"Greetings, Your Majesty."
In Zichen Palace, Wang Yuanlang knelt on one knee and lowered his head.
"Let's talk about White Sun Palace first." A cold and dignified voice came from behind the curtains. Apart from these two, there were other meanings. It seemed to be anger or exhaustion.
"Yes." Wang Yuanlang said in a low voice, "I was ordered to investigate the Willow Forest Monastery's massacre. My subordinate, Du Wei, accidentally ran into Yan Li at the murder scene of Zen Master Fa Xiang's death. They got into an argument and died."
In one sentence, he summarized the entire process and only pointed out the outcome.
"I went to the monastery to investigate, but I couldn't find any clues. The murderer is too cunning." Wang Yuanlang continued, "However, I always had my suspicions. When I returned to the capital, I secretly followed Yan Li and discovered that he was in contact with an unknown person and conspired against White Sun Palace. I believe that Yan Li is related to Zen Master Fa Xiang's death. Connecting this to Yan Shiyi, who is missing, the monastery might have been destroyed by Yanshan Robber. "
"Where's the evidence?" Ji Zhiyuan asked.
Wang Yuanlang had already prepared a script. He sneered in his heart and said, "Other than coveting the White Sun Palace's treasures, there's another reason why he had to do it: the Ice Soul Dew."
Ji Zhiyuan understood what he meant and said lightly, "Continue."
"Instructor Shen survived because of this." Wang Yuanlang said, "Even so, it was built on the foundation of the monastery's destruction. The Heavenly Dao has eyes. Yan Li was trapped in White Sun Palace by Little Pu Shu. Even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to live for ten years without food and water."
"What happened?"
"Little Pu Shu unknowingly purged the resentful spirits in White Sun Palace. The spatial door was closed because of this."
Ji Zhiyuan said sternly, "So, when Yan Li isn't here, you and Wang Ba think that even if you touch Yanshan Robber, I won't do anything to you?"
Wang Yuanlang's heart shivered, he hastily said, "Your lowly officer thought that Yanshan Robber's crime is extremely heinous and must be eliminated. I was also afraid that a long delay would bring about many unforeseen events, that's why I acted first and reported later. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Ji Zhiyuan's beautiful eyes were filled with suppressed anger. After a long time, she slowly said, "It has always been a matter of course for soldiers to suppress bandits. Why would I blame you? Are there any survivors in Lonemoon Restaurant? "
Wang Yuanlang's eyes flickered as he said, "The traitors led by Yan Chaoyang stubbornly resisted and refused to surrender. All of them died in the hands of Marshal Father."
Ji Zhiyuan said, "Now that things have come to this, why haven't the two instructors returned?"
"He said that he doesn't want to leave until White Sun Palace reopens," said Wang Yuanlang.
Ji Zhiyuan tiredly closed his eyes. "I understand."
Wang Yuanlang's heart skipped a beat. He said, "Your Majesty, Lonemoon Restaurant has been destroyed, but there are still many survivors of Yanshan Robber. Yan Shiyi and Yan Wushuang have yet to be executed. Your lowly officer thinks that if we don't get rid of them, they will become a huge hidden danger."
Seeing that Ji Zhiyuan's face had turned pale, Yang An angrily said, "Isn't this all because of you, father and son! Beating the grass and alerting the snake, are you trying to embarrass Your Majesty? Rebels and traitors! "
"Eunuch Yang, you can eat more, but you can't speak nonsense!" Wang Yuanlang's face darkened in displeasure. He slowly stood up. "Marshal Father and I are loyal to Your Majesty and the court. The sun and moon can be our witness. We have never had any disloyalty. Eunuch Yang, you are slandering my Martial God Manor …"
He glared at him and shouted sternly, "What are your intentions?"
Yang An was forced to take a step back. His face was pale, and he trembled as he pointed at him. "You … you, father and son … have gone too far!"
"Enough!" Ji Zhiyuan said coldly. "We will discuss the matter of Yanshan Robber later. All of you are dismissed!"
"But Your Majesty …" Wang Yuanlang was anxious. "Yan Shiyi is hiding in the dark. He could appear at any time …"
Ji Zhiyuan suddenly stood up. "I said that's enough. Get lost!"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider." Wang Yuanlang's face was full of unwillingness, but he did not dare to push him further.
When he returned to the Martial God Manor, a servant walked over and said, "Young Master, Madam has asked you to see her when you return."
"I understand." He went to find Qin Yulian.
Qin Yulian was sitting in the main hall drinking tea. When she saw her son return, she put down her teacup and asked, "How was it? What did Your Majesty say? "
"Mother, didn't I tell you long ago? It's fine. You don't have to worry." Wang Yuanlang sat across from her.
"Sigh, this world belongs to Your Majesty. The glory of our Martial God Manor is all because of the imperial court. It's better not to embarrass her too much …" Qin Yulian sighed. "Don't you admire her? If you treat her like this, she will hate you even more."
Wang Yuanlang sneered and said, "I've thought it through. As long as our Martial God Manor is strong enough, she will have to marry us even if she doesn't want to."
After a pause, he said, "Mother, I won't talk to you anymore." He stood up and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Not long after, he arrived at a quiet courtyard. There were two guards guarding the door. When they saw him, they quickly bowed. "Young Master."
"Mm, she didn't try to escape again, did she?" Wang Yuanlang nodded.
