Chapter 462: Western Shu Perversion
Chapter 462: Western Shu Perversion
After receiving the letter from home, Xiao Tiandao did not stay any longer. He said goodbye impatiently and started on his journey to the fairyland.
Madam Xia warned loudly, "Be sure to pay attention to safety. Are you so anxious that you don't bring any food?"
The little figure paused for a moment. Xiao Tiandao was very conflicted, but in the end, power triumphed over his foodie heart.
Holding back the pain, he responded loudly, "No, Madam, save it for me first, and I'll come back to eat it when I take the position of the Heavenly Dao Patriarch.
Woo woo woo..."
It made everyone laugh and they thought he was so cute.
I was even more looking forward to bringing the letter from home to Ning Bao. It would be great if the guardians such as Chi Yan could come home for a visit.
However, everyone just thought about it in their hearts and no one said it out loud, so as not to upset their parents at home.
The two people from the Northern Dynasty were as worried as they were.
When Zhen Yuer hurried to the palace, she saw the empress standing outside looking at the sky.
"Here I am. Do you want to send a letter to Ning'er?"
She ran over holding her dress, looking exactly the same as she did a few years ago before she got married. Time had been very kind to her and had not left any trace on her face.
"I wanted to send it, but we are a bit far from Nanxu. Even if there is a way over there, it would be too late to write it and send it over."
"Indeed, if we had known earlier, we should have moved the city. It's too late to say anything now."
Zhen Yuer, who was beside her, was speechless when looking at her. Sometimes she had no doubt that her friend didn't want to be an empress at all.
If Ning'er were still alive, she would definitely give the position of empress to her directly.
"Hehe... What's that look in your eyes? Is it so obvious that I want to go out and travel?"
She nodded. "Yes, it's very obvious."
Finally, the two of them discussed it and decided to write two letters and send them to Nan Xu. However, by the time the Prime Minister's Mansion received the letters, it was too late. This is a story for later.
Now that there are three kingdoms, the most embarrassed one is Shu. Back then, they were making some small moves in the middle, and were discovered by Xia Yining and were given a good beating.
Originally, they wanted to just fight and retake it, but the emperor and princes of Western Shu were flexible and they immediately promised to be obedient and pay tribute every year.
At that time, everyone in the capital was looking forward to her return, so they temporarily made peace and did not continue the war. This matter made the people regretful for a long time.
I thought the eldest princess was powerful enough to conquer West Shu, but unfortunately...
A few months after the death of Emperor Xia Yining of Western Shu, he was forced to abdicate by the Crown Prince, who said it was for his own good and wanted him to learn from the Emperor of Western Shu and retire early to enjoy his old age.
He was kept in a small courtyard in the palace, and the prince killed many of his brothers to ascend the throne.
When he learned the news about Nanxu and Beichao, his eyes were full of ambition and calculation.
“What do you think? If I send a princess to Nanxu for marriage, will the new emperor be very proud and accept her directly?
When the time is ripe, I will let the princess poison him to death, and I will lead the army to attack the capital of Nanxu directly.
When the time comes, I will kill everyone and I will be able to unify the world, hahaha..."
Everyone in the room shuddered when they heard this. In fact, they didn't care who was the emperor, as long as they worked for the country and the people.
But no one wants a crazy emperor.
He secretly took a look and realized that the emperor almost scared the officials of Xishu to death. He knelt on the ground trembling and hurried to persuade them.
“No, Your Majesty, don’t forget that Nanxu is the goddess’s territory. If she comes back and sees you starting a war.
By then, Western Shu might be destroyed. I dare to ask Your Majesty not to have such dangerous thoughts."
These words immediately angered the Emperor of Western Shu. He was so angry that he threw the teacup beside him.
"Do you think I'm not good enough? Can't take down Nanxu? Haha...
If you were not from Xishu, you would have run to Nanxu to become its lackeys.
Did you think that the people were living a better life after Qian Dongli surrendered? Did you have any idea about this?
The goddess has been gone for many years, and in my opinion, she will never come back.
After all, who would come down to earth if the gods have returned to the fairyland? I must attack Nanxu."
He glanced gloomily at the court officials kneeling on the ground, feeling proud in his heart.
Now he is the emperor of Western Shu. No one dares to disobey his orders. If there is no other way, they will all be killed.
Anyway, there are plenty of people in Western Shu. If he supports some more officials to come to power, they will all be his people by then.
All the officials were trembling with fear. They wanted to say something to persuade him, but when they looked up and saw his expression, they shut their mouths.
Everyone in Western Shu knows that the current emperor is cruel and will kill people if he disagrees with something.
Everyone wants to live a good life, after all, there are many family members and clans left behind.
I was just silently wondering in my heart whether I should send my family away early so that if a war really broke out, I could still preserve a trace of the family bloodline.
The brave ones thought more. While sending the people out, they also wanted to send a message to Nan Xu. They hoped that Nan Xu would be able to protect his family a little bit because of the message.
Perhaps the Emperor of Western Shu was too arrogant, and he did not take the officials' small thoughts seriously, thinking that these people could not escape his control.
He didn't know that that night many men in black quietly came out of the homes of many officials and carefully climbed over the city wall.
It was a coincidence that everyone met each other. The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while. Many people in black did not take action because they kept the idea of not taking action unless the enemy took action.
After an unknown amount of time, someone cautiously asked, "Are you all going to deliver a message?"
Although they still had some concerns in their hearts, the others whispered back, "Yes, you all?"
[Yes, yes, yes, the master said that we must pass by as soon as possible, and we dare not delay on the road. ]
[+111, maybe they are worried that the emperor might go crazy. ]
[Hey~~~ The people have had a hard time in recent years. If there is a war, they will have no way to survive. 】
[I agree. Although we are the secret guards of a wealthy family, we cannot bear to watch the common people live in dire straits.]
[Since we are all going to the same place, why don't we go together? We can take care of each other on the way. ]
[If the emperor wanted to be on guard, he would have sent out the palace secret guards to ambush us on the road. We can protect each other together.]
[Okay, let’s go now.]
The Emperor of Western Shu, who was still abusing his beloved concubine in the palace, never expected that the officials would be so bold as to directly betray Western Shu.
He was waving the whip in his hand and beating the pretty woman until she was covered in blood and lay on the ground with only her last breath left.
Seeing that she could no longer scream, the Emperor of Western Shu felt that it was really boring. These noble ladies couldn't stand playing.
He threw the whip to the ground in disgust, put on his clothes and went back to the imperial study with his people.
When the palace maids kneeling outside the door saw him leave, they all breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the house with red eyes and helped the woman on the ground up.
"Miss, please hold on. I will call the imperial physician right away."
