Chapter 335: Prince Yuewu
After Luo Lingyue exchanged the Li sisters for the Emperor and Empress of Youli, she immediately arranged for someone to escort them back to the capital. She knew that these two people were of noble status and their safety must be ensured.
So, a team of elite soldiers acted quickly and carefully escorted the emperor and empress to the capital.
After dealing with this matter, Luo Lingyue and Xiao Jinghan began to look for Jia Guang's whereabouts. However, Jia Guang seemed to have disappeared without a trace. They traveled through the streets and alleys, mountains and wilderness, not missing any possible clues, but they still found nothing.
Just when they were fighting fiercely with Chu Chengli's troops, the prince of Yuewu Kingdom unexpectedly led his army to launch a fierce attack on Nanyi. This sudden change caught everyone off guard.
After Emperor Wu learned of this, he quickly sent someone to pass on the order, asking them to temporarily put aside the pursuit of Chu Chengli and Li Mingfu and instead concentrate their forces to support Nanyi. Xiao Jinghan accepted the order without hesitation, and immediately led the army with Luo Lingyue to rush to Nanyi.
Along the way, the soldiers were in high spirits and marched with determination, knowing the importance of this mission. Xiao Jinghan prayed in his heart, hoping to reach Nanyi in time to stop the enemy's attack and protect the safety of the people. Luo Lingyue followed closely beside him, with a firm gaze, determined to deal with this crisis with him.
Chu Chengli looked into the distance with a relieved smile on his face: "Xuemei and Xuelan are really our lucky stars! Yesterday they told me that they felt the child kicking them, but I didn't expect Xiao Jinghan to retreat today! It seems that Xiao Jinghan is also worried about Jiaguang."
Li Mingfu frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "Yes, but we still can't find Jia Guang. If he is here, why should we be afraid of Da Zhao's troops?"
Chu Chengli patted Li Mingfu on the shoulder and consoled him: "Mr. Jiaguang must have his own affairs to deal with. I believe he will show up at the critical moment. Moreover, we have received the good news that Xiao Jinghan has withdrawn his troops, which is already exciting enough."
Inside the Yuewu Palace, the Emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, angrily questioning: "What is the prince doing? How dare he start a war against Da Zhao without my consent? Go! Call the prince to see me immediately!"
Soon, a eunuch came hurriedly and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
The emperor's face turned even uglier when he heard this, and he said coldly, "Let him in."
Huyan Rujun walked into the hall and saw the emperor's angry expression. His heart sank, but he remained calm.
As soon as the emperor saw Huyan Rujun, he cursed: "Rujun! Do you still have me, your father, in your heart? Declare a war against Nanyi? Has your brain been eaten by a dog?"
Huyan Rujun bowed his head and said nothing. The emperor continued to scold him: "Do you know how much impact this war will bring? The relationship between the two countries will become tense, and the people will be plunged into dire straits. As the crown prince, don't you know these consequences?"
Hu Yan Rujun finally couldn't help but explain: "Father, I had no choice but to make this decision. Nanyi has been eyeing us covetously. Their troops have been mobilizing frequently, and they obviously have some plans. If we don't take action, I'm afraid we will suffer greater losses."
After hearing this, the emperor calmed down a little, thought for a moment and said: "Even so, you should have discussed it with me first, instead of making the decision on your own. You must reflect on this matter carefully and don't make the same mistake again. If you do it again, I will depose you!"
Huyan Rujun had a gloomy face, his complexion was as black as the bottom of a pot, and a slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "How dare you disrespect me!" He bent his five fingers into the shape of claws and grabbed the emperor in mid-air!
The emperor was caught in mid-air by him, his eyes were full of fear and despair. The terrible person in front of him was definitely not his son Huyan Rujun!
The emperor's body was twisted by the prince's powerful true qi to the point that it was almost unrecognizable. He struggled in pain and said with difficulty: "Who... who are you? Where is my... Rujun...?"
Huyan Rujun laughed crazily: "Haha! I have already torn your son into pieces and eaten him up! Hahaha!"
The emperor felt as if his soul was being pulled out of his body. He begged for mercy in horror: "Please... let me go!"
Huyan Rujun had a ferocious face and a crazy light in his eyes as he walked towards the emperor step by step, with every step carrying a strong killing intent and determination.
"You beg me now? It's too late!" His voice was low and threatening, as if it came from the depths of hell.
As he finished his words, the emperor's body suddenly lost support and fell to the ground with a bang.
At this moment, Huyan Rujun's body began to change. A black smoke emerged from his body and gradually gathered into a cloud of mist. The cloud of mist rolled and gradually transformed into the appearance of a strange man.
This strange man had a stern face, his eyes revealed an unspeakable evil, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.
"Hahahaha...now I am the real crown prince of Yuewu Kingdom, and the Huyan royal family will become my puppets!" His laughter echoed in the palace, making people feel creepy.
His gaze turned outside the hall, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Next, it's your turn..." He muttered to himself, with a cunning light in his eyes. He seemed to be planning how to deal with the people outside.
The whole scene was filled with a terrifying atmosphere, making people shudder, as if a terrible nightmare was about to happen.
Overnight, all the members of Yuewu's royal family turned into puppets without independent consciousness, like zombies. Their eyes were empty, their movements were stiff and mechanical, and they had completely lost themselves.
The next morning, the atmosphere in the court was extremely solemn. Huyan Rujun sat steadily on the dragon throne, his face was frighteningly gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a sinister light. He said in a sinister tone: "Your Majesty is seriously ill and unable to handle state affairs. From today on, I will be the regent!"
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked. They looked at each other, their hearts filled with anxiety and doubt. However, Hu Yanrujun did not give them too much time to think, and immediately issued an order: "Grand Marshal, listen to my order, I command you to lead your troops to attack Beiliu immediately! You must take Beiliu in the shortest possible time!"
The ministers were in an uproar and began to discuss. At this time, the Prime Minister stood up and advised: "Your Highness! It is not appropriate to act so hastily. Attacking two countries at the same time will inevitably plunge the people into the chaos of war! Please think twice before acting!"
Huyan Rujun looked at the Prime Minister coldly, with a sneer on his face: "Prime Minister, what do you mean? Do you want to disobey my order?"
