Chapter 464: Storm in the Western Regions
“Huh?”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in Deyun Temple.
Only Yu Qian'an smiled and stroked his beard, with a wise look that said, "I knew long ago that something was going to happen to you."
I don’t usually do live streaming, I’ll look for my brother when things go wrong.
snort.
"Hey, what's going on..." Lao Du handed over a glass of water from behind, "Come on, Seventh Master, have a glass of water, sit down and talk slowly."
"Thank you." Wang Longqi took the cup and took a sip.
Then, he sat down on the chair and sighed: "Ah..."
Lao Du got another bowl of soup from the side and handed it over, "Come on, Seventh Young Master, drink a bowl of hot soup and talk slowly."
"Thank you." Wang Longqi took the bowl of soup and drank it all.
Then he put down the bowl and sighed again, "Ah..."
At this time, Lao Du handed over a new bowl from the side, picked up a bowl of noodles, and handed it to Wang Longqi, "Come, Mr. Qi, eat a bowl of noodles and talk slowly."
Wang Longqi glanced at him and said, "Old Du, people only have one mouth."
Yu Qian'an naturally continued: "What about the other two hands?"
"What?" Everyone looked at him in confusion.
"Haha, it's okay, Xiao Wang, just talk. It's nothing more than that between a man and a woman. It's not uncommon for things to go wrong occasionally." Yu Qian'an quickly changed the subject and comforted him.
"Things are not that simple..." Wang Longqi's lips were still pale and he shook his head.
"oh?"
Yu Qian'an let out an amused exclamation, his eyes seemed to say, I want to see how complicated it is.
"I just returned home and my family told me that a woman came to my house two days ago with a child and said... this is my child." Wang Longqi began to tell the story.
"Isn't this good? Both mother and child are safe." said Lao Du.
Wang Longqi shook his head: "No, she is not the child's mother, but a wet nurse."
"Who is that?"
"It's... Ji Yuhuan."
"ah?"
This is indeed a bit shocking.
This name was not unfamiliar, and Li Chu remembered it immediately.
Last year in Shenluo City, when his soul possessed Wang Longqi, he saved a noble lady. Later, he found out that the noble lady was Ji Yuhuan, the sister of Ji Buying, the King of the East Sea.
She is a well-known widow in Shenluo City, whose six husbands have died in succession.
Wang Longqi, with his excellent fate and great sexual courage, quickly hooked up with this senior widow. However, neither of them had ever considered the issue of marriage, and it was a pure physical love.
Later, some minor accidents happened in Shenluo City, and the King of Donghai was brutally killed. Originally, Ji Yuhuan should have been the direct heir to the power and property of the Donghai royal family, but unfortunately she was a woman and did not have a strong voice.
An imperial edict was issued in Chaoge City, conferring the title of princess on her and sending her to the Western Regions as a marriage alliance.
In this way, the power and wealth of the East Sea Palace were directly taken over by the royal family of Chaoge City. Even if another East Sea King was sent in the future, he would only be a complete puppet.
The man Ji Yuhuan was given to marry was not an insult to her clan status. He was Bailang, one of the most powerful countries in the Western Regions, and a rising power this year. Bailang had a tense relationship with the Heluo Dynasty because of its expansion and occupation of the territories of some small countries that were friendly with Heluo. Sending a royal girl to marry at this time could ease the relationship between the two sides and eliminate border troubles.
Besides, Ji Yuhuan is well-known for being a jinx to her husbands. Marrying her to the White Wolf King... maybe there will be some unexpected gains.
A small imperial edict can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
"It involves diplomatic issues..." Lao Du nodded, "Then this matter is indeed very big... But how did this child get sent back to Heluo?"
Wang Longqi added: "It's really hard to describe."
It turned out that after Ji Yuhuan went to the Bailang Kingdom in the Western Regions, she did not disappoint the expectations of Emperor Heluo.
The Bailang Kingdom was mainly composed of the White Wolf Clan, a high mountain tribe in the Western Regions. They came down the mountain a hundred years ago. In just over a hundred years, they conquered the east and the west and annexed more than a dozen countries, large and small. This is how the Bailang Kingdom, which is now in its heyday in the Western Regions, was created. The whole country is martial and covetous, and the neighboring countries are all afraid of it.
