DWGL _ Chapter - 10

A Turmoil 

Who Says We're Going Back to Xinan

The night was as silent as water, and the guards at the entrance of the palace were taking a nap. Suddenly, they heard a neighing from a distance. They hurriedly stood up and took a look. They saw a fast horse galloping towards them. After approaching, they realized that it turned out to be General Shen Qian Fan.

Who else should it be? The guard breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse for him: "Why is the general here?”

“Before me, who would enter the palace first?" Shen Qian Fan asked.

“No." The guard shook his head, “It has been very quiet."

Shen Qian Fan nodded, but he didn't have time to explain more, so he quickly rushed into Chongyang Gate and went straight to the imperial guard's station inside the palace.

A moment later, another team of people came, with torches shining brightly. If it weren't for Liu Gong, the guards would have thought that someone was coming to cause trouble.

"Liu--” Only one word was said, and the guards were staggered aside, watching this group of people break into the palace.

No matter how slow the brain reacts, you can perceive that something seems to be abnormal. Besides, Liu Gong has been out of office for many years, and there is absolutely no reason to run to the palace at this time, so the guards hurriedly followed into the palace, to tell the matter to the top.

The deputy commander of the imperial guards was Cao Chi, who usually looked wilted and had no expectations, but when he saw Shen Qian Fan suddenly appear, he looked like a different person.

"Take him down!" Liu Gong ordered in a loud voice as he came from afar.

The imperial troops split into two groups, some standing behind Shen Qian Fan, but more gathered beside Cao Chi.

"His Majesty has decreed." Shen Qian Fan unsheathed his sword and shouted angrily, "Arrest the Liu House traitors, if anyone resists, kill without pardon!"

"Yes!" The iron-blooded shouts were unanimous and rose to the heavens.

In a large mansion on Zhengwen Street, Tao Rende, the imperial governor, was still sleeping soundly when someone outside shouted, "Run, Master, there are bandits coming through!"

His wife sat up and said, "What's wrong?"

Although Tao Rende was over 60 years old, he was a senior official and knew that there were people in the court who were restless and had already put life and death on the line. Putting on his shoes, he pulled out his sword from the bedside and was about to take his wife outside to kill her when a soft laugh came to his ears: "Lord Tao, it's still cold outside, at least put on a garment."

"Ah yo!" Madam Tao was startled again, when did someone else come into the house?

“Xinan Wang?" Tao Rende was shocked.

Duan Bai Yue said, “The people who come outside are all experts, so it's better for Lord Tao to stay in this bedroom obediently.”

“You...dare to rebel!" Madam Tao guarded her master behind her, exuding a solemn aura.

Tao Rende: “......”

“Madam misunderstood, this king is here to protect the two of you." Duan Bai Yue said, “As for who the person outside is, Lord Tao must know it."

“The emperor is still well, how is the situation in the palace?" Lord Tao asked.

“The emperor is still in Jiangnan, but General Shen is back." Duan Bai Yue said, “After solving the group outside if there is still time, this king will go to the palace to help General Shen."

Duan Yao took out a handful of poisonous insects from his pocket, slapped them over, and stuffed them all into the mouths of the rebels in front of him. He was pulled out in the middle of the night to fight in groups. Naturally, he had to take advantage of it so as not to lose. Liu Fude took a knife from Duan Nian in his chest, blood gushing out of his mouth, and finally knelt on the ground.

There were about 100 rebels, all of whom were dead soldiers. They were obviously trying their best to put Tao Rende to death, but they did not expect that a Duan Bai Yue would be killed halfway, disrupting all plans.

Tao Rende said urgently, "Xinan Wang, the rest of the colleagues in the court-"

"Lord Tao need not worry." Duan Bai Yue said, "The Emperor has long since sent someone to protect them secretly."

"That's good." Tao Rende breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can we go back to sleep?" Duan Yao yawned.

"You can't." Duan Bai Yue rolled onto his horse, "Men, follow this King into the palace!"

Duan Yao's eyes were teary as he felt the deception, but it turned out to be more than just a fight.

The sound of killing in the palace shook the sky and the fire was raging, and the attendants and the palace ladies screamed and fled, all feeling afraid that the sky was about to change. Over the years, Liu Gong has worked hard and has placed a lot of eyeliner around Chu Yuan and in the army, so that one day he can help himself succeed. Now that it is difficult to look back, it is natural to kill a bloody path. First, remove Chu Yuan's cronies, and then inform the world that the emperor has been assassinated in Jiangnan so that he can be justified and recall the exiled Gao Wang Chu Xiang to Wang Cheng and wash the cards in his hand again.

Shen Qian Fan fought in blood, even his eyes were red.

