Chapter 43

After Yang Jun had considered all his own circumstances, he still came to the dungeon to see Sang Jie Guiyi.

During this time, Sang Jie Guiyi had been kept in this dungeon, darkness all around, and with the mental pressure, she appeared even more haggard and her physique grew weaker.

The moment Sang Jie Guiyi saw Yang Jun appear, she immediately sprang up with an excited face.

Yang Jun, have you already found out? Have you already proven my innocence?

I truly am framed, you know that better than anyone.

Have you caught the real culprit? You should give me my freedom!

Sang Jie Guiyi shouted anxiously, her eyes full of panic and unease.

At this moment, she only wanted to escape from here.

Yang Jun ignored Sang Jie Guiyi, treating her violent reaction as nothing.

He walked over and handed the paper and brush he had brought to Sang Jie Guiyi.

Sang Jie Guiyi looked at Yang Jun's action, quite surprised.

What significance or use could these things have when placed in her hands?

Yang Jun, what do you want to do now?

You, write a letter to your Sunshine Divine Emperor.

Yang Jun's face was ice-cold, and he spoke in a low voice.

Write a letter to the Divine Emperor? What letter?

Sang Jie Guiyi's body trembled; for her, this was also deeply unexpected, and moreover, it was a strong sense of unease.

Nowadays, what actually happens in such situations and how to resolve them is the real trouble.

Your Divine Emperor always wants to attack my Great Xia, so I want you to write him a letter, so that while he considers these matters, he also thinks of his own precious daughter!

Yang Jun stared at Sang Jie Guiyi and spoke.

【The characteristic of Sunshine State's governance is that the Divine Emperor controls everything, and now Sang Jie Guiyi is his only daughter.】

【I'm doing this for her own good; once she is truly saved, he will surely come to thank himself.】

Yang Jun glanced at Sang Jie Guiyi and unconsciously nodded.

Bastard, do you think you can do whatever you want? Isn't my father a fool?

Sang Jie Guiyi let out a roar, grabbed those things in that utterance, and hurled them at Yang Jun.

Yang Jun was caught off guard, not expecting Sang Jie Guiyi to do this; he had no time to dodge, and the ink splashed onto his clothes, forming a black plum blossom.

Sunshine Princess, all your actions and words now will cause great loss to Sunshine.

Yang Jun, however, remained calm and unhurried as he spoke.

While pulling up his clothes, he began to wipe them there.

Sang Jie Guiyi originally appeared somewhat aggressive, but seeing Yang Jun's action, her heart trembled, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Yang Jun, if you don't release me, my Father Emperor will surely mobilize Sunshine's troops to launch an assault on you!

Sang Jie Guiyi drew a deep breath, striving to find something advantageous for herself.

In this matter, she has already lost the initiative and the upper hand, making her even more uneasy.

As they spoke, Sang Jie Guiyi moved forward; the iron chains on her body clanged, and the utterly aggrieved her tightly gripped Yang Jun's arm, refusing to let go.

Oh? Is that so? Then what can Sunshine State do after attacking? Yang Jun smiled again and spoke.

Having said that, he fixed his eyes on Sang Jie Guiyi and smiled again.

When that time truly comes, who do you think will be in the greatest danger?

As Yang Jun's words fell, Sang Jie Guiyi shuddered all over.

At this moment, she wore a look of being at a loss.

When the situation actually reaches that point, who is most in danger needs no further explanation.

The greatest possibility is that she herself and the entire Sunshine State envoy will face great danger.

Facing Sunshine's invasion, Great Xia would likely, at the first opportunity, take the Sunshine envoy as a heavenly sacrifice.

How about it, shouldn't you have figured it out by now? In fact, I am truly thinking of your benefit.

Go ahead, write it in your Sunshine State's script—oh right, that's the script you stole from Great Xia but can't use properly, a defective, crippled writing.

Yang Jun gave a slight smile, snorted, and wore a look of mockery.

Sunshine State used to be a vassal of Great Xia, always taking Great Xia as its model to imitate.

Moreover, it exploited Great Xia's benevolence to secretly develop its own strength.

Nowadays, having accumulated some strength, it actually dares to challenge its suzerain, repeatedly invading Great Xia in an attempt to seize its territory.

Facing such an ungrateful, treacherous petty state as Sunshine, the best method is to chop off a hand when it reaches out, and stomp down when it lifts a foot.

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he said no more and turned to leave.

Anyway, the matter has already been arranged; as for what Sang Jie Guiyi thinks, that's her own business, for her to resolve.

After Yang Jun walked out of the dungeon, he also let out a sigh of relief.

Forcing Sang Jie Guiyi to write this letter gave Yang Jun an extra layer of security.

Although Sunshine State is small, the mindset of its few people is not ordinary.

Militarism is their style; now Yang Jun must suppress Sunshine State's desire to invade.

Otherwise, those words I once raised in court would be exploited by someone with ulterior motives, leaving me unable to get by.

Heir Apparent, another imperial edict has arrived from the palace!

Yang Jun had just stepped out of the dungeon when Deng Jian rushed up, handing him a yellow-silk imperial edict as he spoke.

Coming from the palace?

Yang Jun blinked slightly; this Yun Fengyun, what mischief is he up to again?

Yang Jun opened the imperial edict and took a glance; his brows immediately furrowed.

The edict basically said that recently, a considerable number of jianghu martial artists have gathered in the capital.

Their destination is the armory in the capital.

Yun Fengyun was genuinely worried that so many jianghu experts gathering together would stir up something detrimental to the court.

Therefore, the edict from Yun Fengyun meant that Yang Jun should enter the armory to investigate, and if he discovered any issues, he must immediately report them.

The armory is an important place in the Great Xia dedicated to supplying all kinds of weapons.

Within it, the Sword Hut is where precious swords are forged, and many famous swords originate there.

Yang Jun clearly remembered that, according to legend, the holy sword also came from the Sword Hut.

The master of the Sword Hut is a true reclusive expert, although on the surface he is affiliated with the armory and the court.