After Ji Yuhuan left, the fourth generation White Wolf King felt that the Heluo court had shown weakness and was very happy. Although he vaguely heard that this woman had been married before, the White Wolf tribe was tough and never cared about this.
He treated Ji Yuhuan with great courtesy and built a temporary palace for her to live in. He planned to spend several months preparing a grand wedding to marry the princess from the Central Plains Dynasty.
As a result, before he could even get married, less than a month later, the fourth-generation White Wolf King suddenly suffered a stroke and died.
A happy event suddenly turned into a sad one.
The fifth generation White Wolf King who succeeded to the throne was the younger brother of the fourth generation White Wolf King. He made a prompt decision on this matter and continued to prepare for the wedding, and would start after finishing his brother's funeral.
The groom simply becomes himself.
Since he took over all of his brother's business, he had to take over everything, including his sister-in-law.
It doesn’t matter whether she is my sister-in-law or not. The White Wolf people are tough and never care about this.
So the preparations for the wedding continued, and another month passed.
The fifth generation White Wolf King also died.
The news released by the palace said that he died of illness, but it was widely rumored that he was poisoned by his own younger brother. This younger brother was the sixth generation White Wolf King who succeeded to the throne.
The sixth generation White Wolf King continued to make prompt decisions and continued to prepare for the wedding. He would wait until the funerals of his two elder brothers were over before starting again.
The groom just becomes him.
The people of the White Wolf Tribe are tough and don't care about this.
As a result, he only held the throne for less than a month.
The prime minister was a loyal dog of the fifth generation White Wolf King, who actually led the four-nation coalition to attack the White Wolf Kingdom. When the sixth generation White Wolf King led the army in person, he used a clever trick to trap him to death in front of the battlefield. Then he led his troops back to the capital of the White Wolf Kingdom and took charge of the government.
At this time, all three brothers had died, and there were no royal children of the right age in the court who could compete with the prime minister, so he simply deposed the royal family and proclaimed himself emperor.
Several powerful generals in the court were not happy with this. They fought a battle in the capital, but were ultimately defeated by the prime minister's power in the capital. They fled the city, returned to their own sphere of influence, and announced that they would not be loyal to the old prime minister.
Together with the four-nation coalition brought in by the old prime minister, they each annexed a piece of territory at a time when Bailang was facing internal and external troubles.
Such a great country in the Western Regions was torn apart into countless pieces in less than three months.
“Good fellow…” Yu Qian’an couldn’t help but shake his head after hearing this, “The monarch of Bailang Country loves my sister-in-law…”
"This is not the point..." Lao Du said weakly.
It seems that you have been listening for a long time, and this is all you can hear? "Oh..." Yu Qian'an turned around and asked, "How is this sister-in-law now?"
Wang Longqi then continued speaking.
Although the Bailang Kingdom was torn into pieces, the area around the capital was still under the influence of the old prime minister.
He still attached great importance to the Heluo Princess who came to marry him. This represented the recognition of the Heluo Dynasty and was also a proof of his own legitimacy.
But it would not be appropriate to marry her again.
No matter how tough the White Wolf people are, they will still have doubts in their hearts.
So he temporarily placed Ji Yuhuan under house arrest in the palace, not touching her or letting her leave. She stayed there for several months without showing up.
Little did she know that this was exactly what Ji Yuhuan had wished for. During her house arrest, she secretly did something big.
She gave birth to a child.
Hearing this, Yu Qian'an asked again: "We still need to confirm this matter first. Is this child really yours?"
Wang Longqi replied: "In terms of time, it's just right. From last year when I was in Shenluo City to now, it's been almost ten months. And... this child looks a lot like me."
Lao Du was puzzled, "How can you tell the resemblance between such a young child?"
"Yes!" Wang Longqi nodded heavily. "He doesn't like anything else but breastfeeding. He must have a nurse holding him in her arms all the time. He has to be held even if he doesn't want to be breastfed. He cries if she leaves him. After he came to my house, he must be held by a woman. Not by a man. He cries if he is held."
"Oh, then it's yours and it won't run away." Yu Qian'an said.
"Indeed." Everyone nodded.
Only Li Chu asked: "What are you going to do about this?"
Wang Longqi's eyes were firm, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If it were normal, it would be fine, but now that she is the mother of my child, I plan to..."
"Go to the Western Regions to save her!"