“It's better for the general to descend as soon as possible." Liu Gong was outside the crowd and said slowly, “Now this palace is full of my people."

Shen Qian Fan grasped the hilt of the sword firmly and went straight to the door in front of him.

Not only was the palace in chaos, but Wang Cheng was already in chaos. The rebels seemed to have emerged from the ground overnight, trying to put all the members of the court who were right with Liu Fu under house arrest and captured, but they were intercepted by the shadow guards secretly set up by Chu Yuan. There were bursts of fire and killings. The bold people opened the door and listened for a while, and then they were pulled back by their wives. Do you want to join in the excitement?

Seeing that Shen Qian Fan was already a little powerless, Liu Gong sneered, turned and strode towards the imperial study.

“Where does Lord Liu want to go?” Duan Bai Yue rode his horse and stood in front, raising his eyebrows slightly.

“Xinan Wang?" Liu Gong was surprised. He didn't know why he appeared here, and he couldn't tell whether the other party was an enemy or a friend. He wanted to help Chu Yuan or to take a piece of the action from his own hands.

“I heard that there is a lot of excitement here, so this king is here.” Duan Bai Yue smiled, “It's really worth the trip."

“If Xinan Wang has the conditions, he might as well just say it." Liu Gong said.

Duan Bai Yue asked, "No matter what the request is, can Lord Liu agree?"

Liu Gong gritted his teeth: "If Xinan Wang can help me achieve my goal, all the provinces of Yungui can be ceded in the future."

Duan Bai Yue shook his head, "This king wants more than that."

Liu Gong did not expect him to have such a big appetite, so he said with discontent, "The terms I can offer are unprecedented. If it were the Chu family, I am afraid they would try to take back even the sixteen states of southwest China."

"How dare you boast about this offer?" Duan Bai Yue laughed, "What Emperor Chu can give me is unprecedented."

"Whatever Chu Yuan promises to give, I can also promise." Liu Gong was ruthless.

"What Emperor Chu can give, you cannot give, I'm afraid." Duan Bai Yue unsheathed his sword, "You'd better bring me your life so that I can take it to make someone happy."

"How dare you!" Liu Gong took two steps back, " Attack!"

Duan Bai Yue laughed coldly as the blade in his hand cut through the wind, bringing forth countless flashes of fire as gold and stone clashed with each other.

On the other hand, Duan Yao, probably because he was not awake, was also much more brutal. After throwing Shen Qian Fan aside, he started to scatter poisonous insects all over the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of people were killed.

Shen Qian Fan: "......"

The fierce battle lasted until dawn, and the Chu army won a complete victory. Liu Gong and his son were tied up and thrown into prison on charges of conspiracy. The rest of the rebels were killed and injured countless times, and all the members of the dynasty in the Liu Mansion line were also controlled. When the remaining officials came to the court on the second day, the hall, which had been filled to capacity, was half empty.

"Lord Taifu, is General Shen all right?" Liu Da Jiong was worried - after this disaster, he was one of the few members of the Liu family in the court.

Taifu said, "Don't worry, Lord Liu, there will be no delay in the marriage with your niece."

Lord Liu's love of matchmaking was well known throughout the court and the officials laughed when they heard this, dispelling much of the anxiety caused by last night's events.

But having said that, even the highly respected Master Taifu didn't expect Chu Yuan to have expected this day a long time ago, and shadow guards were placed around everyone to protect him. Thinking of this, it is inevitable to celebrate, but fortunately, I have not done anything wrong in a moment of confusion.

Although Shen Qian Fan suffered some injuries, he was not in danger of his life, and he would be well after a few more days of nourishment. Duan Bai Yue left on the afternoon of the second day, saying that he was going back to Xinan.

"What does Xinan Wang think about Shada?" Shen Qian Fan asked.

"With the fall of the Liu family, no one should bother with him." Duan Bai Yue said, "As for why Liu Gong wanted him to enter the city and why Guli died in the streets, all this has nothing to do with Xinan, so it would be inconvenient for me to interfere, so I will leave it to the General to judge.”

"As Xinan Wang said on that day, I fear that the Northwest will really be in chaos again." Shen Qian Fan sighed with worry.

Duan Bai Yue smiled, and after saying goodbye to him, he left the city and rushed south on horseback.

It took exactly ten days before Duan Yao reacted with hindsight: "Is this the way back Xinan?"

"Of course not." Duan Bai Yue said.

Duan Yao's mouth opened in shock, what do you mean by "Of course not"?

"Who said that this King was going to Xinan?" Duan Bai Yue asked in return.

"You said it yourself!" Duan Yao was furious, he had said it himself a few days ago.

