As for Xiao Hua, he never imagined that Mount Xuanxia would undergo such a drastic change after he wandered around the Gu Miasma Insect's body and accidentally entered the poison formation set up by the human face. Even the human face would never have guessed that Tu Shanhong would be killed because of his dubious words!
"F * ck." Xiao Hua wanted to escape, but he didn't expect to see another green mountain peak appear. Moreover, the mountain peak had a strong aura of Qingqiu Mountain. He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Could this be the lost Qingqiu Mountain of the Immortal World?"
Unfortunately, before he could think any further, an enormous green mountain had already appeared before his eyes. However, this green color was merely the outline of the mountain, and within the outline, there were extremely many bubble-like halos of varying sizes that flickered. Xiao Hua swept his gaze over them, and he was stunned. There were exactly 129,600 bubble-like halos of light!
Xiao Huagang was about to activate his immortal power when he suddenly realized that his body was empty. Forget immortal power, even space, immortal marks, and everything else had disappeared!
Xiao Hua was shocked. He never imagined that Qingqiu Mountain would be so powerful that it actually blocked his space.
"Ahem." That was when a rather old voice rang out. "He's finally up to something new. Not bad, I'd like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."
"Who are you?" Xiao Hua anxiously shouted towards the source of the voice.
"Who am I?" The voice laughed. "Would you still be alive if you knew who I was? Go … "
As the voice growled, Xiao Hua felt his body being grabbed by a large hand and shot into a flickering green halo like a bullet.
The green halo was very strange. It was irregular at first, but when Xiao Hua landed in front of it, it took the shape of a mountain. When Xiao Hua's body landed, the halo expanded infinitely and became a vast land.
As for Xiao Hua, he merely blinked his eyes and everything around him changed. To his astonishment, he discovered that he was wearing a dragon robe and was sitting upright in a majestic hall.
Beneath the hall, an old man in official robes knelt before the dragon table with a jade tablet in hand. "Your Majesty," he said respectfully, "this is the calamity of Ze Xi. Your Majesty, please make a decision!"
"I'll make a decision my ass!"
Xiao Hua did not know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly looked around and found himself in a typical imperial palace, but when Xiao Hua released Wannian, he realized that his own Wannian was gone as well.
"Damn it!"
Xiao Hua suddenly had a bad feeling. He hurriedly urged his immortal power, and could not help cursing quietly. What immortal power?!
Xiao Hua was just a normal person!
"Is this an illusion?"
Xiao Hua hurriedly looked at his body. However, other than the dragon robe, even Xiao Hua's Nine Palace Immortal eyes could not see any flaws anywhere else!
"Could it be that Xiao has been sealed? Then … that old voice just now, is it above the Grand Heavenly Immortal realm? "
Xiao Hua was shocked. After all, the human face was too powerful. Even Xiao Huayu's Nine Palaces Immortal realm could not resist it. How could the person trapped by the human face be so powerful??
"Senior, senior?"
Xiao Hua raised his head and shouted, "This one is also an enemy of that human face. We can discuss how to work together to fight the enemy. This one can help senior escape."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" The kneeling old man was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "What's wrong?"
"Imperial physician, imperial physician …" Another eunuch hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty's brain disease is acting up again. Hurry."
"Scram!" Xiao Hua growled, "What brain disease do I have?"
"Yes, yes." The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty does not have a brain disease. It's this servant who has a brain disease."
But looking at the eunuch's smile, Xiao Hua knew that he did not know about his suffering!
He did not believe his words at all!
Sure enough, several imperial physicians came over. Xiao Hua was respectfully held down and diagnosed. They even … inserted a few needles into Xiao Hua's head!
Xiao Hua was speechless. His physical strength, which he boasted of being unparalleled in close combat, was also gone!
"What should I do?"
Xiao Hua rubbed his temples and sat behind the dragon table. Looking at the pile of memorials on the table, he was a little dazed.
"Your Majesty."
A charming voice rang out. Xiao Hua turned his head to look and jumped up from the ground in shock. It was actually Liu Yanyu!
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Liu Yanyu looked at Xiao Hua and said with heartache, "This concubine heard that Your Majesty's brain disease acted up again during the afternoon court meeting. Don't … don't you recognize me again?"
"I recognize you, I recognize you …" Xiao Hua nodded foolishly.
"In that case," Liu Yanyu walked over and snuggled up to Xiao Hua and said, "let this concubine massage Your Majesty's temples!"
Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat. When her snow-white soft hands gently rubbed Xiao Hua's temples, Xiao Hua's soul almost flew out of his body.
Just as Xiao Hua's heart was racing, Liu Yanyu whispered in Xiao Hua's ear, "Your Majesty, stay the night at De Xin Palace. You haven't favored this concubine for a long time!"
"Okay!" Xiao Hua almost blurted it out, but … just as he was about to say it, he suddenly realized something. If this woman was someone else, a stranger that Xiao Hua didn't know, Xiao Hua naturally wouldn't be able to tell if it was real or fake. But since this woman was Liu Yanyu, then everything in front of him was most likely an illusion.
Unfortunately, facing the lively Liu Yanyu, although Xiao Hua's blood was boiling, how could he dare to have any other thoughts?
If it was Hongxia Fairy, not to mention being favored, even being favored … Xiao Hua would be happy!
