Chapter 2151: Chapter 2151: If You Don’t Beg, You’ll Starve to Death
“Is that person really the High Priest Demon Heart? Could he be a fraud from somewhere?” The woman still felt uneasy and asked again.
“Whether he is or isn’t, that person is not someone we can afford to provoke.”
The guard shouted at the woman again, his voice lowered as if not wanting outsiders to hear, his roar more akin to a rebuke of the woman’s short-sightedness.
“If they can challenge His Majesty through me, it shows they are not afraid of His Majesty or the Beikun Kingdom. With their way of doing things, it won’t be long before they can annihilate all members of the royal family of Beikun Kingdom.”
“Is it… really that terrifying?”
A flicker of fear passed through the woman’s eyes as she bit her lower lip and asked.
“Terrifying or not, only those who have seen them know, and I, am one who has seen them personally!” The guard took a deep breath, his gaze calming down as he looked at the woman.
“Forget it, if you don’t want to leave with me, then I’ll write you a divorce letter today. You can go back to your daughter-in-law’s family. As for our two children, I’m definitely taking them with me.”
His sons could not be left at the epicenter of the storm. This capital is far too dangerous.
He is lucky to be alive after what he has been through, what more does he want?
After all, the wealth he has accumulated over the years should be enough for their living. It might as well be time to leave while the Emperor of Beikun doesn’t remember him.
As long as they keep a low profile in the future, no one will be able to find them, nor will anyone even think to look for such insignificant people as them.
“Let’s go, let’s leave, I’ll go inform my parents right now, and we’ll leave immediately.” Once the woman heard about the divorce letter, she realized she was scared and hurriedly agreed.
She did not want to be divorced. Her privileged life had been brought to her by her husband.
If she gets divorced, what luxuries could she enjoy? She would have nothing.
…
“So, this is the capital of the Beikun Kingdom, huh? It’s not that bustling after all.”
An Jiuyue and her companions had already arrived in the capital of the Beikun Kingdom. It was not as bustling as she had imagined, but rather desolate.
“Yuu Rong, Yi Kun, go and find out what’s going on with the Beikun Kingdom. The capital looks like this; the people in other places must be starving.”
“Alright, sister-in-law, we’ll go right away.”
Yuu Rong responded, not even waiting for Leng Yikun to reply, and pulled him along.
“Let’s find an inn to stay in.” After sending the two away, An Jiuyue looked at Qian Jiyun, ready to find a place to stay first before settling scores with the Emperor of Beikun.
“Okay.”
Qian Jiyun took her hand, and they walked forward together.
Yuu Rong and Leng Yikun didn’t go to any tea houses to inquire this time, instead, they found a few children in an alley, who were little beggars, and offered them some food.
They asked them some questions, starting with why such young children were begging.
“If we don’t beg, we’ll starve to death.”
One of the little beggars stuffed the cake in his hands vigorously into his mouth, answering Yuu Rong’s question indistinctly.
They did not want to beg, but if they didn’t, what would they eat? Could they really just starve to death? They didn’t want to die from starvation; they had to strive to live on.
“Where are your parents?” Leng Yikun asked them.
“Dad died in battle two years ago, and mom remarried soon after. There’s no one left at home.” Another little beggar spoke while eating.
