Lan Ruofeng was the first to stand up, his back to Emperor Xia Jing, desperately trying to wink at Yu Shuang.
He was saying words of advice.
"Master, you mustn't be disrespectful to His Majesty!"
He was inwardly groaning, thinking, "You're not even planning to rebel; you're planning to let the emperor go back."
Why offend people like that?!
He had previously held onto a sliver of hope that His Majesty was magnanimous, benevolent, and wary of the many experts present, and would let this place go.
It seems that Black Wind Stronghold is truly facing imminent disaster.
Yu Shuang, head held high, declared confidently:
"He liked that imposter so much that he even arranged for her to marry his son. It's no wonder I kicked him a few times. ... I've offended him thoroughly since I kidnapped him. How could he not bring up old grudges when he goes back? ... If it weren't for my master and the others pleading for him and not wanting to see the world in chaos, I would have killed him once and for all."
Everyone: ...!
For a moment, they were speechless.
That seems to make some sense.
If that's really the case, wouldn't releasing the emperor back be like letting a tiger return to the mountains? Wouldn't Black Wind Stronghold be in danger?
Several bandits immediately became restless and suggested that they should just behead the emperor.
Otherwise, there will definitely be big trouble in the future.
The emperor felt a chill in his heart. Just then, Lan Ruofeng shouted and stood in front of him.
"No way!!"
It was as if he wanted to step over His Majesty's corpse before killing him.
He rattled off a long string of profound principles.
Yu Shuang impatiently waved Lan Ruofeng away.
"Get out, get out, get out..."
She then slapped the bandits who had just begged her to kill the emperor to the ground as punishment.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The bandits shook their heads in fright:
"No, no, I wouldn't dare..."
"With your intelligence, do you think I wouldn't think of the danger? Since I dared to let him go back, I'm naturally not afraid of his retaliation later."
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Yu Shuang cleaved her sword towards the distant mountain peak.
"boom--!"
The mountaintop split open in response.
Successfully deterred them on the spot.
Is this...is this even human?
"Do you think I'm just a figurehead?"
Number one in the world, terrifyingly so!
The bandits looked at Yu Shuang with blind fanaticism and worship.
I knew the head of the family was powerful, but I never imagined the Zhang family was this powerful.
Such astonishing power is worthy of being called a celestial being!
The leader is always redefining their understanding of his strength.
With the boss around, what's there to be afraid of?
Emperor Jing of Xia stared at the distant mountains, his pupils dilating in shock.
Could there really be such a monster in the world?
Is this how you just let go of the humiliation he suffered?
But can he really be an enemy of such a person?
Lan Ruofeng snapped out of his daze and tried his best to act as a peacemaker, speaking well of everyone.
He seemed to have forgotten his status as a prisoner and wanted to personally escort Emperor Jing of Xia down the mountain.
Yu Shuang took him away to continue his literacy work.
Emperor Jing of Xia could only walk the mountain path alone, feeling miserable.
They got lost on the way and met an old farmer driving an oxcart.
The old farmer had never seen the emperor's face in his entire life, so he couldn't possibly believe that he was the emperor.
The emperor could not possibly have fallen into such a state.
He was more inclined to believe that this was a rebel who wanted to become emperor.
"Ah! They've rebelled!!" he shouted, then drove off in his oxcart.
"Come back to me!!"
Emperor Jing of Xia was furious when he wanted to requisition the oxcarts.
After a long and arduous journey, they finally encountered a caravan.
The merchant leading the group was quite perceptive and, with some skepticism, gave him a ride.
They also sent someone ahead to gather information, and the information was sent back.
He is most likely the emperor of their Great Xia Kingdom.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Do not seek merit, but only to avoid mistakes.
Emperor Jing of Xia has suffered more than he has ever experienced in his entire life these past two days.
His life journey could be compiled into a book called "The Emperor's Adventures".
Is this really how it should be resolved?
How could we just let it go like this?!
Where does the majesty of the imperial family reside?
If he can't touch the culprit for now, can't he touch the culprit's biological father?
He could only blame the humiliation he suffered on the source of the trouble—the Marquis of Yongning and the fake heiress.
This is all the work of that father and daughter!!
Why not just acknowledge both daughters together?
They've caused so much trouble, making me suffer endless humiliation.
Upon returning to the palace, he immediately summoned the Marquis of Yongning.
Since returning to his residence, the Marquis of Yongning has been restless.
Now that things have come to this, it would be best if that rebellious girl could succeed.
Even if it doesn't work out, it's best to nip it in the bud and avoid causing trouble for the Yu family.
Suddenly, a servant reported that the Emperor had returned safely.
Immediately afterwards, someone from the palace came to invite him to the palace to meet the emperor.
He felt somewhat uncertain.
I wonder if that rebellious daughter has cast a spell on His Majesty? Is His Majesty already a puppet?
He adjusted his mindset and went to the palace to meet the emperor.
The emperor's voice was unusually calm, like the calm before a storm.
"Minister Yu, you have truly given birth to a fine daughter..."
Marquis Yongning pretended not to understand, feigning ignorance and playing dumb – that was the right approach.
Suddenly, with a bang, he was kicked to the ground.
The emperor was furious and vented all the frustration he had felt over the past two days on this source of trouble.
"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext." They fabricated a charge and wiped out the entire Yongning Marquis's household, sending everyone—men, women, and children—to prison.
In addition, he sent people to keep a close eye on the movements of Black Wind Stronghold, not letting any slightest disturbance slip by.
Very well, they seem indifferent to the attitude of the Marquis of Yongning's residence...
