Chapter 127 The War King actually went to see another woman
The entire capital was in turmoil. The civil officials, led by the Zhuang family, had begun to prepare to impeach the King of War, and were indignant about the Zhuang family's unprovoked suffering.
The unemployed military generals in the capital also began to get ready, thinking that it was finally time for them to stand on their side and make meritorious deeds.
Those civil officials who did not participate in the impeachment led by Zhuang Lao were also worried about the situation in the capital. They had no idea whether the King of War had come back from the dead and whether his return was for revenge or to seize power.
If the Jingji Guards had not been under the command of the Holy Lord, the War King, everyone would have thought that the War King was going to abdicate.
The War King who caused all this turmoil has been out of touch since he returned to the War King's Mansion. Everything outside is decided by Mo Chuyi and Manager Huo.
After King Zhan returned home, the first thing he did was to see Yaoguang.
When the War Prince knocked Su Jixue unconscious, Gui Mingzhu and Yaoguang were both arranged to accompany Su Jixue in the bedroom. After Su Jixue woke up, she participated in the defense of the War Prince's mansion, and Yaoguang was directly arranged by Jinling to stay in the wing room of the side hall.
Twelve learned the news after the War King came back. When he heard that he was going to see Yaoguang first, a light flashed in his gloomy eyes.
He looked at Gui Mingzhu, who was busy wiping the blood off Su Jixue's hands, with a provocative look: "Did you hear that Prince Zhan went to Yaoguang's room first? He didn't come to see your sister first, but went to see another woman first!"
Gui Mingzhu glanced at the shiny white cloth around his neck with displeasure: "The prince should have cut your trachea with a knife!"
She had never met anyone more annoying than Twelve, who spoke vicious words every time he opened his mouth.
Why does the War King still keep him!
But Mingzhu was also puzzled as to why the prince went to visit Yaoguang first when he returned home. It was undeniable that Twelve's words had an impact on Mingzhu.
He is so annoying!
Mingzhu was not the only one who was puzzled. Yaoguang was also taken aback when she received the report from the maid. She asked the maid to help her stand up and greet Prince Zhan in the outer room. "Is it because of the eldest lady that the prince is looking for Yaoguang?"
Although it was strange, Yaoguang was naturally intelligent and well-versed in poetry and books, which helped Su Mingyue win first place in various gatherings, so her insights were naturally different.
The War King did not answer. His originally indifferent expression changed when he saw that Yaoguang, despite being seriously injured, still maintained courtesy. After getting up, she reluctantly leaned on the chaise longue in the outer room and even asked a little maid to accompany her, so as not to give anyone a chance to talk. She was a tough and smart person.
His indifferent eyes softened slightly, and he nodded and ordered, "Everyone else, please leave first."
It seemed that the War King wanted to speak to Yaoguang alone.
Yaoguang's heart tightened slightly, but she didn't show it on her face. She intuitively felt that the War King wanted to tell her something very important.
Silence spread between the two.
The War King took the tea the maid had just offered him, tapping his fingers lightly on the rim of the cup. He asked nonchalantly, "What are your plans for the future?"
He didn't look at Yaoguang, but she felt a weight on her body. Without thinking, she said, "Yaoguang will be the young lady's from now on. Whatever the young lady does, so will Yaoguang!"
"It's not enough." The War King raised his eyelids slightly, and his narrow and long icy eyes glanced at Yaoguang lightly. His eyes were like ice cones, making Yaoguang feel pain on her skin.
"Yaoguang's life is worthless, and this life belongs to the young lady!" Yaoguang gritted her teeth and looked at the War King: "I will go through fire and water for the young lady, even if it means death!"
Yaoguang did not say this because she was forced by the War King, but it was what she thought in her heart.
"When Ah Xue rescued you, he asked me to arrange a new identity for you. That dead soldier wasn't lying. He only has his elderly parents left at home. If you want a stable life, you can settle down in his home, serve him in his old age, and see him to his death."
It was the first time that the War King spoke so many words to Yaoguang. He spoke slowly but every word was full of pressure. His eyes never left Yaoguang, as if he was judging her sincerity.
