Chapter 696 May All of You Be Buried with Me

On the first day of the twelfth month, there was less than a month left before the Battle of the Great Abyss Mountain.

Although it was not clear why Xu Han was so certain that Senluo Palace would march towards Great Abyss Mountain at the end of the year, Ye Hongjian did not doubt it because of her instinct. After confirming that her parents' health had stabilized, she brought them all the way north to the Chen Kingdom.

And one thing, Xu Han was right. At this moment, Senluo Palace seemed to have devoted all of its strength to attacking Great Abyss Mountain. Other than You Zhou and Liang Zhou, most of the other places were defenseless and did not have much high-end combat power to guard them. Ye Hongjian was able to walk unhindered along the way.

But this did not make Ye Hongjian happy. This change also reflected the determination of the Dark Asura Palace to take down the Great Abyss Mountain. Therefore, Ye Hongjian wanted to find Chu Chouli and the others as soon as she arrived at the Chen Kingdom. However, when she arrived at the Qin Palace where they were sleeping for a long time, she was told that the group of people must have left. Only Su Mu'an was still there and came out to welcome him.

"Are you saying that Ziyu married Chen Xuanji? Is this the result of Xiao Han's mediation?" After settling down her parents, Ye Hongjian had a meal with Su Mu'an , who was still in the mansion. During the meal, she heard Su Mu'an talk about this matter.

"Yes." At this point, Su Mu'an also frowned. Obviously, even now, she was still somewhat puzzled by Xu Han's previous decision.

After Ye Hongjian came to the Chen Kingdom, she heard people mention from time to time that His Majesty's new empress was a kind-hearted woman. This winter, Chen Kingdom did not listen to the heavy snow, and the people were having a hard time. It was this empress who contacted the various parties to send enough food to the victims for them to survive. Ye Hongjian had been secretly puzzled. Chen Xuanji had just held a funeral for his wife a few days ago. How could he find another lover in the blink of an eye? However, he did not expect that the empress that the people spoke of was actually her friend Fang Ziyu.

On the way with Xu Han, she did not hear Xu Han mention this matter. She could not guess what Xu Han was thinking, but she did not go back to suspect that Xu Han would really do something to harm Fang Ziyu. At this moment, he could only temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart and pondered if he had the chance to explore the imperial palace of the Chen Kingdom in the future.

Thinking of this, Ye Hongjian did not continue to dwell on this topic. She looked at Su Mu'an and asked, "Brother Chu, have they all gone to the Great Abyss Mountain?"

"Yes." Su Mu'an nodded again. His expression was somewhat complicated at that time. He muttered to himself like a child who had done something wrong, "Lord Manor Master told us not to get involved in this muddy water, but Uncle Chu and the others went. I…"

"You want to go too?" Ye Hongjian leaned closer to Su Mu'an and looked at the boy who lowered his head with some amusement. Obviously, this little fellow had already treated Xu Han as a golden and jade-like advice. He was not willing to let him down, but he couldn't bear to see his companions fight bloody battles while he was alone at home.

Su Mu'an , who had been exposed by Ye Hongjian, thought that he had concealed his thoughts very well, but in fact, he wanted to cover them up. He lowered his head even deeper. He did not even dare to reply, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

Ye Hongjian laughed. She reached out to touch the little fellow's head and said, "Do you want to be like your Lord Manor Master?"

Hearing this, Su Mu'an immediately raised her head and nodded, "Of course I do."

"Then you have to have your own ideas. You have to do what you think is right." Ye Hongjian smiled.

Su Mu'an was confused. He nodded blankly and said, "Does Sister Hong Jian want to go too?"

"Of course." Ye Hongjian replied. "How about we go together in a few days?"

Su Mu'an 's face was filled with joy. He was about to accept, but he quickly revealed a hesitant expression. He said somewhat awkwardly, "Not yet. I still have to use another ten days to teach the remaining saber techniques to nineteen."

Ye Hongjian did not expect Su Mu'an to say such a thing. She was slightly stunned, but a strange mocking expression quickly appeared on her face. "You're a big kid, but young nineteen is a little young, but no matter how you look at it, you're still a beauty. When you grow up, you'll probably be pretty. Your mind of taking action first is very exquisite."

