Volume 1 Chapter 288 Drink with Me
By calculating the size of the flat continent seen when the golden light fell in the image, Xiang Yun discovered a very scary fact!
That is the geographical location and continental area recorded in the entire book of Tianxia Zatan. Even if all of them are gathered together, it is just a small place in this flat continent!
The size of it is just like... a small provincial town on Earth in the previous life!
Xiang Yun's mood became extremely complicated, and a huge feeling of powerlessness filled his heart and could not be dissipated.
At this moment, he realized that even if he tried his best to practice and fight throughout his life, it would be impossible for him to conquer all the places in the world.
Life is but a mere hundred years. This world is so vast that even if you fly at full speed for a hundred years you still won’t reach the end!
This means that no matter how you practice in this life, there will always be more powerful people weighing down on you, making it hard for you to breathe. Then you have no choice but to keep getting stronger, then fight, then get stronger again, and fight again.
Even if I could be invincible, how long would it take to finish the fight? There was no end to this kind of thing!
At this moment, all of Xiang Yun's beliefs collapsed, and he began to feel that what he was doing now was completely meaningless!
Why do we have to endure so much pain, shed so much blood, and die so many people? It's just you hitting me and I hitting you, so what, what will be the result?
Xiang Yun suddenly realized that in this terrifying world, the most correct choice was for him to stay in a safe corner and live a good life with his wife and daughter!
Otherwise, if the fight continued, his wife and daughter might die, the Dayun Empire might be destroyed, and even he himself might die in the middle of the battle at any time, without even a complete body left behind.
He is just an ordinary man, not an omnipotent god. He doesn't want to live like this. From the beginning to the end, he doesn't want to fight! He doesn't want to fight!
"Ah~ Why, why do you treat me like this!" Xiang Yun suddenly looked up to the sky and cried out in pain. Feeling the pain as if his muscles were being torn all over his body, he felt even more aggrieved. Why did he have to endure all this pain? Can't he just live a good life!
At this time, Xiang Yun's body had completely recovered, and even his recovered skin became more flawless, delicate, and beautiful.
Xiang Yun, who had lost his fighting spirit, was extremely disgusted with fighting and war at this moment. With a heavy heart, he angrily pulled the dragon-eating eagle's beak out of his right shoulder, then sat cross-legged and began to recover from his injuries.
A huge amount of life force suddenly surged out, turning Xiang Yun's face red. The next moment, a bright light armor appeared. With the two healing powers, the penetrating wound on Xiang Yun's shoulder and the torn wound on his back were all recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the shadow of the five-clawed golden dragon on Xiang Yun's body dissipated. With a thought, the dragon claws, dragon scales and dragon horns also turned into shadows and faded away. Three hours later, Xiang Yun, who was in his prime, rode the dragon towards the direction of the Dayun Empire in a depressed mood.
The body of the dragon-eating eagle that had been roasted into charcoal was left on the spot. Xiang Yun did not touch it, and did not even take its inner elixir. Because Xiang Yun no longer had the will to fight and did not want to fight anymore, he no longer needed the inner elixir of the monster that could make him stronger.
It only took Xiang Yun three hours to find the location of the Dayun Empire and return to the palace.
Except for Shen Tu Jian, no one else in the entire palace knew that he had returned, and Xiang Yun went straight to Qin Su's bedroom. He was feeling heavy-hearted and now needed a harbor where he could rely on and find comfort.
Zhen Rou can’t do it, Liu Yiyi can’t do it, Wang Jiaojiao can’t do it, and no one else can do it. Only Qin Su can do it!
However, Xiang Yun searched the entire palace but could not find Qin Su. Finally, he learned from the palace maid that the Dayun Empire had gone to war with the two huge countries, the Baiwu Kingdom and the Chixiao Dynasty. Qin Su, who was the general of Yun, was now leading his troops to fight against the army of the Chixiao Dynasty at the border.
As soon as he heard the word war, Xiang Yun's heart became extremely irritated. In a fit of anger, he ignored it and strode to Kunning Palace to find Zhen Rou in his dragon robe.
As the queen, Zhen Rou was naturally very happy when she heard that the emperor had returned. She immediately disguised herself in Kunning Palace, wanting to face Xiang Yun in the most beautiful posture.
She had just finished dressing up when Xiang Yun suddenly ran in hurriedly, giving Zhen Rou a big scare.
Before Zhen Rou could say anything, Xiang Yun picked her up by the waist in front of the palace maids and eunuchs around her and walked towards the bed.
This action made Zhen Rou scream, and she felt even more embarrassed. Fortunately, the servants were sensible and they left the room on their own and closed the door.
Xiang Yun held Zhen Rou and lay directly on the bed. The panicked Zhen Rou struggled and twisted her body symbolically, but just when Xiang Yun was about to take the next step, he stopped and his body froze on the spot.
Zhen Rou was stunned, she lowered her head slightly and immediately covered her mouth, feeling a little overwhelmed...
Because she saw that Xiang Yun's eyes were filled with tears at this time, and he looked as aggrieved as a child.
Zhen Rou didn't know what was wrong with Xiang Yun. Just as she was about to open her mouth to comfort him, Xiang Yun instantly stood up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry!" Then Xiang Yun turned around and left Kunning Palace. No matter how Zhen Rou shouted behind him, he never stayed.
