I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 175 You are actually in front of the spirit of the emperor...

The moment the word "Shen Lang" reached his ears, Yu Wenzhi was stunned as if struck by lightning, and he seemed to be under a spell and unable to move.

At the same time, the other members of the Yuwen clan who had witnessed the thrilling scene that day were also stunned in astonishment.

Even those who have not seen him in person have heard from others how powerful this person is.

Everyone's heart began to beat uncontrollably, as if it was about to jump out of their throat.

Everyone looked around the spacious hall in horror and found that they had a large number of people and seemed to have an absolute advantage.

However, when one thinks of Shen Lang's unfathomable martial arts and great reputation, even if everyone rushes up together, it would probably be difficult to cut him into pieces.

But if you try your best, you may be able to buy yourself a precious chance to escape.

Yuwen Zhiji, who had not yet fully recovered, lowered his voice and asked in a trembling tone, "Brother, what exactly is the purpose of his visit this time?"

Yuwen Chengdu, standing beside him, also had a serious expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Should I go gather more people to reinforce us right now?"

Since reaching an agreement with the Dongming faction, Yuwen Chengdu has regained his freedom.

But his heart was filled with hatred for Shen Lang, who had once easily captured him.

Yu Wenzhi frowned and fell into deep thought.

He racked his brains, trying to figure out the conspiracy behind Shen Lang's uninvited visit.

However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he could not comprehend the mystery.

All eyes in the hall were focused on Yu Wenzhi, and everyone was eagerly hoping that he could quickly come up with a plan and solution.

Yu Wenzhi took a deep breath, nodded slightly to his brothers, and then glanced at everyone present.

After a brief pause, he instructed the butler beside him: "Please come in!"

The butler who received the order did not dare to neglect it. He immediately bowed and agreed, then turned around and walked out the door quickly.

Quiet.

There was deathly silence in the hall.

After a while, the sound of hooves and wheels rolling on stone slabs was heard.

Everyone's eyes turned to the door at the same time.

I saw an exquisitely decorated carriage slowly driving up to the gate, but without stopping at all, it drove straight in.

Seeing this scene, the Yuwen brothers frowned.

I just felt that this person was extremely rude, actually driving a carriage into someone else's house.

But without Yu Wenzhi's orders, no one dared to move.

The sound of wheels rolling over the door sill was heard again, but what was strange was that there was no driver on the carriage.

The curtains of the carriage were also drawn low, making it impossible to tell whether there was a person or something terrifying hidden inside.

The horse slowly stopped.

But the car was shaking violently and there were strange noises coming from it.

Although the sound was suppressed, Yu Wenzhi was a martial arts expert and he could immediately tell that it was the sound of lovemaking.

He felt more and more disgusted, but he still forced himself to endure it.

The violent shaking lasted for about a cup of tea before it stopped, and the sound also stopped.

After about a cup of tea, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.

A young man in white clothes got out of the car.

Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, his appearance and temperament were unmatched. He was none other than Shen Lang, who displayed his might in the Jiangdu Imperial Palace.

Shen Lang smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "Brother Yuwen, do you remember the agreement we made? Although Shen Lang despises the Yuwen clan's methods, we still have an agreement, so I came to visit you. I hope you will forgive my intrusion."

As he said this, he bowed deeply, his expression very respectful.

The more polite and considerate he was, the more people in the hall suspected that he must have some hidden secret.

Yu Wenzhi gave a secret look, and Yu Wenchengdu quietly slipped away and took people to check if there was anything unusual in the Yu Wen family.

Yu Wenhuaji then returned the greeting with a bow, saying, "I was not aware of the great honor that Brother Shen had brought to us. I am sorry that the Yuwen family failed to welcome you. May I ask how I may be of service to Brother Shen?"

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said softly, "Have you really forgotten this matter so easily?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently raised his hand and lifted the curtain of the gorgeous carriage.

Immediately afterwards, a hand as white and delicate as mutton-fat jade reached out from the car and gently placed it on his hand.

As the hand appeared, a graceful figure slowly walked out of the carriage.

When everyone looked closely, they couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that the person who slowly stepped out of the car was not someone else, but the stunningly beautiful Empress Xiao!
Although Yang Guang called her Concubine Xiao, she was actually the queen.

Although Empress Xiao's cheeks were slightly red at this moment, as if stained with a charming blush, and her hair on both sides of her temples was slightly messy, her peerless beauty and unique temperament still made people recognize her as Concubine Xiao at a glance.

Shen Lang turned to look at everyone and spoke again, "When I left the palace that day, I promised Yang Guang that I would take good care of Concubine Xiao and Princess Nanyang. So I came here today to ask the Yuwen clan for Princess Nanyang."

