Chapter 416 The Situation is Dangerous
Chapter 416 The Situation is Dangerous
The night wind blew slowly into the bustling dormitory. The dormitory, which should have been a charming one, was now covered in blood. Behind the screen dotted with red stains, Chu Yanqiu stood among a group of corpses, slowly wiping the blood from his hands and sword. Shen Wen, who was curled up beside the bed, was sweating profusely and looked at Chu Yanqiu's back with a pale face.
Perhaps there was too much blood on his hands and sword, and Chu Yanqiu couldn't wipe it off, so he simply gave up. He threw down the sword and turned around to look at Shen Wen.
His eyes were gentle again, and he said to her, "Are you scared? It's okay, just wait for me, I'll go wash up, and I'll hold you and take a nap. Just be good here and don't run around, okay?"
Shen Wen followed Chu Yanqiu's walking figure without blinking, watching him go to the back room next door. The curtain was lifted and swayed, and soon the sound of flowing water was heard.
When Chu Yanqiu came out of the compartment again, all the bodies that had been killed had been dealt with, and the endless bloodstains on the ground were covered by a large snow-white animal rug.
Chu Yanqiu picked up Shen Wen, who was shivering from the cold and curled up on the bed, and then the two of them fell onto the animal rug on the ground with great freedom and ease.
Chu Yanqiu placed his beloved beauty in his broad arms, and then gently caressed her cool and smooth body.
that's it.
After the sudden bloody farce ended, the romantic and beautiful spring night began to climax.
As the night was drawing to a close, the man who was already sound asleep on the animal rug was completely unaware that the woman he had loved so much all night had her gums bitten in pain and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth.
Shen Wen was like a dying cat, and only he could fully understand the mixed feelings of pain.
Every moment of their lovemaking, she struggled and resisted. The more she resisted, the more pain she felt. With her crippled body, every tiny bit of resistance was met with even more tearing pain. Even the force he exerted on her when he was excited was enough to cause the pain of the wound being torn open.
Shen Wen was in so much pain that her consciousness was blurred. However, she could still clearly hear the words Yuchi Lian said to her: "We will make you die hundreds of times before I can relieve the hatred in my heart."
"So... am I going to die?"
Shen Wen's heart began to rise and fall more and more faintly, and then gradually subsided...
At the same time, another person who was sleeping soundly was suddenly awakened by an ominous premonition.
He came out from the bright yellow quilt and called out to his personal eunuch several times through the bright yellow bed curtains.
The young eunuch quickly lit the bedside lamp, knelt at his master's feet, and asked, "Master, did you have a nightmare? Let me bring you a cup of tea to calm you down."
As he spoke, another young eunuch who was serving at his side that night had already brought the poured tea to him.
The young emperor took the cup of water and drank a few sips. Only then did he feel a little relieved. He lay back on his bed and asked the young eunuch why Eunuch Guo was not waiting for him. The young eunuch said, "It is my turn to be on duty today. If the master wishes to summon me, please send for Eunuch Guo immediately."
The emperor waved his hand and asked them to leave. The crystal chandelier beside the bed was still on. The flickering light and shadow made His Majesty the Emperor on the bed look even more worried.
His soul power was getting weaker and weaker. In recent days, he was sleeping during the day, and the real little emperor was in charge of the day. He was only awake for a short period of time at night.
It has been like this ever since the battle with Yuchi Lian in the palace that day. I really hate that female immortal who caused trouble.
And there are those cunning foxes in the West Palace. They are so admirable gods that they can only slip away when disaster strikes.
My thoughts went back and forth, and just as I was thinking about this and that, a gust of cold wind blew over for no apparent reason.
The woman's voice reached his ears leisurely. She said, "So this is all you can do. If I had known this earlier, why would I have treated you like a formidable enemy?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the person appeared before her.
The emperor was so frightened by her sudden appearance that he fell off the bed.
He pointed at Yuchi Lian and said in a trembling voice, "Isn't your true body buried underground? Are you a human or a ghost?"
Yuchi Lian was amused by his embarrassed look. After she had laughed enough, she said, "I didn't expect you were afraid of ghosts. Don't you see that you are a ghost yourself?"
His Majesty the Emperor was almost broken by her and was gritting his teeth.
Yuchi Lian straightened up and said calmly, "Alright! Let's stop chatting here. Your Majesty must also know that it's wrong to always cling to the human world. This country is no longer your era. Your forced stay here will only accelerate the demise of the country."
How could His Majesty the Emperor be willing to leave? His cheeks twitched, and he spoke with resentment and resentment, "It was I who brought the Great Jue Kingdom into a prosperous era. Without my influence on the entire Great Jue nation, the Great Jue Kingdom wouldn't even be the Great Jue Kingdom. How could my era disappear? I will live forever."
How could Yuchi Lian listen to his nagging? He took out a sword and slashed at the emperor with almost all his life's strength.
His Majesty the Emperor was swept by her dazzling sword like a hurricane. He dodged the first move, but took the second one head-on. His original god in the human world was instantly shattered and dissipated.
The battle between gods and ghosts in the secular world is nothing more than a strange spectacle that appears out of thin air in the eyes of mortals. One cannot see the fighting scene, nor can one hear the truth of the matter.
So the emperor's bedroom was still the same as usual, and the eunuchs outside were still nodding and dozing off as usual, like roosters eating rice.
