Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 104
Liang Jun's main tent

Shi Yao ignored Yang Yan and Yang Miao's staring eyes, and looked at Zhu Youzhen quite unexpectedly.

"Since when did you doubt me?"

Zhu Youzhen laughed at herself and said
"Heh, I'm crazy but not stupid. I have a question in my mind"

"Shi Yao knows everything."

Zhu Youzhen looked at Shi Yao, who was calm and composed, with mixed feelings in her heart, and after a while, she opened her mouth to ask the doubts in her heart.

"Who are you working for?"

Shi Yao said nothing, a voice came from outside the tent
"She is a bad person, from the Valley of Tibetan Soldiers"

As soon as the voice fell outside the camp, Zhong Xiaokui slowly walked in with his hands behind his back, Shi Yao was not annoyed when his details were revealed, and she rolled her eyes at Zhong Xiaokui
"Why, haven't you returned to Xuanming Sect yet? Zhong Kui!"

Hearing that the three of Zhu Youzhen in the tent behaved differently, Yang Yan and Yang Miao looked at Zhong Xiaokui in shock.

"Zhong Xiaokui, you are Zhong Kui who has been missing for many years from the Xuanming Sect? Xiaokui, you have been the second brother's person from the beginning?"

Faced with Zhu Youzhen's questioning, Zhong Xiaokui did not answer, and after bowing his hands, he said:
"Your Majesty, Daliang is exhausted now, I hope you will take care of yourself"

Then he looked at Yang Yan and Yang Miao and said
"Yang Yan, Yang Miao, if you two don't want to be buried for Zhu Youzhen, come with me."

After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone's reactions and walked out of the tent, Yang Yan and Yang Miao looked at each other
"Is this the end for Daliang?"

After a while, the two came back to their senses and quickly followed Zhong Xiaokui. For a while, only Zhu Youzhen and Shi Yao were left in the tent. Zhu Youzhen smiled desolately at the departure of the three, and then looked at Shi Yao
"Although I have suspected your motives for a long time, I have never been willing to believe that you approached me just to kill me."

"It's not me, it's God who wants to kill you"

"why?"

"Because you act against the law, because you mess up the government and harm the country, because...you are the emperor of Daliang."

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen smiled sadly, got up and walked towards the dragon chair and stroked the armrest of the dragon chair, with memories in her eyes
"Hehe, the emperor? I have hated the emperor since I was a child! Since he became the emperor, he has never cared about me and my mother. But what does it matter, as long as my mother is with me is enough"

As Zhu Youzhen spoke, her nostalgia at the beginning turned into anger, as if the unbearable memory of that year appeared in front of her eyes, she continued to speak through gritted teeth

"However, Zhu Wen took away everything from me. He took away my mother! But I can only watch all this happen and do nothing. After my mother died, I heard about the Longquan treasure from Zhu Yougui. From then on, I decided to use my life as a gamble, I want to find the treasure of Longquan, find the medicine of elixir, and I want to bring my mother back to life!"

"I know I deserve to die. Ever since Li Xingyun destroyed his mother's body, I deserve to die. But I didn't die because of you."

Shi Yao listened to Zhu Youzhen's self-report with a calm face
"Because I look a lot like her?"

"It really does. Shi Yao, I have another question to ask you. In your eyes, am I a bad person?"

Facing Zhu Youzhen's question, Shi Yao lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, and then laughed at himself after a while

"Heh, you are not the only one who got lost in this troubled world?"

Zhu Youzhen seemed to have got the answer, she looked at Shi Yao pleadingly
"Shi Yao, I beg you for one thing. I am the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven has his own way to ascend to heaven. You go outside and wait, it won't delay you for too long."

Hearing this, Shi Yao was silent for a long time, then saluted Zhu Youzhen, turned around and left slowly, Zhu Youzhen raised her hand as if wanting to hold her back, and finally put down her holding hand dejectedly, looking at Shi Yao's leaving back with nostalgia in her eyes.

With Shi Yao's departure, only Zhu Youzhen was left in a daze, after a long time, Zhu Youzhen slowly pulled out her long sword, and looked out of the tent with nostalgia, as if she wanted to see Shi Yao through the curtain.

Shi Yao stood outside the tent, with complicated eyes flashing in his eyes, following the sound of the sword blade entering the flesh and cutting his throat, Shi Yao's delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

Just when Zhu Youzhen slayed himself, Li Ming, who was walking against the wind with Wang Yanzhang in his hand, looked back at Bianzhou City, a ray of golden light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help sighing when he saw the dragon spirit of the emperor slowly dissipating after the dragon chant
"Zhu Youzhen is dead"

Hearing this, Wang Yanzhang's burly body trembled, and he slowly closed his eyes. Li Ming glanced at Wang Yanzhang and then continued to float against the wind towards Qidi.

However, in half a day, Li Ming landed with Wang Yanzhang in Zhengzhou City where the flag of the Qi Army was flying. Li Ming asked Miao Chengtian to take Wang Yanzhang down to rest and then went straight to the temporary station.
After passing through several courtyards, as soon as Li Ming entered the door, he saw the Empress dressed in King Qi's costume. At this time, the Empress frowned as she looked at the secret letter in her hand.

Li Ming stepped out behind her and wrapped his arms around the empress's slender waist, smoothing her furrowed brows

"What's the matter but the battle is not going well?"

The empress lightly leaned on Li Ming's chest, feeling a sense of peace in her heart. She couldn't help but narrowed her eyes comfortably for a long time before handing the secret letter to Li Ming and speaking slowly.
"The war is on the contrary. Now Qi's army is in full swing, and Dengzhou, Xiangzhou, and Ruzhou have also been included in Qidi. Since then, half of Daliang's territory has been included in the bag."

Li Ming didn't receive the secret letter and looked down at the empress, as if he had expected it.
"Is there any movement from Wang Jian of Shu?"

The Empress nodded, and the corner of Li Ming's mouth twitched

"Hehe, isn't this just an excuse to send troops to Shu, why are you frowning?"

The empress suddenly looked at Li Ming when she heard the words
"You already expected that?"

Li Ming nodded in response to the empress's questioning eyes.

"Don't worry, since he, Wang Jian, dares to send troops, he will be the King of Shu to the end."

The empress didn't ask any more after hearing the words, leaning her head against Li Ming's chest, quietly listening to his heartbeat, and greedily inhaling the fragrance of his body.

After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly at Li Ming.
"Husband, let's have a baby."

Li Ming was taken aback when he heard the words, since they married the Empress, both of them have practiced the secret method of subduing the white tiger and cutting the red dragon.

Therefore, the two have been married for many years but still have no children. Now that the Empress suddenly said that she wants a child, Li Ming was a little caught off guard, but seeing the empress's serious expression, Li Ming also knew that the other party was not joking, so he nodded after thinking for a while

"Okay, I'll listen to you"

After finishing speaking, she picked up the delicate body of the empress, and the empress hurriedly slapped Li Ming's chest after she let out an exclamation.
"Why, you are not ashamed in broad daylight."

Li Ming twitched his mouth as he watched the empress want to refuse but still welcome.

"Didn't you say you wanted a child?"

The empress couldn't help but rolled her eyes

"That didn't make you so presumptuous during the day, I'm still King Qi now."

Li Ming heard the words, but he looked indifferent
"What's wrong with King Qi, aren't you still my daughter-in-law?"

"No face and no skin"

The empress muttered and didn't resist anymore, and then there was a burst of melancholy in the room
