Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Chapter 239 Xiyan surrenders the country

In the dark secret room, Huangdi was drowsy. He was open-minded and thought that since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. Apart from being a little darker, this place was no different from Xiaoyueding to him. He was alone there.

But, maybe I am really old and always miss the past

"A-Lao, if I can get out alive this time, I will return to Xiyan Mountain to accompany you. For so many years, I have never dared to see you. I always felt that I was not wrong and that everything I did was worth it. But what Xiaoyao said is also right. I just wanted to satisfy the desire in my heart. They say that a general's success will last forever, but I, an emperor, used the flesh and blood of my closest relatives. I know you don't want to see me, but I want to be shameless. I have always wanted to save face and never admit my mistakes. Although I don't want to admit it, if Xiaoyao wasn't so strong, I still wouldn't admit my mistakes. Winners are kings and losers are bandits, I accept it. I hope to give me a chance to repent. If you want to see me in the underworld in the future, you can beat me or scold me as you please. You should be very proud that an old man like me was dealt with by your own granddaughter, hehe..."

"I might disappoint Grandpa. I told Grandma and my uncle and aunt before that I would take them away. Grandpa didn't cherish them when they were alive, so he has no right to repent in front of them after his death. My grandmother once said that she never wanted to see you again."

A tear slipped down his cheek. The joy he'd felt upon hearing Xiaoyao's voice dimmed after hearing what she had said. So, this is what it felt like to be abandoned by your loved ones. A'la resented him, A'heng didn't want him, and Xiaoyao hated him. He was destined for a life of loneliness.

“You’re here…”

There was no surprise, he had known this day would come.

"Yeah, thanks to your grandson, I'll take care of your mess!"

"Thank you for your hard work. How is Xuanxuan?"

"It depends on whether Grandpa wants him to live or die. He's determined to die now, and there's no way to stop him!"

Xiao Yao shrugged, looking helpless. She really hadn't expected this to happen. She hadn't checked what was going on with Xuan yet. In order to reduce casualties, the best way was to let Xiyan take charge and deal with all this mess. It would be even better if she could make room for him. She really didn't like war, nor did she like being an emperor, but there was no way. She had people she wanted to protect and secular rules she wanted to break. She had to stand in the highest position and let her be the only voice in the wilderness.

"What's up with him?"

Huangdi knew Xiaoyao well. He was definitely not someone who would commit suicide easily. For centuries, he had endured countless taunts and oppression as a hostage, yet he had never considered suicide. Even after becoming King of Xiyan and discovering that everything was a setup by Xiaoyao to retaliate against him, he hadn't considered suicide, nor had he considered retaliating. This clearly shows how much Xiaoyao held a special place in his heart. Why would he seek death when Xiaoyao was still alive and well? He must have been eager to see the day when Xiaoyao would become the common ruler of the world.

"Things are quite complicated. Grandpa should come forward to take charge of the situation. Xiyan is leaderless right now. If you really don't want to take care of it, I can just attack directly! It should be quick, less than ten days..."

Xiao Yao opened the prison door with a wave of her hand, walked forward, and took the initiative to help Huangdi walk out of the cage in the secret room.

"You never thought that Grandpa would be imprisoned one day, right? Back then, I was also imprisoned by Grandpa! I had no spiritual power at all, but Grandpa still locked my hands and feet. What a turn of events. How does it feel?"

Huangdi paused, patted Xiaoyao's hand with his wrinkled hands, and smiled bitterly with apology.

"not bad."

"It seems that Grandpa is really kind-hearted. I'm not as open-minded as you. After taking a bottle of poison, he doesn't want to care about anything anymore. In the end, he even risked his life to save me. I owe him this. Can Grandpa help me?"

"Okay, okay, Grandpa will grant you your wish..."

"Grandpa, if you don't mind, I'll take Grandma home and we can come live together..."

“No, no, I don’t mind…”

Huangdi lowered his old brows and turned his head away, not daring to look at Xiaoyao. The better Xiaoyao treated him, the more he felt indebted. Even if Xiaoyao scolded him, beat him, or wanted to kill him, he could still remain calm. But this girl was still too soft-hearted, which made him even more ashamed.

