Chapter 59 The Ice Island Empress' ambition
Due to Yang Kui Hui's influence in front of the Emperor, An Lu Shan received great honors, and was even made the governor of Liao Tung Province. Thus, An Lu Shan controlled the best troops from the kingdom and guarded the province which was the eastern border. He received the second honor not long after, of course at Yang Kui Hui's urging and persuasion, when he was awarded the title of Second Grade Prince. What an honor because normally, this title was only given to royalty of royal blood!
Indeed An Lu Shan was from a backward race, but he was gifted with extraordinary ingenuity. Seeing how the emperor knelt before the two petite legs of Empress Concubine Yang Kui Hui, he used all his wits to win over this concubine's heart. It turned out that all his tricks worked so well that he won a very high position. But of course many people also feel jealous and dislike An Lu Shan. Among them was Yang Kui Hui's own older brother, namely Yang Kok Tiong who became the First Minister.
With his high position, Yang Kok Tiong then conducted an investigation. When he received news that An Lu Shan was preparing a rebellion, he immediately consulted with the Crown Prince and reported to the Emperor. The Emperor did not believe this and considered this report to be pure nonsense. But at the insistence of the princes, finally the Emperor summoned An Lu Shan.
It was true that this general had prepared an uprising, but had not carried it out because he felt that the situation was not strong enough. He turned to the Emperor and with tears in his eyes. He protested, declaring his allegiance to the Emperor and in this case returning Yang Kui Hui's influence to his aid. This concubine also denounced the Emperor who was easily toyed with by people who felt jealous, even Yang Kui Hui took the example of concubine Yauw Cui who was jealous of him.
"Your Majesty should remember that An Lu Shan is a royal hero whose merits are already very great. It is impossible for him to rebel, and if he really had rebellious intentions he certainly would not have come to fulfill Your summons! His arrival is already proof of his purity and loyalty! The news about the intention of the rebellion was certainly blown around by those who felt jealous of him."
As usual, the Emperor's heart melted and all his suspicions and doubts disappeared, he hosted An Lu Shan instead. That same night, An Lu Shan skillfully 'returned the favor' to Yang Kui Hui, with all his heart, in the Emperor's concubine's room, safe because they were guarded by their trusted men. Thus, by the time this story happened, An Lu Shan had already returned to the north full of dignity and pride, and he was secretly accelerating his preparations for rebellion!
And so it was with the state of the Tang empire at that time. The Emperor's weakness, which fell under the soft soles of Yang Kui Hui, gave rise to the dissatisfaction of many dignitaries, so that here and there the intention of rebellion arose. This weak state of the Tang empire was used by The Kwat Lin to begin his adventure, to fulfill his dream of finding a high position for his son!
------
One day, a messenger came from the king's city to climb the Bu-tong-san Mountains, to meet the head of Bu-tong-pai. Seeing that this envoy was the envoy of Prince Tang Sin Ong of the royal city, Kwat Lin quickly received him in the secret chamber. After the envoy delivered his assignment he quickly left again leaving Bu-tong-pai and there was a flurry of activity in Bu-tong-pai.
Prince Tang Sin Ong is a prince in the city of kings who is also preparing a rebellion. This great rival of An Lu Shan is the prince contacted by Kwat Lin. Just now he sent news about the day and place where Yang Kui Hui would join the Emperor to hunt animals in the forest, one of the Emperor's pleasures. This is the moment The Kwat Lin and Prince Tang Sin Ong have been waiting for to carry out their long-planned strategy.
A few days later, it was time for the Emperor and Yang Kui Hui to have fun in the forest at the foot of the Fu-niu-san mountains, not far from the king's city. As usual, at the time of holding the hunt
the place was guarded by bodyguards. There were also troops whose only job was to look for and herd forest animals so that the scared animals would run near where the Emperor and Empress were waiting so that the Emperor could easily shoot arrows at the animals. This time, apart from several important dignitaries, the Emperor was also accompanied by Prince Tang Sin Ong....
As usual the Emperor and his beloved concubine waited in the hut that was available there, in the middle of the forest. The dignitaries and Prince Tang Sin Ong waited outside the hut while chatting. They waited until the arrival of the animals to be herded by the troops that had intruded into the dense forest ahead. Guards guarded around the place, consisting of the Emperor's bodyguard and Prince Tang Sin Ong's bodyguard because this prince had his own bodyguard.
They didn't have to wait long. Soon there were cheers from afar, getting closer and closer. That was the sound of the troop tasked with herding the forest animals to the place of slaughter, where the dignitaries were waiting with the gendewa with their arrows ready in hand.
