Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

Chapter 358 Entrance to the Ruins

Watching the emperor leave, Guoan's thoughts turned. He jumped to Boss Yuan and shouted, "Xiao Ci has woken up. Yaoyao will definitely come to the palace to see him. Come on, uncle, I'll take you to find Yaoyao."

Before Boss Yuan could react, he was taken away by the Guoan police.

"Guoan, what happened to Xiao Ci? Why is the emperor's attitude so strange?" Boss Yuan let Guoan pull him away, and couldn't help but feel puzzled when he thought of the emperor's anxious look just now.

"Xiao Ci has been lying in bed injured for many days and just woke up today."

Guoan pulled Boss Yuan and ran very fast.

Just as he said, after seeing Lu Jiu, Chu Xiaoyi and A Li, Yaoyao did not stay in Lu Mansion for dinner and hurried into the palace.

He was now holding a roast chicken and eating it with relish. Xiao Ci and Yue Yuan were sitting beside him, and in front of them stood the emperor.

Xiao Ci, who had just woken up from a serious injury and could not eat any meat, Yue Yuan, who had been picking up food for Yaoyao, and the emperor, who was standing there in a daze.

Yaoyao was the only one eating at the huge dining table.

"Yaoyao." Boss Yuan looked at Yaoyao, who was eating with her mouth full of oil, with a happy face.

When Yaoyao heard the voice, she looked up to see who it was. She dropped the roast chicken in her hand and ran to Boss Yuan happily.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Yaoyao blinked her big round eyes, and her clear eyes showed innocence.

"I will accompany General Lin to the capital to report to the emperor about the invasion of orcs on the border." Boss Yuan picked up Yaoyao and spun her several times in the air.

Putting Yaoyao on the ground, Yuan Guoan said to the emperor, "Your Majesty."

"Get up." The emperor touched his nose a little embarrassedly.

Who can understand him?

I worked so hard to run from the Imperial Study to Ning'an Palace, but in the end, no one welcomed me, and each one was more indifferent than the other.

Especially his unfilial son, who didn't even look at him.

Just let him stand there awkwardly without asking him to sit down and eat together.

"Uncle, Guoan and Guoguo, you must not have eaten yet. Come and sit down, let's eat. These meals are made by Xiao Ci Guoguo's personal chef, they are delicious." Yaoyao held Boss Yuan with one hand and Guoan with the other.

However, Boss Yuan refused to sit down first and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please sit down."

The emperor nodded and sat down facing everyone's gaze.

Facing their gazes, he sat steadily.

The only sound in the air was the sound of chopsticks moving.

After dinner, everyone sat together and started discussing the orcs.

"The matter of the orcs is definitely not simple, and there have been frequent incidents of orcs attacking civilians in our country. This is definitely a conspiracy of the Northern Di Kingdom. They want to use this incident to disturb the morale of our people." The emperor had a serious face.

Yaoyao blinked her big round eyes, then narrowed them.

"Have you never thought about why orcs appeared in Anping Country for no apparent reason?"

The emperor was taken aback and said, "I have also speculated about this, but General Lin strictly guards the border and would never let the orcs in. There are many civilians on the border. If the orcs enter the city from the border, there will definitely be many casualties.

So I guess there was a wicked master in our country who secretly created orcs in Anping Country."

"Well, then...is there a possibility that those orcs entered Anping Country from the border of Anping Country?" Yaoyao asked with her head tilted.

"Impossible. The border of Anping Kingdom is defended by many soldiers. The entry of an orc will definitely cause a stir." When Boss Yuan heard what Yaoyao said, he immediately shook his head.

Yue Yuan immediately guessed what Yaoyao meant.

"Ruins, you mean?"

Yaoyao nodded. "Because the ruins are only accessible by people entering but not exiting, the other four nations naturally took advantage of this natural barrier and didn't send generals to guard it. Over time, the ruins naturally became the perfect entrance for those with ulterior motives."

Before its destruction, Fengluo Kingdom was the most prosperous country among the five countries. Although it was located between the other four countries, its national strength was four times that of the other four countries.

After the country was destroyed and turned into ruins, the natural barrier made the other four countries feel that as long as the ruins remained, it would be impossible for other countries to pass through the ruins and enter their country.

So they just focused on defending other border towns.

"The orcs entered Anping through the ruins?" The emperor was slightly surprised and asked, "Then how did those evil masters get through the ruins?"

"Is it possible that the ruins are only targeting the other four countries? And the evil master can come and go freely?" Yaoyao's round, clear eyes were full of cunning.

"Ruins, blood moon snakes... That's right, those blood moon snakes are mutated from humans, and those orcs may really have come through the ruins." Yue Yuan quickly strung these lines together.

"What should we do now? We should quickly surround the ruins. There are more and more orcs appearing in the capital. I'm afraid they have spread to every corner of our country." Boss Yuan looked anxious.

"This matter cannot be rushed. You will only die if you go there. The only solution right now is to set up a barrier at the entrance of the ruins. However, setting up such a large barrier requires a large amount of spirit stones."

Yaoyao shook her head, disagreeing with what Boss Yuan said.

"Spirit Stone?" Yue Yuan frowned.

"Uncle Yue, you can think of it as a pile of spiritual stones. Usually, spiritual stones will turn into crystal clear jade. These spiritual stones are divided into four varieties: cyan low-level spiritual stones, blue mid-level spiritual stones, yellow high-level spiritual stones, and purple ones are top-grade spiritual stones. However, spiritual energy is scarce now, so it's already good enough to have blue mid-level spiritual stones." Yaoyao nodded and said.

"If we collect the blue jade, will it be possible to set up a barrier in the southeast?" The emperor immediately grasped the key point of Yaoyao's words.

Yaoyao nodded cutely, "Yeah, you can say that."

The emperor took immediate action and ordered the Xiaoying Guards to secretly search for blue jade, the more the better.

After everyone finished discussing the matter, they prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Yaoyao held Xiao Ci's hand and said in a baby voice, "Xiao Ci Guoguo, you need to have a good rest and eat well. That way you will get better soon, okay?"

"I understand, Sister Yaoyao." Xiao Ci held Yaoyao's hand in return, and a gentle smile appeared on his somewhat cold brows.

When the emperor saw this, he couldn't help but sigh, is this still the bad boy in my family who only knows how to make a sour face?

When Guoan saw Xiao Ci holding Yaoyao's hand, he immediately pulled Xiao Ci's stinky hand away and yelled, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Be quiet!"

"Guo'an, don't be rude to the Crown Prince." Boss Yuan scolded him and quickly knelt down to apologize to the Emperor. "Your Majesty, Guo'an is still young and doesn't understand many things..."

"Alright, Guoan is a true character. I particularly like his personality. Deputy General Yuan, don't worry too much."

Boss Yuan was originally trying to apologize insincerely, but he was interrupted by the emperor before he could finish his words.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity." Boss Yuan stood up.

Everyone left in a hurry, each going their own way.

In an unnoticed corner, the Tenth Prince looked at Yaoyao's departing back with a silly smile on his face, and followed them from a distance.

He muttered to himself.
