The dark sky gradually descended, and with it, a dead silence fell over the capital. Through the eaves of the pavilions, one could vaguely see the neatly arranged troops slowly moving towards the capital.
The sound of their orderly footsteps made the bluestone slabs beneath their feet vibrate. Everyone had a serious expression and followed the figure on the red-maned horse in front of them with determined eyes.
The man was clad in snow-white armor, his face half covered by a golden mask, revealing only a pair of deep eyes and a beautifully chiseled jawline. He gazed forward, a look of scrutiny and a sense of nostalgia after a long absence. But his eyes were filled with indifference and the unspoken authority of a superior.
He held the reins casually in his hand. If you look closely, you can see a bit of nonchalance in the corners of his eyes and brows, as if the horse he was riding was not some wild horse from the Western Regions, but a gentle and kind horse from his family.
After pausing for a moment, he raised his head and looked towards the capital, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The words he uttered were obviously extremely cold, but also had a bit of gentleness and lingering.
He said—
"Tang Yu, I'm back."
Tang Yu should be very disappointed, right?
After all, he actually came back alive.
*
Tang Yu frowned, not knowing whether it was because he sensed someone calling his name softly from a hundred meters away, or because this time the landing in the small world was not as smooth as before.
Anyway, he has a headache now.
He finally managed to half-stretch his body with great effort, and he clearly noticed that the vermilion doors and windows seemed to be shaking slightly, and there seemed to be a mixture of noisy sounds outside.
Although Tang Yu hadn't had time to receive the world plot given by the system, when he touched the soft bright yellow quilt on his body that looked like a brocade cloud, he instantly understood in his heart -
This is probably the ancient little world where power struggles and melodrama are intertwined.
Tang Yu slowly raised his head and looked at the magnificent and golden bedroom with a strong imperial style, and his heart finally fell heavily to the ground.
Very good, he was right.
The protagonist of this small world is the regent of the Daqi Dynasty. When the dynasty was in turmoil, he not only stabilized the chaotic court situation, but also helped the only legitimate son left by the previous emperor to ascend the throne.
However, given that the eldest son was in poor health, many court officials preferred a regent who had fought in battles and was knowledgeable in political tactics.
However, the regent not only did not agree, but also promised to return all power to the young emperor when his eldest son came of age.
But this is probably a story about ungrateful people.
With the assistance of the regent, the young and frail emperor was quite talented, but because of this, he also developed dissatisfaction and jealousy.
He was jealous of the regent of a different surname who was loved by officials in the court, jealous of the regent who had loyal subordinates, and even more jealous of the regent's prestige in the court that he had the final say.
So the young emperor expressed his loyalty to the regent, leading their relationship to an unspeakable level; at the same time, he secretly won over powerful officials and undermined the regent's power.
Under the emperor's sweet words, it wasn't long before the regent was willing to go to the dangerous border to quell the war for the young emperor.
As for the emperor, he naturally took over the connections and power from the regent.
But this was far from enough to make the Regent lose hope. However, soon, the Regent who was at the border discovered that this was a scam.
Once the food and supplies are cut off, the desperate soldiers will come out.
There is no way out in front and no reinforcements behind.
Only when the Regent was forced into a bottomless canyon by eight hundred assassins did he understand all this.
He finally understood—
Tang Yu really wanted him to die.
However, as the protagonist who is the child of destiny, he will definitely not die in such a place.
According to the world plot, the protagonist fell into the canyon and was seriously injured, but was rescued by a hermit. After witnessing the protagonist's difficulties and strong character, the hermit accompanied the protagonist to recuperate, gave him advice, and finally returned to the capital with the protagonist!
Logically speaking, the next step is for the protagonist to become emperor, and the protagonist, who is a powerful official second only to the emperor, to join hands with the protagonist to create a beautiful and prosperous era.
However, everything suddenly went wrong after meeting Tang Yu.
Yes, that’s right, Tang Yu is the scumbag who took advantage of the Regent and wanted to kill him - the “sickly” young emperor.
Recalling here——
Tang Yu suddenly coughed twice, covering his lips with his hand. The pale, barely visible veins on the back of his hand betrayed his discomfort. Unsurprisingly, he saw a hint of red on his palm after opening it. However, he seemed to take it lightly, interrupting the system's plot and asking directly:
"Which node are we at now?"
"Well... it's the time when the protagonist was killed and returned to the capital." The system spread its hands, with a hint of sympathy in its tone.
It can already imagine the future development direction.
Well, the replica left by the host this time is quite decent, but to be honest it’s useless.
because--
In the end, the host has to bear all this by himself.
In order to make the protagonist determined to take revenge, the host also specially created the image of an emperor who would act recklessly and lawless without the restraint of the regent.
This forced the ministers in the court to be angry but not to speak out, and he ignored his own frail body and filled his harem with concubines, which caused the ministers to be disappointed and sigh.
The host does this in order to make the protagonist hate the host to the core.
In the end, facts proved that the host's actions were indeed very effective.
Originally, the protagonist's despair level towards the host remained at 90%, but just two days after the news was released, the protagonist's despair level skyrocketed.
