Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 566
Chapter 566 No News
The news that Zhou Jingyan had fallen into the cliff spread back to the capital as quickly as possible, causing everyone to be panicked for a moment.
Civil and military officials were also impetuous. Now, Zhou Jingyan was the future Savage Monarch. Now that he had fallen into a cliff, life and death were unknown. Most likely, there was no way to survive. The Eastern Jin Dynasty had become a pile of scattered sand.
Right at this moment, the rumors of civil and military officials recommending the ninth prince, Zhou Jingxu, grew louder and louder.
However, just as everyone was searching for Zhou Jingxu, the Ninth Prince, Zhou Jingxu, seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Helplessly, someone followed the footsteps of the other little princes and ascended to the throne as emperors.
However, at a time when everyone was panicking, news of Princess Xiao’s pregnancy spread throughout the Third Prince’s mansion. Even so, it was still not enough to calm people’s hearts.
Princess Xiao was pregnant, not to mention whether she was giving birth to a brother or a sister. This pregnancy was very difficult. If she was not careful, it was still unknown whether this child would survive. In addition, it would take ten months for her to give birth to a child and the little prince to grow up. It would take at least ten years for her to be in charge of the government.
In the past ten years, who would handle the government was another matter.
Therefore, Princess Xiao’s pregnancy was not convincing at all.
However, just when everyone was not trusting, they saw Princess Xiao catch all the people who were in the limelight in jail with lightning speed. However, this did not stop everyone from talking.
Although the other ministers were conflicted in their hearts, they still talked about letting the oldest prince ascend to the throne.
However, after the minister raised this matter, the little prince was killed that night, and the minister who raised this matter was also killed inexplicably in the room.
After killing the two princes, all the ministers didn’t dare to speak rashly in the court to protect themselves.
All of a sudden, Xiao Yuqi controlled the government. All the ministers dared to be angry, but they didn’t dare to say anything. A very subtle feeling also formed in the court.
…
However, the incident between the Swallow King and Princess Yan had also spread back to Country of Xiyue. Especially Rong Xun who rushed to save her, he was only a step too late. He watched helplessly as the entire dense forest was burned, and the sound of explosions constantly rang out. This also made Rong Xun dispirited for a long time.
However, Rong Xun did not want to believe that Rong Jin and Yun Xiao would die in this fire. He continuously sent people to search for Yun Xiao and Rong Jin’s whereabouts, but they found nothing.
In his grief, he directly declared war on the Eastern Jin Dynasty!
The armies of the two countries were confronting each other beside the border city, and they were situated in the depths of the dense forest.
There were also a few wars of various sizes. Rong Xun spent eight days to defeat Border City. However, after taking down Border City, Rong Xun only brought his soldiers to recuperate in Border City and did not continue to attack the city.
On the other hand, Xiao Yuqi sent out elite soldiers to test the border city from time to time, wanting to snatch it back.
On this day, Rong Xun heard the words of the hidden guards sent to search for Yun Xiao and Rong Jin’s whereabouts. He became annoyed again. It had been half a month, but he still couldn’t find Rong Jin and Yun Xiao’s whereabouts. This made him unable to help but have some bad thoughts.
Many ministers were advising him that Rong Jin and Yun Xiao were already dead and wanted to set up a grave for the two of them. However, Rong Xun firmly believed that Rong Jin and Yun Xiao were not dead. Some even said that Rong Jin and Yun Xiao were already dead and would be punished by Rong Xun with twenty batons!
Throwing the wine jar on the ground, Ke Rong Xun felt even more miserable in his heart. He did not feel the slightest bit of comfort that others had said.
“Young Master, Princess Xiao brought a few truckloads of things from the capital to the border. This subordinate investigated them. The things in the truck did not look like grain or medicinal ingredients. It was obviously heavier than these. This subordinate was incompetent and could not find anything inside.”
After Rong Xun ordered coldly, he waved his hand to the hidden guard and took out another wine jar. He opened it and poured it into his mouth. However, every time he swallowed it, he felt that it was bitter. “Go down and continue to check. If it’s dangerous to us, destroy it directly.”
He and Rong Jin’s brothers of more than twenty years were in a stalemate. It was as if they were one. Now, the news of Rong Jin’s death was the biggest blow to Rong Xun. It was as if half of his life had just left his body.
Right at this moment, Rong Xun heard a quarrel outside. He impatiently frowned and continued to drink. However, the noise outside became louder and louder. Later, there was even the sound of a big fight.
A soldier came to report, “Emperor Taishang, there is a soldier outside who insists on entering. This subordinate cannot stop him. He has already injured several people.”
Rong Xun frowned again. Being able to injure a few of his subordinates, this soldier’s martial arts looked pretty good. Furthermore, looking at his determination, it seemed like he would never give up if he didn’t see him. Then, he impatiently waved his hand and said, “Let him in.” He wanted to see what kind of soldier was that daring.
