At that moment, the side lady, Princess Ji Hui, was the closest to the explosion. She was standing on the third step of the altar, more than ten meters away from the explosion.
At the time of the explosion, she only felt a huge force pouncing on her, directly pushing her to the ground.
However, she was quickly caught by the ministers behind her and was not injured.
She had watched as her husband, Duke Lan Shi, was smashed into pieces and then watched as Princess Mo Ping, whom she hated, perished.
The first thing she felt was fear and shock.
However, immediately after, her eyes lit up and her heart trembled. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
She had originally given up hope that her son would win the throne.
Everyone knew that the Crown Prince would definitely win by sending 300,000 troops to conquer the Rouran while the Raging Wave Kingdom was watching.
Once the Ashi family was defeated and the Rouran homeland was reclaimed, Crown Prince Lan Tu's position would be unshakable. Her son, Lan Ye, would no longer have a chance.
Therefore, in the past month, she and Lan Ye had used all their strength to try and stop Lan Tu's war plan. However, they had failed in the end. Reclaiming the Rouran and washing away the national humiliation was the collective will of the entire Yelan Principality.
However, the scene before her had once again reversed the situation.
These thoughts circulated in her mind, and she reacted in just a second.
At that moment, everyone was shocked and dazed. She knelt on the steps and cried, "The Grand Duke has passed away! The heavens have given us a warning!"
The moment she said that, all the ministers present trembled and knelt on the steps in an orderly manner.
Princess Ji Hui continued to kneel and kowtow. She raised her voice and said, "The Grand Duke has passed away! The heavens have given us a warning!"
Most of the generals of the Yelan Principality supported Prince Lan Tu while the ministers supported Marquis Lan Ye.
At that moment, most of the people kneeling there were ministers.
Soon, a second person shouted, "The Grand Duke has passed away! The heavens have given us a warning!"
The third, fourth, fifth …
Soon, hundreds of people shouted in unison, "The Grand Duke has passed away! The heavens have given us a warning!"
At the same time, hundreds of Spirit Masters rushed to the heaven worshipping platform.
A few hundred warriors and a dozen top-notch experts flew up to the Heaven's Altar.
Princess Mo Ping was dead, but her corpse was intact.
Grand Duke Orchid Rock's corpse was already in pieces, and even his head was no longer complete.
A deep pit was left on the Heaven Worship Platform. At this moment, there was no longer any trace of it.
The white phosphorous burned out, the gunpowder burned out, and the slaked lime completely dissipated. All that was left were the transparent glass shards.
However, these spiritual masters and martial arts masters were looking for assassins.
After searching every corner of the Heaven's Altar, there was not a single trace of an assassin.
Moreover, none of the Spirit Masters found any traces of experts passing by.
Everyone present had clearly seen Grand Duke Orchid Stone standing on the Heaven's Altar, drawing his sword and shouting, when he was suddenly blown to pieces.
That earth-shattering explosion seemed to have descended from the sky, but it also seemed to have been born from the ground.
It was not an assassin, and there were no traces of any assassin.
The eunuch experts and Spirit Masters came to the side lady, Ji Hui, and bowed. "Madam, there were no assassins."
Princess Ji Hui sobbed. "I was the closest and saw it clearly. It was divine lightning from the heavens, passed down through the Heaven's Tablet, and killed the Grand Duke. It was a warning from the heavens. "
Everyone's hearts trembled when they heard this.
They had come to worship the heavens, but divine lightning had descended to warn them. Why?
They must have done something wrong to anger the Heavenly Dragon.
What exactly had they done wrong? The only thing they needed to do now was for the Crown Prince to send 300,000 troops to conquer the Rouran.
Of course, the Crown Prince was right to send troops, but the timing wasn't right, and they had angered the Dragon.
Princess Ji Hui said, "I said more than a month ago that May is the Dragon's Christmas. This year is the Dragon Emperor's 3,000th birthday, and the expedition is unknown. Some people refused to listen and angered the Heavenly Dragon. The pitiful Grand Duke has to suffer for his son. "
If Søren was here, he would be extremely shocked.
Th-this is even related? That's too awesome!
May was the Dragon's Christmas, so they couldn't go to war.
This year was the Dragon Emperor's 3,000th birthday, so they couldn't go to war.
This was a completely groundless reason. If there was a need, Søren could find one every day.
Then, Princess Ji Hui cried, "Collect the Grand Duke and Madam's corpses immediately. I want to go to the Dragon Temple to ask for forgiveness, and ask the High Priest to dispel my doubts."
