Chapter 117 Persecution (2/2)

Now people complained a lot for their bitterness. In the imperial palace, there were also ministers who took the opportunities to oppose Chu Tiankuo and made problems secretly. It could also be said that Chu Tiankuo was arduous to cope with these. Even so, he still didn't compromise.

When Chu Tiankuo was watching the memorials in the study room, he was distressed to look at all the contents regarding Yue Ji. Although he didn't care about them, it was very annoying that so many flies were noisy around his ears.

He just put down the pen, then suddenly someone came to report.

He frowned, ”What happened? Why are you so panicked?”

The slave kowtowed directly. ”The emperor, the army of Nanmen Country has already arrived at the gate of the Seventh City. I heard that the army is unstoppable. And, and Nanmen Yi will lead the army personally!”

”He is really not afraid of death.” Chu Tiankuo slightly twitched his lips and looked at the boundless sky outside. It seemed that he had foreseen the pervasive gunpowder smoke of the war. It was another turbulent dynasty.

”Pass my order. I will also lead the army personally. I will fight with Nanmen Yi personally.” Waving with a weasel hair brush, the feeling of aggressiveness appeared immediately.

The high tower was cold, and the cold wind was blowing. Under the gate tower were over 100 thousand soldiers of Nanmen Country. And across the city, there were more than ten million people.

Chu Tiankuo stood on the high tower in the wind, and the wind blew the red belt on his armor. There was a cold light on his silver armor.

Seeing Chu Tiankuo come out, Nanmen Yi showed a look of sarcasm. ”In this situation, did he still dare to come out?”

”Chu Tiankuo, as long as you give me Xiaxia, I can let your people live. Then you will not be regarded as an eternal sinner when you are defeated.”

The soldiers of Nanmen Country had already started to kick up a fuss. ”Give the beauty to our emperor, and we will leave you half a life.”

”Hahaha, yeah, the beauty is of course to match the hero. Acting like a coward? What the fuck?”

Chu Tiankuo's eyes were still calm. Now the troops of Nanmen Country is here, if he unleashed his troops, it would only make them die. The people in this city were weak, so there would be a bloodbath if he opened the gate.

He had to refrain for the people and defeat Nanmen Country with the most impeccable strategy. What he was responsible for was not only his own safety, but also the survival of the whole country, and the woman he loved in his heart.

Chu Tiankuo waved his hand and said word by word, ”This gate must be unbreakable. All the soldiers will be alive or dead with it.”

”Yes!” The soldiers made a neat sound.

At this time, the palace was a mess. Hearing the news that the army of Nanmen Country was at the gate, they all fled in all directions.

After all, life was always more important than great power or position.

People in different positions were no different. A humble wood-cutter still could rob with the eunuch chief for a beautifully carved small kiln.

In order to face the war, the maids and embroidered women had already hidden their private money and valuable jewelry early, which were preserved for a long time.

Nanmen Yi led more than 100,000 troops to invade. Hearing the news, Tang Xia couldn't sit still. She was worried about Chu Tiankuo, but the child in her belly could not stand the bumps. She called the secret guard, who was sent by Chu Tiankuo to protect her, and told him, ”Take me to the palace. I will see Chu Tiankuo.”

These secret guards hesitated. At this extraordinary time, the palace was too dangerous. Since Chu Tiankuo placed her out, he was naturally worried about her safety. Now she wanted to go to the palace, so she would get close to a dangerous place.

”What? Are you unwilling?” Tang Xia was anxious, so she pretended to be angry, and her face suddenly became serious, ”If you refuse, I will go there by myself. The emperor will not forgive you if something happens.”

Saying this, Tang Xia raised her skirt. She used one hand to protect the belly and walked towards the door.

”Your Grace! Wait!” A secret guard called Tang Xia hurriedly.

”What?”

There was still no expression on the secret guard's face. ”I know that there is a secret road to the palace. But it is a little far for Your Grace and the little prince, so please stand it.”

Tang Xia smiled. The secret road was much safer than the road outside. She touched the child in her belly, and she didn't know how Chu Tiankuo was now. ”Child, don't be afraid, you would see your father soon.”

The secret road was a little dark, but several secret guards scattered around to protect Tang Xia. They protected her safely.

After a long time, she slowly came up and looked at the imperial palace which was in chaos, and sighed for a moment.

It turned out that all the prosperity was so easy to disappear. The solemnity of the Royal Family had become a memory. But she did not believe in destiny. She must help Chu Tiankuo to win this world.

She didn't know what to do after falling in love with someone. But what she would do was to try her best to help him get and guard what he wanted.

And the man was facing this scene in front of her. Tang Xia's hand held his with fingers crossed gently.

Chu Tiankuo turned around suddenly. Tang Xia smiled slightly with her absolute beauty.

”It's me, Yue Ji.”
