Chapter 86
Chapter 86
Sang Yuanyuan held the Heaven Evolution Mirror fragment in her hand, and a scene slowly appeared in front of her eyes.
She would never have thought that the scene between Kang Yanji and Huangfu Jun would be like this.
She saw the end of these two people.
Their cultivation was crippled, their limbs were broken, and they were placed in a large iron cage and transported to the White Jade Bridge.
"Of all the things we shouldn't have done, we shouldn't have tried to kill the Emperor." An old eunuch with a round face said with a smile, "At this point, Lady Meng won't be soft-hearted anymore!
The two of you, please leave in a clean manner!
The water of this Clear Jade Pool will definitely wash away the sins on your body. In your next life, remember to be honest and reincarnate, and live a peaceful life! "
The Emperor?
Lady Meng?
He was talking about Han Shaoling and Meng Wuyou!
Kang Yanji in the iron cage was haggard, but her back was still ramrod straight. She stared fiercely at the old eunuch, and said in a hoarse voice, "Jiang Yi, I treated you well, and I always trusted you.
But I didn't expect that you would collude with Han Shaoling and betray me! "
Hearing Kang Yanji's words, Sang Yuanyuan immediately remembered. She recognized this old eunuch with a round face. He was the one she saw when she entered the capital for peace. He was the one who followed Kang Yanji closely.
To be given the name Jiang Yi, it was enough to show their trust.
This person actually betrayed Kang Yanji and sided with Han Shaoling?
The old eunuch was still smiling amiably. He turned around and cupped his hands towards the distance, then turned back and said, "The Emperor is the true Son of Heaven. If you could have judged the situation earlier and abdicated, it would have been a good story.
Unfortunately, the two of you insisted on going against the heavens!
Alas, since ancient times, those who insisted on going against the heavens, which one of them had a good ending? "
"Pei!" Huangfu Jun coldly spat out a tooth, "To hell with the heavens!"
He leaned against the iron cage and sat crookedly. From his appearance, it was obvious that he had been tortured.
The old eunuch shook his head regretfully. "Why do the two of you have to do this?
If you are willing to lower your head and plead for mercy, the Emperor will definitely not kill you all. What a pity … "
Unable to bear it, he turned around and waved his hand.
Immediately, two rows of young eunuchs with stooped backs ran out, lifted up the iron cage, and threw it down the white jade bridge.
"Bang!"
The iron cage fell into the water, creating a muffled sound.
Strings of bubbles floated up, and gradually, only two small strings floated up occasionally.
The old eunuch stood quietly by the side of the bridge, looking at the reflection of the moon in the pond. After a long time, he tilted his head.
A few eunuchs jumped into the water and dragged the two drenched corpses to the shore.
Kang Yanji, the empress of a generation, and Huangfu Jun, the peerless hero of a generation, died silently in this small pond.
The old eunuch squatted down and pressed one of the corpses with each hand. Soon, the two corpses that had died with their eyes open were burned into black ash.
"The Emperor has already been on the throne for thirteen years, his foundation is stable, why not give up?" The old eunuch sighed. "Power blinds the eyes, it takes one's life …"
The scene slowly disappeared in front of Sang Yuanyuan's eyes.
When she was watching this scene, You Wuming did not interfere, only sitting crookedly cross-legged on the side, his hand supporting his cheek, swaying as he looked at her.
Sang Yuanyuan opened her eyes.
"Thirteen years on the throne …" Her gaze blankly penetrated You Wuming, muttering to herself, "The Great Art of Heaven's Divination, calculating the fate of the world, from this moment on, there are only ten years left …"
The old eunuch said that Han Shaoling had already been on the throne for thirteen years.
Thirteen years after the throne, history was still there.
In other words, after Han Shaoling ascended the throne, he really led the eighteen prefectures of Cloud Realm through that ten year calamity!
"You Wuming …" Sang Yuanyuan slowly came back to her senses, her gaze faintly looking at the man who looked very frivolous. "The two of us seem to have gotten into big trouble!"
You Wuming laughed loudly, leaning most of his body over, and pulled her into his embrace.
"I roughly understand," Sang Yuanyuan said. "In this world, there was originally a great calamity that could not be passed.
