Chapter 739 Two Countries at War

Chen Zuo flipped off the tree and walked up to Mingyue with a stone in his hand, "Little girl, don't you know the acupoint techniques in the martial arts world?"
"Acupressure? I have heard of it from scholars before, but can you really reach Liu Chuan's acupoints from such a distance, Master?" Mingyue found it hard to believe.
"I will talk to you about this matter later. I need to properly examine this guy who I heard has harmed my disciple. I won't allow anyone to bully Chen Zuo's disciple." Chen Zuo grabbed Liu Chuan's collar, and with one hand dragged him into the house, ready to examine him thoroughly.
The next day.
In the imperial palace, the lights are brightly lit and the royal ceremonial team, drum team, and equestrian team are all standing in perfect order inside the palace. The drumbeats are loud and grand, almost audible from ten miles away from the palace.
When the new emperor ascended to the throne, it was a nationwide celebration, with all the civil and military officials, as well as their families, coming to the palace to offer their congratulations.
Song Qiluo stood in line wearing a complicated brocade gown, watching as Li Yeyu, clad in dragon robes, ascended to the high seat and became the emperor. This was the dream of so many people, yet Li Yeyu appeared to show no joy on his face.
In the outskirts of the capital, because of the emperor's coronation, many guards have been called to the palace, leaving fewer people to guard the area than usual. However, they are unaware that a great crisis is lurking, as soldiers from the neighboring country of Feng have gathered together in large numbers, standing several miles away.
Xu Jingrong rode at the forefront on horseback, wearing armor, looking every bit like a warrior preparing for battle. He drew the sword from his waist and raised it above his head, shouting, "Soldiers of Feng Kingdom, follow me! Let's charge into Yue Kingdom together, conquer their palace, and destroy it! Kill!"
“Kill!” The warriors of Feng Country shouted in unison, their voices breaking through the heavens and shaking the earth, making the outskirts tremble three times.
The orderly troops rode their iron steeds and charged towards the capital of Yue Country, about to face a bloody battle.
Tang Lingyu stood in line, following the people from the palace in bowing and paying respects. The many rituals made her feel dizzy and confused after just a morning. Looking ahead at Tang Suye standing in front of her, she was dressed in a bright red dress embroidered with intricate patterns, looking exquisite and rich.
Today she is very pleased, even though she is just being appointed as a noble concubine with only Li Yeyu on the throne. She feels quite proud of herself, after all, now she is the only one in the entire harem.
“As the ceremony concludes, the new emperor ascends to the throne and is presented with the imperial jade seal!” The sharp voice of the eunuch echoed from afar. According to the customs of the Yue Kingdom, if the emperor abdicates while still alive, the imperial jade seal is granted by the emperor personally. If a new emperor ascends the throne after the passing of the previous emperor, the imperial jade seal is granted by the palace elders and the empress dowager together.
Li Yeyu stood on the steps and reached out to take the jade seal handed to him solemnly by Yuruyi. Once he took the jade seal, he would be the new emperor of Yue Country, and no one could change that. Yuruyi sighed in relief, smiled, and was about to say something when she heard a deafening noise.
Shortly afterwards, the guards at the palace gate rushed over, with bloodstains on their faces, kneeling on the steps, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, something bad has happened, the Feng Kingdom..."
"Hua..."
Before he could finish his words, he was shot by a sword. The rest of his words could only stay in his belly, and the whole person fell forward. Xu Jingrong had already led his men into the palace, and in an instant the entire Yue Kingdom's palace was filled with soldiers from the Feng Kingdom, and the two countries engaged in a fierce battle.
Tian Ruyi stood on high ground and saw this crazy scene, extremely furious. She pointed at Xu Jingrong and shouted, "Prince of Feng Kingdom, do you have any sense of morality? Living in our Yue Kingdom, we treat you as an honored guest! How could you lead your people from Feng Kingdom to invade the palace during the coronation of our new emperor? Do you still have a conscience?"
Xu Jingrong rode on a war horse, sneering at her words, "Queen Mother, you are too foolish, with no defenses at all. How could I really live in harmony with you, the Yue country? You are my prey, and now I am just shooting my arrows. Kill! Capture the Emperor and Empress Dowager for me!"
With a command, many soldiers from the Wind Kingdom rushed towards Li Yeyu and Yu Ruyi. Yu Ruyi was shocked and immediately hid behind the soldiers from the Yue Kingdom, shouting loudly, "Quick! Protect me and the Emperor, kill these Wind Kingdom people."
In the midst of chaos, Song Qiluo's hand was grabbed by someone. When she looked up, it was Li Yehui. Li Yehui protected her and fought back, swinging his sword left and right, while tightly holding her hand.
"Luo, follow me closely! I never thought that the people of Feng Nation would be so shameless. The general has already gone to mobilize the troops, but it will take some time to arrive at the palace. Today, only a group of soldiers were brought as representatives for congratulations. I really didn't expect the people of Feng Nation to enter the palace at this time."
"Can the Yue Kingdom survive this crisis? The people from the Feng Kingdom are coming aggressively, and their prince has been living in the palace for so long, he must have already investigated every corner of the palace." Song Qiluo asked in panic.
"There are more dangers than good fortunes, but I will protect you. Stay close to me! If Yue Country really falls, then we will go to the Yellow Spring together, rather than fall into the hands of the people of Feng Country." Li Ye gritted his teeth and fought desperately.
Li Yelin tightly held Tang Lingyu's hand, facing off against the people of the Wind Kingdom. Unlike the other guards in the palace, he subdued all the Wind Kingdom people who came before him before they could make a move. He made his way towards Xu Jingrong, knowing the principle of capturing the leader first.
"Li Yijing, don't rush to fight Xu Jingrong head-on. Let's ride fast horses to the mountains outside the city and have Vice General Zuo bring all our brothers down the mountain. Our troops are sufficient to confront the people of Fengguo. Right now, you are outnumbered and can't win!"
Tang Lingyu held the Emei dagger in her hand. For the ordinary soldiers of Fengguo, she could easily deal with them by throwing a few golden needles and using some poison powder. But the people from Fengguo were coming in full force. With their large numbers, it was only a matter of time before the Yueguo army would not be able to hold them back.
"I have already let the strong wind go ahead, you follow me closely, today I will definitely fight with Xu Jingrong to the death!" Li Yejin was extremely angry, holding a dagger with a fierce attack. Hearing his words, Tang Lingyu, who was following behind him, had a moment of distraction. He should be the most intense person in the palace, and Li Yeyu, as the new emperor, did not have such a fiery anger."
She knew that Li Yejin would never be able to let go of Yueguo in her whole life. She turned to look at Li Yeyu, who was also fighting with the Fengguo people, protecting his mother and Tang Suye. However, he was stepping back step by step, not trying to protect Xujingrong and everyone else, but only wanting to protect the people he wanted to protect.
Actually, this is understandable, and it is even human nature. However, when it comes to an emperor, it is not acceptable. An emperor should protect all his people.
"Li Ye Jin, kill Xu Jingrong, how about you become the emperor of Yue country, I want to see you as an emperor, want you to protect the people of Yue country in a legitimate way, there will be no day when all the people you protect are accused of wanting to usurp the throne, since they think so, let's prove them right." Tang Lingyu turned around and said firmly.
