Human Realm, Wei Imperial Territory.
The sudden change of old friends seemed to have caused the atmosphere in Parting Hatred Palace to become much quieter, but it also seemed like nothing had changed. The Dragon Rider Commander Bai Xiaoshan was still training his soldiers while sweating profusely. Guest Advisor Yuan Fushun was playing with his grandson in his courtyard. The Black General Lu Hanqing worked tirelessly at the Intoxicated Flower House, contributing to the salaries of the numerous women who had lost their footing. Wu Zixu was the same as usual, sighing in front of the mountain of documents.
Bai Yuge followed closely behind Ji Hyun-woon as usual.
Ji Hyun-woon was walking on the golden path, personally seeing Yan Chaoyang out. He had been in a high position for a long time, so he was naturally much more reserved. He did not speak along the way. Yan Zhaoyang didn't have an innate sense of harmony. He naturally let the silence ferment.
Zhuge Xiaoshan bit his lower lip and looked at Ji Hyun-woon, hesitating to speak.
Ji Hyun-woon understood and nodded slightly. He purposely slowed down his pace and fell behind with the silver-armored soldier Bai Yuge.
Yan Chaoyang looked at his beloved wife. He knew that she had something to say, so he took the initiative to speak first, "Ah Li did not forbid you from seeing me."
Zhuge Xiaoshan thought about how hard it had been to see her beloved and heard such words. Her eyes reddened and she turned her head away.
"The one you want to see might not be me." Yan Chaoyang continued.
"What do you mean?" Zhuge Xiaoshan wiped away her tears.
Yan Chaoyang said, "Every time I use the Demon God, I will suffer a backlash. That time, I will replace me. Ah Li does not want you to worry. "
Zhuge Xiaoshan was startled. She clenched her teeth and said, "Will every backlash lengthen the repercussions?"
Yan Chaoyang was surprised by his beloved wife's sensitivity. He remained silent and did not know how to respond.
Zhuge Xiaoshan said with tears in her eyes, "Senior Brother, if you go back, it will be unavoidable. If the backlash continues, what if your mind never returns?"
"I don't think so," Yan Chaoyang said.
Zhuge Xiaoshan did not understand. He anxiously stomped his feet and said, "Why not? That's the Nine Schools of Confucian orthodoxy, the overlords of the three realms. How can Swallow Dock fight against them? Why don't you think of something else first? "
"Since Eleven has made up his mind, it's an irreversible situation," Yan Chaoyang said softly.
Zhuge Xiaoshan gritted his teeth and said, "Then, then I'll go too. Even if I die, I want to die with Senior Brother!"
"You can't" Yan Chaoyang replied.
"Why?" Zhuge Xiaoshan was annoyed.
"If Miss Xiaoshan goes, Half-Mountain Hut won't be able to stay out of this." Ji Hyun-woon, who was behind them, could not help but interrupt.
Bai Yuge said sarcastically, "Regardless of whether we can save Yan Li this time, Swallow Dock has challenged the authority of the Nine Schools of Confucian orthodoxy. They will definitely be suppressed. Such a great force will collapse in no time. Half-Mountain Hut still wants to get involved. Are they tired of living?"
"Shut up!" Ji Hyun-woon glared at Bai Yuge. The latter was not afraid of anything except Ji Hyun-woon, so he could only shut up. Ji Hyun-woon frowned and said, "Miss Xiaoshan, Little Bai's words are not without reason. I advise you to stay in the Palace of Hatred and observe how the situation develops. Maybe that stupid pig has other ways to escape? It's said that scourges live for thousands of years. The stupid pig may be a little stupid, but the scourge is not shallow. It won't die so easily! Naturally, as long as that stupid pig is alive, Swallow Dock will continue to exist. There are ways to think of everything, right? "
Yan Chaoyang looked at Ji Hyun-woon with gratitude.
Zhuge Xiaoshan calmed down and said, "If one is overcautious and indecisive, one will not be able to achieve anything. Since I have married into Swallow Dock, I am one of them. Naturally, I will advance and retreat with them. I, Zhuge Xiaoshan, may be a woman, but I have wielded the sword for sixteen years. I am not a weak and powerless person. If there are any obstacles in the way of Swallow Dock, I will naturally flatten them with my sword! "
"Good spirit!" Ji Hyun-woon's eyes brightened. He actually saw the shadow of his idol in Zhuge Xiaoshan. He clapped his hands and laughed. "Mister Yan Second, it seems that you will not be able to convince Miss Xiaoshan. That is good too. You and your wife are a perfect couple. It will be a wonderful story. "
Yan Chaoyang was filled with admiration. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? He no longer insisted.
