The Rise of Phoenixes

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 92

Young Master Gu's whistle flew over the academy and through Mount Song to the skies above Dijing ten miles away. After a while, the citizens of Dijing no longer needed the watchmen's call, and after a while, there was no longer any need for His Majesty's Morning Drum, for Young Master Gu's whistle was good enough.

All students woke at fifth watch and lapped around Mount Song. Weakness was accepted, but never laziness — the Academy's physician followed the students in a carriage, and anyone who dared fake illness would receive a walnut gift from the Vice Headmaster's retainer, Young Master Gu.

The countless lazy students had their faces struck and covered with the remains of delicious walnuts.

After the run, all students were gathered to practice Chinese Boxing. With the military expert Feng Zhiwei invited to instruct her students, the military students soon discovered that there was suddenly a group of students even fiercer than them.
