Huo Mingliang, who had not been remembered for a long time, was still a little dazed when he was dragged out of the cell. When he really stood in the sun, the dazzling sunlight made it impossible for him to open his eyes. After he saw a bright light in front of his eyes and felt the burning sensation of the sun on his body, he was finally sure that he had walked out of the dungeon without sunlight alive.
When he wanted to feel it again, someone pushed him from behind. He staggered two steps before he stood firm. Then a clear voice came:
"The Queen has ordered that you be allowed to return to Panlong Kingdom with the envoys of the Panlong Kingdom peace talks. I hope you will take care of yourself."
Huo Mingliang was stunned for a long time before he realized that he was going to be sent back to Panlong Kingdom, but what was the point of going back now? It would be better to stay here, at least there was still a way to survive.
But he had no say in the matter. He was pushed onto a carriage, and after a whip sounded, the carriage set off. After fifteen days of non-stop riding, it finally arrived at Longling City where the border commander was located before Huo Mingliang was about to fall apart.
At this time, General Fengdi was meeting Zhang Zhang in the main tent. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he said to Zhang Zhang with a fake smile:
"Since the envoys from Panlong Nation are so sincere, it would be good for our Fengqi Nation to not express our intentions."
After he finished speaking, he waved to the people around him. Under Zhang Zhang's puzzled gaze, the fifth prince who had lost an arm, Huo Mingliang, was brought into the tent. When their eyes met, Zhang Zhang subconsciously called out:
"The fifth prince?"
Huo Mingliang didn't expect that after leaving the cell and rushing here day and night, he would be sent back to Panlong Kingdom. His face was a little numb and he didn't know what expression to show.
"Hey! What does General Fengdi mean?"
Zhang Zhang coughed and asked.
"This is the fifth prince of your country! Don't you recognize him? We didn't hire anyone to pretend to be him. It's just that our queen was soft-hearted and let him live until now. Your emperor should thank his fifth brother, otherwise he would not have the chance to sit on the throne!"
Fengdi said sarcastically.
“.”
Zhang Zhang was also speechless. He had not expected that there were diehard followers of the Fifth Prince lurking around the late emperor. If it were not for the news of the Fifth Prince's failed assassination attempt, perhaps the favorite concubine would continue to lurk. It was hard to say who would end up being the winner.
"We have shown our sincerity, now it is time to talk about the conditions for our ceasefire."
Feng Di didn't let Huo Mingliang leave either, and asked him to stand aside and listen to the negotiation between the two.
The more Huo Mingliang listened, the more frightened he became. He had never seen the sun in his cell, and there was no one to talk to, let alone any news. Only then did he realize that Panlong Kingdom was almost finished and was being attacked by the other three countries.
This matched the content of the novel he had read. Fengqi Kingdom still existed, but the one that was about to perish was Panlong Kingdom, which he was most optimistic about. He was a little panicked and didn't know what the point of his traveling here was.
After the negotiations between the two parties ended unpleasantly, Huo Mingliang was also pushed out of the tent. When he came to his senses, the cold-faced female coachman who drove the carriage to bring him to Longling City walked straight towards him.
Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, he took out a palm-sized bright yellow talisman paper from his arms and slapped it on Huo Mingliang's forehead at lightning speed. Then he quickly withdrew his hand and looked at Huo Mingliang who was confused and said:
"The Queen asked me to tell you that everything in the world has its own laws of development. If you, an outsider, want to interfere, you will have to pay a price. Considering that you haven't caused a big disaster yet, the Queen is just teaching you a lesson this time. Slowly experience the process of your own demise!"
After saying this, he curled his lips into a cold and contemptuous smile, then turned and left.
When everyone looked at Huo Mingliang again, they found that there was nothing on his forehead, and turned their attention to General Fengdi.
General Fengdi pretended not to see it and returned to the tent with his men. Anyway, the men had been handed over to Zhang Zhang, and the rest would be decided on the battlefield.
Huo Mingliang looked a little dazed from the moment he was pulled onto Zhang Zhang's carriage. He had a feeling that he was seen through, as if the Queen knew his origins, which made him feel a little creepy.
When the new emperor returned to Panlong Kingdom, he looked at his fifth brother who was skinny, had lost an arm and looked dazed. As well as the failure of the negotiations, he could not suppress his anger and drew his sword to kill Huo Mingliang.
Huo Mingliang only felt a flash of cold light before his eyes, and then he found his head flying up. The last words he heard were: Throw it to the mass grave! Don't get in my way here!
Huo Mingliang's body was wrapped in a mat and transported to a mass grave on a tattered cart. He was thrown there casually, and then everything returned to normal.
Huo Mingliang was horrified to find that his consciousness was extremely clear. He knew very clearly that he was dead, but he could not leave this body.
On the second night, his clothes were taken away by someone, who kept saying:
"Brother, please don't blame me! We have been fighting all the time. We have been scrimping and saving to supply the soldiers at the front, but we ourselves have nothing to wear and we don't have enough food to eat."
He could feel his body slowly rotting, with insects and ants drilling into his corrupted body. Under the sun and rain, his bones were slowly exposed. Then more corpses were thrown in, crushing and burying his fragile bones. He was completely surrounded by deathly silence.
Huo Mingliang roared, struggled, and yelled, but unfortunately it was of no use. It was not until all his bones turned into debris that he felt his body lighten.
"Ah!" A scream came from Huo Mingliang's mouth. He sat up suddenly, and then the door opened. A middle-aged woman rushed in and asked nervously:
"Liangliang, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"
Huo Mingliang looked around in disbelief. This was the bedroom he had lived in before he traveled through time. The person in front of him was his mother, and her nervousness did not seem fake.
"Mom, I'm back!"
"Are you possessed? You came back a long time ago, and it's almost twelve o'clock now."
The woman said with surprise in her eyes.
With a "slap" sound, Huo Mingliang slapped himself hard.
"Liangliang, what happened to you? Don't scare your mother! Dad, come quickly and see what happened to Liangliang."
An hour later, Huo Mingliang finally confirmed that he had returned to his original world. He was not killed, nor did he die without a burial place. Thinking about the words left by the other party:
".The Queen is only teaching you a lesson this time, so that you can slowly experience the process of your own demise."
Huo Mingliang shuddered, and went online as quickly as possible to open the novel. Then he deleted all his negative reviews and messages promoting male supremacy, and finally cancelled his username. This way he could be sure that he would not be pulled into that world again.
"Tsk tsk, how cruel! I guess he will never leave a bad review on a novel again in his life."
Shijiu sighed.
"You think you are superior to others and interfere with the development of the small world based on your own subjective assumptions, causing so much resentment. This level of punishment is already considered light."
Lianyi said calmly while playing with the warm jade chess piece in her hand.