Not long after, the soldier brought a petite looking soldier up. After saluting Rong Xun, Rong Xun waved his hand and turned to look at the soldier who had been staring at him. He was petite and could actually injure several of his subordinates? “Were you the one who was making a ruckus outside? Or even wounded my soldiers?”
“Yes,” the petite figure looked at the man sitting on the ground, drinking. Rong Xun’s feet were already filled with countless wine jars. At this moment, Rong Xun’s face was covered with a beard. He was no longer as straightforward as before, and his expression was a little drunk. Especially his pair of amber eyes, which were covered with bloodlines, made people look at him, and they didn’t dare to look up again.
The owner of the petite figure was stunned for a moment before lowering his head.
‘”Haha, what are you looking for me for? If you don’t give me a strong explanation, you can’t walk out of here today,” Rong Xun said. After that, he placed the wine jar heavily on the ground and spilled a lot of wine, some of which had already splashed onto the clothes of the petite figure.
The owner of the petite figure was once again stunned for a moment. Then, he took a step forward. Under Rong Xun’s vigilant gaze, he directly picked up a jar of wine in front of Rong Xun, unscrewed the jar, picked up the jar, and gulped down.
Rong Xun did not expect that this soldier would actually react like this after entering. Seeing that the soldier took a while to drink a jar of wine, a trace of playfulness appeared on his dejected face, he took the initiative to slap open a jar of wine and put it in front of the soldier. He coldly said, “Keep drinking!”
The soldier looked at Rong Xun and didn’t say anything. He picked up the wine jar and drank it. When he put it down, the soldier’s face had already turned a bit red.
“If you weren’t in the barracks, I would have thought you were a woman. However, women don’t have the capacity to drink like you,” said Rong Xun with a flushed face, red lips, white teeth, and a petite figure.
Being teased like this by Rong Xun, the soldier did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Rong Xun who was staring at him playfully with a certain gaze. “You like Princess Yan.”
In just six words, she used affirmative sentences, not interrogative sentences, which proved the sharpness of the soldiers.
Rong Xun’s body was tense, and his amber eyes were filled with anger as he looked at the soldier. He just felt that there was something in his heart that seemed to have been cut open, making him feel very embarrassed, “Get out!”
However, the soldier did not get out as Rong Xun wished. Instead, he sat down in front of Rong Xun and slapped open another jar of wine. He directly handed it to Rong Xun and said, “Aren’t you going to drink wine? I’ll drink with you.”
However, this time, Rong Xun did not receive the wine from the soldier. Instead, he looked at the soldier dangerously and harshly scolded, “Who exactly are you?”
The soldier took off his armor hat and put down his hair. He stared at Rong Xun with a burning gaze, “You don’t recognize me?”
Rong Xun snorted coldly and looked at her seriously. Then, he said coldly, “I don’t know her.”
“I’m Tie Qinglan,” Tie Qinglan said. Seeing that Rong Xun didn’t take the wine jar in his hand, she picked it up and drank a cup herself. “Do you remember now?”
Tie Qinglan? The big girl of the Tie Clan? Rong Xun glanced at her. Her figure gradually coincided with the figure of the woman who fought with him in the Mu Clan that day. He said sternly, “Nonsense, this is an important place in the military camp. Why are you here alone?”
Tie Qinglan looked at Rong Xun with a look that I knew would happen. Then, she said coldly, “I just want to prove that what you said back then, women are not necessarily inferior to men. At the very least, I can be stronger than many men!”
Tie Qinglan finished her words with a burning gaze. She took another sip of the wine in her mouth and saw Rong Xun staring at her in disbelief. She said loudly, “Don’t look at me like that. I’m currently sitting in the position of a hundred households by relying on my military merits.” This was the position she had exchanged for with her military merits, so Tie Qinglan said with incomparable pride.
Who said that women were inferior to men, but she did not believe in this evil! She wanted to prove to the world with her military merits that a woman could stand up to the heavens and earth!
Rong Xun glanced at Tie Qinglan and saw the persistence in her eyes. He was very familiar with this kind of gaze, just like Rong Jin. He was certain of something and would never look back. “Where do you live now?”
“Live in the soldier camp.” There were all kinds of soldiers in the soldier camp. She didn’t want to expose her identity, so she had to hide it carefully every day. She didn’t feel comfortable sleeping, but she didn’t regret it. This was her own choice, right?
“General Tie allowed you to stay in the soldier camp?” Rong Xun knew about the tragic situation in the soldier camp. A woman in such a place would definitely suffer a lot. General Tie was the general of Country of Xiyue and was loyal to Country of Xiyue. However, he was also a stubborn old man. How could he allow his daughter to enter the military camp? How could Tie Qinglan be allowed to live in a soldier camp?
“She can’t take care of me. This is my own personal matter, so I don’t need him to interfere. Besides, what’s wrong with the soldier camp? The soldier camp can also live in people!” Since she wanted to prove her ability, she naturally had to start from the bottom and be the same as all the soldiers. In this way, no one could say that she was wrong!
