"What did you say? Wen Shaoyi married a female tyrant?" Gu Chunuan thought she heard wrongly.
"Yes, they should have gotten married a long time ago, but Wen Shaoyi was ill, so the wedding was postponed again and again, and today... Hey... Master, where are you going? Wait a minute, Xiao Jiuer, my roast pig
...You haven't baked it for me yet."
Outside Wanji City, there were loud sounds of battle, shouts, fights, and the sounds of weapons clashing. The smell of blood filled the sky, and broken limbs could be seen everywhere.
The Imperial City was filled with decorations, joy and people, and big red words of joy were hung everywhere, forming a sharp contrast with Wanji City.
The people discussed it privately.
"Now that the war is tense, Lord Xue has already invaded Wanji City, and His Majesty is still thinking about getting married. What's even more depressing is that the money for Your Majesty's wedding will not be taken from the treasury, but will be taxed from us. I make a lot of money in a year.
We don’t have enough money to pay taxes, so the whole family can eat nothing."
"It's just that, look at this array of noodles. The betrothal gifts alone cost more than a dozen streets. None of the previous emperors of our Ice Kingdom had such a grand display."
"Do you think His Majesty gave the entire treasury to Queen Feng as a betrothal gift, so he taxed us for the wedding?" ωωw..net
"Probably not. I heard that Your Majesty asked all officials of the Ice Kingdom, large and small, to donate three treasures, all of which were given to Queen Feng as betrothal gifts. The taxes collected by Your Majesty should be used for the war."
"Although we ask officials to donate, they don't plunder it from us ordinary people. We are the ones who are unlucky after doing it."
"The taxes are so heavy, and His Majesty is still moody and killing innocent people indiscriminately. If this continues, even if we are not killed by her, we will starve to death. I hope that Prince Xue will rush to the imperial capital and overthrow His Majesty. In this way, maybe we can still survive."
There is some hope."
"Shh, do you want your life? You dare to say such things, but be careful of being punished by the Nine Clan."
"Oh my god, what did I say? No one heard me."
Another commoner said disdainfully, "What are you listening to? It's not just you who is talking. Don't everyone think the same way? It's a pity that General Shen is here. If Prince Xue wants to conquer the imperial capital, it will be difficult for him to reach the sky."
"Old General Shen is the patron saint of our Ice Kingdom. As long as he is here, no one can invade our Ice Kingdom. I used to think he was a god-like existence, but now...hey..."
"I heard that Queen Feng is the head of the Wen family. She is very good-looking and has both civil and military skills."
"The head of the Wen family, the head of the four major families? That genius boy who is said to have peak sixth-level strength?"
"But it wasn't him. That man of peerless splendor would never have imagined that he would marry His Majesty. The entire imperial capital, and even the unmarried women in the entire Ice Kingdom, were devastated, hiding their faces and crying."
"No wonder His Majesty spent huge sums of money to marry him. If it were me, I would try my best to marry him back."
"My words are getting more and more outrageous. If many well-intentioned people hear it, all of our heads will have to move."
"Don't say it anymore. It's important to save your life. Who your Majesty marries is none of our business anyway."
Gu Chunuan stood in the alley, and she listened to their conversation one by one.
Gu Chunuan's dark eyes stared closely at the bride-to-be.
Not to mention what kind of betrothal gifts the empress gave, Wen Shaoyi's dowry was really large. I don't know how long it took to carry it to the palace.
Xiao Jiu'er crawled forward twisting and turning, and kept saying hey hey hey gasping sounds.
"Master, master, Wanji City... Wanji City has been destroyed. Prince Xue and Amo are rushing towards the imperial capital."
Gu Chunuan slapped his tongue.
Is Wanji City made of local people?
It broke so quickly?
Maybe there's something wrong with her ears.
"Isn't General Shen in Wanji City? How could it be broken so easily?"
"It's not easy. They have been facing each other in Wanji City for more than a month. Master, do you know who went to Wanji City?"
"Who?" Could it be that Xiao Yuxuan escaped on his own?
"Your sweetheart."
"You know who my sweetheart is again."
"I know, I know, sooner or later it will be him."
Gu Chunuan picked up Xiao Jiuer who was still breathing.
"You like Ye Jinghan so much, then I'll bake you and give it to him."
"Xiao Jiu'er just wants to follow the master. Master, I'm exhausted from running up and down, and I have to help you deliver various messages. Can you give me some sweetness?"
"Okay, how many more pigs will be roasted? Can twenty be okay?"
"Can."
Gu Chunuan agreed so readily that Xiao Jiuer's heart was pounding.
"Master, when you smile, I get goosebumps all over my body."
"Are you hairy?"
"No."
"Where did the goosebumps come from?"
"Xiao Jiuer is just using a metaphor."
"While the imposter is getting married, go to the palace and search carefully to see if there is any trace of Xiao Yuxuan."
"Master, the palace is full of realgar. My good friends don't dare to go in, and Xiao Jiu'er is also scared."
"Aren't you the King of Pythons? Are you still afraid of a mere realgar?"
"It's different. I don't know what's added to those realgars. They're so powerful. I almost got hung up there last time. Otherwise, I'll ask Fire Ox to try again."
"No need, I'm just too anxious. The impostor knows that I know how to control beasts, so how could he let you in so easily. Are all our beasts here?"
"Don't worry, Master, all the high-level and low-level monsters in the world of Warcraft are here. Just wait for the master's order to kill them all."
Leave nothing behind?
Oh……
"I will go to the palace, and you will stay and take charge of the overall situation."
"Master, are you going alone?"
"What if?"
"The female tyrant is too powerful, and the palace is full of her troops. What if..."
"Don't worry, I'm determined to die."
"Xiao Jiu'er is not worried that you will die. Xiao Jiu'er just wants to say, can someone else go? Xiao Jiu'er wants to eat roast pig."
Gu Chunuan's mouth twitched and he said angrily, "Eat, eat, be careful to eat ten heads."
"It would be best if it can grow ten heads. If the Jasper Nine-Headed Python King can reach the human level, he will grow another head."
"…"
"Master, why don't you cash in those two roast pigs first and roast the others slowly? Xiao Jiu'er is starving to death."
Seeing Xiao Jiu'er blocking the road, Gu Chunuan poked its swollen belly rudely, "Your belly is almost like a gong."
"No, it's very deflated. Look, it's acting like an empty city."
"Do it well this time. As long as you can kill the female tyrant, rescue Wen Shaoyi and Xiao Yuxuan, and find their souls, I will roast ten wild boars for you to eat, be good."
Xiao Jiu'er still wanted to pester her, but when she heard that her soul was gone, she could only cheer up and cooperate with Gu Chunuan to get all the souls back.
At the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.
The empress and Wen Shaoyi worshiped heaven together.
