Chapter 776 The Prodigal Son
At first, everyone thought that it was only Zhao Yarou's plan that was working, and that Zhao Yarou wanted to take over the whole world. But later everyone discovered that Emperor Xiangkong, who should have been dead a long time ago, was still alive, and was in charge of the situation in Suzaku, and was eyeing the world covetously.
People are like this. When there is no opportunity, they show no desire or demand. But once the opportunity is right in front of them, it is completely against the law.
What's more, Emperor Xiangkong is not a man without ambition, so he will not give up this opportunity. After he knew Zhao Yarou's plan and saw Xiangkong attacking in all directions, he did not stop him, but continued with the trend.
This was originally nothing, but the mistake was that he wanted to put the blame on Zhao Yarou and let Zhao Yarou bear everything, instead of taking action against Ye Cheng and other forces.
This was originally nothing to be blamed, after all, politicians all had this kind of expression. The only problem was that the Ye family in Yecheng had most of his former loyal ministers, and some of them left Xiangkong just because Zhao Yarou killed him.
The current situation is that in order to gain the world, he has treated these loyal ministers and good friends like Ye Chengtian, which is difficult for others to accept.
If he had come out and explained the matter himself, I believe people would not be so disgusted, but the problem is that he was exposed, and in the end he still refused to admit that it was all Zhao Yarou's fault.
In this way, he deceived the people of the world and made them continue to support him, but he could not deceive Ye Chengtian and others. This made Ye Chengtian and others very disappointed in him. They thought that he had died a long time ago and the person in front of them was just another person.
Although this situation is also human nature, and anyone else would probably do the same as him, it is difficult to expect those involved to understand this behavior.
"I'm doing this for the empire. Who doesn't want the empire to become the overlord of the continent? If it were Suzaku and Ella, or even anyone else, they would do the same as me!" said Emperor Xiangkong.
"I don't want to discuss this issue. Now just let us take Ye Lang back, okay?" The Seventh Princess didn't want to discuss this. She was afraid that the other party might be blinded by greed and unwilling to let Ye Lang go, or even herself.
"My sister knew very well that if that girl was taken back, she would definitely destroy the empire's plan. That's why she locked her up for ten years!! But I didn't expect her to be so crazy that she would even lose herself." Emperor Xiangkong said. Although he did not answer the question directly, the meaning was already very clear.
"She is a little crazy, but now I think that her madness is cute! At least, she dares to love and hate, and dares to act, unlike some people." Long Anqi spoke at this time. She seemed to have a very good opinion of Zhao Yarou, and not only her, but everyone else was the same, and they had a good impression of Zhao Yarou.
"That's right, just like my brother. Although she is a little abnormal, she is a good emperor..." Ye Lanyu continued.
"..." Emperor Xiangkong remained silent. He also felt that the common people loved Zhao Yarou much more than himself.
"Everyone, stop talking, it's about to start!!"
Sha Lan said at this time, and her words made everyone focus on the open space, the open space that hid the mystery, the place where Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou disappeared ten years ago.
At this time, everyone was nervously waiting and vigilant, fearing that someone would attack the two people who came out.
Most people would choose to eliminate some uncontrollable unsettling factors, and Emperor Xiangkong's intention seemed very clear. He would not allow Ye Lang, an unsettling factor, to appear.
At this time, Li Yue had people surround the area and not let anyone in, including Xiangkong's side. There were only her and Shalan in the inner circle.
After a long time...
"Why hasn't it appeared yet?" Li Yue looked at Sha Lan.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either. This is a tool of the Tiangong Yue tribe, and I haven't figured it out yet. Maybe the tool is broken, so we have to delay a little bit..." Sha Lan shook her head.
"It would be better this way. If they can't come back, I will send them to the prison over there." Li Yue said coldly. She still couldn't let go of this matter.
Shallan smiled bitterly and said, "What does this have to do with me? It's not my fault!"
"I don't care about anything else, I just know that I have to send them in!" Li Yue said lightly.
“…”Shalan became even more distressed.
No one present dared to mess with Li Yue, including Sha Lan. Now Li Yue had become the number one in Xiangkong and had easily defeated the number one swordsman three years ago.
