Chapter 1053: The Death of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

On this day, there was another urgent report from the front line. King Yue Fei had led his troops to attack the Liaoxi Corridor and enter the Hetao area. He had killed Rada Khan and more than 100 generals of the four tribes. He had killed more than 70,000 enemies and captured more than 40,000 people.

Harmon of the Har tribe led his troops and fled. King Yue Fei took advantage of the victory to pursue and advance more than a thousand kilometers north, all the way to the Di people’s hometown in the desert.

For a moment, the world was in an uproar.

The Northern Barbarians were ambitious to break through the defense line of Jinzhou, enter the Shanhai Pass, and enter the Central Plains. Unexpectedly, King Yue Fei broke through the river first and entered the north grassland.

It was really unbelievable.

After that, news of success at the front line spread.

In mid-September, King Yue Fei captured Harmon and carried out a bloody massacre in the various tribes of the desert south. Other than the old, weak, women, and children, all the strong men in the north were slaughtered.

King Yue Fei’s reputation for being cruel and bloodthirsty spread.

After this battle, the You army was at their peak.

The army had yet to return. They were still staying in the grassland to cleanse and find the main forces of the Northern Barbarians. When the other tribes saw the situation, they fled into the north.

At this moment, bad news came from the capital.

They had integrated the troops of Jingzhao and Jin County. They used the natural defense of these two areas to stop the 300,000-strong Liang army at the defense line for more than three months. Moreover, the Marquis of Zhenguo, who had severely injured the main force of the Liang army, had died in battle.

Thief Liang broke through the capital and went straight to the Imperial City. He also ordered all the descendants of the Yin family to be slaughtered.

Blood flowed like a river in the capital.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was indeed destroyed!

When the news reached Xiangping, Yu Youyao felt suffocated. Thief Liang had slaughtered the Yin Clan because he wanted to cut off the bloodline of the royal family. However, in fact, most of the relatives in the imperial family had already fled south and north after Henan fell. Those who couldn’t escape were mostly unwilling to leave or some idle relatives who were completely down and out.

Yu Youyao was stunned for a long time as her fingertips stroked the small words on the phoenix pearl hairpin.

It was time for Yin Huaixi to return.

Xia Tao walked into the house. “Young Miss, Princess Liyang is here.”

Yu Youyao placed the phoenix pearl hairpin back into the box and stood up to tidy her clothes before leaving the inner room.

It had been a year since Princess Liyang had come to Xiangping.

In the past year, she had lived with Princess Liyang in the Yue Fei’s Residence, but they did not interact much. This was partly because she had deliberately avoided Princess Liyang, unwilling to feign civility and cause more trouble.

It was also because she was too busy and really did not have time to put on a sisterly act with Princess Liyang.

Of course, there was also Princess Liyang who knew what was going on. After looking for Yu Youyao a few times and being rejected by Yu Youyao with the excuse that she was busy, she no longer provoked Yu Youyao.

Both sides maintained the subtlety of minding their own business.

It was also because of this subtlety that Yu Youyao almost forgot that there was such a person in the Yue Fei’s Residence. When she suddenly saw Princess Liyang, she suddenly felt like the dust had settled.

What would come would come.

Although the Eldest Princess had a high status and was famous, there was actually nothing about her status that was worthy of Princess Liyang and the Empress’s attention.

There was really no need to deliberately pretend to be on good terms with her.

It wasn’t difficult to deduce that she was here for Yin Huaixi.

Seeing Yu Youyao come over, Princess Liyang chuckled. “Eldest Princess, do you have time to walk around the residence with me? Speaking of which, I’ve been in Xiangping for a year, but I haven’t had a chance to tour the Yue Fei’s Residence or chat with you.”

How could a guest take the initiative to stroll around someone else’s house?

Her intention to overshadow the host was undoubtedly revealed.

Yu Youyao lowered her eyes. Actually, she was not a legitimate master in the Yue Fei’s Residence. She had just taken the opportunity to move in. After a year and a half, she had actually become so used to it that she had forgotten to move out.

It was indeed not appropriate to say that Princess Liyang was overshadowing the host.

She said slowly, “The Princess specially came to look for me. I don’t think you want to stroll around and chat with me.”

As soon as the two sides met, before they could finish being polite, they went straight to the point.

Princess Liyang’s punch landed on cotton, so she could only say, “I heard that the old Princess Consort of Long County personally stepped in to matchmake you and King Yue Fei. All the etiquette in the three books and six etiquettes was also handled by the imperial family. I think with King Yue Fei’s return, your marriage should be arranged.”

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was at a disadvantage.

The two of them were not familiar with each other to begin with, so it was taboo for them to talk shallowly. However, it was a little rude for Princess Liyang to mention Yu Youyao’s marriage.

However, Eldest Princess Shaoyi had clearly gone straight to the point. She probably did not have the patience to chat politely with Princess Liyang.

Princess Liyang had to ask after all.

“The tea is a little cold.” Yu Youyao put down her teacup. The bottom of the cup touched the table lightly, making a soft clang. It was neither loud nor soft, but it seemed abrupt.

The children of wealthy families had learned etiquette since they were young. When teacups hit the bottom, they made a sound. In terms of hospitality, it was usually not allowed.

However, if the guests were rude and offensive, they could use this as a warning to remind the guests to speak carefully, lest their words hurt each other’s harmony. The host would be embarrassed and the guests would feel awkward.

It would also restore each other’s dignity.

The Eldest Princess did not answer this, making Princess Liyang feel a little awkward. However, no matter what, she had to finish performing today’s scene. It did not matter if it was awkward or not.

Princess Liyang could only say, “I was rude. It’s just that my Mother is very concerned about your marriage with King Yue Fei. Now that the war in the North has been settled, I asked.”

After using Empress Ning as a tool, it was as if all the suddenness and rudeness had become self-righteous. Yu Youyao closed her eyes. “It’s good that the Princess knows that marriage is originally decided by one’s elders. How can it be said by the person getting married? Anyone who knows some rules can’t be embarrassed. The Princess’s words really make things difficult for me. I don’t know how to answer.”

She was just short of saying that she did not know the rules and was shameless. She was a young lady who had yet to get married, but she was actually blatantly talking about marriage.

No matter how well-mannered Princess Liyang was, her expression couldn’t help but darken. She was so stunned by these words that she couldn’t even say the words she had thought of later.

Princess Liyang forced a smile and said, “I’ve never liked to read the Four Books for Women since I was young. My Mother always lectured me and said that I was unruly, but she had always indulged me. After I reached adulthood, my Mother wanted to arrange a marriage for me, so she asked me what kind of husband I wanted to choose. I told Mother that I should choose one from the imperial family, in case she felt that I was unruly when I went to someone else’s house. Moreover, most of the descendants of the Yin family are sentimental. I’m the dignified princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I should be matched with someone who treats me wholeheartedly.”

Princess Liyang seemed to be chatting with her. Her voice was cheerful, but it was cold.

Yu Youyao’s entire body turned cold. Princess Liyang had made it clear that she wanted to finish this scene today. She had the freedom to say what she wanted, so no one could stop her.

Princess Liyang turned to look at Yu Youyao and said word by word, “But when my Mother heard this, she said that I was too naive!”

She emphasized the words “too naive” with a hint of emphasis. Even her speech deliberately slowed down, as if she was afraid that Yu Youyao wouldn’t hear her clearly or not understand or care.
