Chapter 388: The Beginning of the Confrontation
A strong wind blew into the dormitory of Cining Palace, blowing the lights and curtains in the dormitory to sway, and the Empress Dowager opened her slightly closed eyes and suddenly found that there was one more person in front of the bed.
She was about to scream when the man grabbed her by the neck and couldn't speak.
"Don't move, don't want to die, just be quiet for me."
"Who the hell are you? What do you want to do? The Empress Dowager said tremblingly.
"A woman of hard work." The other party replied, paused, and glanced at her panicked face, "I don't want your life, you don't have to be afraid." β
The woman's answer made the Empress Dowager a little stunned, but the other party said that she would not kill her, and her heart suddenly settled down a lot, "That'...... So what are you going to do? β
"I'm just here to show you something." The woman said.
"What do you see?" Empress Dowager Shu was quite puzzled, "What is it?" β
The woman then took a painting from her sleeve and unfolded it, which was a little crumpled.
The person in the painting is a woman, with an elegant demeanor and eyes that are looking forward to flying.
Empress Dowager Shu's eyes froze suddenly, with an incredible look on her face, "Why is she ......?"
Fifteen years later, she thought she would never see the person in the painting again, and her eyes shrank back with some fear.
Sensing that her expression was a little abnormal, the Empress Dowager raised her eyes and looked directly at the woman in front of her who was dressed in a night robe and covered with a black veil, wanting to find out what this person was having.
"She, you should know her, don't you?" The woman sneered, "Your mistress, good sister, Princess Nian Yao." β
"What exactly is your purpose?" She asked nervously.
"She is Shi Yijian's favorite woman." The woman's mood fluctuated a little, revealing sadness and grievance, "Shi Yijian has been carrying this painting with me for so many years. β
She hid in Yandu for many days and discovered Shi Yijian's whereabouts of leaving the palace, so she sneaked into the palace and accidentally found this painting in his room.
"But so what, she's been dead for years." Empress Dowager Shu sneered, "In the end, the only person who accompanied him was me." β
Her gaze wandered over the woman's veiled face for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curled contemptuously, "And you, I guess, are Nan Piaoaway, right?" β
The woman's eyes flashed with surprise, and she didn't deny it, "Yes, I'm Nan Piaoli." β
"You are the ugly woman who was abandoned by Shi Yijian?" The Empress Dowager snorted lightly.
"I disfigured him for him, he was unkind, and my life was ruined by him." Nan Piaoli was ridiculed, but he was not annoyed, and sighed.
Then, she let out two low laughs, "It's you, who have been deceived all over and down, and still fantasize about staying with him, you are too naΓ―ve." Shi Yijian is just using you, just like he used me at the beginning, only using you as a stepping stone for him to take revenge and climb to the pinnacle of power, don't be self-sufficient. β
Mrs. Shu's face flashed, and she didn't make a sound in doubt.
Nan Piaoli continued: "He doesn't just want the Tianyan Dynasty, he wants to dominate the entire Tianyan Continent, how can he stop his ambition to dominate because you hate a woman he doesn't love?" And you are so stupid as to deal with your own son for him, how stupid! β
"You ......" Empress Dowager Shu said angrily: "You are presumptuous, my son is also his son, if it weren't for Jun'er's repeated coercion, we wouldn't have confined him." β
"I'm just kindly reminding you, or you'll be a second me." Nan Piaoli smiled self-deprecatingly, and took off the veil on his face, revealing a face full of poisonous scars that had been old for a long time.
"Your face ......" Empress Dowager Shu quickly looked away, this face made her disgusting.
"My face is to refine poison for Shi Yijian, day and night, and over time, the poisonous gas has been deposited into the body, so that it has become like this, not only my face, but also my body is full of poisonous sores." Nan Piaoli paused, looked at the face of the Empress Dowager Zhao Shu with disgust, and continued, "I did not hesitate to ruin my face for him, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, but in the end, he was not half grateful, but turned his face and ruthlessly abandoned me, at that time, my Yu'er was only five years old, I cried and begged him, not to let me go, let me stay and take care of Yu'er, but he ruthlessly kicked me out. β
She had a sad smile on her face, "It took me fifteen years to cure the poison on my body, and I thought of taking my Yu'er away, but I didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, my Yu'er...... He didn't even let go of his own daughter, and I waited for fifteen years, but the heavens and men were separated forever......"
The Empress Dowager Shu was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
Nan Piaoli retracted his sad thoughts, and his tone turned indifferent, "Yan Yujun is your biological son, and he is also Shi Yijian's biological son, but Shi Yijian is ambitious and ruthless, and in his eyes, the affection of his children is just a tool that can be used." My Yu'er has nothing to do with him, he still doesn't miss the relationship between father and daughter, your son Yan Yujun wants to be the emperor of Tianyan and opposes him everywhere, how can he let him go? β
Mrs. Shu's back was pale, her eyes were like dead ashes, and she leaned against the head of the bed in a gloomy manner.
Nan Piaoli said lightly: "I believe what I said is very clear, if you are smart enough, now take the opportunity of Shi Yijian to leave Yandu, and know what to do, right?" β
β¦β¦
In the Longtan Inn in Qingdai City, Zuo Rakshasa came in to report.