Later, the 'Dao of Heaven' calculated with its fingers, calculated that if the soul of the Mary Sue from that other world, Meng Wuyou, was brought over, using absolute fate to assist Han Shaoling, these two people would be able to lead Cloud Realm through this calamity. "
You Wuming raised his eyebrows. "What is a Mary Sue?"
Sang Yuanyuan: "… It's roughly 'every man loves me, every woman envies me' type of woman."
You Wuming laughed sullenly.
After a while, he laughed enough, saying, "Little Sang Guo, you're talking about the top prostitute?"
Sang Yuanyuan: "…"
After pondering for a moment, she actually felt that she was completely unable to refute.
She had seen many outstanding young men and women, they all had a lot of self-respect and self-respect, and would not be like headless flies, insisting on fighting over a certain person of the opposite sex, especially the kind that had an owner.
For example, Yun Xuzhou, when You Wuming was fiercely handsome in the ice cave, she was not jealous of Sang Yuanyuan, nor did she have any thoughts about You Wuming, at most she would ask if he had any brothers.
Another example was Sang Yuanyuan, it was not that she did not come into contact with other men, but whether it was You Wuming's subordinates, or the princes and heirs of the other prefectures, they were all respectful and courteous to her, and would not mindlessly chase after her.
But in the brothels, there would often be a scene of many men fighting over a woman, and many women being jealous of one person.
It seemed like there was nothing wrong with it.
"Little Sang Guo," You Wuming suddenly whispered into her ear, "do you still remember the first night we met, that woman, using the fire as an excuse, ran to Han Shaoling's bed?"
Sang Yuanyuan was a bit unsure whether this guy would be jealous if she said that she remembered.
"Oh, it seems like that happened." She said warily.
You Wuming smiled wickedly, "It's all for sale, it's just that they want more. They don't accept cash, they really think that they are nobler than prostitutes."
Sang Yuanyuan: "…" It seemed like she was completely unable to refute that.
He leaned back leisurely, "People whose strength can't support their ambition look like that."
He narrowed his eyes, and there was no disgust between his beautiful brows, only indifference.
She leaned into his embrace, smiled, and asked, "Then what about me?
When you first saw me, what did I look like? "
He slowly lowered his head, looked at her for a while, and a trace of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. His voice was low, and with a slight smile, he said, "Just like how you looked at me."
Sang Yuanyuan raised her face to look at him, "what do you mean?"
"Accident," he stroked her hair, "is very different from what I imagined.
Then I was a bit curious, and wanted to get closer to take a look. "
Sang Yuanyuan pouted proudly, "… You are indeed completely different from what I imagined, but I'm not curious at all, and I don't want to get closer."
Who would have thought that the villain, the Great Demon King, looked like a playboy?
"Little Sang Guo, you don't mean what you say." He stared at her with a wicked smile, and the topic changed a thousand miles, "do you want it now?"
Sang Yuanyuan: "???"
Look at this dog of a man's tricks!
If she said 'no', he would definitely say 'you don't mean what you say'.
If she said 'yes', he would say 'as you wish'.
You Wuming was victorious, narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his lips were full of mischief.
"Hm?
Do you want it? "He elegantly drew in the net.
Sang Yuanyuan had never been a person who would sit still and wait for death.
She decisively pushed him down.
It was a complete captivation.
… …
Two hours later, Sang Yuanyuan was paralyzed in You Wuming's arms, and said in a weak voice, "Did we stray from the topic?"
You Wuming said in all seriousness, "No, this is serious business."
She rubbed against him a few times to raise her spirits, and said, "Let's go back to what happened just now.
The old eunuch said that Han Shaoling has been on the throne for thirteen years, which means that he has really averted the catastrophe ten years later.
In the plot I read, Han Shaoling did not defeat Kang Yanji and Huangfu Jun, and it only ended when he married Meng Wuyou.
I didn't expect that the story would end, but the characters in the book were still living their lives. "
"So who was the person who wrote the book for you to read?" You Wuming asked casually.
Sang Yuanyuan: "… … I didn't pay attention to the author's name.
You don't know how busy I was at that time, busier than you! "
— On the importance of collecting authors.
"Okay, okay, okay." You Wuming shook his head perfunctorily, looking extremely sexy. "Madam has a lot of work to do every day, unlike me who is idle."
