Chapter 1613 - 1614: Why Refuse What’s Freely Given?

Although his wife is pregnant with three this time, her belly is as big as when she was pregnant with four before.

Moreover, Gong Juechen said that his wife could give birth anytime this month.

Anyway, Xiao Changyi dares not relax for a moment now.

"Husband, I’m tired." Supported by Xiao Changyi as she walked in the room for a while, An Jing was really too tired to walk and said she was tired.

As soon as Xiao Changyi heard, he quickly helped An Jing to sit down by the bed. Then, Xiao Changyi went to pour a glass of water for An Jing. Once he handed the water to An Jing, he sat by the bed.

After taking off An Jing’s shoes, Xiao Changyi gently placed An Jing’s legs on the bed and then massaged her legs, making them feel more comfortable.

For Xiao Changyi’s thoughtfulness, An Jing truly felt sweet at heart.

At this time, Meng Zhuqing rushed in anxiously and said, "Master, the Emperor is here."

The door was open, and in his hurry, Meng Zhuqing stormed in like this.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s clothes were intact, so Meng Zhuqing just barged in. But before they could ask what Su Chengyu was there for, Su Chengyu had already walked in quickly.

"Brother Yi, Sister-in-law, I have something important to tell you!" Su Chengyu initially intended to call Xiao Changyi to the palace, but with An Jing’s belly so big now, Xiao Changyi wouldn’t leave An Jing’s side, so he came personally.

Su Chengyu seemed quite urgent, indicating it truly was a big matter. Until Meng Zhuqing quickly walked out and closed the door from outside, leaving only the three of them in the room, An Jing asked, "Chengyu, what’s the matter that has you so anxious? You even came personally."

Su Chengyu pulled over a chair to sit by the bed, ignoring whether Xiao Changyi was massaging An Jing’s legs, and immediately said, "Brother Yi and Sister-in-law must have heard about the war between Beihe and Dongji. In just three months, Dongqing, with the help of Slayer Tower, has already occupied seven of Beihe’s cities."

"Beihe has fourteen cities in total, so this is equivalent to Dongji having taken over half of Beihe’s territory. The Emperor of Beihe, not wanting Beihe to fall under Dongqing’s rule, has secretly detoured to Xiyun."

"The Emperor of Beihe told me he’s willing to give Beihe to me, saying I’m kind and can ensure Beihe’s safe and prosperous living. He deeply distrusts the Emperor of Dongqing, fearing that not only does the Emperor of Dongqing want Beihe’s territory, but also intends to massacre Beihe’s people."

"I think if Dongqing completely takes over Beihe, they’ll be the second strongest country after our Xiyun. Even though we’re on good terms with Dongqing, there’s no guarantee we won’t fall out one day. After all, we’re not the same country; I can’t neglect this, so I’m considering agreeing with the Emperor of Beihe, sending troops to take over Beihe while preventing Dongqing from occupying any more of Beihe’s cities."

"But I’m also wary of Slayer Tower. Now Dongqing has Slayer Tower’s assistance, and I’m afraid that deploying troops might lead to our total defeat."

"The situation is urgent, Brother Yi and Sister-in-law, please quickly help me make a decision. Should we take Beihe or not?"

As soon as Su Chengyu finished speaking, An Jing immediately said, "If someone is offering it for free, why not take it? You’re right, Dongqing, after all, and we belong to different countries, we can’t be too cautious. But what is this Slayer Tower?"

Su Chengyu said, "Slayer Tower is an ancient killer organization, extremely mysterious. It’s said to have existed four hundred years ago. As long as the employer can pay the price, they can kill for the employer. Whether it’s killing good people or bad people, or even killing an emperor, it can be done."
