"It is said that Prince Rui trapped the Great General of Wei, Wei Junzhuo, in Prisoner Dragon Valley for a full seven days. On the eighth day, the Prince, wielding the Black Dragon Crescent Blade, slew a hundred Wei vanguard soldiers with a single strike. He then fought Wei Junzhuo for three days and nights until the valley floor collapsed, and the sky fell apart. His men were long since battered, their armor broken, and Wei Junzhuo knelt, begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face..."
The audience applauded, and the storyteller took a big gulp of tea before continuing the tale of Prince Rui's battle with the Great General of Wei that he hadn't finished yesterday.
But their prince,
had already left the city.

"This is a sugar figurine from Magpie Street. Thank you, Princess Ning'an, for your help yesterday."
