Xia Yixin also used this as an excuse to leave half of her secret guards by his side.
As planned.
She set off immediately.
However, she never expected that Chu Mubai would not fall under the effects of the Heartbreak Pill as she had imagined.
He was trapped in a nightmare.
We returned to that bizarre and fantastical world, with its hard ground, people dressed in strange clothes coming and going, women who weren't even shy about showing their arms and legs, and some strange four-wheeled vehicles that could move without horses.
This time, he wasn't as surprised as before. Instead, he followed his senses and went straight to the house, pushing the door open and entering.
In an instant, countless fragments of memories rushed into his mind.
Half a day after Xia Yixin left, Chu Mubai suddenly opened his eyes.
Leng Zhan, the guard hidden in the shadows, exclaimed with delight, "Master!"
Leng Zhan looked at the man who got out of bed and suddenly felt that he was different, but he couldn't put his finger on what was different.
"General Yan has already set off," Chu Mubai said in a deep voice, not as a question.
“Yes,” Leng Zhan looked at his unusually calm master with a puzzled expression.
Chu Mubai didn't say much, but instead let Leng Zhan go out first, and then he lightly waved his hand in the air.
Strangely, the dimensional space was split apart, and he stepped into a pure white main space.
If Xia Yixin saw this now, she would be very surprised. Chu Mubai, no, it should be said that Lu Yan, who has completed the memory integration, has a panel in the main space that is exactly the same as hers.
The only difference is that he can only view, not operate.
After reviewing all her mission data, Lu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought. "Zi Linglong, huh..."
Suddenly, his fingertip stopped on her shopping list, where the words "Heartbreak Pill" were clearly visible, and his eyes immediately darkened.
For Xia Yixin, the transition from one plane to another is only a blink of an eye, but for Lu Yan, it takes not just a few years, but hundreds, even thousands of years and tens of thousands of planes to be able to reunite with her.
And yet, she chose to make him forget her.
Lu Yan's eyes held suppressed anger.
Of course, he knew that this was definitely a deliberate guidance from the Supreme God.
Since that's the case, he doesn't need to be polite anymore.
After leaving the main space, Lu Yan ordered, "Leng Zhan, please have Zi Linglong come here."
One day later.
According to Chu Mubai's plan.
Upon arriving near Nanyu Ye City, they received advance notice from the people lying in ambush and unexpectedly encountered the "assassins sent by the new emperor" who had been lying in wait.
The two sides fought in the bustling market, witnessed by many people.
She deliberately let herself be stabbed.
The attackers came and went in a hurry, only "accidentally" leaving behind a secret letter. Xia Yixin also "accidentally" revealed some of its contents while at the clinic. After the charade was over, "he" pretended to be dejected and returned towards Mengcheng.
And so, overnight, rumors began to circulate among the people of Nanyu, from who knows where, that "the new emperor wants to kill General Yan!" and "the new emperor wants to discard the millstone after it has done its work!" and these rumors spread like wildfire.
Meanwhile, the assassins actually sent by the new emperor were completely bewildered thirty miles away.
Damn it, I had everything laid in ambush, and you actually ran away?!
Even if the new emperor is a fool, he knows he's been tricked!
However, at this moment, Chu Mubai's sudden declaration caught the new emperor completely off guard.
The proclamation used neat and sharp language to describe the new emperor's crimes, such as jealousy and murder of loyal officials, and also revealed the new emperor's secret letters.
Instantly, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves.
The people of Nanyu had only seen the Tiger and Wolf Division helping the new emperor expand his territory and Chu Mubai doing his best for the past year or so. They never expected that the new emperor would be so disregardful of the country and the people and harm loyal officials. Moreover, he did not do anything good after he ascended the throne. When he brought down the Ninth Prince, many people thought he was ruthless and cold-blooded.
Ninety-nine percent of the people believed what Chu Mubai said in his proclamation.
The civil and military officials each had their own thoughts, but half of them supported Chu Mubai.
The new emperor then issued a proclamation, completely turning against Chu Mubai and declaring that he would conquer these "treacherous officials and villains" within three months. He even wrote to the Northern Underworld Emperor requesting an alliance.
However, the new emperor was too naive.
When Chu Mubai posted his second announcement, declaring that he would make Zi Linglong the Empress, establish himself as the Queen of Mengcheng, and create the "Huaxia Kingdom," it caused an uproar.
Empress!
This was unprecedented in the history of the Southern Yu Dynasty, and many people's first reaction was that it was absurd!
Upon closer inspection, they discovered that Zi Linglong had been known as a "celestial maiden" since birth. From clothing, food, housing, and transportation to the soap they used, the pastries they ate, and even the water conservancy facilities they used, everything was invented by Zi Linglong!
The announcement also condemned the new emperor for imprisoning Zi Linglong for many years and using her inventions as a means to profit from them.
The people and officials thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that it really was true!
Previously, the new emperor, under the pretext that "it is inconvenient for women to show their faces," took all of her inventions for his own use and, together with the Ninth Prince, used the opportunity to amass wealth.
At the time, no one thought anything of it, but now that we think about it, wasn't it just the act of a thief?
Despicable scoundrel!
Popular support for the new emperor was declining, while support for the "Heavenly Maiden" Zi Linglong was growing stronger, especially among women. They had long heard in their boudoirs that Zi Linglong had led a group of women in Beiming to establish the Red Eagle Army. She was not only heroic and valiant, but she had also rescued many women and children who had been trafficked, as well as some girls who had been forced into marriage by their parents.
Women hold up half the sky! They too can decide their own lives!
Women's education, women's martial arts...
Things they never dared to dream of actually came to be in Beiming, and they heard that it didn't cost a penny.
Don't underestimate the power of women. Even before the great battle began, many people had already secretly favored Zi Linglong and her group.
The new emperor could no longer hold back.
The new emperor initially intended to punish the Chu family, but when he arrived, the Chu family's residence was engulfed in flames. At first, the new emperor thought they had committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but not a single body was found in the entire Chu family's residence.
The Grand Tutor of Chu, the Dowager Lady, and even Jia Shi, who had just given birth, were all gone.
The new emperor was furious and executed all the Imperial Guards responsible for guarding the Grand Tutor's residence. On the same day, he issued a declaration of war by Nanyu against the new regime, "Huaxia Kingdom"!
And this was only three days after Yan Jiu was attacked!
The people were shocked. Were they going to have to fight another war that would plunge them into misery? They were also furious. They were furious at the new emperor’s recklessness.
However, none of this shocked Xia Yixin as much as it did.
Chu Mubai's declaration proved that he was awake, but in terms of timing, he was a whole day earlier than she expected. What exactly went wrong?
