Chapter 778: Enemy at the Gate
"Who's missing? Hu Niu, Xiao Wu, Fatty..." Ye Lang quickly checked them all. "Cousin Zhiqing is here too, so it seems we're not short of people. Dad, are we short of anyone here?"
"No shortage, this is all we have!" Ye Chengtian replied.
"We are not short of people. Li Yue, do you want to come? If you come, I welcome you. Sha Lan...you should stay over there." Ye Lang said.
"I..." Li Yue looked at Ye Lang, hesitating. After all, her current position was not in line with the truth.
"What do you mean!!" Sha Lan glared at Ye Lang.
"It's nothing. Anyway, we will definitely insist on it. You won't come to my side, will you?" Ye Lang replied.
"Why not? I'm just an alchemist. I'm not anything else. As long as you dare to teach me alchemy, I will go to your side!" Sha Lan said coldly. When she said this, she could only follow Ye Lang, because anyone who said such words would definitely be controlled by Emperor Xiangkong or eliminated.
"It's good that you came. Why shouldn't I teach you alchemy? I can do it, and I will teach you. But, other than alchemy, it depends on what I like." Ye Lang said indifferently, "Why should I learn other things besides alchemy?" Sha Lan said as she approached the spaceship. What she didn't know was that some of Ye Lang's techniques were not actually alchemy, such as the formation that she wanted to understand the most.
"Li Yue, time waits for no one..."
"No, I still can't go with you. Why are we not part of the same empire? Why are we divided into so many countries..." Li Yue shook her head, looking very painful.
"An empire..."
After hearing Li Yue's words, someone suddenly thought of a very ridiculous plan, and this plan did not seem impossible to implement.
"Okay, let's go, see you later!"
"etc!!"
At this time, Emperor Xiangkong and Chu Jiu shouted at the same time.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. My time is precious. I have already wasted ten years..." Ye Lang said and prepared to leave.
"Asshole, who have you been spending the past ten years with?!"
"And Zhao Yarou... Wait, where is Zhao Yarou?" Ye Lang replied casually, and suddenly realized that Zhao Yarou seemed to be not by his side, nor on the boat.
They had just calculated and found that they had overlooked Zhao Yarou. Ye Lang was too used to it, while the others had never thought that Zhao Yarou would be with him, so they all ignored her.
"Do you remember me? My dear brother-in-law!!" Zhao Yarou's voice was full of resentment, as if a force of resentment pierced deeply into Ye Lang's heart.
"Zhao Yarou, what are you doing there?" Ye Lang looked at the resentful Zhao Yarou and found that Zhao Yarou was actually not far from Emperor Xiangkong at this time and was surrounded by someone.
"I was waiting for you to remember me, but you actually forgot me!!" Zhao Yarou said resentfully. She had just been alone in a circle, and when she was teleported out, she happened to be near Emperor Xiangkong and was immediately surrounded.
"I'm used to you being around, I never thought you wouldn't be here." Ye Lang said a little innocently.
"Really?" Zhao Yarou's resentment immediately disappeared after hearing this.
"Ahem!! Little Ye Lang, you have seen it too. Now Yarou is in my hands. Shouldn't you surrender?" Emperor Xiangkong said.
"What do you mean by surrender? What do you mean? Are you trying to use your own daughter to threaten me?" Ye Lang asked blankly. Although the meaning was very obvious, he still felt it was strange.
Not only did he feel strange, but everyone who heard about this also felt a little strange.
A person actually uses his own daughter to threaten others. What kind of thing is this?
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Li Yue still only recognized Zhao Yarou as the emperor, so after discovering this situation, she immediately asked her people to surround Emperor Xiangkong.
"Don't move! Li Yue, don't forget, you are a citizen of Xiangkong, and I am now the emperor of Xiangkong!" Emperor Xiangkong roared, then looked at Ye Lang and said, "Little Yelang, come down and join Xiangkong. I can give you whatever you want."
"I'm not going down. Why should I join Xiangkong? And what can you give me? I don't need it." Ye Lang said indifferently, without any sign of nervousness, as if he didn't care about Zhao Yarou at all.
"Aren't you afraid that something might happen to Yarou?" Emperor Xiangkong spoke in a low and calm voice, seeming a little impatient, as if he would do something unlucky to Zhao Yarou at any time.