Once they were out of the palace, Zhao Ting greeted them with a fist salute. "Mister Second, Madam Second."
"Mm." Yan Chaoyang nodded and turned to Ji Hyun-woon with a fist salute. "Farewell!"
Ji Hyun-woon returned a fist salute. "Mister Yan Second, although the Palace of Wei and Swallow Dock are on good terms, millions of lives are at stake. We are powerless to intervene. Please forgive us."
"You are exaggerating." Yan Chaoyang smiled and cupped his fist again. He then turned and left.
Watching the three of them board the ship and leave, Ji Hyun-woon's half-calm expression suddenly turned gloomy. He turned and left.
Bai Yuge caught up with him. "If Your Majesty feels bad, why don't you send me? At least I have done my part. I believe that Swallow Dock will have nothing to say!"
"What do you know!" Ji Hyun-woon said snappily. "If it was just a normal relationship, why would the Palace of Wei care so much? It's just a dock! What the Palace of Wei can't repay is Yan Li's kindness in helping us repel the Fatetian Sect. I distinguish between kindness and hatred. Now that he is in trouble, it's unreasonable for me to not help … "
Bai Yuge said softly, "Didn't General Lu and Mister Yuan help him when he was trapped in Tianjing? Just treat it as repayment. There's nothing wrong with that. "
"You have the cheek to mention it to me?" Ji Hyun-woon stopped in his tracks. His eyes were wide open. He scolded loudly. "Those two sly old fools helped at the last moment. They're like little soldiers on the battlefield, waving their flags and pretending that they participated in the war. Isn't that ridiculous? You're a disgrace to me! "
Not long after, the sly old fools gathered in the palace.
Ji Hyun-woon's face darkened as he swept his gaze over them.
In the class, Wu Zixu and Bai Xiaoshan were calm, but Yuan Fushun and Lu Hanqing were frightened. Before they came, they had been warned by Bai Yuge. Under Ji Hyun-woon's increasingly dignified aura, they broke out in a cold sweat.
Wu Zixu coughed lightly and broke the silence. "Your Majesty, the reason why Parting Hatred Palace can stand firm in Jambu Kingdom, other than the Dragon Riders, is because of the Great Formation of Heaven Defying."
Ji Hyun-woon said coldly, "Without the formation, Parting Hatred Palace's battle prowess is greatly reduced. I know this very well. I don't need you to remind me."
Wu Zixu shrugged his shoulders. He gave the other three a look of 'good luck to themselves' before retreating to the side.
Bai Xiaoshan said, "What exactly is Your Majesty planning?"
"I want to save Yan Li. I want to protect the millions of lives in Wei's territory." Ji Hyun-woon directly threw the difficult problem to the people below the throne. "Think of the specific method yourselves. Otherwise, what is the use of me keeping you around?"
Yuan Fushun smiled bitterly. "To challenge the dignity of the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy and protect Wei's territory at the same time, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult …"
"It is very difficult." Ji Hyun-woon did not lose his temper. He said bluntly, "However, if it can be done, Wei's territory will rise to a higher level. Not only must I protect the foundation that Royal Father left behind, I must also make its reputation so great that even the Three Realms will not dare to provoke us! "
The people below the throne were shocked. They looked at each other. They knew in their hearts that the Lord Xiao Wang of the past was gone forever.
Lu Hanqing clenched his fists tightly. He said with some excitement, "Even the Three Realms will not dare to provoke us. Your Majesty has made such a grand aspiration. I am willing to sacrifice my life for it without hesitation!" After saying this, he turned to Wu Zixu and said with a burning gaze, "Sir Wu, I know that you definitely have a way. Please advise me!"
Wu Zixu frowned slightly. His eyes turned and landed on Bai Xiaoshan. The latter only twisted his neck and muttered to himself, "I haven't moved my muscles in a long time." Seeing this, he shook his head helplessly. "Since you have reached a consensus, I am just a mere civil official. What else can I say? It is not that there is no way, it is just that … "
"Don't just that, hurry up and say it!" Ji Hyun-woon interrupted impatiently.
Wu Zixu sighed and said, "It is enough to leave with a good reason. That Li Ku, isn't he in the Celestial Realm? "
Ji Hyun-woon's eyes lit up. He suddenly stood up. "Wonderful! Wu Zixu, you are the crafty crafty crafty crafty crafty one!"
Wu Zixu secretly rolled his eyes.
Ji Hyun-woon laughed loudly. "Generals, listen to my orders. Bai Xiaoshan will lead the Dragonriders into battle with me. The rest of you, defend Parting Hatred Palace. Nothing can go wrong!"
"Understood!"
