Chapter 395 The Time Has Not Come

When Xu Han woke up, Xuan'er was curled up beside him. She was sleeping at the foot of the bed and yawning.

Afterwards, a burst of heart-wrenching pain came from his limbs and bones, as if his entire body had been torn apart.

"Ah!" The sudden pain caused him to let out a muffled snort.

"Are you awake?" Attracted by this muffled snort, a figure in the room quickly arrived in front of Xu Han.

She looked at Xu Han with concern. The hair on her forehead fell to the tip of Xu Han's nose, carrying an indescribable but delicious fragrance.

Xu Han was stunned. Only then did he see clearly that the woman's appearance was Zhen Yue.

"Big Brother Chu stayed with you all night yesterday. I saw that he couldn't hold on any longer, so I replaced him." Seemingly seeing Xu Han's doubts, Zhen Yue smiled and replied. After saying that, she stood up and said, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Then, she walked to a wooden table at the side and reached out to pour some water for Xu Han.

Xu Han came back to his senses and looked at Zhen Yue who seemed to be fine. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart.

Although he was controlled by that terrifying force yesterday, he could roughly feel what had happened and knew what had happened. Therefore, he did not understand why Zhen Yue still had the guts to appear in front of him.

"Drink some water. I'll ask Big Brother Chu to get you something to eat." While Xu Han was thinking about this, Zhen Yue had already handed the cup to him.

However, Xu Han did not receive the cup immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhen Yue with a calm brow. After a while, he asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Zhen Yue was stunned for a moment, then the corner of her mouth lifted and she asked, "Why should I be afraid of you?"

"I almost killed you." Xu Han's tone instantly turned cold. He did not like Zhen Yue's attitude of knowingly asking around.

"But you still didn't kill him in the end." Zhen Yue said, as if she had forgotten what had happened to the two of them before.

After saying that, she saw that Xu Han did not have the intention to take her cup, so she withdrew her hand and said, "You rest. I will go find Big Brother Chu now."

Then, she was about to leave, but Xu Han suddenly sat up and grabbed Zhen Yue's right hand.

There was a bell on his wrist that Xu Han had gifted him. With such a pull, the bell immediately emitted a crisp ding ding ding sound.

"I said that I don't like your little thoughts. If you understand, then leave obediently. If you still want to be like this, you won't have such good luck next time!" Xu Han stared at Zhen Yue's eyes and said through gritted teeth.

It was unknown if it was because of his ferocious tone at this moment, or if it was because of some other reason.

This time, Zhen Yue did not perfunctory as usual. She looked at Xu Han with a fierce gaze like a wolf.

The radiance in her eyes suddenly melted at that moment.

"I have no other way to go…"

This woman, who had always been fierce and fierce in front of others, seemed to have changed, and her tone had softened a little.

"We have offended Senluo. Only Judge Liu can give us a way to survive. But now, he is also in danger. The only person I can think of who can help me is you."

Hearing this, Xu Han's expression changed slightly, but in the next moment, he said with a calm gaze, "I have no reason to help you."

"Of course you didn't." Zhen Yue said, "But I don't want to die. Why do we have to suffer the fate of being hunted down by exiles after doing the right thing? Even if we flee to Great Xia, they won't let us go."

"So even if you want to kill me now, I will follow you because you are my only hope for survival!"

When Zhen Yue said this, her firm tone and resolute expression made Xu Han realize that what she said was true.

After a moment of silence, Xu Han finally stood up and said, "This is the last time. If you continue to think carefully, I guarantee that you will know what life is like."

…

At this moment, the destination of Xu Han and the others' trip was the capital city called Heng Imperial City.

Xu Han's old acquaintance, Cui Ting and Cui Dazhu, angrily returned to his courtyard in Heng Imperial City.

Seeing that their master was not gloomy, the servants on the side kept quiet and avoided them from afar, making way for Cui Guozhu.

Cui Ting hurriedly walked through the exquisite courtyard in the other courtyard. Along the way, he knocked down three precious porcelain bottles and smashed five beautiful ornaments.

Finally, Cui Dazhu arrived in front of the courtyard of the main house, panting heavily. In the end, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He pulled out a longsword from his waist and stabbed at the precious flowers and plants in front of the courtyard. He roared angrily, "Bullying is too much! Bullying is too much!"

A middle-aged man dressed as a counselor greeted him quickly. Seeing that his master was like this, he didn't dare to touch his bad luck. He could only stand quietly at one side until Cui Ting finished venting his anger and dropped the sword in his hand. At this moment, the counselor carefully walked forward and whispered in Cui Ting's ear, "Lord Guozhu, Yuan Yanluo has been waiting in the manor for a long time."

Hearing this, Cui Ting's face changed. He looked at the counselor fiercely and asked, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

The counselor was speechless and did not dare to refute.

