The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 455 Grandfather Comes to Beijing

Shen Wen watched the little emperor go to the morning court, and then she went back to bed to sleep. She instructed the little palace maid to wake her up before the little emperor came back, and the little palace maid was very dedicated and responsible.

An hour later, the young palace maid called her to get up, just when the sun was high in the sky.

Shen Wen stood in front of the window, looking at the dazzling soft light, and was in a good mood at this moment.

But at this moment, the surveillance alarm in her head sounded, and she hurriedly turned it on to check.

He first checked several places in Prince Rui's Mansion and found nothing unusual, then quickly called up the surveillance footage of Duke Ji's Mansion. This time, he felt inexplicably worried, so he checked the situation in Chu Yanqiu's room from a first-person perspective. He just saw Chu Yanqiu pushing the fake Shen Wen who was pestering him off the bed.

The evil spirit Shen Wen, wearing only a bellyband, showed off his graceful and elegant figure in front of Chu Yanqiu. Shen Wen simply couldn't bear to watch it, and complained in his heart that it was too painful to look at. But when he saw Chu Yanqiu's response, he looked calm and composed, and he felt much better. It seemed that the training of these days was effective. Perhaps the ending where Yuchi Lian came back and was killed by Chu Yanqiu might be written?

At this time, in the surveillance video, Chu Yanqiu was seen changing his clothes, tidying himself up very carefully, and then going to another place with a cautious and anxious mind.

His sight turned to the place where Chu Yanqiu went to the main hall of the second house, and he saw an old man sitting in the hall. The old man looked very energetic at first glance. Although his hair and beard were completely white, his figure was tall and strong, and he was dressed like a man of the world. He was wearing a tight-fitting shorts and his legs were tied neatly. There was a big copper pipe stuck in his waist. Shen Wen was a keen observer. He only took a look at the pipe and knew that it was usually used for taking a few puffs. At other times, if the pipe hit someone on the head, the brain would immediately pop out.

When the old man saw Chu Yanqiu, his originally calm face immediately changed to excitement and kindness. He hugged Chu Yanqiu, and the two hugged each other for a long time. The affection between family members was fully displayed at this moment.

Chu Yanqiu was also very excited. He hadn't seen his grandfather who raised Jingxin for many days, and he kept calling him "Grandpa".

The family reunited for a moment, and then the grandfather sitting at the head of the table started talking about serious matters, which turned into sensitive matters of rebellion.

He only heard his grandfather say, "My dear grandson, you don't know. I, your grandfather, have been guarding the border town for you these days, and I have encountered many thrilling dangers. Fortunately, the Jianghu army selected by our Xiliang City is of amazing combat strength. Whether fighting against the regular army of Daju or the rebels, they have always won by surprise. This time, your grandfather was able to come in person. First, I heard that your life was hanging by a thread and I was very worried about you. That's why I couldn't wait to come. Secondly, I know that you have encountered powerful enemies in the capital. You have the status of a young master of the Ji State Mansion in Daju, but the troops you can mobilize are too few. When you encounter a truly powerful enemy, you have to fight alone."

Having said that, my grandfather glanced at Chu Yanqiu's father, Master Ji Er, with disdain. The final meaning of this was to embarrass the strength of the Ji Guogong Mansion.

It was still a Duke's Mansion, a place of military commanders and nobles who had founded a nation. What good was that? The available military horses were becoming fewer and fewer with each generation, and even those few were given to Ji Ziyin, the eldest wife. What was left for Chu Yanqiu? Aside from a position as a civil official, he had nothing else. If his grandson could mobilize troops for major tasks, those were the people he had stationed in the capital from Xiliang City.

When the Lord of Xiliang City thought of this, he couldn't help but curl his lips. He couldn't help but say, "That old master of your Ji Mansion is really a bad person. My little grandson is his nephew. He controls such a huge foundation of the Ji Guogong Mansion. Even if he is just pretending to be well-prepared, he should at least give my little grandson a private army. But he won't even pretend to be well-prepared."

Master Ji's face turned red after being scolded. He lowered his head and did not dare to argue for his elder brother.

When Chu Yanqiu heard what his grandfather said, he understood what he meant. He looked at his parents. The two elders understood what he meant and went out silently.

Chu Yanqiu knelt on one knee at his grandfather's feet, touched his knee and said, "Grandpa...didn't you want your grandson to have anything to do with that Immortal Ancestor before? Why have you changed your attitude now and want to share the same ideas as that Immortal Ancestor?"

The Lord of Xiliang City was silent for a moment. He sighed and said, "Grandson, have you forgotten? A few days ago, you sent a letter to Xiliang City, begging me, grandfather, to send troops to invade the northwest border? You sent more than a dozen letters begging for mercy, saying that if I didn't follow your plan, your situation in the capital would be in danger. Now that things have developed to this point, my grandfather is the one who understands your precarious situation best. What else can I do? I am willing to help you overcome these difficulties."

Chu Yanqiu tightened his grip on his grandfather's knees and said emotionally, "I didn't do those stupid things. It was that Immortal Ancestor who tampered with my memory and has been leading me to do things that go against my will."