Hearing this voice, the emperor came out of the hut, smiling happily carrying a gendewa. A thaikam who became his confidant and his servant followed the Emperor carrying arrows. Not long after, forest animals began to appear, panicking in fear because they were being chased and herded by the troops behind them who were cheering. And the Emperor began with Prince Tang Sin Ong and the other dignitaries rained their arrows on the animals.
No one saw when Prince Tang Sin Ong's bodyguard suddenly slipped into the bushes. This person then undressed and slipped into the Emperor's quarters from the side, jumping in through the open window. With lightning speed, this half-aged man ambushed Yang Kui Hui who was standing watching in the doorway. There was the sound of the beautiful concubine screaming, but her body went limp when she was hit. By the time everyone turned their heads at hearing the screams, Yang Kui Hui had already been picked up and carried off by the man.
"Kidnapper. !"
"Criminal !"
"Don't let go of the arrow, it could go wrong !!" Prince Tang Sin Ong suddenly shouted loudly.
Hearing this, the Emperor who was already pale in face quickly shouted, "That's right! Don't let go of the arrows. Chase and catch! Save him!" !"
Everyone, bodyguards, dignitaries, prince Tang Sin Ong, even the Emperor himself, immediately chased after the kidnapper who had very agile movements. With just a few jumps the kidnapper had run a long way.
"Quickly chase...help him.... Ahhh, Kui Hui !!" the emperor shouted with a pale face.
Suddenly two shadowy figures flashed to block the kidnapper. From a distance it was clear that the two people were beautiful women whose movements were incredibly fast. The older woman had already lunged forward and with a surprise attack managed to knock the kidnapper down and snatch Yang Kui Hui, followed by the second young and beautiful woman moving her sword stabbing. There was a shrill shriek as the sword pierced the kidnapper's chest, which was twitching, wide open and pointed his finger at the first woman as if to say something, but a kick that hit her head rendered the kidnapper immobilized and died instantly!
The emperor and his entourage had already arrived there. With a slow clap the mighty older woman released Yang Kui Hui's fingernails. This concubine groaned and cried as she bumped into the Emperor who was embracing her. The emperor looked at the two beautiful women who had knelt at his feet with gratitude and gratitude.
"It's a good thing you two brave men came to help!" said the emperor gratefully, his voice still trembling from the intense tension he had just experienced. "Who are you?"
"I am the Head of Bu-tong-pai named The Kwat Lin," said the beautiful woman, then pointed at the tall and beautiful young lady next to her. "And this is Bu Liang Cu my disciple."
"Ahhh, presumably the famous head of Bu-tong-pai!" said the Emperor with a broad smile. "No wonder you are so shrewd! You have done a great service, have saved our beloved and killed the evil kidnapper. You deserve a big reward."
Yang Kui Hui had stopped crying, and now he was looking at the two women with beaming eyes. "You guys come to the palace, I will reward you."
The Kwat Lin worshiped respectfully. "The two of you are only doing your duty as subjects who are loyal to their lord. The two of you do not expect anything in return, only if Your Majesty is willing to accept, let this servant of mine work as Your personal bodyguard. Now there are many bad people, without a strong bodyguard it will certainly harm Your Majesty. ”
Yang Kui Hui was overjoyed. "Very good! What was your name just now?" he asked the beautiful girl who had been looking down since earlier.
The girl now raised her head, and with a pair of shining eyes she answered, "Servant name is Mrs. Liang Cu."
So excited, Yang Kui Hui pulled out a gold hairpin decorated with jewels and presented it to The Kwat Lin, and he also accepted the Bu-tong-pai student girl as his personal bodyguard. From now on the girl named Bu Liang Cu accompanied the Emperor's entourage, always escorting behind Yang Kui Hui, back to the palace.
Meanwhile, The Kwat Lin immediately returned to Bu-tong-san with a happy heart because his strategy had worked so well, even though he had to sacrifice the life of one of his members for that. The kidnapper is none other than a member of his own, a former criminal who has high waistline. The kidnapper was only ordered to escape Yang Kui Hui with the promise that he would help him if he ran into danger. However, the kidnapper only found out that he was betrayed by his own leader after he collapsed with a sword through his chest. Only then did he know that he was sacrificed for a cunning scheme by The Kwat Lin, but this knowledge was useless because he died before he could make a sound.
Who is the beautiful girl who is now Yang Kui Hui's bodyguard? Previously, for this task, The Kwat Lin appointed his student, Bu Swi Nio. But how angry was this chief Bu-tong-pai when he faced his disciple's rejection!