The highest leader of the Dragon Temple in the Four Kingdoms was the Holy Priest, so in the Duchy, it was the High Priest.
Then, Princess Ji Hui, under the protection of a few hundred experts and a few thousand soldiers, headed for the Dragon Temple.
…
Four hours later!
"Oh … Your Highness, don't be like this … Ah …"
The High Priest of the Dragon Temple of the Yelan Principality, Yun Luo, was pushed to the ground. His entire body and soul were trembling.
This was because Princess Ji Hui didn't say anything. She pulled down his pants and rode on him.
In just three minutes, Yun Luo's body went limp.
Side Madam Ji Hui raised her head. She was in her forties this year, but she was beautiful and charming at this moment.
"Your Highness, why … why did you do this?" Yun Luo's voice was trembling.
"Hmph …" Princess Ji Hui chuckled. "Then, twenty years ago, when we were studying at the Dragon Temple, you peeked at me when I was bathing?"
Instantly, Priest Yun Luo sighed and said, "But, you are already married, and I am a priest now."
Princess Ji Hui held Yun Luo's face and asked, "Luo, I'm facing a matter of life and death. Are you going to help me?"
Yun Luo said, "The Dragon Temple doesn't interfere with worldly power."
Ji Hui said, "Then I will make our affair public."
Yun Luo's expression changed. "But, but you were the one who charged at me. I couldn't stop you …"
"Then why did you force yourself?" Princess Ji Hui said.
Yun Luo's face turned red. His face turned green and white.
Princess Ji Hui said, "Luo, you don't come from a good background. You couldn't even climb to the position of a priest in your life. How did you become a High Priest? It's because twenty years ago, you had a crush on me. "
Yun Luo's eyes narrowed.
Princess Ji Hui said, "My brother, the Emperor, raised your status so that I could have strong support. He made you the High Priest of the Yelan Principality before the age of fifty. Don't tell me you don't know this? "
Yun Luo's heart trembled. Of course he knew.
Ji Hui said, "Behind me is Yeonti. My niece, Princess Ji Soo-ning, will become the Sky Priest in the Dragon Temple. I don't need to teach you what to do, right?"
Yun Luo remained silent.
Ji Hui said, "All these years, I didn't ask you to do anything because the time wasn't right. But now, the time has come."
Yun Luo closed his eyes and fell into a difficult struggle.
Ji Hui said, "I don't need you to do anything else. I just need you to announce that Grand Duke Lanshi's death is a warning from the heavens."
A few minutes later, Yun Luo opened his eyes and nodded. "Alright."
…
Grand Duke Lanshi's death was like a tsunami that engulfed the entire Yelan Principality.
Everyone in Orchid City was in a state of panic. They made countless guesses about Grand Duke Lanshi's death.
Then, Dragon Temple's High Priest Yun Luo announced that Grand Duke Lanshi's death wasn't due to an assassin. It was a warning from the heavens.
Then, Marquis Snow, Lan Ye, and Princess Ji Hui tightened their grip on the 20,000 troops they had and placed the entire Orchid City under lockdown.
All the civil officials came out in full force.
Princess Ji Hui frequently entered the residences of the high-ranking generals that guarded Orchid City.
If they weren't allowed to enter, she would barge in.
If they could coerce or bribe, she would do so.
If they couldn't coerce or bribe, she would strip them naked, push them down, and ride them.
This noble, voluptuous, and charming woman was willing to sell her body time and time again for her son.
In just one day.
There was only one voice left in the upper echelons of Orchid City. Grand Duke Lanshi's death was a warning from the heavens.
Crown Prince Lan Tu led 300,000 troops on the Dragon Emperor's 3,000th birthday, during the Dragon's fifth month. This angered the Dragon.
Grand Duke Lanshi died on behalf of his son!
That night, countless civil officials submitted a petition, declaring that the country couldn't be without a ruler. Since Crown Prince Lan Tu had offended the Dragon, they asked Marquis Snow, Lan Ye, to immediately inherit the throne.
As for Grand Duke Lanshi's mutilated corpse that had just been stitched up, no one cared about it.
…
At noon, after the hourglass emptied, the explosion didn't sound. Søren was still a little nervous.
But three minutes later, the explosion sounded. A few seconds later, it reached Søren's ears.
With this explosion, Grand Duke Lanshi was dead for sure.
Søren said to Princess Jung Yeon, "Let's go. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to."
Then, the two of them left Orchid City.
However, this time, they were riding a liger. It wasn't Søren's, but the one prepared by Jung Yeon.