"But the great hero who saved the world has already been sent underground by us, what should we do?" Sang Yuanyuan sighed.
You Wuming's face was full of indifference, and he narrowed his eyes, saying, "Little Sang Guo, aren't you curious what the original catastrophe was like?
The whole world was occupied by the underworld demons, and the human race's civilization was no more, and it completely turned into a bloody purgatory? "
Sang Yuanyuan tilted her head and looked at him in confusion — what was the problem?
You Wuming said, "Think about those palaces, those fortresses, and those armies.
Even if the underworld demons destroyed the entire Great Wall, those who suffered would only be ordinary people.
The royal family would definitely be safe and sound. "
Sang Yuanyuan slowly nodded.
Back then, she had discovered that every important palace in the royal palace was as sturdy as a fortress, as long as the palace doors were closed, the underworld demons would not be able to break in even in a hundred years.
And those important military fortresses, their defensive power would definitely not lose to the Great Wall of Black Iron!
"Moreover, it's only been ten years."
You Wuming smiled coldly. "Even if the Great Wall is destroyed now, ten years is still far from destruction!"
Not to mention the Great Wall's situation.
Now that the underworld demons had broken into Bai, Feng, and Qi Prefectures, it was far from a disaster of the Death Realm. At most, the underworld demons in the prefectures would be completely wiped out in a month or so.
Humans would always explode with endless potential, they would definitely not sit still and wait for death.
Sang Yuanyuan pondered for a moment, "Could it be that you suspect that the so-called catastrophe is a lie from the Heavenly Temple?"
"It's not a lie." You Wuming said, "For so many years, there has been no news from the outside world."
He did not finish his sentence, but Sang Yuanyuan could already understand.
There had to be a motive for telling such a big lie.
But the Heavenly Temple had only been doing things behind the scenes for so many years, even Han Shaoling, who had benefited the most from this, did not know anything about this — this did not seem like a lie to achieve anything.
Sang Yuanyuan silently thought about it, "Twenty years ago, the Heavenly Temple used the Great Heaven-derivation Technique and saw that the world would be completely taken over by the underworld demons in thirty years.
Later, they used the 'Reversal of Heaven and Earth' technique and threw me into the Other World.
Then, the mirror 'predicted' that humans would survive the crisis … "
Looking at it this way, she really did seem like a female demon who would destroy the world.
If one only looked at the results, it was originally a situation of destruction, but once she was gone, Meng Wuyou would be able to save the world by accompanying Han Shaoling.
Now, she had returned and even colluded with You Wuming to cripple Han Shaoling …
Fate seemed to have turned a circle and returned to its original point.
Sang Yuanyuan instantly teared up, "I didn't have a choice in the past, but now I want to be a good person."
"It's time to catch a few people and interrogate them …" You Wuming gently gritted his teeth and hugged her tighter.
Sang Yuanyuan nodded gently.
However, it was not an easy task to catch the head of the Heavenly Temple.
The Heavenly Temple was an organization that kept a low profile. It was only responsible for some divination and blessing matters. No one cared about the names of the head and vice head of the Heavenly Temple.
Such an unimportant organization was built in the City of Kings, but no one knew its structure and specific location.
She leaned on his strong chest and said softly, "You Wuming, did you see it too?"
After a while, his chest moved slightly, "Yes."
She did not need to say anything, and he did not need to ask. They both knew what they were talking about.
"What do you think?" Sang Yuanyuan gently rubbed against him.
He slowly exhaled a long breath, "Kang Yanji and Huangfu Jun can only be killed by me."
She hesitated for a moment, "Have you thought of a possibility?
Your father is the same as you. Both of you are intelligent people. How could you possibly like such an ambitious woman?
Could it be … "
You Wuming said without hesitation, "She's Huangfu Jun."
Sang Yuanyuan, "…"
He nearly choked to death on the spot.
"Are all men so shallow!" Sang Yuanyuan complained angrily.
You Wuming raised his eyebrows and pinched her hard twice with his big hand, "Oh."
She stared at him for a moment and did not see any flaws.
Her intuition told her that You Wuming was deliberately changing the topic.
He did not want to think too deeply about this matter.
Kang Yanji had caused him too much pain and hatred. He could not give himself any reason not to kill her, even if it was just a possibility.
He had to kill her.
He could only kill her.
