Fall Of The God - Yang Xiu
009..Home To Istana—Start Game

“YANG MULIA, actually this forest is right behind the palace,” Li Cao said after he coughed twice because it was a little awkward. He was embarrassed to find the Emperor too late when he was very close to him. He had already looked at Gu Shan Bing with slightly trembling legs, as well as the other subordinates. They are afraid of the coming punishment.

On an ordinary day, perhaps Gu Shan Bing would punish his subordinates very heavily for being negligent. But at this moment he released them and only reprimanded with light words. He has been in a good mood lately.

Which even made his subordinates become more afraid of the change. Even guessing that the one in front of them right now was a fake Emperor, but he (GSB) was holding a dragon-head dagger in hand as strong evidence. So the subordinates did not dare to comment. It was indeed their Emperor.

Gu Shan Bing did not know what they were thinking, he asked Li Cao what had happened during this week.

Li Cao explained that they had been searching for Gu Shan Bing in various places during this one week. The Empress Dowager who had returned from her closed meditation ordered to search for herself in the forest. Whether by chance or what, they finally found the Emperor who was hunting with a strange person. When they saw who it was, they did not dare to interfere.

“Your Majesty, it is a coincidence that you met Her Majesty The Empress here.” Li Cao concluded. He was very enthusiastic when he spoke.

“Yes, but why did the Empress get so weird. I thought she was a shy young lady.” His colleagues also chimed in.

“Hm hm, the Empress looks really great and brave. He's also very clever. Much different from what was rumored.”

“Well, we can't count on rumors. But strangely, why did the Empress live in the forest? Shouldn't he be in the palace?”

Gu Shan Bing was speechless to his subordinates. He was surprised but also somehow felt happy.

“Your Majesty, you must come with us back to the palace.” Li Cao begged the others to follow.

“No, I'll be back in one week and bring the Empress. You also have to investigate why the Empress lived in this forest. Tell this also to Zumu.”

Everyone was silent for a moment then nodded in unison. “Good, Your Majesty!”

Well, and that was how Gu Shan Bing finally found out everything. According to what was reported by Li Cao and his comrades.

Her empress, Lan Lingxi. She was exiled from the palace due to her own charges of chief concubine. Lan Lingxi at that time could not fight back because she did not have any support. Even in his own family he was dumped and estranged. She became an Empress because the old Empress Dowager herself appointed herself.

The accusation was about how Lan Lingxi attempted to poison a concubine Gu Shan Bing in the inner palace. It's just that after he was exiled, the accusations did not have strong evidence. He was found not guilty at all of the testimony of the servant and also the concubine herself. They searched Lan Lingxi for various places to take home, but she was never found for nearly a year.

Hearing that, Gu Shan Bing became furious. He also felt guilty for abandoning his own wife. This time he was determined to make amends.

So now here she is, waiting for someone to pick her up and the Empress to return to the palace.

Gu Shan Bing calmly looked at Lan Guniangs rare serious expression. Well, only when when it came to treating him or when he was cooking, then Yang Xiu would reveal such a serious expression.

From the outside, Fei's screaming voice rang out loud to the surprise of the two.

“Empress! Your Majesty!” call him from the doorway that opened hastily.

Xiu Yang frowned while Gu Shan Bing smiled meaningfully. Today he will bring his Empress back to the palace.

“Guniang, are you chasing ghosts?” yang Xiu asked originally, his seriousness that just disappeared for a moment.

“Empress, Your Grace. Outside .... outside ...” Fei said intermittently.

Yang Xiu further knit his brows inexplicably. “Drink first, new talk.”

Fei said, he immediately snatched the water from the one on the table and immediately drank it. During his life with Yang Xiu, Fei had become used to acting as he was in front of those two high-ranking people. Gu Shan Bing and Yang Xiu were also not too concerned about how Fei's attitude as long as it did not cross the line.

Yang Xiu saw about a hundred or so people in palace warrior clothes lined up neatly approaching his hut. They rode and some carried two chariots.

Then Yang Xiu turned to look at the calm Gu Shan Bing. His eyes narrowed looking for something and he found it. Gu Shan Bing had already realized who she was as the girl surnamed Lan.

