A Journey Against the World
Chapter 123
Xuilin Kingdom was horrendous with the return of Emperor Feng Kim to the throne of his Emperor, Feng Xian as Emperor also declared himself resigned from his post and returned to be the Great General of the kingdom. This announcement made any party shocked to hear it.
In the main hall, Feng Xian removed his crown and placed it back on the head of his elder brother, Feng Kim. Although Feng Xian's actions were too humble, but who could stop the Emperor's wishes before he removed his position.
After Feng Kim's crown and robe were put on, all the officials fell silent, this incident was too quick and confusing. What reason did Feng Xian resign from his post? Though they knew, Feng Xian was quite good at his job.
One of the eunuchs approached Feng Kim, he was Eunuch Lu, the Eunuch who used to be beside Feng Xian during his time as Emperor. Eunuch Lu came along with one of the servants, who carried an established one containing silver armor and a sword.
Eunuch Lu and the servant stopped right before the Emperor, prostrating and saluting the majesty of the figure before him.
Feng Kim took the silver armor and gave it to Feng Xian, "With this, I declare, Feng Xian is back to being a Great General." Not wanting to say that his sister dropped out of office, but changed office. Feng Xian received a battle suit with one knee on the floor, as the knights revered their leader.
Seeing Feng Xian receive that battle armor, all the officials as well as those who witnessed it were shocked as they closed their mouths, as if not believing what they saw. An Emperor abdicated without a definitive explanation? Wouldn't that be a question throughout history?
But, none of them dared to speak, even after witnessing Feng Xian descend from his throne. They would wait for an explanation of what Feng Kim would throw out.
After wearing the armor, Feng Xian received the sword from Feng Kim then raised it high into the air. The face-lout that the Great General put out was so firm and calm, as if it showed no trouble after he abdicated.
"Now I have a Great General! No longer the Emperor!" feng Xian's.
After that sudden demotion, the Emperor sat back down to his throne, while Feng Xian entered the ranks of the Great General should have been. Everyone was dumbstruck, still very clueless as to what made Big Brother of Feng Xian take back his throne after resigning himself a year ago.
One of the officials came out of line, then bowed in salute. The official was the minister of development, Li Hou. All eyes were on Li Hou as he opened his voice.
"Honor Your Majesty, sorry for my carelessness. What made His Majesty the Emperor return to the throne?" li Hou asked calmly, even though he knew the question could cause wrath from the Emperor, but the question was indeed worth asking.
All the officials and people would ask, why did Feng Xian hand over his position to his older brother, Feng Kim?
Feng Kim's countenance was still as calm as water, there was no ripple that showed the Emperor was angry at Li Hou's question. Feng Kim himself knew, his return to being Emperor was definitely a big question.
"My return to the position of Emperor is not merely to want to rule again" explained Feng Kim briefly. Although some people did not understand what Feng Kim meant, Li Hou understood.
Li Hou again asked, "Sorry Your Majesty, has anything happened to bring His Majesty back to power?" This question made the whole eye of Li Hou quite surprised as well as impressed, Li Hou was so brave to question such a thing.
"You're right, Minister Li Hou. I came back because of the emergency situation, and my brother General Big Feng has already agreed to step down from his throne. Do you mind if I go back to my position?" feng Kim asked with a slightly sharp look.
Suddenly Li Hou's back was cold, Feng Kim's sharp gaze was able to make him tremble, as if it contained a terrifying aura there, "Ti-no Your Majesty," li Hou replied shaking while giving even lower respect.
Seeing Li Hou being a little afraid of him, Feng Kim immediately raised his hand, asking Li Hou back into the ranks. Li Hou did not want to flash anymore, rather than trouble it was better for Li Hou to listen first to his situation.
Feng Kim moved from his throne, putting on a pretty serious face, as if what he was going to explain was very, very serious.
"We will fight again," Feng Kim explained briefly as he looked at all the officials, he could react in surprise than the officials, "This time is not an ordinary war, this war is the biggest war in history." Feng Kim.
Surprised? It was certain that they were all shocked, but to Feng Xian who already knew about it, naturally he was just acting calm. A commotion started to occur, the officials asked each other questions regarding Feng Kim's words.