Even if something similar to Sang Yuanyuan had really happened to Kang Yanji.
"No matter what decision you make, I'll support you." She looked up at him with a smile.
You Wuming lazily touched the broken mirror. He held it up with two fingers and squinted at the rays of morning light that seeped in through the window.
"There is no Little Sang Guo in this world," he said, "Without Little Sang Guo, I will stake everything on one throw and fight Kang Yanji in Tiandu."
"Do you know how to do it?" She leaned on his body and asked softly.
"Yes."
You Wuming's lips curved into a faint smile, "At this time, my strength is at its peak. If it drags on, it will be disadvantageous to me."
She did not know what to say. Her face was smiling, but her heart was sour.
"Tsk," You Wuming pressed her head heavily against his body, "I didn't expect Huangfu Jun to be so shameless. Does he have any shame?
Sneak attacking me, heh. "
Sang Yuanyuan thought, 'Even if he didn't sneak attack, you can't beat the two of them.'
Of course, today was different from the past. That time on the plains of Dongzhou, he had broken out of his cocoon and become a butterfly for her. If it was a one-on-one fight, he might not necessarily be unable to beat Kang Yanji and Huangfu Jun together.
Now, he had obtained the immortal fire and the so-called 'divine power'. Killing the two of them was a piece of cake.
She raised her small face, "With Husband's strength, killing the two of them is as easy as taking something out of your pocket!"
"Of course." You Wuming narrowed his eyes.
"Oh right!"
Sang Yuanyuan remembered something, "Brother sent a message saying that Yun Xuzhou directly used explosive fire to blow up the glacier next to Ice Mist Valley. Now the valley floor has been completely covered, and there won't be any traces left."
You Wuming was slowly stroking her hair. Hearing this, he paused.
"Little Sang Guo, it seems that the situation has changed."
"Hmm?"
You Wuming's expression was indifferent, "If Yun Xuzhou only destroyed the traces, and Jin Lanlan can't find any clues, Huangfu Jun will give up on this line. After pacifying Qinzhou, he will personally rush to Tiandu to confront Kang Yanji.
But with such a big commotion, Huangfu Jun will definitely go to Ice Mist Valley to investigate. "
"Then …"
You Wuming laughed softly, "Then let's settle this grudge there."
He quickly tapped his finger on his knee, "Sang Bujin was involved in killing Huangfu Du. This time, we'll bring him along!"
Sang Yuanyuan, "…"
Listening to his tone, it was as if he was going to treat him to a meal.
Before the two of them got out of bed, news from all over the place came in.
The 5,000 Demon Suppressing Army sent by Tiandu was ambushed in Jiangzhou. They were completely annihilated, and no one was spared!
Kang Yanji didn't mention anything about Dongzhou. She only sent Wind Cavalry to the crime scene to collect evidence. At the same time, she ordered all the major forces stationed around Jiangzhou to provide alibis to prove their innocence.
If it was a normal day, no matter how bad the case was, Tiandu would only put on a businesslike face. The usual practice was to not suspect anyone, and anyone who was slightly suspicious would naturally present alibis to prove their innocence.
This time, Kang Yanji couldn't keep calm. She must have been shocked and angry, which was why she was so flustered.
You Wuming didn't need to make a sound.
Everybody knew that the army of Youzhou and the army of Sang Province had held a bonfire banquet under the Great Wall. Everybody knew that King Youzhou and Princess Sang had spent the whole night burning red candles in the simple bridal chamber. It was such a sweet moment that everybody envied them.
He was definitely not present!
When the sun was high up in the sky, You Wuming led a shy Sang Yuanyuan on a cloud beast and led the army to bid farewell to his father-in-law, King Sang Prefecture.
He was going to head inland to help Sang Bujin eliminate the demon threat in his territory.
After they set off, Sang Yuanyuan found that You Wuming's face was very unsightly.
"Did something happen?" She was a little nervous.
You Wuming said in a low voice, "Nothing happened."
"Tell me!"
"Nothing happened."
"You Wuming …" She dragged her tone and pursed her lips. Her small hands grabbed his lapel and shook it left and right.
You Wuming immediately surrendered. "Father-in-law asked for a thousand sets of profound armor. He said it was a reward for helping me hide the truth."
Sang Yuanyuan was speechless.
