Harem Daily Life

"Stop talking nonsense! He Linzhang, I advise you to withdraw your troops immediately and return to Wuya City. Otherwise, your son will die in front of you today!" Feng Chenmu threatened.

He Linzhang stared at the other man with a cold gaze, fearlessly saying, "Feng Chenmu, do you think you can threaten me by taking my son? How could I, He Linzhang, back down because of this little threat?" He raised his sword and shouted, "All soldiers, follow me and charge!"

Feng Chenmu's face turned pale when he saw this. He glanced at He Jinan and sneered, "You saw it. Your father doesn't care about your life or death. So, go kill him and avenge yourself!"

He Jinan suddenly felt a headache, his heart filled with hatred for He Linzhang. He knew that the evil magic had taken effect again.

He now even hoped that his father would not save him, otherwise he would definitely put a knife to his father's neck once he got close.

But Ying San and his men suddenly rushed out, and more than a dozen shadow guards rushed towards He Jinan.

He Jinan: "..."

The guards who were guarding He Jinan started fighting with Ying San and the others, and the sound of swords clashing was endless.

Yin Jiu took the opportunity to untie the ropes on He Jinan and took him straight to the Da Zhou camp.

The battlefield was covered in dust, and the cries of battle were deafening. Feng Chenmu, atop the city walls, led the Yan army in a fierce resistance. Amidst the fierce fighting, the guards secured He Feng and led him back to safety. He Linzhang witnessed all of this.

"Ying San, go capture He Feng!" He Linzhang gave the order, and Ying San and the others immediately dealt with the Yan army in front of them and chased towards He Feng.

After Yin Jiugang brought He Jinan back safely, He Linzhang stepped forward and hugged He Jinan: "Jinan, how are you?"

He Jinan's distant expression made He Linzhang feel very uncomfortable. Before he could reply, a dagger was stabbed into He Linzhang's chest.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Everyone was panicked, and He Jinan's eyes were red.

"I don't want to, but I can't help it..."

"Hahahaha, He Linzhang, how does it feel to be killed by your son? Isn't it special? Hahahaha, you have come to this day, you have come to this day!" Feng Chenmu stood on the city wall and smiled wildly.

He Linzhang smiled, patted He Jinan's arm, and took the dagger off his chest. There was no blood at all.

"How, how could this happen?" Everyone was dumbfounded. He Jinan had stabbed with great force just now.

He Jinan himself was also dumbfounded.

Yin Jiu took the opportunity to chop He Jinan's neck with a knife. He fainted instantly and was hugged by Yin Jiu.

Feng Chenmu on the city wall was full of disbelief. At this time, Ying San and the others successfully dealt with the guards around He Feng and tied He Feng up.

"Quick, stop them, don't let anyone be taken away!" Feng Chenmu ordered loudly.

More than a dozen soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop them and fought with Ying San and the others.

Feng Chenmu's emphasis on He Feng made He Linzhang even more certain that He Feng must have some secret.

"Someone come here, catch He Feng, spare no effort!" He Linzhang's voice was like a death warrant, making He Feng, who was surrounded by enemies, tremble with fear.

"I can't die, I can't die, save me, save me!" He grabbed the Yan soldiers around him and blocked them in front of him, and kept hiding towards the Yan State.

But Ying San and the others were not pushovers either, and they caught him again in a short while.

While attacking the city over there and snatching people over here, Ying San and his men led He Feng out of the siege and quickly returned to the Da Zhou camp.

"Your Majesty, we can't hold on any longer!" Feng Chenmu's deputy general said sadly.

The situation on the battlefield was clear at this point; Yan was doomed. He Linzhang didn't bother to even bother paying He Feng a second glance, instead having him taken away and imprisoned. He wanted to focus on capturing the Yan capital first before settling his feud with He Feng.

