Chapter 426 Angry
Sikong Jin traveled day and night, and by the time she arrived near Mount Shenglan, it was already nightfall the next day.
Emperor Beizun's army had joined forces with the hundreds of thousands of troops he had landed in Shengdong. Standing on the hillside, one could see an endless expanse of densely packed military tents below, with countless sparks jumping and flashing. Patrols passed by in formation from time to time, and the security was extremely tight.
The army of eight or nine hundred thousand men, with their endless camps, was a magnificent sight. The Heavenly Saint Imperial City was not far away. This great battle was finally about to begin, and there was no way to resist it.
Along the way, we encountered many civilians fleeing the war. The final battle between the two dynasties involved nearly two million troops, making it the largest and most noteworthy battle since the start of the war!
Thinking of this, Sikong Jin suddenly felt a little heavy-hearted. Suppressing the heaviness in her heart, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then spurred her horse forward at full speed.
"Halt! Who goes there? How dare you trespass on a military camp? Show me your identification and password!"
Before Sikong Jin even got close, the soldiers on duty at the gate immediately came forward, their spears pointed at her.
Sikong Jin reached into his sleeve, pulled out a token, and tossed it over, saying, "Open Sesame! I am Sikong Jin!"
The soldier took the token, glanced at it, and immediately knelt down on one knee. "Greetings, Lord Sikong! His Majesty commands you to return to the central army camp immediately!"
The orders have all been issued here?
Sikong Jin narrowed her beautiful starry eyes, raised her hand to touch her nose, and then said, "Open the camp!"
Upon receiving the order, several soldiers immediately opened the gate, and Sikong Jin quickly spurred his horse and galloped towards the central army camp.
"Lord Sikong! You're finally back! His Majesty has been furious because he couldn't find you for days. What have you been doing these past few days? Mei Ruhua almost got severely punished by His Majesty! You'd better go in and check on her!"
As soon as Sikong Jin dismounted, she saw Feng Yang and Eunuch Xu and the others coming out from inside.
"What's wrong? Is His Majesty angry again?"
Sikong Jin frowned and handed the riding whip in his hand to Eunuch Xu.
"No, His Majesty was just furious this morning and is currently looking at a map of the Heavenly Saint Imperial City, probably preparing for a major battle."
Eunuch Xu bowed slightly and said, "Lord Sikong, please go in first. His Majesty has been missing you for many days, and his temper is not very good. This old servant will have them prepare wine, dishes, and hot water immediately. His Majesty did not eat much for dinner, so we just wanted to prepare some delicious late-night snacks for him."
Sikong Jin nodded and waved her hand, "Go quickly, prepare more wine and meat. General Feng Yang, you can go down first too, I'll call you if I need anything."
"Yes, Lord Sikong!"
After responding, the two quickly retreated.
Sikong Jin arrived at the tent entrance, took a deep breath, and immediately forced a smile onto her beautiful face. Then she reached out and lifted the curtain, strode inside, and sure enough, saw Di Beizun looking down at a map on a table to the side.
"Your Majesty! I'm back!"
Lord Sikong strode over and quickly stood beside him, his face beaming with a smile as bright as a blooming flower, and called out to him with great self-satisfaction.
However, long after the sound faded, Di Beizun ignored her completely, focusing intently on the map in front of him and making a mark on it.
Angry!
That was Lord Sikong's first reaction.
He couldn't help but shrug. Now that he thought about it, it did seem a bit excessive. After all, they had marched together, and it was indeed wrong of him to disappear for several days without telling him.
"Your Majesty, I'm talking to you. What are you looking at so intently? Is it as interesting as me?"
Sikong Jin shamelessly grabbed Di Beizun's shoulder and forcefully turned him to face her, her actions quite rough and barbaric.
If it were anyone else, Di Beizun would have killed them with a single palm strike long ago; he wouldn't have allowed such insolence.
After she turned him around, a cold look appeared on Di Beizun's handsome face. He looked down at her intently, his eyes were somewhat icy, and he seemed unfathomable.
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Lord Sikong immediately took his hand and, thinking himself very gentlemanly, kissed the back of his hand, smiling gently, "What's wrong? Why are you so cold? Are you angry? Who upset you?"
Di Beizun was initially seething with anger, but after she lowered her head and kissed him, the coldness in his eyes dissipated somewhat. He pulled his arm back, too lazy to look at her, and turned back to continue looking at his map.
"What's wrong? Why are you ignoring me?"
Lord Sikong leaned closer and grabbed his hand. "I went out for a few days and brought back quite a few treasures. They're especially for you. Come, let's take a look!"
Without waiting for his reply, she pulled him to sit on the couch next to her.
"Sikong Jin, I really want to..."
Emperor Beizun was pinned to the couch by her. Before he could finish speaking, Lord Sikong had already deftly pulled out a large bag from his sleeve, threw it on the table, and opened it. A dazzling golden and silver light flashed out, almost blinding the two of them.
Di Beizun narrowed his deep eyes and looked at the table, which was filled with a huge pile of gold and silver jewelry, with all kinds of precious stones and gems!
Needless to say, he's gone off to be a robber again!
With an innocent and pure smile on his delicate face, Lord Sikong presented the items to His Majesty the Northern Emperor like a treasure, and said softly, "I've had quite a haul these past few days. How about it? It's all for you. Do you like it? Look, there are pearls and gems... It's all for you!"
At this moment, Lady Sikong would of course not know that the smile on her face was no different from that of those treacherous officials in the eyes of His Majesty the Northern Emperor. It was obvious that she had done something bad. Offering unsolicited favors could not possibly be anything good!
At this moment, Lady Sikong thought to herself, "Someone like Emperor Beizun wouldn't be interested in these treasures, would he? After all, what kind of treasures doesn't his Great Zhou's treasury have? These things ultimately belong to me, Sikong Jin!"
Lady Sikong had this wishful thinking in mind, but after her starry eyes flickered a few times, Di Beizun's unfathomable gaze saw through her thoughts at a glance. He reached out, picked up one of the rubies, glanced at it indifferently, and then put it back.
Upon seeing this, Lord Sikong's eyes lit up immediately!
I knew he looked down on these vulgar things!
