The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 98: Half is Nan Tang, the other half is Gu Song

The city of Yejing was in chaos.

Because of the explosion of Mansudae, the emperor, empress and ministers were all burned to death.

Xiao Qian took responsibility and reappointed officials to restructure the court.

Xiao Baojing was extremely tired after traveling back and forth. He was held in Chao Yuan's arms and finally fell asleep due to exhaustion.

However, because he was worried about Shang's illness and alcohol, he woke up after only two hours of sleep.

"Where am I?"

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw the mess around her. The altar was in disarray, the statues collapsed, and the walls were covered with messy graffiti written in charcoal.

It was the dilapidated temple she was familiar with...

But what was strange was that the ruined temple seemed to be split in half by a huge long sword that fell from the sky, and the other half disappeared!

Only half of the temple is left!

She got up and walked out of the ruined temple, her pupils trembling slightly.

The ruined temple faces a street, and the houses on both sides of the street are also strangely only half of them are left.

The force was so strong and abnormal that it split all the houses in the middle without bias, and then things in the middle such as beds, doors, pots and pans, etc. were also split into two halves!
She ran out into the street and looked around.

As far as the eye could see, all the buildings and houses were split in half, even the magnificent imperial palace in the distance was split in two, which looked ridiculous!
In addition to her, many people gathered in the streets and alleys.

They were not divided in half.

They talked about it: "I went back to my parents' home, and when I came back in the morning, I found that only half of my husband's house was left. My husband and my parents-in-law were gone, but my brother-in-law and sister-in-law were still there!"

"Don't even mention it! The person living next to my house is the prime minister of the dynasty. This is a powerful and prestigious family with hundreds of people. Half of them disappeared overnight, including the people and the houses! Even half of the animals in the backyard disappeared! When my wife got up in the morning, she looked through the window and saw that only half of their young lady's boudoir was left, and the maids were busy drawing the curtains to cover it!"

"Haha, you know that temple on the outskirts of the city, right? The Changle Tower and the Weiyang Tower in the temple are exactly the same. I heard someone say this morning that the Changle Tower is still there, but the Weiyang Tower is gone! Isn't that strange?"

"..."

They discussed in horror what had happened last night.

Xiao Baojing listened carefully, and was suddenly pulled behind by a red thread.

She was forced to lean against Chao Yuan's arms, looking up at his face wearing a painted fox mask, and couldn't help but say, "I'm not a real puppet, you are not allowed to pull these red threads at will!"

Chao Yuan said nothing and carried her back to the dilapidated temple.

Stepping over the threshold, Xiao Baojing frowned and said, "You and Shang Bingjiu tore the Pangu Banner, so the Southern Tang Dynasty also split into two, right? One half is still the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the other half of the houses and people went to the Gu Song Dynasty, ruled by Gu Zhenliang..."

It's like two countries in parallel time and space.

But the trouble is, as a result, countless people's families have been broken up, wives and children have been separated, and everyone's houses are still incomplete!
What is this?

Chao Yuan handed her a bamboo tube of water and some wild fruits: "I went to the outskirts of the city, and the mountains and rivers were divided into two halves."

Xiao Baojing took it and imagined a mountain being split into two halves, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

She asked with concern: "What should we do now? We can't keep splitting up like this, right? Aren't you very powerful? Do you have any good ideas?"

Chao Yuan played with the remaining half of the Pangu Banner and said, "Xiao Nanjia and I are wanted by the government. We are busy taking care of ourselves, so how can we have the time to care about these things?"

"Oh, yeah!" Xiao Baojing was in a trance. "You two blew up the Wanshou Terrace. You will definitely be wanted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... By the way, where is Xiao Nanjia?"

"He ran away a long time ago." Chao Yuan put away the Pangu Banner, gritted his teeth, and raised his sleeves to cover his face sadly, "What a pity that I have been planning for so many years! I should have been the first one to devour the dragon vein..."

Devouring the Dragon Vein...

When Xiao Baojing heard this, he suddenly remembered the scene he saw in the Gu Song Dynasty -

On the sky, a huge black dog shadow lowered its head and slowly gnawed at the mountain range.

So, what the dog shadow was gnawing on was not the mountain range, but the dragon vein?

——I made a deal with Gu Zhenliang to help him overthrow the Southern Tang Dynasty and make him the emperor of Gu Song.

——He came to me last night and asked me to fulfill my promise. I told him that the emperor’s words were as good as gold, and my words were bound by law. He could take the dragon vein if he wanted it, and then he left. Trade, country, dragon vein...

The deal between the peddler and Gu Zhenliang was to exchange the country for the dragon vein.

So, the dog shadow that gnawed the dragon vein that night was actually...

The girl's mind was in a mess.

The dog shadow that appeared in the Julu County Governor's Mansion, the dog beast that devoured the bronze sun on the Wanshou Terrace, the two similar fox faces, both of which can use red silk thread...

A bold guess suddenly emerged in Xiao Baojing's mind - it couldn't be that Chao Yuan and the peddler were actually the same person?
She shook her head quickly.

impossible.

The peddler doesn’t have split personality!

Besides, the peddler is a very good person. He would never do something like swallowing the sun and destroying the world!

The peddler must have wanted to protect the dragon vein but was swallowed by Chao Yuan, so she saw Chao Yuan sleeping soundly with a red lantern hanging under the orange tree of Gu Song Dynasty.

She pushed Chao Yuan away in disgust: "Stay away from me!"

Chao Yuan was startled, and the painted fox mask became even sadder: "Aren't you my baby?"

"I am not! You are not allowed to mention that name again, and you are not allowed to pull my red silk thread again!"

Xiao Baojing shouted at him and stumbled out of the ruined temple.

But she had nowhere to go.

Xiao Qian was busy restoring the country in the palace, so she couldn't see him at all. She also knew that Xiao Qian had no time to take care of her.

The people in Yejing City were busy repairing their houses. Torches and lanterns were lit everywhere. Even if they had lost their loved ones, they still had familiar neighbors. Women cooked big pots of rice in the streets and alleys, and men worked shirtless all night long. The sound of clanging was everywhere.

Xiao Baojing returned to the dilapidated temple in a daze. Chao Yuan had disappeared and there was no sign of fire in the temple.

She looked at the temple eaves that was split in half.

In the past, the peddler would hang a red lantern there, but now there is neither a red lantern nor him...

She thought that she would not be so lonely if she returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the fact was that she was still alone.

My shoulders suddenly felt lighter.

She looked down, her red thread broke, and one arm fell to the ground.

Her eyes reddened and she picked up the arm silently.

There was a haystack in the corner of the dilapidated temple. She crawled into the haystack and buried herself deeply in it.

Xiao Baojing didn't know how long he had slept.

She was awakened by a group of shrill laughter.

She opened her eyes and saw that the hay covering her had been lifted up. Several little boys were playing with her fallen arm. They tossed it back and forth like a sepak takraw ball.

"What are you doing?!" she said angrily, "Give my arm back to me!"

"What's wrong with playing?" A little boy held the arm, looking down at her, his voice still a little childish, "You are a goblin, my father said goblins are bad and should be beaten to death. Let me tell you, we must be soldiers in the future, so we decided to get rid of the harm for the people, and we will beat you to death today!"

The entire Ye capital was in chaos, and even the people's hearts were in confusion.

In just a day or two, the people's anger had piled up into a mountain; even the children were infected and were in desperate need of an outlet.

Xiao Baojing wanted to resist, but his body was at its limit and the red threads in the joints began to break.

Countless punches and kicks landed on her.

It seems that the more you bully this little monster, the more likely it is that he will become a mighty soldier defending his country.