"The Regent, after three days and three nights of searching, his subordinates finally found a grain convoy that was destined for the western suburbs. Through interrogation, their grain was transported to a place called Shenzhuang, and their subordinates attacked Shenzhuang at night, arrested a number of people, and learned from them that the grain was transported to the Xiaoyao Forest. The subordinates guessed that the Xiaoyao Forest must be the lair of the Feng Sect, but because the mist and miasma in the forest were shrouded, the subordinates were thin, and they did not go in to inspect it. β
Shi Yijian raised his eyes slightly, "Your guess is right, the people of the Wind Sect are hiding in that carefree forest." β
"The master already knows?" Left Rakshasa was surprised.
"The Loose Forest is a misty jungle within a radius of thirty miles, and it is adjacent to the Luoyan Valley, these two places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they are strategic places for soldiers. When the king checked the map yesterday, he had noticed that these two places were unusual, and later asked people to inquire about the transportation of grain and materials in the city, and found that just three months ago, the business of rice shops in many places in the city suddenly increased, and a large number of grain and materials were transported in the direction of the western suburbs, and the direction of the western suburbs was the direction leading to Xiaoyaolin, so there was this speculation. What you said just now confirms the king's suspicion. β
"The master is wise." The Left Rakshasa is not without admiration.
"In three days' time, we will attack the Loose Forest." Shi Yijian glanced at him, "You go and prepare." β
At this time, in the free forest, Zhu Rongyu learned the news of the destruction of Shenzhuang, and knew that Shi Yijian had learned where they were, and a big war was about to happen.
When the news reached the ears of everyone in the Wind Sect, they were in high spirits and had high morale, and in the past few days, they had been deploying and training day and night, and they were bound to fight with Shi Yijian.
On the fourth day, the weather became gloomy, although it was April, and it had entered summer, but these days there was a whistling north wind, the temperature plummeted, and it rained hail, and the people who had no time to hide were dizzy and looked around for a place to hide.
"What the hell is this weather!" Left Rakshasa cursed.
At this time, they were almost close to the boundary of Xiaoyao Forest, Shi Yijian sat in a golden dragon body with a golden dragon umbrella hanging on the open roof, although he didn't have to suffer from the hail hitting his head, the big umbrella was shaken by the wind, which made him upset.
"But it's time for the Loose Forest?" Shi Yijian asked.
"Regent, it's just ahead." The green robe leaned closer.
"Green robe, today this king wants to personally verify the power of your blood dragon, and you must not disappoint this king." Shi Yijian smiled.
"The regent just rest assured, his subordinates will kill Fengzong to death."
In the Xiaoyao Forest, the people of the Feng Sect who had already stood guard on the high platform saw Shi Yijian coming over with a large group of people, and immediately reported to Zhu Rongyu and others.
"Notify everyone that it's going as planned." Zhu Rongyu commanded in a deep voice.
Shi Yijian and the others entered the entrance of the Xiaoyao Forest.
The green robe looked at the mountain forest shrouded in mist, only a gray mountain forest remained, the wind was whining, the trees were roaring, and there seemed to be countless swords, guns, swords and halberds in the air, his brows sank, and he said to Shi Yijian: "There is a formation in this forest, it is very weird, we must be careful." β
"Then Venerable Lao broke the formation, so as not to be caught by their plots." History is a lesson learned.
The green robe agreed, and then did it.
I saw that he had words in his mouth, bit his fingers, and splashed the blood, and bursts of blood-colored mist spread around the forest, and it didn't take long to see that the wind had stopped, and the trees had stopped shaking, and there was nothing strange except for the fog.
"Green robe, this array is broken, but we don't know how many hidden weapons there are in it, this lead will be handed over to you and your blood dragon." History is a lesson learned.
"Subordinates receive orders." As he spoke, the green robe took out the dragon's blood stone, recited the spell, and the dragon's bloodstone rose into the air, forming a thick blood wall not long after, and a blood dragon gradually appeared from the blood wall, and its body continued to grow larger, and finally turned into a behemoth more than thirty meters long, flying towards the sky above the free forest.
The people of the Wind Sect, who were lurking among the leaves and trees, looked up and saw a blood-colored behemoth roaring and rushing towards the sky.
"It's not good, it's the blood dragon that has attacked."
They hurriedly came to report, and Zhu Rongyu instructed everyone, "Everyone be careful to cover yourself and act according to the plan." β
The blood dragon swooped straight into the forest, looking left and right to find no figure, the huge body tossed for a while, but still found nothing, many trees were broken by him, and the ground was a mess.
It gradually lost its patience, and bombarded the surrounding trees, spilling out its resentment, the trees were uprooted, lying crookedly on the ground, and the forest soon became empty.
"Brother Yu, that green robe broke our formation with the technique of blood spells, and now this evil beast has destroyed the forest and fallen trees, destroying many of our hidden weapons, and then letting it toss like this, our hard work will be destroyed in its hands sooner or later, and we have to think of ways to stop it."
