Demonic Calamity Across the Heavens: Starting with Little Li's Flying Dagger

Chapter 125 Huang Rong: Today's matter is a temporary measure; Hua Zheng

Chapter 125 Huang Rong: Today's matter is a temporary measure; Hua Zheng

Because Wei Wu had an appointment early in the morning to storm the palace, he didn't linger too long and got up at the crack of dawn.

Huang Rong was still struggling with her decision.

Li Mochou lazily called in the two pretty maids who had served her during her bath to help Wei Wu get dressed.

The two maids blushed with embarrassment, but their hands moved quickly. They were maids who had escaped from other cities and were sold into wealthy families in Bianliang. They used to serve their young mistresses in their boudoirs, so their professionalism was beyond question.

Wei Wu quickly dressed, but as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he saw a huge torch—the imperial palace had been set on fire!

A panting Indian under Möngke came running over and said, "Mr. Wei, Wanyan Xun didn't run away. He set up a pyre in the palace and ordered his army to commit suicide. He then set it on fire himself, saying he would rather do it himself than let the villains succeed."

Indians have a unique way of thinking; they didn't forget to explain, "By the way, Möngke said the villain he was referring to was you, and he sent me to ask you what to do."

"————Ha," Wei Wu chuckled after a moment of silence, "I don't believe Wanyan Xun has that much backbone. Tell Meng Ge, I want to see him alive or dead."

In fact, Cao Cao didn't care whether Wanyan Xun was alive or dead. He single-handedly forced the Jin emperor to order the three armies to commit suicide and set the palace on fire. This event was destined to make him famous throughout the world. Whether Wanyan Xun escaped unscathed was not important.

But you, Meng Ge, dare to call me a bad person?

If you don't rush into this fire, who will?

The Indian man didn't understand the meaning behind Wei Wu's words at all, and nodded in agreement, "I don't believe Wanyan Xun is dead either. I'll go back and tell Möngke right away."

As he was leaving, he seemed to remember something and turned back to ask, "By the way, Mongke also asked me to ask you when you're leaving for the grasslands."

"You guys seem even more anxious than I am."

"I'm not in a hurry, but Mengge is. He said his aunt Huazheng and Guo Jing are getting married, and he's rushing back to give gifts, saying that family members can't be estranged. Bah! I think he just wants his aunt and uncle's support. He's very cunning."

Wei Wu ignored the Indian's curses and waved him away.

He then leisurely returned to the courtyard.

As soon as Wei Wu entered the room, he saw Li Mochou clinging helplessly to Huang Rong, hanging on her like an octopus, insisting on borrowing a piece of dessert, saying she would pay her back later.

Huang Rong's face was rosy like a delicious apple. Whether out of anger or embarrassment, she cursed her for being as shameless as Wei Wu.

Li Mochou retorted confidently, "This is what it means to be a harmonious wife. If Wei Wu can accept it, why can't I, Li Mochou?"

Huang Rong's face flushed even more when she saw Wei Wu. Ignoring why he had returned, she pointed at Li Mochou with a weary expression and said, "Aren't you going to do anything about this?"

Wei Wu decisively shook his head and said, "We can't interfere."

Why?

I'm hungry too.

Huang Rong's blush was more powerful than any profanity.

But how could a weak woman like her possibly stand up to this shameless couple?

He could only silently remember this debt, thinking, "Today's actions were merely a temporary measure; I'll settle the score with Li Mochou another day."

"

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Huang Rong stood up, feeling both ashamed and indignant. She put her undergarment back on, which had been pulled to the middle, and glared angrily at Wei Wu. "Didn't you say you were going to kill the Golden Dog Emperor?"

"That fool was so frightened that he set himself on fire, and I received a message from Mongke that I thought would interest you, so I came back."

"What?"

"Guo Jing and Hua Zheng are getting married."

The room fell silent for a moment, then Huang Rong said, feigning indifference, "What right do I have to care about him now?"