On the other hand they were shocked, on the other hand they did not believe that there would be another war while they felt that neither side had declared war on the Xuilin kingdom. But, Feng Kim said the battle this time was not as simple as they thought. The proof is that Feng Kim had to return to his throne.
"Your Majesty! Respect from Wa Jing's office." One official came out, Wa Jing was the Minister of Security, "Your Majesty with whom are we going to war?" wa Jing asked with a pretty panicked face.
"Your Majesty! Honor from Wei Eri's office." Another official came out and saluted, "Will the war this time be so great, that His Majesty says a great historic war?" ask Wei Eri.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The questioning voice continued to be simple, making Feng Kim's ears sore to hear it. Things like this had already become commonplace in Xuilin kingdom in case of a huge commotion, let alone being concerned with war. However, their reaction this time was overrated.
Seeing Feng Kim seem a little troubled explaining, Feng Xian immediately walked out of his line and immediately shouted, "Everyone please calm down! How does His Majesty want to run if you guys make a fuss?!" The eagle-like sharp eyes stared at all the officials, as if they wanted to pounce on them right now if they were still making a scene.
Instantly the atmosphere was silent, hearing the screams from the Great General meant a great warning to them. No one wanted to have trouble with the Great General for sure.
Looking at all the calm, Feng Xian sighed softly, "Calm down and listen, Your Majesty will explain." After saying so, Feng Xian looked at his brother, letting his brother make a sound.
Before Feng Kim made a sound, he sighed for a moment while closing his eyes, when feeling calm, he reopened his eyes, with a stern look, "As I said before, as I said before, This is no ordinary war. Therefore I return to my position and will join you in the war." Feng Kim's statement again surprised them, as bad as the war that was faced to make Feng Kim have to participate in the war, Feng Kim continued, "The war this time was not triggered because of the commotion between powers. But because of the outsiders, they will colonize the entire Underworld region to rule the Underworld, including our land."
Like being struck by lightning, the officials put on a face so badly. Yet none of them dared to open their voices before the Emperor invited them. It is not good that they interrupt the Emperor's explanation before it is finished and are welcome to ask.
Feng Kim was silent for a moment, he heard her sigh again, "And I want you all to evacuate the people to safety. Not only the people of Xuilin city, but the whole." Feng Kim paused for a moment, thinking about something for quite a while, then he looked at the official Shen, "Minister Shen, tell the news to the other three kingdoms, that I invited a sudden meeting for them. In two days I want them to be here soon."
Feng Kim nodded slowly, but he was still thinking of something, a way of securing the entire population of the Middle world from war. If only there was a place that could secure them, but where? Feng Kim did not know. But that doesn't mean he'll be silent, all of this will be decided after Feng Kim has an emergency meeting with other leaders of the country.
Feng Kim looked back at the officials, long enough until he found another new order, "Deputy General Chang Lui, I want the soldiers to immediately make a large wooden wall surround Xuilin city. Make sure the size of the wood is the largest!" feng Kim firmly stared at the 25-year-old man who was now out of line.
"Alright, Your Majesty," Chang Lui replied firmly.
Feng Kim immediately glanced at his sister, "Great General Feng, you come help. Send all the troops to all the mainland of Xuilin, whether small or large, build them a giant wall of wood. Don't let any territory get missed, do you understand?" feng Kim asked confidently, strongly believing that his sister could do her job well.
Feng Xian immediately knelt down respectfully, "Okay, Your Majesty, I will run!" reply Feng Xian firmly.
Still, there is less. Feng Kim thought hard again, but his worry was too great to disturb his head to think. Feng Kim tampat back and forth on the spot, looking very forced himself to think.
After finding something, Feng Kim immediately looked at We Jing, before Feng Kim spoke it seemed that he was weighing back his mind before he took out, "Minister We Jing, "Minister We Jing, go with some soldiers to the border between Dilie-Xuilin, Cuzzia-Xuilin, and Moa-Xuilin. Increase security there, and .. make sure all my orders are executed. After that come back, and wait for a new order from me," Feng Kim explained.
"All right, Your Majesty. The order is immediately executed!"
***
Although the meeting held by Emperor Feng Kim and the officials was very closed, but the news of the rise of Emperor Feng Kim spread throughout the city of Xuilin quickly, even outside the territory. Many people from low and high class wondered what made Emperor Feng Kim re-ruled on his throne.
