Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 348: You want to kill me.

Gu Qingtang had a smug look on his face and put his hands on his hips as he prepared to open the door and go in, but he bumped into a strong chest.

"Who did you say bullied you just now?"

Song Yunmo pulled up her wrist and questioned her, looking sleepy and with some swelling around her eyes, probably because she didn't sleep much last night.

She took his hand and walked into the inner room and closed the door. Song Yunmo, looking tired, lay on his back on the soft bed.

Then he propped himself up on the bed with one hand and looked at her infatuatedly, and said in a cold voice: "What do you want to see me for?"

She turned around and told him about Prince Rui, which made him so angry that he lost all his sleepiness. Suddenly, he stood up and lowered his head to sniff her neck.

"Did he also say he wanted to take you away from me?"

These words frightened her so much that she broke out in a cold sweat and stepped back, looking at him with a puzzled look.

Song Yunmo flashed behind the screen, took off his pajamas and changed into casual clothes. There was a rustling sound inside.

"It seems that Chu Mingchuan wants to kill me."

"If that's the case, then I can't let Wanyin go to marry. The worst that can happen is to go to war directly."

As soon as he changed his clothes, he heard the voice of the Regent outside, urging him to change his clothes as soon as possible and go to the morning court.

He looked down at his plain plain clothes and remembered that he had to attend the morning court today, so he impatiently took off his clothes a little irritably.

"What are your plans regarding Prince Rui? I don't have anyone in Chu Yundi's capital. They will send me new news in a few days."

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the palace maid was heard outside. She came to change his clothes. He got up a little late today, so the regent reminded the palace maid to come here in time.

The Regent asked the two to wait for a moment. Song Yunmo stared at the court robes hanging on the clothesline in a daze. "He is familiar with the people around me. I wonder if my beloved concubine can help me think of a solution?"

Then he took the court robe and placed it on the bed, signaling her to change his clothes. Gu Qingtang heard this and gradually became murderous. She held a short blade against his neck.

The regent, sensing the murderous intent, quickly pushed the door open and entered. She had forgotten about this person, and immediately put away her short blade and murderous intent and took the initiative to hug him.

"Your Majesty, I..."

But when he looked up, he found Gu Qingtang holding Song Yunmo, and all his murderous intent had disappeared. He immediately lowered his head and changed his words: "I am rude, I will withdraw now."

Gu Qingtang held a short blade in his hand against his chest, "Don't forget that we are just acting, Your Majesty, please don't take it too seriously."

"Since it's acting, how can we fool people if it's not realistic?"

He gently pushed Gu Qingtang away, lowered his head and stared at her beautiful eyes with a sly smile, then stepped back a few steps, spread his hands and looked at the court dress on the bed.

She had no choice but to put away the short blade and patiently dressed him. "You will go to the morning court with me today."

Hearing this, she deliberately tightened the belt around his waist. He groaned in pain and then stretched out his arm for her to hold.

The maid outside the gate took her to change into a graceful and luxurious dress. About a quarter of an hour later, the palace maid supported her and returned to the place.

Seeing that she could be so extraordinary and otherworldly after dressing up, Song Yunmo kept his eyes on her.

She was wearing a golden-yellow cloud-smoke shirt embroidered with orchids, a yellow ancient-patterned double-butterfly thousand-water skirt, and holding a pale white orchid mist gauze in her arms. Her skin was as white as snow.

Her three thousand strands of black hair fell down like a waterfall, and she wore an orchid bead hairpin embellished with beads and tassels, which was already beautiful beyond words.

Gu Qingtang's smile remained unchanged, but she was cursing him in her heart. Song Yunmo smiled and took a few steps forward, lowering his eyebrows to glance at her bright red lips.

Then he suddenly lowered his head and kissed those soft lips. A faint orchid scent lingered in his nose.

His Adam's apple moved slightly for a moment, then he let go of her reluctantly. Her vicious curses came to his mind.

He was not moved but instead picked her up and carried her to the door of Taiji Hall under the gaze of everyone.