"What could happen to her?" Ye Lang was still the same, looking relaxed.
"Don't think I will do anything just because she is my daughter. Those who achieve great things don't care about appearance!" Emperor Xiangkong said coldly.
"Well, I believe you will do this, because you are more cold-blooded than Zhao Yarou. She will at least spare your lives, but you can even kill your own daughter in order to gain the world!" Ye Lang said lightly. In fact, he was not blaming Emperor Xiangkong, but expressing his emotion. All the kings in history were like this.
Li Shimin was a wise ruler, but he was also a man who killed his brothers and was equally cold-blooded. However, no one would say a word about his hegemony, but instead his achievements will be praised through the ages.
If Emperor Xiangkong succeeded this time and unified the country, as long as he was diligent and caring for his people, he would surely be praised for eternity. As for him threatening his daughter, or even killing her, history would give him a positive evaluation...
At this point, it’s hard to say who is right or wrong; it’s just a matter of perspective and stance!!
"If you know, why don't you come over?"
"Why do you want to come down? If you have the ability, just kill your daughter. I'm watching here." Ye Lang said with a smile, and there seemed to be a hint of playfulness in his tone.
"I didn't expect that she still has such a low status in your heart. After ten years of getting along, don't you have any feelings for each other?" Emperor Xiangkong questioned. Zhao Yarou was originally moving, but after hearing this, she stopped and looked at Ye Lang. She also seemed to know the answer.
"I do have some feelings for her. She's a qualified sister-in-law and takes good care of me. I really can't bear to leave her. If anything happens to her, I will definitely help her." Ye Lang said lightly.
"You're sensible!" Zhao Yarou said softly, looking happy.
"Then why don't you come down? Don't you want to help her carry it? Is this just talk?" Emperor Xiangkong continued to question.
"Why do you keep asking why? I've already told you, if you have the ability, go and kill her. Don't you understand what I mean?" Ye Lang said unhappily.
At this time, Ye Lang's words made some people seem to understand something. They realized that Ye Lang's words did not actually mean that Emperor Xiangkong should kill Zhao Yarou, but rather...
"Okay, I'll kill her!" Emperor Xiangkong said coldly. Now he was in a difficult situation. Even if he was unwilling, he had to establish his authority in front of his soldiers.
And when Emperor Xiangkong ordered the siege, when those cold swords were stabbing at Zhao Yarou, when some people who cared about Zhao Yarou were worried and couldn't bear to watch, something unexpected happened.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
…
"ah!"
"ah!"
…
Those who surrounded Zhao Yarou were knocked away in an instant, but Zhao Yarou seemed to have not moved at all, as if those people were flying backwards on their own.
What's going on? Why can't I see her movements? Is it because she's so powerful that I can't see through her, or is there some protective treasure on her?
It must be the latter. If I can't see through it, then she must be at the heavenly level. How is that possible?
"Brother, she..." Ye Lanyu looked at Zhao Yarou in disbelief.
"She is very dangerous, I've said that a long time ago!" Ye Lang waved his hand and said.
"I understand!" Ye Chengtian nodded at this time.
…
"superior!"
When an inexplicable situation suddenly arises, people who generally don't know the situation will continue to test it. Those who surrounded Zhao Yarou did the same. They continued to attack.
The result was the same, they were knocked away in an instant, and this time, everyone clearly saw Zhao Yarou taking action. This time, they could be sure that it was not because of some protective treasure, but because Zhao Yarou herself possessed terrifying strength.
This, this woman is truly abnormal, how can she be so strong in everything! !
Zhao Yarou's punches, palms, and kicks appeared in front of everyone with clear movement routes. Even though they were clearly visible, no one could stop her.
All of a sudden, a vacuum zone formed near Zhao Yarou, because all these people were knocked away by her.
At this point, everyone understood what Ye Lang meant. He said, "You can try to kill her and see if you can kill her." The result was obvious: he couldn't!
"Okay, stop playing and come up quickly! We don't have time to play here. After all, this is your father's land." Ye Lang shouted to Zhao Yarou who was still continuing.
"Hehe, got it!" Zhao Yarou smiled cunningly, and then with ghostly movements, she came to Ye Lang's side in a few moments.
"I knew you were cunning. Why don't you run away quickly when encountering such a situation? What are you doing there?" Ye Lang said.