He added: "If the Yuwen clan doesn't understand what we're saying, I, Shen Lang, also know a little bit about martial arts."

Empress Xiao, standing nearby, mustered her courage and addressed the Yuwen clan in a delicate voice, "Yuwen Huaji, you, a traitor, have dared to commit such an unforgivable crime as regicide. But today, I am not going to argue with you about this matter. You must return Princess Nanyang to me immediately!"

At first, everyone in the Yuwen clan looked nervous and suspicious.

Everyone was secretly wondering what secrets were hidden in this carriage.

Maybe there is some terrifying and powerful weapon hidden inside; or perhaps some ferocious poisonous snakes and beasts will suddenly jump out; or even maybe an important figure from the Yuwen clan was captured by Shen Lang and hidden in the car as a hostage.

However, no one expected that the person who would eventually get off the carriage would be Empress Xiao!

This result was beyond the expectations of everyone present.

Yu Wenzhi couldn't believe it. "Are you really here just for Princess Nanyang?"

He wondered to himself how such a person could go to war just over a woman.

"Could it be that you hope that this young master has other purposes?" Shen Lang said proudly, "Yuwen Huaji, stop stalling for time. This young master does not have that much patience to deal with you. Either hand over Princess Nanyang immediately, or today will be the day when your Yuwen clan will be destroyed!"

Yu Wenzhi didn't know whether he was telling the truth or a lie, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Just as he was racking his brains for a countermeasure, a roar suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Mr. Shen, you are too arrogant. How dare you say that you want to destroy my Yuwen clan? It's simply a pipe dream! Soldiers, listen to my order, attack together and kill this beast for our lord!"

Before he finished speaking, shouts of killing were heard in the arena.

I saw many soldiers of the Yuwen clan roaring in unison, and drawing their long swords, short swords, axes, hooks and forks.

In an instant, the entire hall was filled with the flashing of swords and the shadow of knives, and the murderous aura was so terrifying.

Then shouts were heard from the high wall, and at the same time, many people appeared from the roof and walls, all with bows and arrows drawn, aiming at Shen Lang and the other two in the yard.

Empress Xiao had never seen such a scene before. She had been kidnapped by Shen Lang and was immediately trembling with fear. She whispered, "Young Master, please run away quickly. Don't worry about me. With my current status, they will not dare to do anything to me."

Shen Lang shook his head and squinted at Yu Wenzhi: "Go ahead. I haven't killed anyone today, so I'll kill a few first to satisfy my hunger."

In fact, he didn't want to kill anyone now, nor did he want Princess Nanyang to know that he was a martial arts expert.

"Stop!" Yu Wenzhi shouted immediately, "Get out of here!"

After hearing his order, the soldiers on the tall building immediately retreated.

The soldiers in the hall also put down their weapons.

Yu Wenzhi turned to Yu Wenzhi and said, "Go and invite Princess Nanyang out."

"But as for my second brother..." Yuwen Zhiji hesitated.

Yu Wenzhi whispered, "How can a woman compare to us, the Yuwen clan? Besides, we are now the murderers of her father. I'm afraid she would rather kill us than not."

"I understand." Yuwen Zhiji nodded and hurried away.

Yu Wenzhi looked at Shen Lang again, "Brother Shen, you have come a long way, why don't you have a cup of tea first?"

"Great." Shen Lang was not afraid. "I'm very thirsty."

He took Empress Xiao's hand and said, "Your Majesty, please."

Empress Xiao took a deep breath and walked into the hall with Shen Lang.

Then she said to Yu Wenhuaji, "Yu Wenhuaji, where is the late emperor's body? I want to collect it for him!"

"You can collect the body of the tyrant, but hand over the imperial seal. We want to appoint another wise ruler." Yu Wenzhi said coldly.

Empress Xiao said coldly, "How can I, a woman, know where the imperial seal is?"

"Yu Wenzhi, don't say anything." Shen Lang knocked on the table. "This tea has started to get cold. If it gets completely cold, you will also get cold before I even meet Princess Nanyang."

Yu Wenzhi's face was gloomy and he stopped talking.

He was really afraid that he would be killed soon. Fortunately, Princess Nanyang was brought out by Yuwen Zhiji not long after.

Although her eyes were red, it could not hide her beauty.

She lacks some of the mature charm compared to Empress Xiao.

When Empress Xiao saw her, she immediately stood up and said excitedly: "Nanyang..."

"Mother." Princess Nanyang also burst into tears.