Yuchi Lian, who had transformed into an invisible being, walked past them silently, as unnoticed as a breeze.
Yuchi Lian went to the tiankeng where her real body was buried. She stood at the edge of the tiankeng with a determined look on her face. She knew that she would be able to rescue her real body soon. She was extremely looking forward to fighting with the five immortals of the West Palace again. She would definitely not be tied up by the five immortals in such a miserable way.
The next day, the little emperor regained his body and felt more fulfilled than ever as soon as he opened his eyes. Accompanied by eunuchs, he got on a sedan chair and rushed to the front hall to handle government affairs at dawn.
Unexpectedly, just as the sedan chair moved a few steps, a general came crawling to the emperor and burst into tears.
The young emperor summoned him to question him. With tears on his face, the iron-blooded man replied, "Your Majesty, the situation is dire. The war at our borders is severe. Fighting is raging in all four directions, east, south, west, and north. Five hundred thousand mercenaries from the Northern Barbarians have invaded our borders. The Southern Barbarians have also betrayed us and invaded our borders, already capturing three cities on our southern border. Furthermore, the Jin dynasty to the east has also occupied our border towns outside the Great Wall. The southwest coast has also been attacked by pirates, and all the coastal islands have been occupied. Your Majesty, quickly gather capable individuals to lead the troops under the command of the various generals to recapture our territory."
The little emperor opened his mouth wide, completely stunned. He didn't know...
Wasn't he just having a good sleep? How did it suddenly turn out like this?
The personal eunuch called him several times before he hurriedly ordered the sedan bearers to go to Taihe Palace.
When they arrived at the front hall, several important ministers who had received important border control plans were already standing in front of the imperial desk, pacing anxiously.
When they saw the little emperor, they seemed to have found their backbone and asked him what to do.
Numerous major events that happened throughout the day were like earthquakes, which shook the entire court. All officials, big and small, in the entire capital and the entire country were busy sweating, mobilizing and cooperating, and responding to the orders that were issued one by one.
Lord Chu Yanqiu, who had caused a stir in the court yesterday, was like a small wave hidden in the storm. Compared with the major events leading to the destruction of the country, he, a violent but good minister who executed important and criminal ministers first and reported them later, was ignored by all the civil and military ministers.
Chu Yanqiu appeared to be sitting in his own Dali Temple to try cases, but in fact, he was busy secretly mobilizing forces in various border troops and expanding the scale of the Ji family's hidden power in the army so that he could control the overall situation at the critical moment.
Just after the fifth day of hurried work, news first came from outside the northern border to the capital.
The urgent secret letter said that just when the Thirteenth City in the Northern Frontier was about to be lost, the separatist Xiliang City suddenly sent out three thousand chivalrous soldiers from the Jianghu, who defeated the invading army of the Northern Frontier with a small force and forced them to flee in panic.
Just after I finished reading the urgent secret letter, I received another urgent secret letter. After the Western Liang Army defeated the enemy, they did not occupy the border town, but handed it over to the Da Jue soldiers. The letter also specifically mentioned that the general who handed over the border town was named Chu Feihe, who was the deputy general of the Northern Army's governor-general. Because the governor-general Qi Feilong died in the battle between the generals, this deputy general Chu Feihe temporarily took up the banner of the Northern Army. Everything was a coincidence.
The northern border was barely at peace when news arrived from the southern border that the Nanfan Kingdom had withdrawn its troops. It turned out to be civil unrest within the Nanfan Kingdom, a struggle for the position of Saint. The previous Saint's whereabouts were unknown, leading to the Nanfan Kingdom's treacherous ministers usurping power, violating their non-interference agreement with the Daju Kingdom, and invading Daju territory. Later, it seemed that another powerful goddess' bloodline had been brought back from the Qianfeng Mountain Immortal Gate. If nothing went wrong, this Immortal Gate's female lord would be the next in line to assume the position of Saint.
As the little emperor listened to the reports from the ministers below, the figure that lingered in his mind was the immortal ancestor of the Ji family and his good minister Chu Yanqiu.
Currently, only the eastern and southwestern borders were still experiencing fierce fighting. The young emperor discussed with the court officials which two people should be sent to lead the situation in these two areas. The court officials spent the morning recommending their own candidates. The most popular candidate was Ji Ziyin, the eldest son of the Ji family. Qi Feihu and Lu Da, who had been retrieved from Slit Mountain, also received some praise and recommendations.
Even at this critical moment, no one mentioned the extremely arrogant Lord Chu, who was related to Ji Ziyan by blood, as if they had forgotten that he was also an important figure who could participate in court affairs.
The young emperor made a decisive move while everyone was arguing. He appointed Qi Feihu as the commander-in-chief of the eastern border, and Ji Ziyin as the deputy commander-in-chief. He also appointed Lu Da as the commander-in-chief of the southwestern border. Lu Da was the descendant of the previous commander-in-chief of the coastal area, so he was the most suitable person to go.
After the matter was settled, an imperial decree was immediately issued, and the ministers were released from the palace by the little emperor.
At the same time, Chu Yanqiu, who was sitting in the Dali Temple, had already known the result at the first time and sent everyone in the room away. A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Yanqiu's mouth.
At this moment, a woman walked out silently from the small room behind him.