Perhaps it is because Li Yue has been here for the past ten years, and has devoted herself to cultivation whenever she has nothing to do, so her strength is improving at a rapid rate, and not many people can catch up with her.
At the same time, Li Yue also controls the military power in this area. Simply put, she is the local boss here, and even Emperor Xiangkong cannot suppress her.
"Sister Li Yue, can you let us in too?" Hu Niu spoke at this time. She didn't want to wait outside.
"Okay, but you can't attack the emperor." Li Yue nodded and put forward a condition.
"Okay!" Hu Niu responded, and she flashed to the side of Li Yue. With her speed and skills, no one could stop her. She asked questions only because she respected Li Yue.
After Hu Niu, the other girls followed in, and Li Yue did not object!
As for Emperor Xiangkong and others, Li Yue stopped them, which made Xiangkong's side very unhappy. They questioned why Huniu and others could do it, but they couldn't.
Li Yue just said: "They will keep their promise, I believe them!"
“…”
What this means is that Xiangkong will not keep its promise!
"Haha, Your Majesty, you should wait outside. Let's wait outside together." Ye Chengtian said. At this time, he and Long Anqi and others were all outside. Only the girls went in.
"Let's just wait here. It's all the same anyway. There's no rush!" Emperor Xiangkong said calmly.
Look forward to it, continue to look forward to it...
A long time has passed. From the time it was turned on till now, three hours have passed!!
At this time, some people began to get anxious, while some people felt happy. Some were anxious because they were afraid that Ye Lang and the others would not come back, while others were happy because they hoped that Ye Lang and the others would not come back.
At this moment, the space above the open space began to distort, and then two figures appeared above the open space.
"Damn, luckily we still made it in time. Zhao Yarou, how could you even forget the time?"
"You're so embarrassed! I forgot about it myself and was still teasing the baby."
"I never keep track of time, it's not like I don't know that!"
"I know, but I'm just going to blame it!!"
Everyone was silent, staring blankly at the two people who appeared and quarreled. On everyone's face, there were expressions of joy, surprise, and deep sorrow...
Who else could these two people be but Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou? Even though ten years have passed, they seem to have not changed at all!
Ye Lang was still as dazed as before, and Zhao Yarou was still as adorable as before...
However, what was a bit strange was that Zhao Yarou was holding a baby in her arms.
Baby?!
Could it be that the two of them really got together in there and had a child?
At this time, Ye Lanyu had a strange and vague expression on his face, and the faces of the others also showed similar expressions. They all felt that this matter felt very strange.
"Huh? Why are there so many people here? Rui, my baby is here too..."
It seemed that no one had thought that among so many girls, the first person Ye Lang called was not any of them, but Rui who was discovered first.
At Ye Lang's call, Rui immediately appeared beside Ye Lang, guarding him silently as before, without any expression or unnecessary movements.
"Asshole, didn't you see other people?" Princess Longji said unhappily at this time.
"I see, Hu Niu, Fatty, you are all here..." Ye Lang greeted them.
“…” Hello, I was the one calling, but the one I saw was someone else.
"Okay, let's stop for now. Why are there so many people here? Are you waiting for us, or do you want to do something to us?" Zhao Yarou asked lightly. Even after being in there for ten years, her sharpness had not diminished.
After coming out, she found that something was wrong with the situation!!
"We are waiting for our brother to come out, not waiting for him!! But maybe our father is waiting for us." Ye Lanyu knocked on Ye Lang unhappily. She was so worried about him, but he didn't even say hello.
"Oh, is he coming out? It seems that Xiangkong has been controlled. That is, Xiangkong has nothing to do with me." Zhao Yarou looked at Emperor Xiangkong and said calmly, as if it was a very ordinary thing.
"Don't you care?" Everyone was a little surprised by Zhao Yarou's indifference.
"What does it matter? That tool is not what I want at all. I just want to prove it to someone." Zhao Yarou said indifferently.
"To prove it to someone... Is it just because of him?"
Everyone knew that the person Zhao Yarou was talking about was Ye Lang, and after hearing the meaning of these words, everyone seemed to understand that everything Zhao Yarou had done before seemed to be because she wanted to prove something to Ye Lang. As for what it was, no one knew yet, they only knew that it was because of Ye Lang.
