Chapter 2112: The Dongsang Kingdom

Jun Linyuan said, “He’s protected by so many people. He’ll live. I’m not going.”

Feng Wu thought, “If you don’t go, I can’t go. What about my tenth trial?”

Hence, Feng Wu gave Jun Linyuan a pleading look.

Jun Linyuan looked at Feng Wu in resignation. “Do you really want to go so badly?”

Feng Wu said, “Yes!”

Having no other choice, Jun Linyuan had to go with her.

In the middle courtyard where Emperor Wu lived.

Empress Dugu was keeping Emperor Wu company, and the atmosphere was quite subdued.

The floor was covered with broken cups, shattered chairs, and a screen that had been knocked over. It was a mess.

“Father?” Seeing Emperor Wu’s dark face, Feng Wu frowned and asked Gongshu Ji, the captain of Emperor Wu’s guards, “What happened?”

Gongshu Ji said solemnly, “Ten men in black cloaks were waiting inside the courier station when we arrived. They were very good at hiding, and our men didn’t notice them.”

His voice was filled with frustration. “We were caught off guard when they attacked. They were so fast that there was little we could do.”

Emperor Wu steadied Empress Dugu and said, “I have to thank the empress. If she hadn’t warned me and shielded me with her own body…”

It seemed that Empress Dugu was injured. Blood soaked the cloth over her shoulder.

That attack had been aimed at Emperor Wu’s heart.

So, Empress Dugu had indeed saved the emperor.

Feng Wu couldn’t help but look at Empress Dugu.

She was impressed.

The day before, Empress Dugu had been furious about what happened between Emperor Wu and Ranmil, and she looked like she wanted to run away from her husband.

But it only took her one day to calm down, and now, she was already trying to win Emperor Wu back.

This woman was a chameleon!

Feng Wu glanced at Empress Dugu before asking, “Are you sure that the assassins were from the Dongsang Kingdom?”

Gongshu Ji nodded. “Their great concealment skills are enough to prove that they’re ninjas from the Dongsang Kingdom!

“We checked the calluses on the hands of the dead bodies. It’s obvious that they usually wield katanas.

“Therefore, I’m sure that the assassins were from the Dongsang Kingdom.”

Emperor Wu said angrily, “Are they going to revolt again?!”

Everyone fell silent.

The entire Junwu Empire knew how savage the Dongsang Kingdom was.

They had committed heinous crimes in the Junwu Empire 13 years ago.

Dongsang Kingdom was less than one-tenth of the size of the Junwu Empire.

However, the Dongsang Kingdom was very powerful.

They had too little land and too many people. They experienced constant natural disasters, and took death more lightly than the people of other countries.

They had a sense of national cohesion that united them and enabled them to fight as one.

No matter how large their population was, if they didn’t work together, they wouldn’t be able to achieve anything.

However, a few people working together could become a formidable force!

13 years ago, the Dongsang Kingdom was driven by such a force and tore through the defense line of the Junwu Empire. After that, they quickly reached every corner of the empire…