Yang Xiu approached and stood in front of Gu Shan Bing who was sitting quietly on the bed. It had actually been a few days that he had sensed something unusual, there were some people who had been watching them frequently. Since Yang Xiu did not feel any evil intent, he remained silent until they were willing to appear. And later he found out that those people were his dark guards Emperor—Gu Shan Bing.

“So, should ChenQie*call you ‘suami’ from now on? Or do you want to be called Bing’er Gege all?” the question was surprising. He displayed a smile that was hard to interpret.

Note:ChenQie (This Wife/I), the way an Empress/Consort calls herself before the Emperor.

While Gu Shan Bing stiffened hearing Yang Xiu's words. His body felt stiff and could not be moved. He was pecking on the spot, it felt good to hear such a call.

“How, Bing’er Gege?” tease Yang Xiu again in a soft voice.

And it was obvious that Gu Shan Bing's ears had been flushed red. Refrain from embarrassment. All right, no one's that brave to her. Especially to tease him like this. But ...he felt happy if the one who did that was his strange girl, Lan Lingxi.

The horse carriage had entered that sturdy gate. So what Yang Xiu saw first was a spacious courtyard with various flower plants as well as fruits there. Not far he can also see the large palace buildings that stand magnificent and sturdy.

Along the way also various stone statues in the form of wild animals with gold layers neatly lined there. To the world of cultivators, gold was indeed insignificant because they made a trade exchange using Spirit Stones.

But if it's an ordinary human being. So the sight that Yang Xiu saw was a form of waste. He clucked a few times looking around.

As a person who lives in the modern world and becomes a successful Entrepreneur, he certainly not infrequently sees luxury. It's just that he is a minimalist who likes simplicity. At the sight of such wastefulness, Yang Xiu could only helplessly shake his head.

Right now, he was inside the horse carriage with Fei. Her clothes have been changed using light hanfu but still look polite to the ancient people. He did not want to cause anything unnecessary, so had to be able to adapt despite a little difficulty.

His long hair is also styled like how the arrangement of hair in women, it's just simpler considering that he has lived long in the forest and does not have the slightest jewelry. He had to be humble to smooth out plans in the future.

Yang Xiu's eyes were still coolly paying attention to the place. Next to his face rested on a clenched right hand, propped up by the wall of the carriage horse. His eyes were still staring straight out the window. The carriage stop was still quite far from the Palace gate, they had to get off in the front yard, the place where the people welcomed the return of the Emperor.

Actually Yang Xiu was a little bit surprised why a strong cultivator like Gu Shan Bing only used an ordinary horse carriage for the journey home? At least as a person who has a high position in the world like himself will have several Demonic Beasts. But Yang Xiu did not think too much of it after seeing the majestic palace after a few days of travel.

Even though the forest is right behind the palace, it is still bounded by rivers, valleys and some large hills. It will take approximately three days to turn up at the capital's gate by horse carriage.

Up ahead there, he saw Gu Shan Bing firmly and gallantly riding on a horse. Yang Xiu smiled strangely, in his brain already composed some plans for the palace dwellers who had disturbed Lan Lingxi. As long as he is in this place, he should play with satisfaction.

Lan Lingxi only wanted justice for him. I don't know what justice is like? So Yang Xiu would use his own way. He can not be surprised anymore actually, because all the missions he has ever done are always strange for him who is a ‘dewa’, well even though he has not officially bear his title. At a minimum, he was an Immortal in this world.

So, with a mission of justice for such a weak innocent girl as Lan Lingxi, Yang Xiu responded with the usual. He will also be happy to play. Life does not have to be serious, sometimes there are times to act relaxed.

“Hohoho, it looks like this will be fun. Haih, I feel like I'm going to hear a laugh from Nirvana.” Yang Xiu. He stopped looking at the place, grabbing fruit for him to eat in the car.

Fei watched Yang Xiu closely. He thought that his lord was happy to be able to return to the palace. He also smiles. But he suddenly worried for Yang Xiu's safety. “May they not be mean to you again, Your Majesty.” Inwardly, Fei did’a. “Your Majesty, you are back,” he said slowly.

Yang Xiu turned his head and gave Fei a smile. “Iya,” reply lightly pitched.