Although Su Mu'an was slow, he understood the hint in Ye Hongjian's words. His face immediately flushed red. At that time, he hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "It's not what Sister thought. I just feel that this trip is dangerous. If something really went wrong, it would be better for Nineteen to have some cultivation methods to defend himself than to be slaughtered."

However, Su Mu'an had never thought about how his little three-legged cat's lips were Ye Hongjian's opponent.

Ye Hongjian only glanced at him lightly and asked, "Didn't you say that the Su Clan's saber techniques aren't spread out?"

Su Mu'an was dumbfounded when she said this, but Ye Hongjian also knew that the little fellow's skin was thin, so she naturally knew how to stop when she saw good things. She quickly changed the topic and stood up and said, "Alright, you should rest well too. You still have to teach your little nineteen kung fu tonight. I'll go and see Keqing."

After Ye Hongjian finished speaking, she gave Su Mu'an another meaningful glance before turning around and leaving.

…

Bang!

In Changle Palace, Fang Ziyu angrily smashed a piece of precious porcelain at the palace gate, and the porcelain immediately shattered.

"Someone! Someone!" The eldest young miss behind him shouted loudly towards the entrance of the palace.

No one outside the palace gate responded for a long time, and only after a long time did a low voice sounded, "Your Majesty, don't make trouble again. Your Majesty has instructed you not to let Your Majesty go out. Your Majesty, don't make things difficult for the little ones."

Hearing this, Fang Ziyu was even angrier. She had already been locked up in this thick palace gate for more than a month. Apart from Chen Xuanji occasionally coming and pulling him around the palace for a while, most of the time she was imprisoned in this palace. How could Eldest Miss Fang's temper endure such a dull life? Moreover, a few days ago, she had heard that her father and his group had left Jinling for Great Abyss Mountain. Fang Ziyu naturally wanted to follow the others, but he was imprisoned here.

Just as she couldn't hold back another burst of shouting, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace, accompanied by the sharp voice of the eunuch, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Fang Ziyu was shocked, but before she could react, the palace gate was pushed open from the outside. A handsome man in a royal robe with white hair walked in.

Fang Ziyu obviously didn't want to see the man in front of her. She frowned and subconsciously retreated to the corner of the room. She frowned and said, "Why are you here?"

Chen Xuanji didn't care about this. He lowered his head and looked at the mess under his feet before saying, "Looks like you're not happy here."

Fang Ziyu snorted coldly and didn't say much.

Chen Xuanji then walked forward to Fang Ziyu. He stood very close to her and looked at Fang Ziyu with narrowed eyes. Fang Ziyu couldn't help but panic. She subconsciously took a few steps back. Although she tried her best to calm herself down, the words she spat out still carried a slight tremor, "You … What do you want to do?"

"What can a husband do to his wife?" Chen Xuanji said meaningfully.

Fang Ziyu's face immediately turned red. She glared angrily at Chen Xuanji and pretended to be calm as she said, "You can't think about it!"

"We are a legitimate couple. Why can't I think about it?" Chen Xuanji asked calmly.

Fang Ziyu was immediately stupefied. At that moment, Chen Xuanji suddenly retreated to the side and sat down on a wooden chair. He knocked on the desk beside him and said, "Have you memorized the things I asked you to carry a few days ago?"

Fang Ziyu was stunned for a moment before she remembered what Chen Xuanji had said. She immediately frowned.

Over the past month or so, Chen Xuanji had sent people to deliver some things to him every day. It recorded many things that happened within the borders of the Chen Kingdom, such as how a certain official was, how capable he was, and what his background was. For example, where the snow disaster was serious, where the food was poor, and where to transfer food; All of these things were numerous and enormous. They were not things that an ordinary person could remember in a month.

With Fang Ziyu's temperament and her dissatisfaction with Chen Xuanji, she naturally wouldn't really take this matter to heart.

"Hmph, why should I carry those things?" Fang Ziyu ridiculed back at that time.

Chen Xuanji wasn't surprised, "You still have this temperament. You don't like to read books, and you don't like the dense writing."

Fang Ziyu did not like Chen Xuanji's tone. She frowned and was about to say something, but Chen Xuanji said before her, "How about this, I'll give you another half a month to remember all those things."