"Teecu doesn't dare, Subo. Order teecu to do other things. Even if you're ordered to eradicate criminals no matter what, even if you have to risk your life, Teecu won't back down and will definitely obey Subo's orders! But this... ah, teecu doesn't want to get involved in... rebellion...," answered Swi Nio while kneeling and bowing his face.
Kwat Lin almost slapped his student on the head because he was so angry and disappointed. And at that moment, Swi Liang, who saw that his younger brother was in danger of his subo's anger, quickly stepped forward and said, "Subo, if Moi-moi doesn't dare, let Teecu do it."
"You're a man... how could it be...?"
"Teecu could have disguised himself as a girl. In the past, when he was little, he would often wear Moi-moi clothes and play like a girl."
Hearing this Kwat Lin pensively. After all, he believes more in his student and lover. So far, Swi Nio has always shown a cold demeanor and is sometimes opposed.
In contrast to Swi Liang who always complied with his wishes, even the young man was also willing to serve his lust! This planned work is very dangerous if it leaks, so it is best if it is done by the person he trusts the most. Forcing Swi Nio is very dangerous because who knows if this female student will betray him someday.
"Hmm, let's try it!" he said.
Upon seeing Swi Liang dressed in womanly fashion, Kwat Lin became overjoyed. It seemed that this student really had a talent for acting, so when he dressed in women and acted, he almost turned his head and thought that Swi Liang was Sawi Nio! Thus the strategic plan was executed properly. Swi Liang, who disguised himself as a beautiful girl named Bu Liang Cu, managed to infiltrate the palace as Yang Kui Hui's personal bodyguard!
Indeed, that was the ultimate goal of Kwat Lin's scheme, namely to seduce Yang Kui Hui. The enchantment by helping the concubine out of harm's way was going quite well, but it would be even more successful if the apprentice managed to win over the concubine's heart with his good looks! If Swi Liang succeeded in becoming Yang Kui Hui's lover, it would be easy to carry out a rebellion from within! This is why he agreed to his disciple disguise himself as a woman. He was willing to give his lover to Yang Kui Hui in order to achieve his goals.
In contrast to his older brother, who was already intoxicated by his teacher's persuasion, Swi Nio felt more and more uncomfortable living in Bu-tong-san. He was not at all happy and his heart was against witnessing all the deeds of his subo. Previously, he was willing to become his subo student because of this powerful woman who helped him and his brother, and also killed Pat-jiu Kai-ong, a big enemy who had killed their father.
However, since witnessing how his subo controlled Bu-tong-pai with violence, seeing his subo against his own susiok and even making Bu-tong-pai's leaders resign from Bu-tong-pai, his heart was already unhappy. What's more, seeing the entry of new Bu-tong-pai members consisting of rough people who he knew were former criminals, he felt curious.
All of that was added to the fact that made him feel ashamed and humiliated, namely seeing his older brother become his subo lover. Often Swi Nio would secretly advise his older brother, even advising his older brother to just run away from Bu-tong-pai with him, but Swi Liang ignored all of this. Swi Nio suffers mentally alone, often crying in his room.
Seeing the appearance of Kiam-mo Cai-li, his heart became even more restless. He had previously heard from his late father that Kiam-mo Cai-li was a very vicious heretical patriarch. But in reality, his subo became the demon's ally, even being acknowledged as the leader!
That morning, after feeling the loss of her brother who left without saying goodbye with her subo, and then seeing her subo go home alone without her brother, Swi Nio could no longer hold back his anxiety. He ventured into his subo's room where his subo was chatting with Kiam-mo Cai-li who happened to come to Bu-tong-san.
"Subo, the teecu (student) didn't see Liang-koko who had gone with Subo for several days. Where was he, Subo? What happened to my brother?" he asked with a slightly pale face because several nights he lacked sleep thinking about his brother.
The Kwat Lin furrowed his brows. His heart was already displeased with this student, especially when Swi Nio blatantly refused his orders so that Swi Liang replaced the task. Even if the young man is doing well, however, The Kwat Lin feels lost, especially on a quiet and cold night!
"You don't need to know!" he snapped.
"But... Subo, he is teecu's older brother..." Swi Nio denied.
"Hmm, he is on duty in the king's city. Come on, go and don't interrupt us who are talking!"
Swi Nio got up from the floor and looked at his teacher with wide eyes and a pale face. "So... he... he has snuck into the palace...?"Download Novelah App
