Three days later, news came that shocked the entire capital of the Western Shang Kingdom.
All members of the Western Shang Kingdom’s mission committed suicide!
When they were sent as envoys to Hanling Kingdom, they were greatly humiliated. On their way back home, they could not bear the humiliation and finally chose to commit suicide to apologize.
As soon as this incident came out, the entire capital was shaken, especially the general Cheng's family, who cried loudly.
The Cheng family is the largest family in the Western Shang Kingdom. Apart from the royal family, they are the most powerful in the entire Western Shang Kingdom.
The Cheng family has always been very powerful, and their head has always been a general of the Western Shang Kingdom, from hundreds of years ago until today.
Until not long ago, the head of the family, Cheng Lu, died on the battlefield. In order to honor him, although the position of the head of the family was taken over by Cheng Tu, the position of general has not been changed.
Originally, this position would definitely belong to Cheng Tu. Once he came back from Hanling Kingdom, he would definitely be the new general of Xishang Kingdom.
But no one expected that Cheng Tu would suffer such great humiliation during this mission. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and chose to commit suicide.
As a result, the head of the Cheng family is gone again!
Not only is the head of the family gone, but also the position of general is gone.
In the name of insulting the national system, the monarch temporarily deprived the Cheng family of the post of general, and then assigned it to the Cheng family's opponents.
Not only the Cheng family, but also the Li family, where Prime Minister Li Shenghui lived, was deprived of the position of prime minister that their family had held for generations, and then the same arrangement was given to their family's opponents.
The Cheng family, the Li family, and the Ximen family, all hereditary families whose children participated in this mission, were targeted by the Western Shang kings, and all their hereditary positions were lost.
These aristocratic families were originally the losers of the Immortal Fate Sect. After they were put in a fight, they immediately wanted to file a complaint with the Immortal Fate Sect. In the end, they received a reply - I wish you good luck.
At this time, all the aristocratic families were panicked.
The Xianyuan Sect gave up on them and stopped intervening in the court of the Xishang Kingdom at all. The entire Xishang Kingdom turned into a world ruled by the king alone, and he alone had the final say in everything.
The Western Shang Kingdom has completely changed.
However, everyone still doesn't know that the cause of the change is actually a small piece of jade dug out of the Shiwan Mountain.
In these days, Lu Xiaoyue received news from the Yuanchi City sentry from time to time. The army from the Western Shang Kingdom seemed to have been digging for jade at the gap in the Shiwan Mountain.
Regarding this news, Lu Xiaoyue was a little curious at first, so she went to take a look in person and found that what the other party was digging was actually the jade where the monster from the Shan Clan was buried.
After the baby of the Shan tribe was born, the jade was completely blown to pieces and turned into small pieces of jade.
At that time, Lu Xiaoyue was distracted by the baby of the Banshan tribe and did not pay attention to these jade stones. Now that she saw them again, she didn't think they were anything interesting.
Judging from the appearance, they are just ordinary stones. I don’t know why those people from the Western Shang Kingdom came to dig these.
She glanced at it for a few times and then lost interest in it.
There are still a lot of things to do in Lingjing City, and there is still time to worry about others digging rocks.
Because of this, she did not read the subsequent reports carefully. As soon as she saw the report from the Yuanchi City sentry post, she threw it aside and asked shopkeeper Hong to help deal with it.
After working hard for several days, most of the matters in Lingjing City were finally solved, and the rest were some things that were not very important or that she did not necessarily have to deal with.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoyue planned to go to the streets to relax and see how the Lingjing City was recovering.
After the last victory celebration, the people of Lingjing City have completely emerged from the shadow of war, and everyone's face has regained a smile.
The situation in Lingjing City is slowly recovering. After the threat of war is gone, the business in Lingjing City is slowly becoming more prosperous.
As the twenty-seven cities in the north formed a union, they began to communicate with each other, and their commercial ties became closer and closer.
The situation in the entire northern Hanling Kingdom has changed from the previous chaos to becoming more orderly, as if it were more of a whole.
Although Hanling Kingdom no longer has a royal family, each city seems to have found its center and the direction of future development.
All of this is moving in a good direction.
On the streets of Lingjing City, there were gradually more vendors selling snacks, which made Lu Xiaoyue extremely excited.
After being stuck between papers for so long, she could finally eat freely.
However, just as she was about to walk towards a candy seller's stall, Kenshin's alarm suddenly went off and she heard him shout.
"Xiaoyue, be careful!"
Then, Lu Xiaoyue suddenly turned around and saw a flying arrow that was not stone but jade, flying towards her like lightning.
The flying arrow came very fast, and when she saw it, it was already close to her face.
Without thinking, Lu Xiaoyue swung the long sword in her hand and slashed directly at the flying arrow.
No matter how fast the arrow flies, in her eyes, it is not much faster than the normal speed...
However, what she didn't expect was that when the long sword hit the flying arrow, she didn't hear the sound of the flying arrow breaking, nor did she see the scene of the flying arrow breaking into pieces.
The flying arrow seemed to be a piece of brown sugar stuck to the sword.
"Ah!" Jian Zhen suddenly shouted.
He only felt a powerful suction force coming from him, which not only sucked away all the spiritual energy in his body, but even his soul was not spared.
Originally, his soul was entrusted in the long sword, which was extremely stable and would not cause any problems at all.
But this time when he faced this piece of jade, his body actually failed.
"System, system, help!"
Jian Zhen shouted for help, hoping that the system would stand up and help at this time, but the system did not respond, and it was not even late to respond.
The next moment, Jian Zhen's vision went dark, and all consciousness was gone.
Lu Xiaoyue heard Jianzhen's shouting and also heard his shouting for help. She wanted to help, but she didn't know what the problem was.
In the panic, she unexpectedly touched the jade arrow, and suddenly felt that her body was empty, and all her spiritual energy was rapidly draining away.
She panicked all of a sudden.
Lu Xiaoyue struggled desperately, trying to take her hands away from the flying arrow. At this moment, a huge force came from the flying arrow and pushed her away.
This is the last thing Jianzhen can do for her.
The next moment, Kenshin's voice completely disappeared.
After throwing away the jade arrows on the long sword, Lu Xiaoyue quickly placed the long sword in front of her body and looked around vigilantly, trying to find the murderer who sent the flying arrows, but at this time the other party was no longer there.
The murderer who came to assassinate was very cautious. He missed a single hit and immediately ran away, not giving Lu Xiaoyue any chance to fight back.