Zhao Yarou did not answer this question, but just teased the baby in her arms!
"Hey, hey, what happened? How come there is a baby? Is this my grandson?" Long Anqi appeared beside Zhao Yarou at some point and asked the baby in her arms.
It seemed that everyone had already anticipated this situation, but they did not expect that it would actually happen now, and Ye Lang and the others would actually appear with a child.
"Yes, this is the baby of my brother-in-law and me. Isn't it cute?" Zhao Yarou replied with a smile.
"Ye Lang!!"
"younger brother!"
“…”
"What?" Ye Lang seemed to be still playing with Rui at this time, touching this and that on Rui's body. This feeling made people feel that Ye Lang was very lustful.
"Oh, that baby, she is at most my mother's granddaughter." Ye Lang said casually.
"It turns out to be a girl! Wait, tell me first, what is going on? How could he and Zhao Yarou have a daughter?" Long Anqi held the baby girl in her arms, looking very fond of her.
"What? Who gave birth to a daughter with her?" Ye Lang asked blankly.
"If not, where did it come from? There are only two of us in it." Sha Lan interrupted at this time. She was sure that there were only two people in it. This tool had not been opened for tens of thousands of years. Could there be someone alive in it?
"Of course it's not mine. There are more than just the two of us in there, there's also this thing." Ye Lang shook his head and pointed at the baby girl.
"What? Wait, this baby girl seems a little different..." At this time, Shalan was still thinking about something, when suddenly she found that this baby girl was a little different from others, probably different from ordinary human beings.
"This...this forehead wrinkle, this...this...is from the Tiangong Yue tribe, could it be..."
"That's right, this is a baby from the Tiangong Yue tribe. It was sealed in a prison. I discovered it not long ago." Ye Lang nodded.
It turned out that what Ye Lang discovered at that time was this baby. The Tiangong Yue tribe placed this person here in the hope that the race could continue.
Ye Lang had read the information left by the Tiangong Yue tribe. It was about a great disaster in ancient times. They were about to face the threat of genocide, so they sealed some of their tribesmen and placed them in various places, and this baby girl was one of them.
As for what kind of great disaster it was and where the other seals were, there was no mention of it, so this will remain a mystery.
"What?! From the Tiangong Yue tribe?" Everyone was very surprised. Looking at the baby girl in Long Anqi's arms, she looked so cute. Apart from a strange forehead wrinkle, her facial features also seemed a little different from those of ordinary people, but not very obvious.
"Fortunately, it's not her, otherwise my sister would have gotten there first." The Seventh Princess patted her chest. She had absolutely no interest in who this baby girl was or where she came from.
"Hehe, sister, are you scared? Although we don't have children, I am ahead of others..." Zhao Yarou said with a smile, not knowing what this meant, nor whether it was true or false.
"What do you mean by taking the lead? Could it be... Forget it, let's deal with this when we get back. We still have a lot of problems to face now." The Seventh Princess felt that the most important thing now was to solve the problem at hand. She could deal with other things in private slowly when she got home.
"What's the problem? It seems that you are still in a state of hostility. Haven't you unified the world yet?" Zhao Yarou asked.
At first, Zhao Yarou felt something was wrong. In her opinion, Xiangkong should have taken over the whole world long ago, and these people in front of her should have been reconciled and together.
But from the very beginning, I felt that the relationship between them was not that harmonious, and seemed to be tit-for-tat.
This could be a factional competition within the empire, but the problem is that the other party is the emperor of Xiangkong, so it should be impossible for him to be hostile to him.
The only explanation now is that the two sides are still at war and have not yet unified! !
"Not yet, we are still a long way off..." Emperor Xiangkong said, "We need it now!"
"Impossible! My plan is enough to allow Xiangkong to conquer the world. Even if there are accidents, they are only partial. How can it be so far off!" Zhao Yarou said, "If we don't conquer the world, then Ye Lang and I have been here for ten years in vain!!"
"..." Xiangkong remained silent.
"Actually, if we had followed the adults' instructions, we could...but..." At this time, a young man from Xiangkong said. This young man had been silent on the Xiangkong side and seemed inconspicuous and unimportant.