"She's much more obedient today. Maybe she's resigned to her fate." The guard said as he unlocked the door.
Wang Yuanlang pushed the door open and entered. A delicate fragrance like that of orchids and musk assaulted his nostrils. He sniffed in enjoyment. "There's no woman more fragrant than you in this world."
Li Xiang Jun was the only one in the world who could emit such a fragrance.
After being imprisoned for a few days, Li Xiang Jun's clothes were still neat. Her long black hair hung down like clouds and was somewhat messy.
She sat at the corner of the bed and hugged her knees expressionlessly. She looked like a puppet that had lost its soul.
"Have you thought it through?" Wang Yuanlang walked over and sat on the bed. "Either tell me the true identity of the Yan Dragon Butcher or be my woman. I've already generously given you a chance to choose. You should know that if you exceed the limit of my tolerance, I'll get you even if I have to use force."
"Bastard!" Li Xiang Jun glared at him coldly.
"Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit." Wang Yuanlang stretched out his hand and grabbed her feet.
"Let go of me!" Li Xiang Jun's expression changed greatly.
Wang Yuanlang ignored her struggle and grabbed her feet tightly. He put it under his nose and sniffed. He couldn't help but say intoxicatedly, "There's not a single part of your body that isn't beautiful. You're really a beauty made by heaven. Unfortunately, you're following the wrong person. Yan Li died in the White Sun Palace and the Lonely Moon Restaurant is gone. What else can't you let go of? If you follow me, I'll let you enjoy all the glory and wealth in the world. "
"I won't follow you even if I die!" Li Xiang Jun's face was full of hatred. "As long as I'm alive, I won't let your Martial God Manor have peace!"
Wang Yuanlang flew into a rage and reached out to tear his clothes.
"Young Master, Young Master … Madam wants you to go …"
At this time, a servant's voice came from outside.
"What's the matter now?" Wang Yuanlang shouted impatiently.
"She said it's related to Master."
When Wang Yuanlang heard this, he calmed down a little. He glared at Li Xiang Jun and said, "I'll give you two days. If I don't get a satisfactory answer by then, I don't know what will happen!" After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left.
When he returned to the main hall, he frowned and said, "Mother, what happened again?"
Qin Yulian was holding a scroll of something and said in a hurry, "His Majesty has issued an imperial edict to demote your father."
"What?" Wang Yuanlang was shocked. He took the imperial edict and read it.
"Wang Ba left his post without permission and slaughtered innocent people. He was stripped of his Martial God title and returned to the capital to await further orders. Du Sheng will temporarily take over the position of Marshal."
Wang Yuanlang's face immediately twisted and he crumpled it into a ball. "Wow, I want to see who will stop Western Liang without my father!"
… …
Aunt Li had gotten up before dawn to pack her luggage.
When it was almost dawn, she took out a dusty urn from the basement of her house. The urn was tightly sealed with mud. She didn't know what was inside, but it was a little heavy.
She took a cloth and wiped the urn clean. Then, she tied the urn with hemp rope and carried it on her broad back. Her luggage was tied to her stomach.
She opened the door and stood at the door, looking around the house she lived in.
Finally, she resolutely strode out and walked towards the city gate.
At this time, the gate opened.
"Hey, where are you going? Don't you have a tea stall?" The city guard knew her.
"Watch your door. Mind your own business." Aunt Li's temper was as hot as ever.
"Aunt, it's not that I want to criticize you, but if you don't change your temper, no one will want you in this life." The city guard sneered.
"Pah, it's none of your business whether I want you or not. Little bastard, get out of my way!"
This was Aunt Li's temper. Those who knew her were used to it, so they didn't care.
But they didn't expect that Aunt Li would never come back after leaving the city.
Very few people knew Aunt Li's real name. They all called her Aunt Li.
She had lived in Liang City for more than ten years, and no one had ever doubted her identity.
Her real name was Li Kuofu, a name that didn't sound like a woman's.
After leaving the city, she started to walk faster. At first, she just walked quickly, but gradually, she started to run. Her body was like a mountain, but when she ran, she was like a gust of wind.
It was like a tornado.
The sandstorm swept up by the tornado reached the sky and covered the earth.
Following the path that Yan Wu Shuang had taken, she chased her to the abandoned Sand City. She saw many corpses.
So she continued to chase. After chasing for about four hours, when the sun was high in the sky, she came to a big canyon that had been eroded by the sandstorm. She could vaguely hear shouts from the bottom of the canyon.
She stood at the edge of the canyon and looked down. She saw Yan Wu Shuang being surrounded by dozens of people. On the other side of the cliff, there was an archer holding a bow, ready to shoot at any time.
She didn't care about ordinary archers.
But this person's name was Zhao Bingren.
So she randomly picked up a stone, aimed at the archer, and threw it.
Zhao Bingren's face tightened. He looked up and quickly dodged to the side. He shouted coldly, "Who are you!" Then he recognized Aunt Li. He couldn't help but be startled. "It's you? What are you doing here instead of running your tea stall? "
"I came to f * ck your mother!" Aunt Li said.
"What did you say!" Zhao Bingren glared at her.
"I said," Aunt Li said word by word, "I came to f * ck your mother!"
"Who the hell are you?" Zhao Bingren's face turned ugly.
Aunt Li walked to the edge of the cliff and jumped down.
