Chapter 197 Darong Ka and the Empress’ Erotic Deal [2]

Darong Ka’s loyalty towards Taizi was based on Taizi becoming Emperor in the future and naming him a protector of the country. Then he would be below one man, but above tens of thousands of people.

Otherwise, he wasn’t stupid, so why would he give up his high position in Nanjiang to be a coward hiding in Taizi’s fu all day in the capital and afraid to come out?

When he had first seen the Empress, she had been wearing a red inlaid gold edged brocade coat embroidered with purple flowers and birds, a golden embroidered phoenix top, a garnet embroidered dress, and a set of gold ruby phoenix accessories. She was as elegant and luxurious as a blooming peony. He had fallen in love at first sight.

Compare the women whom he had met before to this noblest woman in Great Yan was simply like comparing mud and clouds.

A thirty-nine-year-old woman was as beautiful as a twenty-year-old woman in his Miao clan. Her maturity contained a girl’s charm and made his heart race.

Of course he had tried his best to cure her migraines. He not only cured her migraines, but he also made her heart turn from a stagnant pool of water to being vivid and lively.

During his third treatment, while he was massaging her Shenyue acupuncture point, he had said, “Empress, let Nucai serve you. You will experience heaven and not feel that you have wasted this life.”

The Empress wasn’t reserved like before and had soon turned around to hug him.

That time, he had made it unforgettable for the Empress and she had made him overjoyed.

He was not just a shaman. He also had the ability of seduction. Of course he knew how to make a woman experience heavenly pleasures and be unable to leave him for a lifetime.

Otherwise, with his appearance, how else could he mix in the circles of Nanjiang’s high society? Other than his extraordinary medical skills and witchcraft, of course it was because of his seduction ability.

He not only knew how lonely these high society women were, but he also knew how lustful these so-called dignified women were. They needed someone to comfort their hearts and bodies.

Just look at this dignified-looking Empress of the West She Fengrong and you would understand.

On that day, it was still broad daylight. On that day, he made her cry out for death six times. She had kept shouting that she wanted him. “Ah…… Don’t stop…… I want it…… Ah…… You’re going to kill me……”

When the clouds scattered, the Empress had hugged him tightly when he was about to leave. She had said reluctantly, “You’re too good. I don’t want you to leave. Why don’t you come and serve me?”

“No.” He had refused at the time. Playing hard to get wasn’t only used by women on men, but it was also used by men on women. Only if you give it to her when she was hungry and anxious would she never forget you.

But if She Fengrong couldn’t forget him, the how could he forget the noble Great Yan’s Empress? He had even finally given her the Devil Ring. That was to allow her to conveniently summon him.

Thinking about the Devil Ring, Darong Ka’s small eyes narrowed into slits. If the Devil Ring was here, he could summon all the gus. Their power could at least fight against this mysterious expert for a while.

But now…… It was really hard to say. He might not be able to escape today.

If he knew that this day would come, he wouldn’t have left the Devil Ring with the Empress and would have brought it here. Wouldn’t playing with Mu Junyuan and Mu YingYi easy for him then? But who would have thought that it would be like this now……

Darong Ka’s worries became reality very quickly. It was so quick that he couldn’t even imagine it. Old General Mu’s army actually gave up the chance to pacify the rebellion in the mountains and instead attacked the Nanzhao government in Dali County.

And they had only used one day to occupy Dali, capture the King Ge Luofeng, and forced him to sign a treaty to transform Nanjiang into a county of Great Yan.

Moreover, he had even agreed to having Great Yan troops stationed in Nanjiang.

What ruling together? Nanzhao King was obviously just a puppet.

Tribe leader Guoji Weijia was anxious. He said to Darong Ka, “What are we going to do? Shall we take men to attack Dali? We can’t let Nanjiang fall into Great Yan’s hands.”