He had barely begun to speak when his grandfather covered his mouth. He said, "Alright. Grandfather, don't you know this? Some things you discover cannot be changed by yourself. It's a pity that Grandfather only understood this after living for so many years. My dear grandson, you've suffered. Who told you that you carry the blood of the Ji clan? The outside world only envy us, the Ji clan, for having such a legendary ancestor, but they never understand that an ancestor so powerful that he controls the fate of all his descendants is the misfortune of this clan."

It's more than just unfortunate. Yuchi Lian is a devil.

The grandfather and grandson sympathized with each other, snuggled up to each other for comfort, and both mourned for their own and their clansmen's misfortunes.

Shen Wen, who was watching all of this from far away in the palace bedroom, felt a sense of crisis through this sudden appearance of the person.

She was very familiar with that sense of crisis.

It seems that the so-called "time is running out" that I have always worried about is no longer running out of time, because...

She's back!

Shen Wen’s premonitions are never wrong.

Yuchi Lian returned from his retreat.

Shen Wen was thinking about some things. She also got a piece of news from the surveillance just now. In order to relieve Chu Yanqiu's crisis, the grandfather wanted to clear the next step for Chu Yanqiu. Yuchi Lian might want to control the dangerous things Chu Yanqiu does.

Destroy Prince Rui's hidden troops.

Xiliang City has nothing else but the best network of contacts in the martial arts world. Not to mention searching for a person like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is easy to find a person quickly. Even a plan of breaking up a sneak attack into small pieces like Lord Shen's is easily heard by the martial arts world in Xiliang City.

That Yuchi Lian regarded Chu Yanqiu as her most effective weapon. Since she wanted to destroy the Daju Kingdom first, she would let Chu Yanqiu seize power and military power. All the military power that the little emperor could use was sent to various borders, which was not easy to take away. The ones who controlled the most military forces were Prince Rui and Marquis Shen.

Whether from the perspective of Chu Yanqiu and his grandfather, or from the perspective of Yuchi Lian, the troops of Prince Rui and Shen would not fall into their hands and be used by me, so I have to destroy them all.

Fortunately, the army of Jianghu in Xiliang is immeasurable, and the troops deployed by Yuchi Lian over the years are also immeasurable. The Lord of Xiliang has thought about this very thoroughly. He touched his little grandson whom he loved and cared for, and he felt sorry for him. He did this just because he didn't want his grandson to suffer, even if his grandson, as a knife in Yuchi Lian's hand, had to go to the point of losing humanity and fighting for her to dominate the world.

The Lord of Xiliang City touched Chu Yanqiu's face and said with tears in his eyes, "My dear child, your grandfather is almost dead. He can't do anything for you. Just let him mess around with this matter for once. Fortunately, I know that woman's ambition very well. If she were here in the capital, she would definitely plan to do this. So, your grandfather will save you some effort this time. Isn't it just the rebels? Isn't it the Blood Talisman Army? Don't underestimate the power in your grandfather's hands. He has done everything for you."

At this moment, Shen Wen remembered this old man deeply.

Shen Wen touched her chin, her heart pounding. She was about to fly to Chu Yanqiu. She had a lot to say to Chu Yanqiu.

At this moment, someone suddenly appeared behind her and hugged her waist, making her nervous.

Shen Wen quickly turned around to look at the man.

"Little Emperor? Why are you back? Aren't you attending the morning court?"

The little emperor put his arm around Shen Wen's waist and said in a coquettish tone, "Sister, are you still talking about this? Haven't you noticed what time it is? I've already returned from the morning court. Have you been staring blankly at this window? What's wrong with you? Can you tell me?"

Shen Wen was constantly hugged by him, feeling uncomfortable all over. She slapped the little emperor's hand, trying to slap his dirty hands away, but she slapped it so hard that the little emperor's hand turned red. The little emperor was reluctant to let go.

Shen Wen had no choice but to change his temper. Instead, he put his hand on the little emperor's dirty hand, and clasped the two hands tightly together. Shen Wen put on a gentle look and said, "Since Your Majesty has finished his work, how about I accompany Your Majesty for some snacks?"

The little emperor was really happy this time when his hand was held, and he agreed to the proposal without hesitation.

The two of them sat together at the dining table, eating snacks and feeding each other from time to time. To the palace servants in the room, this was the expression of affection between the emperor and his concubine.

Shen Wen reluctantly accepted the little emperor's two attempts at feeding him, then spoke: "How many troops does Your Majesty have deployed in the capital? I heard that Your Majesty used to trust the Duke of Ji's Mansion. So, have you entrusted all these troops to the Duke of Ji's Mansion?"

The little emperor was very sensitive. When he heard the Duke Ji's Mansion being mentioned, he immediately thought of Chu Yanqiu, and his eyes changed when he looked at Shen Wen.

Shen Wen quickly explained, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. You don't think I mentioned the Duke of Ji's Mansion because I miss Chu Yanqiu, do you? You don't have to think so. I really don't. I actually... I have some ideas about Your Majesty's military power. Your Majesty said two days ago that as long as I stay by your side, you will give me whatever I ask for. Your Majesty, you didn't just say it casually at the time and have already forgotten what you said."

The young emperor asked, "Why did Sister Shen ask me for military power?"