When the ministers saw Gu Qingtang attending the morning court with him, they sighed in their hearts, saying that he was obsessed with beauty all day long, and he even brought someone with him to attend the court for the first time.

What's more, she was an illegitimate dancer who had not even been given the title of concubine.

After Song Yunmo took her in his arms and sat down, all the officials knelt down and saluted him. After the salute, it was time to discuss politics.

At first everything was normal. About half an hour later, a military officer, General Mingyuan, came out holding a jade tablet and said, "I have something to report."

After he finished speaking, the officials around him glanced at him, and some officials frowned slightly.

When he saw Song Yunmo agreed, he said, "Recently, the generals of Chu Yundi Capital have frequently caused trouble for our soldiers. Some of them have robbed our resources, maliciously injured our soldiers, and released poisonous insects to invade the places where our soldiers are stationed."

"This is already an act of crossing the line by the other party."

Other officials discussed this.

General Mingyuan's words could no longer be regarded as Chu Yundi's simple attempt to cause trouble; this was clearly done on purpose.

Our generals didn't cause any trouble for them, so why did they do such malicious things?

What Song Yunmo didn't expect was that Chu Yundi had already reached out his hand. He was doing it on purpose now, and he might attack blatantly in the future.

"Have you caught any witnesses? If not, then it is your fault, General Mingyuan."

"This..." He was stunned after hearing this and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I will remember that I will never give the enemy a chance next time."

Song Yun waved his wide sleeves impatiently to signal him to leave, and then another minister came forward holding a jade tablet.

"I have something to report."

Song Yunmo glanced at General Jinhu and then turned his head to look at Gu Qingtang beside him. After a long while, he replied coldly: "Speak."

"I am terrified..."

Unexpectedly, the emperor interrupted him impatiently, "Just speak frankly!"

"Recently, monsters have appeared frequently and have injured many civilians. The soldiers sent to encircle and suppress them were almost defeated and more than a thousand people have died."

Hearing this, Song Yunmo frowned, anger overflowed from his eyes, and an extremely cold aura spread out.

All the officials standing there lowered their heads and dared not speak. The moment General Jinhu stepped out of the line and sensed this aura, beads of sweat covered his forehead.

"General Jin Hu, what do you mean? Are all the soldiers under your command useless?"

General Jin Hu tried his best to steady his trembling body, took a deep breath and said calmly: "I dare to ask the emperor to appoint a capable person to help us kill the monster."

"Assist? What a help! You have at least 100,000 soldiers under your command, if not a million. Can a mere monster really wipe out your entire army?"

General Jin Hu's sturdy body trembled violently. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a shaking hand and said, "Your Majesty, please take a closer look. The level of the monsters causing chaos is almost above level 13, and the number of monster kings has reached hundreds!"

Then, he tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart and shouted loudly, his voice almost hoarse, "Although there are Immortal King level soldiers in our army, they still cannot withstand the siege of so many monsters."

Even if it meant risking the wrath of the Human Emperor, they had to get from him the strong men who were fighting against the demons. The ministers in the court were all sweating with worry.

The Emperor pondered for a long time before clapping his hands and looking at him approvingly, "Great General Youlong."

This person was the general in charge of all the troops, and his title was Youlong. However, Song Yunmo waited for a long time without receiving a response, so he called him by his real name.

“Xiao Che!!”

The Regent stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, General Xiao is ill today and has not attended the court yet!"

Mu Huayan was somewhat stunned and thought to herself why this name sounded so familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. Just as she was thinking about it, a man came in from outside the door.

His steps were steady and tense, and he exuded an evil aura. "I am here."

This person was wearing a black robe with gold edges, a waist belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern, and his black long hair was standing up with a delicate silver crown.

His pair of blue eyes were extremely sharp, yet also revealed an elusive faint light. His eyes were as cold as ice, and his fair and handsome face was extremely stern at this moment.

She saw the face of the person coming through the lightning in the sky and her body trembled slightly. Wasn't this Xiao Che who won the divine bow in the competition that day?
