Chapter 1404: Chapter 1405 Stirred Up a Hornet’s Nest
“Yes, it’s related to the Youying Pearl.” He was incredibly surprised, suddenly stood up, and said, “Fortunately, back then at Tiann Mountain, I disrupted Yu Jizi’s spell. Otherwise, it might have actually succeeded. Zijin, we can’t delay any longer. Quickly pack up your things. We set off tomorrow morning. Yu Jizi too is nearing the end of his lifespan, and his abilities, like mine, will gradually diminish. If we don’t kill him now, once he switches to a young and healthy body, it will be at least sixty years before anyone can deal with him.”
“Alright, Master, you take a rest first. I’ll go prepare things. We’ll depart in the morning.”
…
The troops of Zhuzhao Country have already declared war on Nanzhao Country. Nanzhao Country now faces internal and external troubles, and the Nanzhao Emperor feels a bitter pain in his heart!
“Have you found the Great Shaman?”
“No, Your Majesty, the Great Shaman is always so elusive. Unless he appears himself, no one knows where he has gone!”
The Nanzhao Emperor collapsed weakly into his chair, his eyes fixed and staring.
“Where have the Zhuzhao Country forces reached?”
“They’ve crossed Mount Yufeng.”
“Mount Yufeng? So quickly? What about General Duan? He’s been battling Yue Tingfang for years. He shouldn’t have been defeated so swiftly.”
The person below lowered his head and mumbled, “This ti their main commander isn’t Yue Tingfang, it’s Yue Rujing. He said we broke our promise and intends to personally lead the troops to flatten Taihe City.”
“Is it him?” The Nanzhao Emperor rembers a sowhat effeminate, incredibly handso young man. Back then, he heard that in General Duan’s camp, he was undefeated. Finally gaining General Duan’s approval to marry his daughter, he only smiled it off, not expecting he truly was that formidable.
The Nanzhao Emperor was stunned for a mont and suddenly said, “Didn’t he like General Duan’s daughter? Where’s Miss Duan? Let Miss Duan go…”
Everyone thought the Emperor was close to madness. Why didn’t he do this earlier?
Suddenly, he ordered the capture of Jin Zijin and his group, catching the entire nation off guard.
“Report…”
A guard rushed in anxiously, knelt on the ground, and said, “Your Majesty, citizens have gathered outside the palace gates.”
The Nanzhao Emperor felt overwheld, stood up, and asked, “What’s wrong with them this ti? Why are they gathering outside the palace?”
The guard said, “Soone spread a rumor that the doctor Gu has been secretly executed by you, thus provoking the anger of the Zhuzhao Country’s massive army. Now… now the citizens demand Your Majesty to co out and give an explanation.”
“Who spread this?” The Nanzhao Emperor, furious, descended from the high platform, grabbed the guard by the collar, and said, “Go, investigate for and find out who spread it. Once found, punish them severely without delay.”
“Yes, I will go at once.”
The Nanzhao Emperor kicked the guard away.
Ministers of Nanzhao Country looked at each other, deeply worried as they watched the Nanzhao Emperor in such a state.
The Nanzhao Emperor himself was filled with regret. How could he have been so muddle-headed, believing in the Great Shaman’s words?
No, it wasn’t that the Great Shaman’s thod of immortality was flawed. He realized that he, indeed, hadn’t handled the situation well.
As for Gu Youyou, from the very beginning, he should never have allowed her to gain a foothold in Nanzhao Country.
How could he have forgotten how important the will of the Nanzhao people was, letting a woman from another country beco the reincarnation of the Shamaness? That was already a grave mistake.
The Nanzhao army suffered repeated defeats, partly because everyone believed their Emperor had committed an act of betrayal, killing the doctor Gu, disturbing their hearts.