The two of them rode together. Not only that, but Søren was also lying on Jung Yeon's thighs.
"Is this … okay?" Søren asked.
"If I don't want the wounds on your thighs to open up, this is the only way," Jung Yeon said.
And so, Søren lay comfortably on her soft, supple, and fragrant thighs.
"How long did you prepare to kill Grand Duke Lanshi?" Jung Yeon asked.
Søren said, "That gunpowder brick was prepared two months ago. As for the experts who infiltrated Orchid City, they did so three months ago at the same time as they entered Rouran. "
Jung Yeon glanced at Søren, who was lying on her thighs in a sorry state.
In other words, before Søren entered Rouran City, he had already planned to assassinate Grand Duke Lanshi.
In other words, before Aslo was destroyed, he had already guessed that the Yelan Principality would invade Rouran, so he had already planned how to save Rouran.
This was no longer a case of taking one step at a time. Before he even made his move, he had already calculated the next few moves.
"Your intelligence is amazing …" Jung Yeon said.
"I thought you were going to say that you were afraid," Søren said.
"You're too stubborn, so there's no need to be afraid," Jung Yeon said.
Søren sighed. "Actually, Zhi Li's reaction this time has disappointed me. I thought he would be a man of great talent and bold vision."
This time, when Ashita Liren asked Zhi Li for help, if he had acted decisively and sent troops to help, Søren would not have had anything to do with it.
Then there was nothing for Soran to do at all. Shi Liren would never stand on Si Yan's side.
However, Zhi Li judged others by himself and felt that Søren and Ashita Liren must have had an affair.
More importantly, Rouran City was still a vassal of the Raging Wave Kingdom. When the Yelan Principality invaded, the national army should not shirk its responsibilities and defend its territory.
In the end, because of internal strife, Zhi Li sat by and watched as Rouran Province's thousand-mile territory was lost.
Should this be considered as the first step to resisting foreign aggression? Or was it better to give a friend than a slave?
Jung Yeon said, "If he wasn't such a person, he wouldn't be so powerful."
Others might not understand Jung Yeon's words, but Søren could.
Zhi Li was taking advantage of the situation. First, he was chosen by the Dragon Temple and the Hidden Island and received great support. Then, he received the support and loyalty of the vassals and nobles.
To put it bluntly, he was the spokesperson for the interests of the Dragon Temple, the Hidden Island, the nobles, and the vassals.
Once he became king, the fall of the Raging Wave Kingdom was just around the corner, and the Dragon Temple's control was just around the corner.
Søren suddenly asked, "Jung Yeon, if I wanted to spank you, would you let me?"
Jung Yeon said, "Why? Is it punishment or flirting? "
"Sigh …" Søren sighed.
"Let me. You can spank me if you want now," Jung Yeon said.
"Sigh …" Søren's sigh deepened.
When Søren told Ashita Liren that he wanted to spank her, she beat him half to death. His reaction was unprecedentedly intense.
When he told Jung Yeon that he wanted to spank her, she calmly said that he could spank her now.
These two women were equally beautiful, but Jung Yeon's fairy-like aura was too strong.
Immediately afterward, Søren recalled his bet with Ashita Liren, and his heart immediately raced.
Ashita Liren was not only a fairy, but also a witch. Her femininity was so strong and enchanting.
Her buttocks were plump and plump, as white as snow. If he really spanked them, he would really lose his soul.
Thus, Søren rode on the Liger and flew toward the Rouran Province's Helan Pass with fantasies and longing.
"Ashita Liren, wash your buttocks and wait for me!"
…
The Rouran Province's gate, the battlefield of the decisive battle, Helan Pass!
Ashina Li looked at the battlefield that had been ravaged.
There was blood and corpses everywhere.
Helan Pass originally had 60,000 soldiers, but now there were less than 20,000 left, and almost all of them were injured.
They had been fighting continuously for several days and nights.
These less than 20,000 wounded soldiers were already exhausted.
The next wave of attacks would begin in an hour.
Ashita Liren could even foresee that Prince Lan Tu only needed to send 30,000 soldiers to break through Helan Pass.
However, Prince Lan Tu had prepared 50,000 elites, and they had rested for many days. They were like tigers that were about to be released from their cages.
Helan Pass was destined to be destroyed.
The incomparably beautiful Ashita Liren looked up at the sky and sighed. He looked up at the sky and sighed, "Sauron, the final deadline is here. Helan Pass is about to be breached, and I've washed my butt. But maybe you'll only be able to see my corpse.
