#1130 - Chapter 1130: The Destruction of the Golden Land
“Lie Yan! You dog thing, I spared your dog's life only because you are from the Queen's clan. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful, actually attempting to challenge the kingship!” King Jin Ji shouted.
“Jin Ji, you are acting against the natural order, and everyone under heaven is entitled to punish you!” Marquis Lie Yan shouted back.
“Nonsense! This world is my world, I can do whatever I want, so how can you say I'm acting against the natural order? You are spreading rumors to confuse the public, a crime worthy of execution!”
“Pass down my order, the entire army attacks! Chop off Lie Yan's dog head for me!” King Jin Ji drew his bronze sword and issued the charge order.
“The entire army attacks!” Lie Yan also issued the battle order.
Now, there is no need for any schemes or tricks. Only a frontal assault, sweeping through Jin land with invincible power, can demonstrate his strength.
The two sides engaged in a great battle on the plains outside the northern city of Jin land for a day and a night, and in the end, all the warriors of Jin land were killed.
King Jin Ji was captured.
Before Marquis Lie Yan's tent.
“Jin Ji, do you know your crime?” Marquis Lie Yan asked.
“Lie Yan, you have made a big mistake! If you release me now, you can still make up for your mistake. If you kill me, you will become a sinner of the Nata tribe!” Jin Ji's face was covered in blood, completely lacking the awareness of being a prisoner.
“Hmph, stubbornly clinging to your delusions! Someone, take him away first!”
Marquis Lie Yan was too lazy to waste any more words with him.
He really couldn't kill King Jin Ji, at least not directly by his own hand.
In order to prevent setting a bad example of subordinates rebelling against superiors for future generations, he decided to obtain the throne through abdication.
As for how to do it, it would be decided after discussing with the other leaders in the alliance. So for now, he could only imprison him temporarily, and make a decision after the situation was completely under control.
After the battle ended, Marquis Lie Yan impatiently led his warriors into the royal city, he still needed to find the person he had been longing for day and night.
Inside the Royal Palace.
“Yao Tao, I've finally found you!” Marquis Lie Yan said, choking with emotion as he looked at Yao Tao.
“Young Master Lie Yan, why did you take so long to come?” Yao Tao also showed a tearful expression of reunion after a long separation.
“I'm sorry, I'm late!” Marquis Lie Yan said.
“Do you know how hard it has been for me, waiting for you in this desolate palace!”
“It's my fault! Fortunately, after experiencing countless hardships, we can finally be together.”
“But I am already married, no longer the Yao Tao of the past.”
“No! You will always be the most perfect woman in my heart.” Marquis Lie Yan shook his head and spoke his heartfelt words.
“No! You can't be with me!” Yao Tao shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
“Why?” Marquis Lie Yan didn't understand.
“If nothing unexpected happens, you will become the new leader of the Nata tribe. If you are with me, people all over the world will scold you for being immoral. At that time, it will bring you many troubles and may affect your governance of the world.” Yao Tao explained.
“What does it matter? I would rather not have this world than be without you! Yao Tao, drop your worries and come into my arms! Let us go to a place where there is no one, and quietly stay together for life!” Lie Yan opened his arms, waiting for Yao Tao to come over.
“Really? Are you really willing to give up this world for me?” Yao Tao stopped crying and asked in surprise.
“Of course! In my eyes, this world is not as worthy of my cherishing as a strand of hair on your head!” Lie Yan replied with extreme certainty.
“Young Master! Wuwuwu~” Yao Tao was so moved that she rushed into his arms.
Lie Yan hugged her tightly, closing his eyes in happiness.
Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, he seemed to have returned to the moment they first met many years ago.
He had waited too long for this day, and holding her in his arms at this moment felt like he possessed the whole world.
“You can't be together!” At this moment, someone shouted from behind.
The two looked towards the door, and an old man with white hair was striding in.
This person was none other than Cheng Bang.
“Grandfather!”
“Father!”
The two shouted at the same time.
“You two cannot be together!” Cheng Bang said again after walking in.
“Grandfather, why?” Marquis Lie Yan couldn't understand.
He didn't expect that even Yao Tao's father would stop him.
“You ask why? Now that Jin land has been destroyed, the attention of the entire Nata tribe is on you. Your every move is far-reaching. At this moment, how can you be with the wife of the former leader? If it spreads, your character will be questioned by the majority of leaders.” Cheng Bang said.
“I already told Yao Tao just now, at worst I won't be this king. The Nata tribe is so big, can't they find someone more virtuous than me?” Lie Yan asked back.
“Hmph! Foolish! Do you think this throne is a salted fish? You can just give it to whoever you want?” Cheng Bang scolded.
