Chapter 134.1
After bringing them back to their own country, it was naturally time to use them.
In the Great Shi Kingdom, the Great Shi Emperor looked at the 5 big drums before him and said in surprise, Are these the drums that can dispel the bewitching techniques of the Yellow Sky Sect? They look so ordinary!
Your Majesty, they are indeed genuine!
An envoy from the Great Shi Kingdom said proudly, At first, we wanted to borrow the divine drums from the Great Xia Emperor, but they lied, claiming the drums were broken! Fortunately, we didnt believe them and used some means to find out that the drums were hidden inside the imperial palace, and then we used some more means to steal them! There were a total of 10 big drums, and 5 of them were taken by the Great Zhu!
The Great Shi Emperor exclaimed joyfully, Good! If these drums truly have miraculous effects, you have made a great contribution! Now, the followers of the Yellow Sky Sect are causing chaos in my Great Shi, why not quickly put the drums to use?
Yes, Your Majesty!
They arrived at the ramparts of the capital city.
Below the ramparts, the dense throngs of Yellow Sky Sect disciples were laying siege to the capital city.
Great Shi Emperor nodded, and his envoy immediately brought out a large drum that had been stolen from Great Xia, striking it forcefully.
As the sound of the drum spread, the people below the ramparts gradually began to faint.
Great Shi Emperor laughed heartily: It seems this drum really is effective! With the sound of the drum, everyone below has fainted! But is it enough to just beat it a few times? I am somewhat worried!
Your Majesty can rest assured!
The Great Shi envoy said with a smile: This drum is indeed so. Just a few beats and it can awaken those Yellow Sky Sect disciples! Originally, Great Xia relied on this drum to overcome obstacles and eliminate the Yellow Sky Sect! With this drum, we will surely resolve the calamity of the Yellow Skys!
The Great Shi Emperor became even happier and loudly commanded, Good! Why not quickly distribute the drums?
Thus, of the five large drums, one remained in the capital city, while the other four were distributed to the armies on the four fronts.
They were instructed to beat the drums along the way, awakening the common people who had been bewitched.
These drums had a miraculous effect; upon hearing the drum sound, all the Yellow Sky Sect disciples fainted.
It was because of this that the Great Shi Emperor had already begun celebrating with the officials.
However, what they did not know was that when those Yellow Sky Sect disciples awoke, their eyes were still filled with confusion.
O Yellow Sky above, bless us with victory at the outset of our campaign!
Only under the protection of Yellow Sky can we usher in days of peace!
The Azure Sky is already dead, the Yellow Sky will soon rise!
They seized the weapons at their side, continuing to resist, to assault the fortresses, to pillage and plunder
Becoming even more ferocious, even more fearless in the face of death!
However, Great Shi believed that the bewitchment upon them had been lifted, and they had let down their guard.
Caught off guard, the army was overwhelmed by their charge!
The entire city fell into chaos, with smoke rising everywhere.
Upon receiving the news, the Great Shi Emperor flew into a rage: What is going on? Wasnt it said that they would come to their senses as long as the great drum was struck? Why are they still like this?
The Great Shi envoy, drenched in sweat, reported: Your Majesty, it may be that they are too deeply poisoned and have not been completely freed from its effects! Perhaps it will awaken them if we continue to strike the great drum!
The Great Shi Emperor bellowed: Then what are you waiting for? Go do it now!
Moments later, they came carrying the great drum, and then they struck it with all their might.
However, to their surprise, upon hearing the drumbeats, the Yellow Sky Sect disciples not only did not faint but became even more agitated and charged toward the direction of the drumming.
The Azure Sky is already dead, the Yellow Sky will soon rise!
Those who defy the god of Yellow Sky are rebels and must be executed!
Kill! The traitorous thieves are over here!
Great Shi Emperor was furious, raging like thunder: Damn it! This is truly infuriating!
Meanwhile, the Yellow Sky Sect disciples scattered throughout the Great Shi Kingdom also came to their senses and continued to pillage, kill, and conquer, showing extreme cruelty!
The soldiers of the Great Shi were caught off guard and overwhelmed by the disciples of the Yellow Sky Sect, suffering heavy losses.
Consequently, the Great Shi Kingdom became even more chaotic than before!
The same was true for the Great Zhu Kingdom.
At this point, how could they not realize that they had been outwitted by the Great Xia!
They cursed Lin Beifan in their hearts ten thousand times!
The cursed Lin Beifan, on the other hand, was calmly observing the changes, living his days in utmost comfort.
But at this time, the Ninth Prince of the Great Li Dynasty, Li Tianqiong, unexpectedly showed up.
Lin Beifan was furious, Why have you come again? Is your thieving heart still not dead? Let me tell you, your senior sister Yuxin belongs to me. In life, she is my person; in death, she will be my ghost. So, you can just give up on that idea!
The Ninth Prince showed a bitter smile on his face, As for senior sister, I have long since given up hope!
Then what are you doing here? Lin Beifan was puzzled.
I am here to escape an arranged marriage!
Escape a marriage? Lin Beifans eyes widened in surprise.
Indeed, to escape a marriage!
