Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 598
Chapter 598 Exploding Rong Jin
Looking at that miserable, crisscrossed, fleshy face, coupled with that feigned light voice, Zhou Jingyan’s body couldn’t help but tremble. After experiencing this, he would probably have nightmares when he returned.
He dodged An Hua’s pouncing body and couldn’t help but frown. “Wait outside the door.”
An Hua pounced on Zhou Jingyan. He used his fastest body to stabilize his body and didn’t fall to the ground. Just as he steadied himself, he heard Zhou Jingyan’s emotionless cold voice, causing An Hua’s expression to change again and again.
She almost gritted her teeth. From Zhou Jingyan’s eyes, she could clearly see a trace of disgust. The hands under her wide sleeves could not help but clench tightly together. She would become like a ghost without a ghost. Wasn’t it all for the sake of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? What was the result? What did he get? He was actually disgusted!
Her heart ached slightly, followed by a wisp of hatred. After these two months, An Hua had fully understood the current situation, especially now that she could not offend Zhou Jingyan. Otherwise, she would have lost her last shelter.
Thinking of this, An Hua’s eyes lit up slightly, and a strange look appeared in his eyes. He saluted towards Zhou Jingyan’s square lianren and quickly retreated. However, the moment the door was closed, only a trace of coldness flashed across An Hua’s intact eyes.
After the door closed, Zhou Jingyan heaved a sigh of relief. An Hua’s face was simply too lethal.
However, Zhou Jingyan thought of another woman in the room. His eyes wrinkled together again. After quickly winding around the screen, A few moments later, he saw a woman in a blue dress embroidered with exquisite patterns. The woman’s soft hair was gently pulled up and fixed with a simple jade hairpin. She had a face with bright eyes and bright teeth. The corner of her mouth had a bright smile. Hearing him enter, she raised her head gently and the smile on her face grew wider and wider. She said softly, “You’re here.”
Her delicate appearance did not allow anyone to associate her with the word’kill without blinking an eye ‘.
However, Zhou Jingyan was well aware of Xiao Yuqi’s character. He did not forget that in that dream, when Rong Jin’s army finally invaded the palace, Xiao Yuqiyi resolutely threw herself away and escaped alone. This scene appeared in Zhou Jingyan’s mind time and time again.
Therefore, no matter how weak Xiao Yuqi pretended to be, Zhou Jingyan would not relax his vigilance towards her. If he did not need Xiao Yuqi, he would have already been slaughtered.
However, now, he still had to make up his mind with this woman.
Looking at the innocent and harmless appearance of the woman in front of him, Zhou Jingyan once again remembered that in his dreams, the woman who always cared about him. Every time he saw her, the light in her eyebrows was enough to pale the stars in the sky.
Looking at the woman in front of him, he felt that she couldn’t close the door on that shy woman.
However, when he thought about how that woman was actually in someone else’s embrace, Zhou Jingyan’s heart became a little strange. He wished he could snatch her back immediately. However, this day would not be too far off. As long as he won this bet, he would be able to own the entire country and the beauty.
At that time, no one could stop him in the slightest!
Right now, he only needed to endure for a period of time. As long as he could obtain the formula of gunpowder from Xiao Yuqi, or obtain a batch of gunpowder, Xiao Yuqi would have no meaning to him, and she would no longer have any meaning to continue to exist.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jingyan’s heart finally relaxed a little. He said coldly, “Did you send someone to find me? Is the matter of gunpowder done?” If it wasn’t for the gunpowder, Zhou Jingyan wouldn’t want to see Xiao Yuqi at all.
“Your majesty why so anxious? The matter of gunpowder is of great importance, It’s already troublesome to develop, Moreover, it was still produced in such large quantities, The last batch of gunpowder, It took me more than a month to make it, Unfortunately, it hasn’t really come in handy yet, was destroyed, “Xiao Yuqi said somewhat carelessly, However, a harsh look flashed through his sharp eyes. The last batch of gunpowder was originally intended to be used against Rong Xun after Zhou Jingyan, Rong Jin, and the others had been designed to snatch back Border City. However, Rong Jin and the others had returned earlier than she had expected. This batch of gunpowder was also exposed, causing Rong Jin to ignite in Chen Zhou City. Not only did he not take down Border City, he even compensated Chen Zhou City.
However, up until now, Xiao Yuqi still couldn’t figure out how this batch of gunpowder was exposed.
She had also sent people to investigate for a long time, but they had found nothing. In addition, to this day, it was even more difficult to trace it.
Thinking of the gunpowder that had been destroyed, Zhou Jingyan’s eyes became gloomy. “Since this batch of gunpowder hasn’t been finished yet, why are you looking for me?” Knowing the truth of his previous life, he thought of the methods Xiao Yuqi had used after she had been schemed, which shocked her. He had cooperated with Xiao Yuqi until now, but he did not expect that Xiao Yuqi had actually concealed a portion of her strength. And it was this portion of her strength that almost caused the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty to fall into Xiao Yuqi’s hands.