She smiled wistfully, without the slightest hint of awkwardness, "I'm all yours now."

""

Not entirely.

"—Anyway, if you don't mind the dirt, just take it."

"That's excellent."

"What are you doing now?"

"Borrowing some desserts is also a way to help you produce and sell them yourself."

'

'

Huang Rong seemed to have lost all her strength, completely at Wei Wu's mercy. However, there was little sense of vengeful pleasure in her sorrowful eyes, only a touch of tragic beauty at the unpredictability of life.

Will Guo Jing marry Hua Zheng?

Huang Rong thought it wouldn't happen.

But since Mongke said so, it can't be fake news, right?

"Ögedei! Tolui! How could you do this—"

Guo Jing was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. When he woke up, before he even had time to train his soldiers, many acquaintances came to congratulate him.

He was puzzled, but when he asked, he learned that rumors had been circulating for a month that he would return to continue working as the Golden Saber Horse, and the news had already spread to the Western Regions.

Princess Huazheng has now returned, and the wedding is clearly imminent.

Guo Jing's vision went black for a moment. Despite his considerable internal strength, he was nearly injured by the pressure. That's why he abandoned the people who were congratulating him and stormed into the tents of Ögedei and Tolui.

But before he could finish speaking, he saw the woman in the tent, still as beautiful as ever, with eyes that sparkled like the Danube, who had lost all ability to speak.

Hua Zheng had clearly dressed up specially, but compared to her natural charm, those accessories were merely icing on the cake, not even a fraction of the charm she exuded when she smiled.

"It's been so many years, how have you been?"

Hua Zheng's voice was full of longing and gentleness, but her hands were still tightly clutching the handkerchief in her hands, clearly indicating that her heart was not as calm as it appeared.

"I—" Guo Jing managed to utter a single word, then abruptly turned his head to look at Ögedei and Tolui, who were watching the spectacle. This was originally their plan; if there hadn't been an iron chain binding him, even Tolui, who was as close as a brother, wouldn't have easily trusted Guo Jing.

Or rather, Tolui would unconditionally trust Guo Jing, but the Regent would not.

"Whose idea was this?"

Faced with Guo Jing's questioning, Hua Zheng's courage crumbled instantly, and she sat down again with a gloomy expression, her face full of guilt and forced smiles.

Ögedei remained silent.

Tuolei stood up angrily and said, "It was my idea! Guo Jing, Hua Zheng has been waiting for you all these years, yet you haven't even said a single word to her?"

Did Guo Jing have feelings for Hua Zheng?

Have!

But it's more about the older brother's feelings for his younger sister.

But beneath this affection lay a heavy burden of hatred—it was Hua Zheng who betrayed them, causing their plan to leave Mongolia and head south to be exposed, forcing Li Ping to commit suicide and thus eliminating any possibility of Guo Jing staying behind.

Hua Zheng can be considered his indirect enemy who killed his mother.

Guo Jing's forgiveness is selective; he punishes good people severely, but may have his reasons for forgiving bad people. Therefore, he would never forgive Hua Zheng, let alone marry her.

Seeing this, Ögedei coldly said, "Hua Zheng is already here, and the clarification has been released. If you're unwilling, there are plenty of others who are!"

The three of them looked at Ögedei in shock.

Ögedei remained calm and said, "A master has emerged in the Jin Kingdom, who single-handedly disrupted more than a dozen cities. I sent Möngke to make contact. If such a person is willing to submit, we must make him one of our own."

"I won't marry him!" Hua Zheng jumped up as if her bottom were on fire, her face filled with anxiety and anger, and reiterated, "I won't marry anyone!"

Ögedei retorted firmly, "Do you want to lose face a second time?"

Of course, if you are already married, you cannot marry him. I've heard that people in the Song Dynasty valued this, and that a good woman doesn't marry twice. So, Guo Jing, will you marry him or not?