"Nanyang, I'm sorry for wronging you. Don't cry, let's go." Empress Xiao didn't want to cry in front of Yu Wenzhi. After wiping away Princess Nanyang's tears, she got up and left.

The people from the Yuwen clan immediately looked at Yuwen Huaji, wanting to know whether he wanted to capture the mother and daughter.

One of them is the queen and the other is the eldest princess. If they are captured, it will definitely have an unexpected effect.

Yu Wenzhi himself was also thinking about it, but only for a moment, then he shook his head secretly.

There are experts present today.

Then he raised his hands and said, "Let them go."

Shen Lang suddenly spoke up, "Brother Yuwen, the Queen just said she wants to bury Brother Yang's body. Didn't you hear that? Not only does she want to bury Brother Yang's body, but she also needs to gather mourning clothes, prepare ceremonial guards, and hold a proper funeral."

Yang Guang's wife and daughter are now on his side, so this face-saving project has to be done.

Not to mention, if you want to be pretty, you have to be in filial piety.

Yu Wenzhi's face grew increasingly gloomy, but thinking of this orphan girl and widowed mother, who couldn't accomplish anything, he nodded and said, "Okay!"

With Shen Lang in charge, even though the Yuwen clan was filled with anger, they didn't dare to do anything.

The group brought the coffin back to the palace. Under Shen Lang's arrangement, they found Yang Guang's body, buried it, and gathered people in mourning clothes and prepared ceremonial guards to hold a funeral for him.

The funeral was held that night.

Empress Xiao and Princess Nanyang both wore mourning clothes and burned paper for Yang Guang.

Although the two of them were dressed in plain clothes and wore no makeup, it could not conceal their natural beauty.

Shen Lang walked into the mourning hall and respectfully burned incense to Yang Guang.

Then he said seriously, "Brother Yang, although we met by chance, I will definitely take good care of my sister-in-law and Princess Nanyang for you. If you break this oath, I will strike you with lightning."

"Thank you, Master Shen, for arranging all this for my father," Princess Nanyang said gratefully, "otherwise, it would be difficult for us mother and daughter to do it."

Empress Xiao had already introduced some of Shen Lang's identity to her. When she learned that it was him who rescued those concubines and saw him busy with her father's funeral arrangements, she was naturally extremely grateful.

Shen Lang sighed, "Although Brother Yang is regarded by the world as incompetent and unjust, I don't think he is incompetent. He just takes too big a step and is so arrogant that he thinks he can do everything well without considering the feelings of the people at all."

This is not a compliment. Yang Guang was in power for only 13 years, but he accomplished many great things that many emperors could not accomplish in decades or even longer.

It's just that being too hasty in doing things will only lead to a waste of time and money.

It is precisely because there is so much work to do that the people are always in a state of fatigue and their lives are miserable.

"Let future generations judge the merits and demerits of my father." Princess Nanyang said sadly.

Empress Xiao said, "Nanyang, you should go and rest first. I'm sure you haven't slept well these past few days."

Princess Nanyang wanted to go to the bathroom, so she said, "I'm going out for a walk."

After she left, Shen Langxi came to Empress Xiao and put his hands around her neck.

Empress Xiao quickly retreated, saying, "My lord, I am grateful to you and owe you my service, but your Majesty's body is still warm, how can I offer myself to your bed? I hope you will show me mercy, and after your Majesty's burial, I will not hesitate to be humble."

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears.

Shen Lang said seriously, "Brother Yang's body will be buried tomorrow. We did it in front of him when he was still alive. Tonight, we need the Queen's permission to fly together."

As he said this, he pushed Empress Xiao onto the altar.

Princess Nanyang had just returned from the toilet and was about to step in when she suddenly heard a sound coming from inside. She stopped and peeked outside.

After seeing it clearly, he was shocked and angry, half ashamed and half hateful.

What shocked him was that his mother was defiled; what angered him was that he was a good man but turned out to be so licentious; what was shameful was that the scenery before him was a bit dazzling; what he hated was that his mother had surrendered before his father's body was even cold.

In a rage, he lifted the door curtain, rushed into the house, and ran straight to Shen Lang. He raised his hand and a three-inch sharp blade flashed, stabbing towards Shen Lang.

Although Shen Lang was comforting the widow in front of the coffin, he also noticed the arrival of Princess Nanyang.

He grabbed Princess Nanyang's wrist, and she groaned in pain. With a clang, the dagger fell to the ground.

He cursed angrily, "My father's body is still warm, and you actually did this in front of his spirit. You are nothing but a wicked villain!"

When Empress Xiao was caught in the act, she lowered her head in shame and dared not look up.