Fang Ziyu felt that it was somewhat ridiculous. She looked at Chen Xuanji with disdain and asked, "Why should I listen to you?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuanji said, She took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Fang Ziyu. He said, "Ye Hongjian has come to Jinling. She is currently living in Prince Qin's Mansion. This letter was sent by her, but she doesn't want to fall into my hands. If you agree to my request, I can show you this letter. Not only that, but before she leaves Jinling, I can also allow you to meet in Jinling City. How is that?"

These words clearly poked into Fang Ziyu's heart, wanting to get rid of this dark imperial palace. If she could see Ye Hongjian, she might be able to change the situation. Thinking of this, she glared fiercely at Chen Xuanji and snatched the envelope from his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Xuanji naturally knew that Fang Ziyu had agreed to it. He smiled slightly and did not say anything else. He stood up and left the room with his servants. After Fang Ziyu left, he quickly took out the envelope and opened it.

However, what was said in the letter was none other than Ye Hongjian's recent situation, and she also expressed some congratulations on Fang Ziyu's wedding. Then, she said that Xu Han had left alone, and there was nothing else she could say.

This made Fang Ziyu somewhat puzzled. Ye Hongjian spent so much effort to send the letter into the manor, but the so-called words were nothing more than greetings. She couldn't help but ask a few big questions. She carefully read it over and over again and didn't find anything unusual. The only thing she cared about was where Xu Han was at this moment.

The battle was imminent, and everyone had gathered on the Great Abyss Mountain. Why did the protagonist disappear?

…

At the same time, in the Crimson Firmament Sect within Great Xia, Immortal Xie Min Yu was discussing with the elders of the Sect how to help Great Chu resist the two sieges of Great Xia and Chen and defend the Longzhou region.

Everyone present was full of confidence in this battle. They believed that after this battle, the Crimson Firmament Sect would tighten its grip on Chu Chao's thigh. When Chu Chao ruled the world, the status of the Crimson Firmament Sect would rise. At that time, it would be possible for them to step down as Orthodox Churches.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. At that time, a disciple hurriedly and recklessly pushed open the door of the meeting hall.

"Sect Leader! Not good!" The disciple said this with a frightened expression and a flustered tone.

Xie Min Yu, who was discussing at length, was instantly somewhat dissatisfied. He frowned and stood up, saying, "Why are you panicking? Isn't it indecent to be so reckless?"

The disciple panicked. At that time, he lowered his head and said, "Someone has forcefully barged into the mountain gate."

Xie Min Yu's expression immediately changed. This was a sensitive period. Great Xia and Chen were both making preparations on the border. Could it be that the imperial army had launched a surprise attack to destroy their Crimson Firmament Sect?

Thinking of this, the expressions of everyone present changed. Xie Min Yu looked at the disciple with a serious expression and asked, "Where did the other party come from, how many troops did he bring, and how many experts did he have to assist him?"

When the disciple heard this, for some reason, he was suddenly stunned. He did not respond to Xie Min Yu's question for a long time.

Xie Min Yu was anxious and shouted, "Say it."

Only then did the disciple regain his senses and said, "Only… only one person… with a black cat and a black dog…"

Xie Min Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was just a solo entrance. He said angrily, "What kind of big deal do I think I am? It turns out that I'm just a blind guy. You can just go to the Scarlet Flame Hall and find some disciples to send. There's no need to disturb us with trivial matters."

In order to coordinate with Senluo Palace's actions in Great Abyss Mountain, Over the past few days, they had snatched children of the right age from the surrounding sects and towns and sent them to Dark Asura Hall. This naturally aroused some public indignation. Occasionally, some of the children's relatives and elders would come to ask for help. However, these were nothing to the Scarlet Firmament Sect, which had a great career. They were also able to deal with them smoothly.

After Xie Min Yu finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something. His expression suddenly changed. He looked at the disciple again and asked with wide eyes, "What did you say that person was carrying?"

The disciple did not understand why the sect leader who had just taught him why he was suddenly in a state of chaos. He was about to respond when a clear and loud voice suddenly came from outside the mountain gate.

"Old friend Xu Han, please come and invite all of you to go to the Underworld Springs and be buried with Zhen Yue!"
