Yiyun Shangcheng smiled wickedly, "Uncle, do you think this little bit can do anything to me?"
"You'll have to try to find out. The way you brought people up here, I knew you had ill intentions. I'll make sure you die a horrible death!" Yiyun Shenshan glared at him angrily and spoke coldly, "Great Wizard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the great wizard began to summon the black corpses. Bei Gong Jue Shi gestured towards Yi Yun Shang Cheng, and suddenly, the energy gathered in his fist struck the great wizard on the high seat! The great wizard smiled wickedly, and in a flash, he disappeared completely!
Bei Gong Jue Shi was shocked. At this moment, Yi Yun Shang Cheng began to perform a spell. The people in the palace immediately became chaotic and attacked Bei Gong Jue Shi and Yi Yun Shang Cheng. Meanwhile, Yi Yun Divine Mountain had already disappeared without a trace!
Yiyun Shangcheng gestured to Beigong Jueshi, and immediately, Beigong Jueshi began killing.
Hearing the sounds coming from the palace, Murs led his 30,000 troops toward it...
Yiyun Shangcheng glanced at Beigong Jueshi, who seemed like a devil who had walked out of hell, and smiled with satisfaction. He then left everyone in the hall to him and found a way out to find Yiyun Divine Mountain and the Great Wizard.
The setting sun was bleak, its last rays like snow.
Bei Gong Jue Shi lay on the steps, watching the last rays of the setting sun. He felt a little happy and a little romantic. Finally, he had time to slowly appreciate the beautiful things.
"Prince Consort!" Murs entered, seeing the soft sword of Beigong Jueshi, chipped in several places, covered in blood and wounded several times, but seemingly unharmed. Seeing this, Murs felt relieved. "Prince Consort is tired. Men, take him back to the manor! The rest of you, follow me!"
Those who followed felt a chill run down their spines when they saw the hall filled with corpses.
They stepped forward and carefully helped Bei Gong Jue Shi down.
No one knows how the city of Yiyun reclaimed the throne; all who knew have turned to dust. All the people of the Western Regions know is that a new king has been born, but this king is the prince who suddenly disappeared before…
At this moment, Yiyun Shangcheng stood in the enormous palace, looking at the head of Yiyun Shenshan before his desk, laughing arrogantly, a laugh that seemed inhuman! Below him, the High Priest knelt!
"You did a good job, I knew you would definitely stand on my side!" Yiyun walked down from the city wall, looked at the kneeling high wizard, and placed his large hand on the high wizard's shoulder. His hand was like a demonic claw, gripping the high wizard's shoulder tightly, as if countless insects were constantly burrowing into the high wizard's body. The high wizard immediately trembled all over. "Your Majesty!"
"Heh!" Yiyun Shangcheng sneered twice, his hand suddenly tightening. Instantly, the great wizard felt pain all over his body! "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Yiyun Shangcheng looked down at him from her high vantage point, her entire being radiating a chilling aura. Her eyes were a bewitching red. The great wizard immediately retreated upon seeing her. "A demon?"
"Now that you know, you should go down and keep your king company. You murdered your king and deserve the punishment you deserve. I will choose a very good person to succeed you as the Great Wizard!" Yiyun Shangcheng's hand suddenly tightened. Instantly, the Great Wizard shuddered and, before he could even cry out, he fell to the ground and turned into a pool of blood!
Yiyun Shangcheng sneered and flicked his finger. Instantly, the head of Yiyun Shenshan turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared!
Yiyun Shangcheng burst out laughing.
Yi Yun Muchen stayed by Bei Gong Jue Shi's bedside the whole time, watching him and hoping that he would wake up every moment. This matter has been successful, and he has achieved his goal. So, everything should be over now!
At this moment, Yi Yun stepped forward. Yi Yun Muchen turned around, saw it was him, and immediately went up to him, "Brother, look at Jue Shi, why hasn't he woken up yet after so long?"
