Chapter 470 Feeling Wronged?
"Yes, Master! It is estimated that there are at least 50,000 troops, but a month ago, the Emperor used the excuse of expanding the hunting grounds to set up their camp in the wasteland west of the city, which is nearly 70 miles away from the capital. Protector Changfeng has analyzed it and believes that he wants to send them away to temporarily relieve the pressure on the capital."
The man in black seemed to have a fairly comprehensive grasp of the information, which must have been provided by Changfeng beforehand.
After these words, Di Beizun and Sikong Jin remained silent for a long while. After a long time, Di Beizun waved his hand calmly, "You can go now. Prepare what you need for tomorrow. We will set off for the Dayong Imperial City first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes, the host!"
At this moment, the man in black respectfully withdrew.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, the faint sound of raindrops falling outside made the entire rainy night seem even more tranquil.
After pondering in silence for a long time, Sikong Jin finally took a deep breath when she heard her stomach rumble with hunger. Her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and she looked up at Di Beizun, who also had an inscrutable expression.
"It seems the situation in the capital is worse than we imagined. If Lord Yukichi's confidants and some officials dissatisfied with Emperor Dayong have been wiped out, then our plan to organize them to fight against Emperor Dayong is probably not going to work. He still has his guards and imperial guards, so it won't be easy for us to take action. Even with the experts from Fengyun Tower, it's impossible to rescue so many people!"
Sikong Jin said in a somewhat heavy tone, a deep melancholy settling in her eyes as she looked at Di Beizun.
Di Beizun naturally knew that the many people Sikong Jin mentioned actually included the people from the Ji family.
They didn't have many men at their disposal. If it were just the experts from Fengyun Tower, they could rescue a few people, but rescuing so many would be difficult. After all, the Imperial Guards under the Great Yong Emperor were not to be underestimated.
"This Great Yong Imperial City originally belonged to Xing Qiyu. It's not easy to eliminate him without paying a price. Let's wait until we arrive in the Great Yong Imperial City, meet Changfeng and the others, and understand the specific situation before making any plans. Let's have some dinner first, get some rest early tonight, and set off early tomorrow. We should arrive in the Great Yong Imperial City the day after tomorrow."
Di Beizun took a sip of tea, then put down his cup and walked over to the table in front of him.
Sikong Jin sighed sadly and nodded, "That's the only way!"
After having dinner, the two rested for a while and then went to bed.
Early the next morning, just as the sky was beginning to darken, Di Beizun and Sikong Jin had already set off in disguise. This time, instead of traveling alone, they disguised themselves as a couple visiting relatives in the capital of Dayong. Along with their subordinates dressed as guards, the group consisted of twenty or thirty people, all dressed in black, clearly the style of a martial arts sect.
Di Beizun and Sikong Jin sat in the carriage, and the group hurried towards the capital of Dayong.
At first, Lady Sikong was naturally unwilling to pretend to be husband and wife with Emperor Beizun, and said she wanted to pretend to be brother and sister. Emperor Beizun gave her a cold look, and she was forced to compromise.
Meanwhile, inside the carriage was Lord Sikong—
She wore a magnificent and noble long pink brocade dress adorned with crane motifs, her beautiful long hair was styled in an updo, and her delicate and pretty face was covered by a veil. Beside her, Emperor Beizun was dressed in snow-white robes with gold embroidery, exuding nobility and magnificence, which made his handsome face appear even more aloof and otherworldly. When Lord Sikong saw him like this, he rushed forward without saying a word and gave him a long French kiss first.
Di Beizun silently let her run wild, saying she was unreserved, but at the same time he was damnably enjoying it to the extreme.
Lord Sikong said he was a hypocrite, feigning arrogance, and when he did something naughty, his subordinates accidentally saw it, so...
He was furious. He didn't say a word to Lord Sikong in the carriage, no matter how much Lord Sikong nagged and teased him. He just wouldn't give him any face.
"What's wrong? Are you still angry?"
Inside the carriage, Lord Sikong, who had been feeling stifled all day, finally couldn't help but look at the indifferent Emperor Beizun beside him and asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing the sound, Di Beizun, who had been silent, slowly raised his head, glanced at her, and then looked away, gazing out the window.
He couldn't muster any power in front of Sikong Jin.
"Alright, don't be angry. It's my fault, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so disrespectful to you, and I shouldn't have called you a hypocrite or a coy person. It's all my fault. I was the one who was hypocritical and coy. I was weak-willed and couldn't control myself when I saw how beautiful Your Majesty was. I was disrespectful to you. But didn't you enjoy it yourself?"
Sikong Jin rolled her eyes and asked, puzzled.
As Sikong Jin finished speaking, Di Beizun's expression darkened slightly. He turned his gaze to her and stared intently. "Ajin, where do you place me in your heart? How do you treat me..."
"I truly love you! You don't need to doubt that, I am very devoted."
As soon as Emperor Beizun finished speaking, Sikong Jin immediately and firmly replied.
"Really? I've never seen you truly care about me, Ajin. You're the first person to make me feel frustrated."
Di Beizun suddenly sighed. How could he put it? The more he looked at her like this, the more he felt that she was ethereal and elusive, impossible for him to grasp. He only wanted to marry her as soon as possible and have a child with her, perhaps that would make her seem more real.
"Care? Bullshit. If I didn't care about you, would I have traveled all the way to Tiansheng to drink with you, practice swordsmanship with you, and sleep with you?"
Lady Sikong raised her eyebrows, looking at him with some displeasure. "Besides you, I haven't touched a single other man."
"Ajin, after we get married, I hope your gaze will linger on me more often. You can ignore the others who are irrelevant."
"You're pursuing hegemony?"
"You, Sikong Jin, are my woman. Your eyes should only be on me. Everything you have belongs to me. What are Xifeng Lie and Tuoba Yu? Why are you helping them?"
Di Beizun's sharp and sarcastic tone suddenly carried a hint of bitterness, and his gaze towards Sikong Jin contained a suppressed anger, even...
Feeling irritable?
Wronged?
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin was immediately taken aback, a sense of vigilance rising in her heart. She raised her delicate eyebrows and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Did those two offend you again?"
Emperor Beizun's face darkened, and after a long while, he said coldly, "Xifeng Lie has already led his troops away from Tiansheng and returned to Da Liao. Tuoba Yu appeared in Luoyang City."
