Chapter 1074: The Empress Dowager’s request!
In the Langya King’s mansion, the lanterns flickered.
“Liu Qing’s house? what did you say?”
The Woman in Black was shocked.”There’s an Army coming for Langye County?!!”
King Langya knelt on one knee.”Your Majesty, the spy I planted in Youzhou just reported that an hour ago, an Army from the East of Youzhou came to Langya County overnight.”
At this point, his tone was a little low.””According to the information, this Army has no less than five thousand people, and they are all riding on earth dragons!”
As soon as he said that, The Woman in Black Fell heavily to the ground. Xue Ying’s expression changed. Only ye chen remained silent.
“Youzhou is the fief of the ghost king. Even he would have to report to the Imperial court for such a large Army to gather!“
“And now, he secretly mobilized the Army at night. Could it be that he wants to target you, Your Highness?” Xue Ying said with a gloomy expression.
“This King is not worried about this!”
King Langya took a deep breath and said,””This King is worried that your whereabouts have been leaked. Otherwise, the ghost king’s reaction would not be so intense.”
The Langya King knew a little about the ghost king’s rebellion. However, for a long time, Langya County and Youzhou had never interfered with each other.
Now that an Army had suddenly come from Youzhou, and their target was Langya County, the only explanation was that the Empress Dowager’s whereabouts had been exposed.
As his voice fell!
The black-clothed woman’s body trembled slightly!
The ghost king!
She knew about this vassal king who had been enfeoffed. He was extremely shrewd. Although he supported the Imperial court on the surface, he had been secretly in contact with the substitute King.
Most importantly, the ghost king was lustful and had defiled countless women. If she fell into his hands, the consequences …
“How dare the ghost king?”
Xue Ying clenched his fists and said coldly,”you must know that the Imperial court has set up a supervisor envoy in order to control the vassals who have been conferred titles. The responsibility of a supervisor envoy is to control and control the vassals. Are you not afraid that the supervisor envoy would …”
Before he could finish, ye chen said indifferently,””I’m afraid that the supervisor from Youzhou has already changed sides!”
“Mr. Ye is right!”
“Yes.” Langya King nodded slowly.”And I guess that the Army this time is not from Youzhou. They seem to be from the northern barbarians.”
“Northern barbarian? Ye chen was surprised.
“Mr. Ye, you may not know this, but there are many foreign clans in our sect. The northern barbarians are the most powerful among them!”
As if sensing his confusion, Langya King explained,””Because the northern barbarians live in a bitter and cold place with miasma in the mountains and forests, and they are extremely good at riding horses and making traps, our sect has been unable to completely exterminate them for so many years.”
He paused for a moment and continued,”the eastern part of Youzhou is a tribe of the northern barbarians. They are known as the fire barbarian race. They are extremely good at controlling fire.”
“If it’s the northern barbarian Army, then the situation is more serious!”
Liu Fei’s tone was a little heavy.”First of all, Prince you and the northern barbarians are in secret contact. Secondly, I heard that a heaven barbarian has appeared in the northern barbarians recently. I’m afraid only a martial King can compete with him!”“
The moment these words were said!
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy!
The cultivation levels of martial arts in the ancient barren world were: acquired, connate, revered martial artist, Martial Emperor, martial Grandmaster, martial King, and after that, the legendary martial Saint!
A martial King!
That was the closest realm to the martial Saint realm!
In the entire Northern Territory, there were only a handful of martial Kings. Only the Imperial advisor had such combat strength!
“Martial King …”
Xue Ying felt a sharp pain in his throat. He opened his mouth with difficulty and said,””Doesn’t that mean that we don’t have any way out?”
“The northern barbarians in the East of Youzhou are less than 2000 miles away from Langye County. With the help of the Earth Dragon, the northern barbarian Army will only need four hours to arrive!” Liu Fei laughed bitterly.
“Mr. Ye, may I ask if you are a martial Grandmaster?” King Langya suddenly looked at ye chen.
“It can be considered so!”
Ye chen nodded slightly. He was not clear about the cultivation system of the ancient barren world but from the martial arts Grandmaster he had killed earlier, his combat ability must be above that of a martial arts Grandmaster!
“Plop!”
Then, King Langya suddenly knelt down in front of ye chen and said with utmost sincerity,””Mr. Ye, I’ve never knelt down and begged anyone in my life. But now, I have to ask you for a favor!”
“I beg you to protect the Empress Dowager and bring her back to the capital!”
He looked at ye chen with a pleading expression.”The Empress Dowager’s safety concerns the fate of our great sect. Once she dies, our great sect will fall apart. The vassals will be in a chaotic war and the people will be trapped in deep waters.”
“I beg you for the sake of the people of this world!”
After saying that, he heavily pressed his head against the ground!
Ye chen did not say a word!
He didn’t want to get involved in the internal conflicts of the major sects, because it would implicate many karma, and it might even slow down his pace of finding su Yuhan!
“Plop!”
Liu Fei also knelt down heavily.”I beg Mr. Ye to escort the Empress Dowager back to the capital. This junior is willing to serve you as a slave!!!”
“Plop!”
Beside him, Xue Ying knelt down as well,”Mister ye, Xue Ying has followed his teacher in cultivation all his life. The sect is Xue Ying’s home. Xue Ying can’t bear to see the country fall apart and the people suffer. Please!!!”
Seeing this scene, the black-robed woman did not say a word. However, her Phoenix eyes, which were hidden under the veil, were filled with tears.
‘Late Emperor, did you see that …’
The great sect was facing internal and external troubles, and the Kings were about to rebel, but there were still such loyal ministers and righteous men!
A few seconds later, she bent her legs slightly and knelt down gently in front of ye chen.”Mr. Ye, I’m not afraid of death. I’m only afraid that I’ll let down the late Emperor’s last wish and the people of this world!!!”
“Empress Dowager …”
King Langya looked sad.
Even ye chen was shocked.
He didn’t expect that the Empress Dowager would be willing to lower her status and kneel before him!
He wanted to refuse, but he suddenly felt that his shoulders were heavy. He took a deep breath and slowly said,””In the future, the great sect must do three things for me!“
“Thank you, Mr. Ye!”
The black-clothed woman kowtowed heavily!
“Get up!”
Ye chen waved his sleeve and looked out of the hall with a slight frown.”Since the enemy is already on their way, we need to set off as soon as possible!”
“Mr. Ye, I’ve already calculated the schedule!”
King Langya said,”this time, the northern barbarian Army is coming from the east. The North is the territory of Youzhou. Therefore, you can only take the West and cross the Longyuan River. You can’t have too many people. Otherwise, it will be easy to leak the news.”
“Therefore, Mister ye only needs to bring along the Empress Dowager, my daughter, and Xue Ying!”
“Father, what about you?” Liu Fei said.
King Langya shook his head slightly.”Langye County is a fief given to me by the late Emperor. How can I leave it? therefore, I’ve decided to stay in Langye County.”
“But …” Liu Fei still wanted to speak.
As if he sensed her worry, the former smiled faintly,””Don’t worry, Prince you and the northern barbarians won’t dare to do anything to me, unless they are determined to break off relations with the Imperial court!”
“Let’s go, all of you, let’s go …”
