Chapter 6 Want a Chicken?
osheng's lack of reaction, Zhang Liyang paused slightly before continuing, "Don't worry, those fifty soldiers didn't protect their general well. I've already had Yuan Squad Leader punish them."As for...Beyond the walls of Yuqing Palace, a transformation is taking place quietly, like a caterpillar inching towards becoming a butterfly.
In the heart of Yuqing Palace, a single candle flame flickered, burning down to its very end. Finally, it transformed into wisps of blue smoke and vanished into the world.
"Mother~"
Heart-wrenching cries came from Yuqing Palace, causing every maidservant and eunuch to tremble with fear. They then quietly withdrew.
Also, there was an eunuch who had already dashed out of the Yuanqing Palace and toward the distant direction. That direction was precisely the sleeping quarters of Emperor Dagan.
Zhang Liyang also heard the cries and rushed in from outside.
At a glance, one could see that all the imperial physicians were kneeling by the bedside now, their graying hair forming a line like a white frost spreading from the edge of the bed.
While Princess Huailing was lying by the bed, her hands clasped tightly a pale and thin hand, crying incessantly.
“Empress Yuan, she's passed away!”
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liyang immediately understood that Empress Yuan had finally succumbed and passed away.
Looking at Princess Huacheng weeping incessantly by the bedside, Zhang Liyang's heart ached as well. The joy he had felt upon entering the martial arts path vanished completely.
"Your Highness, my condolences!"
Zhang Liyang reached out and gently patted Hua Qing Princess's shoulder in comfort. However, after just one pat, Zhang Liyang's hand stiffened in place, and even he himself now showed a trace of disbelief and shock.
"The Way of Heaven is vast, the Way of humanity is boundless, all beings begin with strife and end with strife."
"Ding, the system announces its ultimate mission: The Empress's Cultivation!"
"Given the host's experience, the system automatically binds the female emperor candidate, Mu Yinghua!"
"Complete the standard, rule over mountains and seas!"
"Reward, chicken!"
Boom boom boom!
When Zhang Liyang repeatedly confirmed that he had not heard wrong nor seen wrong, he only felt that wave after wave of thunder exploded in his brain, making him dizzy and dazed!
What is the Empress
That is a title only he who sits upon the golden throne of dragons can claim as Emperor!
However, the system's standard is better than this, that is the last sentence, "Unify Mountains and Seas!"
The world of Shan Hai (山海界) is the spacetime where Zhang Li Yang resides!
At this time and space, there were a total of three countries. Besides the Great Qian Dynasty, there was also the Great Yuan Dynasty and the Great Ming Dynasty.
And the forces interspersed among the three dynasties were even more numerous than stars in the sky.
When Zhang Liyang saw the words "One Unified Mountain and Sea," he really felt like he had been hit in the head.
Especially when he saw her looking up at him after his shoulder tap, revealing a face of delicate sorrow, Zhang Liyang truly felt that it would be more refreshing to just give himself a cut.
Although this is a world of martial arts, male supremacy still exists. To cultivate an Empress in such an environment is more difficult than reaching the heavens!
But Zhang Liyang had to do it anyway, because the system's rewards made it impossible for him to refuse.
"Your Majesty has arrived~"
The death of Consort Yuan caused the Great Han Emperor to rush to Yuqing Palace. However, the Great Han Emperor's face was now ashen, clearly revealing a fury that burned within him.
"Trash!" When Emperor Dagan walked into the inner room and saw a row of kneeling imperial physicians, he immediately roared in anger, "Get out of my sight!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the imperial physician's heart instantly felt relieved. He had saved a life.
The imperial physician withdrew, and Emperor Daqian stood beside the bed, looking at the lifeless Empress Yuan. The broad sleeve of his robe couldn't conceal the tight fist he clenched in his palm.
"Where is Lu Tongxuan"
A voice as cold as the winter wind emanated from the mouth of Emperor Dagan, instantly plunging the warm room into a state akin to the depths of winter. A chilling sensation ran through everyone present!