"If you choose this way, Axue won't blame you, and this king won't treat you unfairly. Are you willing?"
"Yaoguang only wishes to follow the young lady for the rest of her life and repay her kindness in supporting me!" Yaoguang struggled to get off the chaise longue and knelt on the ground: "I hope Your Majesty will grant me this!"
Yaoguang knew that the Zhan Wang Mansion was in crisis, as evidenced by what happened last night. She also knew that Zhan Wang's proposal was a safe option, allowing her to live the rest of her life in peace.
After all, the favor of a widow who died in battle was enough to help her escape from her original predicament.
But she could not forget the eldest lady who jumped from the tree that night, nor could she forget the words she said and the things she did for her.
If it weren't for the eldest lady, Qingtuan would have been just Qingtuan until her death, but now she is Yaoguang.
It is the star of Pojun, breaking through the darkness and finally becoming a star.
"Your current ability is not enough." The War King did not comment. He looked at Yaoguang, whose face became even paler due to the wound when she knelt down, and did not let her stand up.
"Yaoguang can learn. If the young lady's path in the future is destined to be full of obstacles, Yaoguang is willing to be the one who leads the way with a sickle!" Yaoguang said resolutely, bowing her head heavily on the ground.
Since the King of War came to see her in person, the young lady's future must be full of challenges.
When he followed the second young lady, Qingtuan learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
If these are useless, Yaoguang is willing to learn new skills. She is willing to become the eldest lady's right-hand man and a useful person.
"Her body is too weak to support what she wants to do." The War King lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand. The green cup was filled with green tea. It looked exquisite, but it could not withstand any storm.
Yaoguang raised her eyes and looked at the legendary figure of Dongchu in front of her.
He was in the backyard at this time. If it weren't for the blood on his white clothes, one would not have been able to identify the legendary murderous decisiveness, cruelty and ruthlessness.
"What do you need Yaoguang to do?" Yaoguang clenched her fists, prepared for the important task that the War King might entrust to her.
"Her identity is special, and she will face many dangers in the future, so she needs someone to protect her." The War King said this, then raised his eyes to look at Yaoguang, his narrow, icy eyes outlined by black lines, and his eyes were deep and unfathomable. "You can't even protect yourself, so staying with her will only be a burden."
Yaoguang's face was a little grim. She didn't want to be a burden if she followed the eldest lady. She thought for a moment and said, "Yaoguang is already old. Even if she practices martial arts, she won't be able to become a master. Does the prince have any secret techniques?"
"If there is, Yaoguang is willing to be the one who can protect the young lady, even at the cost of her life!"
The War King looked indifferent, his eyes cold as he looked at Yaoguang. His loyalty needed to be verified, but he was indeed a smart one: "If you are so determined, you can stay with her."
Otherwise, he would definitely help Axue eliminate any hidden dangers that might arise around her.
"I happen to have a method for forging bones. Do you dare to try it?"
"For the young lady, there's nothing Yaoguang wouldn't dare to do!" Yaoguang's eyes shone brightly, her face filled with determination. She had also witnessed the young lady's heroic spirit, and if she had the chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, she would be more than happy to do so.
"The bone forging method requires breaking all bones in the body, and then forging them into the most suitable shape when they grow back together. The process is difficult and the pain of breaking bones is unbearable for ordinary people." The War King said in a light voice, his eyes revealing a condescending coldness: "Think carefully before you respond."
"No need to think about it, Yaoguang is willing!" Yaoguang responded heavily.
"Okay." The War King stood up and threw the teacup onto the table. The cup was placed steadily on the table, and the tea inside was as smooth as a mirror, without a drop spilled.
He walked out and said, "Wait, I will strengthen your bones tonight."
"Your Highness, Yaoguang is grateful for your plans for the eldest lady, but since the eldest lady is the future Princess Zhan, why is there so much danger?" Yaoguang couldn't help but ask as she looked at the back of Prince Zhan.
If the young lady is in danger, what about the War King? Will he not protect her?
There is something unsettling about the War King's words today.