Xiang Yun thought very clearly, but he also felt that he was a jerk. What man would bring such a problem home and let a woman worry about it?
This kind of problem, he, as an emperor, couldn't solve it. Even if he told Zhen Rou about it, what would happen? Yes, you would feel better if you told her about it, but wouldn't it hurt Zhen Rou and make her worry too?
As the saying goes, one should always report good news to his family, not bad news. He absolutely cannot bring all these difficulties back home.
Xiang Yun was wandering around the palace in a depressed mood. The palace maids and eunuchs around him avoided him. When Xiang Yun approached, they immediately knelt down and lowered their heads. This behavior made Xiang Yun even more upset. Now he even found the red walls of the corridor in the palace an eyesore!
Xiang Yun pointed at the red walls and shouted angrily, "Tear them down! Tear down all the walls of this palace for me!"
Before the servants around could react, Xiang Yun left cursing again, leaving only the palace maids and eunuchs who had heard Xiang Yun's order standing there at a loss. They looked up at the walls, wondering whether to demolish them or not.
Feeling bored staying in the palace, Xiang Yun simply ran out. After thinking it over, he found that he didn't have a single friend to talk to at this moment. How he wanted to invite his close friends to have a drink together, talk about his feelings, and express all the resentment in his heart.
Xiang Yun thought about it for a long time, and finally ran directly to the military camp outside the capital, and kicked open the door of the general's tent. Jiang Yue, who was handling military affairs inside, was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair. When he saw Xiang Yun, he knew he had lost his composure and hurriedly prepared to salute, but the next moment he heard Xiang Yun shouting at him: "Come on, drink with me!"
"Ah?" Jiang Yue suspected that he had heard it wrongly. Before he could react, he saw Xiang Yun actually strode to his side, grabbed his right arm, and then strode out of the tent, cursing: "What? You are not deaf. If you do that again, I will cut off your ears!"
Jiang Yue really had no idea what Xiang Yun was talking about. As the saying goes, serving a king is like serving a tiger. He now has a large family and a big business, but he can't stand Xiang Yun's tormenting him like that. So he had to be careful with his words and actions, and he couldn't find any words to deal with Xiang Yun for a while.
After all, he was not a civil servant who was good at speaking. It was already a rare thing that he did not say anything to offend Xiang Yun.
Jiang Yue could only let Xiang Yun drag him away. Seeing that he was indeed walking out of the military camp, Jiang Yue hesitated for a moment, then said as he walked: "Your Majesty, I still have a lot of military affairs on hand. The distribution of a new batch of supplies and arms for the border of the empire has not yet been determined. This is an urgent matter and cannot be delayed... If you really want to drink, Your Majesty, can you wait until I finish dealing with the important military affairs before..."
Jiang Yue's tone was full of embarrassment, but before he could finish his words, Xiang Yun directly scolded him: "I'm here to drink with you, why are you talking so much nonsense? If you dare to mention official business again, don't blame me for getting mad!"
Seeing that Xiang Yun's words did not seem false, Jiang Yue held back any more words he had in his mind and said no more.
At the same time, seeing Xiang Yun's grim expression, he thought to himself, "Your Majesty must have experienced something unpleasant during this trip, otherwise he would not have ignored government affairs and gone out to drink with me when he came back. This must be a matter of great importance. Whatever, let's just drink!"
Xiang Yun really pulled Jiang Yue all the way back to the capital from the military camp in the suburbs. Xiang Yun was still wearing a gorgeous dragon robe, while Jiang Yue was wearing heavy armor. After all, one must wear armor in the military camp, which is a military rule.
Xiang Yun did not stop along the way, so Jiang Yue naturally had no time to change clothes. The two of them were wearing such eye-catching clothes that they immediately attracted a lot of onlookers as soon as they went out on the street. In particular, they stared at Xiang Yun. Some people even ran to report to the police out of boredom, saying that some bold and unruly people dared to wear dragon robes and go out on the street openly.
When a large number of officers and soldiers came over and saw Jiang Yue being dragged next to Xiang Yun, they were immediately frightened and turned pale. They dared not get any closer and instead beat up the citizen who reported the incident to the officials.
Having a drink was not a big deal, even if it was with the emperor, it would not be a big problem as long as he did not commit any crime. However, as Xiang Yun took Jiang Yue around in the capital, they suddenly came to a place of brothels. Jiang Yue's face finally changed drastically, and he could not help but stagger, secretly groaning in his heart.
After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Yue asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, where are we going to drink?"
Xiang Yun said unhappily: "Is there any need to ask? Of course we are going to Tianxiang Tower!"
"This, this, this..." The emperor said shockingly. Jiang Yue was so frightened that his mouth trembled and he could hardly speak.
What kind of place is Tianxianglou? It's the number one place for romance in the capital! An emperor and a marquis ran into Tianxianglou in broad daylight in front of all the people in the capital. How could Jiang Yue bear it!
Who would believe you if you said you went to Tianxianglou to drink? I wonder if there is any customer in the whole capital who went to Tianxianglou for the purpose of drinking!
Let’s not talk about other things for now. Just the fact that there is Zhen Yueling at home. If Zhen Yueling knew about this, she would skin me alive when I return home!
