Chapter 90 Detour to Yangping

Sun Wukong opened his eyes, and was surrounded by pitch black, unable to see anything. He felt dizzy and the wounds on his body were causing waves of pain.

He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. Cough cough! The dry pain in his throat made him cough a few times.

"My Lord, you are awake"

Lao Bai's voice was heard in the darkness, and then a red flame appeared beside Sun Wukong, and Lao Bai lit a candle.

The surroundings became slightly brighter, and Sun Wukong could see the surrounding situation a little bit clearly. He was lying on a piece of silk with straw underneath. The surroundings looked tattered. Lao Bai turned on the lamp and came towards Sun Wukong. Xiaohuan was sleeping there leaning against a bamboo, and the guards were also resting against the wall.

Lao Bai walked up to Sun Wukong and handed him a bamboo tube.

"My Lord, drink some water."

Sun Wukong took the bamboo tube and drank a mouthful. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but his throat was very dry and sore. The water made his throat instantly cooler.

“I was in a coma for a few days.”

Sun Wukong handed the bamboo kettle to Lao Bai and asked about his coma.

"My Lord, it has been half a month since you defeated the villain on the battlefield last time."

Sun Wukong has been in a coma for about fifteen days.

"It's been so long, where are we now?"

"In Nanjun, in order to avoid being hunted down, we took the official road to Xianyang and headed south, then entered Qin from Nanjun and headed to Xianyang."

It is true that taking the small road and avoiding the official road can make their whereabouts secret, but if they can think of avoiding the official road and taking the small road, the prince and the other princes may not be unable to think of it.

"Rest first, and we'll discuss the route tomorrow morning."

Lao Bai turned off the lights and went to rest, but Sun Wukong couldn't sleep. He hadn't slept for half a month and now he couldn't sleep at all. Although half a month had passed, he still felt that he couldn't move. The injuries on his body had endangered his life and he couldn't recover in just half a month.

In this world, Sun Wukong seems unable to use the power of the Saiyans. The combat power in this world is similar to that of ancient martial arts. The names of the realms are similar, but the corresponding combat power is much stronger.

Although Sun Wukong cannot use the power of the Saiyans, he should still be able to use the power left to him by the emperor, such as the battle of the Twelve Zodiac Signs, the Xuanyuan Sword Duel, and the internal skills practiced by the Yellow Emperor.

Sun Wukong's body is not yet able to support his true cultivation, so he can only meditate with his eyes closed, regulate his breathing, and circulate his mental skills to heal his injuries faster.

…………

In one palace, the interior was magnificent and golden. The pillars were round, and a carved dragon connected the two pillars. The dragon head stuck out of the eaves, and the dragon tail went straight into the palace.

The lights in the hall were bright, and glass lamps were lit when someone died. There was also a screen in the inner hall, and behind the spring breeze, a shadow of a person sitting upright was seen.

Outside the screen, a man was kneeling on the ground with his head facing the ground.

"What's the situation? Has the news come back?" A domineering voice came from behind the screen. His voice was full of magnetism and echoed throughout the palace.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was attacked by the enemy at the border of Zhongzhou, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

"What a courage!"

All I heard was a roar coming from behind the screen, and the shadow on the screen slammed the table and stood up.

The kneeling man trembled, and then the emperor's voice came from behind the screen again, "He dared to commit murder in the emperor's territory. He is really getting bolder and bolder. Li Wei, draft an order to order Quan Shan to investigate this matter. No leniency!"

"According to the purpose"

…………

Time passed slowly, and when the sky turned pale, Lao Bai, Xiao Huan and the guards all woke up.

"Old White!"

Sun Wukong called out Lao Bai and asked him to come to his side. The guards and Xiao Huan also surrounded him.

"Old White took out the map"

Sun Wukong asked Lao Bai to take out the map. Lao Bai opened the map and spread it out in front of Sun Wukong.

"Where exactly are we in Nanjun now?"

"here"

Sun Wukong asked Lao Bai about their current location. Lao Bai pointed to a place below the blue skirt. Sun Wukong looked at the map and saw that this was the southernmost part of Nanjun. As long as they went north directly through Nanjun and took the ancient road, they would soon reach Xianyang City.

"Your Majesty, if we take the old ancient road, we will reach Xianyang City in half a month if nothing goes wrong."

Lao Bai pointed to a remote route on the map.

"No, although we have taken a detour to the south, the prince and his men may have thought of our intentions and will definitely find a way to kill us in Nanjun."

"Then what should we do?" Xiaohuan asked, standing behind Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong pointed on the map and finally pointed to the northwest of Xianyang City. This was Yangping, a small county on the northwest border. Although Yangping was close to the border, it was backed by mountains and was basically not attacked by barbarians. Every time they attacked the northwest, they would pass through Zhenxi Pass in the northwest.

Therefore, Yangping is very safe. They can detour to the south and then move northwest along Nanjun. In this way, they can go around Yangping and then enter Xianyang City from Yangping.

"Yohira"

When everyone saw where Sun Wukong was pointing, they understood what he was thinking. Although this might add at least a month to the journey, it was undoubtedly the safest route. Yangping still belonged to Qin, and the prince had been reaching out too far recently, which would undoubtedly lead to suppression by the emperor, so his reach would only extend as far as Nanjun at most.

After Sun Wukong and his companions discussed the plan and route, they were ready to set off. Sun Wukong was seriously injured, so he sat on the only horse.

In Chaotian Capital of the Great Zhou Empire, the emperor was meeting with all officials in Chaotian Hall.

"The King of Qin was assassinated in Zhongzhou, and Chixin's whereabouts are unknown. Under my nose, really, the nineteenth prince was assassinated. Is this a rebellion?"

As the emperor was speaking, he suddenly slapped his chopping board with one hand. With a bang, the ministers below trembled with fear.

They knew that it was the Crown Prince who did it, but they didn't expect the Crown Prince to be so impatient. Before His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin left Zhongzhou, he actually arranged for people to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. Isn't this a slap in the face of His Majesty?

"I have ordered General Quan Shancai to investigate this matter with the imperial edict. Anyone involved in this will be exterminated with their entire clan!"

The emperor was really angry. What he said now was just to tell the people below that you can form a party, but if you put your ideas on my son, you must be prepared to lose your head.