"It's alright." Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled and stepped forward, the spiritual energy gathered in his hand enveloping Bei Gong Jue Shi's head. Yi Yun Muchen's heart raced, always afraid that Yi Yun Shangcheng would kill Bei Gong Jue Shi, but he dared not step forward. This brother had become so unfamiliar, so unfamiliar... Just now when he stepped in, there was no longer a warm feeling, but a devilish aura like that of hell... He hoped it was just his imagination.
Yi Yun Muchen closed his eyes, then opened them again, and knelt at the feet of Yi Yun Shangcheng. "Brother, please, let us go! Let me go with him, okay? You have now become the King of the Western Regions, and you have fulfilled your wish. Please let us go."
"Let you go?" Yi Yun Shangcheng's gaze softened as he looked at Yi Yun Muchen. "Did I say you weren't allowed to leave? You're my own sister, and he's my good brother-in-law. How could I bear to let you suffer? If you want to leave, then leave!" He looked at the tears in Yi Yun Muchen's eyes and sighed, "But he probably won't wake up for a while. Are you sure you want to just leave like this?"
"Please, brother, ask the doctor to take a look at him!" Yi Yun Muchen looked at Bei Gong Jue Shi on the bed, but his hand was tugging at Yi Yun Shang Cheng's sleeve. "He did this to help you, brother, so please ask the doctor to take a look at him, okay?"
"Okay." A slight smile appeared on his lips.
Yi Yunmu Chen nodded gratefully.
Evian went out of the city, and as she left, she called out to Murs. Murs followed her, saying, "Your Majesty."
"I'm going to the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty. I'm leaving things here to you. I need you to handle the affairs of the court properly. If there's even the slightest mistake, you can expect your entire family to be wiped out." His thin lips curled up sensually. It was time to see that little brat!
Everything I've done is for you, Wu Shang. If you saw that the whole world belonged to you, would you be happy?
☆、159 When Yiyun Shangcheng clashed with Nan Xuzong
Before leaving, Yi Yun Shangcheng gave her many instructions, and specifically told Yi Yun Muchen that if she wanted Bei Gong Jue Shi to survive, she must follow the doctor's advice and take good care of Bei Gong Jue Shi!
——
Ji Wushang sat at his desk, looking at the countless books before him. These books were all taken from the "Picking Stars and Playing with the Moon" building. They were filled with a lot of knowledge about medicine, and some of them introduced the origin of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty and some knowledge about the Western Regions Dynasty, the Bohai Dynasty, and the Fusang Kingdom.
Ji Wushang whiled away the time, and before he knew it, it was already Hai Shi (9-11 PM). He stretched and yawned, but still hadn't seen Nan Xuzong return, and couldn't help but feel worried. At this moment, Xian'er was making the bed and then came out from inside, cleaning the small study as she went.
Ji Wushang closed the book, thinking of going out to take a look, but Zhu'er came in from outside, carrying a bowl of lotus seed soup.
As long as Ji Wushang and Nan Xuzong hadn't fallen asleep, Zhu'er would still maintain her old habit of bringing him a bowl of lotus seed soup around 9 PM, so that he could eat it and then go to sleep.
"Miss, would you like to eat something? You haven't had dinner, and you've been staying up all this time, it'll get..."
"Let's put it aside!" Before Zhu'er could finish speaking, Ji Wushang smiled and interrupted her, "I don't have much of an appetite."
"Sigh, that's true. Why hasn't the young master come back so late?" Zhu'er looked at Ji Wushang and sighed. "Could something have happened?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xian'er turned around and scolded Zhu'er, then glanced at Ji Wushang, indicating that her mistress was already worried, and Zhu'er was still saying such things, wouldn't that make Ji Wushang even more worried?
Zhu'er immediately covered her mouth, looking at Ji Wushang with deep regret, but Ji Wushang did not say anything more.