However, everyone present knew that this young man was a very important person. He was the highest military advisor of the Xiangkong Empire. His strategic thinking was well-known throughout the world and he was known as Xiangkong's number one strategist.
"Do you want me to do too much and mess up the plan?" Emperor Xiangkong frowned.
"I dare not!" said the young strategist.
In fact, it was Emperor Xiangkong who did too much. Zhao Yarou's original plan was linked together, but if something went wrong in the middle, the whole plan would not be connected.
Emperor Xiangkong didn't understand Zhao Yarou's plan, so he followed his own plan. That's why there was a temporary ceasefire. In fact, it was not Zhao Yarou's plan, but Emperor Xiangkong wanted to prepare more. He felt that as long as he could take out the alchemical weapons, he could win the world.
"It seems that this is none of my business. Whether you fight for the land or not is your business! However, I advise you to stop. Peace talks are the best outcome at the moment." Zhao Yarou said lightly, as if she no longer cared about the result. Even if it was her own hard work, it had nothing to do with her.
Now that Ye Lang is back, Xiangkong’s advantage is gone, and being besieged by so many people, the final result will definitely be that they will be taken back to their original place, and even their original territory will be taken away by all parties.
"Peace talks?! Yarou, you have been an emperor before, do you think it's possible?" Emperor Xiangkong asked directly.
"Maybe! As long as we understand what the consequences will be if we continue," Zhao Yarou said, "If it were me, I would give up at this point!"
“…” Emperor Xiangkong remained silent.
"Can't you help us?" After a long while, Emperor Xiangkong spoke.
"I am my brother-in-law's person now. If he helps, I will help!" Zhao Yarou said at this time, holding Ye Lang's arm, looking very happy, which made some people want to drive her away and stay away from Ye Lang.
At this time, Ye Lang was still staring at Rui...
"What? No, we don't help bad people! Rui, you're so lucky. I can improve now, and maybe even speak for myself. So, are you happy? If you're happy, just nod. Yeah, I knew you'd nod."
"Get out! She was clearly being controlled. She nodded when she was told to!!" Zhao Yarou said unhappily at this time.
"We are connected in spirit, this is incomprehensible." Ye Lang said seriously.
"Then can I understand?" Xuanyuan Bing said at this time.
"..." Ye Lang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Well, let's go back first. This place isn't very fun. Is Ling waiting in the sky?"
Seeing Ye Lang changing the subject, no one cared. They just answered his question and asked him how he knew that Zero was in the sky.
"Because that spaceship can be controlled by Rui, and Rui can sense it!" Ye Lang answered casually.
"?!" At this time, everyone was puzzled. What did it mean that Rui could also be controlled? Could it be that this spaceship was built for Rui?
Ye Lang seemed to sense everyone's confusion at this time, so he began to explain, "Oh, haven't I passed yet? Rui is an alchemical device that can control everything. If we want to deal with any alchemical device, Rui alone can solve it. Rui, make the alchemical weapon over there that's aimed at us self-destruct!"
"Bang!!"
As if in response to Ye Lang's words, in the distance, Xiangkong's weapons that were used to prevent Ye Lang and others from exploding, blasting the people nearby away for a distance.
“…”
Everyone fell silent. They had never imagined that the key to victory had been right beside them all along!
If he had known from the beginning that Rui could control these alchemical devices, Xiangkong would have been defeated long ago and would have had no chance of winning at all.
"This bastard always makes us surprised and happy! We can't tell whether to laugh or cry!" Princess Longji said helplessly.
"Ye Lang,... who is he?" Sha Lan looked at Ye Lang. She no longer had any idea about Ye Cheng. Now with the addition of Rui, she was even more confused.
No matter how strong your alchemy is, one of the other person's cores can kill you. At the same time, the other person's alchemy is not weaker than yours.
It is really unbelievable that there is a tool to control alchemical equipment.
"Prodigal son!" Ye Lang replied.
“…”
The whole world knows the answer to Ye Lang's riddle, but this prodigal son is too peculiar. If my own children were also such prodigal sons, I would burn incense every day to fulfill my wish.
