The Empress's Revenge
#179
Liu Zixia was again lying on her bed, she comfortably closed her eyes enjoying the relaxed atmosphere that came before the great storm hit the entire world. The weather outside looked friendly, as breezy as the wind accompanied Lin Yuhua's journey with his group heading to the Upper Continent.
Throughout the journey there were only animal sounds heard, no human voices. Their carriage had passed through several villages yet the village was silent as if no one had ever lived there.
Houses have been covered in thick dust, trees planted as home decoration have died from drought. The roof of the house that leaked even left it alone, the doors of the house open here and there with the furniture in the house still looks intact.
Their carriage continued to accelerate, the speed of the carriage also never slowed down until they finally reached the border of the Upper Continent. Towards the border door many makeshift tents were set up, there were several Upper Continent warriors on guard to secure the situation.
He Yidu issued his token, he showed the token to the guard who served at the gate. The area of the gate covered in spells looked strange, after confirming the original He Yidu token the guard nodded then waved to open the gate.
The gate was heavily guarded because some people who had come to evacuate wanted to barge in.
"The back train came with me" He Yidu said again as he was about to enter the gate.
The gatekeeper nodded, he let Lin Yuhua's carriage enter the Upper Continent. The atmosphere around was silent for a moment as they saw the two carriages being let in just like that. Some people immediately stood up, they wanted to protest but saw the face of the guard who served reluctantly they undo the intention.
"Well, why did they go all the way here when Yuhuan was a safe place?" whispered Lin Yuhua with a frowned confusedly.
Ye Lian turned her head, scanning the faces that came there for fear that one of them was a member of the Angkrea kingdom. "Maybe they don't believe in the security of the Yuhuan Empire, after all with them evacuating here the resources in Yuhuan will still be guaranteed to the residents there." Ye Lian shrugged her shoulders indifferent marks.
Their carriage had finally made it into the Upper Continent, life here looked crowded. There are some residents who pass by on the road with various activities. Men and women mingled into one, happiness seemed so obvious on each other's faces.
He Yidu brought Lin Yuhua and the rest of his family to his residence. Lin Yuhua got off the carriage after the carriage stopped right in the large courtyard belonging to He Yidu, Yizu on the other hand fell into a deep sleep in Ye Lian's hand.
The guards of He Yidu's residence immediately welcomed Lin Yuhua's group's arrival, they bowed respectfully then continued their respective work. No female servants could be seen there causing Lin Yuhua as well as the others to frown confused with high curiosity.
Seeing that, He Yidu's loyal followers gave an answer from behind. "Young Master does not like women, Master has hatred for them because Young Master Mother often tortures herself for the sake of her other sons." The man explained then flew away as if he had never spoken.