"I want to know if you care about me, brother-in-law..." Zhao Yarou said with a smile.
"Set sail!" Ye Lang ignored Zhao Yarou and prepared to set sail.
"etc!"
At this time, someone still shouted "wait", and this time, it was Li Yue and Chu Jiu.
"Li Yue, do you want to go with us?" Ye Lang ignored Chu Jiu and asked Li Yue directly. At this time, Li Yue's call seemed to have only this purpose.
"Yes!" Li Yue nodded. "I don't want to follow a king who even lost his daughter. I'm afraid that one day he will abandon me. Besides, I always think that the emperor is the emperor."
"Very good, come up!" Ye Lang said. No matter what Li Yue's reason was, he was very happy to see this result.
"General Li Yue!" Li Yue's subordinates shouted, not wanting Li Yue to leave.
"You guys continue to do your things and don't need to care about whether I stay or go. I am a girl and I will get married sooner or later. I don't plan to stay in the military camp with you guys for the rest of my life. Now is the perfect opportunity!" Li Yue said with a smile.
"this……"
"Then we wish the general to find happiness!!"
“…”
"Thirteenth Young Master, you must give our General Li Yue happiness!"
When the last voice sounded, the farewell and blessing began to change, and everyone pointed the finger at Ye Lang.
"??? What, what does this have to do with me?" Ye Lang asked confusedly.
"It's none of your business. You took me away today!" Li Yue said with a smile, and tears flowed from her eyes.
"Then go back!"
“…”
"Forget it, set sail, otherwise Xiangkong's army will gather here!!" Ye Lang did not continue and let Xiao Ling set sail back to Yecheng.
"Wait, I still have something to say..." Chu Jiu shouted from below.
"Goodbye Chu Jiu, don't miss us like that. Come to Yecheng for tea when you have time, I'll treat you!" Ye Lang's words hung in the air, and the spaceship was already heading back to Yecheng.
"Hey..." Chu Jiu helplessly watched Ye Lang's spaceship leave.
…
"Ye Lang, how strong is Zhao Yarou? Why can't I see it clearly? Did you teach her?" Ye Lanyu looked at Ye Lang holding the baby girl, and then looked at Zhao Yarou beside him. He always felt that these three objects were very harmonious together, and also very strange.
"She is at the Heaven level, a little higher than you! I have taught her a little bit of her martial arts." Ye Lang replied.
"You really are such a fool! How could you get such a person to the Heavenly Level?" Ye Lanyu said unhappily. It was impossible to completely forgive Zhao Yarou. It would take some time.
"What do you mean I brought her to the Heavenly Level? She is already at the Heavenly Level. Before this, she has been hiding her strength." Ye Lang said.
"What?! No way, you said she had already reached the heavenly level, how old was she at that time, how is that possible?" Everyone was stunned.
If it was said that Zhao Yarou broke through to the Heavenly Level during the ten years she had been with Ye Lang, everyone would be able to accept this, but Ye Lang said that she had already reached the Heavenly Level ten years before, which was unacceptable.
"She is an anomaly! I said at that time that she was very dangerous. It's not that I didn't do anything to her, but she gave me a very dangerous feeling. Now you believe it, right? My choice was right!" Ye Lang said.
“…”
Everyone was silent, staring blankly at Zhao Yarou. They didn't understand how Zhao Yarou had grown up. At such a young age, she could accomplish so many things that others would never be able to do in their entire lives, and she had turned the entire continent upside down.
Even exaggerating to describe her in one sentence, that is, she has the whole world in her hands!!
"My little baby, come here to mommy. Don't keep pestering daddy like this. Mommy will be jealous. Mommy is really jealous!!" At this time, Zhao Yarou ignored everyone's eyes and just teased the little baby girl there, and the little baby girl also giggled under her teasing.
At this time, Zhao Yarou gave people the impression of being a playful and cute girl next door!!
"Yarou, don't try to take my place. If you want to be the mother, I am it, and you are just the aunt." At this time, the seventh princess intervened to prove her existence.
"No, I don't want to be an aunt, I also want to be a mother! Sister, how about we marry my brother-in-law together?" Zhao Yarou looked at the Seventh Princess with anticipation in her eyes, as if a little girl was begging her sister.