Near noon, the city of Yan was broken. Feng Chenmu fled back to the palace in a hurry and closed the palace gates. He Linzhang did not stop for a moment and led the Zhou army directly into the city and attacked the Yan palace.

In the Yan State Palace, Feng Chenmu thought that he still had tens of thousands of guards who could fight and could resist for a while, but he did not expect that the morale of the Great Zhou army was so high that in just over an hour, tens of thousands of guards were killed by their swords.

The ministers of Yan State were captured and held in custody in fear, and all the concubines in the harem were also driven together.

Among them, the former Princess of Yan was from the Great Zhou. She had made a contribution to the Great Zhou when she married into the Kingdom of Yan, so Gu Yi did not make things difficult for her.

"General Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are well."

Gu Yi clasped his fists and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Princess Yan...it seems like you're not doing well."

The Princess of Yan smiled and said, "As a princess of the previous dynasty, I was taken into the harem by my husband's younger brother. How can my life be easy? Now that the imperial city of Yan has been conquered by you, I, a concubine of two dynasties, will have an even harder time."

After she finished speaking, she walked to the side and found a place to sit. She looked extremely noble, but her clothes were simple and her face was old, which showed that she was not favored.

He Linzhang came in from outside. Princess Yan looked up and became a little flustered for a moment.

Neither of them expected that when they met again after so many years, the scene would be like this.

Although He Linzhang no longer had any feelings for the Princess of Yan, he still couldn't bear to see her living like this in Yan State. After all, this woman had once sacrificed herself for the stability of the Great Zhou.

He walked to the top seat, facing the guarded courtiers and concubines, and said, "Yan has repeatedly provoked Great Zhou over the years. I could no longer tolerate this, so I personally led the army to fight against it this year. Now that Yan has been destroyed, Great Zhou wishes to rule it. Those of you who are willing to surrender will be reappointed based on your abilities. If you do not want to surrender, I will not take your lives. You may now leave the palace."

The court officials of Yan State looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected that the Emperor of Zhou was so good at fighting, yet not violent. He did not even kill them to establish the prestige of the country.

This seems to be much kinder than their King Yan...

Some court officials were willing to surrender on the spot and bowed to He Linzhang, but there were also a few stubborn ones who said that a minister could not serve two masters and wanted to return to the countryside.

He Linzhang always kept his word and gave those who were unwilling to surrender a chance to live and leave the palace.

In the end, only the concubines in the harem were left without a solution.

He Linzhang glanced over at the group of women, and each of their eyes and brows seemed familiar.

Princess Yan observed his expression and sarcastically said, "Your Majesty, don't you see? Their looks, whether it's the face shape, the eyebrows, the lips, or the body shape, there's always that one or two things about them—the look of an old friend."

Gu Yi frowned tightly, glanced at He Linzhang, and wanted to kill the Prince of Yan for daring to covet his cousin Tao.

He Linzhang was not in a much better mood either. He clenched his fists tightly. When he thought about the fact that Prince Yan was secretly thinking about Tao Yanyan and had actually found so many beauties who looked like her, he felt sick all over.

"You all... leave the palace."

The concubines hurriedly thanked him, not daring to think anything else, and fled the palace one after another. Only the Princess of Yan remained, accompanied by several of the Prince of Yan's descendants.

"Princess Yan, I remember you are from the Great Zhou. If you wish to return to the Great Zhou, I will not make it difficult for you. As for these descendants of the King of Yan... I originally had a thought of mercy, but past experience has taught me that if you don't remove the roots, the spring breeze will blow them back deep. Therefore, you cannot keep them."

The princes and princesses of Yan fell to their knees in fear, but He Linzhang showed no mercy and took them away to be executed. Although the Princess of Yan felt sorry for them, she did not try to stop them. After all, none of them were her own children.

"Where is the King of Yan? Can you find him?" He Linzhang asked.

Gu Yi nodded: "In the Imperial Garden, surrounded by plum trees, he said... please come over for a chat, Your Majesty."