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Hua picked up the memorial on the dragon table next to him and whispered, "My dear concubine, look at the famine in Ze Xi …"
An indescribable sadness appeared on Liu Yanyu's face, making Xiao Hua's heart race again. He almost raised his hand to hold Liu Yanyu's hand. In the end, he still said, "I think it's better to provide relief as soon as possible!"
"Your Majesty, if you want to provide relief, you have to look at the grain reserves in the national treasury," Liu Yanyu bit her lip and whispered, "In the past seven years, there have been continuous disasters in the country. The national treasury is empty. The power of the imperial family alone is not enough to provide relief."
Xiao Hua was anxious when he heard this, "Then what should we do? The prime minister said clearly in the court that the famine is serious. If the grain is delayed by a day, millions of people will starve to death. "
Liu Yanyu said without hesitation, "Send the troops!"
"Send the troops?" Xiao Hua was shocked, "What does it have to do with disaster relief?"
"The Country of Xi has had a good harvest for seven years in a row," Liu Yanyu lowered her head and whispered, "Their national treasury is full. If they take over the Country of Xi, the famine in our Country of Lian will be easily solved."
"The Country of Xi?" Xiao Hua glanced at Liu Yanyu and said meaningfully, "Isn't that my dear concubine's hometown?"
"Yes," Liu Yanyu nodded slightly, "But this concubine is now Your Majesty's concubine!"
"I remember that the Country of Xi just sent three hundred thousand catties of grain, right?" Xiao Hua asked again.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Liu Yanyu nodded again, "This concubine wrote a letter to Imperial Father …"
"Then how do you want me to do it?"
Liu Yanyu looked at Xiao Hua and said word by word, "Your Majesty should put the country first and yourself first. Everything outside the Country of Lian is fleeting."
"Even if we use troops," Xiao Hua pondered for a moment, as if he was recalling something, and then he replied, "The casualties will be more than a million, and we may not be able to take down the Country of Xi."
"Once the war starts, the attention of the people will be drawn to the war. The pressure on Your Majesty will be reduced, and the foundation of the Imperial Family will be stable," Liu Yanyu explained, "The war will also reduce the population and the consumption of grain!"
"Can I … can I think about it?"
Xiao Hua felt a headache coming on again.
"There isn't much time left for Your Majesty," Liu Yanyu stood up and bowed, "If Your Majesty doesn't make a decision in three days, the officials may force you to abdicate, and the Imperial Family will collapse. At that time, it will be impossible for Your Majesty to salvage the situation!"
Liu Yanyu left with a spring of resentment, and Xiao Hua, the Emperor, stood in his bedchamber and looked at the moonlight, unable to sleep for a long time.
"What kind of illusion is this?"
Xiao Huayu was puzzled and thought, "This illusion is clearly different from what Xiao saw before. It's too real. If Sister Rou 'er didn't appear, I would have thought that this was real! But what's the use of this illusion? How can I get out of this illusion? "
It was a quiet night. Xiao Hua couldn't think of a way to get out of the illusion, but the memorials about the country's crisis and pleas for orders drowned Xiao Hua when the sun rose.
Xiao Hua didn't know much about state affairs, but he was quite knowledgeable about military affairs. He spent a day reading the memorials and understood the situation in the Country of Xi.
The situation in the Country of Xi was much more serious than what Liu Yanyu had said. The Imperial Family had lost trust in the Country of Xi. It seemed that other than sending troops to war, restoring the Imperial Family's dignity, and obtaining enough grain for disaster relief, Xiao Hua had no other way out.
For Xiao Hua, commanding the war generals to attack the Country of Xi should have a sixty percent chance of success!
However, Xiao Hua also understood that there was no winner in this war. Tens of millions of soldiers from the Country of Xi and the Country of Xi had died in the formation.
"It's just an illusion," Xiao Hua thought to himself as he took the imperial seal and faced the imperial edict that had been drafted. "These lives are just illusions, not real lives. Why should I take them seriously?"
However, the moment Xiao Hua put down the seal, he hesitated again. "Although it's an illusion, they're still living beings! If my judgment is wrong, and they're originally living beings in a Small Thousand World, won't my decision destroy tens of millions of lives? "
Xiao Hua put down the imperial seal and looked at Liu Yanyu, who was looking at him not far away. He thought again, "Perhaps this illusion is a test of my ability. As long as I lead the Country of Xi through this difficulty and gain the support of the people, I can get out of the illusion?"
However, when he raised the imperial seal, Xiao Hua couldn't help but imagine the scene of tens of millions of soldiers dying in a river of blood.
Xiao Hua finally couldn't bear it. In the end, before dawn, he finally issued an imperial edict. However, the imperial edict was to use all of the national treasury's resources to relieve the disaster and save people!
Liu Yanyu had made it clear that the disaster in Ze Xi had passed, but the imperial court was unstable. The political enemies, led by Prince Yan, had tangled with the officials and forced Xiao Hua to abdicate!
Xiao Hua had thought that Prince Yan would be an immortal he was familiar with, but who would have thought that among the people Xiao Hua met, only Liu Yanyu was familiar with?
It seemed that only Liu Yanyu had followed Xiao Hua's carriage out of the palace. The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with red clouds. The carriage stepped on the afterglow. Liu Yanyu snuggled up to Xiao Hua and whispered, "Your Majesty is not a qualified emperor!"
Looking at Liu Yanyu, who was smiling faintly, Xiao Hua became restless again. He replied, "I hope I'm a qualified husband."
"You're not either." At this time, the mysterious voice in the sky suddenly sounded. "You're just a person who lives up to his conscience!"
