The Destruction

Chapters 10. A Tunnel Inside the Palace

In the evening the emperor walked to where his clothes were, after which the emperor looked around. He had to make sure no one was watching him, after the emperor's safety pressed objects such as protruding bulges (buttons) on the wall near the pile of his clothes were located.

A few minutes later the wall suddenly moved on its own and shifted from its place. Can be seen now there is a tunnel-like road that is usually found in the cave. Now it is also behind the shifting wall earlier.

The emperor entered the tunnel, a few minutes later he finally arrived in a large room.

The emperor could see many people inside and just wait for some time until they gathered all together. After half an hour, the people were all gathered.

This room was what the emperor meant as a secret room that had been discussed with his shadow cultivators to gather tonight.

Your Majesty"

Mister"

My brother"

There were various sounds coming out from the mouths of the people in the room, after the emperor arrived in front of them.

Calm down, let's sit down first" said the emperor.

They ended up sitting in their own places. After a moment of silence the emperor continued his goal of gathering them all here.

What do you think of my plan" said the emperor.

According to this lowly servant, his noble plan is very good for the advancement of the song empire" said one of the people who was in front of the current emperor.

Right my brother, I saw that young man had no bad intentions on all of us in the palace" said the friend next to whom the man spoke earlier.

He considered the emperor his brother. Because the emperor had married his only brother back then who was a servant in this palace.

We wait for another opinion, not just the two of you" said the emperor while thinking of something.

I also approve of your majesty, as I can judge someone by the skill set I have. That the young man was very kind and still had a pure nature" said the person who was among them all.

Of course I believe in my expertise, because it is never wrong to judge people" he continued.

Yes sir, I also agree to this long-term plan that you are planning" said another person.

Eventually they all agreed to the plan that the emperor had planned. After that the emperor sent them all away to continue their respective work.

The emperor also left and went back to his room. Upon arriving at the room the emperor smiled with satisfaction because his plan was approved by the most trustworthy people.

The entrance to the secret room was finally closed back into the wall of the room that no road was visible, and others would never have thought that behind the wall was a secret passage.

The emperor recalled all the shadow cultivators in the Song empire.

All shadow cultivators swore an oath of allegiance to him without coercion or he promised them a treasure or high standing.

They came by themselves to the palace. To meet him and make a vow of loyalty. They promised to guard and protect the song empire by betting their own lives without having to get paid.

Of course the emperor accepted them and gave them wages as the salaries of those who worked as shadow cultivators in his palace. It is impossible to receive the help of others without giving a reply even if they are its own people.

He is not one who is infatuated with wealth, throne and power. For him if the people live a prosperous and happy life it is a pride for him who has succeeded in becoming a just and wise leader.

And to the shadow cultivators, they were extremely proud of being able to work under the rule of the song yang, who was none other than their current emperor.

Because the emperor did not distinguish people by status or degree. According to the emperor they were all the same. Want to be nobles or commoners they are all the same in the eyes of the current emperor.

Fair, firm, authoritative and always giving aid to the poor, handing out free food every week to beggars, and never raising taxes for the underprivileged. that was the thought of all of them being shadow cultivators.

Naturally they would not regret being subordinates of the emperor. Even among them there are those who swear allegiance to the emperor by performing blood slave rituals.

Useful for a time if they broke his vow, not only would he die but the entire blood-related family with the cultivator who performed the ritual would all die.

It can be said cruel. But it was not the emperor who wanted that, the emperor simply obeyed the will of his shadow cultivators.

As long as it didn't bring any harm to his empire it wasn't a bad thing for them shadow cultivators to do.

In the morning, it was still visible in the morning. All the servants passed by to prepare a simple event.

No matter what their leader planned, no one knew about it. Because they only carry out orders from the emperor.

After a few hours the event began which only attended a few people. That consisted of emperors, and all shadow cultivators only.

The nobles who served as ministers, General, Commander-in-Chief all were not present because it had been told before them that the emperor wanted to celebrate the return of his daughter alone without anyone disturbing.

So that this event is not suspected by palace officials who served. Because the emperor had not fully believed in all those who worked in his palace, except those who were shadow cultivators.

After a few minutes two men dressed in red were seen heading to where the emperor was.

...(.(.Illustrations)...

Wait for du-" said one of the red-clothed people who was none other than zong fengyan.

Already silent" snapped the person next to him who was both dressed in red. That person was next to zong fengyan who was none other than that figure was song yiyi.

Zong fengyan fell silent after his sentence was cut off by song yiyi in a voice louder than him.

He was confused by what happened this morning. Early in the morning he was woken by the waiter to take a bath, after bathing he was dressed in red clothes. The servants also put on hair and face zong fengyan.

But ak-" said zong fengyan again after being silent for quite a while.

It was silent, and follow the show to the end" the voice of song yiyi cut off zong fengyan's sentence again.

Zong fengyan immediately pouted and fell silent. He was so upset from yesterday always not getting his turn to talk.

Half an hour later the show was over. After zong fengyan and song yiyi performed the oath of heaven and earth. Song yiyi immediately left her place and was escorted by the female servant to her room.

While zong fengyan was still silent on the spot as he was confused by the actual circumstances that were going on.

The emperor who saw zong fengyan was silent and looked puzzled finally decided to approach him.

Hahaha, this is what I mean by the gift I entrusted to master" the emperor said with a laugh approaching zong fengyan.

Zong fengyan immediately looked towards the emperor while displaying a twitching lip shape that he was looking at the ridiculous behavior of a ruler.

It's the master to the room just now, for fun" said the emperor who patted zong fengyan on the shoulder.

After saying that, the emperor immediately left the room. Leaving zong fengyan and some servants.

Zong fengyan also went to the room in between by the three female servants. But the direction of his room was different from the room he had previously occupied. He was sure that the room he was visiting was the room of song yiyi.

He now understood that he was being toyed with by the emperor about a very valuable gift for the song empire.

...****************...

Song yiyi after entering inside the room she just sat on the edge of her bed. He was still wearing the same clothes as before in red.

While waiting for someone to enter the same room as him. He remembered last night his father met him at midnight.

And relayed a request by displaying a face he had never seen before. Therefore he could not refuse and finally accepted the request of the father.

He knew this was probably his father's best choice. Because her father had never begged her like that all along.

Kreeeeek

Song yiyi's daydream broke because the door of her room was opened by a young man. The young man walked towards her.Seeing that song yiyi immediately stood up. Be prepared to let the head covering cloth covering his head be opened by the young man.