Duan Bai Yue raised his eyebrows without a trace of guilt: "Let's go to Qianye City."

Duan Yao was desperate: "To see your sweetheart?"

Duan Bai Yue spurred his horse on and rolled along at a gallop.

Duan Yao wanted to bawl, ‘You can have a rendezvous, if you want, why can't you let me go back first?’

Inside the Qionghua Valley, Chu Yuan was lying on his bed reading a book when Ye Jin brought in the medicine and then tried to slip away.

"Xiao Jin." Chu Yuan called out to him.

"What do you mean, Xiao Jin? Xiao Jin is what Master called me!" Ye Jin crossed his arms, "I told you to call me the divine doctor." Do you know how to address me with respect?

"Okay, this divine doctor." Chu Yuan looked at him with a smile, "May I have a word with you?"

"You can still laugh." Ye Jin sat down on the edge of the bed, "An emperor, and such a mess."

"If you want to sit on the dragon chair, you have to pay a price." Chu Yuan said, "I don't feel aggrieved."

Of course, you don't feel aggrieved! To have a large group of people eating, living and chatting for free, without paying a penny, and having meat every time!

Ye Jin thought angrily, I should be the one who should be aggrieved.

"I heard from the servant that there are guests coming to the valley tomorrow?" Chu Yuan asked.

"It's Shadow Chasing Palace Master, who happens to be passing by." Ye Jin nibbled on a watery pear and replied casually.

"Qin Shao Yu?" Chu Yuan was a little surprised.

"You actually know someone from Jianghu?" Ye Jin did not expect this.

"I don't know them, but I've heard of them from Qian Fan. They have great martial arts skills and a chivalrous heart, they sound like people who can do great things." Chu Yuan said.

"Don't say that you want him to become an official." Ye Jin reminded, "He won't agree to it."

"Really?" Chu Yuan was a little disappointed, "Nowadays, there are many wars on the northwest border, the imperial court is in need of people, and there are many talents in Jianghu if he is willing to--"

"I don't know about the others, but Qin Shao Yu will definitely not agree." Ye Jin interrupted him and repeated the question again.

Chu Yuan could only sigh.

"When everyone wanted the throne, I thought it was a good job, but it turned out to be so tiring." Ye Jin was puzzled.

Chu Yuan smiled and reached out to straighten his collar for him.

Don't touch it! Ye Jin slapped it away. I told you that we are not too familiar with each other, so how can you move your hands and feet?

"Will someone come to take you out?" After a while, Ye Jin asked again, "Or do you want me to help deliver the letter?"

"I have already sent someone back to Wang Cheng." Chu Yuan said, "It is estimated that someone will come in a few days."

Wang Cheng ...... Ye Jin was tempted to put his hands behind his back and sigh longingly in the courtyard.

It's not like they're going to be staying for a long time.

At the official road, Duan Bai Yue kept on rushing day and night. If it were not for the fact that his horse was a famous horse, the horse would have died of exhaustion.

"In a hurry to get married?" At midnight this day, Duan Yao was irritable.

Duan Bai Yue reminded him, "In three hours, we'll be on the road again." So there wasn't much time to sleep.

Duan Yao lay back down under the tree, feeling worse than death.

If he could be reincarnated in the next life, he would definitely choose a family without a brother.

It was very quiet in the small woods, the group had slept well after days of rushing, but even so, the martial artist's nature was still there. So when they heard a tiny crack of wind, everyone's eyes opened almost at the same moment.

Hundreds of darts flew in thick and fast, glowing blue and nailed to the trees, followed by a net of golden silk, covered with poisoned barbs and sharp spikes. Duan Bai Yue swept them away with a slash and led Duan Yao to safety.

"Xinan Wang." The sound of a silver bell laugh came from deep in the forest, followed by the fluttering of flower petals in the sky. Duan Yao rolled his eyes and asked, "Your affair?" The fragrant smell of the flowers made him smile.

Duan Bai Yue said, "You're wrong, I'm afraid her purpose of this trip is not only me."

"How could it be me?" Duan Yao bristled.

"Has Xinan Wang thought about when you will give me Yiaoer?" A limousine descended from the sky and a beautiful young woman emerged from it.

Duan Yao: "......"

This Aunt, what did you say just now, can you say it again?

"Sect Master Lan." Duan Bai Yue said, "I said that day that Xiao Yao had not learnt the Bodhi Heart Sutra, so I'm afraid that the sect master has found the wrong person."

"I know better than anyone what kind of kung fu he practices." The young woman stepped closer, "Give him to me, and perhaps I can give Xinan Wang a chance to live."

Duan Bai Yue stepped in front of Duan Yao, his eyes becoming stern.
