Chapter 614 The Truth About Yuechuan Royal City
Yin Yueling followed Lu Yangyang closely back to where they were staying.
As soon as she entered, Yin Yueling couldn't wait to ask her, "What did you mean just now? What did Master say to you?"
Lu Yangyang turned around. She was also thinking that as the ruler of Yuechuan, King Yuechuan bore the heavy responsibility of the entire country. Even though Yuechuan was a small country, only the size of a prefecture compared to Dazhao, the head of a prefecture still bore a heavy responsibility and was committed to protecting the people under his rule. Why did he have to start a war?
Lu Yangyang really couldn't think of any reason.
For the Queen of Yuechuan, she is the master of the entire Yuechuan Kingdom. What benefit would it bring her to start a war?
Moreover, her physical condition was already at its limit. If she were to start a war at this time, she would be leaving a mess for the Yuechuan Kingdom. It's not that submitting to the Great Zhao would be bad, but given the geographical location of the Yuechuan Kingdom, submitting to the Great Zhao would not only make it difficult to manage, but might also...
Throughout history, the reason why dynasties have coveted the Miao region was not because the Miao army was strong and well-equipped, but because of the Miao people's witchcraft. If it were used by people with evil intentions, it would surely cause great chaos.
Similarly, once the Yuechuan Kingdom, hidden behind natural barriers, is discovered and exploited by those in power, it will inevitably lead to bloodshed and endless suffering for its people.
Possessing a treasure is a crime!
How could King Yuechuan not understand such a simple principle?
If you don't understand, then what was the original intention of hiding the Moon River Kingdom for hundreds of years?
Isn't the hope that the people of Yuechuan Kingdom can live and work in peace and contentment, as if they were in a paradise?
If that's the case, why do you now want to destroy all of this?
So where exactly is the problem?
Lu Yangyang really couldn't think of anything.
Seeing her changing expression, Yin Yueling waved her hand in front of her eyes: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Yangyang looked at Yin Yueling and suddenly asked, "Tell me, why does King Yuechuan wish for the destruction of Yuechuan Kingdom?"
"Huh?" Yin Yueling exclaimed in surprise, "What... are you saying?"
Lu Yangyang originally did not intend to tell Yin Yueling about these things. King Yuechuan liked Yin Yueling very much and even made an exception to take her as his disciple. If Yin Yueling knew that King Yuechuan had such thoughts, Lu Yangyang really did not know what she would think, especially since King Yuechuan had also made a deal with the Crown Prince.
Even if she doesn't say it, everything will be revealed at the sacrificial ceremony three days later.
Lu Yangyang sighed and told Yin Yueling about her bet with King Yuechuan.
Yin Yueling stared blankly at Lu Yangyang for a long while before suddenly snapping out of her daze, "I understand!"
Lu Yangyang asked curiously, "What do you know?"
"She definitely doesn't like the people in Yuechuan Palace. What's the point of keeping people you don't like around? Why not just kill them all?" Yin Yueling clenched her fist and sneered, "I also want to kill those old geezers. They're so annoying! They even want me to marry them and have their children. What kind of crazy dream is that! When did it become their business to decide my affairs? A bunch of old bastards, they deserve to have no heir! If it were me, I would kill them too! Anyone who dares to make my life difficult should die!"
"Wait a minute," Lu Yangyang suddenly grabbed Yin Yueling's arm, "say what you just said again."
Yin Yueling: "What? I didn't say anything wrong. They want to force me to give birth to some kind of heir for them. Isn't that just wishful thinking? I'm perfectly fine, why should I listen to them! If they dare to make my life difficult, I'll drag them down to hell with me even if I die!"
Lu Yangyang stared blankly at the silver moon silk, muttering, "Yes, yes, that's it, that's it!"
"What do you mean by this and that? What are you thinking about?" Yin Yueling looked at Lu Yangyang in confusion.
Lu Yangyang's eyes shone brightly: "I think I've guessed a bit. Now, all we need to do is verify it! You said that King Yuechuan doesn't restrict your movement within the palace, right?"
Yin Yueling nodded.
"Okay, from now on, except for the time you're doing your homework, you'll be coming with me to look for people," Lu Yangyang said urgently.
"Alright, alright then." Yin Yueling originally wanted to refuse, but she also wanted to know why King Yuechuan wanted to do this.
What reason could someone like her have to do such a thing?
Over the next two days, Lu Yangyang, accompanied by Yin Yueling, traveled almost the entire Yuechuan Royal City.
The majority of residents in Yuechuan Royal City are members of the Mingyue Clan and their blood relatives. These people do not engage in production. Apart from those who are immersed in Gu magic, the rest of them spend their days eating, drinking, and having fun, indulging in a life of luxury and extravagance. After all, they have inexhaustible money, supreme status, and even the power of life and death.
In the Kingdom of Yuechuan, the people of the royal city are like gods, while everyone outside the royal city is nothing but ants to them.
There will always be people who offer them the best of everything in the entire Yuechuan region and worship them as gods.
Lu Yangyang had seen the powerful and wealthy in the capital, and she had also seen the extremely unequal positions between the common people and the powerful under the rule of tyranny, but Yuechuan brought all of this to its extreme.
In Yuechuan, blood ties are the chasm between gods and mortals, a clear and distinct boundary.
Anyone who is associated with the noble blood of the Yuechuan royal family is considered a superior person, while those who have no relation to the Yuechuan royal family are nothing but ants.
The peace and tranquility they saw in the holy city were nothing but a false appearance.
Once the Yuechuan royal family leaves the city, no one dares to look them in the eye. They can do whatever they want in the entire holy capital, crushing ordinary people as easily as crushing an ant. And, the gods are innocent.
No matter what sins they committed, they were not sins. In fact, the people should be grateful for them. They all depended on the gods for survival, so everything the gods did was justified. Whether they took away their property or their lives, they had no right to resist.
This is the true Yuechuan royal family.
The elders of the royal family are even more terrifying. They seem to have only one purpose in life: to cultivate descendants with sufficiently pure and noble bloodlines. To this end, they select talented young men and women from various tribes throughout the Yuechuan Kingdom and bring them into the royal city. Like raising Gu poison, they make them mate and give birth to offspring—no, more precisely, Gu children.
In the entire Yuechuan Royal City, everyone is merely a Gu worm, constantly fighting and multiplying, all for the birth of the Gu King.
Lu Yangyang felt a chill run through her body.
But what chilled her even more was that it wasn't difficult for her to find out these things, because they had no intention of hiding anything.
They didn't bother to cover it up.
