Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 351 This continent will no longer be peaceful.

"The toxins in his body have been mostly cleared, but since the deadly poison had invaded his internal organs, his vital energy cannot be easily restored."

At this time, did the emperor not consider that his son might not be able to withstand such a dangerous situation?

Why is there such strong suspicion towards Consort Yu's maternal clan?

"Ah Li, if you're worried, why don't you take some men to help us?" Chu Xiaohe also had a good impression of Prince Mo.

After all that they've been through, even Chu Xiaohe felt that Prince Mo would be the right person for A-Li.

The two of them will most likely be together in the future, and even if they are not, Mo Wang already holds a significant place in A Li's heart.

Chu Xiaohe and his aunts basically regarded Lu Beimo as half a son-in-law of their Duke's Mansion.

"The palace has just experienced a catastrophe, and we don't know if there are any remnants of those people. Everyone in the palace is in danger now. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, you must stay in the capital for the time being to protect the royal family, especially the Emperor."

"I'm afraid the Emperor will summon you to the palace first thing tomorrow morning to ask about your next plans. Brother, you don't need to think about anything else right now. Just think about what arrangements to make next."

"But the Dragon Guard is not our final destination, Ali. Didn't you say that becoming the commander of the Dragon Guard was just a stepping stone in your plan?"

Their ultimate goal is to bring the Chu family army under their control, but now they are spending all their time and energy on the work of the Dragon Guard.

Sometimes, Chu Xiaohe didn't even know why he was so busy every day.

After experiencing so much, he is probably, perhaps, possibly no longer as loyal to the royal family as before.

Human nature is treacherous. If it weren't for the Duke's mansion, there would be no place in this imperial city worth staying for him.

"Brother, the Emperor will not let us take the Chu family army away easily."

Chu Yueli knew his feelings; the royal family had disappointed him.

The elder brother preferred to return to the border town and become a general guarding the city. There, he wouldn't have to figure out people's hearts or deal with so many conspiracies and tricks. He could just risk his life to protect his homeland.

He was a pure military general.

"In recent years, there has been turmoil between countries, and the entire Lingzhou continent is in chaos. At present, Dongling seems to be much more stable because the War God Prince Jin is in the south, my maternal grandfather is in the southern border, and the Mo King is in the northern border. But I'm afraid this peace won't last long."

"Why?" Chu Xiaohe didn't understand. It seemed that the surrounding countries weren't experiencing much turmoil.

Why did Tuoba Yi rush back to the country? He didn't even care about his seventh sister.

Chu Yueli's question made Chu Xiaohe suddenly realize: "Something happened in Dongzhou?"

"It seems there's been some trouble within the royal family; things are about to get chaotic." Turbulence within a nation's royal family is bound to cause unrest throughout the country.

With the Eastern Zhou in chaos, the Western Zhou and the Northern and Southern Zhou would certainly not stand idly by. The powers of various states had already infiltrated the region, and with this chaos, war between states would easily break out.

Dongling and Dongzhou have always maintained friendly relations. Now that Dongzhou is in turmoil, should Dongling help or not?

If they help, they will be implicated; if they don't help, when the Eastern Zhou recovers, the first thing they will deal with might not be the Eastern Ling.

This continent will no longer be at peace; war will spread rapidly from the chaos of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
