Chapter 656 Returning Home
"You are actually a good emperor..."
"Rumors are really harmful." Lu Chaochao patted Xuan Jichuan's shoulder, his little face full of emotion.
Xuan Jichuan smiled reservedly, not feeling guilty at all after receiving her praise.
All the civil and military officials in the court smiled but said nothing. Just before the light of an incense stick, he personally chopped off the emperor's uncle's head. This is the only remaining bloodline of the Xuan family in the world...
To put it bluntly, if Xuan Jichuan died without leaving behind a son or daughter, the Xuan family would have been extinct.
However, he was a madman, and it didn't matter to him whether it was broken or not.
Xuan Jichuan carried Chao Chao into the hall and placed him on the dragon throne.
Lu Chaochao looked left and right, and soon, the imperial kitchen brought in various snacks, all of which looked like children's favorites. Xuan Jichuan even fed her himself with a smile.
General Mo huddled in a corner, trying his best to hide himself.
King Dong Ling looked at him coldly, his eyes bloodshot. He dared to plot against Chao Chao! !
I almost exposed my true nature in front of Chao Chao!
Damn it!
He didn't want Chao Chao to know about his brutal murders, and he didn't want Chao Chao to think that he had saved a devil with blood on his hands. He was fearless in front of no one in the world except Lu Chaochao's disappointed eyes.
"General Mo... you left home when you were young, and your elderly parents died of illness in your hometown. I'm sure you feel guilty, right?"
General Mo knelt in front of the hall, breathing heavily, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Now, I allow you to retire and return home to accompany your parents at their graves."
"This lunch box is a token of your filial piety."
"The concubines in the mansion cannot live without you, so go with you." He looked at General Mo with a gentle smile. General Mo was a sharp knife of Prime Minister Zheng.
Back then, he abandoned Prime Minister Zheng and joined me.
It's not about abandoning darkness and joining the light. Instead, he had an affair with a concubine in Prime Minister Zheng's mansion, and after being discovered by the Prime Minister, the concubine committed suicide.
He then took the opportunity to join Xuan Jichuan. As Xuan Jichuan came to power, General Mo, relying on the fact that he had helped the new emperor seize the throne, was considered a meritorious minister.
He also acted more and more high-profile in the court.
During this natural disaster, he had repeatedly submitted petitions to the emperor, requesting to lead troops into Beizhao to rob food and property.
But it was rejected by King Dongling.
At this moment, King Dong Ling's words made General Mo lose all color.
"I heard that General Mo had a hard time having children. He only has one son at such an age. The child is young, so raise him in the capital. The child cannot withstand the tiring journey. General Mo, you must set off early." He had a indifferent expression. General Mo had many concubines in his mansion, but there was only a three-year-old child.
Just as General Mo was about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, a hermit appeared and covered his mouth, then half-forced and half-supported him away.
"The child is young, don't scare him. After all, the Mo family has only this precious baby. He is the only one to carry on the family tradition..." King Dong Ling said indifferently.
He doesn't like people like General Mo.
The army he led burned, killed, looted and robbed women wherever they went, which was really hard to be happy about. Furthermore, it was said that he had an unspeakable problem and was quite eccentric in matters between men and women.
There was no telling how many women and children were hiding in the cellar of his house.
Although Xuan Jichuan is not a good person, he never extends his hand to women, children and adolescents.
Now, it is time to cut it down in a fair and open manner.
"What is he saying?" Lu Chaochao asked when he saw General Mo's mouth was covered and he was mumbling something.
"He is thanking His Majesty." said the eunuch behind King Dong Ling.
"How can we not be grateful for allowing his whole family to return to his hometown together? Our Majesty does not like such politeness, so we have to take him away." The eunuch blocked Lu Chaochao's gaze and handed over cakes with a smile.
After a while, the attention was diverted.
By the time Lu Chaochao finished his meal, it was already dark.
"I want to go outside and take a look, is that okay?" Lu Chaochao pointed outside the palace gate.
The eunuch said bitterly, "Your Highness, there have been some accidents in our capital. Monsters appear at night... I'm afraid they will hurt Your Highness."
Lu Chaochao looked up at Xuan Jichuan. The little guy clasped his hands together and looked at her pitifully.
Xuan Jichuan chuckled, with smiles in his eyes.
"Let the hermit follow her. If anything goes wrong, bring him back with your head."
He glanced at the sky. The sun was about to set, and his blood seemed to be boiling again. He said apologetically, "I have something important to do. I can't accompany Chao Chao out of the palace..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Go and deal with state affairs." Lu Chaochao waved her hand and ran outside.
When Xuan Jichuan saw Chao Chao walking away, he gripped the edge of the table tightly with both hands, and the veins on the back of his hands were visible.
His eyes were red.
"Your Majesty, please go to the quiet room quickly." The eunuch was shocked and afraid, and did not dare to get close to him at all.
King Dong Ling looked at him, and the eunuch lowered his head, shaking uncontrollably. Your Majesty's eyes are not like those of a living person.
As he looked away, the eunuch lost all his strength and fell to the ground as if he had been fished out of the water.
After Lu Chaochao and others left the palace, Zhuifeng turned around and looked at King Dongling.
"There's something wrong with him." But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
After the long journey, A Wu was exhausted, so she settled down at an inn not far from the imperial palace, and Zhu Mo stayed there to take care of her.
Lu Chaochao then went with Shanshan, Zhuifeng, Xie Yuzhou and others.
Ah Man stayed at the post station to pack the luggage.
"I've been to Dongling before. The people of Dongling are tough, and there is no curfew at night, so it's very lively. But now you can't see anyone on the streets day or night..." The accompanying guards were full of surprise.
Lanterns were hung on both sides of the road, and there was no sound or even a light in the surrounding houses.
But Lu Chaochao could feel that someone was quietly listening to the sounds outside through the window.
A breeze blew by, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground, and I seemed to hear some sound in my ears.
Everyone stopped and Zhuifeng's ears moved slightly.
Before he could jump onto the city wall, he saw countless black shadows surging towards him. Their bodies were extremely fast, but one could vaguely see that they were hard. There was a roaring sound coming from his throat, his eyes were glowing red, and his eyeballs were gray.
They poured out from all directions and surrounded the few people in an instant.
Shanshan was already dumbfounded, tightly grasping her sister's sleeves: "Dear, dear child! Baby, Wo, can you find a baby!"
You can't leave me alone, I'm useful!
Xie Yuzhou almost laughed out loud. How deep a shadow has your sister left on you?
It's really pitiful.
"They are the same as the monsters that attacked us along the way. They have not lost their vitality, but have lost consciousness. They only know how to attack until they die." Zhuifeng stood in front but did not harm the monsters' lives.
But they are not afraid of death, and do not feel pain. Their arms and legs are twisted in strange postures, and they will crawl forward as long as they have a breath left.
Xie Yuzhou's scalp tingled when he saw this. What on earth was this thing? !
He was trembling while holding the wooden fish.
"I haven't married yet, I can't die here!"
"Who the hell is this? He wants to destroy the mortal world!!"
