Ao Dun's journey back home is not destined to be easy, as there are killers along the way.

Shi Wanyue and Yun Jiuzhao naturally also knew about this.

"Sister, do you think we should intervene?" The latest news Ao Dun sent was that Shi Wanyue and Yun Jiuzhao were drinking tea and playing chess.

Shi Wanyue had just gotten some good tea, but Wen Zhimiao didn't like tea and couldn't appreciate it, so Shi Wanyue didn't make things difficult for her later on. After getting these things, she came directly to Yun Jiuzhao.

"No." Yun Jiuzhao said lightly.

It was raining outside. Yun Jiuzhao and Shi Wanyue were sitting under the eaves playing chess and listening to the rain.

"This dog-eat-dog drama is boring. Could it be that Wanyue is interested?" Yun Jiuzhao looked at her and asked.

Shi Wanyue also shook her head: "I'm not interested. Whether Ao Dun comes back or not, it won't bring any loss or benefit to Tianqi."

Once the war between the two countries begins, it will not be easy for Ao Dun to negotiate even if he ascends the throne. After all, once the war breaks out, Tianqi will have no choice but to take back the lost fertile plains.

If the northern plains can be recovered, the northern land of Apocalypse will have more arable land, and both the ability to feed the population and resist disasters will be improved.

There haven't been any major changes in Tianqi. The people still do what they are supposed to do, and even the emperor Wen Zhimiao is the same.

Su Qingluo and Yun Zhouyuan, who were far away in the mountains and rivers, didn't react much when they learned about this. Su Qingluo believed that Wen Zhimiao would handle it.

In the Beirong Palace, a pale, thin woman was sitting on a recliner, with a male lover serving her beside her.

The woman's eye sockets were sunken and she looked frighteningly thin.

She is very different from the princess who rode a horse on the grassland with high spirits in her youth.

"Your Majesty, the princess hasn't replied yet. I'm afraid she's having a great time in Tianqi and isn't in a hurry to come back." The male favorite serving beside him said cautiously.

The woman lying in the sun didn't say anything and still had her eyes closed. Her hair had turned a lot whiter and she looked like she could lose her breath at any moment.

"You said Dun'er doesn't want to come back?" The woman opened her eyes after a long time, and her black eyes looked at the male lover beside her.

The male favorite didn't dare to look her in the eye, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back for no reason. The King of Beirong just waited quietly for his answer.

She was thin and frail, no longer having the beauty and strength of her youth, but her eyes were still sharp, like an eagle on the grassland watching its prey.

"No, it's not me who said that, it's..." The male favorite's voice was trembling, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"Forget it, I know it's not you." King Beirong's voice was faint and a little weak.

"But I'm not in a good mood today." She bent down and stretched out her hand to lift the male favorite's chin.

"You have very beautiful eyes."

She said this many times, and the male favorite also knew that he was favored because of this pair of eyes.

"Very beautiful." King Beirong stroked his eyes with his fingertips.

Soon, wailing sounds were heard from the palace.

When King Brahma came to ask for an audience, he saw palace servants carrying out a man with not a single piece of intact skin on his body. He was covered in blood and his eyes were gouged out.

She glanced at the male favorite, who was the one who was favored recently.

She has a pair of eyes that are very similar to that man.

Sometimes King Brahma couldn't tell whether the king loved him, hated him, or felt sorry that he didn't die in his hands.

Any man like him can gain favor as long as he comes before the king.

The king would give them generous rewards and the utmost favor when he favored them, but when he got tired of them, they would always die miserably.

It seemed that there was only one person who had a good ending, but King Brahma felt that the fact that he was made a concubine had little to do with his similarity to that man.

It was more because he was smart and a bit lucky, so Ao Dun's younger brother was born.

She submitted the request for a meeting, but the reply she received was still no meeting.

King Brahma could not guess what the king was thinking, but he could probably guess that although the king was seriously ill, he was not being held hostage.

It's just possible that he was bewitched.

"The king has ordered that you, King Brahma, go and bring the princess back in person, even if you have to tie her up."

"Is that all you said?" King Brahma frowned. He asked her to bring the princess back personally?

Once she leaves the royal city, the city will be in chaos, and the research on gunpowder is still in progress, so she can't leave.

Many people in Beirong wanted to go to war with Tianqi, but Tianqi had powerful gunpowder and Beirong did not.

Ever since he learned about the existence of this thing, King Brahma has been looking for people to study it, but to this day, Beirong’s research results are not enough to turn gunpowder into a powerful killing weapon.

There is a huge gap between them and Apocalypse. If a war really breaks out, it will be difficult for Beirong to win even with their cavalry.

This is also one of the reasons why King Brahma has never wanted to go to war.

Tianqi has really been helped by God over the years.

King Brahma sighed and turned to leave. As soon as he left, he asked his subordinates to send more people to pick up Ao Dun.

It was impossible for her to go in person.

But before Ao Dun returned, another incident happened within Beirong.

The young man Wang was killed in the explosion.

That day, the young man Wang went to ride a horse but suddenly there was an explosion at the horse farm.

In the world today, only Apocalypse has mastered such powerful gunpowder technology, and in Apocalypse, even fireworks cannot be sold in large quantities to foreigners.

Therefore, the death of this young Wang was directly attributed to Tianqi.

The fact that Ao Dun had not returned for a long time meant that Tianqi was looking for her, and someone actually came back with a wanted warrant from Tianqi.

The King of Beirong was furious and immediately ordered a war against Tianqi.

King Fan always felt something was wrong. She originally thought that King Beirong's illness was caused by the young prince and his father, but now it seems that this is not the case.

There is someone else controlling all this.

But before she could investigate the matter, King Beirong once again ordered her to lead the troops to attack Tianqi in person.

When King Brahma received the order, he did not even care whether he was disobeying the order or not, and immediately led his troops into the palace.

When she fell, King Beirong was coughing. Listening to her heart-wrenching cough, King Fan found it difficult to say some of his original words.

King Beirong coughed up a large mouthful of blood. The blood was even black in color, which was not normal.

"Aunt!" King Brahma knelt in front of her nervously.

King Beirong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as usual: "Why are you so nervous?"

"Why has my aunt's body become like this?" King Fan had not seen King Beirong for almost a month. The last time they met, she was not like this and not so thin.

But when I saw her again today, she was really just skin and bones.

King Beirong waved his hand and asked everyone else to go out, leaving only King Fan.

King Brahma observed those people carefully, but still couldn't figure out who was manipulating the situation behind the scenes.

"Are you here because I asked you to go to war?" asked the King of Beirong.

The Brahma King lowered his head and nodded slightly.
