The moment the enemy broke through the gates, he finally got up from the dragon bed in a panic.
"Yu'er, did you have a nightmare?" The emperor beside him reached out an arm to hold his shoulder.
"No, but I don't know why, but I feel that tonight is strange." Yu'er turned his head and looked at the sleepy emperor. His face was covered in shadows. He then asked, "Don't you think it's too quiet?"
The emperor sat up.
"Don't worry, the guards are guarding outside the city. The enemy can't come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried and messy footsteps outside the bedchamber. A eunuch stumbled and ran, and then fell directly into the bedchamber.
"Your ….. Your Majesty, this is bad! The enemy has broken into the city and is now fighting with the guards outside the palace! "The eunuch gasped for breath and his voice was filled with panic.
The emperor's face immediately changed. He put on an outer robe and rushed out of the bed.
"What is the situation? Can we still hold on?" He anxiously asked.
As soon as he said that, a hoarse voice came in. This was followed by many panicked screams and the sound of running away.
"Your Majesty … … Your Majesty … … Our great general has betrayed us! The enemy has already entered the palace! Quickly escort Your Majesty away! Quickly! "Another eunuch with messy clothes and stains all over his body shouted and cried.
"Disgraceful! All disgraceful! "The emperor's face was filled with anger and his body was trembling," Why aren't you coming to escort me away! A bunch of waste! "
More than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs trembled as they surrounded the emperor, preparing to secretly escort him away.
The emperor suddenly stopped and turned around. He wanted to take Yu'er with him. But he found that the dragon bed was in a mess and there was no one there.
"Yu'er!" The emperor roared like a trapped beast at the empty palace.
He, who was called Yu'er, did not have any reluctance. When he heard the news that the enemy had broken into the palace, he had already quietly slipped away in the chaos.
Fuck, he thought. A bad premonition finally appeared in his heart. He did not care about the emperor as he ran back to his private palace. He planned to take his treasure and then escape.
In any case, the enemy's attention is completely on His Majesty. They have no time to pay attention to a small official like me. He thought to himself.
Cries and footsteps blended into one sound. Pearls, gold, and silver were scattered all over the ground. Banners of the enemy countries were hung on the pillars, fluttering in the night wind. In the distance, flames were glowing, illuminating the entire sky above the Imperial Palace. It was over. It seemed like Zhou Country was going to be destroyed.
Before he had time to think about his future, he hurriedly ran back to his own palace. The palace lanterns in the palace were extinguished. The night wind blew open the windows and ruffled his thin clothes. He felt a little cold.
Youyu searched everywhere and even emptied out the large chest that was hidden under the bed. The chest fell into the darkness with a crackling sound. Youyu crazily stuffed the chest into the cloth bag. The sharp gold ornaments cut his fingertips, but he did not stop. He grabbed a handful and stuffed as much as he could.
Finally, the treasures overflowed the opening of the pouch. He used his strength to tighten it, then stood up and carried the pouch on his back before running out of the hall.
He thought of his sister and quickly ran to the Empress' palace. But when he arrived, he found that there was not a single person in the palace. Everyone had already scattered.
He wanted to go to the winding and secluded path, but he found that the path was already guarded by the enemy. Youyu angrily cursed and then went back to the other path.
Fuck, the enemy's speed was faster than he had imagined. Almost all the paths out of the palace were guarded, turning the entire Imperial Palace into a prison.
I don't believe that they can block all the paths! Youyu thought. He might as well escape from the main hall. Perhaps the more open he was, the more the enemy would lower their guard.
He changed the pouch on his shoulder and then walked back to the main hall. As he approached, he found that the main hall was brightly lit and filled with people. Youyu held his breath. He quietly hid behind a pillar and looked at the crowd.
Heavens! His eyes widened as he let out a cry of surprise.
The Emperor and his palace maids and eunuchs had all been caught and tied up in the main hall. The enemy general was wearing black armour and sitting on the Emperor's dragon throne, smiling as he looked at the group of people.
"Where do you think you're going? This large place belongs to us, where do you think you're going? "
The palace maids and eunuchs beside the Emperor were all kneeling on the ground, constantly trembling and crying. The Emperor was standing in the middle of the hall. His hair was hanging down and his expression could not be seen.
The general came down from the dragon throne and took out the sword at his waist. He did not stab and used the sword sheath to hit the Emperor's knee. The Emperor could not take it and knelt on the ground.
"Why aren't you kneeling?"
The normally dignified Emperor was now forced to kneel in front of others. Youyu who was hiding behind a pillar felt sad and angry.
The Emperor raised his head and let out a laugh.
"Dog thief! If zhen can live past tonight, zhen will definitely return it to you! "
His ….. His Majesty's words were not appropriate. Wouldn't it anger him? Youyu did not understand.
Sure enough, the general was enraged. He swung the sword sheath at the Emperor's head and blood spurted out.
