The Human Emperor (1-200)

C37: The Furious King Qi

“Damn it! That good-for-nothing! …”

At the same time, in the majestic golden King Qi Residence, furious roars pierced through the heavens alongside several golden pillars.

At that instant, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the skies above the King Qi Residence. Bizarrely, this lightning flash was only limited to the area in the hundreds of zhang above King Qi Residence, and its surroundings weren’t affected at all.

A zhang -> 3.33m

“Yao Guang Yi! You have disappointed me! ——”

King Qi’s disappointment and wrath were difficult to express through mere words. Before his departure, Yao Guang Yi had reassured him time and time again that nothing would go wrong with the plan.

Considering the reputation of Old Master Yao and Yao Guang Yi’s past results, King Qi suppressed his anger and overlooked the failure in the Vast Crane Pavilion, Yet, to think that this would be the explanation Yao Guang Yi have for him.

Not only did Yao Guang Yi fail to divide the Wang and Song Clan, just like what he claimed he would, his ludicrous actions made King Qi one of the laughingstocks of the capital as well.

Yao Guang Yi was his subordinate and he had always regarded him as one of his limbs and trusted aides. Yao Guang Yi’s failure was as good as his own failure. Right now, the bunch in the capital were probably looking at him as a joke.

King Qi was an arrogant person who couldn’t accept failure. How could he tolerate such humiliation?

“Where is Yao Guang Yi? Bring him over!”

King Qi’s wrath could not be placated. The hundreds of people in the King Qi Residence didn’t dare to say a word before such a King Qi.

“Use my token to summon Yao Guang Yi! I want to tear off his head! ——”

King Qi’s furious bellow echoed throughout the entire residence.

A moment later, a war steed left the residence toward the borders.

Duke of Wei Residence, Duke of Su Residence, Duke of Lin Residence, Duke of Zheng Residence, King Han Residence, King Chu Residence, Prime Minister Residence… The matter had caused a huge ripple among the upper echelons of the Great Tang and the nobles.

However, no one knew that at this moment, as the person involved in the incident, Yao Guang Yi’s was feeling the impact of the incident much more deeply than anyone else.

“Impossible! That’s impossible…”

By the border, Yao Guang Yi was riding on the back of a mount. On his way back to the capital, he traversed across forest after forest, but his eyes were spiritless.

He was a victor in the battle against the Hu. He defeated the Baiyue foreigners without many casualties.

At their moments of death, Yao Guang Yi could clearly see the incomprehension on their faces.

He shouldn’t have been the one to face them!

It shouldn’t have been like that!

This wasn’t what they promised on!

…

Yao Guang Yi could clearly see the expressions going through their minds through their eyes. If it was at any other time, Yao Guang Yi would relish in their astonishment.

Yet, as the victor, Yao Guang Yi didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy at all.

That’s because Yao Guang Yi knew that on another battlefield, in the battle against Wang Yan and the Wang Clan, he had already lost utterly!