Lu Tongxuan, who had already received word of the Emperor's summons, was already present. Upon hearing the call from the Great Qan Emperor, he hurried into the inner chamber and bowed, "I greet Your Majesty!"
"I heard you caught the murderer," Emperor Daguan lowered his eyes, looking at Lu Tongxuan beneath him as a dragon overlooks an ant, "Where is he"
"Your Majesty, the person has already committed suicide out of fear of retribution."
"Commit suicide out of fear of crime" Emperor Dagan snorted coldly, "Could someone actually commit suicide out of fear of crime under your very nose"
The cold snort of Emperor Daqian was like a heavy hammer, smashing straight into Lu Tongxuan's heart.
In fact, Lu Tongxuan himself was puzzled. When he saw the murderer, his first instinct was to rush forward, with the aim of preventing him from jumping off a cliff in desperation.
An adept cultivator who had mastered the four to five realms, Lu Tongxuan should have been able to easily capture him. However, he was surprisingly off his game at this moment.
As Lu Tongxuan watched the eunuch's body engulfed in bloody flames, turning to ashes in an instant, he knew his trouble had just begun!
Whether the mastermind is found or not, Lu Tongxuan's trouble has just begun!
Being able to force a cultivator of the fourth or fifth realm to commit suicide in front of him, the power behind this person must be extraordinary. What's more, this time it involves the death of the imperial concubine, and the struggle behind it leaves Lu Tongxuan full of speculation.
"He was probably unable to speak about this, so in the face of Emperor Taigang's questioning, Lu Tongxuan chose silence."
"Hmph, think you can't be punished just because you don't speak"
Seeing the silent Lu Tongxuan, Emperor Dagyan's anger flared even hotter. He kicked Lu Tongxuan to the ground with a single foot, "You yourself relinquished the post of Generalissimo of the Imperial Army, demoted to one rank, and return home in seclusion for reflection!"
"Your Majesty, I thank you!"
In the official arena, as long as one foot isn't stepped into the mud, as long as one isn't dead, there's a chance.
Moreover, Lu Tongxuan is only stripped of his post as Grand Marshal of the Imperial Army and demoted by one rank. As a third-rank official, he remains a significant figure in the court!
What's more, Lu Tongxuan felt that he could dodge a storm, and was even more delighted in his heart.
Seeing Lu Tongxuan leave, the Daqian Emperor finally looked back at Empress Yuan on the bed, a pang of pain flashing in his eyes.
After a long while, Emperor Dagan finally left. As he departed, however, he uttered a single sentence: "Bury the Great Qian Dynasty at Fengxu!"
The Great Qian Mausoleum, only the emperors of the Great Qian Dynasty can be buried there, while the Feng穴 is only reserved for empresses.
Although the Empress Yuan died, this could be considered a way of posthumously elevating her to the position of Empress. It is also a form of honoring her even after death!
"Thank you, Father!"
Hearing the words of Emperor Dagan, Princess Huacheng bowed respectfully.
As for Zhang Liyang, who has always been a transparent person, he is still feeling pain about the system's tasks.
"Oh No, that's wrong. I'm a eunuch, I shouldn't feel pain."
"Um..."
One is the ultimate mission of the system, and the other is the fact that he is a eunuch. Under this double blow, even Zhang Liyang couldn't help but feel grief from his heart, his eyes instantly turning red.
With the departure of Emperor Daqian, rows upon rows of palace maids and eunuchs who had been prepared for a long time surged into Yuqing Palace. Almost in an instant, white flags fluttered throughout Yuqing Palace, and plain robes rippled like a tide.
The Empress Dowager's, no, the late Empress's funeral was a major event, a momentous occasion for the entire Great Yan Dynasty. That day at court, Emperor Great Yan issued an order to suspend court for three days, and all civil and military officials attended the mourning for the Empress Dowager. empress emerge, but also a god, a living deity!As soon as Zhang Liyang thought of this, he couldn't help himself and started asking Mu Yinghua to try practicing it."Can I really cultivate"Mu Yinghua'...