Xian'er stepped forward and asked, "Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Ji Wushang glanced at them. "I'm going to read for a while longer. You can go down first. You don't need to keep watch." He didn't even know when he would go to sleep, so he might as well let them go down.
"Yes." The two listened, glanced at it a few more times, and then went downstairs.
Ji Wushang sat at his desk, lost in thought. They had agreed to have dinner together that evening, but he hadn't returned yet. What was going on?
With a creak, the door opened, and Ji Wushang looked up, overjoyed. "Cong!" But instead, she saw someone else. The door quickly closed, and before she could react, the person was already sitting in front of her!
"Ah!" Ji Wushang exclaimed, and he immediately covered Ji Wushang's cherry lips.
"Surprised?" He breathed hot air onto Ji Wushang's face, and Ji Wushang recoiled abruptly. "Didn't you go back? Why did you suddenly come back?"
"It's been so long, how could I not come back?" Yi Yun Shangcheng's thin lips curled slightly. "Guess what I brought back?"
"I don't know." Ji Wushang looked at him. "Your Highness, isn't it inappropriate for you to break into my place at night?" Ji Wushang stood up and kept his distance from him. "I can forgive what you did to me, but please, leave first."
"Oh?" He pursed his thin lips slightly and frowned slightly. "You know what? I did it."
"What do you mean?" Ji Wushang stepped back.
"I am now the King of the Western Regions. How about it? Are you happy?" He smiled innocently, with a hint of arrogance. The black robe he wore became even more sinister as he smiled.
Ji Wushang was taken aback. "You've only been back for such a short time, and you've already become a king?"
“Not short.” Yiyun Shangcheng smiled. “Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to offer my congratulations to the new dynasty. Do you want peace on the frontier, or continuous warfare? Oh, it seems your great general father and I have clashed a few times. If war breaks out, I think it will be him who leads the expedition!”
"What exactly do you want?" Ji Wushang glared at him coldly. "I can let it go as a way of repaying your past kindness by using witchcraft to control my mind. But if you're trying to force me to do something else, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Heh!" Yi Yun Shangcheng sneered and walked towards Ji Wushang.
Ji Wushang watched as she retreated backward, but in the end she could only retreat to the wall, leaning against the cold wall, with nowhere to go.
"What do you think I can do?" He chuckled twice.
"Yiyun Shangcheng, please have some self-respect!" Ji Wushang said sternly to him, "If you want to destroy me and attract everyone's attention, I admit it, and I will satisfy you."
Yiyun Shangcheng shook her head, "Why are you so sure about me?"
"What do you think?" Ji Wushang asked coldly.
"I reclaimed the throne of the Western Regions for you, and I can offer you the position of empress. Aren't you happy? Aren't you happy for me?" Yi Yun Shangcheng's eyes became somewhat ambiguous, and he gently stroked Ji Wushang's face with his large hand.
Ji Wushang dodged the question, saying, "Actually, the throne belongs to you. If you want it, don't make excuses. I hope you can be a good king who cares for his people."
"I'd like to ask you something, what do I lack compared to him?" Yi Yun Shangcheng grabbed Ji Wushang's chin, forcing her to look at him.
“You can’t compare, understand?” Ji Wushang’s tone turned cold. “Let go of my hand.”
"Let go?" Yi Yun lowered her head and looked at her. "I know I'm late. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me? I love you. Go."
"Stop!" Just then, a cold voice rang out, and his golden silk suddenly attacked Yiyun Upper City!
Yiyun Shangcheng deftly dodged, saying, "You've come." It was a statement of certainty; he knew Nan Xuzong would definitely return, and, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." In such a short time, he knew that Nan Xuzong had seized the throne and become the new King of the Western Regions. Hmph, he'd finally met his match in this life! That gold thread, excellent technique!
Ji Wushang rushed over to Nan Xuzong's side, calling out, "Cong." A hint of nervousness crossed his face, but seeing Nan Xuzong's icy expression brought him a sense of relief. He gently released his hand, gesturing for Ji Wushang to take it, and Ji Wushang placed his hand on it.