Darong Ka was obviously calmer than he was. He shook his head and said, “This is definitely not what Great Yan’s Emperor wants. Old man Mu must be doing this in secret to take revenge on me for leading them into the swamps. Don’t worry. I will send a letter to Xuanwu Emperor immediately.”

But if he could think of sending a letter, how could Zi You and Shangguan LingRan not think of it? All the roads from Nanjiang to Great Yan were monitored. Even those rugged mountain paths weren’t an exception. Nanjiang and Great Yan were isolated from each other. Even a fly couldn’t fly through.

The roads from Nanjiang to Great Yan were completely blocked. One couldn’t enter or leave.

Darong Ka waited eagerly for the Empress’ letter. But before the letter came, the counterinsurgency army came.

Zi You thought that Darong Ka would emerge anxiously from the mountains to seek revenge after he heard about the fall of the Nanzhao government and the occupation of Dali.

But she didn’t expect that he was a coward and would refuse to come out. She caught a tribesman who went to Dali for business. She told him to bring a message back to the mountains: “Tell the leader of your rebel tribe and great shaman Darong Ka: Do they think that because they are cowards who hide in the mountains and jungles and won’t come out, I won’t be able to do anything to them? Wait for me. I will take care of them sooner or later. I sacrifice their heads to our dead soldiers.”

Zi You’s scolding stunned Old General Mu, Shangguan LingRan, and some senior generals.

The senior generals of the Mu army now hated the Emperor to death. Although a subject should die when the Emperor commands it, at least he needed a reason. Now, not only would they die for no reason, but they would die in a foreign country.

A death like this was too abhorrent.

So, when they heard Zi You say, “We cannot catch that guide Darong Ka, so we cannot accuse the Emperor. But this Darong Ka is indeed Taizi’s advisor. That is absolutely confirmed. This has to have something to do with Taizi.”

The soldiers had immediately turned angry. “How can such a Taizi be a country’s monarch? He wants to kill us like this for no reason? What did we do to him?”

“If Great Yan falls into the hands of such a fatuous ruler, would we still survive? Let’s overthrow them.”

“Let’s send a memorial to the Emperor to abolish Taizi when we return.”

“This is what the Emperor wanted. If it’s really the Emperor who wants our lives, we cannot be obstinate about it.”

“……”

All of the soldiers were enraged. They hated that they couldn’t immediately capture Darong Ka and ask him who wanted to harm them.

Zi You looked at how spirited the soldiers were. She immediately went to her grandfather, uncle, Shangguan LingRan, and the senior generals to discuss going into the mountains to pacify the rebellion.

Finally, Old General Mu and second-rank General Zhang Ziheng, Zhang Wei’s father, led more than 32,000 people to occupy Dali.

Zi You, Shangguan LingRan, and Mu YingYi brought only 2,000 soldiers to pacify the rebellion in the mountains.

When Zi You had suggested bringing only 2,000 soldiers, other than Shangguan LingRan, everyone else looked stunned at Zi You and shook their heads in disagreement.

Old General Mu had said, “I know how cunning and vicious the tribesmen are. We aren’t familiar with the terrain and they rely on their knowledge of the geography to often attack us by surprise. They use vile and despicable means and that’s not the same as sword-fighting on a battlefield.”

Shangguan LingRan shook his head and said, “We want soldiers with quality and not numbers. If there’s more people, YouYou and I can’t take care of them.”

Shangguan LingRan’s current identity was an expert who didn’t reveal his name and did not expose his true identity.

Zi You’s thoughts coincided with him. He and Zi You’s current martial arts and cultivations were sufficient to deal with an army of more than 100,000 soldiers.

They took into account the fact that they didn’t know where the tribesmen were hiding and scattered. After they pacified them, they had to have someone there to occupy the territory. So, Zi You and Shangguan LingRan decided to only take 2,000 people into the mountains.

Besides, Zi You’s spiritual Qi flowed around the 2,000 people, so that the tribesmen couldn’t hurt them.