"Evil villain?" Shen Lang asked in surprise, "Princess, why do you say that? Before Brother Yang died, he asked me to have sex with the Queen in front of him. Now that he has unfortunately passed away, I am only keeping my promise to take good care of the Queen, so I am doing this in front of his coffin."

"You, you..." Princess Nanyang was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

After being caught by Princess Nanyang, Empress Xiao had no intention of continuing.

Just listen to the bang.

Empress Xiao hurriedly arranged her clothes while trembling, saying, "How dare Nanyang come and assassinate the young master? Why don't you apologize to him quickly, and I will spare your life!"

Princess Nanyang said angrily, "If I valued my life, I would be like you, forgetting my honor and shame, and doing such a thing in front of my father's spirit. Now that Nanyang has been captured, I can kill her if I want to. No need to say more."

Hearing her tone, Empress Xiao hurriedly pleaded with Shen Lang, "Please, for my sake, spare Nanyang this time."

"Princess Nanyang, do you really think I'm willing to do such a thing?" Shen Lang sighed and took out a letter from his pocket. "Brother Yang treated me like a brother. Not only did he let me take care of the Queen during his lifetime, but before he died, he also asked me to take good care of you and wrote a letter to entrust it to me."

The letter was indeed written by Yang Guang, but the content was fictitious.

Princess Nanyang took it and examined it carefully. It was indeed her father's handwriting and was stamped with a seal, but the content inside was horrifying.

He actually asked her and the Queen to serve Shen Lang in order to protect the other bloodline of the Yang family and avenge him.

"This is impossible..." Princess Nanyang's hands trembled as she held the letter. She couldn't believe what she saw.

Shen Lang said hypocritically, "I also think it's inappropriate, but Brother Yang insisted on writing it this way. I'm alone, so how can I avenge him?"

Princess Nanyang clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.

Thinking that it took so many days for someone to come and collect his father's body after his father's death, his hatred for Yu Wenzhi grew even stronger.

She bit her lip and said, "If I do as the letter says, can you avenge my father?"

"This..." Shen Lang hesitated for a while before saying, "Yu Wenzhi is a skilled martial artist, and his men are strong and powerful. This will be a bit difficult."

"A bit difficult?" Princess Nanyang stared at him. "So you can do it? I'll serve you, and you go help me kill Yu Wenzhi."

Empress Xiao was shocked and was about to speak when Shen Lang hugged Princess Nanyang.

"Since it is the princess's request, I will complete it."

Empress Xiao was secretly anxious. Although the thing had been done, she really couldn't accept being with Nanyang in front of the late emperor's spirit.

Then he said to Shen Lang: "Why don't you go back to the bedroom and leave me here."

"If I go to the bedroom, how can I prove to Brother Yang that I am working for him?" Shen Lang said immediately, "If Brother Yang knew this, he would surely smile in his grave."

When a palace maid loyal to Yang Guang was about to add oil to the lamp, she heard a sound inside the mourning hall and stopped at the door to peek.

When they saw clearly what was going on inside, they were both shocked and happy. They were shocked that even the queen and princess could not escape being defiled; they were happy that this man was so licentious that they would not have to worry about losing their jobs in the future.

Although the palace maid was thinking about all sorts of things in her mind, her eyes refused to leave and she kept staring at the room.

The palace maid was very embarrassed by the spring scenes inside, so she gently closed the door and quietly retreated.

At dawn the next day, Shen Lang, Empress Xiao and Princess Nanyang woke up from their sweet dreams.

Empress Xiao said softly, "I have already served the young master. I hope you will not break your promise and protect the bloodline of the Yang family to comfort the late emperor. Please also bury the late emperor's body as soon as possible."

"And I have to kill Yu Wenhuaji to avenge my father!" Princess Nanyang gritted her teeth. "Yu Wenhuaji slaughtered almost all the men of my Yang family. I want Yu Wenhuaji to pay for his blood debt with blood, and I want his entire clan to be exterminated."

Shen Lang nodded. "Please comfort me, my two beauties. I will do everything as instructed. However, Yu Wenhuaji committed treason, which is intolerable to both humans and gods. His entire clan must be exterminated. The princess's son must also be punished according to the law. If you cannot give him up, you can keep him."

Princess Nanyang and Yuwen Shiji had a son named Yuwen Zenshi.

Princess Nanyang was silent for a long time, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes. She slowly said, "Since you know the Great Cause Law, why do you need to ask about this matter?"

Since she said so, Shen Lang said: "In that case, I will do as you say."

As they left the mourning hall together, several palace maids and eunuchs bowed down and shouted "Long live the queen, long live the princess!"

When Empress Xiao and Princess Nanyang heard this, their faces turned red and they felt very ashamed.
