Chapter 66-Heavenly Inspiration Sect (1/2)

Three years and seven months later.

Fanggu City, The capital of Great Yan.

Fanggu city had a strange shape. Most of the cities were square. From the high point of view, Fanggu City looked more like a huge bull head. Two of the walls were crescent moons that extended outward, like horn. The main city was larger in the back, and it was thinner in the front. Such a strange architectural style was unique in this world.

It was said that Fanggu City was the same as the other cities, square and regular. However, the second generation of the Great Yan's emperors , King Yanwen, Mu Yun, who was almost

conquered the sixteen kingdoms of the North, personally design it. It had to be said that the style of construction that had abandoned the concept of beauty was indeed greatly improved for defense. The horns on both sides of the horn could increase the impact on the area of the attack. The two sections of the bull-horn walls could be cut off. Even if they did, there was no point.

As for the city's narrow front and the width of the city, it was because the width of the back city was conducive to the deployment and expansion of the troops. As for the narrow front city, it was difficult to fully deploy the forces of the attackers.

Of course it's all legends, ordinary people don't understand war. Moreover, although Great Yan had a decades-long decline, she didn't appear to be surrounded and besieged by anyone. Ten years ago, after the general Fang Zhiji had rebuilt Iron Flow, Yan army's strength had greatly increased. Although they hadn't been able to recover the prowess of Mu Yun's time, they had no problem protecting the country.

Because there was a super overlord of the Great Xi in the south, all of the surrounding small countries didn't dare to claim to be emperor.

The current King of Yan was the former Third Son of the king, Mu Changyan, who had returned four years earlier.

As for Aunt Ye, who had returned with Mu Changyan, had been trapped in prison for more than three years.

The Imperial City, Empyrean Terminus Palace, was built in the backtown of Fanggu City, only ten miles away from the northern city walls. Thirty kilometers to the north of the city wall was a branch of the Vast Berserker Mountain, which was called Yan Mountain. After rolling over Yan Mountain to the north, there was also the floating land of a large yan … The reason why it was called floating land was because it was controlled by the gra.s.sland nomads. Nominally, it belonged to the Great Yan, but the Great Yan did not have many troops stationed at it.

Yan Mountain was precipitous, and the nomads weren't good at attacking cities. Therefore, with this natural chasm, the Great Yan didn't care much about the nomadic people in the northern region.

The imperial palace.

Mu Changyan sat in a chair in a daze. In recent years, he had grown increasingly stupefied. The pile of papers on the table in front of him was already two feet high, but he didn't want to look. All he could think about was the woman, the woman he could not even see in the cell.

Ye Yun!

Mu Changyan muttered to himself, ””I'm useless. I let you suffer after returning to the Great Yan. Be at ease, I will save you for a period of time by myself. ””

At this moment, the young eunuch, An Chengli, quickly ran in. ””Her Majesty is here.””

Mu Changyan's face changed and he quickly stood up. He quickly walked to the door and waited. When the beautiful woman appeared, his waist bent even lower. ””Mother.””

Su Qingnuan, the empress dowager, was only thirty-nine years old, and if it hadn't been for her own son's illness, Mu Changyan would not been able to return to the throne. And the reason she chose Mu Changyan was because Su Qingnuan was very clear about Mu Changyan's personality. He looked crazy, but he was cowardly. Besides, Mu Changyan didn't have any opinions. He would often be influenced by others' opinions.

This kind of person was the most suitable for becoming a puppet.

It turned out that her eyesight was indeed formidable. The most courageous thing Mu Changyan had done in his life was to protect Ye Yun and went to the Illusionary City. When he returned, he lost all of her courage at the moment he saw Su Qingnuan.

””Stand up.””

Su Qingnuan's warm voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e, not a pleasant gentle female voice. But it did not affect her beauty, it was a very cold, dignified, graceful beauty. She was originally a princess of Zhao, married to the King of Yan. After the death of the King, the power was always in her hands.

Su Qingnuan maintained a nice body. She wasn't even forty, you couldn't find any fat on her body. There were no wrinkles on her face, just the marks of age in the corners of her eyes.

She quickly walked into the East Warmouth Pavilion. The two maids behind her ran and followed behind her. When she turned, the two little ladies immediately knelt down to straighten the long clothes.

Empress Dowager Su sat down in her chair and glanced at the pile of pages on the table. Her face was even more unfriendly.

””You are the king of Great Yan, and you are the king of all living beings.””

Empress Dowager Su slapped her hand on the table with a loud slap. ””But look at your current appearance!””

Mu Changyan raised his head and didn't say anything. He knew that he had lost the day he came back, been completely and utterly defeated. On the way back, he had designed ten thousand ways to protect his beloved. He even thought that if the empress dowager pressed him too hard, he would fight back, and he would truly resist. He would rather not have a throne than let Ye Yun suffer.

However, when he returned to Fanggu City, he knew that he had lost the moment he saw her eyes.

””What, not even an explanation?””

The Empress Dowager asked.

Mu Changyan lowered his head, ””It's my fault, I will pay more attention in the future, and I will never dare to waste my government office. ””

””I know what you're thinking,”” Empress Dowager Su said coldly, ””you wanted to kill me. But the thing you're thinking of, unless I die, it's impossible. I've already done everything to her. I didn't kill her for me, only imprisoned her … If it wasn't for the sake of the imperial family, for the sake of you, the King of Yan's face, this woman has been dead a hundred times. ””

””That woman is not your woman. She is a woman of the former Crown Prince!””

Mu Changyan abruptly raised his head, ””I know that she loves my Brother in her heart. But …””

””No But!””
