"Not enough, house arrest isn't enough!"
Ji Yan had not slept for many days. Her eyes were bloodshot, her skin was still as pale as snow, and she looked sickly and manic.
The guards present trembled involuntarily, fearing that the tyrant would have a fit and kill them all as well.
Fortunately, Ji Yan still retained a sliver of reason. He casually dispatched two guards, his tone both manic and sinister.
"Go forth and slaughter the Hundred Ghosts Sect, or I will exterminate your entire clan!"
If Qinglang takes action, it will damage the reputation of the frizzy hamster, so let him do it.
Bodyguard: "..."
It seems His Majesty must be furious. They are all orphans; they have no relation to nine generations of relatives.
The Dragon Shadow Guards are different from ordinary guards; they are a secretive team created by the founding emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.
They were not required to obey every monarch.
The first generation of Dragon Shadow Guards has passed away, and this current batch can be considered as the adopted descendants of the first generation of Dragon Shadow Guards.
But Ji Yan didn't treat him like a human being. From the very beginning, he targeted the Dragon Shadow Guards. If they didn't obey, he would beat them until they obeyed his orders.
The Dragon Shadow Guard's fighting power was comparable to that of a hundred assassins, yet he was utterly defeated by an eighteen-year-old boy, leaving them no choice but to admit defeat.
All the capable leaders of the Hundred Ghosts Sect have been imprisoned by Qinglang; two Dragon Shadow Guards are enough to slaughter some minor soldiers.
No sooner had the two Dragon Shadow Guards left than news arrived about the reason why the Goddess was involved in the kidnapping of Shen Jiao.
This goddess had lofty ambitions; having tasted the sweetness of success from her high position, she naturally couldn't bear to fall. After Shen Jiao dealt with the cursed insects, she was able to completely save the people of Southern Xinjiang from superstition.
Even if some people still believe in her, they can no longer be as convinced and worshipful as they were at the beginning. Her influence among the masses has been declining, and the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang and the beauties of the harem no longer summon her frequently.
At first, the goddess didn't believe that Shen Jiao could resolve the matter of the Youlan River, so she remained calm. However, as things progressed, she began to panic.
If it weren't for Shen Jiao and her group appearing, her plans wouldn't have been disrupted, and she would have become the most sacred and unattainable being in the Southern Frontier.
As Shen Jiao rose through the ranks, gradually transforming from an insignificant nobody into the adopted daughter of the Gu family and Princess Ming Le, the world's attention began to shift.
On the day the Gu family held their banquet, the goddess was also present. When she saw Shen Jiao being fawned over by everyone, she was incredibly jealous. She believed that all of this should have been hers!
The thought flashed through my mind, but it grew wildly like a vine that had been fertilized, and I couldn't control it at all. The more I tried to control it, the more my ambition and desire swelled.
The Ghost Face Sect is the most evil sect in the martial arts world. As long as the money is right, they will take on any job, whether it's murder or arson.
The goddess initially wanted to kill Shen Jiao directly, but then she thought that would be too easy on her. Just then, another group of mysterious people approached her to cooperate.
She didn't know who the other party was, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so she instructed the Hundred Ghosts Sect to hand the kidnapped person over to another group in town.
The Hundred Ghosts Sect originally only wanted to make some money, but unexpectedly, they ended up destroying the entire sect.
As for the goddess, Ji Yan would not let her go either. Instead of letting her die quickly, he sent her to a dark and sunless dungeon.
What awaits her is endless torment.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates have spotted Master Gu and Young Master Gu in the southeast direction."
The area is near Qibei Mountain, so the guards dared not let their guard down and had to investigate the surrounding environment at any time.
A moment later, another guard hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Prince Shen has already gone up the mountain. Should I stop him?"
Although Ji Xiao was poor, he still had quite a few of his old subordinates. The terrain of Qibei Mountain was complex and could easily hide an army.
“No need.” Ji Yan’s eyes were deep. “Send an order to Gu An to come up the mountain tonight.”
...
Everyone was very worried about Shen Jiao, but in fact, although her life was not easy, it was not too difficult either.
The client asked her to treat this place as her own home, and since she was living under someone else's roof, she couldn't refuse the client, right? So, she kicked the client's concubine out of the room.
She had seen it all; apart from the client's room, the one occupied by the most favored beauty was the best in the entire complex.
"You, you, you..." The concubine was furious, her delicate pinky fingers twitching, "How dare you! Do you believe I'll have His Majesty chop off your head!"
The people here seem to have that serious mental illness. A down-on-his-luck former crown prince dreams of becoming the emperor, and his beloved concubine quickly gets into character, calling him "Your Majesty" smoothly.
Shen Jiao felt like she was playing house with adults, but on a low-budget version.
After all, I've never seen an emperor live in such poverty.
Shen Jiao smiled and said, "What kind of family fights like this? Remember to close the door when you go out. Good night."
The concubine was so angry that she pinched her philtrum, and in the end, she could only cry and complain to the client.
Ji Xiao hadn't expected Shen Jiao to take his polite remark seriously, but considering that Shen Jiao had provided him with so much useful information and was prettier than his beloved concubine, he tacitly approved of this behavior.
Once he defeats Ji Yan, bringing the dancer back to the palace would be a good option.
The concubine was so angry that she pinched his philtrum. What a vixen who came along halfway through her life!
Although Shen Jiao chose her beloved concubine's room, she didn't want to sleep in the bed where her employer and concubine had made love. She found brand new sheets and blankets and slept on the floor!
The New Year is just three months away, and these are probably items prepared by the concubine.
Shen Jiao has always had a good quality of sleep, but she hasn't been able to fall asleep for the past two days. The blanket is quite soft, but she feels like something is missing.
She wanted to go out for some fresh air, but the moment she opened the door, she was blinded by the gleaming knife.