"Lord Guozhu, don't make things difficult for him. Please come in and talk." Just as the counselor was in a dilemma, a hearty voice sounded from inside the room. Hearing this, Cui Ting glared at the counselor fiercely before tidying up his clothes and walking into the main room behind him.

He pushed open the door and saw a blue-robed man sitting upright on the main seat of the room, his hands unfurling a calligraphy and painting.

Of course, this was a very rude thing to do. After all, he was the host and the man was the guest. Logically speaking, apart from Emperor Li Yulin of Great Xia, there was no one else in the world who could sit in the main seat in his Cui Ting's room.

However, Cui Guozhu, who had always been arrogant, did not seem to be dissatisfied with this matter at all. Instead, he took it for granted.

"Lord Guozhu doesn't seem to be depressed." Seeing Cui Ting walk through the door, the blue-robed man slowly put away the calligraphy and painting in his hand, revealing the elegant and handsome face behind him.

'"Jiang Zhichen and Qiu Fanping, those two bastards, clung onto my defeat in the Changwu Pass. They are scolding me from His Majesty. This spring, His Majesty will lead two armies all the way east to take the Jinling of the Chen Kingdom and south to break through the Sword Dragon Pass and seize the land of Jizhou. As a Great Xia warrior, His Majesty excluded me from this matter!" Cui Ting said indignantly at that time.

Although Cui Ting looked careless, he had the temperament of a reckless martial artist. However, being able to establish himself in the bizarre Grand Xia for so many years, he still had a keen sense of smell in politics.

The preparation made by the Emperor this time, regardless of whether it was gathering grain or sending out troops, revealed a faint sense of determination. Once Jiang Zhichen and Qiu Fuping accomplished this, Cui Ting would be the only one among the pillars of the three great powers who had yet to make any contribution. This was naturally not good news for the Cui Clan.

Hence, when he thought of this, Cui Ting was a little angry.

"If you were willing to give me tens of thousands more troops back then, I would definitely take down the Changwu Pass. How could I give that bastard Munch the chance to reinforce the surprise attack? How can we end up in a situation where we are restrained by people everywhere in Great Xia?" He complained with extreme dissatisfaction.

The blue-robed man smiled faintly at that time and did not take Cui Ting's complaint to heart.

At that time, he stood up and walked to Cui Ting's side. "If Lord Guozhu is worried because of this, then I don't think I need to."

Hearing this, Cui Ting glanced at the other party and shook his head. "You don't understand. This time, His Majesty is…"

"Are you determined to obtain it?" Before Cui Ting could finish his words, he was interrupted by the man in green. "Just like his immortal father who was personally conquered by an old man surnamed Lin and shot to death with an arrow?"

Hearing this, Cui Ting's expression changed. He was somewhat dissatisfied and surprised.

His Majesty's father, Li Wenjing, had created the Immortal Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. If it wasn't for Lin Shou's arrow, there would probably be no Great Zhou or Chen Country in the world.

Every time the Xia people talked about this matter, they sighed, sighed at Li Wenjing's death in his prime, and also sighed at his unsuccessful start and unrewarded ambition.

Even Cui Ting only had full respect for the previous emperor.

At this moment, he was displeased to hear the man in green teasing him.

"Cui Guozhu, put your heart in your stomach. Li Yulin can't win this battle." The blue-robed man didn't seem to feel anything about it. He smiled and patted Cui Ting's shoulder again, saying this.

Ever since he cooperated with Dark Asura Palace, it seemed that there had never been any flaws in the promises that the other party had made. However, when he thought of the rations and troops Li Yulin had deployed in the court today, he could not help but wonder. Cui Ting really couldn't understand how Chen Zhouguo could contend against it.

"Why? Could it be that Chen Zhouguo has some trump cards that we don't know?" Cui Ting couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.

"Cui Guozhu has been fighting at the border for many years. I think this Great Zhou and Chen are better off than I am. If they really had their trump cards, they would have taken them out long ago. Why would they be restrained by Great Xia year after year?" The azure-robed man said with a relaxed smile.

"Then what exactly is it?" However, such an answer did not alleviate Cui Ting's doubts. Instead, it made him even more puzzled.

"Because the time has not come." The blue-robed man smiled and blinked at Cui Ting.

"The time has not come?" Cui Ting was even more puzzled. He muttered these words and looked straight at the man in front of him, asking, "When?"

The smile on the green-robed man's face became even more intense. He walked to Cui Ting's side and whispered a few words into his ear.

As soon as Cui Ting said this, his expression changed and he was about to say something.

"Shh." The man blinked at him, signaling him not to say anything.

Even so, the shock on Cui Ting's face continued to intensify, and it couldn't dissipate for a long time…
