Chapter 446 Returning to Dayong
Di Beizun slightly raised his gaze and saw that her expression was somewhat desolate. A faint light flickered in his eyes. He followed her gaze downwards and looked at the empty street. As if he understood something, he nodded.
"I have already ordered them to clean up and then lifted the street ban."
"You saw what was happening over at the stage when you came over just now?"
Sikong Jin glanced at him and asked calmly.
"A bunch of rioting mobs, can't I even control them?"
A chill ran through Di Beizun's dark eyes as he spoke coldly.
Sikong Jin raised an eyebrow, couldn't help but touch her nose, and sighed softly, "Your Majesty, now that the Southern Continent has been conquered, and with your vast Eastern Continent, you have more than half of the entire Fengyun World under your control. You should rein in your bloodlust and focus your mind on how to govern the country."
"Aren't the Great Yong and the Great Liao still on good terms?"
Emperor Beizun disagreed, saying, "Governing the country can be left to those civil officials. I don't have the mind to worry about these things right now. After we get married and seize the throne, we'll have plenty of time to discuss these issues."
Emperor Beizun was clearly not in a hurry at all, and everything seemed to be under control.
Sikong Jin couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. This guy has been bringing up marriage all the time lately. How eager is he to become a groom?
……
After finishing her breakfast, Sikong Jin went straight upstairs and asked for a superior room.
Now Lord Sikong can finally take a nice bath and get some sleep, while Di Beizun went to the Prince Wei's residence.
Presumably, this was the plan that was made in the past to arrange what would happen later.
The Tiansheng Dynasty had just been destroyed, and the original Tiansheng people might not have truly submitted to the Great Zhou, so there were a lot of things to deal with afterward.
"Your Majesty, are you going to Dayong?"
Inside the study of the Prince Wei's residence, Su Yu and Feng Yang were immediately shocked upon hearing the news.
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable! The Great Yong is currently in turmoil and facing numerous crises. If the Minister of Works were to return like this, the Emperor of Great Yong would surely have laid a trap for them! I believe that we should wait for our army to make some adjustments, then send a large army directly from Guanzhong to approach the Great Yong's Yanmen Pass. When the time is right, we should immediately launch a full-scale attack! Now that Tiansheng has been captured, the two major southeastern regions no longer pose any obstacles to us. We can launch an attack on Great Yong at any time without any scruples!"
Su Yu analyzed.
As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, Feng Yang immediately nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty! Lord Su's analysis is reasonable. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous for Lord Sikong to go back like this. It's not even certain whether he can return to the capital of Dayong! Just like Xing Qitian, he was gone just like that. Emperor Xing Qiyu of Dayong is so ruthless that it's appalling! Although Xing Qitian said he died at the hands of those rebels, think about it, with Xing Qitian's strength, he couldn't possibly have been so easily killed by a group of rebels!"
Feng Yang had also had contact with Xing Qitian and knew him to some extent.
“We cannot send troops rashly. Ajin’s mother is still in Xingqi Yu’s hands. We must rescue her first. I have already dispatched a group of experts from Fengyun Tower to the capital of Dayong. Changfeng is also keeping a close eye on things there. The reason Ajin and I are returning to the capital of Dayong this time is to rescue her.”
As Emperor Beizun spoke, a hint of coldness flickered in his usually calm eyes. "Lord Su, I'll leave Tian Sheng to you and the other officials for now. General Feng, once you've finished handing over the matters here, have General Meng take charge of the area. Then, immediately return to Guanzhong in my Great Zhou and transfer the Second Legion of my Great Zhou to the border of Dayong, awaiting my orders."
These are extraordinary times, and Emperor Beizun can only prepare for war in advance.
If a war were to break out, the tens of thousands of soldiers left behind by Sikong Jin at Hangu Pass would likely be insufficient to withstand the attack of the Emperor of Dayong. After all, a force of hundreds of thousands of elite troops is no joke.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, should we summon the guards to escort you and Lord Sikong all the way?"
Feng Yang still spoke with some unease.
Now that the war has just ended, things are naturally not peaceful outside. Moreover, it is uncertain whether they can escape the eyes and ears of the Emperor of Dayong once they enter the territory of Dayong.
"No need. I'll just go with Ajin. Too many people will only attract attention."
Emperor Beizun said calmly, a disdainful glint flashing across his breathtakingly beautiful face, "I have never encountered anyone who could intercept me. No matter what kind of person Xing Qiyu is, can he train a group of assassins like the Heavenly Saint Emperor?"
The battle of last night's siege was still replaying in his mind. Those suicide soldiers did put some pressure on Emperor Beizun. Fortunately, Sikong Jin intercepted the attacks in time, otherwise he would have had a hard time dealing with them.
"Let's decide on this. Fengyunlou will handle things over there."
After saying this, Emperor Beizun walked outside.
"His Majesty!"
Su Yu wanted to say something more, but in the end, he didn't chase after them.
Su Yue...
These past years have truly been tough for her, and naturally she hopes that His Majesty can rescue the person this time.
……
The sky gradually darkened, and soon the entire southern region was plunged into a silent darkness.
The night sky was somewhat gloomy, unlike the clear sky of yesterday, with faint starlight occasionally visible through the undulating clouds.
The city, which had been bustling all night, finally quieted down a little.
It was past midnight, the third watch of the night, at the north gate of the Tiansheng Imperial City, shrouded in a dim glow of lights.
Just before the city gates were about to close, a crisp, cold sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night.
By the faint light emanating from the city tower, one could see two riders rushing out of the city gate, shrouded in the night, followed by two more riders.
The two men ahead were both dressed in large black cloaks, shrouded in the silent night, almost blending into the vast darkness. They galloped past, and only when they reached the moat, where the lush foliage hung down, did they rein in their horses.
The two riders behind quickly caught up as well.
"Big brother!"
Sikong Mo quickly pulled on the reins behind him, dismounted, and walked towards Sikong Jin.
Sikong Jin dismounted nimbly, turned around to look at Sikong Mo who was coming to greet her, a warm smile appeared on her beautiful face, and her starry eyes were filled with a faint warm light. "Alright, Xiao Mo, General Feng, you can go back now. It's late at night and quiet. Xiao Mo, you still have to travel back to Luoyang tomorrow."