The news was spread from the announcement of Development Officer Li Hou with the soldiers in the city square. Many people flocked there just to hear the announcement. Li Hou himself did not explain in detail the reason Emperor Feng Kim again rose to become Emperor, because he did not want to make the people feel worried and afraid.
A great battle is going to happen!
Not only shocked the people but also the nobles who did not know the problems that occurred. In the kingdom there was a bit of commotion from some small nobles. While in the city, the people were only confused, Emperor Feng Xian gave his position and returned to be the Great General of the kingdom, it was not too bad for them, but the question was, why?
Wh why? That answer they could not yet know because the Emperor closed the reason tightly to the people.
In a residence, known as the residence of the Fiveth Princess, there was also a commotion from several servants, including Chi Su herself. He had just returned from the Wuki Pavilion with Shua Xie, when Ogher suddenly heard that the Emperor had abdicated and was succeeded by the previous Emperor.
It surprised Chi Su when he heard it, "It's sudden! Why did His Majesty return to the throne? Isn't it weird?" chi Su asked as he looked at Ogher full of questions.
Ogher himself could not explain in detail, his status was only that of a warrior of the Shua Xie residence, there was nothing he knew other than Feng Kim returning to the throne. After all Ogher knew the news after the Great General announced it to all the palace soldiers. Although the announcement was too sudden, Ogher could not ask their leader any questions. It's not polite for a soldier to ask the Great General a reason?
"The reason is not yet known, but he said, there will be a great war. His Majesty said the war was the greatest war in history" Ogher explained as from the news he had heard.
Chi Su could not close the shock, even though her expression looked so exaggerated, "What! A war? With which kingdom? Could ...." Chi Su immediately looked at Shua Xie, he could see Shua Xie was so calm while drinking tea at the table.
Knowing that Chi Su thought the battle was due to Princess Laila's commotion at Pavilun Wuki, Shua Xie immediately confirmed it, "Don't think too far, don't think too far, there's no way a war happened so fast whereas they just a while ago had a problem with us." Shua Xie placed the glass onto the table, then grabbed the lotus river-shaped cake and gracefully devoured it.
"That problem?" Ogher frowned, "With whom?" he continued while staring at Chi Su, hoping that the maid would answer his question.
The look on the face of Chi Su was so scary, not since when did the cute-faced girl have such a temperament. Chi Su replied curtly, "Princess Laila, of the kingdom of Dilie."
"Princess Laila? How come?" Ogher's expression looked extremely shocked. Probably did not expect that Shua Xie had a problem with that one Princess.
"The wild woman not only insulted Miss Shua Xie, but she also insulted the Xuilin Kingdom. Doesn't he think he's where he is? Had it ... had Miss not let go, I would have been the first to kill that wild woman!" It seemed Chi Su explained so annoyed and furious, but could do nothing if it was Shua Xie who was willing.
Hearing Chi Su being so upset, Shua Xie smiled faintly, "Do you blame me, Chi Su?" shua Xie asked without looking at the servant.
"No-no Miss! I-I just." Chi Su immediately knelt down before Shua Xie, however wrong she remained for blaming Shua Xie for letting go of Laila without giving a lesson, "Ha-servant has no intention of blaming Miss. The servant just wasn't willing to let the woman go quietly after insulting Miss and Xuilin Kingdom," he explained as he lowered his head on the floor.
It seemed that Shua Xie did not care about what Chi Su did, even though Chi Su had kowtowed on the floor like a slave, Shua Xie's calm expression did not disappear. It was as if there was no more mercy there.
"Stand up, who asked you to bow down?" reply Shua Xie with a flat tone.
"But Miss, I am guilty, punish your servant!" Chi Su still kowtowed not wanting to get up before herself received the punishment. How could a servant blame the employer? Whatever the reason, the servant must still be punished!
But, unfortunately, Shua Xie was not that bad person, let alone not recalling someone's mind. Moreover, Chi Su had contributed greatly to the previous Shua Xie, there was no right for Shua Xie now to punish the servant. Shua Xie was sure, Shua Xie who used to definitely not have the heart to punish the servant and the closest person.
"If you don't get up don't expect to ever be my servant again."