With more people, she would have to use more spiritual power and she would have less spiritual power to fight the enemy.

Zi You, Shangguan LingRan, and Mu YingYi then brought an army of 2,000 soldiers to quietly sneak into the mountains.

During these past two days, Zi You and Shangguan LingRan had already flown over the mountain and found the largest tribe involved in the rebellion: Yuesong. They had sent Weishali and Xiaobai to monitor them.

Weishali didn’t let them down and soon reported, “Master, I found Darong Ka. He’s hiding in Yuesong tribe leader’s Guoji Weiza’s house.”

Zi You immediately smiled confidently and proudly at Shangguan LingRan. “Weishali really found Darong Ka. He’s hiding in the Yuesong tribe.”

Mu YingYi heard this and pulled out his Qinghong Sword and fiercely waved it. A large camphor tree outside the tent immediately split open.

He shouted, “I will cut off that animal’s head to offer it in sacrifice to the dead 4,352 soldiers.”

4,412 people were originally dead. Because sixty people still had cells that were alive, they were revived by Zi You’s spiritual power.

But there would always be 4,352 soldiers who left them forever. Almost all of them were from the 20,000 people whom Mu YingYi had led.

This was a very painful blow to Mu YingYi, a great shame, and also an eternal pain in his heart.

So, at this moment, he hated that he couldn’t slice Darong Ka with a thousand cuts to sacrifice him to the dead soldiers.

Zi You saw that his eyes were red and her heart was extremely painful too. Four members also died from her female medical team. Two were thirteen years old and one was fourteen years old. They were young girls in budding maidenhood, but they were engulfed by the swamps and pythons.

This debt not only had to be settled with Darong Ka, but also with Taizi, the Empress, and of course, the Emperor. Whether the Emperor knew about Taizi and the Empress’ conspiracy, he still had to pay for his negligence.

If the Emperor knew of this matter, then she couldn’t let him off. If the soldiers died at the hands of the rebel army, they wouldn’t feel that it was unjust. But they didn’t even see one rebel before they lost their lives. Everyone felt that it was difficult to swallow this injustice.

Feiyun, Lightning, and Weishali led the way. Zi You and the others soon passed through the mountains and jungles and arrived at the Yuesong tribe’s fortress.

Weishali told Zi You, “Darong Ka already knows that you will come here, Master. He laid out the Black Wind Magic Array around the fortress. Be careful, Master.”

Zi You immediately told the soldiers secretly, “Groups of four spread out in four directions. Move slowly. Pay attention to the trees and the ground.”

She then moved forward. After less than a quarter of an hour, Zi You waved her hand. She warned, “Be careful. We’re surrounded.”

Poisoned arrows immediately shot towards them.

Zi You waved. The arrows immediately turned around and shot in the opposite direction. A lot of miserable screams soon sounded.

Shangguan LingRan immediately concentrated his spiritual power in his palm. A red cloud emerged from his palm. He waved and the red light moved. The bushes where the screams came from soon caught on fire and started burning.

When the bushes burned, the enemies could no longer hide. They immediately exposed themselves as targets.

Mu YingYi led hundreds of archers to wildly shoot. Their enemies were shot by the arrows.

In their first confrontation, the Mu army was victorious. The soldiers’ morale rose. For the first time since they came to Nanjiang a month ago, their frustrations finally dissipated.

But before the soldiers were done being excited, Zi You heard rustling, hissing, and buzzing sounds.

She immediately warned again. “Be careful everyone. Poisonous bees and creatures are coming over. I’ll cover you with my spiritual power.”

She and Shangguan LingRan exchanged glances. They immediately flew into the air.

Shangguan LingRan looked closely at their surroundings. Zi You focused her spiritual power in her palms and formed a dome to surround the soldiers.

Two ocean blue and purple lights rapidly expanded. They formed a beautiful big ball of light and enveloped the 2,000 soldiers inside.
