Chapter 442 It Will End Sooner or Later
Although General Qi has been in Nanfan Mountain, he has always been paying attention to Chu Heng's every move after he ascended the throne.
They have people out there gathering information all the time, reporting back at any time.
All I could hear was him saying in a low voice: "There are many more people from Zhaoyue Country in Jiangnan. They run many shops in Jiangnan. Some businesses are even only allowed to be run by people from Zhaoyue Country! The officials of Da Chu have to protect them!"
"The two cities on the southern border of Chu were also assigned to Zhaoyue State. They have already sent people to occupy the cities and drive away all the people of my Great Chu!"
"There is also a border town in the northwest, which has been occupied by people from the Nanyue Kingdom."
"Foreign nations are gradually encroaching upon the territory of our Great Chu! And all of this is tacitly approved by the Meng family and Chu Heng, who are willing to compromise! In order to please them, we are willing to cede land and pay compensation, which is simply a loss of sovereignty and humiliation to the country!"
There was obvious anger in General Qi's tone.
"Dad, don't be angry." Qi Yue sat aside and handed him a cup of tea.
He clearly said that he no longer cared about worldly affairs, but when he saw these things, he would still get angry. He was still a person who cared about the world.
Shen Yindi was also feeling a little depressed listening to this.
After killing Chu Heng and his mother, we have to take back the territory, and going to war with them is probably inevitable!
At least they will definitely not let Zhaoyue Country go?
General Qi continued in anger, "Before, the central and northern parts of Chu suffered a severe snowstorm, and the court did not even allocate money for disaster relief. As a result, many innocent people froze to death on the streets."
"However, after Chu Heng ascended the throne, he began to recruit concubines and build various gardens. He indulged himself in pleasure and lived a luxurious life!"
I had expected this kind of scene to happen after Chu Heng ascended the throne, but I was still very angry when I heard it in person.
No wonder they were able to recruit so many young and middle-aged people in just two months. It turned out that public discontent had been rising for a long time.
In their eyes, human life is worthless as long as it does not affect their enjoyment.
Shen Yindi felt that this kind of regime would end sooner or later and would not last long.
Looking back, it has only been half a year since Chu Heng ascended the throne, but the entire Chu seems to have become a completely different scene.
When they heard that Chu Yan and the others had returned, some familiar faces also showed up.
Mu Helan, two of the top ten killers, also came here.
Lord Lu and his wife are also here.
His three hundred elite soldiers have also arrived near Nanfan Mountain, waiting for orders at any time.
Including Azhu and Huo Ge who had originally stayed here, they now have four people in total.
Shen Yindi looked carefully and saw that the eldest brother Jin Ge had also returned today. He followed Leng Xiao and Shu Ya to Chu Nan!
Why is there only one person here now?
"Brother Jin, how are Shuya and Master Lengmen? How is Lord Lin? Have you found him?" Shen Yindi asked with concern.
"Reporting to the princess, the sect master and Miss Lin have found Lord Lin. They were ambushed but luckily escaped. They have rushed back from Chunan and will be able to reach Nanfan Mountain in about three days!"
Shen Yindi was relieved, and she asked again: "Master Lin is not injured?"
"He injured his leg before and spent more than a month recuperating in Chu Nan. I was ordered to come back to find out the news about King Zhenbei and you. At that time, he was almost recovered."
"It's just that Lord Lin's team suffered heavy losses, with only thirty elite troops left." Brother Jin explained everything.
Shen Yindi bit her lip and subconsciously looked at Chu Yan, only to see that his face didn't look good either.
"Is there a spy in the team?"
"Yes, the people of Chu Nan Zhao Yue country have long colluded with the people of the imperial court. This time Lord Lin went there to lure him into a trap."
That's what she and Chu Yan thought. Fortunately, God has eyes, and Lord Lin is fine.
It seems that the situation in Chu Nan may be even more serious than that in the northwestern border town.
No wonder General Qi was so angry just now.
Who wouldn't be angry if they were from Da Chu?
"Then when Lord Lin and the others come back, our people should all be here."
"We can make a long-term plan then. We need to have a plan on what to do." Shen Yindi said in a low voice.
At this time, Si Qi said: "Adi, I just received a letter from my brother, he said he has returned to the imperial capital."
"Okay, let him go to the other village to visit Aunt Chun and the others." Shen Yindi said.
It has been almost half a year since they left the capital. I wonder how they are doing in the villa?
It should not have been discovered by Chu Heng and the others, otherwise they would have used it to threaten them long ago.
"Is there any news about Emperor Chu? He should still be alive, right?" Shen Yindi asked.
After asking, she did not forget to glance at her own prince.
After all, he was his father, even if he didn't have much affection for him anymore.
"There is no news about the late emperor for now. If he passed away, there would definitely be an imperial edict to announce it to the whole country." Shadow said.
They came back first, but they were not idle. They were secretly gathering information.
Shen Yindi nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Meng must have her own reasons for keeping Emperor Chu. Maybe she wanted to use him as her last trump card.
That old witch is full of tricks and must not be underestimated.
Thinking of this, Shen Yindi asked, "Is that old witch still ruling the country from behind the scenes?"
"Yes, although Chu Heng seems to be the emperor, in fact, many major decisions are made by the Meng family. Chu Heng is just a decent puppet." General Qi said.
"I see."
"Won't Chu Heng be depressed to death?"
"With his personality, he must be resentful towards his mother." Chu Yun said firmly.
She was very familiar with the people in the palace, especially these people.
“But in order to have everything he has now, he dared not openly disobey her.” Chu Yan said in a low voice.
He also knows Chu Yan very well.
"Let's eat first, have a good meal, and then take a rest after eating. It has been tiring to travel during this period of time, so take a break first. We will make long-term plans." General Qi said earnestly.
"Okay, you really need to have a good rest."
"Adi, Qi'er, Sister Yun, it must have been very hard for you all along the way, right?"
"You all look thinner!"
"Oh, by the way, why don't I see Zi Yan? Did she go back to the imperial capital with Pavilion Master Si Yin?" Qi Yue only then noticed that Zi Yan was not there.
Speaking of this, Si Qi felt depressed.
"No, Zi Yan didn't come back with us. She is the princess of Yingxue Country, so she stayed in her family's palace." Si Qi said sullenly.
"Ah? Didn't Pavilion Master Si Yin try to keep her?"
"Oh, stop talking. It makes me angry to death. My brother is a fool. He will regret it sooner or later!" Si Qi said depressedly.
Seeing this, Mu Ningyuan couldn't help but laugh. He quickly and gently comforted her: "Okay, don't be angry, eat first. Go to bed early tonight."
"Okay." Si Qi nodded.
"Qi'er, let's have a few drinks tonight!" Qi Yue said immediately.
"Okay." She had to drink it. She was really feeling exhausted from holding it in for so long.
After three rounds of drinks, someone brought up another letter.
This time it’s a letter to Zhuyue.
He opened it and frowned slightly.
"Whose letter is it?"