Fortunately, that batch of power had already been eradicated by him.
However, Zhou Jingyan was no longer interested in making a fake deal with Xiao Yuqi.
“Isn’t this about gunpowder? I can’t look for His Majesty anymore?” Although Xiao Yuqi’s voice was still gentle, and there was even a faint smile in her brows, her eyes flickered with coldness and malice.
Zhou Jingyan’s expression was cold, and there was a faint disdain in his eyebrows. He was about to turn around and leave.
Seeing Zhou Jingyan’s actions, Xiao Yuqi was displeased. She was actually so impatient. A sharp arc swept across the corner of her mouth. Seeing that Zhou Jingyan had already taken a few steps, she said loudly, “I heard that His Majesty is going to see the Swallow King and his wife in Country of Xiyue alone?”
The cold and gloomy aura mixed in with this voice caused Zhou Jingyan’s footsteps to immediately stop. He turned around and stared at Xiao Yuqi’s face with a gloomy gaze. The matter of him sending a letter to Rong Jin and his wife inviting them to meet was not revealed at all. How did Xiao Yuqi know?
Thinking of this, a trace of coldness and killing intent flashed through Zhou Jingyan’s eyes. Unexpectedly, a spy had appeared beside him!
Zhou Jingyan returned to normal as fast as he could, his eyes cold. “So what?” It seemed that Xiao Yuqi had planted quite a few people beside her during the time she had fallen to the cliff, and even rebelled against the people around her. This ability was pretty good, but unfortunately, such a method was actually used on her. He would let those who betrayed him know how great a matter it was to betray her master!
Xiao Yuqi smiled as she took out a bulging package from under the table and placed it on the table. Looking at Xiao Yuqi’s strength, it seemed that the contents of the package were somewhat heavy.
However, Xiao Yuqi did not open the package in front of Zhou Jingyan. “Your Majesty is now the ruler of a country in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Every word and deed is related to everything in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Every action is related to the survival of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I heard that the Swallow Prince and his wife are very cunning. For Your Majesty’s safety, I made such a thing for Your Majesty to defend myself overnight. Your Majesty should keep it well.”
Seeing Xiao Yuqi’s appearance, Zhou Jingyan frowned slightly. He slowly walked forward and opened the parcel in Xiao Yuqi’s hand. However, when he saw the contents of the parcel, a strange look flashed through his sharp eyes. “What do you mean?”
At this moment, a piece of gunpowder was wrapped in a cloth bag.
Xiao Yuqi smiled gently, “Does His Majesty not want to take the lives of the Swallow King and his wife?” One had to know that the Emperor of West Vietnam had been raised by the Swallow King since he was young. “No matter how emotional it is, the current Yue Emperor loves Princess Yan very much. I heard that the Swallow King’s martial arts skills are high. As long as we prepare this gunpowder well, we can naturally capture the Swallow King and his wife. As long as we have the Swallow King and his wife in our hands, with the feelings of the Yue Emperor towards them, wouldn’t Xi Yue be able to capture them?”
Her voice was as gentle as water, but the words she spoke were so vicious. No wonder everyone said that the more vicious a woman was, the more gentle her face became. So this was not empty talk.
Zhou Jingyan’s brows furrowed, and he became even more disgusted with Xiao Yuqi’s words. However, Xiao Yuqi’s words really reminded him.
What he wanted was not to capture the Swallow King and his wife, but Rong Jin’s death! As long as Rong Jin died, Country of Xiyue would be within his grasp, and Yun Xiao would return to his embrace!
As long as he used the gunpowder in his hand properly, he could really kill Rong Jin!
As long as he killed Rong Jin, the people in this world would no longer pose a threat to him.
Zhou Jingyan held the gunpowder in his hand, and the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of playfulness. “The Empress really knows how to share my worries.” After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Xiao Yuqi stared at the figure that was walking backwards, the corner of her mouth revealing a trace of disgust, “This concubine respectfully sends His Majesty off.”
Zhou Jingyan still walked out. He did not look back. He only opened the door and saw An Hua standing outside the room. His thick brows furrowed, and his deep eyes revealed a trace of coldness. “Scram! Don’t let me see you again.”
He didn’t know why Xiao Yuqi had sent people to save An Hua, who was neither a person nor a ghost. After all, An Hua’s identity had already been revealed, and it was no longer of any use to them.
An Hua’s body trembled a few times, and he immediately knelt down. Only when he saw Zhou Jingyan leave did he stand up. However, his face, which was filled with fear, was now filled with hatred.
An Hua turned around and entered the room. He saw Xiao Yuqi, who was sitting not far away from the table. She said coldly, “When are you going to kill him?” Naturally, he was referring to Zhou Jingyan.
Xiao Yuqi faintly glanced over An Hua’s body and said indifferently, “What’s the hurry?”
Seeing Xiao Yuqi’s faint eyebrows, An Hua felt a chill run down his spine. “I want him to be even more miserable than me, even less human than me!” He would never forget how Zhou Jingyan treated him when they were captured together in the Country of Xiyue Imperial Palace!
