on the other, the mysterious girl hides her anger behind her gentle smile. Who toppled the country, establishing their dynasty? Who built the Yellow Springs and set it over Imperial Power, inciting strife and conquering the earth? Who exchanged gazes at the Nine Palaces to the sound of halberd and blood, watching the falling flowers of Acacia? Who drank the poisoned wine and smiled, trading it for a cinnabar dot to the chest? Tribulation and strife has destroyed past prosperity; he would not retreat, and she has not finished singing. .... Is she disturbing the earth world, or is the world disturbing her? This is a seemingly simple story about an era of recovering the old country and the fight for the throne, and the men and women on both sides. To conquer or resist; To push away or fight for chance. To provoke or to still; To love, or to refuse love.

Chapter 170

Translator: Aristophaneso

Zhou Xizhong's face was covered in ash and his expression as cold as ice; of course he did not actually tend the fire, but he also could not leave; so the poor, powerful officials had to squat in front of him, laboring over something they had never done before, suffering the sharp eyes of their boss.

In the main hall, Ning Yi drank tea with the South Sea Province's General Commander and Judicial Commissioner — as leaders of the local departments, the General Commander, Commissioner, and Judicial Commissioner were the provincial powers, but Zhou Xizhong dominated the region and had blocked news of the Imperial Envoys arrival. These two department heads had just been informed of Ning Yi's arrival and had rushed over.

When the two heads arrived, they were just in time to see Zhou Xizhong try to light the fire. They were both delighted, and General Commander Lu Bo called out insincerely: "We Minor Officials should also help."