Looking at their intimate scene, Yi Yun Shangcheng was extremely displeased. Her eyes turned from purple to red, and the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth was evident. "Today I finally get to see the Prince of Nan. As expected, Jin Si is extraordinary."
Nan Xuzong saw that he was dressed in a black robe, like a demon crawling out of hell. His eyes turned red, his thin lips curled up slightly, and he raised his arrogant expression, exuding an air of domineering arrogance. However, the evil aura emanating from him made Nan Xuzong break out in a cold sweat. Such a formidable opponent would surely suffer if he acted rashly.
"Greetings, King of the Western Regions. But, Your Majesty, you are not in the Western Regions. What brings you here?" Nan Xuzong's expression flashed with disdain. "Has Wu Shang offended you in any way that you are making things so difficult for him?"
Nan Xuzong viewed his entanglement with Ji Wushang as a form of harassment. Most men would have misunderstandings if they saw their woman touching someone else, but this one sentence dispelled all of Ji Wushang's worries.
He has great confidence in himself.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He gently squeezed her hand, sending her endless warmth.
Ji Wushang nodded. Having him in this life was enough.
"I've come to reclaim what belongs to me, and you dare to stop me?" Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled. "What makes you, a mere prince, have the right to contend with me?"
"Wu Shang loves me, do I need to fight for it? If you know what love is, you should go back to your Western Regions and marry your Western Regions Queen."
"She is my queen." A playful smile played on his lips. "I have important matters to attend to tonight and no time for you. Wu Shang, wait for me! As for Prince Nan, you'd better watch out!" With that, he vanished! His movements were faster than lightning!
Ji Wushang was startled, while Nan Xuzong, though his expression remained unchanged, felt a surge of worry in his heart.
"He controlled your mind, didn't he?" Nan Xuzong pulled her into his arms. "I believe you and he are innocent, but Wushang, tell me, it's very important to me."
“It was him.” Ji Wushang nodded and recounted their first meeting and everything that followed. Finally, he said, “That’s it.”
"That's it?" Nan Xuzong looked at her with a smile.
"Yes." She was certain.
“I believe you,” Nan Xuzong said, looking at her, “just as you believe me.”
“But I’m worried he might do something to you.” Ji Wushang looked at him. “Also, why did you come back so late?” She was so preoccupied with herself that she forgot to ask him!
"Because of tomorrow's events, Prime Minister Gao Zuo couldn't contain himself and colluded with the Second Prince, plotting something sinister. We'll know the situation tomorrow. I spoke with Minhao last night to get his opinion, and he said that this time, he absolutely must marry Miss Gao. You shouldn't try to persuade him. When he gets stubborn, he's more obstinate than anyone else." Nan Xuzong looked at Ji Wushang and said calmly.
“That’s not fair to him. We must have other methods; we don’t necessarily have to sacrifice him.” Ji Wushang looked at him. “There must be other methods, right?”
“I also hope there’s another way.” Nan Xuzong hugged her. “Let’s rest and see what happens tomorrow.”
Ji Wushang nodded.
The next morning was a bit chilly. Before dawn, Ji Wushang woke up, looked at Nan Xuzong who was looking him over, and smiled, "What's wrong?"
“No, I’m thinking about what Yiyun Shangcheng really wants.” Nan Xuzong sighed and sat up straight. In the rising sunlight, Ji Wushang looked at his strong upper body, but no matter what, he felt that something was not quite perfect.
I have this feeling that he might disappear from my sight at any moment. I'm so worried, so very worried. Ever since I saw Yiyun City yesterday... everything feels like it's constantly changing, and no one can stop what's destined to happen.
Ji Wushang got out of bed, personally undressed him, and then helped him to the wheelchair. The two worked together tacitly, but never said a word.
He suddenly pulled her close, kissed her hard, and then let go. "Good morning."