She said, "Even if you didn't agree, father couldn't really betray you!"
You Wuming became even more depressed. "It's the first day of our marriage. How could I dare to offend my father-in-law?"
Sang Yuanyuan pretended to be angry at the same enemy as him, but in her heart, she was secretly happy. The great villain You Wuming, there was one more person who was' afraid '.
She decisively changed the topic. "Did the destruction of the army last night hurt Kang Yanji?"
You Wuming's face sank, and he slowly shook his head. "That was only one of the imperial guards.
In the Tiandu Army, the strongest is the imperial guard with 20,000 people. Next are the four barracks with 50,000 people each.
Next are the imperial guards like yesterday. There are about 500,000 of them. "
"How many soldiers do we have in Youzhou?"
"A million." You Wuming's fingers gently buckled on the reins. "Including logistics, temporary conscription, and prisoners of war."
Sang Yuanyuan asked, "What about the main fighting force?"
"Less than 300,000."
Sang Yuanyuan gently nodded.
Kang Yanji's army was fully equipped with profound armor.
No matter how powerful Youzhou's soldiers were, they couldn't make up for the gap in equipment and numbers.
If they went to war with Kang Yanji, they would be digging their own grave.
She said, "Sang Prefecture's strength is slightly weaker. Even if we join forces, we still can't beat Kang Yanji. What's more, once we make a move against Tiandu, any prefecture will have an excuse to attack us."
"Let them fight each other." You Wuming said.
Vaguely, Sang Yuanyuan felt that she seemed to have forgotten something, something that she wanted to ask You Wuming about.
What was it?
Thinking back and forth, she felt that there was too much information stuffed into her mind today. She couldn't sort it all out in a short time.
Forget it. Things that can be forgotten are not important.
… …
You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan led six thousand heavy cavalrymen into the White Prefecture. They took the northern route and slaughtered the Nether Demons like a hot knife through butter, leaving not a single one alive.
In one day and one night, they attacked Bai Prefecture's capital.
Sang Bujin led the army from the south to surround them. The two sides met in front of Bai Prefecture's capital.
After not seeing him for several days, Sang Bujin had become much more tanned. His originally feminine face was covered by a layer of black, but it added a heroic air to it.
"Yun Xuzhou sent news that Huangfu Jun has arrived in the north of Yun Prefecture. It looks like they're heading for Icemist Valley.
Eight hundred people accompanied them and bought ice digging equipment from Yun Prefecture. It seems like they intend to break open the mountain. "Sang Bujin leaned forward and said in a low voice.
"Then we can't delay any longer."
Sang Yuanyuan's expression turned cold. "While the Nether Demons are still causing trouble, quickly send elite troops through Feng Prefecture, Zhao Prefecture, and infiltrate the south of Yun Prefecture. We'll try to reach Icemist Valley before Huangfu Jun and ambush him!"
Sang Bujin was stunned. Then, he laughed. "Little sister, just now, your big brother seemed to have returned to a month ago, the day you arranged for Icemist Valley to kill him."
"This time, he's dead for sure!" Sang Yuanyuan said resolutely.
Sang Bujin frowned slightly. "But if we kill Huangfu Jun, won't all our previous arrangements and instigation be for nothing?"
You Wuming laughed softly. Her body leaned forward slightly, and her voice was extremely soft as she said mysteriously, "We have Huangfu Xiong."
Sang Bujin pondered for a moment. He couldn't help but click his tongue. "You Wuming, you really are a demon!
I hope I don't have to be your enemy in this lifetime. "
You Wuming raised her eyebrows and laughed. "What are you afraid of? Sang Guo is my sheath.
As long as she's around, I'll protect your Sang Prefecture. "
Sang Bujin snorted.
"You don't need to protect me!"
Sang Yuanyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She remembered that she had forgotten something. You Wuming said yesterday, "They think that two rainbow-colored bastards can save the world." At that time, she had thought that 'they' were referring to Kang Yanji and Huangfu Jun. However, after she personally saw their fates, she realized that the two of them didn't seem to have anything to do with the so-called 'Heavenly Dao'.
Then, who was the person You Wuming saw?
He had to recognize someone in order to see them in the Heaven Evolution Mirror.
Was it someone he recognized among the higher-ups of the Temple of Heaven?
Who?!
