QT: The Rescue Of The Miserable Bigshots
Chapter 160 - 6.11

Chapter 160: 6.11

"I don’t want you to be useless."

Yan Wuluan was shocked, looking at Jiang Jiamian’s face so close at hand, he didn’t feel any charming thoughts at that moment. Instead, he felt like an ice knife was pointed at his heart, forcing him to almost be unable to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, the muscles on his jaw clenched before he finally stiffly bit out a few words, "I understand."

Jiang Jiamian’s eyes looked deeply into his and he whispered, "I don’t care whether you are the prince of the Xifu Kingdom or the hostage of the Dongli Kingdom. In my eyes, you are just my student. And I do not allow the students I teach to be cowardly and incompetent."

Yan Wuluan took two deep breaths, "Yes."

Jiang Jiamian withdrew his gaze and looked at the door of the upper study room. Seeing that Yuan Jin still hadn’t come back, he quickly spoke to Yan Wuluan again, "If you really want to make it happen, just think about your predicament, your identity, and your country. Don’t focus your only scheming efforts on rats and mice."

Yan Wuluan was shocked.

He knew!?

Last night he maliciously guided mice to scare Yuan Jin!

Yan Wuluan suppressed the shock in his heart and took back the hand that was pressing on the table in front of Jiang Jiamian, "You can wait and see. I won’t become a useless person."

Jiang Jiamian originally thought that according to the original storyline, Yan Wuluan would wait at least a year before he would take advantage of a minor turmoil in the Dongli Kingdom and take the opportunity to leave this place.

But what he never expected was that just a month later, a fire broke out in the northwest woodshed.

The fire was so huge that it burned the entire Northwest Palace and nearby buildings in the blink of an eye.

Because of the remoteness, the casualties among the palace residents were not serious.

But the hostage who lived in the northwest palace, or to be precise, everyone in the palace knew that Yan Wuluan actually lived in the woodshed in order to keep warm, was burned to death.

The entire woodshed was almost completely burned down and turned into a charred black mess.

When the eunuchs who put out the fire finally moved away the collapsed beams that were burned to ashes, revealing the person that was pressed underneath, Yan Wuluan had already turned into a black charcoal with only a barely distinguishable human shape.

It was already the next day when Jiang Jiamian learned about it.

Yan Wuluan didn’t come so he asked the eunuch and found out.

On the way to Northwest Palace, Jiang Jiamian unknowingly went around to the woodshed.

There was no woodshed there anymore.

A group of servants were busy sweeping away the ashes and cleaning the floor.

Jiang Jiamian’s expression was a little complicated but not lost.

Is Yan Wuluan really dead?

Of course not.

This is a question that Jiang Jiamian doesn’t have to think about at all, because it’s very simple. As his mission is to save the powerful and miserable bigshot, he has not received any notification that the mission has failed.

Yan Wuluan must still be alive.

He just escaped.

For the accidental death of Yan Wuluan, the Emperor of the Dongli Kingdom was ’extremely sorry and deeply regretful’ and sent comfort and compensation to the Xifu Kingdom.

After that, Jiang Jiamian still taught the Yuan Jin every day in an orderly manner.

One day half a year later, the Emperor of Dongli Kingdom suddenly received shocking news.

"What’s going on? He’s obviously dead! He was burnt to ashes half a year ago!"

Above the court hall, the middle-aged emperor on the throne held the paper in his hand that invited envoys from all over the world to attend the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor of the Xifu Kingdom. His whole face was full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

All civil and military officials in the court suddenly knelt down in fear, but they still didn’t understand what the emperor saw and why he was so furious.

Snap!

The middle-aged emperor directly threw the invitation in his hand to the ground, "Post messenger!"

"Here!"

The post messenger, who rushed to send the invitation all the way to the court, responded quickly.

The emperor was obviously angry, and he was afraid that if he was a little late, his head would be in danger.

The emperor took a few deep breaths, stood up from the throne, and pointed condescendingly at the invitation on the ground, "Are you sure that this is the invitation that the Emperor of the Xifu Kingdom personally ordered to be delivered by you? You are not mistaken!?"

The messenger clasped his fists, "Go back to the emperor, there is no mistake!"

"No mistake!? A dead person who died in my Dongli Kingdom suddenly became an emperor of the Xifu Kingdom and you say there is no mistake?!"

"I don’t know."

The messenger did not dare to offend him and lowered his head deeply.

"Your Majesty."

Jiang Jiamian took a step forward and glanced at the invitation card on the ground. "Excuse me, Your Majesty, what is this invitation?"

The emperor’s face turned grim, and he raised his hand to press his forehead, which was still throbbing. "I am just surprised. This invitation is from the Xifu Kingdom for the coronation ceremony of the new emperor and invites various countries to send envoys there. But, let alone the fact that the Emperor of the Xifu Kingdom didn’t look like he was going to die, even if he is really dead, it should be one of his favored sons. It shouldn’t be Yan Wuluan!"

"Yan Wuluan? Wasn’t he burned to death?"

As soon as this name came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

Jiang Jiamian’s eyes flashed slightly. Yan Wuluan actually returned to the Xifu Kingdom so quickly and even ascended the throne!?

Too fast!

Even in the original plot, it took him two years to slowly plot in secret and accumulate strength before he forced his way in and seized the throne in one fell swoop.

How could it be so fast this time!?

Jiang Jiamian was shocked, but this shock was nothing compared to the shock of others in the court.

He opened his mouth pretending to be more surprised, "Yan Wuluan? The emperor is talking about Yan Wuluan who studied in our Dongli Kingdom and was accidentally burned by fire six months ago? Is there something wrong with this invitation?"

The emperor frowned, "I also think they made a mistake, but you also heard what the post messenger said. This invitation was sent by Yan Wuluan in the name of the royal family of the Xifu Kingdom. I’m afraid there is nothing wrong with this."

Jiang Jiamian blinked and ’guessed’, "So, he is not dead? But didn’t the people in the palace see his burnt body with their own eyes half a year ago?"

The emperor’s eyes turned cold, "Maybe someone in the palace was bribed and deceived us. We must investigate!"

"Your Majesty..."

Jiang Jiamian said again.

"Say."

The emperor seemed a little irritable and his tone was a little impatient.

Jiang Jiamian had a gentle smile on his face, "I think the most important thing right now is how the emperor plans to respond to his invitation. No matter how he survived and escaped from the Dongli Kingdom, now that he is the next emperor of the Xifu Kingdom is already a fact. We should come up with countermeasures as soon as possible. As for what happened half a year ago, we can investigate it slowly, that is secondary. Please let the emperor make a final decision."

The emperor took a long breath and tried to calm down. He said emotionally, "You are right. We can’t turn a blind eye to his invitation."

No matter how powerful the country of Dongli is compared to the country of Xifu, it is not absolute.

If they break up with each other rashly, war can break out.

What’s more, the previous emperor of the Xifu Kingdom was mediocre, and the Xifu Kingdom was in a weak position. Of course, the Dongli Kingdom dared to be a little arrogant.

But now, that hostage can transform from a ’dead’ person into the new emperor of the Xifu Kingdom. Thinking about it, it is obvious that he must have a deep mind and must have used thunderous methods.

What’s more, he also suffered humiliation in the Dongli Kingdom.

It must be very troublesome to confront such a person openly.

If they want to avoid falling out, they must act stupid to the end. Since he has handed over the invitation, then accept it.
