Chapter 345 It’s good to fight
"You have no right to speak here, get out of here quickly." Emperor Su Ming didn't want to see him at all. Why did he come to join in the fun? He really didn't know how to live or die.
"I won't leave." Zhan Luochen said firmly. He followed Jiang Yunxi all the way and he was willing to stand on her side. Compared with his brothers, Jiang Yunxi would be better to the people.
"You, you, you, you rebellious son!" Emperor Su Ming widened his eyes in anger. This was the first time that someone disobeyed him like this. This Jiang Yunxi was really resourceful.
First, Zhan Beiyuan always made exceptions for her, and now even Zhan Luochen dared to talk back to him.
Zhan Luochen: "..."
He was just telling the truth, how could he be considered a rebellious son!
"Your Majesty, you were present at the agreement with the Imperial Master. I hope you won't stop it. Otherwise, how will the world view you as an emperor who is so dishonest?" Zhan Beiyuan said coldly.
Emperor Su Ming was furious and rushed towards him quickly, "Do you think I want to control you? The Southern Barbarians are coming, they won't let you break the formation."
He was just afraid that if a fight broke out, they would suffer.
Zhan Beiyuan frowned, "How many people from the Nanman came?"
"A lot. They have surrounded the East Palace. Now even I can't get in." Emperor Su Ming said expressionlessly. He didn't want to conflict with the Southern Barbarians.
"Father, you are the emperor, but you can't even go to your own East Palace. This is too embarrassing for the royal family." Zhan Luochen couldn't help but complain.
"You bastard!" Emperor Su Ming seemed to be hit on the mark, and kicked Zhan Luochen in anger.
Zhan Luochen: "..."
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Palace belongs to Tenglong Country. Nanman has no right to surround it, let alone prevent you from entering. This is Tenglong Country, not Nanman!"
Zhan Beiyuan was angry. What right did the southern barbarians have to come to the Tenglong Kingdom’s palace and occupy the East Palace?
"When Tenglong Kingdom was established, it was with the help of Nanman. As long as Nanman does not do anything to harm Tenglong Kingdom, we cannot ruin our relationship with Nanman." Emperor Su Ming said solemnly.
Because of this, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
"When the day comes that the Southern Barbarians want to occupy the Tenglong Kingdom, it will probably be too late for you to resist." Zhan Beiyuan said coldly. If they retreat, it will only embolden the Southern Barbarians.
Emperor Su Ming frowned, "Impossible, the Nanman would never do that. They just want to guard that altar."
"They say that the suppression under the altar is a big devil, but it's clearly not the case. Maybe without that altar, the Tenglong Congress would be even more powerful."
Zhan Beiyuan said coldly, he even felt that the altar had affected the destiny of Tenglong Kingdom.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Emperor Su Ming's mouth twitched slightly. The more he spoke, the more outrageous it became.
"If the emperor doesn't dare to confront the Nanman, then I will do it. I must make Jiang Yunxi break the formation tonight. I'll take my leave." Zhan Beiyuan said and left.
"Your son will take his leave." Zhan Luochen bowed and quickly followed.
Emperor Su Ming: "..."
These two people.
He had to go find his father quickly.
Defu Palace.
"Father, my royal brother and his men have returned and are trying to break into the Eastern Palace and break the formation. You should go and persuade them." Emperor Su Ming looked at the retired emperor who was sitting leisurely reading a book.
"Why do you want to persuade me?" The emperor looked at him calmly.
Emperor Su Ming was stunned. "With so many people coming from the Southern Barbarians, if a fight really breaks out, they will definitely suffer."
The emperor smiled deeply and said, "It's good to fight."
"Father..." Emperor Su Ming's mouth twitched slightly. Why did he feel that the father was just watching the fun and not minding the trouble?
"The Southern Barbarians have gone a bit too far this time. It's okay that you and I didn't take any action. Let them make trouble. As for who will suffer the loss, we don't know who will suffer the loss yet." The emperor said meaningfully.
Beiyuan and Yunxi returned to the capital, which meant that they had found the seven formation points, which meant that they could break the formation in the altar.
That formation was set up by the first high priest king of the Nanman.
The fact that Yun Xi was able to break this formation showed that she was extremely powerful. She might not suffer any loss against those old guys from the Southern Barbarians, and might even win.
Of course he hoped that she would win, as winning would just be a good way to dampen the arrogance of the Nanman.
Although it was indeed with the help of Nanman that Emperor Shengyuan was able to establish the Tenglong Kingdom, it now seems that Nanman's decision to help was not without ulterior motives.
The Nanman had intended to establish the Tenglong Kingdom and had the Tenglong Kingdom build its capital here. Finally, they deliberately built an altar under the East Palace to suppress it.
From the very beginning, the Nanman treated everyone in the capital as pawns.
They used everyone's lives to morally blackmail those who wanted to break the formation, but they probably didn't expect that Yun Xi actually found seven formation points, and they must have encountered obstacles along the way.
Although he really wanted to see them and hear about what happened to them along the way, he wanted to let them do their business first.
Emperor Su Ming understood. It turned out that his father also had opinions about what Nanman did this time. "Your son knows what to do. I will go to the Eastern Palace later."
"After this incident, we can just maintain superficial friendship with the Nanman." The emperor said after thinking for a while.
"Father, what are you doing..." Emperor Su Ming was surprised.
The retired emperor snorted coldly and explained to him in detail what he had figured out.
Emperor Su Ming was shocked after hearing this.
"Do you still think that Nanman was sincere in helping Emperor Shengyuan?" the retired emperor said coldly.
"What exactly are the Nanman going to do?" Emperor Su Ming was horrified. So are they all pawns? What is being suppressed under the altar?
"As for why the Nanman set up that altar back then, just let Yun Xi break the formation and we'll know." A faint smile appeared on the face of the retired emperor.
"What if there is some evil thing suppressed down there..." Emperor Su Ming was still very worried.
The Emperor stared at him coldly, "After understanding Nanman's original selfish motives, I am more willing to trust Yunxi."
Emperor Su Ming: "..."
Why do everyone believe Jiang Yunxi?
But after hearing what my father said, we do have to be on guard against this southern barbarian.
…
At the gate of the palace.
Zhan Beiyuan told Jiang Yunxi about the imperial study.
Jiang Yunxi smiled calmly, "I knew that someone from the Nanman tribe would come, but now the emperor won't let us into the palace..."
"I'll take you in. I'll take care of anything that happens. We must find a way to break the formation tonight and get your soul. You don't have many days left." Zhan Beiyuan didn't want to waste time.
Jiang Jingyan opened his eyes wide, "What do you mean by only a few days?"
Qianheng also heard this, "Who has only a few days left?"
"New Year's Eve is just a few days away, let's go to the palace." Jiang Yunxi said calmly. She wanted to meet those southern barbarians and see what they were here for.
Jiang Jingyan: “…”
Qian Heng: "..."
The guards at the door wanted to stop them, but after Zhan Beiyuan drew his sword, they could only step back and make way. Then someone quickly went to the imperial study to report and wait for the emperor's instructions.
Without the emperor's order, they naturally did not dare to take up weapons and attack.
Jiang Yunxi and his group arrived at the East Palace in a grand procession. In addition to the royal guards, there were many people wearing exotic costumes at the door.
Ruan Kun quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings, King Han."
Zhan Beiyuan nodded and walked straight towards the gate of the East Palace.
"Stop, you can't enter without the elders' permission." A southern barbarian stepped forward and stretched out his hand to block Zhan Beiyuan's way.