The Ninth Princes face was filled with bitterness, Upon my return, the Emperor saw that I was still alone, so he arranged a marriage for me! The bride-to-be is the precious daughter of a Grandmaster named Han Chuchu. She is the apple of her fathers eye, especially because she was born to him in his old age. Therefore, the Emperor hopes that by marrying her, I could win over the Grandmaster to our side!
This is good news, congratulations! Lin Beifan clasped his hands together and burst into hearty laughter.
Good news my foot!
The Ninth Prince said irritably. You have no idea how ugly that woman is! Shes tall and burly, rough and tough, and looks even more masculine than a man! Its said that she weighs a whopping 1000 jin!
Isnt that a good thing?
Lin Beifan said cheerfully. You pay the dowry for one, but its like youre marrying 10 people, what a bargain!
The Ninth Prince was furious: Get lost! Not a single good word ever comes out of your mouth! If it were you, would you be willing?
Lin Beifan sighed: Such good fortune is not for me to enjoy, its better suited for you!
Thats why I ran away here, hoping to get rid of her! the Ninth Prince said with a bitter smile.
Lin Beifan was shocked: Isnt that a bit much? Even if you dont want to marry her, theres no need to run away like this!
How could it not be serious? You have no idea, that girl is particularly fond of using force. Ive only met her three times, and each time she has beaten me up! Ill lose my life if I dont run away! The Ninth Prince said, still shaken.
Is she really that terrifying?
Just then, a bold female voice came from outside the city: Your Highness Ninth Prince, I know youve run into the city. Stop hiding, you cant escape. Just obediently come and be my husband, haha
The Ninth Princes face changed: Oh no! Shes really followed me here, like a ghost! I need to find a place to hide. If you run into her, tell her Im not here!
Lin Beifan urged, Hide in that palace over there, Ill cover for you!
The Ninth Prince gave a bow of thanks: Much appreciated!
He dashed into the palace and disappeared in a flash.
Just then, a woman of imposing stature, with the agility to scale walls and leap across rooftops, burst into the imperial palace.
Lin Beifan was taken aback with just one glance!
He wasnt exactly short, but next to her, he felt like a delicate bird in need of protection!
At that moment, she stood with her hands on her hips, looking down as she interrogated Lin Beifan, Where is His Highness the Ninth Prince? I saw him come here!
Lin Beifan looked up, He said hes not here!
Oh~ The woman narrowed her eyes, If hes not here, where else could he be?
Lin Beifan immediately shook his head, casually pointing to a place: Dont ask me. I dont know, but its definitely not in that palace!
The womans gaze swept over sharply, and then she quickly made her move.
Leaving behind only a Thank you!
Moments later, a wretched scream came from inside the palace.
Lin Beifan! Youve tricked me!
The Ninth Prince couldnt run away this time, as he had been beaten to a pulp and could only stay to lick his wounds.
Lin Beifan looked on with a heart that couldnt bear it: Hes your fianc. Does it have to be like this?
Han Chuchu clapped her hands, unconcerned, and said: Dont worry, I know my limits! He might look badly hurt, but its just superficial wounds. Hell be fine after a few days of rest! Alright, Im going back now, Ill come to see him again in a couple of days!
After finishing her words, she ran off in a hurry.
Lin Beifan watched the despondent Ninth Prince and said earnestly: Dont be so down! As the saying goes, hitting is affection and scolding is love, when love is too strong, one uses their feet to kick! Look how much she loves you, she almost beat you crippled just to keep you by her side to take care of!
Nonsense!
The Ninth Prince coughed a few times: Now you see why I have to run away, right? If I dont run, I really wont survive!
Its strange shes your fiance after all, why does she beat you every time she sees you? Lin Beifan was puzzled.
The Ninth Princes gaze became distant: She once said that the husband of her dreams is a peerless hero who would one day come to marry her riding on a multicolored auspicious cloud! But when she saw how weak I was, she was disappointed, so every time we met, she started to train me! But shes Innate; how can I possibly fight her? Cough cough
So it turns out that being too outstanding is a sin! Lin Beifan sighed.
The corners of Ninth Princes mouth twitched. Can you stop making such sarcastic remarks?
So, you chose to flee from the marriage? Lin Beifan asked.
Ninth Prince gave a bitter smile. Yes, what else could I do? Both the Emperor Father and that Grandmaster are very much in favor of this marriage! I had no right to choose, so I had to flee! Being part of the royal family means not being in control of your own fate!
Poor guy! Lin Beifan expressed his sympathy.
At that moment, Ninth Prince struggled to his feet. Lin Beifan, could you help me by persuading her to call off this marriage?
Lin Beifan spread his hands: How can I persuade her? Both your imperial father and that Grandmaster agree, so you might as well resign yourself to your fate!
The Ninth Prince looked eagerly towards the woman beside Lin Beifan: Senior sister
Chai Yuxin also found it hard to bear: Your Majesty, you are full of tricks, so please help my junior brother! After all, marrying such a tigress would mean he wont be happy for the rest of his life!
The Ninth Princes eyes lit up: Thank you, senior sister!
Lin Beifan gave a wry smile: This is a difficult task! I can only say I will do my best!