"Well...you should ask your brother-in-law. If he's willing, then we can go together."
"What? My opinion? Of course that's impossible. I won't marry a pervert like you!"
“Go to hell!!”
…
Perhaps happy times pass especially quickly. The return of Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou, plus the addition of Li Yue, made everyone happy. This was also the result everyone wanted to see the most, and it even exceeded expectations.
While time passed without anyone noticing, two days later, the spaceship arrived in Yecheng. It was greeted by cheers from the entire city, as well as people such as the third and seventh brothers who had been waiting for a long time.
After seeing Ye Lang, everyone's emotions became even more excited, creating an exciting scene.
However, what was unexpected was that before everyone could be happy for long, something that should have happened but came too quickly happened.
Everyone knew this was going to happen sooner or later, but no one thought it would happen so soon!!
"Hey, why is it getting a little dark?"
Everyone in the city felt a little strange. It was still afternoon and not evening yet, so how could it get dark so quickly? When they looked up, everyone saw something that would be unforgettable for the rest of their lives.
There were airships everywhere in the sky, and the patterns on them told everyone that these airships belonged to Xiangkong. The current situation was that Xiangkong suddenly arrived at the city and besieged the entire Yecheng.
This came too fast, Ye Lang and the others just returned! !
"How spectacular! If these airships were used for civilian purposes, I wonder how many people would benefit from them." Ye Lang looked at the sky without feeling nervous at all.
"You still have time to sigh here, hurry up and think of a solution!" said the third brother unhappily.
"What are you thinking? Maybe they are just passing by." Ye Lang said casually.
“…”
"You really make me angry. In this situation, if he passes by, I will give you my head as a stool to sit on." The third brother said unhappily.
"If they are not passing by, what are they doing here? Do they want to attack us?" Ye Lang said.
"It's either difficult or they are going to attack us!"
"There's no reason. This place doesn't actually have much strategic significance. Even if we want to attack here, there's no need for such a grand display." Ye Lang said a little dazedly.
"With you here, this strategic significance is huge, and we have to win it!!" said the third brother.
"Am I that important?"
“It’s very important!!”
Almost at the same time, everyone shouted, answering Ye Lang's self-question.
"In that case, then Third Brother, you go prepare for defense. What I'm most afraid of is a strong attack from the other side. No matter how powerful my defense is, it won't be able to withstand such a large number of them." Ye Lang said, looking at the airships in the sky above.
"How much do you think you can withstand?"
"If that's all, two days will be enough." Ye Lang replied, "Let's get ready to escape. As long as there's life, there's always firewood to burn!"
“…”
Everyone fell silent, not only because of the uninspiring words, but also because Ye Lang had mentioned a time limit of two days. How could they hold out for two days under such a large amount of attack power?
Everyone felt that the enemy might not be able to sustain the attack for two days, so there was still hope of defending.
Of course, Ye Lang’s words also need to be considered. The most important thing is to save his life. As long as he is alive, everything can start over again.
"Escape? I guess it's impossible to escape! I believe that the entire Xiangkong's strength is now concentrated here. Even those who originally fought against Suzaku and others have come here. It's almost the entire country's strength to encircle us." Seventh Brother frowned at this time. He had a report in his hand, and from what he said, things must be very bad.
"No way, this is too much of a compliment to our Yecheng." The third brother was also surprised. No one would be willing to believe this matter. It was truly a national effort.
Seventh Brother shook his head and said, "No mistake. News came from Suzaku that they've sensed Xiangkong has become much weaker these past two days. And today they discovered that Xiangkong only left a small army behind to bluff, while the main force has disappeared. Before, I would have wondered what Xiangkong was up to. Now I don't have to wonder anymore. Xiangkong's emperor has gone mad, even crazier than Zhao Yarou!!"
"Hmph!" Zhao Yarou snorted coldly at this time, making the seventh brother feel numb.
"Dig a tunnel and escape!" Ye Lang suddenly said four simple words.
“…”
Just when everyone was speechless, a voice came from the sky, as if it heard Ye Lang's words and warned him.
"Xiao Yelang, I know you're very good at escaping, but you can escape from loss. Can others do that? This time, I'm going to massacre the whole city. No matter who it is, they will die, no matter where they escape to!!"
After this sentence, the faces of people in the whole city changed!