The white light was dazzling, and Huangdi subconsciously raised his hand to block it. It took him a while to slowly adapt to the outside world.

Xiang Yao stood in front holding Xiao Yao in his hand. When he saw Huang Di coming out, he just nodded slightly without any greeting. It was not that he was arrogant or rude. Instead, for those who had hurt Xiao Yao, he did not kill them, which was the greatest respect for them.

"Are you Xiang Yao? The one who came back from the previous life?"

"Yes!"

"Yes, I admire you very much. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to recruit you."

"I'd rather die than surrender, Your Majesty, please don't waste your time."

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad! Let's go, my old bones are still useful."

Huangdi glanced at the distorted face of Xuanxuan and knew what was going on. He didn't ask any more questions. With Xiaoyao's help, he walked past Xuanxuan, paused, and sighed.

After all, he wasn't firm enough. Once a person has inner demons, they are more easily controlled. But who doesn't have inner demons in their life? He didn't blame Xuanxuan. He had done well.

"grandfather…"

Did he disappoint Grandpa again?

"Grandpa doesn't blame you. While you're still conscious, please issue an imperial decree! I'm tired and want to rest."

"it is good!"

"Stupid! Crazy, you are all crazy!!"

Who would do such a foolish thing as to give up their country? To give up the power that they have worked so hard to obtain is either crazy or stupid!

"Shut up! I told you you're too noisy. You won't feel any pain unless you get a beating!"

Xiaoyao slapped Xuanxuan on the face. For a moment, not only Tushan Patriarch was stunned, but Xuanxuan was also stunned.

"Xiaoyou, see if it can be saved?"

The ghost fire of the underworld followed Xiao Yao's slap and silently penetrated into Xuanxuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

Patriarch Tushan suddenly felt a terrifying energy entering Xuanxuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Don't come over here, if I die, he won't be able to survive!"

The ghost fire from the underworld emitted a purple-blue light, circling around the two souls for several circles, and it understood everything.

Xuanxuan's soul was protected by the Emperor's Aura. Although Tushan Patriarch said they died together, that wasn't necessarily the case. Without it, there was indeed no solution, but what was it! It was a ghostly fire that specifically purified evil spirits! Every ghost feared it, and Tushan Old Ghost was no exception. As ghosts, they had to obey it.

Patriarch Tushan cannot leave the physical body of Xuanxuan, and it is the imperial aura that suppresses him, but Xuanxuan's soul is not as strong as Patriarch Tushan, which has led to the current situation!

"It can be saved, but it will take some suffering. The master's brother may be in a coma for a while after separation."

"Let's divide it!"

In a clearing on Shennong Mountain, waves of ghostly howlings echoed. Should a soundproof barrier be set up? Otherwise, rumors of ghosts haunting Shennong Mountain would spread! The voice of Tushan Patriarch was truly too terrifying.

After half a day, Xuan was carried away in a miserable state. As for the decree, only the Yellow Emperor could come in person.

The next morning, an imperial decree was issued that shocked the entire Xiyan.

"The new Xiyan Emperor was brutally murdered by Tushan Patriarch, and his life and death are now uncertain. For nearly a month, the actions of the Black Emperor were manipulated by Tushan Patriarch. Chishui Fenglong and Shennong Xinyue, in collusion with Tushan Patriarch, attempted a rebellion, secretly led troops to attack Haoling, and even used evil formations to cause floods and harm the people. An investigation revealed that the facts were true. Princess Haoling was resourceful and kind. She discovered and stopped Tushan Patriarch from using the corpses of soldiers to practice magic, and even prevented the flood. She set aside past grudges and came alone to rescue the Black Emperor and the Grand Master. The Black Emperor had previously issued an imperial decree that if he were to be harmed, the throne of Xiyan would be passed to Princess Haoling. Xiyan generals must not disobey the imperial decree and must not attack the Haoling local soldiers. Xiyan will be handed over to Princess Haoling. Those who violate the order will be beheaded! Chishui Fenglong and Chenrong Xinyue colluded with evil spirits to cause the tragic deaths of 250,000 soldiers! They will be executed. Paraded through the streets and executed in the autumn!"