"No, tonight is the day of your death and also the last night of Zhou Country's existence. From now on, history books will only record that the Emperor was tyrannical and manic, greedy for pleasure, doing nothing, indulging in men, causing the destruction of the country. Hahaha, "the general said as he laughed.
"Pei! Dog ….. "The Emperor raised his head, but before he could say the word" thief ", his body was pierced.
The palace maids and eunuchs screams shook the sky.
"You can shut up." The general pulled out the sword and wiped the blood off it.
The Emperor's body slowly fell to the ground. The moment he fell, he found Youyu behind the pillar.
Two pairs of frightened eyes looked at each other from a distance.
Does he hate me? Youyu thought. Does his Majesty hate me?
The Emperor fell to the ground. With his last breath, he slowly raised his hand and pointed at Youyu. His eyes were wide open.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the Emperor's action before he died. They all looked at Youyu.
Youyu was exposed.
His mind did not know what to do. He just subconsciously moved his body.
Yu 'er turned and wanted to run. But he felt that it was better to commit treason. Maybe he would be let go. But before he could speak, the soldier closest to him threw a spear at him. It tore through the air and pierced through him. Along with the bag of treasures.
The bag full of pearls and gold and silver scattered. Along with Youyu's falling body, they fell to the ground. In the bright light, he closed his eyes. Blood dyed the treasures on the ground.
He did not have time to think about whether he regretted it or not before he died.
Memories of the past flashed before his eyes. How Young Jade relied on that face of hers to flatter others with a smile on her face. He watched as those high ranking officials and nobles were amused by his words and were forced to drink cup after cup of wine.
After entering the circle of officials, he was not satisfied with being a small official. Not long after, he purposely met the Emperor. As expected, the Emperor was mesmerized by his face. He was endlessly rewarded and his rank rose higher and higher. In the end, his wealth and official position were above tens of thousands of people.
Those who disobeyed him would submit memorials to accuse him. With just a pillow talk, those loyal officials would lose their official position. If anyone dared to go against him, they might not even be able to keep their head.
Because of this, the Emperor specially made a law. If anyone was related to Youyu, they would immediately be removed from their official position.
Most of the atmosphere in the court leaned towards Yu 'er. Compliments, flattery, flattery, gifts, all to please him. They hoped that he would remember the intentions of these small officials.
The more it was like this, the entire court, except for the Emperor, Youyu did not look at anyone else.
As a high ranking official, he had a lot of money. He played everywhere, ate all the delicacies in the capital, watched all the operas in the capital. Whichever actor he liked, he would support that person. He also learned from those famous male pets and casually threw gold balls. When he saw people running behind his carriage, he would laugh.
He was still not satisfied. Not long after, he began to sell official positions. The location was in a teahouse in the capital. The rich merchants all carried large and small bags of banknotes and gold and gathered in the main hall of the teahouse like a swarm of bees.
Youyu sat at the table and took a sip of tea. Whoever wanted it, whoever wanted it, would get five thousand taels of silver. First come, first served. No bargaining.
Those people were all fighting like dogs. They wanted to take out all their wealth in exchange for an official position.
He watched as these people surrounded him and fought for the position in his hands. They even fought over it. He drank another pot of tea and enjoyed the show.
However, he didn't think about those dark matters, about the bloodshed and mutilation. He only thought about the dream that his sister told him in the Empress of Darkness' palace.
That dream where he was covered in blood and lying in gold and silver. It was actually his end.
The Zhou Nation was declining day by day under his eyes. However, at that time, he was enjoying his wealth and winning people's hearts. He had no time to care about the danger.
He arrogantly thought that his looks and wealth would last forever. Until he died. Only then did he feel that everything he had built for the first half of his life collapsed with this stab.
The scroll of the past closed in front of his eyes. He thought that the review before death had ended and that he would rest forever.
Sigh, before he died, he sighed. It was better to be a good person in the next life, he thought.
However, a dazzling white light greeted him. It was so piercing that he could not rest.
F * ck, it was so bright. Was he going to die? Youyu cursed.
However, the white light did not stop. Instead, it got closer and closer. He could not help but open his eyes.
"What's going on? Can't you rest after death?"
As far as the eye could see, it was pure white. When he stretched out his fingers to touch it, there was nothing.
Hmm? Was this the world after death? He looked around.
Gradually, ink-like mist floated over. In the endless white, it gathered and formed a line of words.
"Rule of Rebirth: Can't rely on your face to obtain love and money.
Have to rely on your own hands to earn money. "
There was a line of even smaller words below.
"Difficulty: Has its own gravity."
"Advantage: A Guiyu Pavilion."
When he finished reading this line of words, the haze dispersed. The boundless whiteness receded from his feet and changed into boundless darkness. Drowsiness assaulted him. He closed his eyes and fell straight down. However, he knew in his heart that when he woke up again, the world would change.
The general approached Yu 'er, who was lying on the shining gold and silver pearl. His blood had coagulated and his body was cold and stiff.
